Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 117 The mystery of her origins will finally be revealed.
Qiu Hezhou was surprised that Lu Zhiyan wouldn't even let him finish speaking.

Left with no other choice, Qiu Hezhou took out his phone and made a call.

Lin Jingshu, who was at the Lin family's old house, was watching TV and eating snacks when her phone rang. She answered it without even glancing at it.

"Hello, who is this?" Lin Jingshu picked up a tissue from the table and wiped her fingers.

Lu Zhiyan heard the familiar voice and glanced at Qiu Hezhou.

Is it true?
But if it's true, then what about Nanshan?
Qiu Hezhou raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhiyan, as if to say, "See? I've already told you I am."

There was no sound from the other end of the phone, so Lin Jingshu tentatively said another sentence.

"Hello?"

Qiu Hezhou breathed a sigh of relief. "It's me."

The voice was so familiar that Lin Jingshu immediately recognized it.

"Why is it you? Didn't I tell you not to bother me and A Ning?" Lin Jingshu said irritably.

Lu Zhiyan seemed to have heard something incredible, and he looked more like a toy with nowhere to go.

Is it okay for him to hear about his future mother-in-law's secret love history?

"I'm with Lu Zhiyan right now," Qiu Hezhou said softly.

He wasn't sure either; he knew that if Lin Jingshu came to see Lu Zhiyan, she would definitely be very angry.

But Nanxu is also his daughter. It's not unreasonable for her to meet her future son-in-law, is it?

He casually reminded him of something, since Lu Zhiyan hadn't let him finish speaking before rushing him to leave.

He had no other choice.

Lin Jingshu was furious when she heard this.

"Are you crazy? What right do you have to go to him? Do you even deserve it?" Lin Jingshu was furious and extremely angry.

What she's worried about right now isn't that Lu Zhiyan will find out about her relationship with Qiu Hezhou.

She wasn't afraid that Lu Zhiyan would find out about this; she was afraid that Nan Xu wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Wait here, I'm going to the Lu family right now!" He then hung up the phone.

Lu Zhiyan and Qiu Hezhou looked at each other, Lu Zhiyan touching the tip of his nose, unsure of how to address him.

"In that case, why don't you sit here and wait for a while?" Lu Zhiyan also sat down on the sofa next to him.

There was too much information at once; he needed to sort it out for a while.

Not long after I sat down, Secretary Li came up with coffee and security guards.

"Mr. Lu, coffee." Secretary Li placed the coffee on the table first, then ordered the two security guards behind her.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take this person away."

As soon as he finished speaking, two security guards prepared to step forward.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyan interrupted in time, saying, "No need, you can go out first."

"Yes, Mr. Lu," Secretary Li said with a smile, but then realized something was amiss and asked in confusion, "Huh? Huh?"

The two security guards also looked at Lu Zhiyan with puzzled expressions.

Lu Zhiyan gave Secretary Li a look, and Secretary Li understood instantly.

He gestured for the two security guards to leave, and they went out.

Just as Secretary Li was about to leave, Lu Zhiyan called her back.

"When Aunt Lin comes later, don't stop her. Just let her come up directly." Then he glanced at Qiu Hezhou sitting opposite him.

"Prepare two more cups of coffee and bring them in."

Secretary Li cautiously raised her eyes and glanced at Qiu Hezhou with suspicion.

Weren't we just trying to get rid of them? Why are we preparing a cup of coffee now?
Although that was what he thought, he still agreed and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu."

Half an hour later, Lin Jingshu kicked open the office door with murderous intent.

Lu Zhiyan's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at the murderous Lin Jingshu.

Whether it was because she was angry or because she came in a hurry, Lin Jingshu's coat was a little wrinkled.

Seeing this scene that resembled a battlefield, Lu Zhiyan wisely decided to leave.

"Then I'll head out first, Auntie." Lu Zhiyan stood up, making a move to leave.

Lin Jingshu closed the door and waved her hand, "No need, you can just listen here."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hezhou frowned imperceptibly. What right did a junior like him have to listen to the elders' gossip?
Lin Jingshu looked at Qiu Hezhou and snorted coldly.

She kept Lu Zhiyan around so he could hear clearly and explain things to Nan Xu later. She couldn't possibly accept Qiu Hezhou as her unfaithful father.

Lu Zhiyan had no choice but to sit back down.

Lin Jingshu put her bag on the sofa and looked at Qiu Hezhou sitting opposite her with an arrogant expression.

"You completely ignored everything I told you in America?"

The first thing they did was to interrogate him, and Qiu Hezhou knew he was in the wrong and couldn't offer any excuses.

“Jing Shu, I know I wronged you back then. We can talk about this in private. Why make a fool of ourselves in front of the younger generation?”

As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally brought up Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan had already brought the coffee to his lips when his eyes darkened.

Is this something he wants to hear? Who told you not to find a better place and insist on coming here?

Besides, it was Lin Jingshu who allowed him to stay.

Why is he being implied?

"I asked him to stay, are you implying that I am?" Lin Jingshu's words were sharp and to the point, piercing Qiu Hezhou's heart.

Now it was Qiu Hezhou's turn to be speechless.

How dare he criticize Lin Jingshu?

"Tell me, why did you return to China? And why did you come to find Zhiyan?"

“I know Ah-Xu and he have already met each other’s parents, so I wanted to come and see.”

"Look? What does it have to do with you? Nanxu only has a mother, and her only father died not long ago."

"As for you, what status do you have to meet Zhiyan?"

Qiu Hezhou sighed and tried to reason with Lin Jingshu.

“I know I was a bastard back then, but no matter what, I am Nanxu’s biological father. What’s wrong with just wanting to meet her future husband?”

Whenever the events of that year are mentioned, Lin Jingshu becomes like a firecracker that explodes at the slightest provocation.

"How dare you bring up what happened back then? You were the one who abandoned me, and you made me endure the scorn and condemnation from the Nan family. Do you know how much I suffered?"

"Now you want to be a cheap dad? You've got a good idea, but don't you even know if you're worthy?" Lin Jingshu's words were full of sarcasm.

After saying that, he glanced at Qiu Hezhou with disdain, his eyes full of sarcasm and ridicule.

"You." Qiu Hezhou couldn't help but stand up and point at Lin Jingshu.

Lin Jingshu hates it when people point at her, and her tone became even more aggressive.

"What are you pointing at? What did I say wrong? You didn't raise her, and now that you have no children of your own, you're rushing to claim kinship?"

"Can't you speak properly? Don't speak with such veiled barbs."

Qiu Hezhou felt a little tired. So many years had passed, and Lin Jingshu seemed to have lost her former gentleness and grace.

"What else can I say? What do you expect me to say? Should I thank you for coming back to acknowledge this daughter?"

"Let me tell you, Nanxu has absolutely nothing to do with you. At most, you just provided a sperm."

"You! There are other people here, can't you watch your mouth!"

Qiu Hezhou was so angry by those words that he became somewhat incoherent.

Lin Jingshu rolled her eyes, completely unconcerned.

Lu Zhiyan was utterly shocked by these words.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; however, the way they've been said is just too rough.

Lu Zhiyan glanced at his watch; time was almost up.

He wanted to speak up and remind Lin Jingshu.

"Auntie, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Hezhou interrupted him.

"I can compensate you and your daughter. Just tell me how you want me to compensate you," Qiu Hezhou said kindly.

"Compensation? Who needs your pittance? Who are you trying to insult?"
