Ning Wanxi nodded, "It's true. During the May Day holiday, I went to their house with Luo Chao and saw Luo Chao's father, Lu Feng, with my own eyes. He was missing an arm."
"Is Luo Chao's mother nad Qin Yuzhen?" Ning Zongze's mouth was trembling with excitent as he asked again. Ning Wanxi nodded once more, and Ning Zongze looked at Luo Chao, never expecting that his daughter's boyfriend would turn out to be Lu Feng's son. It was such a coincidence.
Ning Zongze was now one hundred percent sure that Luo Chao was indeed the son of his benefactor. He was so excited he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet as he said, "Luo Chao, can you give your father's phone number?"
Luo Chao slowly ca back to his senses, finally accepting this reality, though he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He provided his ho phone number to the chairman.
Ning Zongze quickly took out his phone and dialed the number. After two rings, a sowhat hoarse voice from a man ca through: "Hello!"
Just from a single word, Ning Zongze recognized Lu Feng's voice. His face flushed slightly as he said, "Brother, it's !"
Lu Feng, who was still having lunch, paused briefly, and after a mont of silence, he said, "Is that you, Zongze?"
"Yes, it's . Brother, where have you been all these years? How have you been?" Ning Zongze's eyes started to glisten with moisture, recalling that unforgettable mont during a military exercise where the grenade he threw slipped from his hand. Without a thought, Lu Feng rushed over from not far away, picked up the grenade from the ground, and threw it with all his might. But it exploded just as it left his hand, severely injuring Lu Feng, and most importantly, he lost an arm.
Lu Feng was silent again for a long ti, as if he didn't want to receive this call. He responded evasively, "How did you find ?"
"Luo Chao is right next to ," Ning Zongze glanced at Luo Chao and murmured softly. Upon hearing this, Lu Feng imdiately frowned and shouted loudly, "Let that brat take the phone!"
The older brother still had a quick temper, easily getting angry. Ning Zongze wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and laughed, "Brother, I know you've been deliberately avoiding these years, but you can't bla Luo Chao for it, because there's sothing I need to tell you."
"What is it?" As soon as Lu Feng heard this, he suddenly seed to perceive sothing.
Ning Zongze smiled with narrowed eyes, "Wanxi is my daughter. My precious daughter is currently dating Luo Chao."
Crash! A crisp sound ca from the other end of the phone, clearly indicating that Lu Feng's phone had fallen to the ground, creating a collision noise. Lu Feng was so shocked he was like a statue, not moving at all. Qin Yuzhen, sitting at the dining table, saw this and curiously asked, "What's wrong with you, my dear?"
Ning Zongze had been searching for him for so many years and never found him. When Luo Chao was born, they had already moved away as a whole family, making it impossible for Ning Zongze to know that Luo Chao was his son. Lu Feng had a vague feeling earlier since Ning Wanxi and Ning Zongze shared the surna Ning, and Ning Zongze's sudden appearance made him suspect the matter was not simple. Yet he still couldn't expect Ning Wanxi to be Ning Zongze's daughter—such astonishing news!
Lu Feng slowly picked up the phone from the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "I really didn't expect that Wanxi would be your daughter. I didn't want you to feel indebted to back then, nor did I want to accept your help, so I left Jiangning City. I never expected that destiny would still bring our two families together."
Ning Zongze laughed, "Brother, you saved as a brother. I don't think of it as owing anything. You saved , and of course, I want to repay you."
"You rascal, planning a child engagent when my son wasn't even born yet—what kind of brother does that? How could I not leave?" Lu Feng felt suffocated and yelled loudly when he recalled the matter.
During that year, Luo Chao hadn't even been born yet. Who knew if it would be a boy or a girl, yet Ning Wanxi was already two years old, and Ning Zongze wanted a child engagent, which was truly outrageous. Lu Feng couldn't accept it. Under Ning Zongze's managent, the Ning Family had expanded from a small company into a famous and powerful corporation. Lu Feng always cared about his reputation and saw this as a kind of charity. If it were a girl, it would be one thing, but if his wife bore a boy, wouldn't he be seen as relying on soone else from the womb?
So, when Luo Chao ca out of his mother's womb, Lu Feng decisively moved the family away quietly, leaving Jiangning City and relocating to the remote countryside village of Lu Jiabuping.
When Luo Chao heard this, he was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if he'd been kicked in the head by a donkey, buzzing with disbelief. He couldn't imdiately accept that there had been an engagent with Ning Wanxi since childhood and that the old man had chosen to leave to avoid it!
Ning Zongze was embarrassed and said, "Brother, isn't this to strengthen the relationship between our two families? You did agree!"
"Nonsense, that day you got drunk, that's why I agreed," Lu Feng cursed. Though he had a fiery temper, as the chairman of the Tengyuan Group, he remained cheerful, saying, "No matter what, you did agree, and you've got to keep your word, brother."
This child engagent was agreed upon by the old man! Luo Chao's head spun. How could he have lived over twenty years without knowing any of this? How unfair!
Huang Lili's face blossod with a smile, equally delighted to find Brother Lu Feng because he was a benefactor to the whole family. Without him, how would they have such a complete family and the renowned Ning's Tengyuan Group today?
"Alright, alright, considering they are in love with each other, I won't argue with you about it, but our Lu Family absolutely won't accept a bit of your kindness!" Even though Lu Feng was poor, he was very proud and declared firmly.
Ning Wanxi as a daughter-in-law greatly satisfied both Lu Feng and Qin Yuzhen, and since their son Luo Chao liked her, Lu Feng reluctantly agreed to the childhood engagent they had promised.
However, Ning Zongze sighed, "Perhaps there's sothing Luo Chao hasn't told you—our Wanxi suffered from a strange illness since she was little."
"What illness?" Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked.
Ning Zongze bit his lip. He wouldn't hide this matter. After a long pause, he finally said, "Wanxi dislikes being touched by n. She has a psychological disorder that makes her reject n."
Gasp! Lu Feng inhaled sharply, taken aback: "Are you saying even Luo Chao can't touch her?"
"Yes, that's how it is." Ning Zongze sighed deeply. While he wanted to beco in-laws with his brother, he equally didn't want the Lu Family line to end.
