Chapter 104 What is Liu Ruo’s identity?
Soon, the car stopped in front of the Lu family's door.
It was peaceful yesterday, but today it has turned into a ruin.
Overnight, not only the house was burned down, but also Lu Tang's last obsession.
"According to the investigation, the fire started at the curtains of the room by the window on the second floor. The fire originated from a lighter hidden in the curtains. After the lighter exploded, the curtains caught fire and eventually ignited the entire room."
"It's easy to see that this fire was caused by someone. Aside from the lighter that was deliberately hidden, all the valuables in the house had been taken out. We also found gasoline residue on the ground."
Lu Tang stood outside the villa, listening to the clues collected by the police.
Everyone knows who the suspect is.
"Have you found the person?" Ji Shengzhou stood beside Lu Tang and put the coat in his hand on her shoulders.
Officer Li shook his head. "They left on a flight to Europe before ten o'clock last night."
It was less than ten o'clock, the time when Lu Tang finished signing and came out of the room.
"Let's go back."
The wind outside was cold, and Ji Shengzhou helped her back to the car.
No matter what happened, she still had the entire Lu Group on her shoulders, so she had no chance to relax.
What's more, the European Designer Competition will start next week, and she will participate as a representative of the Lu Group.
There was no time for her to breathe.
When Aunt Rong heard that she had come to the company, she came to find her immediately.
Guessing that Lu Tang hadn't eaten much these days, she specially made some soup and brought it to the company in a thermos.
"Xiaotang, when you were a child you loved the carrot soup I made the most. I guess you haven't eaten well these days." Aunt Rong opened the thermos bucket and placed the food in front of her one by one.
Lu Tang, who had been in a tense state these days, finally smiled.
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it to her mouth.
The taste was the same as before, but for some reason, she couldn't taste it?
"Is it delicious?" Aunt Rong looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Lu Tang finally nodded: "It's delicious."
Aunt Rong still had work to do, so she just watched Lu Tang eat a few bites and then left.
The sound of the door closing was heard, and suddenly, I felt nauseous, and my stomach churned, as if all the tastes just now came up to me.
Lu Tang frowned and quickly went to the bathroom to vomit.
After vomiting, her face turned pale. Looking at herself in the mirror, she looked so haggard that even she could hardly recognize herself.
Lu Tang came out of the bathroom, his eyes fell on the remaining food, and the feeling just now came back to him.
She retched a few more times in the bathroom.
Then he called an assistant, cleaned up the dishes on the table, and sprayed deodorant several times.
Faced with the sudden discomfort, Lu Tang didn't take it too seriously.
It was not until the afternoon that the young assistant knocked on the door.
Her assistant is a newly graduated girl who does everything carefully and efficiently.
I rarely take the initiative to disturb her.
"Come in and tell me what's wrong." Lu Tang put down the documents in his hand and looked up at her.
The assistant was a little embarrassed: "Boss Tang, I'm on my period, but I don't have any sanitary napkins. Do you have any? Can you lend me two?"
Lu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something had happened in the company.
She opened the drawer and took out a package and handed it to her.
The assistant simply said a few thanks and left.
Lu Tang turned her gaze back to the computer and looked at the date in the lower right corner. Her heart trembled.
It has been two months since her last period.
Recalling the vomiting reaction when eating in the morning, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Lu Tang's forehead.
Last month at Yuanshan Villa, it seemed like she really didn't take any measures...once.
She panicked.
Before finishing the work on the computer, Lu Tang took her bag and went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy a pregnancy test stick.
When she took out her mobile phone to pay, she found the WeChat message Ji Shengzhou sent her.
Ji Shengzhou: Let's go to Yuanshan Villa tonight. I'll pick you up at the company.
Ji Shengzhou wanted her to go there, and there was no need to say why.
She was just thinking about how to refuse when Gu Peisi came towards her from outside the door.
"Xiaotang? Why are you here? Are you sick?"
Lu Tang was stunned and quickly hid the pregnancy test stick on the checkout counter in her bag: "How much?"
The staff set the price, and Lu Tang scanned the code and quickly walked out of the ward.
She turned away from Gu Peisi's gaze and made up an excuse: "I'm not sick. The season is about to change, and I plan to add some cold medicine to the company's tea room."
"Brother Pei Si, why are you here?" Lu Tang deliberately changed the subject.
Gu Peisi pointed to the coffee shop in front: "I've finished my work, I'm going to have a cup of coffee, want to join me?"
Lu Tang didn't want to go at first, but she had already bought the pregnancy test stick and wanted to get an answer quickly.
But when she thought about how Liu Ruo appeared at the auction yesterday, and when something happened, he happened to appear in front of her and sent her back to the Lu family.
All this was such a coincidence that Lu Tang couldn't help but wonder who Liu Ruo was.
Gu Peisi has lived in Europe for more than 20 years, so he can be considered half a member of the Ji family.
Lu Tang went to the cafe with him with a try-it attitude.
"One hot Americano and one latte, thank you." Gu Peisi put down the menu in his hand, and a perfect smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that our boss is quite considerate of his employees. He has the same style as me back then."
Lu Tang took a sip of his coffee and said, "Brother Pei Si, have you ever dealt with the Liu family in Europe?"
Gu Peisi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm? Why do you ask?"
"More than 20 years ago, the Liu family was doing well in the capital, but suddenly they abandoned everything and went to Europe. I want to know what happened in between." Lu Tang asked directly.
Gu Peisi was stunned, obviously not expecting her to ask that.
"Why are you asking this? Is it because... Liu Ruo?"
Lu Tang nodded.
"Why are you asking about Liu Ruo? Because of Ji Shengzhou?" He asked tentatively, "Xiao Tang, do you still have him in your heart?"
Lu Tang shook his head: "No."
She didn't say whether these two words answered the former or the latter question.
Gu Peisi smiled faintly: "I don't know the answer to this question either. It was more than 20 years ago when I was only in elementary school. I can't remember many things clearly."
"but...."
Lu Tang was ready to get no answer, but two words pulled her back: "But what?"
"But later I only heard that the Liu family moved all their belongings to Europe, leaving only their youngest daughter."
"The youngest daughter?" Lu Tang's brows were knitted together, and the doubt on his face became more and more serious.
"After the Liu family moved away, the Lu family rose, and the Ji family followed suit. But within three years, the Lu family declined, and you see what you see now." Gu Peisi continued.
Twenty years have passed. What happened in the meantime?
Who is the youngest daughter of the Liu family and where is she now?
