Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin slowly lowered her eyes and tried her best to hide the shock in her eyes to prevent Lu Xiangtian from seeing anything strange on her face.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangtian's shock was no less than Zhao Youlin's, so he didn't notice Zhao Youlin's abnormality at all.

After calling the name Wanwan a few times, Lu Xiangtian finally came back to his senses. He looked at Zhao Youlin again and asked in a low voice, "Ms. Zhao, can you tell me what kind of person that child is?"

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little awkward. Telling others what kind of person she was felt really strange.

However, if she didn't want Lu Xiangtian to grow suspicious, she had to say this.

"She... I don't know what to say. She... because she stayed in an orphanage since she was young, although she was adopted later, her family wasn't very well off. Isn't there a saying that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early? She... went out to work and study at an early age."

Zhao Youlin said it, as if she was afraid that Lu Xiangtian would suspect how she knew such a "Poor person." She quickly added, "I also met her by chance. I think she's a good person. She's... She's very loyal. We became fast friends. That's why..."

Zhao Youlin's words were a little difficult, but Lu Xiangtian did not doubt her. At that moment, he only wanted to use Zhao Youlin's few words to piece together the figure in his mind.

"The person who adopted her was from a poor family?"

"I heard... I heard that it was a single-parent family. There's no father, only mom."

Lu Xiangtian frowned. He did not need to think much to imagine Zhao Youlin's situation at that time. A single-parent family's mom with a little orphan. The two of them relied on each other, and although they could keep each other warm... there was no way to guarantee the basic necessities of life.

Lu Xiangtian couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

Lu Xiangtian's daughter was supposed to be the favored daughter of the heavens. She should have gotten the best of things and enjoyed the best of things, but because of his enemies and some people who were scheming against her... they had missed out on so much.

With that thought, Lu Xiangtian's face darkened and the hatred he felt for Lu Shu only grew.

At the same time, Lu Shu, who was still locked up in the dark room and had not eaten for a long time, suddenly felt a chill down her spine and shivered.

Li Yan, who was beside her, could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Are you cold?"

Lu Shu only felt a chill for a moment before she quickly recovered. However, when she heard Li Yan's words, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She lowered her head and mumbled, "I'm a little... cold."

As expected, when Li Yan heard that she was cold, he hesitated for a moment before he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. "Are you still cold?"

Lu Shu suppressed the joy in her heart and nodded. "Yes, I'm a little better."

Lu Shu, who was enjoying Li Yan's hug sweetly, had no idea that this moment of sneaky pleasure might very well be her very last.

Lu Xiangtian came back to his senses and raised his head to look at Zhao Youlin again. The question he asked was a different one. "Do you know what that child does for a living? Why hasn't there been any news of her after she went abroad for so long?"

"Uh..." Zhao Youlin was embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and made up another excuse, "To be honest, I'm not very clear about what she does. It seems to be a confidential and somewhat dangerous occupation. When she was going abroad, she specifically told me that if she didn't come back for five years, it might be our last meeting. This necklace... is also left for me as a souvenir."

Lu Xiangtian's expression changed when he heard Zhao Youlin's words. He had been in the underworld for so many years. How could he not understand what her last words meant, could it be that his daughter was really in a special and dangerous occupation, and she had been in danger a few years ago? Now, it was unknown whether she was alive or dead?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangtian almost couldn't sit still. However, he also knew that it was useless for him to be flustered at this time. He could only force himself to calm down and look at the photo in the necklace. He tried his best to calm down the lingering fear in his heart.

"What does she look like? Although there's no photo, but... you should at least remember what she looks like, right?"

Zhao Youlin was stunned. She knew that if she found an excuse to avoid Lu Xiangtian this time, she would be exposed. She could only say reluctantly, "She's pretty, right? Although she's not particularly beautiful, she's the type that people can remember at a glance. She's... a little like her mother."

All of Lu Sizheng's attention was attracted by Zhao Youlin's words. She was a little like her mother. He lowered his head and looked at the photo of his late wife. He pictured her face bit by bit, trying to extract the appearance of their daughter from it.

"At that time, I told her that I wanted a daughter, a daughter as beautiful as her. I didn't expect that I would get what I wanted in the end. Unfortunately... unfortunately, his daughter was lost because of those delinquents.

Hearing Lu Xiangtian's sigh, Zhao Youlin's heart trembled again. She didn't dare to imagine how Lu Xiangtian would react if he knew that her daughter had already been... three years ago.

Zhao Youlin suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted why she had been so outspoken. She had given the person in front of her a hope, but was destined to disappoint him.

Zhao Youlin opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say at this time. In the end, it was Lu Xiangtian who spoke first. "Ms. Zhao, this necklace..."

Zhao Youlin quickly understood Lu Xiangtian's meaning. She forced a smile and said in a low voice, "Since it has been confirmed that this necklace belongs to Mr. Lu's wife, it should be returned to the original owner."

Lu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows. It was strange that Zhao Youlin wouldn't give this necklace to him no matter what, but now she was willing to give it to him so easily. However, since Zhao Youlin was willing to give it to him... he had nothing more to say.

"Then I'll thank you. If you need any help in the future, you can tell me. As long as it is within my means, I won't refuse."

The smile on Zhao Youlin's face was a little forced. "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. If there's nothing else, why don't we call it a day?"

Zhao Youlin's words played right into Lu Xiangtian's hands. At that moment, he had basically gotten the information he wanted. The only thing that was missing was how to integrate the information and find his daughter. He got up and said, "It's work time now. I believe that you still have to go back to work, so I won't disturb you any further. I've already caused you much inconvenience today, so I'll definitely come and thank you in person another day."
