Looking at the tightly shut door in front of him, Lu Jinwen's body stiffened.
It had been many years.
It had been many years since he had been locked outside the door.
No one had dared to lock him outside the door in his entire life, except for … Lin Xuanji.
He couldn't even remember how many times she had locked him outside the door. Every night he went, she wouldn't even want to see him and would lock the door from the inside. He didn't feel annoyed at all, he would just knock on the door over and over again, and when the door wouldn't open, he would pry it open.
Actually, he could have gotten a locksmith to open it in a few seconds, but he hadn't thought of it at that time. He had taken the tools to pry the door open himself and broke it.
Hence, all the servants knew that the door had to be replaced every day. Don't think that he didn't know, those servants were gossiping about him, saying that he had trained himself to be a locksmith.
He was so angry. Every time the door was pried open, he would kick the door open and there would always be a bunch of things waiting for him inside. Pillows, table lamps … everything would be thrown at him.
He kicked everything away, dashed over and pinned her down on the bed, the sofa, the study table, the washstand …
He flipped her over and spanked her bottom, always making her cry.
He had ways to deal with her.
It had been many years, many years since he had been locked outside the door.
He hadn't expected to be locked outside the door again today.
He placed his large palm on the doorknob, wanting to twist the door open. This daughter was so daring, she dared to lock him up even though she wanted to.
He was her Daddy!
Soon after, there was a loud thud. He didn't know what Tang Mo 'er had picked up and smashed it against the door, making a dull sound.
Lu Jinwen's large palm froze on the doorknob. The corners of his thin and cold lips curved upwards, forming a slight curve. Indeed, she dared to hit him.
This mother-daughter pair was his nemesis.
At this moment, Lu Yan walked over with steady footsteps, looking at Lu Jinwen with his brown eyes. He had followed Uncle Jin for many years, but this was the first time he had seen Uncle Jin smile.
Was Uncle Jin smiling?
The curve of his thin lips was so warm and doting.
He hadn't expected Uncle Jin to smile.
Lu Yan coughed lightly. "Uncle Jin."
Lu Jinwen looked up. His handsome, chiseled face had instantly transformed into his usual dignified look, as though the smile just now was just an illusion.
…
In the study.
Gu Mohan, Lu Jinwen and Lu Yan were all present. Lu Yan spoke up, "Uncle Jin, the love pea poison in Mo 'er's body has already spread to his entire body. The only antidote is gone …"
Gu Mohan smirked. "Master Yan, it's all thanks to you."
"…" Lu Yan looked at Lu Jinwen. "Uncle Jin, I'm sorry. It's my fault."
He had thought that Lu Qi 'er was the daughter of the Lu family, but he had not expected Tang Mo' er to be the one. He had protected the wrong person in the past.
Lu Jinwen patted Lu Yan's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself, this has nothing to do with you."
"Ha," Gu Mohan chuckled and looked at Lu Jinwen from the corner of his eye. His magnetic voice was laced with sarcasm. "Uncle Jin, who does that have to do with? You? That's right, it's all your fault. "
"…"
Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips and glanced at Gu Mohan.
Lu Yan realized that the atmosphere wasn't right and quickly tried to smooth things over. "President Gu, you're in the wrong. Mo 'er is Uncle Jin's daughter, so you're Uncle Jin's son-in-law. No matter what, you have to call Uncle Jin' Dad '. How can you speak to Dad in such a manner?"
"Oh, I'll listen to Mo 'er. Let's wait for Mo' er to acknowledge him and call him Dad first," Gu Mohan replied nonchalantly.
"…"
Lu Yan cleverly changed the topic. "Actually, there's another way to save Mo 'er."
Gu Mohan and Lu Jinwen's attention was instantly attracted by his words. "What is it?"
"Have you heard of Miao Gu?"
Miao Gu?
"Actually, Miao Gu is very dangerous. We can't use it to save people unless we have no other choice. But now that Mo 'er has been poisoned, we can only take the risk. I've already sent someone to fetch Master Miao Gu and they'll be here soon. We'll discuss the details when Master arrives," Lu Yan explained.
Gu Mohan nodded. As long as there was a way, he was willing to give it a try. "Alright."
At this moment, a melodious ringtone sounded. It was Gu Mohan's phone call.
"You guys continue, I'll go out to take a call." Gu Mohan walked out.
Only Lu Jinwen and Lu Yan were left in the study. Lu Yan walked behind Lu Jinwen and said softly, "Uncle Jin, Master Miao Gu can wake Madam Xuanyin up. Madam Xuanyin is about to wake up."
Lu Jinwen's heart thumped and he turned to look at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan nodded lightly. Yes, when Master Miao Gu arrived, Lin Xuanyin, who had been in a deep sleep for many years, would wake up.
Lin Xuanyin had woken up before Lin Xuanji returned.
…
Downstairs of the apartment.
Gu Mohan wanted to bring Tang Mo 'er to his company. The Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in front and Yan Dong opened the back door respectfully. Tang Mo' er wanted to get in.
"Mo 'er, wait a minute!" At this moment, an anxious voice rang out.
Tang Mo 'er turned around and saw that Tang Hai had arrived.
Qin Yawen had also arrived. However, Qin Yawen's face was pale and her clothes were disheveled. She looked as though she had been beaten up and no longer had her usual well-maintained image. Two bodyguards dressed in black were pinning her down and she was unable to move.
Lu Qi 'er had also arrived. Lu Qi' er's face was filled with panic.
The entire family had arrived.
Tang Hai walked in front and looked at Tang Mo 'er. He begged in a low voice, "Mo' er, can Daddy ask you for a favor?"
Gu Mohan stretched out his strong arm and wrapped it around Tang Mo 'er's slender waist. The corners of his lips curved into a faint smile. "Mayor Tang, you know very well that you're not Mo' er's father. You didn't harm Mo 'er like Qin Yawen did, but this doesn't mean that you've fulfilled your duties as a father. Your current position as the mayor was obtained using Mo' er. What right do you have to use your father's name to beg Mo 'er for a favor?"
"I …"
Tang Hai was extremely ashamed. He admitted that he had neglected Mo 'er all these years and wasn't a good father. He really didn't have the face to beg Mo' er now.
His position as the mayor was obtained by using Mo 'er's identity as the daughter of the Lu family.
At this moment, two police cars stopped in front of Qin Yawen. A few uniformed police officers walked in front of Qin Yawen. "Qin Yawen, we're going to arrest you for premeditated murder. Please come back with us for investigation."
The police were here to arrest her.
No, she didn't want to go.
Premeditated murder was enough for her to go to jail. Neither Gu Mohan nor Lu Jinwen would let her out. She was going to stay in jail for the rest of her life.
Qin Yawen struggled like a madwoman and screamed, "No, I don't want to go. I didn't kill anyone. You're all mistaken … I don't want to go to jail, don't arrest me … Tang Hai, save me. I'm doing this for you, for our daughter …"
