The fake daughter ran away with the baby, and the president chased her relentlessly

"It's you?" She looked at Sang Ran in surprise.

Sang Ran was also a little surprised. She didn't expect the world to be so small.

Pei Jingping's eyes wandered between the two of them: "Have you met?"

"Come in and sit down." Xian Jingcheng pulled Sang Ran and reached out to touch Sang Ning's head. "What a coincidence, I met your wife once at a fashion show before. She is amazing. She is a designer and can also walk on the runway!"

Pei Jingping looked at Sang Ran, surprise flashing in his eyes.

How many things is his concubine hiding from him?

Several people walked into the hall and sat down.

Sang Ran felt a little shy when Pei Jingping stared at her, so she had to explain: "I was forced to do this at the time. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"How could it be..." Xian Jingcheng stopped talking abruptly, his eyes fell on Sang Ning, and he couldn't take his eyes away for a moment.

She now had time to look her over.

Sang Ning stared back at her with her round eyes, blinking.

"This is... your child?" Xian Jingcheng asked the two of them, "Is he this big?"

"Yes." Pei Jingping introduced: "This is our daughter, Sang Ning. She has the same last name as her mother, Sang Ran."

Xian Jingcheng's eyes were complicated: "Oh."

Auntie was still preparing the meal, and Lu Hongzhi had nothing to do so he asked Pei Jingping to go to the study to chat.

Sang Ran and Sang Ning stayed in the hall with Xian Jingcheng.

In the study room.

The two of them sat on the black leather sofa, and Lu Hongzhi made a cup of tea for Pei Jingping and handed it to him.

Pei Jingping took it, lowered his head and took a sip.

The two chatted about some recent changes in the industry and some policy changes.

Lu Hongzhi then got to the point: "You came to see me today, so you must have something to do, right?"

"It's been a while since we last met, so I should come and visit." Pei Jingping said with a smile, "But I do have something I need Uncle Lu's help with."

Lu Hongzhi looked as if he knew it.

He teased, "I don't even know if there is anything you can't solve."

Having said this, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something.

“Isn’t he from the political circle?”

Pei Jingping supported his hands on his knees and nodded.

He sorted out his words: "Shen Changan, the deputy secretary of the Jingdu Provincial Party Committee, and his son Shen Jinshan, I believe uncle should have heard of them."

Lu Hongzhi lowered his eyes and did not respond, just sipping his tea.

Matters involving these issues are not so easy to resolve. Pei Jingping naturally knows this. No one wants to offend others for no reason.

He lowered his posture: "Originally, I had no intersection with him, but this man always likes to abuse his power and use his status to harm many women. Unfortunately, my wife was targeted by him this time."

"Jingping." Lu Hongzhi said earnestly, "This part of Kyoto is not under my jurisdiction. I can't reach that far."

Pei Jingping smiled and said, "I shouldn't have brought this matter to Uncle Lu, but I really had nowhere else to turn, so I resorted to this last resort."

"Shen Changan's younger brother seems to be on duty under Uncle Lu. I heard that... he has caused trouble for Uncle Lu many times." Pei Jingping knew a little about these things.

Lu Hongzhi opened the matchbox and lit the incense. Thick white smoke slowly rose from the incense burner, bringing with it the aroma of sandalwood.

He blew out the match: "Everything has its reasons. I can't just do it if I want to."

"I am willing to give out 10.05% of Pei Group's shares. This is my sincerity, and I am not coming here empty-handed." Pei Jingping said, "I have collected evidence of Shen Changan's bribery in recent years and sent it to your email."

He does not fight unprepared battles.

As for the shares, he originally started out on his own and there are not many shareholders in the company. He alone owns 60.05% of the shares, and giving these shares out is indeed a show of utmost sincerity.

Lu Hongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He did not read the email sent by Pei Jingping. If Pei Jingping could find it, how could he not find it?

However, the complexity of this cannot be explained in just a few words. Shen Changan's power is complicated and it is not so easy to bring him down.

As long as Shen Changan does not fall, he will naturally be able to protect Shen Jinshan.

However, the shares of Pei Group did surprise him, as they accounted for a considerable proportion.

He looked at Pei Jingping with complicated eyes: "Shen Jinshan is just a playboy, not someone who digs into the details. Are you really willing to do this for your wife?"

The meaning of his words was obvious. This matter could actually be resolved quietly. Fortunately, Sang Ran was still fine. Shen Jinshan probably didn't have the courage to do it again.

"I don't want to leave any potential safety risks. Besides, anything involving Sang Ran won't be let go so easily." Pei Jingping said firmly, "I believe you would do the same if it was Uncle Lu."

"That's right, hahahahahaha, otherwise I would have said that I had a crush on you back then. You really are exactly like me when I was young."

He waved his hand: "Okay, this matter is not urgent, I will think about it first."

There was a knock on the door at this time: "Master, the meal is ready, and the mistress is waiting downstairs."

"Come here."

The two of them walked out of the study and went to the dining room downstairs. The three of them were already seated at the mahogany dining table.

Sang Ran noticed that there seemed to be no seating rules in the Lu family. Xian Jingcheng just casually pulled her to sit at the top seat, and Lu Hongzhi was not surprised at all when he saw it.

Apparently, the two of them were used to it.

Actually, this is nothing. It’s just that in a family like this, the male host usually cares more about his face, especially when there are outsiders.

Xian Jingcheng liked Sang Ning very much, and had already given Sang Ning a lot of gifts while they were chatting downstairs just now.

Some aren’t even for kids.

Sang Ran noticed that all the picture frames in the house only had two people in them, and they seemed to have no children.

No wonder Xian Jingcheng likes children so much.

The two men sat down before the meal officially began.

During the meal, Xian Jingcheng casually asked, "Would you like to go to the swimming pool in the back after dinner?"

She had this idea when she first saw Sang Ning.

It was such a coincidence that she wanted to confirm it in person to feel at ease.

Sang Ran was slightly stunned. It was already mid-April and the weather was already warming up, but it was still inevitable to catch a cold if she went to the swimming pool.

She thought of an excuse: "Forget it, I didn't bring my swimsuit."

Lu Hongzhi also looked at his wife with some surprise. Seeing his wife winking at him, he could only smile indulgently: "Yes, the water in the backyard swimming pool is kept at a constant temperature, so it's not too cold to go in."

Children love playing in the water. Sang Ning hasn't swum for a long time since she returned to China. She looked at Sang Ran with anticipation.

Sang Ran was in a dilemma for a moment.

Pei Jingping saw through it, and he smiled and said, "Forget it. It's getting late. I came in a hurry today. It's a bit disturbing. I won't go."

"No, no, go ahead." Xian Jingcheng had his own plans.

She looked at Sang Ran confidently and said, "Go ahead. I have a lot of swimsuits in various styles, including one with a large backless design. It will suit you very well."

Faced with their kindness, Sang Ran found it difficult to say no and could only nod helplessly.

"OK then."
