Chapter 882: Determined To Probe (2)

Soon after this voice appeared, another voice refuted, “How could there be a mistake? The paternity test had been as clear as day. How else could there be a mistake?

But paternity tests were not foolproof. Was it 100%? Did anyone tamper with the paternity test back then? If it was the real deal, there would be no harm in testing again, right?

The initial voice completely drowned out the voice of the rebuttal. Although Lu Xiangtian had a gloomy face and did not say anything along the way, he had already made a decision in his heart.

After getting out of the car, Lu Xiangtan immediately told the old butler, “Ask the Miss to come over for dinner tonight. Tell her that I miss her a little. Also, don’t let anyone leak what happened today. Otherwise, you should know the consequences.”

The old butler had accompanied Lu Xiangtian to look for Zhao Youlin. Just like Lu Xiangtian, he was also shocked by what he had seen and heard today. Naturally, he knew that this matter was of great importance.

Now that he heard Lu Xiangtian’s instructions, he knew that Lu Xiangtian already had a plan in mind. He quickly replied, “Rest assured, master. I’ll send someone to invite her over. I’ll keep your best men in the loop. I’ll make sure that they keep their mouths shut about what happened today.”

Lu Xiangtian nodded and raised his head to look at the luxurious building in front of him. Suddenly, he felt an indescribable emptiness. It was hard to imagine what would happen to him if Lu Shu did not turn out to be his child.

“Do you think that what Ms. Zhao said is true?”

The old butler was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lu Xiangtian was talking to him. He deliberated for a moment, and he said in a reserved manner, “Ms. Zhao’s words may not be all true, nor may they all be false. It is only up to us to clarify it.”

Lu Xiangtian turned his head and pointed at the old butler. He smiled and said, “You’re a sly one!”

…

The old butler smiled. “I learned it from the best.”

Lu Xiangtian smiled for a while and let out a sigh of relief. He said hoarsely, “I agree. Words can only push a narrative so far. It is up to us to find the hard evidence ourselves. I hope that we won’t be let down by it.”

After Lu Shu and Li Yan quarreled, Li Yan never went home again. He either stayed at the police station or in a hotel. Although he was often away from home in the past, he would at least call to inform her in advance, but now, he didn’t even come back with a phone call.

Lu Shu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. However, she didn’t dare to complain to Lu Xiangtian. Otherwise, who knew if Lu Xiangtian would attack Li Yan in a fit of anger? It wasn’t like this had never happened before.

When she received the call, Lu Shu was still angry. She did not want to go, but Lu Xiangtian specifically called her to have dinner with him. She was too embarrassed to refuse, so she reluctantly got into the car.

When they arrived at the Lu residence, Lu Shu finally came back to her senses. She frowned and asked the old butler, “Why did my father suddenly call me over?”

The old Butler smiled. “Your father misses you. Ever since you got married, you are rarely seen at him. Of course he would feel lonely.”

Lu Shu felt that something was not right, but she could not put her finger on it. After hearing the butler’s words, she did not care too much. She only knew that it was indeed very likely for Lu Xiangtian to miss her, so she nodded and walked inside.

Lu Xiangtian had already instructed the kitchen to prepare for Lu Shu’s visit, so the dishes on the table were basically all Lu Shu’s favorite dishes.

Lu Shu looked at the table of dishes and temporarily eased the doubts in her heart. However, when she sat down, she could not help but ask, “Dad, why did you suddenly call me over?”

Lu Xiangtian glanced at her unhappily. “Can’t I call you over without any reason? Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve visited you?”

Lu Shu muttered disapprovingly. “Didn’t you just come back last week?”

Lu Xiangtian snorted coldly. He pretended to be angry and said, “So you can still count the weeks. What was the promise before you got married? You’ll visit me once a week. What happened to that? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so soft-hearted and let you get married in the first place. You’ve forgotten your old man!”

“Father!” Lu Shu blushed and glared at Lu Xiangtian. At that time, she was indeed the one who had rushed to marry Li Yan, but she was still a girl, after all. She would still be embarassed.

“What? Aren’t you going to let others talk about it? I told you that Li Yan would not be a good match. You won’t be happy if you marry him, but you refused to listen. Isn’t it better now? I heard that that kid hasn’t been home recently and has been fooling around outside.”

Lu Shu’s heart skipped a beat when Lu Xiangtian suddenly mentioned Li Yan. She quickly tried to defend Li Yan. “Dad, there’s been a lot of things going on at the Bureau recently. Brother Yan is busy, not fooling around outside.”

“You’re still defending him! Tell me honestly, did he quarrel with you because of what happened with Ms. Zhao?”

Lu Xiangtian hit the nail on the head. Lu Shu shuddered and lowered her head bitterly, taking it as a tacit agreement.

She was wondering why Lu Xiangtian would suddenly call her over for nothing. So that was the reason! That’s right. Who was Lu Xiangtian? How could the matter between her and Li Yan be hidden from his eyes?

Lu Shu, who thought that she had come into contact with the truth, had no idea that what she was thinking was completely different from what Lu Xiangtian was thinking.

Lu Xiangtian looked at Lu Shu’s expression. He paused and sighed again. “I told you before that he’s not suitable for you. “You, as the eldest lady of the Lu family, deserve so much more? Why would you pursue that unromantic brat? If it weren’t for you, I would have dealt with him a long time ago. He still doesn’t know how to cherish you.”

The disappointment in Lu Shu’s eyes flashed past, but she quickly recovered. She smiled at Lu Xiangtian and said, “Of course a daughter of your stature would never be short of suitors, but none of them are Brother Yan. Father, my feelings for Brother Yan are the same as how you felt for mother back then. Mother has passed away for so many years, and so many people have tried to persuade you to marry another, but you still refused, didn’t you? As your daughter, I naturally inherited your passion and persistence. Apart from Brother Yan, I don’t want anyone else.”
