Lou Shaotang nodded and answered with certainty.
"Di Jin's family is a French mafia family with deep roots and great influence. Not only in France, but also in Europe and the United States. Two years ago, after his father was assassinated, he took over the family business and is now the head of the family, its faith and its soul. "
Yes, it must be him! He could only do such a cruel thing as getting the opponent shot several times like that.
"I was afraid you'd be scared when you found out, so I didn't say anything. Furthermore, Di Jin loves you, I am not worried that he will hurt you, but he has many enemies, so after that day, I sent people to protect you secretly. "
Hearing him say that, I suddenly thought back to a few nights ago, when I met a drunkard harassing me in the company's underground parking lot after work. At that time, a tall and sturdy young man timely appeared and beat that drunkard up, I thought that the person was someone that had coincidentally appeared, but now it seemed like Lou Shaotang had sent someone to protect me.
"He's from the mafia, how could you become friends with him?" I put down my glass and continued to ask him.
Lou Shaotang pursed his lips and exhaled deeply, "We saved each other's lives before."
My eyebrows were furrowed as I looked at him in bewilderment.
He put down his cup and fixed his eyes on the brown liquid in it. "Later on, when I was out eating with him, his enemies came to the dining room and he blocked a shot for me in the melee. If it hit me, I would die, because the gun was aimed at my heart. From then on, not only did I know his identity, I also became brothers with him. "
Perhaps it was because he thought of the deep friendship between the two of them, but a dim sense of loss surfaced in Lou Shaotang's eyes. After a while, he sighed lightly. He hid his disappointment and his face darkened, "I just didn't think that he would know you, and I also didn't think that he would fall in love with you and even want to take you away from me."
At this point, the coldness in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
I pressed my palm against the warm cup. I had never thought that they would be friends for life, but now they had become enemies for me.
"Oh right, why are you cooperating with him?"
Lou Shaotang understood what I meant, and comforted me with a smile, "Actually, other than those evil things, he also does proper business, and the things that he and I cooperate with are those parts that can see the light of day."
"Including this time?" I don't know why, I blurted out. My heart beats like a drum after asking this question.
Lou Shaotang's hand that was about to reach for her coffee cup stopped slightly, "Of course." He picked up his coffee cup and covered his face with it.
"Why? Why do you continue to work with him? Aren't you afraid? " My heart is suspicious, they have openly fallen out, the purpose of continuing to cooperate is as simple as before?
"What are you afraid of?" Lou Shaotang laughed indifferently, "He's a tiger, a leopard, and I'm not a sheep."
He spoke easily and without worry, but my hand was covered with cold sweat.
I have seen Di Jin's ruthlessness before, but I think that it is just skin and skin. Other than killing him, I do not even know how ruthless he is.
My worried expression was clearly seen by Lou Shaotang as he pulled my hand closer to hold the bag in his warm and dry palm. He stroked the back of my hand with his thumb, "Wife, don't worry.
"Really?"
"Yes."
My heart that was hanging in my throat gradually relaxed. Looking at Heng Heng who was sitting opposite of me with his head lowered in silence, I asked him, "Do you want to go up and take a look?" Zheng Keer's operation should be over.
Lou Shaotang did not hesitate at all, "I'm not going." He said to Heng Heng: "Go up and see your mother."
Heng Heng raised his head, sparkling eyes that were the same as Lou Shaotang. He opened his mouth wide, looked into my eyes, and without saying anything, he got up and went upstairs.
Looking at his dejected back, I recalled what Lou Shaotang had said before, and could not help but ask: "Lou Shaotang, he is your son, do you really not want him anymore?"
Lou Shaotang's face was gloomy, the muscles on his cheeks slightly tensed.
He shouldn't be willing to give up his own flesh and blood.
Actually, he was quite concerned about Heng Heng. From the cake he had ordered for him just now, he could tell that it was Heng Heng's favorite food, the "Black Forest". The reason I know about this is because I accidentally overheard Shen Yiru asking about Heng Heng's preferences one time.
In addition, I have also heard from Lou Anqi that even though Lou Shaotang is currently living in the South of the City Apartments, he would return to the Garden every Sunday to bring Heng Heng out to play. He had also contacted the best private schools in Britain and was prepared to send Heng Heng to school as soon as he graduated from primary school.
The affection between father and son was slowly deepening, but now, for my sake, he was going to abandon him. He suddenly felt that what he had done seemed a little too cruel and heartless.
Although Heng Heng hates me and I don't like him, he's still a child. He had never been loved by a father in the last ten years, and now he was finally going to lose it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my father's kind face. But Heng Heng is luckier than me, at least he still has his mother who loves him. A wave of bitterness flowed out from within his heart.
"It's more suitable for him to follow Zheng Keer than it is to follow me. I will give them a sum of money to make sure they live well. " Lou Shaotang's tone was determined.
"But I may not be able to give you children." I bit my lip, and the bitterness welled up from the bottom of my heart and spread to the corners of my mouth.
"I don't care." Lou Shaotang said in a daze, his attitude was the same as before. He pulled me into his embrace and put his head close to mine, "Wife, as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter if I have children or not. If you really like it, we can adopt it. "
Because right now, the old man had yet to express his opinion regarding Lou Shaotang giving up Heng Heng. However, there was no need to think about it, he would definitely not agree to it. He would not allow the Lou Family bloodline to be lost outside, so he would ignore it.
"But your mother and old …"
"Their opinion isn't important." Before I could finish my sentence, he immediately interrupted me, "This is my problem, it's not up to them to interfere. I won't listen to what they say, and you don't have to listen either. "
I curled my lips into a bitter smile and put my arms around his waist. Actually, all this time, he had always treated Shen Yiru's dissatisfaction with me as air, especially when he was trying to urge me to give birth to a child. He had never even heard of it, so he had always been on my side.
However, Shen Yiru had one thing right. Lou Shaotang was the eldest grandson of the Lou Family. Taking over the family line was not only an obligation, but also a way for him to stabilize his position. If he didn't have a child, then "Tianyue" would definitely be passed down to Qiao Chenfei or Lou Cheng's descendant. All of his hard work and effort would be completely meaningless.
Furthermore, Qiao Chenfei was currently competing with him for the position of "Tianyue", if he insisted on going against the old man's wishes, in case the old man stood on Qiao Chenfei's side in anger, he would be kicked off the stage.
Had he not considered all this?
Perhaps it was because he saw through my concerns, a confident smile surfaced on Lou Shaotang's face. "Wife, you don't have to worry, no one can threaten me." He bent down and kissed me on the cheek. "Let's go back."
He took my coat from the back of my chair and was about to help me put it on when I shielded my hand. If it's the Garden, I won't go. "
I won't stay there anymore. I don't want to see the expression on Shen Yiru's face, and I'm tired of ridiculing Xu Manli and the others.
Lou Shaotang's mouth formed a curve, and pulled down my hand, "I'm not going either."
I stared at him in surprise. He chuckled, "Let's return to South of the City Apartments. You don't need to go to Garden from now on, and I won't be going if there's nothing special. "
I was a little surprised, but I knew it would be hard to do, unless he gave up even "heavenly".
"Wife, previously, I only considered matters from my own point of view, causing you to suffer too much grievance. I'm very sorry, and also very guilty." Lou Shaotang opened his palm and grabbed my hand. He faced my palm and stared at me with eyes as bright as the stars. "From now on, you are the center of my universe. If you want me to head east, I will never head west. If you want me to go to heaven, I will absolutely not enter the earth."
I stared at him in a daze, so that he would never have said it even if he had been beaten to death. Waves of warmth slowly spread through my palms into my heart, spreading in circles.
As Lou Shaotang had ordered the entire city's media to keep quiet, the people who were participating in the banquet were also afraid of the Lou Family's snobbery, no one dared to speak carelessly about it, so even though the matter regarding Zheng Keer was causing a huge commotion at the banquet, the outside world did not know about it.
Shen Yiru was also sick, and it was only an act. She wanted to make Lou Shaotang's heart soften, but she was seen through by Lou Shaotang with just a glance, not only did she scold her, she had even fallen into a cold war with her. In the half a month that we lived in the South of the City Apartments, Lou Shaotang didn't even give her a call to greet and greet him.
During this period, the wound on my neck healed and I used Dr. Su's ointment. There wasn't even a scar left on my neck. Lou Shaotang did not go back on his words. He had never gone to the Garden once, so he sent Qin Lang to retrieve some important things that were there.
I had originally thought that Di Jin, my greatest threat, would quickly take revenge on us, but to my surprise, he didn't.
He didn't seem to be living there, because he used to open the bedroom window even if he wasn't at home, but now it was closed and the curtains were drawn.
Furthermore, I didn't see the Little Jin either. He liked to play in the garden. The pots and bowls in the garden dog house were also empty.
However, if I were to say that he doesn't live here, why did those tulips that were planted for me not wither and instead grow even better?
I was puzzled, unable to figure out the answer. However, we didn't have much time to think about it. Right now, my life with Lou Shaotang was peaceful, warm and sweet.
Since Little Yu kept calling us to visit him, he said that he hadn't been busy recently, so we went to France, along with Lou Anqi.
When we arrived at De Gaulle Airport, Little Yu was already waiting there. When he saw us coming out, he immediately waved at us, "Sis, brother-in-law!"
"Little Yu!"
Before I could call Little Yu, Lou Anqi had already called him in front of me and quickly walked towards him.
Contrary to how she was grinning happily, Little Yu's smile froze and the corner of his mouth twitched.
