Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Discovering Clues
Li Cheng said, “Mr. Du, I’m very moved that you care so much about my son. I know my son saved your daughter’s life, but your concern for my son might make others think… Don’t forget, you and my wife had a past. If this gets out
there’s bound to be a lot of speculation!”
Du Shaoheng said, “Yufei and I did have a past, but that doesn’t an…”
He stopped speaking mid-sentence, suddenly silent.
Du Shaoheng didn’t want to ntion Li Yufei.
ntioning her only brought heartache.
He simply said, “I just want you to know, that is your son, and even an outsider like cares more for him than you do! What kind of father are you? Don’t forget, you brought this child into this world! You should take good responsibility for him!”
Li Cheng also felt that he couldn’t directly confront Du Shaoheng, otherwise, it might arouse Du Shaoheng’s suspicions.
He imdiately said, “Forget it! Let’s listen to the doctors! Anyway, let’s go with the doctor’s treatnt plan tonight and see how the child is doing tomorrow before we decide!”
After speaking, Li Cheng cautiously said, “It’s so late, Mr. Du, you’d better go ho early!”
Du Shaoheng said, “I know.”
Li Cheng: “How did you get here? Do you want to give you a ride?”
Du Shaoheng said, “I drove here.”
Li Cheng said, “My car is also parked in the parking lot, let’s go together!”
Li Cheng was afraid of Du Shaoheng having too much contact with the child.
Du Shaoheng did not react further and left for the parking lot with him.
Li Cheng watched Du Shaoheng get in his car and drive out of the parking lot before he drove off.
Li Cheng’s car had just left.
Du Shaoheng’s Bentley drove back to the hospital.
He stopped the car, turned off the engine, and sitting inside, he felt sothing was off.
Why did he drive back?
Perhaps, he had so lingering concern for that child.
Li Cheng’s attitude made Du Shaoheng feel quite strange, there were many oddities.
He felt Li Cheng’s feelings towards this child were overly detached.
Granted, the child was born out of wedlock, not raised by his side since childhood, but he was a father himself and knew what a father’s emotions are like.
Even if he didn’t watch the child grow up from an early age, a father’s love for his child wouldn’t be this indifferent!
So love, so care is not sothing you can express or act out without experiencing it.
Du Shaoheng felt sothing was amiss.
He parked the car and entered the hospital.
The doctor was a bit surprised to see him return: “President Du? Why are you…”
Du Shaoheng said, “Is it possible to see the child?”
The doctor hesitated: “The child is still in the intensive care unit, and it is not necessary… no visits are allowed.”
Du Shaoheng said, “I just want a glance, please make an exception.”
The doctor pondered for a mont before saying, “Alright! Please undergo disinfection procedures! The child has external wounds, exposure wounds, and there’s another patient in the ward who just had a tracheotomy, so we’re afraid of bacterial infection. Please, do not touch the child.”
Du Shaoheng nodded.
He put on sterile clothing, donned a mask, and entered the intensive care unit.
Li Junyan’s bed was the one furthest inside.
Du Shaoheng walked over and saw Li Junyan’s frail and pale face.
He was still in a coma, having woken up briefly before due to excessive blood loss, which left him parched, but he can’t take any fluids now, so the nurse could only use a cotton swab dipped in a bit of water to moisten his lips.
Du Shaoheng looked at Li Junyan.
The doubts in his heart expanded continuously.
He beca increasingly sure that his earlier impression that this child looked like him in his youth was not an illusion.
Du Shaoheng turned to the doctor beside him: “Do you think this child resembles ?”
The doctor was montarily stunned: “I can’t really see it…”
The doctor looked at Li Junyan, and then carefully at Du Shaoheng, a bit surprised: “There is so resemblance in the eyes and brows…”
Li Junyan’s youthful features had not fully developed, but his facial outline already showed signs of handsoness.
But…
Isn’t this child’s biological father soone else…?
The doctor found it a bit far-fetched.
Could such a coincidence exist in this world?
Du Shaoheng furrowed his brows, took out his phone, and took a photo of Li Junyan.
…
The next day.
In the morning.
Du Shaoheng arrived at the company and made a phone call.
When the call connected, a formal voice ca from the other end: “Hello, this is the front desk of Dishen Group.”
Du Shaoheng said, “This is Du Shaoheng from Intercontinental Group, please connect to the president’s office landline.”
“…Alright.”
The receptionist imdiately transferred the call to the president’s office.
After a few seconds of busy tone, the call got through.
A woman’s cold yet noble voice ca through: “Hello?”
Du Shaoheng said, “It’s .”
There was a pause on the other end of the line: “What’s up?”
Du Shaoheng said, “Are you free this afternoon? I’d like to invite you for afternoon tea.”
Li Yufei said, “What’s the matter, does it have to be face to face?”
Du Shaoheng replied, “There are things I want to discuss with you in person. 2 PM, you choose the place and send the details.”
Li Yufei: “…Understood.”
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Tea room.
Du Shaoheng arrived fifteen minutes early.
Twenty minutes later.
Li Yufei arrived a bit late.
She opened the door to the private room and apologized, “Sorry, I’m 5 minutes late.”
Du Shaoheng stood up and smiled warmly, “We’re not doing business, a few minutes late doesn’t need explaining.”
Li Yufei wore a professional white suit, with light makeup on her face, yet she was naturally a striking beauty, just with a touch of red lipstick she exuded a strong aggressiveness, giving an impression of power, clearly presenting the deanor of a strong woman.
She sat down opposite Du Shaoheng, and said calmly, “You asked to see , what’s it about?”
Du Shaoheng took out his phone, brought up a photo, and gently pushed the phone in front of her, “Do you know this child?”
Li Yufei frowned.
She didn’t know why Du Shaoheng suddenly asked her to et, and what it was about.
Dishen Group and Intercontinental Group didn’t have much collaboration, and the two of them had agreed not to et after breaking up, after all, they were once deeply in love, and after breaking up, it was hard to just be ordinary friends.
Although the two companies had dealings previously, after their breakup, most connections had been severed.
He suddenly asked to et just to have her recognize a child?
Li Yufei skeptically picked up the phone and glanced at it, only to be stunned.
This child had an indescribable familiarity.
Li Yufei rembered that when she was dating Du Shaoheng, he showed her photos from his childhood, and this child seed to be a miniature version of Du Shaoheng.
Even though Du Shaoheng’s features had matured now and regular people found it hard to notice any resemblance between the child and him, Li Yufei had seen photos of Du Shaoheng before and quickly noticed sothing odd, “Whose child is this?”
Du Shaoheng said, “Answer my question first; doesn’t this child bear so resemblance to when I was little?”
Li Yufei responded truthfully, “Seven or eight out of ten.”
