Miss Lu is charming and seductive, and she hooks Mr. Ji into a

"Xiaotang, to be honest, I only found out about this after asking Shengzhou on New Year's Eve."

"Since then I have been thinking about how I can repay you for this kindness."

Lu Tang lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"I don't plan to give this ring to anyone else. It's yours since childhood." Old Master Ji raised his head, his eyes red. "When you were little, you were the most sensible. Seeing you being abused by your father, I couldn't bear it, so I prepared this ring."

"This ring originally represented my pity for you. Now it bears the kindness of the Ji family, so I give it to you again."

"If you encounter problems you can't solve in the capital, just light up this ring and it will help you."

As he said that, he placed the ring on Lu Tang's desk.

"You've led the Lu family forward, and you might not appreciate the power this ring represents, so I've prepared something."

As he spoke, Mr. Ji waved to the assistant behind him.

The assistant took out a contract and placed it in front of Lu Tang.

"This is 40% of Ji's shares. Sign it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tang's heart skipped a beat.

Forty percent. If she signed this contract, she would be the largest shareholder of Ji's.

She shook her head and pushed the contract aside: "No, I can't sign it."

This contract represents too much; it is the lifeblood of the Ji family.

It seemed as if Mr. Ji had guessed this result long ago.

He smiled and said, "Xiaotang girl, I have cancer. The doctor said I only have three months left."

Lu Tang was stunned and his face turned stiff.

"Shengzhou and Jixuan both have their own abilities now. I'm not worried. What I'm most worried about is you." There was a peaceful smile on his face, and every word he said was sincere.

Hearing the last three words, Lu Tang couldn't hold back her tears.

Amidst the dim lights of the houses, it turned out that someone had left a window open for her, waiting for her to return home.

"Please be my subordinate, otherwise I, an old man, will die with regrets." Old Master Ji pleaded.

Lu Tang held the pen, his hands shaking.

Finally, she signed her name at the end of the contract.

Mr. Ji didn't mean to leave. He continued, "Xiaotang, are you pregnant?"

Before Lu Tang could open her mouth to ask, Old Man Ji interrupted her: "I guess, you have been vomiting these days."

"Xiaotang, I won't tell Shengzhou. It's up to you whether to let this child go or stay. If he stays, he can keep you company. If not, I'll go and take care of him."

These words were so tender that Lu Tang was still a little uncomfortable with them.

What was she going to do with the baby? When she saw the two bars on the pregnancy test stick last night, she already had the answer in her heart.

To stay.

She was a child without mother's love, so Lu Tang didn't want her child to be like her.

"There's one last thing, Xiaotang. I support you whether you want to break up or divorce, but I beg you not to hate me or Shengzhou."

This was the first time since Lu Tang could remember that he saw Old Man Ji begging someone so humbly.

Lu Tang's eyes were red, and he nodded: "Yeah."

She didn't hate it, she just couldn't face it.

After saying that, Mr. Ji was pushed out of the office.

Lu Tang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the old man get into the car.

This 40% clause was left to Ji Shengzhou by Mr. Ji.

The last time Lu Tang went to the old house, he met Ji’s lawyer.

I'm here to make a will for the old man.

It was normal for Mr. Ji to make a will now as he was old, but she didn't expect that he only had three months left.

Through the crack in the door, she vaguely heard the distribution of the Ji family's property.

Looking at the handwriting on the contract, Lu Tang laughed at himself.

She didn't sign with a carbon pen, but with a fading pen.

The black writing will disappear automatically within three days.

In just a few seconds of consideration, she still chose Ji Shengzhou.

In half a day, all the online comments about last night disappeared.

When the company resumed work, no one mentioned what happened last night.

Lu Tang sat in the office, busy all day.

Lin Yuan brought lunch at noon, but Lu Tang vomited after eating only two bites.

She hadn't eaten anything until evening.

Just as she was about to get up, her cell phone rang.

It was a message from Ji Shengzhou.

"let's talk."

Lu Tang's emotions stabilized and the excitement of last night faded away.

"it is good."

Half an hour later, Ji Shengzhou stood at the door of the office.

His face was yellow and he looked much more haggard than yesterday.

"I heard from Xiaoyuan that you didn't eat much at noon today, so I brought you some white porridge that Auntie cooked."

After saying that, he placed the thermos on Lu Tang's desk.

Lu Tang shook his head, sat in the chair, and took a deep breath.

The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The office was so quiet that the sound of employees walking outside the door could be heard clearly.

"Do we have to separate?"

Ji Shengzhou looked into her eyes and spoke first.

Lu Tang didn't dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her head and looked at the table: "Yeah."

"When you have time, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the procedures." She answered straightforwardly.

"understood."

After a long time, Ji Shengzhou finally uttered these three words.

After discussing this matter, the two of them had no more topics to talk about.

"If everything is fine, you can go. Ask the aunt at home to pack my things. I will ask Xiaoyuan to pick them up in a few days."

"Except you and me, no one else can enter Yuanshan." Ji Shengzhou interrupted her.

Yuanshan Villa is a private villa built by Ji Shengzhou. It has a strict security system and no one else can enter.

Lu Tang was stunned for a moment: "I'll go get it the day after tomorrow, and ask Aunt Zhang to pack it up and leave it at the door."

Ji Shengzhou nodded.

"Let's go." Lu Tang began to drive people away.

Every second she stayed with Ji Shengzhou, the more guilty she felt.

In the end, she couldn't get over this hurdle.

Ji Shengzhou forced a smile from the corner of his lips: "Lu Tang, does that mean everything we've experienced before doesn't count anymore?"

Lu Tang turned the chair around and faced away from him: "I'm tired and need to rest. You can go now."

Ji Shengzhou stood up and looked at her back in silence for a long time.

The door was opened by Lin Yuan from the outside, and Ji Shengzhou turned and left.

After making sure Ji Shengzhou was far away, Lin Yuan spoke: "Ms. Tang, next week's prenatal checkup has been arranged for you."

"Which hospital?" Lu Tang's voice was clearly choked with suppressed sobs.

"Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Ji Group's pharmaceutical industry is spread throughout the capital, and Lu Tang doesn't want Ji Shengzhou to know that she is pregnant.

You can only go to a public hospital.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Tang had been sleeping in the company these days.

She has renovated the original apartment into a design studio.

The only two places to live now are the company and the Lu family’s villa.

Since the fire, Lu Tang has been looking for someone to demolish and renovate the house. Three months later, the renovation of the house has entered the final stage.
