Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 611 - 594: The Lu Family Is Not to Be Trifled With (3)

Wang Xiaojie confirmed through the detention center that Kong Ying was indeed pregnant. To be cautious, she called Lu Ping to ask if he had had any contact with Kong Ying after that drunken night.

As a nurse, she knew that a man completely drunk would sleep like a dead pig, and there was no way he could have any substantial relations with a woman. Those who claim to lose control after drinking are surely not actually drunk; they just use drunkenness as an excuse. This call was just to put her mind at ease. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Lu Ping was terrified and thought, this woman is too vicious, trying to make him a father: "Mom, besides that drunken night, I really haven’t touched her."

"I asked, she said she’s been pregnant for a month, which according to the timeline, aligns with the period when you started officially dating."

Lu Ping swore, insisting he hadn’t touched Kong Ying afterward, saying, "Mom, if you don’t believe me, you can ask my advisor and roommates. That month, I was either in the dorm or the lab, and I barely spoke to Kong Ying, let alone had meals together."

Of course, Wang Xiaojie believed her son, but to be cautious she said, "There is a technology in Hong Kong now, called DNA paternity testing. I told the Kong Family, if they are certain the child is yours, then have the child, and we will send your samples to Hong Kong for a DNA paternity test."

Lu Ping, nearly shouting in anger: "Then let her have the child, and we’ll do a paternity test after it’s born."

With his words, Wang Xiaojie was relieved. However, she wouldn’t let the Kong Family continue to cause trouble, so she went to see Kong Ying at the detention center the next day.

As soon as Kong Ying saw her, she cried, saying she didn’t know about the impersonation and that she couldn’t let the child be born in prison.

Watching her cry, Wang Xiaojie said when she couldn’t cry any longer: "Impersonation isn’t achieved just by touching the lips together. From intercepting admission notices, transferring files, changing records, to successfully enrolling, this isn’t done by one or two people."

At this, she sneered and said: "Impersonation isn’t just your case, and the authorities have sent people to your hometown to investigate. If more cases are found, no one involved will escape."

Kong Ying’s face turned pale. If that’s the case, not only would her father go to prison, but her second uncle would be implicated, and many others would be dragged in too. This all started because of her, and those people would surely hate her. By then, the family wouldn’t be able to stay in their hometown.

Wang Xiaojie glanced at her belly with disgust: "Lu Ping said that besides that drunken night when you shared a bed, the two of you never spent time alone. You know whose child is in your belly. Dream on if you want to pin it on our Lu Ping."

Kong Ying felt this was the last straw: "Auntie, this child is Lu Ping’s. Whether you admit it or not, it’s a fact, and denial is useless."

Wang Xiaojie said: "Then have the child, and we’ll do a DNA paternity test in Hong Kong. If it’s our family’s child, I’ll acknowledge it and compensate you; if it isn’t, once you’re out, your fate will be ten times worse than your cousin Kong Yun’s. If you don’t believe me, feel free to try."

Kong Ying shivered, regretting provoking Lu Ping: "Auntie, the child in my belly isn’t Lu Ping’s."

As long as she admitted it wasn’t Lu Ping’s, she didn’t care which rogue man it belonged to.

That night, Wang Xiaojie called Lu Jiaxin, expressing immense gratitude: "Jiaxin, thank you so much. Otherwise, that foolish boy would have fallen into the trap. Letting such a scoundrel into our home would mean no more peace for us."

Lu Jiaxin said: "You must remind the kids to learn to protect themselves; otherwise, their prospects could be ruined if they are schemed against. Especially Lu An, with his special job, he must be extra cautious."

"Lu An is busy with school recently, so I haven’t told him about this."

Lu Jiaxin understood her reasoning, not wanting Lu Ping to be underestimated: "It’s nothing to be embarrassed about, living in this world, no one can guarantee they won’t be deceived in a lifetime."

"Alright."

Lu Jiaxin continued: "Lao Hei called me, and he’s found two more impersonation cases. These kids, like Kong Yun, came from rural areas, innocent and unsuspecting, and never doubted their bad luck was caused by impersonation."

"Another two?"

Lu Jiaxin denied it: "Not just two; we’ve only found three so far. But it’s not advisable to dig deeper into this. I’ve already asked Lao Hei to return to the Forty-nine City. The found information will be copied and anonymously sent to several relevant departments."

Wang Xiaojie was startled: "These people are outrageously lawless."

"The more remote and backward a place is, the bolder these people tend to be," Lu Jiaxin said. "In developed areas, such things are rare because people encounter more and are more inclined to question and investigate when something seems unreasonable. In remote, backward rural areas, people lack exposure and might never imagine that someone would dare to impersonate."

Lu Jiaxin added: "Sis-in-law, Lu Ping and Lu An are the most promising among our next generation. We can’t let them stay in their ivory tower forever; they must know the world’s dangers and the harshness of society."

Wang Xiaojie also admitted her mistake: "This is a failure on my and your elder brother’s part. In the future, all the kids in the family need a focus on this aspect of education."

Seeing the acknowledgment of shortcomings and the willingness to correct them, she had no further worries.

Wang Xiaojie apologized: "Jiaxin, I’m really sorry for burdening you with our matters when you’re so busy."

Mainly because Lu Jiaguang didn’t take it seriously, and besides Jiaxin, there was no one else reliable at home to discuss with. Alas, it’s best to trouble Jiaxin less in the future.

Unlike before, Lu Jiaxin didn’t say it was nothing: "I will be traveling for some business in a couple of days, and I’ll take some time to return. Leave a message with the steward if anything arises. If it’s urgent, contact Su Heming, and he’ll find a way to reach me."

"Alright."

Once matters here were settled, Wang Xiaojie called Lu Ping back and asked Big Uncle Lu if he’d attend Lu Jiaxin’s engagement banquet. Previously, she’d asked, but Big Uncle Lu said he needed to think it over.

After careful consideration, Big Uncle Lu still refused, saying: "I’ll attend when Jiaxin gets married, but not the engagement banquet. It’s too far, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving your mother at home."

After saying that, he mentioned another matter: "A couple of days ago, I sent Jiayao and his wife back to the old house. Though your mother is old, she was still doing the laundry and cooking for them, yet they only complained about the salty dishes or the meat being overcooked. I directly kicked them out."

Wang Xiaojie was furious. Jiayao’s eldest son had been placed in the railway bureau and had now been regularized. His youngest son didn’t get into college and was sent by her husband to the county’s power plant. Given their sons’ positions, they ought to care for their elders; however... never mind, let her husband handle it, she shouldn’t scold them.
