Tong Qiao and Xu Dechang both looked at the stairs.
Aunt Zhou stood on the stairs and looked at them in shock.
Tong Qiao realized what she had just said and hurriedly explained, "Aunt Zhou, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that. I meant that Uncle Xu treats Ziqian like his own grandson. He's not his real grandson …"
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't misunderstand. He's not his real grandson." Xu Dechang agreed in a panic.
Aunt Zhou was shocked by Tong Qiao's words. The milk bottle in her hand fell down the stairs, but she was only stunned for a moment. If Tong Qiao and Xu Dechang's reactions were normal, she might not have taken it to heart.
However, the panic on their faces and their hurried explanations reminded Aunt Zhou of a saying, "An explanation is a cover up, and a cover up is the truth."
Aunt Zhou thought of the rumors when Lu Jinshen and Sheng Yufei got married. She also thought of Lu Ziqian's premature birth. Lu Meihua kept saying that Ziqian didn't look like a premature baby at all. It was all because she took good care of Sheng Yufei.
Actually, it wasn't because she took good care of Ziqian, but because Ziqian wasn't a premature baby.
Was Ziqian really Xu Dechang's grandson?
The more Aunt Zhou thought about it, the paler her face became. As a person in her fifties, she was anxious and agitated, so her blood pressure rose. When her blood pressure rose, she began to feel dizzy. She swayed and looked like she was going to fall down the stairs.
Tong Qiao was so scared that she ran toward the stairs. "Aunt Zhou, be careful."
Aunt Lin staggered back, her heel knocked on the stairs, and her whole body fell backward. Fortunately, she steadied herself in time and didn't fall straight down. Instead, she fell on her butt on the stairs.
Tong Qiao was scared out of her wits. She ran two steps at a time to Aunt Zhou's side and held her arm. "Aunt Zhou, are you okay?"
Aunt Zhou supported her waist with one hand. She was still dizzy from the blood rushing to her head. She frowned and shook her head.
"Did you hurt your waist?" Tong Qiao asked.
Aunt Lin said, "No, I'm dizzy, my butt hurts, and my waist is numb."
"Then can you stand on your own? I'll take you to the hospital. "
Auntie Lin tried to stand up, but when she exerted herself, she felt even dizzier. She held her forehead and said, "No, no, let me sit for a while."
Tong Qiao looked at Xu Dechang, who was in a daze in the living room. "Uncle Xu, call an ambulance for me."
"Don't call an ambulance. I'll be fine after sitting for a while." Aunt Lin waved her hand.
Tong Qiao looked at Aunt Lin's pale face and felt worried. She knew that the elderly didn't like to go to the hospital, so she said, "Aunt Lin, we have to go to the hospital. Don't you love An 'an the most? How will you take care of An 'an if you're sick? "
Auntie Lin thought of the little cutie who had fallen asleep after drinking milk upstairs and her heart softened. "Alright, I'll go and take a look."
About twenty minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Tong Qiao wanted to go to the hospital with them, but Aunt Lin refused. "You stay at home and take care of An 'an. The nanny will go with me."
"No, An 'an is asleep. The nanny will take care of him. I'll go with you." Tong Qiao was still worried.
"Listen to me, or I won't go." Aunt Lin was very insistent.
"I'll go with you to the hospital." Xu Dechang said to Tong Qiao, "You should stay at home and take care of the child."
In the end, Tong Qiao stayed at home. After watching the ambulance leave, she immediately took out her phone and called Ji Ji. "Aunt Lin's blood pressure is a little high. I have to take care of An 'an at home, so I can't leave, so I asked the ambulance to take her to the hospital. It's not a big problem. Don't report this to Lu Jinshen, lest he worries."
Ji Ji pretended to be ignorant. "Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. It's as if I know everything about your family. I'm not a know-it-all."
Tong Qiao was not in the mood to argue with Ji Ji. She only said, "I'm just telling you. I don't care whether you know it or not. Just promise me."
"Sister-in-law, since you've said so, I'll agree to anything."
Tong Qiao hung up the phone after Ji Ji agreed.
On the day Lu Jinshen left, Tong Qiao called Tong Wenbin to ask about Fang Shengtian's case.
Tong Wenbin said that Fang Shengtian was a local tyrant in the capital. He had been in the business for more than 20 years and had a deep foundation. The coverage of his business was also very wide. Moreover, he had connections with both the underworld and the underworld. The involvement was relatively large. This case was not only difficult but also very dangerous.
Recently, Lu Jinshen had been investigating Fang Shengtian and had taken down many of his underlings' drug dens and sex clubs …
It had seriously affected Fang Shengtian's interests. He was anxious. That was why he seized the opportunity to kill Lu Jinshen in the private room of the bar.
In fact, Fang Shengtian had done more than one such thing. He had also hurt the family members of several important officials in the army.
Of course, those who had hurt the family members of the officials were all arrested by Lu Jinshen and punished by the law.
However, this was not enough to scare Fang Shengtian. Perhaps he had already thought of sacrificing those people before he let them take action.
His purpose was to warn Lu Jinshen not to be too ruthless. Otherwise, he would not be someone to be trifled with.
Before Lu Jinshen left, he had arranged for Ji Ji to stay behind. Ji Ji said that Lu Jinshen had asked him to take good care of her. However, Tong Wenbin told Tong Qiao that Lu Jinshen had secretly arranged for many people to guard around the Lu family in plain clothes. Ji Ji stayed behind to be in charge of the Lu family's security.
Last night, Tong Qiao asked Lu Jinshen about the investigation of Abing's matter. He did not elaborate and changed the topic. She knew that he did not want her to worry, nor did he want her to feel that she was living in danger. He wanted to give her a stable life.
Tong Qiao liked such a responsible and responsible man. He silently supported his wife and children. This was a true man of indomitable spirit.
With Tong Qiao's character, once she fell in love, she would be dead set on it and would never change her mind.
Although Lu Jinshen's family had a lot of troubles, Lu Jinshen had always been by her side. As long as he treated her with sincerity, even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she would dare to go through it with him.
Lu Jinshen was wholeheartedly devoted to her. Naturally, she would not cause trouble for Lu Jinshen. She wanted him to investigate the case in A City without any worries.
Tong Qiao could sneak into Sheng Yufei's house and install a camera. However, she had asked Ji Ji to do it because she wanted to drag him down. He had done something illegal. Naturally, he did not dare to report Sheng Yufei's matter to Lu Jinshen.
Tong Qiao collected her thoughts and entered the living room. A woman's sobbing sound came from the dining room. The computer was still on. It was Sheng Yufei's voice.
Tong Qiao went to the dining room and sat down.
On the screen, Sheng Yufei knelt on the ground with Lu Ziqian in her arms. She could not stop crying.
Lu Ziqian opened his red eyes and patted Sheng Yufei's back gently. "Mom, don't cry."
Sheng Yufei let go of Lu Ziqian and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Ziqian, I only have you left. Only you. Don't leave me."
