Chapter 307: 303. A Pretty Good Feel (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Looking at Zhang Sicheng's sincere eyes, Zhang Ran's initial anger eased slightly, and he sighed, "If you, Zhang Sicheng, were not married, had no children, or even to take a step back, if you and Liu Lu had only married for the sake of convenience back then.

If you two didn't love each other and were just barely maintaining the marriage, I wouldn't say anything, because I wouldn't have the right."

"If that were the case, no matter what you did, I wouldn't say another word."

"But Zhang Sicheng, ask your conscience, how has Liu Lu treated you? Although I haven't been around for so many years, just from the past six months of being together, I know that Liu Lu truly loves you."

"She has walked through such long, difficult years with you. Ask your conscience, has Liu Lu ever done anything to wrong you?"

"Furthermore, have you thought about Taotao in doing this? If he finds out his father is such a person, what kind of impact will it have on his growth in the future?"

Zhang Sicheng opened his mouth, and finally said with difficulty, "Dad, you've misunderstood. I really didn't do anything to wrong Xiao Lu. I swear to heaven."

Seeing Zhang Sicheng like this, Lu Xin wanted to speak again, but facing Zhang Ran's cold gaze, she couldn't say a word.

Zhang Ran's brows immediately furrowed. He pointed at Lu Xin and said, "It's already come to this, and you say you haven't done anything? Do I have to see you two hugging for it to count?"

He was getting a bit angry.

Zhang Sicheng knew it was normal for Zhang Ran to think this way; after all, if a man and a woman came out of a hotel together in the morning, anyone would overthink it.

"Dad, there really isn't. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hotel and pull the surveillance footage. I just drank a bit too much last night and didn't go back," Zhang Sicheng said hurriedly.

Looking at his anxious expression, Zhang Ran's heart stirred. If that were really the case, then everything would be easier to handle.

"Zhang Sicheng, don't think that just because this is the Davis Hotel I have no way to pull the surveillance. Don't forget about your Uncle Haiman," Zhang Ran said, his eyes fixed tightly on Zhang Sicheng.

Zhang Sicheng said quickly, "Really, I'm really not lying to you. And Lu Xin and I are just ordinary friends; it's really not what you imagine."

Hearing this, Zhang Ran sneered, "Ordinary friends? Isn't she your first love?"

"Uh... how did you know that?" Zhang Sicheng said, feeling somewhat awkward.

"How did I know? Xiao Lu told me," Zhang Ran said with a huff.

"Xiao Lu? Xiao Lu knows?" Zhang Sicheng became nervous all of a sudden, even more nervous than when he was caught by Zhang Ran.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Ran's expression softened for the first time, "Otherwise, why do you think Xiao Lu left home?

Also, do you know what happened to Xiao Lu when she left home this time? Do you know she was almost beaten by someone?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran became even angrier.

Zhang Sicheng's eyes turned red instantly, "Who? Who dared to hit Xiao Lu? I'll risk my life against them!"

Seeing Zhang Sicheng at this moment, a flash of complex emotion appeared in Lu Xin's heart, but there was more regret. If she hadn't done that back then, would things be...

"Don't worry about who it is for now. You'll have your chance to take revenge later. I've already punished him. Now, let's talk about your own affairs," Zhang Ran said.

"I... haven't I already explained it clearly? Dad, do you still not believe me?" Zhang Sicheng felt a bit aggrieved. Was he really that untrustworthy?

Zhang Ran said, "What use is it for me to believe you? Xiao Lu needs to believe you."

"Also, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm warning you now: keep those thoughts in check. You know in your heart how Xiao Lu has treated you before.

Our Zhang Family cannot wrong Xiao Lu. If you really do that, don't blame me for not standing on your side when the time comes."

Could Zhang Ran not be clear about Zhang Sicheng's little thoughts?

If Zhang Sicheng were truly oblivious to everything, then Zhang Ran shouldn't bother trying to groom him and should just let him be a carefree rich kid.

Did Zhang Sicheng really not understand what Lu Xin was thinking?

Perhaps he wasn't very clear before, but after last night, he definitely understood. To say Zhang Sicheng didn't feel a shred of temptation would be a lie.

It was just that he couldn't get past that hurdle in his heart.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran stopped paying attention to Zhang Sicheng and looked at Lu Xin instead, "From now on, don't appear in Zhang Sicheng's life again, not even at work."

"I know you, Lu Xin. Your workplace is in Beijing, and you're preparing to start a website. You should just go back and honestly focus on your startup."

Lu Xin said hurriedly, "Uncle Zhang, Sicheng and I are just friends. Isn't it a bit too much for you to interfere in Sicheng's personal life like this?"

Seeing this woman still quibbling, Zhang Ran couldn't help but show a cold smile, "Lu Xin, is it? Don't think that what you've done is truly unknown to everyone, and don't think that everyone in the world except you is a fool.

How did Xiao Lu receive those photos? Do you really think I can't find out? I just don't have the time to investigate right now. This is also a chance I'm giving you; don't be ungrateful."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran's expression turned cold. He stared at Lu Xin and said slowly, "I'll say it again: starting today, if I ever discover you appearing by Zhang Sicheng's side again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhang Sicheng stood to the side, stunned and silent. He had originally wanted to say a few words, but upon hearing Zhang Ran mention that Liu Lu had received some photos, he knew he had no right to speak.

This was also Zhang Ran leaving a preemptive impression on Zhang Sicheng; compared to Lu Xin, Zhang Sicheng was naturally more willing to believe his own father.

Looking at the cold-faced Zhang Ran, Lu Xin's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Zhang Ran's performance at the Internet Conference, she suddenly lost her confidence. She knew that Zhang Ran could absolutely do everything he said.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran stopped bothering with Lu Xin. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted, but rather that this matter wasn't easy for him to intervene in directly.

Another point was that he also needed to see Liu Lu's opinion. If Liu Lu wanted to teach Lu Xin a lesson herself when the time came, then she could do it herself.

As for paying Lu Xin to leave, Zhang Ran would never do such a thing.

Zhang Ran took Zhang Sicheng to the car and said to He Yong, "Let's go, to the Davis Hotel."

Hearing this, Zhang Sicheng said aggrievedly, "Dad, you still don't believe me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a pain in the back of his head; Zhang Ran had slapped him again, "Does it matter if I believe you? Xiao Lu needs to believe you. You'd better not lie, or even I won't be able to help you," Zhang Ran said angrily. Why was this guy so thick-headed?

Still, the feel was quite good; he could try it more often when he had nothing to do in the future, Zhang Ran thought thoughtfully.
