Chapter 763 A Conspiracy

In the next ward, there's a baby in an incubator. After a few days of oxidation, its skin has changed from the wrinkled, reddish complexion it had when it was first manufactured to its current fair and delicate appearance.

How much longer will he stay inside?

Lu Liang looked down, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

After all, he was his first son.

Although he often says he doesn't discriminate against girls and that having a son or a daughter is the same, people are just hypocritical creatures. At least with a boy, there's no need to worry about him being deceived by a blond guy in the future.

Lu Liang was already envisioning what it would be like for the siblings to meet in the future. The mothers could keep their distance from each other, but he hoped that the children would be able to play together.

The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department accompanied him personally throughout the process. Upon hearing Lu Liang's question, he quickly replied, "Mr. Lu, your son will be able to leave the incubator in nine hours."

"Is everything alright?" Lu Liang asked again.

The director said, "Your mother is in very good health, and your son is also healthy."

Lu Liang bowed his head, did not stay in the ward for long, greeted his mother-in-law, and went to the department director's office.

"How long does it take to get the results of a paternity test these days?" Lu Liang suddenly asked. The director was taken aback and quickly replied, "It takes at least half an hour."

Yihe Hospital is, after all, a high-end private maternity and child health hospital. The upper-class circles are often quite vulgar, so paternity testing is almost a must-do item at the hospital.

"How do we do it?" Lu Liang asked.

Half an hour after the blood was drawn, he received a paternity test report. Upon seeing the results, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Put it away."

Lu Liang turned around, handed the document to Xu Jiawei, greeted the director, and returned to Wang Chuting's ward.

Lu Liang sat on the chair at the head of the bed and asked with a smile, "Where's Auntie?"

“She wants to spend 18 hours a day with Junjun,” Wang Chuting said with a smile.

She asked curiously, "Did those Chinese medicine patches for rheumatism that you just gave my mother actually work?"

As children, we naturally hope that our parents are in good health.

Her childhood memories are already very blurry, but she still remembers one scene.

Under the scorching sun, my mother was working in the fields.

"Definitely." Lu Liang nodded. Although he didn't personally go to get the Chinese medicine, its effects were genuine.

Rheumatism and cardiovascular diseases are common ailments among the elderly. I happened to be chatting with Li Zhekai the other day, and we talked about how Li Ka-shing is over ninety years old and still so energetic.

As we chatted, the conversation turned to this topic. Although the key to Li Ka-shing's longevity is health preservation, conditioning, and abstinence, it is also closely related to the fact that he has no other minor health problems.

After all, as people get older, any minor ailment or pain can turn into a serious illness, so it's important to start taking care of minor ailments and pains from the beginning.

Thus, Lu Liang learned that there was a family of medicine kings in Hong Kong, and that Li Ka-shing and Yang Shoucheng often visited them.

So before returning from Hong Kong, Lu Liang asked Xu Jiawei to fetch more than a dozen different kinds of Chinese medicine to give to his parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and others.

"Thank you," Wang Chuting said softly. Lu Liang held her hand and said, "Your mother is my mother."

"But you just called her 'Auntie'."

"I forgot to change my address for a moment."

The two chatted until late at night, and Lu Liang talked about many things, including the plans after Tianxing settled in Hong Kong.

Wang Chuting is extremely intelligent; she is definitely one of the most capable and talented women Lu Liang has ever met.

A top student from Zhejiang University, with no family background, she has worked for Forbes for many years and has seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, yet she has managed to remain innocent, all for the sake of finding the perfect wealthy husband. After meeting Lu Liang, she was extremely proactive and confessed her feelings after only two meetings.

Any one of these qualities would be difficult for an ordinary woman to achieve, yet she possesses all of them.

If she weren't a woman, nor Lu Liang's woman, Lu Liang would definitely be very happy to train her, just like he trained Wen Chao.

But since things had come to this point, they could only let her go solo and start her own business, and not let her interfere in the company's affairs.

“You can’t ignore Wilson’s kind reminder,” Wang Chuting said.

"That's why I increased the number of security personnel around me," Lu Liang replied.

“That makes sense.” Wang Chuting frowned. “It’s just that I feel like it’s not targeting any individual.”

“You see, Wilson mentioned several times in his conversation with you that if you weren’t from the University of Tokyo, if you weren’t Chinese.”

Wang Chuting is a journalist, skilled at reading comprehension. What she means is that the responsibility of Dongda University is greater than that of Lu Liang personally.

Given the increasingly tense international situation, Wilson's well-intentioned reminder is very likely not directed at Lu Liang personally.

A conspiracy targeting Dongda University may be brewing quietly, and Lu Liang's existence is likely acting as a catalyst.

"Is there any basis for this?" Lu Liang frowned. Wang Chuting's words had given him a new perspective.

After all, Tianxing Financial has already established itself in Hong Kong and is taking shape. Even if we take it down now, it won't make a difference.

"It's just a feeling. You provided all the information, so what basis do I have?" Wang Chuting gave her a playful glare.

Lu Liang racked his brains for a long time, but the information from the future didn't reveal any clues. He sighed, "Let's talk about it later." He was used to it; if he couldn't figure something out, he would put it aside. Eventually, key information would come out, and then things would become clear.

"Please go out for a moment."

Wang Chuting suddenly frowned.

Lu Liang asked curiously, "Are you sleepy so soon?"

"No."

"what is that?"

"Don't ask too many questions about women's affairs."

"It's precisely because it's a woman's matter that men are so eager to know."

Lu Liang could tell that she wasn't in a particular hurry, which was why he was teasing her.

Wang Chuting blushed and glared at him fiercely: "Your breasts hurt, are you satisfied now?"

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, a defiant glint in her eyes: "Why don't you suck it clean?"

Lu Liang was taken aback, then suddenly showed a shy expression and coughed a few times: "Is it okay?"

"Get out of here!"

Enraged, Wang Chuting grabbed a pillow from behind her and smacked Lu Liang in the face.

"You really think I want to drink it? I just want to try it. Is it really necessary to be so stingy?"

Lu Liang hugged his pillow and left dejectedly.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

After saying goodbye to Wang Chuting, Lu Liang left Yihe Maternal and Child Health Hospital and arrived at Greentown Puwan in the city.

Lu Ya is celebrating her daughter's first birthday with her parents from her hometown.

That evening, a five-tiered cake was presented, and the little one, dressed in a princess dress, stood in front of it, imitating her mother making a wish.

Unlike Su Wanyu, the little one had her eyes wide open, filled with longing for the cake.

"Mom and Dad, this is some Chinese medicine I brought back from Hong Kong. You can brew it and drink it whenever you have time. Li Ka-shing is over ninety and still so vigorous. He drinks this every day to maintain his health."

Lu Liang instructed Xu Jiawei to take out the pre-packaged Chinese medicinal herbs and to drink the medicine three times a week, either to treat illness or to strengthen the body.

“We are in much better health than you think. Your dad used to have fatty liver, but now he goes up the mountain and down to the fields every day and it’s all gone.”

Hearing his mother's words, Lu Liang chuckled and recalled the New Year when his family spent it in a small cabin on the mountain.

Old Lu's life now is like that of an ancient hermit. He has leased several hilltops in his hometown, grows some grains and fruits and vegetables in front of his house, and is self-sufficient. Unless there is a major event, he basically does not go down the mountain.

The mother pulled Lu Liang aside and asked in a low voice, "I heard from Aya that Xiaoyu is pregnant again? Is it a boy or a girl this time?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a boy or a girl, why do you care so much?" Lu Liang said irritably, turning his head to look at Su Wanyu, only to see an unyielding sorrow between her brows.

Yesterday marked the seventh week, so this morning they went to the hospital and asked the department head, who said it seems to be another baby girl.

Although the doctor said that it might not be very accurate now and that it would be best to get tested again in a few weeks, it is actually already more than 90% accurate.

Upon learning this, Su Wanyu hugged Lu Liang and cried.

"Why do you care so much? Isn't she your granddaughter?" Old Lu understood the implication and scolded his wife.

"Mom and Dad, let's eat cake." Su Wanyu brought over the cake, trying her best to appear happy.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiaoyu." The couple accepted the gift with warm smiles on their faces.

It's indeed a pity that we didn't have a son.
However, it's not necessary to have a boy.

Lu Liang held the little one in his arms, his eyes still full of affection: "In the blink of an eye, Siqing is already a year old."

"Brother Liang, I'm thinking of having her learn piano in the future, what do you think?" Su Wanyu asked with a smile. Lu Liang's attitude made her feel much less pressured.

Lu Liang shook his head and said, "Let her play well until she's five. We can focus on cultivating her interest in something later."

“Her father is me, you know. All those other random things she learned are not as good as having a carefree and happy childhood.”

He hugged the little one and kissed his cheek: "Don't you think so?"

"Mmm." The little guy opened his big, innocent eyes.

She didn't understand, but nodded subconsciously.

 The next chapter will just be slice-of-life and that's it.

  A new chapter is about to begin.
