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

"What? What happened to Tangtang? Why would someone so young need surgery?" Luo Qinghe's voice was urgent and filled with panic.

Rong Zheng let out a soft breath, composed herself, and explained the general situation to Luo Qinghe.

Luo Qinghe was so angry that she cursed, "Has Lu Peichuan been kicked in the head by a donkey? His own daughter is having surgery, and he's here watching over someone else's son. No way, I have to go and ask him. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I'm not done with him today."

"Wait a minute." Seeing that Xu Ma was nearby and it was inconvenient for her to speak, Rong Zheng got up and walked to the window before continuing, "Don't go to him. He's not a doctor, he can't solve the problem even if he comes."

"But he's Tangtang's father. It's one thing for him to betray you, but he doesn't even care about Tangtang! You can swallow this, but I can't!"

"I couldn't find any evidence that he was neglecting Tangtang, and now I have it! Right now, I only care about Tangtang and don't have time to deal with him. Once Tangtang's condition stabilizes, I'll divorce him."

Luo Qinghe was also furious, but after Rong Zheng said that, she quickly calmed down. "You're right, I was too impulsive. Leave this to me. I'll find more eyewitnesses, and then he won't be able to defend himself."

"it is good."

Rong Zheng hung up the phone, went to the operating room door, looked through the small window in the door but couldn't see anything, so she went back to sit on the waiting chair.

Time passed slowly, and she had never felt time go by so slowly; every moment of waiting was agonizing.

I don't know how much time passed before the operating room door opened.

Rong Zheng immediately went over. "Doctor, how is my daughter?"

Doctor: "The surgery went smoothly. The child is now waiting in the operating room for postoperative recovery. He will be transferred to the ward in another half hour."

Rong Zheng finally felt relieved. "Thank you for your hard work."

The doctor nodded and turned to enter the operating room.

Xu Ma was relieved and looked at Rong Zheng, saying, "Madam, you haven't eaten yet. I'll go back and make you something to eat and bring it over, and also pack some clothes and daily necessities for you and Miss."

Rong Zheng nodded. She had left in a hurry and hadn't brought anything with her. Tangtang would need to be hospitalized after her surgery, so preparations were indeed necessary.

Not long after Aunt Xu left, a series of steady and powerful footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Rong Zheng looked up and was surprised to see Song Shiyan.

The man was wearing a smoky gray shirt, and his impeccably tailored trousers, without a single wrinkle, hugged his excessively long legs. He walked towards them with his thin lips pursed, and his cold, handsome brows hinted at a worldly air about him.

Fang Zheng, who had called her not long ago, followed behind him.

Weren't they in Beijing? When did they come to Jiangcheng?

Rong Zheng stood up, surprised, and asked, "Big brother, what brings you here?"

Song Shiyan spoke calmly, "I'm in Jiangcheng on business."

Rong Zheng instantly understood that Fang Zheng must have heard Tangtang was sick on the phone and told Song Shiyan. However, she had been on the phone with Fang Zheng for almost two hours. Since they were in Jiangcheng, why did it take them so long to come over?

The next moment, she immediately understood. Tangtang was just Song Shiyan's niece in name only, with no blood relation to him. He was busy with many things, and it was already very kind of him to take the time to visit Tangtang after finishing his work.

Song Shiyan gestured towards the operating room. "How did the surgery go?"

"The surgery went smoothly, and now we are waiting for postoperative recovery."

Song Shiyan nodded, glanced around, and seeing that Rong Zheng was alone, asked, "Where's Pei Chuan?"

Rong Zheng lowered her eyes slightly. "I can't get through to him on his phone. He must be busy."

Song Shiyan frowned slightly, took out his phone and dialed Lu Peichuan's number. The phone rang several times before the other end answered, "Big brother."

"Where are you?" Song Shiyan's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

Rong Zheng couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Was he not answering her calls because he was afraid she would disturb him and Su Qingya and her son?

He dared not ignore Song Shiyan's call, because he couldn't afford to offend him.

Lu Peichuan, how many more sides of you are there that I haven't seen?

"Is there something you need from me while I was out discussing a collaboration?" Lu Peichuan asked, his tone filled with awe.

"Rong Zheng and Tang Tang are at the hospital."

"What happened to them? Why did they go to the hospital?" Lu Peichuan asked anxiously.

Song Shiyan's stern brows furrowed slightly. Without arguing, he coldly uttered a few words, "Peking Union Medical College Hospital, come over immediately," and then hung up the phone.

Rong Zheng didn't know what Lu Peichuan said, but she heard Song Shiyan's words. There were three sentences in total, which were concise and to the point, with not a single word of nonsense. He acted decisively and swiftly.

If someone like that interferes in the Lu family's affairs and helps Lu Peichuan, she always felt that even if she had evidence, she might not have a chance of winning.

Therefore, she must not let him know that she wants to divorce Lu Peichuan before the divorce is finalized.

Thinking of this, Rong Zheng looked up at Song Shiyan, her expression revealing the virtue of a good wife and mother, "Big brother, it's okay, Pei Chuan must be too busy. He works to give me and Tangtang a better life, I can understand."

Song Shiyan pursed his lips and looked at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng felt uncomfortable under his gaze. The man's eyes were deep and dark, mysterious and unpredictable, and his emotions were hidden so well that it was impossible to guess what he meant.

She asked tentatively, "Brother, did I say something wrong?"

Song Shiyan's gaze was calm. "Excessive tolerance is not understanding, it is indulgence."

Rong Zheng was surprised by Song Shiyan's words. Last time she had a major hemorrhage, he felt that Lu Peichuan, as her husband, had failed in his duty and punished Lu Peichuan by making him kneel in the ancestral hall without knowing the reason.

Now that Tangtang is having surgery and Lu Peichuan isn't around, she says she understands, but he thinks it's indulgence.

This man has really sound values.

Perhaps if he knew Lu Peichuan was cheating on him, he would support their divorce?

No, no.

He was an adopted son of the Lu family, who raised him for 13 years. Their kindness in raising him was greater than heaven.

To him, she was just an insignificant outsider.

The reason he speaks to her now is because she is Lu Peichuan's wife.

Without this relationship, she is nothing in his eyes.

He would never allow himself to have a falling out with the Lu family for her sake.

Rong Zheng quickly regained her senses. "I've remembered what you said, brother."

Song Shiyan nodded slightly, as if remembering something, "I just came over and heard people talking about Tangtang's background."

Rong Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Did he come from the laboratory?

Does he know Tangtang's blood type?

She also learned that Tangtang's blood type was completely different from hers and Lu Peichuan's.

He knew all along?

Perhaps he only heard a few words and didn't know the whole story; she couldn't afford to panic.

Rong Zheng clenched her fingers, trying to calm herself, her voice tinged with a hint of relief, "What are they talking about?"

Song Shiyan's deep gaze swept over Rong Zheng's clenched, white fingers before landing on her face. After a two-second silence, he said, "Tangtang is not Pei Chuan's child."
