The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 101
byChapter 101 Children
The two got into the car, with Xu Wen still driving.
After all, he was still worried about letting Lu Qingrang touch the steering wheel. The mark on his forehead always made Xu Wen a little scared. A car accident was not a trivial matter. On the surface, it looked fine, but if it left a psychological shadow, it would be troublesome.
Lu Qingrang tried symbolically several times but failed, so he just enjoyed it peacefully.
The car was driving smoothly. Lu Qingrang took two mobile phones, his own and Xu Wen’s, and began to deal with the backlog of work messages caused by both being late at the same time.In the silence, he once again mentioned what he had not finished talking about outside the police station that day, with a calm tone:
“Xu Wen, Su Xia is currently detained in the detention center.”
Xu Wen looked forward and responded: “Yes.”
“This time, she probably won’t be able to come out.”
Xu Wen raised his eyebrows and continued: “The Nangong family and the Su family don’t want to fish for people? Isn’t her husband quite capable?”
“It’s not just as simple as blocking a car.” Lu Qingrang’s eyes lifted from the mobile phone screen and fell on Xu Wen’s profile. “After the Xia family fell, the official intention was to gradually dismantle all the forces that were closely tied to the Nangong family.”
“Moreover, while cooperating with the investigation, I learned from the authorities that Su Xia was involved in many illegal activities many years ago. The evidence… is far more than imagined.”
Xu Wen’s hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly. He was silent for a while before speaking: “How do you say it?”
Lu Qingrang keenly sensed the ups and downs of his tone, put down his phone, turned his head to look at him, and spoke clearly:
“Don’t get me wrong. I just think that when I looked at her unscrupulous behavior in the past, I thought she was just being spoiled. Looking back now, I thought it was too simple and looked at people too lightly.”
There was self-mockery in his words, and he was telling Xu Wen the truth, showing that he had already seen clearly.
“Now the official is using me to detain her. In fact, they want to thoroughly investigate the entire Su family. I will fully cooperate and provide all the evidence they need.”
His voice was still steady, but his tone was decisive:
“This time, I will help the authorities nail all her bad debts together. Whatever the sentence is, I will sentence it as it should.”
Qun Xuwen listened quietly, his expression slowly softened, and he answered naturally: “Yes.”
Lu Qingrang could tell that his mood had improved.
The car fell silent, Lu Qingrang’s cell phone rang, and the words “Director Wang” popped up on the screen.
He glanced at it, swiped his fingertips across the screen, connected the phone, and pressed the hands-free button.
“Mr. Lu, good morning. Didn’t I disturb you?” A voice with obvious flattery came from the receiver.
Lu Qingrang didn’t answer and waited for the next sentence.
Listening to this flattering voice, Xu Wen couldn’t help but sigh. As soon as the Tianqiong system was signed and launched, the director’s change of face was really amazing.
“Mr. Lu,” Director Wang continued without feeling any embarrassment, “I have a situation I need to report to you. Su Xia’s parents, with her very young son, wanted to go find you, but were stopped by our people. They won’t leave now, so they are making trouble in the reception hall of the police station!”
“They are clamoring to see you in person and demand an explanation for everything they say. We tried to persuade them and tried to stop them, but those two were so quick on their knees that we, the young and strong young men, almost couldn’t hold them back!”
“Kneel down in the police station with a child. We don’t want to ask you about your attitude so we can decide how to deal with it.” Director Wang’s words, as smooth as a loach, echoed in the car.
“Just follow the rules.” Lu Qingrang’s voice was still calm.
“Oh, yes, yes, I understand.” Director Wang responded repeatedly, preparing to hang up the phone.
At this time, the old man’s sad cry was faintly heard from the other end of the receiver: “She is still a mother! Is there any misunderstanding? The child is only two years old, he cannot live without his mother.”
Lu Qing was about to press the hang up button with his fingertips, but his eyes keenly caught Xu Wen’s slight frown.
“Wait.” He stopped.
“You mean, Mr. Lu?”
“If Su Xia’s case is finalized,” Lu Qingrang’s tone remained calm, “I ask you to properly arrange for that child. All living and educational expenses until he reaches the age of eighteen will be borne by a special fund set up by Xiangyang Technology.”
Director Wang was obviously a little surprised. He paused before replying: “Ah, okay, Mr. Lu, I understand.”
The phone finally hung up.
There was a brief silence in the car.
“Alas,” Xu Wen sighed softly, with a somewhat complicated tone, “If something happens to Su Xia, the Su family will definitely be doomed. Such a young child doesn’t know anything.”
Lu Qingrang quietly listened to Xu Wen’s words, and took over the words softly, with some comfort: “The affairs of the previous generation should not be borne by the next generation. The children’s affairs have been arranged just now. No matter what happens next, at least we can ensure that he grows up in a relatively normal environment, receives an education, and stays away from right and wrong.”
He looked at Xu Wen and said in a gentle tone: “Xu Wen, we didn’t do anything wrong in this whole thing.”
Xu Wen listened quietly and did not respond immediately.
He looked forward, seeming to be thinking briefly.
Finally, the little awkwardness in his heart disappeared, and his mood seemed to be clearer: “You handled it very well, really. I have to learn from you in this aspect.”
Lu Qingrang responded with a gentle smile, but the moment he lowered his eyes, a dark color flashed under his eyes.
Sure enough, even Xu Wen’s jealousy because of him made him uncomfortable.That sigh, that frown, even if it comes from caring about himself, he doesn’t want this emotion to be wasted on someone who has nothing to do with it.
He didn’t want Xu Wen to be affected by Su Xia, even if anything happened between him and Su Xia.
This desire for exclusivity was so strong that it was almost pathological. He was clearly aware of its existence, but had no power or intention to control it.
He is just a child who is not yet sensible.
Using a controllable fee to send it far away can be considered as buying out the last implication, which can make Xu Wen feel at ease and return the little attention to himself.
In his opinion, this deal couldn’t be more cost-effective.
