Chapter 372: Chapter 370: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 7_1

Lu Lao’er finally felt the heavy stone in his heart land.

Xia Ningxing hadn’t missed the expression on his face.

If previously she only suspected that he was the one behind this matter, now she was almost certain of it!

A son wanting to kill his own father was indeed interesting!

He probably wanted Sir Lu to kick the bucket sooner, so he could inherit the Lu Family’s fortune early.

During the time she treated Sir Lu, Xia Ningxing also heard about the matter of Jianren inheriting the Lu Family after Sir Lu’s death.

To think one would do anything for money!

Xia Ningxing always felt something wasn’t quite right, so on the way back, she casually asked, "Dean Lu, is Lu Lao’er your real brother?"

Even if it was for money and he yearned for his own father’s death, there should be some sadness, shouldn’t there? The strange thing was, Xia Ningxing hadn’t seen him show a trace of genuine sorrow from beginning to end. That was one thing, but the fact that he had to forcefully act out being distressed was even stranger.

This really didn’t make any sense.

His own father was about to die, and he, as a son, even had to rely on acting to show sadness.

"Of course, he is my real brother!" Without even thinking, Dean Lu nodded affirmatively, then a look of guilt surfaced in his eyes. "Miss Xia, what you don’t know is that over forty years ago, I lost my younger brother. It wasn’t until twenty years ago that my younger brother was found again."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing was stunned, having not expected this turn of events.

"Did you do a paternity test?" she asked subconsciously.

"We didn’t do that test; such advanced examinations weren’t available back then." Dean Lu shook his head and then said with a smile, "Actually, there was no need for that. In the first place, my brother still remembers what happened before he got lost, and how he was lost. Most importantly, he had our family’s heirloom longevity lock on him, so there was absolutely no mistake."

Dean Lu said with full confidence.

"Longevity lock?" Upon hearing these three words, Xia Ningxing’s mind flashed with Mr. Lu’s words—he said he had a longevity lock too.

And now this Lu Lao’er had a longevity lock as well.

Could it be that Mr. Lu was the real Lu Lao’er?

They even looked similar!

Before, Xia Ningxing didn’t consider this because in this world, even two people without blood relations could look similar. But now, the situation was different...

Xia Ningxing quickly asked excitedly, "Dean Lu, could you describe the design and material of the lock for me?"

"There’s no harm in telling you." Although Dean Lu didn’t understand why she suddenly became so excited, he still told her, "Our family’s heirloom longevity lock is made from pure gold, shaped like a lock, with the character ’fortune’ engraved in the middle and the character ’Lu’ on the back."

Xia Ningxing made a mental note to check with Mr. Lu when she got home to see if his longevity lock looked the same. It was possible that Sir Lu was his relative!

And the current Lu Lao’er could be an imposter!

"What’s the matter, Miss Xia? Is there a problem?" Dean Lu couldn’t help but look at her curiously.

Of course, there was a problem!

Your brother might just be a fraud!

But without evidence, of course, Xia Ningxing wouldn’t dare to speak rashly. She smiled, maintaining her composure as she shook her head, "Nothing, I was just asking casually. It’s getting late, I should head home."

Xia Ningxing changed the subject, planning to confront him about the matter when she had conclusive evidence.

"Okay, then. Take care, Miss Xia. I have a surgery to attend to, so I won’t be able to see you out." Dean Lu waved at her with a smile.

"It’s okay, the surgery is what’s important," Xia Ningxing said, and then she left the hospital.

Outside, the setting sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with a brilliant crimson.

Xia Ningxing looked up at the sky, a decision firming in her heart.

She needed to find a way to conduct a paternity test on Sir Lu, Lu Lao’er, and Lu’s father.

Dealing with Sir Lu and the big boss’s father would be easy.

As for Lu Lao’er... it wouldn’t be too difficult either, she could handle it.

Xia Ningxing slightly curved her lips into a smile. Once Lu Lao’er proved to be an imposter, she’d shatter his dream of inheriting the Lu Family. But if he wasn’t, she’d find another way to teach him a lesson for sending someone to harm her!

Having made her decision, Xia Ningxing was about to hail a cab home when she saw a car driving towards her, honking its horn.

Beep—

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look up, and then saw the car door open, a long leg stepping out first.

Next came a tall figure, and looking further up, she saw the strikingly handsome face of the man.

Under the dazzling and radiant sunset of the autumn evening, his wide shoulders and long legs cut a striking figure in his blue uniform, decorated with merit badges, with warm light casting over him.

"Lu!"

Xia Ningxing’s face broke into a delighted smile as she hurried forward and threw herself at him, affectionately looking up at him, "Have you finished your work at the research institute?"

He had been busy with the research institute’s work these days.

Counting the days, they hadn’t seen each other for a week, relying on phone calls to soothe their longing for one another.

"I’ve finished. I’m going to have a long break now," Lu Tingli said as he took her hand to help her into the car. Once they were inside, he held her tightly in his arms, his head buried in the crook of her neck, greedily inhaling the fresh scent coming from her hair.

He realized that he couldn’t stand to be away from her for even a moment. He wished they could become conjoined twins, inseparable wherever they went.

"Baby Xing, I’ve missed you so much..." Lu Tingli’s breath brushed against her ear as he whispered, each word sending a tickle through her earlobe.

Xia Ningxing’s ears instantly tingled.

"Me too,"

She said, her cheeks blooming with a sweet smile like strawberry sugar.

After being affectionate for a while, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but tell him about the day’s events, "Lu, I was detoxifying the father of the dean of the First Hospital, but his second son tried to ruin my hand. And I suspect he..." might very well be an imposter, and your dad is the real one!

Before Xia Ningxing could finish speaking, Lu Tingli’s expression tightened instantly, and the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees.

The next second, her delicate, flawless hand was grasped by his well-defined large hand. He lowered his gaze and frowned, inspecting her hand carefully as if checking for injuries.

Then, he checked the rest of her body.

Xia Ningxing hurriedly said, "Lu, I wasn’t hurt, the man suddenly... somehow he killed himself."

Lu Tingli seemed not to hear her words. He only completely relaxed after he had finished checking her over.

"You silly girl, you really had me worried!"

Xia Ningxing blinked her eyelashes and spread her hands helplessly, "I don’t want to be in trouble either, but there are always troublemakers out to get me!"

"But that’s not the point. The point is that I suspect he’s an imposter!"
