âThe prices of diamonds and the like are not high now. There are many replicas too. Itâs rare that you would like these things, so I had to get them for you.â Lu Heting coughed lightly.
He really didnât want to lie to her, but he still ended up doing it.
âI like them very much. For the award ceremony, Iâll wear this ring. It wonât be too conspicuous, but itâs also very special because you gave it to me.â Su Bei put the ring on her finger.
âOkay.â Lu Heting smiled.
All he wanted was to make her happy. Everything he did would be worth it.
âAlso, I have something to tell you.â Lu Heting deliberated over his words. âItâs about your family and background.â
Su Bei stopped and looked at Lu Heting in surprise. Had he found out something?
She had secretly asked around in the past but did not get any useful information, hence she gave up on looking into the matter.
âActually, I didnât intend to tell you when I found out. However, because of their special identities, you might be attacked in the dark if youâre not made aware.â
âSo theyâreâ¦â Of course, Su Bei was curious.
âYour parents are Tang Jianming and Lin Shulian. Maybe you donât have an impression of themâ¦â
Su Bei had never heard of these two names before. Who were they?
Were they her parents? When she heard these two names, she was not as happy or excited as she previously thought she would be. It was as if she did not care much about them.
Perhaps because her family was already complete now, so she was a little indifferent toward these things.
âTheyâre also Tang Yueâs parents,â said Lu Heting.
âOhâ¦â When Su Bei heard this, she finally showed a reaction. âSo Iâm from the Tang family. That means Tang Xinru and I are cousins.â
She was not familiar with the rest of the Tang family and only had a deep impression of this cousin of hers.
âThatâs right.â
âLu Heting, where did you get the information? Is it accurate?â Su Bei could not believe that she was related to the higher-ups in the company.
Lu Heting didnât have the heart to say that the Tang family already knew about it but had no intention of acknowledging her. He said calmly, âAfter the news that youâre not a member of the Su family was exposed, I did a lot of research. The Tang family lost a little girl back then and her age matches yours. Also, the photos of you and the little girl from the Tang family are almost identical.â
Su Bei felt that it was unreal, but since it was Lu Heting who got the information, she naturally knew that she could believe him. His investigations were always accurate.
However, she did not feel much joy in her heart. It was completely different from the anxiousness she felt when she was looking for answers back then.
âDoes the Tang family⦠know?â Su Bei softly asked.
âIâm not sure.â If Lu Heting said that the familyâs elders were testing her character, she would be hurt.
He had finally helped her find her family. At the very least, he didnât want to ruin her ideas of what being a family meant.
For a moment, Su Bei fell into silence. She didnât think too much about it. She was recalling the things that had happened in the Su family and the orphanage when she was young.
Feng Ze, Feng Feifei, Lin Yu, Gu Xifeng and Hua Cuo in the orphanage. She did not miss out on much. Her adopted mother from the Su family, Chen Xiuzhu, had also accompanied her for a short period of time.
