After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

The other end didn't reply immediately, but waited a few seconds before replying.

[Divided by person.]

Rong Zheng stared at those two words, slightly stunned.

Whether or not someone likes children depends on who the child is.

Is that what you mean?

So does he actually like Tangtang?

I've given him the gift twice already, and he even named it, so he must like it, right?

Tangtang has been here for a month, but Bai Yuxiu and Lu Yunshan have never come to see her.

The Lu family is not short of money, yet they, as the child's grandmother and great-grandfather, didn't even give Tangtang a full-month celebration gift, which shows that they don't care about Tangtang at all.

Tangtang will definitely not be valued in the Lu family in the future, and may even suffer grievances. However, if Tangtang can cling to Song Shiyan, her status in the Lu family will definitely rise.

It seems I should encourage Tangtang to get closer to this uncle in the future. When I send Tangtang's photos to Luo Qinghe, I should also send a copy to Song Shiyan.

Make Tangtang's presence felt in front of him more often, let him watch Tangtang grow up, and he will like Tangtang more and more.

Rong Zheng thought that with Song Shiyan as her strong backer, her daughter would surely grow up happily. Her previous depressed mood vanished instantly, and she became delighted.

Rong Zheng finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them."

In the evening, Zhao Yuxiang and Rong Jianguo arrived.

They gave Tangtang two small gold beads, strung together with red string. Although they weren't very valuable, they were a token of their affection, and Rong Zheng was very happy.

Zhao Yuxiang asked Rong Zheng, "What is the Lu family's celebration for Tangtang's one-month birthday?"

"Mom and Grandpa are probably too busy and forgot that Pei Chuan bought Tangtang an education fund worth five million, and Pei Chuan's uncle gave Tangtang a custom-made jade pendant."

"Five million?" Zhao Yuxiang's eyes widened, her face beaming with joy. "Pei Chuan really loves you. He didn't dislike you even though you gave birth to a daughter. You have to treat him well in the future and don't lose your temper with him for no reason."

Rong Zheng knew that Zhao Yuxiang was referring to the time when she had a major hemorrhage and got angry with Lu Peichuan. Was that something that happened or not?

But she knew her parents were very satisfied with the marriage to the Lu family, and they had a very positive view of Lu Peichuan. There was no point in saying anything more, so she just nodded and said, "Mm."

"Don't blame your mother-in-law and grandfather for not liking Tangtang. The Lu family has such a large fortune, they definitely need a boy to inherit it. You should take good care of yourself and give the Lu family a big, healthy boy as soon as possible. They will be happy then."

Rong Zheng remained silent.

Seeing that Rong Zheng didn't speak, Zhao Yuxiang reached out and poked her arm. "Did you hear me?"

Rong Zheng lowered her head and said, "I heard you."

Rong Jianguo tugged at Zhao Yuxiang's clothes and gave her a wink.

Remembering the important matter, Zhao Yuxiang asked Rong Zheng, "Have you told Pei Chuan about your brother's situation?"

Rong Zheng is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

She was adopted by Rong Jianguo and Zhao Yuxiang, a couple who had no children, when she was 7 years old. When she was 8, Zhao Yuxiang gave birth to a son, named Rong Xi, meaning to treasure like the emperor's jade seal.

Rong Xi is about to graduate. Zhao Yuxiang had previously told Rong Zheng to talk to Lu Peichuan so that Rong Xi could go directly to work at Lu's Group after graduation, and that he could arrange an easy and high-paying position.

Rong Zheng didn't want to use connections. She was already looked down upon by the Lu family because of her background, and Bai Yuxiu had long harbored resentment because Lu Peichuan had given Zhao Yuxiang and Rong Jianguo a lot of gifts.

If Rong Xi were to be brought into the company again, Bai Yuxiu would have no idea what nasty things she would say.

The key is that Rongxi has never liked studying since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he attended a two-year vocational college and graduated this summer.

No diploma, no skills.

How could she bring it up with Lu Peichuan?

"Mom, Rongxi is only 19 years old, he's still young. Why don't we send him to learn a skill so he'll have something to do in the future..."

"What's there to learn?" Zhao Yuxiang interrupted Rong Zheng impatiently. "Why would he choose to suffer when he has such a good brother-in-law? You know Xi'er doesn't like studying, yet you still make him study. You really don't care about your brother at all."

"Zhengzheng, it wasn't easy for your mother and me to raise you. Now that you're living a good life, you should help your younger brother," Rong Jianguo said.

"It's not that I don't want to help, but Lu's Group only hires top students, and Rong Xi didn't even go to a decent university..."

Zhao Yuxiang angrily interrupted Rong Zheng, "If he graduated from a prestigious university, would he need your help? Don't forget that we were the ones who raised you to be a medical doctor, and now you're looking down on Xi'er. You really have no conscience."

Rong Zheng felt a deep bitterness in her heart.

Since starting university, she has never asked her family for a penny. She achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination, her tuition was waived, and she pursued a combined bachelor's and doctoral degree. She earned her living expenses through part-time jobs.

Not only did she not ask her family for money, she also sent all her scholarship money home.

But she couldn't say these things.

If Zhao Yuxiang is mentioned, then she should be even more condemned for being heartless.

Rong Zheng sighed, "I will talk to Pei Chuan."

"Tell me quickly, Xi'er will be back in the next couple of days."

"understood."

After Zhao Yuxiang and the others left, Rong Zheng thought she should mention it to Lu Peichuan that evening; an easy, high-paying job was impossible.

Although Rong Xi is not good at studying, he is eloquent and adept at making friends with bad influences. With such a personality, he should be able to work in sales.

Let Lu Peichuan put him in the sales department and start him as a salesperson. As long as he is willing to learn, has someone to guide him, and can achieve good results, he has a great chance to move up.

The man who had promised to come back to be with her and her daughter that night was nowhere to be seen, so Rong Zheng waited until nine o'clock and sent Lu Peichuan a message: 【Is he coming back tonight?】

The reply came quickly this time: "[There's a problem with a project proposal that's needed tomorrow. I have to finish it tonight, so I won't be coming back. You and Tangtang should get some rest.]"

Actually, since Lu Peichuan hadn't come back this late, Rong Zheng probably guessed that he wouldn't return. Perhaps because she was mentally prepared, she wasn't too disappointed.

He replied with a simple "okay," then tossed his phone aside and stared blankly at the ceiling.

She thought, habit really is a terrible thing.

Lu Peichuan had never stayed out all night before, but lately he's been doing it frequently, and she seems to be slowly getting used to it.

However, he did keep his promise to reply to her messages promptly, which shows that he still cares about her.

Time flew by, and soon it was Rong Zheng's postpartum confinement day.

Lu Peichuan personally picked up Rong Zheng and her daughter and brought them home, and even arranged a celebration banquet at a hotel under the Lu Group.

All the prominent figures in Jiangcheng came, making the scene lively and festive.

Wearing an evening gown and high heels, Rong Zheng held a wine glass to greet the guests. As everyone congratulated her on the birth of her daughter, she smiled politely in response, her face almost stiff from smiling so much.

Rong Zheng actually disliked these kinds of occasions, but she knew that since she was married to Lu Peichuan, there were certain situations she had to help out.

Lu Peichuan was originally supposed to greet her together, but Manager Wang called a while ago, and he went to the lounge to answer the phone.

It's been twenty minutes already, how can a phone call take so long to answer?

As Rong Zheng wondered what was going on, she heard people talking in hushed tones beside her.

"No way, who would be so bold as to cause trouble in the lounge in a place like this?"

"I don't know, but I heard those ambiguous sounds very clearly."

Rong Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

lounge?

For some reason, she felt a little flustered. She put down her wine glass and quickly walked towards the lounge.
