For so many years, Song Lan was the first woman to capture Zhu Junjie's heart. He devoted all his feelings to her, wishing for a harmonious relationship where they could resonate with each other. Even if they couldn't be overly sweet, he hoped for a gentle and enduring connection.
Zhu Junjie initially believed that as long as he did well enough to win Song Lan's heart, he would achieve his wish. Over the past year, he had indeed performed admirably and was on the verge of success, but reality played a cruel joke on him.
He wants to hold onto the happiness that has come so hard to him. Based on his understanding of Song Lan, she will still give him some time now. After this period of grace, she will not be as peaceful with him as she is now. He said he would give her an explanation. He can't continue to avoid it.
Zhu Junjie stopped before dialing the girl's number. He didn't want to hear someone else describe the scenes of him being with other women, as it would only make him feel even more sorry for Song Lan. After feeling restless for a while, he simply got back in the car and drove off.
Zhu Junjie left the company, and Song Lan rushed to Gaoqing.
The matter between Song Lan and Zhu Junjie is no longer a secret in the company. When the receptionist saw Song Lan, she greeted her with a smile, "Sister Song Lan, are you here to see Manager Zhu?"
"Yeah, is he in his office?"
"Manager Zhu has gone out."
"Thank you, I'll give him a call."
"Okay, Song Lan sister, I'll pour you a glass of water."
"No need to bother, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Song Lan politely declined and left.
Several young female employees gathered at the front desk and curiously asked, "Manager Zhu and Song Lan have children, why aren't they married yet?"
"You forgot how Manager Zhu treated Song Lan before, didn't you?"
"Manager Zhu is not efficient at all. It's been almost a year and he still hasn't won her over."
"Song Lan is different from other women. If she were that easy to pursue, she wouldn't have been suppressed in the company for five years and still be so outstanding."
"Yes! Sister Song Lan has also gone through hardships and finally found success, becoming the apple of Manager Zhu's eye. Even so, she remains the same as before, without any arrogance. Not at all like those petty people who act all high and mighty just because they got a promotion!"
"Now we know how good she is. Back when she was at the company, so many people avoided her like the plague because of Manager Zhu. Look at Luan Shan, even though no one in the company likes Sister Song Lan, she remains steadfast in her friendship with her. Together, they started a studio and their reputation in the industry keeps rising. They earn more in a year than we do in ten or eight years."
Several female employees, when talking about the achievements of Song Lan and Luan Shan, feel not only envy but also regret.
If before, they had also built connections like Luan Shan, with Song Lan, it might have been helpful for their career.
Reality cannot be changed, they can only sigh from time to time. Their Manager Zhu is too eccentric, clearly liking a woman but not trying to please her, instead suppressing her. Who can understand this?
Now, Manager Zhu is acting like a bootlicker in front of Song Lan.
The stark contrast in attitude before and after made the employees at Gaoqing suspect whether Manager Zhu had changed. However, judging from his appearance and his attitude towards other women, it was the same person. If only we had known earlier! Song Lan left Gaoqing and called Zhu Junjie.
Zhu Junjie quickly answered, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Song Lan is mostly focused on work, and during work hours, he wouldn't call Zhu Junjie unless it's important.
Zhu Junjie understands this.
"I have something to discuss. I came to Gaoqing to find you, but the front desk said you had gone out."
"I misread the time and thought it was Tong Tong's dismissal time. I rushed over only to realize that there are still over two hours before Tong Tong gets out of school."
"Are you at the kindergarten gate now?"
"Okay. I'm going to the kindergarten office to check on Tong Tong's class situation."
Previously, Tong Tong was bullied by other children in another kindergarten.
After transferring to the current kindergarten and with the support of Zhu Junjie as a father who frequently picks up and drops off, as well as the guidance of the teachers, Tong Tong's school life has been relatively happy and smooth.
Zhu Junjie is particularly concerned about Tong Tong's campus life.
"Well, you can go."
Zhu Junjie wants to ask Song Lan if he has something to tell him.
As the words were on the tip of his tongue, he remembered the girl. Zhu Junjie tightened his grip on the phone slowly and said, "I'll check the surveillance footage and get back to you."
Song Lan responded with a sound and hung up the phone. Where should she go now?
Let's head to Mutau Hospital!
After finding Wei Sheng, Song Lan did not beat around the bush and directly asked, "If she is pregnant, how many weeks can a DNA paternity test be done? Is the accuracy high?"
When the girl approached them, Zhu Junjie had already informed Wei Sheng about her and even asked Wei Sheng to confirm whether he had intermittent amnesia. At that time, Wei Sheng was sure that Zhu Junjie was completely normal.
But as the investigation deepened, the suspicion against Zhu Junjie grew, and Wei Sheng was no longer certain if Zhu Junjie had forgotten something. Zhu Junjie's evasive attitude now made Wei Sheng even more uncertain. As soon as Song Lan spoke, Wei Sheng understood clearly that the girl she mentioned was the one who had come to ask Zhu Junjie to fulfill his promise.
After the girl collided with Zhu Junjie's car, she was treated at Wei Sheng's Mutau Hospital. Wei Sheng was much clearer about the girl's condition than Song Lan. "Eight weeks. The DNA test results are very accurate."
"How many weeks is she now?"
"About six to seven weeks."
Song Lan nodded. "She is willing to do a paternity test. I would appreciate it if Dr. Wei could help arrange that."
"I'll make a note of it."
"Thank you."
"No need to be polite."
Wei Sheng has a good relationship with Zhu Junjie, and Wei Sheng will not stand by and watch Zhu Junjie's happiness in the latter part of his life.
Song Lan lifted his foot to leave.
"If the DNA identification result comes out and it is different from what you imagined, what will you do?"
"Dr. Wei, a person's decision can change with their state of mind, so I can't give you an answer right now."
Song Lan is a smart person; she doesn't want to make her words too definitive.
"I have known Zhu Junjie for a while, he doesn't take relationships lightly."
"No one wants to treat relationships as a game."
"She has always believed in being selective rather than settling for just anyone, otherwise she wouldn't be at this age with only one relationship."
She hopes that this relationship can have a good ending, but given the current situation, it seems difficult.
"Dr. Wei, I'm asking you about the assessment; please don't tell him."
"Okay."
The identification was supposed to be done, and Zhu Junjie had already reminded him about it. Wei Sheng had set a date, so there would be no delays.
Song Lan left the hospital feeling unwell. It was still a bit early to go home, and after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly thought of Yang Jiaojiao. She called her, but the line was still busy!
What happened to her? Could something have gone wrong?
Song Lan is not at ease, so she drives to the Yang Family Manor.
She has never been to the Yang Family Manor, but she knows its location.
