Rich Family: The Crazy and Naughty Heroine Dotes on the Real Daughter

"I don't know where he went..."

Before the light in Lu Qingtang's eyes faded, Ning Yan spoke again, "But I know who might know where he went."

-

In the Jiang family villa.

Lu Wensheng stood in the fitting room, quietly looking at the clock on the wall.

The pointer moved forward little by little at a constant speed.

In half an hour, the Jiang family's adopted daughter's recognition banquet will officially begin.

However, the protagonist Lu Wensheng did not change his clothes.

She was still wearing that simple black dress, with countless dazzling clothes and jewelry placed around her.

Lu Wensheng stared at the clock on the wall with his dark almond-shaped eyes, watching it move forward minute by minute.

The huge black clock, reflected in the girl's quiet eyes, spontaneously and automatically generated a string of data with infinite possibilities.

Lu Wensheng just sat there, and no one knew how long she had been sitting there.

Finally, at the last minute before the banquet started, her cell phone, which she had placed aside, rang.

Lu Wensheng lowered his eyes and looked at the string of unfamiliar numbers flashing on the screen.

She stared at the number, which should have been in her phone long ago, occupying a prominent position, but had only just appeared on her screen. She stared at it for a few seconds, then answered it without any sign of anything unusual. "Hello."

Across the screen, Madam Lu's hesitant voice came, "Shengsheng, are you busy right now?"

"Can you come back to see mom..."

"Mom is not feeling well. The servants are not at home. Mom is feeling very uncomfortable right now..."

Lu Wensheng listened quietly to Mrs. Lu's voice. After she finished speaking, he said calmly, "If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor. I can help you call the emergency number."

"No!" Mrs. Lu's voice suddenly became more anxious and sharp, and then she softened her tone as if she had thought of something. "No need to call the emergency number... it's just... it's just..."

"Mom misses you. Can you come back and see me?"

Lu Wensheng didn't say anything, and there was no expression on his soft, pale face.

Madam Lu didn't hear her voice, and her voice became more panicked. Finally, she seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally made up her mind and begged, "Shengsheng, just this once, okay?"

"Mom, please just this once..."

"Please come back to see Mommy..."

"I prepared... a lot of delicious food for you..."

"I made all of this myself. Can you come back and have dinner with mom?"

Lu Wensheng stared at the clock on the wall that was still ticking, listening to Mrs. Lu's heartfelt voice, without a trace of expression on his face.

She calculated the time, making sure that Mrs. Lu's emotions were expressed appropriately and would not arouse suspicion from the person opposite her, and then she said slowly, "Okay."

Hearing Lu Wensheng's words, Mrs. Lu on the opposite side was obviously relieved, "Then... come back as soon as possible."

"I'll prepare dinner... and wait for you."

Lu Wensheng said softly, "Okay."

Only after confirming that Lu Wensheng agreed did Mrs. Lu hang up the phone.

Lu Wensheng put away his phone and walked out the door without any strange expression on his face.

Jiang Shubai was standing outside the door. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and looked over.

Lu Wensheng called out respectfully, "Teacher."

Jiang Shubai stared at her quietly for a moment, then his gaze fell on the hall that looked like a dream castle. "Can't you really stay?"

"I really want to..."

Lu Wensheng looked at Jiang Shubai's face, which was so beautiful that it surpassed human limits, and said softly, "Teacher, thank you, and thank you Madam Jiang, but I... don't need a mother."

After saying that, she walked past Jiang Shubai and headed downstairs.

Jiang Shubai looked at her back with his blue eyes and suddenly said, "I'm sorry..."

Lu Wensheng was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Jiang Shubai, as if she didn't understand why he should apologize to her.

Si Yan apologized to her, and Lu Wensheng could understand.

But why did Jiang Shubai apologize to her?

Jiang Shubai had helped her so much, so logically, she should be the one to thank him...

Jiang Shubai looked at her calm eyes and thought of the equally quiet little girl in the orphanage. But at that time, she was just quiet, far from being this dead silent.

It was so silent... as if it had lost all emotional fluctuations.

Jiang Shubai looked away and said softly, "Come back soon."

Lu Wensheng nodded at him and said without any strange expression, "I understand, teacher."

After saying that, she turned and left the Jiang family villa, leaving this grand event held specially for her far behind.

After Lu Wensheng left, Jiang Shubai looked down at his hands.

He just wanted to say—

He regretted it—

I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye and left her in an orphanage... for so many years.

Lu Wensheng walked out of the Jiang family villa and was about to take a taxi to the Lu residence when Lu Xiuyuan suddenly got out of the car on the side of the road. His face was ashen and he almost forcefully grabbed her hand and said, "Don't go!"

Lu Wensheng frowned, looking at the furious man in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Lu doesn't have my number, and with her methods, there's no way she can find out."

"It could only have been given to her by someone from Lu Erya's side."

"This is a clue. Tell it to Professor Zhu. We should still have time to track down the signal now..."

Seeing that she was still analyzing the situation in an orderly manner at this time, Lu Xiuyuan was so angry that he grabbed her collar.

He looked at Lu Wensheng and said coldly, "Your biological mother is willing to kill you for the sake of a bastard who will replace your life—"

"Lu Wensheng, you should be angry!"

She could be sad, heartbroken, or even crazy, but she would never be this calm.

Lu Wensheng stared at the furious Lu Xiuyuan for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, "I won't be angry for Madam Lu."

Under Lu Xiuyuan's cold gaze, Lu Wensheng said indifferently, "Because I have never considered her as my mother."

"When dealing with a stranger who wants to kill me, I won't get angry. I will only...retaliate fiercely!"

"Mrs. Lu wants me dead, and I want her to die too!"

Lu Xiuyuan's anger suddenly subsided.

Lu Wensheng looked at his suddenly stiff face and smiled, "Look, Master Lu, you can't do anything."

After saying that, she broke free from Lu Xiuyuan's hand and got into a taxi on the side of the road.

Lu Xiuyuan watched Lu Wensheng being carried in the car and heading towards where Mrs. Lu lived. He was so angry that he punched the car door.

Yes.

There is nothing he can do.

He couldn't stop Lu Wensheng's plan.

There was no way he could just watch Mrs. Lu die.
