“I know that Mr. Jiang might doubt what I said. I’ll explain it to you slowly.”
Song Jia took a deep breath and talked about the most important thing first. “If you’ve investigated the Lu family, you should know that the Lu family adopted a girl before, Lu Zhen.
“After Lu Zhen went to the Lu family, she was used by Lu He as a tool to earn money. She started filming when she was very young and almost didn’t have any time to rest every day. Lu He’s daughter also treated her very badly. Lu Rou snatched that butterfly necklace from Lu Zhen.”
Jiang Fei’s pupils suddenly constricted. Wasn’t that necklace Lu Rou’s? Lu
Zhen, Lu Zhen… Jiang Fei repeated this name in his heart. The image of Lu
Zhen in his mind became clearer and clearer. He originally thought that Lu Rou was his biological daughter, so he did not pay much attention to Lu Zhen.
Now that he thought about it, Lu Zhen’s behavior after seeing him was indeed very abnormal. During the recording of the second episode of “Celebrity Performance Class 2”, Lu Zhen saw him talking to Lu Rou at the door of her dressing room. A strange look appeared in her eyes.
At that time, Jiang Fei didn’t understand, but now, he suddenly understood. It was broken sadness and weakness.
Later on, when Jiang Fei gave Lu Zhen the award, she looked at him with faint tears in her eyes. At that time, he thought that Lu Zhen was too agitated after winning the award. Now that he thought about it, it was clearly a pain and grievance that she wanted to tell him but could only remain silent!
Jiang Fei panted. The corners of his eyes were red. He said hoarsely, “She knows that I’m her father, right?”
Song Jia nodded. ‘Yes, she was the one who told me about this. Ye Xuan is Lu
Zhen’s manager, so I told her about this too.”
Jiang Fei felt his heart begin to ache. He endured his emotions that were about to go out of control and asked anxiously, “Then why didn’t she come to me?
Why didn’t she tell me?”
Song Jia hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to explain it to Jiang Fei. In fact, he could not completely understand Lu Zhen’s thoughts. He only had some guesses. “I’m not sure why she didn’t go to you earlier. Maybe she had no way of contacting you. Or maybe she didn’t think she was good enough.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Fei was stunned.
“Lu Zhen is an artist from my company. In my opinion, she’s a very hardworking girl, but there’s no pride in her at all. She’s mature and sensible, not like an 18-year-old girl. Moreover… Perhaps because she’s experienced a lot of bad things, she has some trauma in her heart. She never reveals those scars. No matter what, she chooses to bear it herself.’
Sighing, Song Jia continued, “l feel that Lu Zhen’s personality makes her very clear-headed and brave in her career. However, she also has a sense of evasion and inferiority. Perhaps she feels that she’s not good enough, so she doesn’t dare to look for you.
“In addition to her work, she’s been preparing for exams. She’s trying to make herself better. Maybe she thinks that’s the only way you won’t feel guilty for missing out on her life when she comes to you. She wants to tell you that she’s had a good life over the years, and that she’s become an excellent person.”
At this point, Song Jia saw the man opposite him clench his fists tightly. His eyes were red, and his chest was heaving violently. “Silly child… silly child…”
Jiang Fei’s voice was choked, and he could barely speak the complete syllables.
At this point, Jiang Fei even forgot to ask Song Jia for “evidence”. His heart told him that what Song Jia said was true. “Mr. Song, please tell me more about her. Please.” Jiang Fei’s tone was pleading. The noble and elegant man in front of the camera was as fragile and helpless as a child.
“Mr. Jiang, don’t be anxious. As long as I know, I’ll tell you.” Song Jia looked at Jiang Fei and felt a little upset. He took out a piece of paper from the tissue box and handed it to Jiang Fei.
Jiang Fei took a few deep breaths before barely calming down. Looking at the calm Song Jia, Jiang Fei felt a trace of relief. He held a tissue and smiled bitterly. “How can there be a father like me in the world? I lost my daughter for more than ten years. When we met again, not only did I not recognize her, but I even treated others as her. If I were her, I would definitely hate this father to death.’
“No, she never hated you. It’s just that she was indeed very sad to see you treat others as your daughter.” Song Jia’s heart ached when he thought of how Lu Zhen had always been in a daze and kept silent all those days..
