Ch 32: Not father and son, but grandfather and grandson; Wen Li: Mr. Lu is single?

Lu Xixiao placed a large hand on the little guy’s head and said to Wen Li, “Jing Yuan is my older brother’s grandson.”

The little guy nodded, his small mouth moving slightly, and said in a childish voice, “Little Grandpa.”

Not father and son?

Grandfather and grandson?

Wen Li looked at the two of them: “Little… Grandpa?”

Lu Xixiao’s generation… was truly quite high.

Lu Xixiao explained, “I was born late, and there’s a big age gap between me and my older brother. My older brother and his nephew married relatively early.”

Wen Li’s thoughts drifted slightly.

—He was famously clean-cut, a golden bachelor, so clean that some people even rumored he was gay.

She thought of Jiang Yingbai’s nonsense: “So…”

So this guy wouldn’t actually be gay, would he?

Lu Xixiao noticed her somewhat strange expression and asked, “So… is there a problem?”

Wen Li reacted quickly, “So I added Mr. Lu’s WeChat?”

The little guy had made her add WeChat that night; that taciturn old stick-in-the-mud grandpa was actually Lu Xixiao?

The old stick-in-the-mud nodded slightly: “It’s me.”

The little stick-in-the-mud nodded along: It was him.

Wen Li understood, then suddenly asked a second later, “Mr. Lu is single?”

Lu Xixiao’s deep gaze fell on her fair and delicate little face. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but he replied, “I’m single.”

His expression was calm, and he asked, “Miss Wen is interested in my private life?” His tone revealed no emotion.

Wen Li: “I’m asking for a friend.”

Lu Xixiao: “Friend?”

“Achoo—”

Jiang Yingbai, in front of his computer, sneezed so hard the earth shook.

He wiped his nose: “Sister Li won’t be in trouble, will she?”

Seeing Lu Xixiao raise an eyebrow slightly, clearly disbelieving.

Afraid he would misunderstand, Wen Li added by way of explanation, “I just think Mr. Lu is quite experienced with children.”

Perhaps because the topic was light, the atmosphere unconsciously eased somewhat. The two were not so antagonistic, and it became easier to talk.

“Mr. Lu has such a decisive and busy personality, yet he helps take care of children at home. That’s rare,” Wen Li said.

Lu Xixiao lowered his gaze, did not respond, and after a moment said to the little guy beside him, “Jing Yuan, go get some snacks for your sister.”

“Mm.” The little guy jumped off the sofa and went to the kitchen.

Wen Li didn’t understand why Lu Xixiao was sending Lu Jingyuan away.

Lu Xixiao then told her, “Jing Yuan’s parents are no longer alive because of a car accident. My older brother and sister-in-law also died in that car accident. Jing Yuan was only two months old at the time, and I raised him.”

Wen Li’s face showed slight emotion; this was unexpected.

However, after Lu Xixiao said this, Wen Li remembered that the Lu Family had indeed experienced such a major event two years ago.

The Lu Family’s eldest son’s family of four all died in a car accident at the same time.

At the time, it caused turmoil throughout Beijing. Jiang Yingbai, who had access to all online information, inevitably paid attention to this matter.

Jiang Yingbai said it wasn’t an accident.

The Lu Family’s subsequent major actions also confirmed that it was intentional.

For a long time after the car accident, companies would inexplicably go bankrupt, business tycoons would suddenly disappear, and political figures would suddenly fall from power.

For a time, the city was in an uproar, including but not limited to Beijing, which was on high alert because of the Lu Family.

The incident affected the military, political, and business circles.

The entire business world was almost reshuffled.

It was then that Wen Li remembered Lu Xixiao’s name.

Jiang Yingbai said all of this was Lu Xixiao’s doing.

The death of the Lu Family’s eldest son’s family in a car accident was no secret in Beijing, so Lu Xixiao didn’t mind telling her.

Wen Li: “Mr. Lu is indeed loyal and righteous.”

In the elite family full of interests, Lu Xixiao’s affection and sincerity in treating Lu Jingyuan as his own child was indeed rare.

The little guy brought over a plate of snacks at this time, placed it in front of her, gave her a shy smile, and turned back to the kitchen to get more.

Jiang Yingbai seemed to have mentioned to her that only the Lu Family’s eldest son’s grandson, who had just been born, was spared because he was in an incubator at the hospital.

It turned out to be Lu Jingyuan.

And the Lu Family’s eldest son’s family of four was in a car accident on their way to the hospital to see the child.

Lu Xixiao showed some genuine emotion: “So I’m truly grateful to Doctor Dawn for saving my life.”

Her thoughts were pulled back, Wen Li looked at him without speaking.

But actually, she really wanted to say to Lu Xixiao: Dawn really wants to kill you again!

“I’m also very grateful to Miss Wen for finding Jing Yuan last time, and I’m very sorry for my attitude towards Miss Wen at the time. Your gift of apology today makes me even more ashamed. Would Miss Wen be willing to stay for a meal as my apology?”

Calling her “Miss Wen” repeatedly, Wen Li didn’t feel it was very polite; she only felt it was insincere, like a big bad wolf.

Wen Li wasn’t worried that Lu Xixiao would discover her identity as Dawn, even if he suspected it.

After all, she was just a high school student.

At most, because of Lu Yu, Lu Xixiao was a little curious about her, coupled with the relationship with Lu Jingyuan.

Before Wen Li could respond, the little guy brought another plate of snacks back, handing her a delicate little cake.

“Miss Wen?” Lu Xixiao took the opportunity to invite her again enthusiastically.

Wen Li held the cake, looked at him, and said, “I have a strong palate.”

Lu Xixiao smiled after hearing this: “I’ll remember that.”

This was the first time Wen Li had seen him smile so obviously. Even though the smile was faint, those deep, unfathomable eyes had a little warmth, making him look much more approachable and genuine.

Wen Li was pulled upstairs by Lu Jingyuan.

Lu Xixiao listened to the footsteps going upstairs, his gaze slowly falling on the several bags Wen Li had brought onto the table. He instructed Lu Wu beside him, “Have Lu Qi investigate the relationship between her, Lu Yu, and Dawn.”

Wen Li was pulled by the little guy to his room where he specifically stored dolls. It was full of his trophies from various shopping malls and doll shops. He had previously taken photos of these dolls and sent them to Wen Li.

Then she was taken to his room.

Wen Li saw two large dolls on his bedside table, the two she had left for him last time. She didn’t expect him to cherish them so much.

After touring the room, the little guy pulled her to the computer, offered her the chair, and stood on a small stool himself. Then he opened a game and wanted to play with her.

Wen Li sat down and replied to Lu Yu’s message on her mobile phone.

When she learned that Lu Xixiao had been shot in the heart, she had already guessed that Lu Yu had taken on the surgery for her. The accident during the surgery was ultimately because of her.

After telling Lu Yu that she was fine, Wen Li continued to open Jiang Yingbai’s messages.

Jiang Yingbai had sent her over a hundred messages, but Jiang Yingbai was always in Do Not Disturb mode for her. Although it took up memory, it wasn’t noisy.

Wen Li only glanced at the latest few messages and replied to him: 【I asked for you, Lu Xixiao is single】

Jiang Yingbai: 【？？？】

Putting away her phone, Wen Li played a two-player game with the little guy.

After a few rounds, it got boring.

Wen Li said to the little guy, “Let you see how adults play games.”

Soon,

Gunfire and killing sounds constantly rang out in the room.

Wen Li was killing it in the game, harvesting kills all the way.

The little guy watched very seriously, his eyes full of admiration for Wen Li. When he got excited, his two little hands couldn’t help but clap.

Lu Ziyan was sitting in front of the computer playing two-player squad with Yu Ji. After a game, he found that the Great God he had been thinking about was actually online.

He quickly tapped the keyboard, sending the Great God several messages in one go, skillfully expressing his care and greetings.

At this time,

He saw the Great God’s always hidden IP address actually displayed.

And it was in Beijing.
