1858 Big Boss
Su Bei looked at his pink skin and sighed. “I don’t see your face turning yellow from eating hotpot every day.”
“How is it this time? Is it as tough as the last time you got pregnant?”
“You should try it yourself! Not only is your body heavy, but you can’t eat hotpot and drink Coke as much as you want.”
Lin Yu smiled and stroked her hair. “Bear with it. I’ll bring you to eat those things later.”
Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him, and a sharp gaze landed on him. Lin Yu hurriedly put down his hand. His desire to live exploded. “It’s better to eat light-tasting food for now.”
Sure enough, Su Bei saw Lu Heting walking over.
“Mr. Lu, I have something to ask you. Can I talk to you alone?” Lin Yu stood up.
Su Bei looked at him. When did they become so close?
Then she thought of something and thoughtfully watched them enter the study.
When Lin Yu came out, he teased Su Bei for a while before leaving.
Su Bei pulled Lu Heting and asked, “What did Lin Stone ask you? Is it about his background?”
“Yes.” Lu Heting didn’t hide it. “The children that Feng Ze saved previously have been properly settled. After Ghost died, a group of children was saved and needed to be resettled. Lin Yu came to ask about his own personal information.”
“So what’s his situation?”
“Do you know Zhou Cheng, the rich businessman in Jingdu City?”
“Is Lin Stone from his family?”
Lu Heting nodded. “Lin Yu is his son. Back then, Zhou Cheng had a mistress and planned to divorce his first wife. However, Lin Yu’s mother refused to get a divorce. Zhou Cheng was in a terrible fix and was struggling to cope. The mistress used some tricks and got the driver to take Lin Yu out to play. She deliberately left the child behind, and they couldn’t find the child after that. Lin Yu’s mother suffered a huge blow and went out to look for the child every day. She mistakenly thought that Lin Yu was in a car. When she chased after him, she was accidentally knocked down by another car and died.
“The mistress was pregnant, and later on, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Zhou Cheng indulged her and pretended that nothing had happened.”
“That mistress is really ruthless. Zhou Cheng also helped the evildoer. He’s not worthy of being a father!”
No wonder Lin Yu’s complexion wasn’t as good when he came out.
“Actually, Feng Ze had already found out about it, but he didn’t tell him. Lin Yu came to me this time to verify it. I thought that he’d find out sooner or later, so I might as well tell him directly.”
Su Bei nodded. “It’s good to tell him. On the surface, Lin Stone doesn’t care about anything, but once he’s determined, he’ll definitely pursue the matter to the end. I’m just worried that if it concerns his mother’s life and death, he’ll do something stupid.”
“I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Su Bei felt uncomfortable. “What about my fourth sister’s background?”
“Hua Cuo’s situation is relatively simple. She was indeed accidentally lost by an irresponsible nanny. Her original family is well-off and has a harmonious relationship. Whether she wants to return to her original family depends on her.”
Su Bei patted her chest. “That’s better.”
She had heard too many stories about families being ruined. She was afraid of there being another instance.
“What about the other children?” she asked.
“Some of the children went missing on their own or were sold to Ghost by traffickers. Some of them were stolen by Ghost after he found out that they were talented. A small number of them were killed by Ghost’s parents, and he snatched the children away. The ones from overseas have already been handed over to the police of the corresponding country to deal with. The police in the country are doing DNA comparisons and contacting the corresponding families.”
The police would try their best to help these people find their parents.
“If their families really can’t be found, or if their parents are gone, they’ll be sent to an orphanage. This time, Lu Group has used its own funds to rebuild the orphanage. The dean, teachers, and other corresponding personnel of the orphanage will undergo strict selection and assessment.”
Su Bei nodded. Lu Heting had indeed arranged everything well.
“Then take me with you the next time you go to the orphanage. I want to see it too.”
Lu Heting was worried about her stomach, but knowing what the orphanage meant to her, he nodded readily. “I’ll get Lu Hang to make arrangements.”
After a few days, Lu Heting accompanied Su Bei to the new orphanage.
The venue was still where Su Bei and the others had lived. Because the foundation could no longer be expanded, it was specially built into an apartment that could accommodate more children. There were dedicated floors for playing, reading rooms, science rooms, classrooms, and so on.
She could see Lu Heting’s sincere intentions.
When Su Bei first came here, she was only two years old and could not remember many things.
This place might be a nightmare for many people, but for her, there was no lack of luck.
Ghost was hateful, but the people she met were all angels.
She stood under an already tall apple tree and looked at the blooming flowers. She remembered that when she first came, she seemed to have stood under this tree and cried. However, these flowers made her feel better later on.
A worker was tidying up the lawn at the side and said, “This apple tree is the only thing that’s in the way here. I heard that the designers racked their brains to keep this tree. They used all kinds of modifications to make the entire orphanage have a new structure while still keeping this tree.”
“It’s already so old. What’s the point of having it remain here? Wouldn’t it be better to cut it down?”
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense! It’s said that this tree was specially left behind by the big boss. Maybe it has something to do with feng shui. Don’t have any ideas.”
“I know, I know. We have to be careful.”
Su Bei turned around and looked at Lu Heting. “The big boss?”
Lu Heting lowered his eyes and smiled.
Su Bei interlocked her fingers with his and held them carefully.
Su Bei was in the middle of her pregnancy, and she was in good health. The doctor said that she was doing well in all aspects.
She couldn’t stay idle, so she attended a few events, took on a few commercials, and participated in a few personal interviews.
She was still slender. Although it was obvious that she was pregnant, her stomach was not too big. Every time she went out, she wore clothes that specially covered her stomach, so there was no news about her pregnancy.
Qiao Mei was worried that she would be criticized by Mr. Lu, so she finally calmed down.
Soon, Su Bei’s due date was almost up.
Old Madam Lu was already burning incense at home and praying to Bodhisattva to bless Su Bei and her daughter.
As for why everyone thought Su Bei was having a daughter?
It was because Su Bei always said that, so everyone followed suit.
Lu Heting’s anxiety started again. He had been having dark circles under his eyes for the past few days.
