Xiao Tiancai and Xiao Suning only knew what "sister" was, but did not understand what "brother-in-law" meant. However, they were both obedient children. When their sister said that they could not call Lu Zhe brother but should call him "brother-in-law", they nodded in agreement obediently.
Xiao Tiancai opened his mouth to call brother-in-law, but Su Ci covered his mouth.
The little guy's eyes widened.
"Speak softly, this is our secret, no one else can hear it." No matter how thick-skinned Su Ci was, she would not dare to be so arrogant in front of her parents.
Xiaotian understood, and he whispered to Lu Zhe quietly, "Brother-in-law."
Su Ci felt satisfied.
Little Suning followed suit, and like the little genius, he also called out in a baby voice, "Brother-in-law."
The young man standing next to Su Ci glanced at them quietly, his ears tips red under his short black hair.
"What are you doing standing at the door?" Su's mother sat down with Su's father and found that the children were still standing at the door.
Su Ci secretly rubbed the back of Lu Zhe's hand with her fingertips, then she walked inside with a smile.
Lu Zhe lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his black eyes.
There was an electric kettle in the hotel room, but the bottom of the kettle was full of scale. Lu Zhe didn't want to use such a kettle to boil water to entertain Su's father and mother, so he bought a few bottles of mineral water from the hotel.
Originally there were only two chairs in the room, and the other two were borrowed by Lu Zhe from Boss Fang.
Su's father and mother sat in one seat each, Su Ci sat in a chair near the floor-to-ceiling window, and the two little kids sat on the edge of the bed, their little heads put together, whispering something.
Lu Zhe walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Su Ci.
After all, Father Su was a man who had experienced a lot, and the shock in his heart had subsided. He looked at the young man Lu Zhe seriously.
That guy Lu Chen is so evil-looking, like a fox that can attract all kinds of people at any time.
Lu Zhe has regular eyebrows and a stiff, cold face. Apart from his facial features which bear some resemblance to Lu Chen, his eyes and temperament are completely different.
Father Su was conflicted.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, this place is rather simple. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality." The usually cold and calm boy became a little more reserved and nervous when facing Su Ci's parents.
Father Su waved his hands and said, "We don't care about these things. We came here today just to thank you for saving our lives. You saved me and my wife during the fire, and you also took care of my daughter before. We are all very grateful. You are the savior of the Su family. If you have anything you want, just ask."
Regardless of whether Lu Zhe is Lu Chen's son, this young man has done a great favor to the Su family, and he should indeed repay him well.
Lu Zhe glanced at Su Ci who was sitting in front of the French window. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Su, I don't want anything. I will help anyone who was at the fire scene at that time."
He never thought that the people he rescued were actually Su Ci's parents. After knowing this, he felt fortunate, but he never thought of using this as an excuse to repay the favor.
On the side, Su Ci was a little anxious. She kept winking at Lu Zhe. If her parents hadn't been there, she would have kicked Lu Zhe with her toes.
Stupid, her family has a lot of money, it's better for him to have some money than nothing.
Father Su had heard from his wife that the young man Lu Zhe had a good character, and he also noticed this. This was completely different from Lu Chen, who had a devilish face, many tricks, and was vicious. He had suffered several losses at the hands of Lu Chen.
"You don't ask for anything in return for your kindness, but we in the Su family will not fail to repay the favor we owe you." Father Su looked at Lu Zhe and said frankly, "Don't mind. When we found Xiaoci before, we had someone investigate your background and know your situation."
Lu Zhe listened quietly.
"We know you are an orphan and have ALS." Father Su did not use the business style of conversation, but the tone of an elder caring for the younger generation, "We can provide you with the best treatment."
Even if ALS cannot be cured, at least an excellent medical team can help Lu Zhe alleviate his condition.
Father Su continued, "And, if you want, we can help you find your biological parents."
Although he couldn't be sure whether Lu Zhe was Lu Chen's son, considering that Lu Zhe had saved the Su family's life, he could temporarily put aside his hostility towards Lu Chen, the fox, and investigate whether Lu Zhe was his son.
Hearing this, Lu Zhe shook his head, "Thank you, Uncle Su, thank you, Aunt Su, but I don't want to."
Su Ci was not surprised at all when she saw Lu Zhe refused Su's father's help in finding his relatives. After all, it was meaningless to find such parents after they were thrown into an orphanage. Of course, there might be some hidden secrets back then, but after so many years, it was no longer important.
When Father Su heard what Lu Zhe said, for some reason, he thought of Lu Chen again. If Lu Zhe was really Lu Chen's son and Lu Zhe didn't want to recognize his parents, he could laugh at the joke of that spotted fox.
Su's mother said, "We understand that you don't want to look for your parents, but we hope you won't refuse treatment. We have asked someone to contact the most authoritative experts in this area."
Lu Zhe pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Su Ci from the corner of his eyes, and agreed.
If the treatment was helpful, he hoped to spend more time with her.
Su's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this young man Lu Zhe seemed to have no desires and didn't want anything, so they had no idea how to repay him.
At this time, Su's father asked someone to bring up the thank-you gifts prepared in the car. These were all prepared by Su's mother. "Please accept these gifts. Don't refuse them. You saved us, so this is what you deserve."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Ci at the side also spoke up, her eyes half-closed, her tone threatening, "You must accept it."
Lu Zhe raised the corners of his lips and did not refuse again.
Soon, the originally small room was filled with gift boxes and gift bags.
Su's mother was more attentive. She smiled and said, "I heard from Cici that you will stay in City B. Have you found a place to live? If not, we can provide you with one."
A house is nothing to the Su family.
Lu Zhe refused to speak: "Thank you, Aunt Su, but I'm already looking for a house and will be able to decide soon."
Su's mother did not force him. "If you need any help from the Su family, just ask. As for the treatment, as soon as the experts arrive, I will have someone contact you as soon as possible."
Ever since her daughter told her that she liked Lu Zhe, whether out of selfishness or a desire to repay a favor, Su's mother hoped that the young man Lu Zhe would recover from his illness. Even if there was no cure, it would be good if the condition could be alleviated.
Lu Zhe: "Thank you."
Mr. Su was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. He has not fully recovered yet and cannot sit for a long time. He chatted with Lu Zhe casually for a few words and then prepared to leave.
He also needed to send someone to investigate Lu Zhe's background. Even if Lu Zhe didn't want to find his parents, he wanted to know whether Lu Zhe was the son of Lu Chen's fox.
Looking at her parents and two little kids walking in front, Su Ci deliberately slowed down her pace.
Su Ci was still in the room until they walked out. She turned around, stretched out her arms and climbed onto Lu Zhe's shoulders.
"Su Ci!" Lu Zhe was shocked by the girl's behavior. Her parents had just walked out of the door.
"Hush!" Su Ci winked at the boy, "Keep your voice down."
Lu Zhe reminded the girl, "It's time for you to leave."
Su Ci's dark eyes flashed with cunning, "Kiss me, and I'll leave soon."
Lu Zhe looked at the girl who was almost hanging on him, and then he realized that she was not only thick-skinned, but also very courageous.
He sighed, "When your parents come back and find you're not here, they'll come in to look for you."
Su Ci nodded, "I know, so hurry up." There was a wicked look in her eyes, "I put on lip gloss today, do my lips look better?" She put on lip gloss on purpose when she went out.
Lu Zhe knew nothing about lipsticks used by girls. His eyes fell on her lips, which were indeed a little different from her usual rosy lip color.
He responded, "Yeah."
Su Ci smiled and said, "Come on, try it. This lip gloss is peach flavored, with candy ingredients added to it. It's a little sweet."
What to taste
The girl was letting him taste her lips.
Lu Zhe knew the girl's temperament very well. If he didn't give her his way, she would do something bad.
The boy lowered his chin, and his cold thin lips fell on the girl's tangerine lips. Just as he got closer, he smelled a sweet scent of peaches as the girl said, and the girl's lips were softer than ripe peaches.
Lu Zhe just touched it lightly.
Su Ci was not satisfied, "You haven't even tasted it." She stood on tiptoe and offered it to him.
The sweet fragrance overflows between lips and teeth.
Su Ci was worried that her parents, who had already left, would not see her and would come back. After struggling with Lu Zhe for a few times, she left.
Hearing the boy's heavy breathing, Su Ci looked at him with bright eyes, "How does it taste?"
Her cosmetics, skin care products, and even lipsticks are all custom-made by Su's mother. The lip glazes are made of pure natural ingredients and it is okay to eat them once or twice.
The sweet scent of the girl's lips filled the tip of Lu Zhe's tongue. He looked at her deeply with his dark eyes, and the coldness in his voice was dispelled. "Very good."
Then, he put his lips close to the girl's ear, his breath was a little hot, "Tuantuan, you should go."
Su Ci's ears suddenly felt numb.
The door was closed.
Lu Zhe leaned against the door panel, taking a steady breath. He stretched out his fingers and touched his lips, only to see that his fingertips were touching the girl's tangerine-colored lip gloss.
Licking the corner of his lips, Lu Zhe's dark eyes showed a smile. The girl was getting bolder and bolder. One day, she would make herself cry.
After leaving Lu Zhe's room, Su Ci happened to meet her mother who came back to look for her.
Su Ci felt a surge of fear. It was a close call. She was almost caught on the spot.
" Mother."
She walked up to Su's mother and took her arm with a smile, and took the initiative to explain: "I had something to talk to Lu Zhe just now, so I came out late. I thought you and Dad had already left."
After Su's mother knew that her daughter liked Lu Zhe, how could she feel at ease letting her daughter be alone with Lu Zhe
She looked at her daughter and noticed that the lip gloss on her lips was gone.
If it was Su's father, he would definitely not notice such a small problem. However, Su's mother was different. As a woman, she was of course more likely to notice small problems in lip color and makeup, especially today when she saw her daughter deliberately change her lip color and praised her for looking good.
Su's mother is an experienced person, and even now, she and her husband still have a good relationship and are often intimate. How could she not know why her daughter's lip gloss was gone.
She met her daughter's smiling face, but her heart sank.
... ...
After returning to the Su family.
Father Su said to Mother Su: "The last time you mentioned to me that Lu Zhe looked like a person, do you still remember this?"
Su's mother walked over to her husband and sat down, "Yes, but I can't remember who he looks like." She always felt like she had seen him somewhere.
Father Su asked her, "Does she look like Lu Chen?"
Su's mother was stunned. Her husband suddenly mentioned this. She suddenly remembered that Lu Zhe's features looked exactly like Lu Chen's.
No wonder she always felt that Lu Zhe looked like someone. It turned out that he looked like Lu Chen, the head of the Lu family.
It's just that their temperaments are completely opposite. The young man Lu Zhe is relatively cold and quiet, while the head of the Lu family is rather moody, so she didn't associate the two together at all.
But her husband is different. He and Lu Chen have been sworn enemies since childhood, and they have always disliked each other.
The saying that the enemy is the person who knows you best is not without reason. The husband is familiar with Lu Chen, so he can tell at a glance that Lu Zhe looks like Lu Chen.
"Lu Zhe is an orphan, and Lu Chen's son was lost early. Could it be that Lu Zhe is Lu Chen's child?" Su's mother was shocked. How could it be such a coincidence
Father Su nodded, "It's very likely."
Even if he sent people to investigate, it would be of no use. After all, Lu Chen sent out so many people but failed to find the child.
"I plan to find out whether Lu Zhe is Lu Chen's child." Father Su told his wife, "Grandpa Qin is hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow. Lu Chen has been invited, and I plan to attend as well."
It doesn’t matter if he can’t find out the truth. As long as he gets Lu Chen’s hair at the banquet, he can do a paternity test and the result will be clear.
Many wealthy people were invited to Mr. Qin's 70th birthday party. The most popular ones were Lu Chen from the Lu family and Su Shengguo from the Su family. Both of them were the leaders of top wealthy families, and they disliked each other. It was like a fight between gods, and the younger ones like them might be able to watch the show.
Mr. Su attended the banquet with Mrs. Su. After so many years, their looks are still well maintained, and their temperament is even better than before.
Even though the Su family is famous for their stunning looks, the guests present still looked at Su's father and mother with envy. Not only was the man handsome and the woman pretty, but they didn't expect that after so many years, they were still so loving.
Unlike the Su family's couple, Lu Chen from the Lu family attended the banquet alone.
After so many years, it is not only Su's father and mother who have taken good care of themselves, but also Lu Chen.
Time has been extremely kind to this man, leaving no trace on his face at all. Not only is he handsome, he also has a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes. Whether when he was young or now, when people talk about the most enchanting man in City B, they will definitely think of Lu Chen. Back then, there were countless women who threw themselves at Lu Chen.
Now Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Father Su with his peach blossom eyes, and laughed out loud: "I heard that you almost died in the fire. I thought you were lying in the hospital and couldn't move. I didn't expect to see you today."
Father Su did not show any weakness, "I was born with a great destiny."
Lu Chen pulled the corner of his lips, "That's right, it's not easy to kill a person who has been causing trouble for thousands of years."
Father Su smiled and said, "Come to think of it, it's all thanks to the person who saved me. I think you should be interested in meeting my savior."
"Your brain hasn't been burned by fire, right? Why would I be interested in meeting the person who saved you?" Lu Chen looked lazy and sneered, "When I see him, I will scold him for meddling in other people's business and saving a disaster like you."
Father Su: "Even if you want to see me, I may not let you see me."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Who cares?"
"Flower Fox, you are a little angry tonight. Are you jealous that I have a wife by my side while you are alone?" Father Su knew where Lu Chen's pain point was and touched that spot directly.
After Lu Chen's son was lost, his wife Wen Ya had a falling out with him.
Lu Chen is a shameless person. The scene of him kneeling in the rain and begging his wife not to divorce him once shocked the whole city B.
The two did not divorce, but Wen Ya had been ignoring Lu Chen since their son was lost. Even though Lu Chen had the nerve to pursue his wife, he could not get a good response from his wife.
Every time Su's father attacked Lu Chen like this, he won every time.
Sure enough, Lu Chen's face turned black. He snorted heavily and passed by Su's father. When passing by, Lu Chen bumped into Su's father heavily.
"Sheng Guo, are you okay?" Su's mother quickly supported her husband. She was speechless about Lu Chen and her husband's childish behavior of quarreling every time they met and even wanting to fight.
Father Su looked at Lu Chen who walked away proudly. He stood up straight and said, "I'm fine."
He held out his hand to his wife, and on it was a strand of hair.
"Got it," he said with a smile.
"Whose hair?" Su's mother didn't react for a moment.
"It's that vixen Lu Chen." He was just thinking about how to get close to Lu Chen and get his hair, but he didn't expect the other party to bump into him on purpose, and a strand of Lu Chen's hair happened to be on the sleeve of his suit.
He knew Lu Chen. Lu Chen had a serious mysophobia. Apart from his wife, no one else would get close to him. Therefore, such a short hair must belong to Lu Chen.
When Mother Su heard what her husband said, she quickly reacted, "You want to use Lu Chen's hair and Lu Zhe's hair for a paternity test?"
Father Su rubbed his wife's head and said, "Xinxin is still so smart."
Su Mujiao glanced at him and said, "There are many people watching around."
Father Su laughed out loud, "Who dares to look?"
It was not enough to just get a hair from Lu Chen. He had already arranged people at the venue to keep an eye on Lu Chen and collect the cigarette butts thrown away by Lu Chen. All he needed to do next was to get a hair from Lu Zhe to do a paternity test.
... ...
In the past two days, Lu Zhe and Boss Fang worked separately. He was responsible for finding a house, and Boss Fang was responsible for finding an office space.
This is very efficient. Lu Zhe finally chose a community close to the suburbs. Although it is a bit far from the city center, the environment is good and even the greening in the community is well done.
Lu Zhe rented a house with two bedrooms and a living room, and Boss Fang rented the house opposite him, which also had two bedrooms and a living room. Both houses belonged to the same landlord and had been renovated and had been there for some time.
The furniture is very complete and you can just move in with your suitcase.
Lu Zhe and Boss Fang were eager to move in, and the landlord was straightforward. After receiving the deposit and rent, he handed the keys to them.
The house has two rooms, one of which has excellent lighting and ventilation.
Lu Zhe pulled two large suitcases into the room with good light. He wiped the wardrobe and then opened the suitcases.
It turned out that the two suitcases that Boss Fang had mistakenly thought Lu Zhe had moved all his belongings into were actually filled with beautiful clothes for girls.
Lu Zhe picked up the thin and soft skirt and hung it in the closet.
When only the pieces of underwear were left, Lu Zhe's ears turned red. He pursed his lips, folded the girl's underwear, and put it in the drawer of the wardrobe.
And his fingertips felt hot when they touched the soft fabric.
At night, Su Ci video-chatted with Lu Zhe. She knew that Lu Zhe had moved into the rented house.
"I want to go to your place and take a look." Su Ci lay on the bed. With the experience from last time, she did not deliberately wear a low-necked skirt this time.
"Come back after I tidy up the house." The room hasn't been tidied yet and is still a bit messy.
Su Ci's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go there the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Zhe curled his lips, "Yeah."
At this time, someone knocked on Su Ci's door.
"Wait a moment, I'll go open the door." Su Ci held her cell phone and lazily got up from the bed.
When she opened the door, she saw two short radish-heads standing at the door.
"Sister, here you go." Little Suning held a plate of sliced peaches in his hand.
"Ningning is so good, thank you." Su Ci touched his head.
The little genius next to him also held something in his hands, which were washed cherries. "Sister Ci, this is for you."
"Thank you, little genius." Su Ci also touched his head.
After the two little guys actively put the fruits into Su Ci's room, Su Ci squatted down in front of them with her phone in hand. She pointed the phone screen at the two of them and said, "Come, say hello to your brother-in-law."
Now that Su's father and mother are not around, Su Ci can do whatever she wants without restraint.
Xiao Tiancai and Xiao Suning looked at Lu Zhe on the phone screen curiously. Xiao Tiancai subconsciously called out, "Hello, Brother Lu Zhe."
Little Suning reminded him in a childish tone: "My sister said he is my brother-in-law."
"Yes, yes, Ningning has a really good memory." Su Ci's eyes curved with a smile, and she reached out and pinched her brother's chubby face.
You really make your sister proud!
Xiao Tiancai immediately corrected his mistake and shouted loudly, "Hello, brother-in-law."
Su Ci smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. She turned the screen towards herself, "Lu Zhe, they called you brother-in-law, didn't you say anything?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zhe's dark eyes couldn't hide the smile. He called out helplessly, "Tuantuan."
Su Ci valued her lover over her brother. She asked the two little brats to leave, lay back on the bed and continued chatting with Lu Zhe.
Mother Su was watching a play on the first floor. When she saw little Suning and little Tiancai coming down after completing their task, she smiled and asked, "Did you give all the fruits to your sister?"
"I gave it to you, I gave it to you." Little Suning stood up straight, looking very proud.
The little genius also nodded.
"What are you doing, sister?" Su's mother asked the two children to sit next to her.
Xiao Suning answered quickly, "My sister is chatting with her brother-in-law."
The little genius next to him reacted and said to Xiao Suning, "You can't tell others that Brother Lu Zhe is your brother-in-law. This is a secret between us and my sister."
Hearing the two children's childish words, Su's mother was stunned and her heart sank again. She knew that she could not continue to let it go.
... ...
The afternoon sun is very strong, and the scorching sunlight makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lu Zhe stood upright under the tree. A white luxury car stopped in front of him. The window was lowered, revealing a woman's well-maintained face.
The driver opened the door for Lu Zhe.
"Aunt Su." Lu Zhe got into the car and greeted Aunt Su politely.
Mother Su nodded and said, "The expert has arrived. I will take you to the hospital."
Lu Zhe: "Thank you for your help."
The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the door of the best hospital in the city.
Su's mother got out of the car and Lu Zhe followed behind her.
"Before we go for the checkup, I want to take you to a place first." Mother Su said to Lu Zhe, "Do you mind?"
Lu Zhe's dark eyes darkened. He shook his head and did not ask where they were going. He just followed behind Su's mother.
Soon, led by the bodyguards, Su's mother and Lu Zhe arrived at the inpatient department.
Going up to the fifth floor, Lu Zhe pursed his thin lips as he looked at the "ALS Area" marked in the corridor.
This floor is full of ALS patients, some of whom can only sit in wheelchairs, their bodies are shrunken and they have difficulty moving. Some of them can no longer walk, and even have difficulty breathing and eating. They can only lie in bed and rely on nutrient solution to maintain their lives.
Lu Zhe followed Su's mother calmly, passing by each patient ward.
At this time, Su's mother spoke: "Lu Zhe, Cici told me that she likes you."
She turned to look at the silent boy behind her. She looked a little reluctant, but still asked, "Do you like my daughter?"
