Chapter 369: Bastard Son

e interested in her words, "What's different today""You don't need to ask that. Are you free today I have something to tell you, can we meet" Fu Xiaoyao asked instead of answering.Tang Yi pondered for...“Did I say something wrong” Tang Yi sarcastically spread his hands, “You treat Xiaoyao as an accessory. That’s why you don’t consider her feelings. You subconsciously think she should follow the path you planned for her. You think you’re doing good for her, but have you ever thought about whether she wants your kind of good I think she probably doesn’t.”

Hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's heart skipped a beat.

He had to admit, he hadn't asked Fu Xiaoyao for her opinion and had unilaterally decided on his own plan, wanting to protect her this way.

He, did he make a mistake

Tang Yi saw that Lu Hanchuan was starting to doubt himself. His long, narrow eyes narrowed for a moment before disappearing as quickly as they had appeared. "Alright, President Lu, I've said so much, Xiaoyao probably walked far away already. I should go find her. After all, I brought her here, and I naturally have to send her back safe and sound. So, President Lu, see you later."

He turned around, waved his hand goodbye to Lu Hanchuan's back, and left with a dashing air.

Outside the auction hall, Tang Yi found Fu Xiaoyao waiting there and ran over. "Have you been waiting long"

Fu Xiaoyao glanced at him, "What did you tell him"

"You're talking about Lu Zong" Tang Yi asked with a smile.

Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "Or do you think I asked someone else"

"Hee hee, just kidding with you." Tang Yi waved his hand nonchalantly. "I didn't say much to him, just let him know how low his emotional intelligence is. Besides, I also gave him a heads up and told him to apologize to you. As for whether he can understand or will come looking for you, I have no idea."

Fu Xiaoyao heard this, her eyes drooping, "I think it probably won't be."

"Oh" Tang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Why"

"I know his personality. He's too arrogant to humble himself," Fu Xiaoyao shook her head.

"If that's the case, then you'll never get an apology from Lu Zong, will you You two will never be able to make up, will you" Tang Yi's eyes rolled slightly.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't notice his change, and she smiled wryly, "I don't know either."

"Tsk, your tangled relationship. In my opinion, just break up." Tang Yi said casually.

Fu Xiaoyao immediately voiced her refusal, "No, I promised grandpa, I can't get a divorce."

"Why can't you leave Old Master Lu, such a shrewd person, how could he make such a foolish request Isn't he deliberately tying you down" Tang Yi probed.

Fu Xiaoyao was so engrossed in her grief over the passing of her grandfather that she didn't notice his attempts to pry. She rubbed her tired cheeks and replied, "I'm sorry, I can't say."

"Is it so mysterious" Tang Yi's eyes flashed.

Fu Xiaoyao sighed, "It's not a secret, but it concerns something very important, which is why I can't say."

She wasn't going to tell anyone about the shares, not even Lu Hanchuan. Unless Lu Hanchuan really became what her grandfather said he would be, she wouldn't tell him, and she wouldn't give him the shares to help him get back on his feet.

If he didn't end up in that situation, she would keep the matter of the shares hidden deep within her heart, becoming the most mysterious shareholder of Lu Group, until she and his child were born, then she would tell him about the shares and transfer them to their child.

Their relationship is probably going to delay the issue of having children again to some unknown time.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes dimmed as she touched her abdomen, a look of bitterness on her face.

Tang Yi watched her movements and touched his chin, "Since you don't want to say, then forget it. But do you know why Lu Zong agreed to not divorce according to Old Master Lu's request"

"Well, well," Tang Yi chuckled, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. "Even Lu Zong doesn't know this, so I feel much better now."

"What's this got to do with you" Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes at him.

Tang Yi meaningfully wiped the corner of his mouth, “It’s alright, I’m just happy to see Mr. Lu unhappy. Well, we should go back.”

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, following him towards the exit. "So you're just running around for nothing today"

Tang Yi narrowed her eyes, "No, at least I saw Lu Zong's joke, it wasn't a wasted trip. I'll tell my father that the company didn't get acquired."

Listening to him mention his father, Fu Xiaoyao frowned in confusion. "Father"

"Yeah, what's up" Tang Yi turned his head to look at her.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled. "It's nothing, I just find this title a bit unfamiliar."

It is unusual for people to call their father directly.

"It's normal, I don't have a good relationship with him." Tang Yi said lightly.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered what Shi Mo had said before. She hesitated and opened her mouth, "That... I heard that you and Chairman Tang are not biological father and son, is that right"

Tang Yi's footsteps faltered, "Who told you that"

"Well, Shi Mo." Fu Xiaoyao answered honestly.

Tang Yi raised an eyebrow. "Do you know Shi Mo"

"Well, we met by chance." Fu Xiaoyao touched her short hair at the ear and answered, her face slightly flushed.

She can't forget the awkward scene when she called him Mo Ge.

Fortunately, Shi Mo hadn't heard it at the time.

Fu Xiaoyao's flushed face fell into Tang Yi's eyes, causing him to have some associations instantly, his gaze turning cold. "Coincidence Looking at you, it seems like your relationship is pretty good"

"Well, it's complicated. Things between us are a bit messy." Fu Xiaoyao said, fidgeting with her neck and sounding a little embarrassed.

Tang Yi curled his lips, "Complex"

"Well, I look a lot like his sister, so he's pretty nice to me." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

There's nothing wrong with saying this.

But Tang Yi was stunned after hearing her answer. He didn't expect that her real relationship with Shi Mo was like this. He thought she had feelings for Shi Mo too, after all, the way she blushed was indeed misleading.

"Well, that..." Tang Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose. "I didn't expect him to tell you all this. Yeah, my father and I aren't biologically related. I was adopted—a child someone didn't want!"

When he got to this point, his voice grew noticeably heavier, with a hint of gritted-teeth hatred.

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised that his true identity turned out to be like this, she was momentarily caught off guard.

However, unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by Tang Yi.

Tang Yi saw that she didn't speak for a long time, thinking she disliked his status. The expression on his face instantly turned cold, "What Do you think my status is lowly"

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao just came to her senses when she heard his words, a little dazed, "Lowly I didn't think your status was lowly at all."

"Didn't you just mean that" Tang Yi's eyes were full of coldness.

Fu Xiaoyao finally understood that he had misunderstood, and she couldn't help but laugh. "I was just surprised, I didn't think your identity... you overthought it."

"Really" Tang Yi still seemed doubtful, squinting his eyes.

Fu Xiaoyao curled her lips. "Believe it or not, what's your identity to me Does it matter"

Tang Yi fell silent, then after a few seconds, he retracted the thorns all over his body and suddenly laughed, "That's right, my identity is indeed unimportant to you. I'll just trust you for now."

"Well, that's that for now." Fu Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth.

Tang Yi looked at her, "Why don't you ask me who my biological father is"g to me. I'll arrange for an audit of your assets. If anything is missing, you'll have to pay double."This action was undoubtedly humiliating, once again throwing Qi Dongming's face and dignity to the...
