Chapter 369: Disheartened

Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Fei should have been very happy that things had gone so smoothly, but for some reason, he still felt that he had not completely relaxed. He thought he’d found the single most important piece of his life that was missing. His daughter. But for some reason, he still felt that his soul was empty, as if he could hear an echo when the wind blew in.

In a daze, Jiang Fei saw someone walk into the room. Lu Rou placed the water on the table and called out softly, “Uncle Jiang? Uncle Jiang?”

Although Lu Rou was already Jiang Fei’s daughter, Lu He told her not to call Jiang Fei ‘father’ immediately. In Lu He’s words, he had to make Jiang Fei pay something. It was not easy to find a new money tree, so he naturally had to think of a way to get more money from Jiang Fei.

However, Lu Rou could not bring herself to call him that. At the thought that the man in front of her was actually Lu Zhen’s father, she felt a little disgusted.

Lu Rou called out twice. Seeing that Jiang Fei did not react, she thought that he was asleep. She slowly walked to the bed and saw that the servant had placed Jiang Fei’s phone on the bedside table.

Lu Rou picked up the phone and saw that the phone Jiang Fei was using was still in the style that had been unlocked with his fingerprints a few years ago.

She lit up the screen and saw a few new messages. She turned to look at Jiang Fei and slowly approached him. Then, she reached out and wanted to press Jiang Fei’s finger on the fingerprint unlocking device.

However, Jiang Fei suddenly retracted his hand. Lu Rou was shocked. When she looked up, she realized that Jiang Fei had already opened his eyes. His expression was a little painful, but he was looking straight at her.

“You…” Just as Jiang Fei was about to speak, he coughed violently, as if his lungs were damaged.

Lu Rou’s mind raced as she hurriedly explained, “Uncle Jiang, I saw your cell phone light up. I thought someone was calling you.”

After his breathing stabilized, Jiang Fei was silent for a few seconds before nodding. “It might be my assistant. I’ll call him back.”

“Alright, Uncle Jiang, I’ll go out first. I’ll leave the water here for you. Stay at our house tonight and rest. Good night.” Lu Rou pointed at the cup and quickly left the room.

Walking out of the room, Lu Rou pressed her chest, her heart still beating violently. It was really scary. Why did Jiang Fei suddenly wake up? She was really muddle-headed just now. She actually wanted to peek at Jiang Fei’s phone.

Lu Rou had always heard from Lu He that Jiang Fei’s background was extraordinary, so she was curious. She wanted to unlock Jiang Fei’s phone to see who his contacts were, but she did not expect to be almost discovered by Jiang Fei.

Lu Rou slowly went downstairs, not too worried that Jiang Fei would suspect her. In any case, Lu He and Wu Yu had created a perfect excuse. That b*tch Lu Zhen probably still didn’t know who her father was. From the fact that Jiang Fei had come to her house to look for her today, it could be seen that Jiang Fei already believed that she was his daughter.

Lu Rou couldn’t help but smile as she thought about the house that was about to belong to her in the city center. From today onwards, she was the daughter of Best Actor Jiang Fei. Everything that Jiang Fei had would be hers. This was simply a fortune that she had picked up for nothing!

After Lu Rou went downstairs, Jiang Fei woke up the screen in the room. He did not see any missed calls. There were only a few messages.

Jiang Fei’s head was really hurting. His health was not good to begin with, and he had gastric problems. He actually did not want to drink so much today, but Lu He kept persuading him to drink.

He had a motive for coming to the Lu family today. He wanted to bring Lu Rou to his side for the time being, so he did not dare to reject Lu He forcefully. He could only drink one glass after another.

Jiang Fei felt very uncomfortable all over. It was as if thousands of knives were stirring in his body.

Jiang Fei threw his phone down and lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. He had indeed noticed Lu Rou’s abnormality just now. Lu Rou seemed to want to peek at his phone. Without a doubt, this action was very wrong. Jiang Fei was a little angry at that time and immediately retracted his hand.

However, that was not what Jiang Fei cared about the most. He still remembered that he wanted to ask, but his chest suddenly hurt and he coughed violently. Lu Rou also saw him coughing in pain, but there was no concern in her eyes. The first thing she did was to find an excuse for her actions.

Lu Rou’s reaction made Jiang Fei’s heart turn cold. Even though he and Lu Rou had not seen each other for many years, he was still her father.. Didn’t she care or pity him at all when he was in so much pain?
