Lin Jinchi's face darkened. It was obvious that he did not expect Lu Huaijing to say that.
He subconsciously looked at Nan Yan beside him, asking for her opinion.
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, and the words that he should have refused directly suddenly choked on Gou Long's mouth.
Because, unexpectedly, Lu Shijiu's pure and innocent eyes flashed through her mind.
Suddenly I felt a little bit unbearable.
After a moment of silence, she finally nodded.
"I can try it if the cost is reasonable."
As soon as he finished speaking, even Lin Jinchi's expression changed.
He didn't seem to expect that Nan Yan would agree to this, but in the end, he respected Nan Yan's wishes.
Lu Huaijing curled up into a smile, clearly proud of himself.
"Of course, it's getting late today. Then please ask Miss Alina to come to Lu's tomorrow for talks?"
Nan Yan nodded, and the moment he turned around, he naturally took Lin Jinchi's arm.
The smile on Lu Huaijing's face disappeared instantly. This time, the smile moved to Lin Jinchi's face.
In the villa.
Nan Yan insisted on walking through the door, but the moment she entered, she suddenly relaxed.
She quickened her pace, walked to the table, and rummaged for the medicine.
Lin Jinchi just took one look and understood immediately. He quickly stepped forward and poured a glass of water for her.
Nan Yan took it with trembling fingers. It wasn't until the medicine began to take effect that he calmed down a little.
"What happened?"
Lin Jinchi asked in a low voice, looking at her eyes full of worry.
"I found Lu Weiyan, but I also learned some bad news."
Nan Yan slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Jinchi with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
"Lu Shijiu may not be Lu Huaijing's child at all..."
"What?"
Lin Jinchi was obviously shocked by the news. After a pause, he realized something and calmly analyzed:
"It should be impossible. The Lu family's children will undergo paternity testing as soon as they are born, especially Song Yihuan. Lu Huaijing is not that stupid-"
"As long as it's about Song Yihuan, he has no brain."
Nan Yan spoke sarcastically, and the words he said made Lin Jinchi almost laugh out loud.
"Nan Yan, no matter whether that child is Lu Huaijing's or not, it must be Song Yihuan's. Why are you..."
"Lu Huaijing has always suspected me. Moreover, he has been very cold towards Song Yihuan recently. I have no way to create a chance to meet him by chance, so I can only use this method."
In fact, Nan Yan had planned it from the beginning to have Zhou's mother call her when something happened.
Having been together day and night for three years, she knew Zhou Ma's temperament very well, and just a little trick was enough to make Zhou Ma trust her.
Lin Jinchi opened his mouth, with uncontrollable worry in his eyes.
"Nan Yan, you get stressed out whenever you see him lately. Are you sure you are in a state where you can face him directly?"
The corners of her mouth raised in self-mockery, and Nan Yan's charming face showed bitterness.
"Jin Chi, I know what you are worried about, but I have to take this step sooner or later. If I don't do it, I will be sorry to the mother and the child."
She has endured so much hardship in the past five years to get to where she is today, and she will never give up easily!
When Lin Jinchi saw this, he couldn't say anything more. He just whispered: "Okay, I understand. As long as it is something you decide, I will do my best to help you. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to Lu's. "
The next day.
Lu Group.
In five years, a turbulent company suddenly became the top presence in Nancheng.
Nan Yan changed into a pair of off-white casual clothes, with big slightly curled waves hanging softly behind her. She stepped on high heels and appeared in the lobby of the company with a graceful attitude.
With her bright and charming face and the handsome man beside her, she became the focus of the company as soon as she appeared.
A charity gala has already made the names of Lin Jinchi and Alina resound throughout Nancheng.
Therefore, as soon as they appeared, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Ji Li went downstairs to greet him personally, which made the surrounding employees talk a lot.
"Is she Alina? The future boss lady of Shang Hai?"
"Look, Mr. Lin really looks a lot like Mr. Lu!"
"Have you heard? Mr. Lin is actually from the Lu family. He seems to be the child of the old man's daughter..."
"Ah? Then aren't he and Mr. Lu just cousins?"
The rustling comments, without exception, all reached Nan Yan's ears.
Ji Li glanced over, and the gossips around him fell silent for an instant.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Sir is waiting for you upstairs. Please -"
The group of people got on the elevator, and the sightseeing elevator was enough to overlook the entire Nancheng at their feet.
In the past five years, this man has more than doubled the power of the Lu family by himself.
Inside the office.
Lu Huaijing was sitting in the executive chair processing company documents. When he opened the door, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Sir, Mr. Lin and Alina are here."
Ji Li explained it respectfully.
"Um……"
Lu Huaijing finally raised his eyes and said, "Sit down!"
Ji Li brought tea and closed the door.
The man pushed a document onto the table.
"Ms. Alina, this is the cooperation agreement I asked my lawyer to draft. You can take a look at it."
Nan Yan nodded and was about to pick up the document, but Lu Huaijing slapped the document down.
She paused and looked at him with frowning eyebrows: "Mr. Lu, is there any problem?"
The man spoke slowly:
"I heard that Miss Alina graduated from the University of California before. I am a little curious, who did you study under as a Chinese medicine practitioner?"
Nan Yan's heart tightened and she let go of her hand.
"If Mr. Lu doesn't believe me, you don't have to cooperate."
Lu Huaijing smiled faintly: "I wonder if you have ever heard of a saying that even if a person can change his appearance, his subconscious actions will never change?"
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be confused: "What Mr. Lu wants to express, you might as well say it directly——"
The man curled his lips, lowered his head, and then said: "Nothing, let's read the documents first!"
Nan Yan frowned. Although he didn't know what he meant, he still picked up the document, walked aside, lowered his head and read it carefully.
But Lin Jinchi, who was sitting not far away, stared at Lu Huaijing sharply.
It's just because this man's eyes have never left Nanyan since just now.
Worried that things had changed, Lin Jinchi took the lead and spoke: "I heard that my uncle is now helping in the company."
Lu Huaijing finally put away his gaze and looked at him knowingly.
"Mr. Lin knows a lot."
Lin Jinchi smiled loosely and said, "I'm just curious. I heard that during the years when Wei Yan disappeared, your uncle often made trouble for you in the company. Huai Jing, if you need help, you can come to me. After all, I was in the company before. Abroad, I still have a lot of contacts with my uncle."
