Director Qian's phone call hadn't ended when the office door was pushed open with a bang.
Looking up, an unfamiliar tall man with a stern and solemn expression appeared at the doorway.
He was startled, quickly hung up the phone, stood up, and pointed at Lu Mingzhe.
"Who are you? Who let you into my office? What do you want? Get out!"
Lu Mingzhe didn't speak. He rushed to him in three steps, grabbed him by the collar, and glared at him fiercely.
"Do you know Xiang Wan?"
"Who are you? What do you want? This is a hospital, I warn you not to mess around!"
"What's your relationship with Xiang Wan? What were you talking about on the phone just now? Speak!"
So he also knew Xiang Wan and had come to inquire about her. Director Qian suddenly understood.
No wonder this woman didn't want any entanglement with him; she had so many men at her disposal.
Director Qian smiled slightly and tried to pry Lu Mingzhe's fingers off.
"Brother, I'm afraid we're the same, both deceived by that woman. Are you here for Xiang Wan too? Let go of your hand, let's talk properly."
Such a short, ugly, and old dog of a man, Lu Mingzhe could hardly imagine how Xiang Wan could have gotten involved with someone like him.
He pushed his hand away, suppressing the nausea in his stomach.
"I'll ask you one more time, what's your relationship with Xiang Wan? What were you talking about on the phone just now?"
"Brother, in broad daylight, it's not worth fighting over someone like that..."
Lu Mingzhe exerted force, and he was lifted up, his toes touching the ground.
The collar was almost strangling his plump throat. Lu Mingzhe said fiercely,
"I don't want to repeat myself a third time. You don't want to say it? Fine."
Director Qian quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"I'll talk, brother, don't hit me, let's talk properly. Let go of your hand, how can I talk like this?"
Lu Mingzhe shoved him into the chair with a bang, stepped on the armrest, and looked at him like he was trash.
"Can you talk now? Tell me!"
He got the address of Tang Haichao's company and Xiang Wan's phone number from Director Qian.
He didn't have time to find the old professor again and rushed back to the lobby.
The car door opened, and Fang Shuya saw him return, thinking they could leave. However, Lu Mingzhe, with a dark expression, started the car without a word and sped to the hospital entrance.
"Ya Ya, you get out, take a taxi back to the hotel yourself. I have something urgent to handle."
Fang Shuya was startled by his suppressed and furious demeanor.
"What happened? Why are you suddenly..."
"I'll explain when I get back, you get out first."
It was less about asking Fang Shuya to obey and get out, and more about him driving her away.
The moment she got out of the car, before the door was even fully closed, he sped away.
While driving towards Tang Haichao's company, he called Xiang Wan.
The call was answered quickly, and Xiang Wan picked up, greeting him in a sweet voice.
"Hello, this is Ai Chao Interior Design Company. I am Xiang Wan, the sales manager. How can I help you?"
"Xiang Wan, this is Lu Mingzhe."
Lu Mingzhe?
Didn't he make things clear with him yesterday? Where did he get her number to call again? What did he want now?
Xiang Wan didn't want to waste words with him. Upon hearing his voice, she immediately hung up.
Lu Mingzhe called again, and she hung up again. He called a third time, and her phone number was blocked.
Lu Mingzhe, suppressing a stomach full of anger, could only drive towards the company.
Soon, he arrived at his destination, slammed the car door shut, and rushed into the company.
A staff member came out to greet him, asking if he needed any assistance.
"I'm looking for Tang Haichao, or Xiang Wan. Call them out to see me immediately."
"You're looking for our President Tang? He's not here right now."
"I said, Xiang Wan is also fine."
"Manager Xiang is out meeting clients and is not here either."
"Call them back."
"Sir, may I ask you..."
Lu Mingzhe shot him a glare.
"I am an important client of yours. Tell them my name is Lu Mingzhe. If they don't come back within fifteen minutes, I'll smash up your company!"
The receptionist had no choice but to call Tang Haichao.
Upon hearing that Lu Mingzhe had gone to the company, Tang Haichao knew what he wanted without even thinking about it and directly avoided him.
"Call security to escort him out. If that doesn't work, call the police. Our company doesn't have this client."
The girl, looking embarrassed, went to explain to Lu Mingzhe again.
"President Tang is currently busy and is out of town. Manager Xiang's phone is unreachable. Sir, could you perhaps come back another day..."
Lu Mingzhe knew they were deliberately avoiding him.
If it were yesterday, he might have left in anger, but not today.
He kicked the coffee table in front of him with a bang, overturning the set of cups on it.
He looked at the girl provocatively, "Keep calling. If you don't, I'll keep smashing."
"Sir, please don't do this. Let's talk properly..."
"Bang!" He directly kicked over the coffee table.
It almost hit the girl's feet.
Colleagues in the cubicles nearby heard the commotion and looked over.
The receptionist looked embarrassed, "Sir, if you continue like this, I'll have to call the police!"
"Go ahead. Call them if you want."
Saying that, he stood up and walked towards the front desk computer.
With a bang, he grabbed the monitor and smashed it to the ground.
By the time the police arrived, the ground was already a mess.
Someone came to ask Lu Mingzhe what happened. Lu Mingzhe lied, saying that Xiang Wan from their company had defrauded him of his design proposals and he had come to seek justice after failing to get them back.
The police believed him and asked the staff to call Xiang Wan.
Seeing that the situation was escalating and the colleagues couldn't work normally, the receptionist had no choice but to call Xiang Wan.
Upon hearing that the company was in chaos and even the police had arrived, Xiang Wan had no choice but to return.
They all went to the conference room. Xiang Wan sat down and asked Lu Mingzhe impatiently, "Are you childish?"
Lu Mingzhe pulled over a chair and sat down.
"I want to ask you too, are you childish? You're clearly not his girlfriend, and you clearly had my child, but you insisted the child was gone and you were marrying Tang Haichao. Is deceiving me fun?"
Xiang Wan was stunned and looked at him with a frown.
"Who told you all this? Ridiculous! Is that why you came?"
Lu Mingzhe met her gaze with certainty.
"Whether it's ridiculous or not, you'll know if you check. What's fake can't become real. Do you dare to let me check?"
Xiang Wan dared not.
He was right; what was real couldn't be faked.
The child would later need to go to the hospital, to school, to various places.
No matter how much effort she put in, if Lu Mingzhe really wanted to investigate, it would be easy.
However, would she compromise just like this?
"Even if it's true, so what? Don't forget, you are already someone's husband. Who I am a girlfriend to, and whether I had a child, what does it have to do with you?"
"Who you are a girlfriend to has nothing to do with me, but the child does."
Lu Mingzhe knew Xiang Wan would block him like this, but luckily he had thought of a countermeasure.
"She is of my Lu family, my Lu Mingzhe's child. I will not allow him to call someone else Daddy."
