From abandoned baby to CEO

The car started and plunged into the rain.

The rain was getting heavier, and as Sun Xue watched the windshield wipers frantically swaying against the windshield, her heart sank. She felt as if two black demonic claws were waving in front of her...

Exhausted and distraught, Mrs. Lu's face was ashen, her eyes unfocused as she stared blankly out the car window at the storm...

"Godmother, Godfather... he hasn't offended anyone, has he?"

Madam Lu was startled. "Little Sun, you mean... the phone call your godfather received before he fell into a coma was from his enemy?"

"This is my guess: Godfather must have been traumatized by the phone call, otherwise, why would he suddenly faint..."

Madam Lu sighed slightly and shook her head. "I hardly ever interfere in your godfather's business affairs, but I know his character and conduct. Over the years, he has always had a very good reputation among his employees and business partners."

Mrs. Lu murmured to herself, "Howard couldn't possibly have any enemies!"

Sun Xuesong sighed. Although she had many questions, she didn't want to continue the discussion. Perhaps the police could answer her questions once they retrieved the call logs.

She reassured her, "Godmother, don't worry too much. I'll stay by your side during this time. Godfather will wake up. With Nicholas and me here, the crises facing the Lu Group will be resolved one by one."

Madam Lu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Xiao Sun."

Sun Xue was relieved to finally see a smile on Madam Lu's face.

From the moment I saw Mrs. Lu at the hospital, her face was full of sorrow and her eyes were filled with sadness.

Sun Xue could understand Madam Lu's feelings at this moment. This kind-hearted wealthy lady was still finding it hard to accept the sudden change.

At this moment, she had to stay by Madam Lu's side, giving her confidence and strength.

"Godmother, take a nap first, I'll wake you up when we get to the police station."

Sun Xue couldn't help but feel sorry for Madam Lu, whose face looked haggard.

As she spoke, she picked up a blanket from the back seat and covered Mrs. Lu's legs with it.

Madam Lu nodded. "Little Sun, I really am a little tired."

She closed her eyes slightly, leaned back in her chair, and quickly fell into a deep sleep...

Half an hour later, the car slowly drove into the police station.

At the same time, a black luxury Mercedes-Benz passed them and drove out of the police station.

The driver adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and sped away into the rain...

I reported the case to the police and gave a statement.

The police told her that retrieving the call content required a complete review process and that they should go back and wait for further notice.

Sun Xue was a little disappointed. She naively thought that someone of Madam Lu's prominent status would immediately obtain the contents of the call.

On my way home from the police station, the rain gradually stopped.

Upon arriving at the villa, the butler had already prepared a meal to welcome Madam Lu. The meal was very lavish, but Madam Lu had no appetite at all. Instead, she warmly urged Sun Xue and Zhu Biao to eat more.

Zhu Biao looked at the table full of food and exclaimed in surprise that this wealthy family's lunch was as luxurious as a five-star hotel meal.

He didn't stand on ceremony and ate with great relish.

He's only had a bowl of instant noodles since he left last night, and he's starving.

After dinner, Sun Xue escorted Madam Lu upstairs to rest.

As they passed a room, Madam Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "Little Sun, come in with me. Let's make a wish for your godfather before Buddha and pray that Buddha will protect him and keep him safe."

As you push open the door, a faint, refreshing scent of incense wafts into your nostrils.

The room was simply furnished, with a Buddha statue enshrined in the center of a solid wood wooden table, surrounded by seasonal fruits.

Sun Xue was a little nervous. She lit an incense stick, stood up straight with her hands clasped, and bowed, just like Madam Lu.

The sound of Mrs. Lu's devout prayer reached her ears: "Buddha, please bless Howard with peace and health!"

Sun Xue also prayed, "Buddha, please bless my godfather to wake up soon!"

Then, the two knelt on the prayer mats and kowtowed.

When Sun Xue helped Madam Lu out of the room, she noticed that Madam Lu's eyes were slightly red.

She knew that Madam Lu had been a Buddhist for many years and had donated a lot of money to the temple for this purpose.

At this moment, Madam Lu placed all her hopes on Buddha, hoping that Old Master Lu could escape this calamity.

“Godmother, Buddha will surely protect Godfather. Don’t worry too much, get some rest. I know you didn’t sleep a wink last night.”

Madam Lu nodded, her eyes red-rimmed. "That's right, Buddha will definitely protect your godfather."

After settling Madam Lu in, Sun Xue didn't dare to rest. She immediately called Wang Ke and briefly told him about Lu Huohua's coma.

"Ah! What happened? Why did President Lu suddenly faint? I'm coming over right away!"

"Mr. Wang, please don't worry. Tingfeng and I are here. I'll let you know if there's any update on Mr. Lu's situation. I have something else to ask you..."

She briefly explained to Wang Ke about attending the international conference and instructed him to immediately go to the relevant department to handle the company's qualification certification.

"I will send you the relevant information later. Just do as I say. Director Sun has already spoken to the relevant department leaders."

“Okay, Mr. Sun, I understand. You can handle the Lu family's affairs while I take care of things at the company.”

After hanging up the phone, she called Director Sun and told him the truth about Lu Huohua's hospitalization.

"Director Sun, I may not be able to go back for the time being. I need to help handle things here, such as the relevant qualification certifications. I have already arranged it with my company's vice president."

"Xiao Sun, you go about your business. I understand."

Hearing this, Sun Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Sun, if you need my help with Old Master Lu, please don't hesitate to ask. I have some hospital resources; let's see if I can connect him with a better team of experts."

"Thank you, Director Sun."

Less than ten minutes after hanging up the phone, Lu Tingfeng returned looking exhausted.

Upon seeing Sun Xue, he forced a smile, "Sister, why didn't you and Master Zhu go to rest?"

"I'm fine. You haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Sun Xue asked.

Lu Tingfeng put down his bag. "I haven't eaten. I'm actually a bit hungry. I called Butler Shi on the way back and asked him to prepare some food for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Shi appeared in the hall, smiling kindly:

"Young Master, you're back. Are you tired? Please wash your face first. The meal is ready for you."

Lu Tingfeng nodded, pressed his temples with his fingers, and twisted his neck to relax.

Butler Shi?

Sun Xue's gaze fell on the housekeeper. No wonder she felt that the housekeeper and Manager Shi looked somewhat alike.

Could it be that Butler Shi and Manager Shi are father and son?

It seems that Manager Shi holds a high position in the hearts of Lu Huohua's family.

Butler Shi seemed to notice the doubt in Sun Xue's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Ms. Sun, why don't you have some more with the young master?"
