To make matters worse, every time the two of them broached this subject, Su Ran always looked very troubled when Su Han asked âThen who was the other man?â
Even Su Ran herself had no idea who that was!
It wasnât in the original ownerâs memory nor was it mentioned in the original novel.
She couldnât possibly tell her son that she could only narrow that down the possibility. Itâd most likely be the riff raffs that âSu Ranâ had hired to set up the female lead who had subsequently been bought over by the female lead?
As such, Su Ranâs reaction only made Su Han more certain about his own speculations.
âHo.â Su Han snickered when he heard the response from the scum of a man. âSo what if you didnât know about me? Are you suggesting that would somehow change the fact that you are a scum?â
Su Hanâs words made Lu Shao frown.
âI am your father from a genetics perspective.â Lu Shao wanted to remind Su Han that he should not speak to him in that tone.
âMy father?â Su Han reacted like he had heard something funny. Looking at Lu Shao, he said, âDonât know. Donât need.â
Lu Shaoâs fingers that were drumming on the table stopped.
âThatâs fine. I just wanted you to be aware of the truth, that was all. As for whether you need a father or whether you want to recognize me as your father, that is all up to you,â said Lu Shao in an indifferent tone as he looked at Su Han expressionlessly.
His manner was very much like a developer talking to residents who refused to move â Welp, this is my final offer. Take it or leave it. I can always work around you.
âTruth? Is that all you wanted to tell me?â Su Han pointed at the DNA test report that he never once opened and asked.
âIndeed.â Lu Shao nodded. âIs there anything else that you want to know?â
That definitely piqued Su Hanâs interest and made him refrain from his next mocking comment.
He was definitely curious about certain details.
âThen, can you tell me what happened then and what you have done?â Su Han looked straight at Lu Shao as his fist tightened under the table.
Even though whatever happened between Su Ran and this man back in the days wasnât any of his business and he shouldnât pry, Su Ranâs abnormal reaction every time that they broached this subject bothered him a lot.
He stopped asking because he did not want to dredge up bad memories for Su Ran. It did not mean that Su Han could stop thinking about it.
He wanted to know how badly she was hurt emotionally back in the days to have turned herâŚ. To have completely given up on herself all these years.
He wanted to know how this shameless man in front of him right now had caused that damage to her.
Lu Shao hadnât noticed the subconscious protective tone in Su Hanâs voice when he asked the question. He merely paused for a little when he heard the question.
What happened back in the days?
Meaning how he was set up by the ones from the auxiliary branch to arrange for a shocking scandal when he was the newly risen authority figure of the Luâs? Or what he had done to those in the auxiliary branch afterward?
Or everything that the young miss of the Suâs had done in order to win over the young master of the Songâs while getting even with her rival in love?
âThatâs not something that you should know,â said Lu Shao coldly. There was no room for negotiation in his voice.
Nothing that happened back then was appropriate to tell to Su Han. He was, after all, just a 13-year-old child right now.
And what would be the purpose of him knowing anyway? Other than making everything more unpleasant for everyone concerned.
That being said, anything that had to do with the Luâs including what he had done to those in the auxiliary branch, he could tell him when he was older. That would be beneficial for his awareness of the danger around him.
As Lu Shao was thinking to himself, he did not notice that he was already contemplating about Su Hanâs future development.
