Ch 16: The naive and sweet Lu Ziyan

After two phone calls, Lin Yun saw that the situation was not good,

and asked her daughter: “You said earlier that Wen Li didn’t know what methods she used to deceive Song Zhixian and the others, do you know something?”

Wen Baixiang did not speak, but waited to see what evidence Wen Xin could produce.

“That question was not done by her at all. She skips class and plays hooky all the time, plus Mingcheng’s educational resources, how could she possibly do a question that even Zhixian gege couldn’t do?”

Wen Xin refused to believe that Wen Li could be more capable than her or even Song Zhixian.

Wen Baixiang said with a cold face: “This is your evidence? So you slandered her in class and blocked her in the restroom?”

Facing her stern father, Wen Xin dared not act presumptuously: “Dad, I didn’t… it’s just impossible for her to be more capable than Zhixian gege.”

Lin Yun chimed in: “Xinxin has already said that she only went to ask her to clarify, she didn’t intend to do anything to her at all. It was Wen Li who was vicious and attacked Xinxin.”

Wen Baixiang said sternly: “Didn’t you hear what her Class Teacher said just now? Even if she didn’t intend to do anything to Wen Li, she was also wrong in this matter.”

“Even if Xinxin shouldn’t have said she cheated, she couldn’t have beaten Xinxin like this. You are just favoring her, Xinxin is also your daughter.” Lin Yun’s tears welled up, “She grew up by your side since she was young, no one ever touched a hair on her head, and now look at her…”

Wen Baixiang looked at Wen Xin, whose face was half swollen and whose eyes were red from crying, and said helplessly: “Wen Li’s actions were wrong, and I will find a chance for her to apologize to you later.”

Lin Yun couldn’t believe it: “Apologize? That’s all…?”

“This matter ends here!” Wen Baixiang said forcefully.

Lin Yun was able to marry into the Wen Family because her Bazi could bring good fortune to Wen Baixiang. Her family background was far inferior to the Wen Family, and for all these years she had been playing the role of a virtuous wife and mother, so that Wen Baixiang could help her family more.

So before this, she had not, and dared not, disobey Wen Baixiang.

Every time Wen Baixiang’s face darkened, Lin Yun dared not speak again.

Seeing his wife quiet down, Wen Baixiang softened his tone: “Call a doctor to come and see Xinxin.”

He looked up towards the second floor.

Earlier, his wife had guessed that Wen Li was able to enter No.1 Middle School because she had taken some crooked path, and he had been worried, but now knowing that it was Song Baiyan who had helped, Wen Baixiang was somewhat relieved.

He just didn’t know how Wen Li, who had always lived in Mingcheng, had gotten to know Song Baiyan and his grandson, and their relationship seemed to be quite deep.

Wen Baixiang looked at the second floor, not knowing what he was thinking.

The villa finally became quiet,

outside the door, Wen Yan, who had returned without anyone knowing when, silently listened clearly to everything that had happened in the villa…

Friday,

in the evening,

Lu Family Manor, Lu Xixiao’s residence—

Little Guy Lu Jingyuan sat at the long dining table, poking at the food on his plate with a spoon.

A table of exquisite and delicious dishes, he didn’t want to eat a single bite.

Seeing this, Lu Wu went over and took the food and spoon: “Let me feed you, Young Master.”

The food was brought to his mouth, but the little guy remained silent and refused to open his mouth.

“Fifth Master is busy, he will be back later.”

Lu Wu, a rough and tough man, usually couldn’t say a few words, let alone take care of children, this job was really difficult for him.

Although he was only responsible for the little guy’s safety, he couldn’t ignore this situation.

Lu Wu was about to call a maid.

A head poked in from outside the door, looking inside furtively: “Fifth Uncle isn’t here?”

Lu Wu: “Master Ziyan, Fifth Master is still at the company.”

Hearing that Lu Xixiao was not there, Lu Ziyan immediately let loose, dashed in, and went straight to the little guy.

“Little Jingyuan~”

“Let Little Uncle give you a kiss.”

Lu Ziyan picked up the unhappy little guy and gave him a series of kisses. The little guy couldn’t resist at all, his little face was kissed out of shape.

He pushed Lu Ziyan with his small hands, but to no avail. Lu Ziyan was like an addict, he couldn’t stop.

After kissing enough, Lu Ziyan let go of him, holding the child in one arm and picking up chopsticks with the other to eat by himself.

He fed the little guy, the little guy turned his face away, wiping the saliva from his face. His already low mood was further aggravated by this, and he was on the verge of tears.

Seeing that he wouldn’t eat, Lu Ziyan put it in his own mouth.

“Are you full or what?”

Lu Wu: “He hasn’t eaten a single bite.”

Lu Ziyan glanced at the messed-up food in Lu Wu’s hand, and then at the gloomy little guy.

He asked: “Wu ge, when will my Fifth Uncle be back?”

Master Lu had five sons, and his descendants were numerous.

Lu Xixiao was the youngest, a late-in-life son.

Lu Ziyan was Lu Xixiao’s youngest nephew.

Little guy Lu Jingyuan was the grandson of Lu Xixiao’s Older Brother. According to generation, the little guy calls Lu Xixiao Fifth Grandpa.

The three of them, all have different generations.

Lu Wu: “Fifth Master is in a meeting, it should be after ten o’clock.”

Lu Ziyan’s eyes lit up, he gently bounced the little guy: “Little Uncle will take you out to eat, how about that?”

“After that, I’ll take you to catch dolls, don’t you like playing that? Let’s catch a bunch. Remember Ji Yu gege from last time? Let’s find him to go together.”

“Wu ge, I’ll leave this table of food to you, don’t waste it, I’ll take Little Jingyuan out to eat.”

Lu Wu: “I have to follow.”

“Oh, don’t worry, nothing will happen, we’re just going out to eat and play, we won’t run around.”

Lu Ziyan carried the child and ran out.

Soon he drove the car out of the manor.

Night gradually fell.

Lu Ziyan turned on the car’s music: “Let Little Uncle play you a super nice little frog song~”

The cheerful and childlike prelude began.

Lu Ziyan sang along while driving: “The happy pond is planted, dreams become the ocean

Big eyes and big mouth, singing just as loud

Lend me a pair of small wings, I can fly to the sun

I believe, miracles are on me

Lala lala lala

Lala lala lala

…”

He sang excitedly, his body swaying gently.

The little guy in the back seat looked straight ahead, listless.

The front seat was singing and dancing, lively and boisterous, while the back seat was deathly silent, like two separate spaces.

An incoming call interrupted Lu Ziyan’s self-entertainment.

“It’s your birthday today? Now? I don’t have time now.”

“Tell me where you are first, I’ll see if it’s convenient.”

“Ti Lan Bar… alright, I’ll go there.”

After hanging up the phone,

Lu Ziyan discussed with the little guy: “A friend of Little Uncle’s has a birthday, and there’s a lot of delicious and fun stuff there. I’ll go say happy birthday to him, and then we’ll go play nearby, how about that?”

“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as you agree.”

Lu Ziyan drove the car to the outside of the bar.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to ask the little guy: “Do you want to go in with Little Uncle? There’s cake to eat.”

The little guy tried to raise his little head to look inside the bar, then shook his head. In the little guy’s eyes, it was no different from a haunted house.

“Then you wait for Little Uncle in the car, I promise I’ll be back in five minutes, be good~”

Lu Ziyan got out of the car, crossed the road and entered the bar.

The little guy stayed alone in the car, his mood remained low.

He got up, changing from sitting to kneeling, leaning on the car window, looking expressionlessly at the people coming and going on the road outside, as the lights came on.

The feeling of loneliness became even stronger.

At this moment, he missed Lu Xixiao very much.

Just as his emotions were about to collapse, he suddenly saw a slender figure walking out of a pet shop across the road…
