32-year-old Ren Xue'er, single since birth, finally couldn't bear her parents' incessant urging to marry. She agreed to a blind date to marry herself off and escape her suffocating orig...
Lu Tingen calmed down, glanced at the mother and son who were crying beside him, stood up and turned away.
Before leaving, he reminded Lin Yang, "Assistant Lin, hand over all the results of the investigation to Gu Xiao."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
…
In the afternoon, in the living room of Blue Sea Villa.
Mother Lu was sitting on the sofa talking with Ren Xueer when suddenly a maid came running over in a hurry, "Madam, Madam, Young Master Yi Bo has a fever."
"Fever? No way?" Ren Xueer was stunned at first, then she ordered the servant.
"Go call Doctor Ji."
The maid consoled her, "Young Madam, don't worry. I've already called and informed the Young Master."
"Okay, I'll go see him." Upon hearing that, Ren Xueer ran towards the children's room. In that short distance, her slippers fell off no less than three times.
Seeing this, Mother Lu quickly comforted her, "Xue'er, don't panic, it's okay!"
"Mom, I'm a little worried..."
"It's okay, it's okay, mom is here, don't be afraid!"

In the children's room, Lu Yibo, who had a fever, slept very uneasily. Ren Xueer gently wiped his forehead, and was concerned about his expression all the time.
From time to time, she reached out and touched Lu Yibo's forehead, and every time she touched it, the worry in her eyes grew a little more.
"Mom, I..."
Ren Xueer opened her mouth and was about to speak when the door of the children's room was gently pushed open from the outside.
The person who came was Ji Chen.
Seeing him coming, Ren Xueer's face finally showed a hint of smile, "Doctor Ji, please come this way."
Ji Chen was surprised by her politeness, "Okay, let me take a look."
"good."
After a simple examination, Ji Chen skillfully gave Lu Yibo an IV drip. When he stood up, he almost knocked down Ren Xueer who was standing behind him, which scared him so much that he apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cutie, are you okay?"
Ren Xueer looked embarrassed, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a cold voice came over, "Hey, why are you two so close to each other?"
Mother Lu gave him a cold look and said, "You little bastard, your mother is here, what can those two do?"
Ji Chen clicked his tongue and agreed, "That's right, brother, your thoughts are too dirty."
Lu Tingen walked to the bedside, pulled Ren Xueer over with one hand, and stared at Ji Chen in front of him, "Tsk, how is my son?"
"Acute high fever, has this child not been eating well recently?"
"..." Lu Tingen's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "It seems so."
"What do you mean by 'seems'? I can tell you're not a qualified father." Ji Chen tutted and said seriously, "Children with low immunity are prone to catching colds and fevers. You should be more careful in the future!"
Lu Tingen paused, "--Yeah."
Ren Xueer looked at Ji Chen, "Doctor Ji, thank you!"
Ji Chen replied half-jokingly, "I don't accept verbal thanks."
"Ah?" Ren Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Don't worry about that. I won't give you a penny less."
Seeing that she took it seriously, Ji Chen quickly explained, "Little cutie, that's not what I meant."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Chen was hit on the head by Lu Tingen. "Who are you calling a little cutie? Do you think I'm just a decoration?"
"Oh, you're jealous again!" Ji Chen protected his head tightly and said angrily, "When your son gets better, I'm going to give you a big meal. It won't be a big meal."
Before Lu Tingen could say anything, Ren Xueer in his arms readily agreed, "Okay."
Time passed by minute by minute...
That afternoon, Lu Yibo's fever subsided, and Ren Xueer finally felt relieved.
She fed Lu Yibo porridge gently, "Come, son, open your mouth wide."
"Ah!" Lu Yibo obediently did as he was told, swallowed the porridge in one gulp, and patted his stomach, "Mommy, I'm full."
"Okay." Ren Xue'er looked at the empty bowl of porridge and smiled softly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
"Yes." Lu Yibo slid into bed and grabbed Ren Xueer's hand. "Mommy, wait until I fall asleep before you leave."
Ren Xueer's breathing stagnated when she heard this, and she paused, "—Be good, go to sleep, Mommy is always here."
After that, she covered him with the quilt and gently patted his chest over and over again to comfort him.
After Lu Yibo fell asleep, Ren Xueer quietly walked out of the children's room.
As soon as she walked out the door, she heard a noise coming from the living room. She closed the door gently and walked over.
In the living room.
Lu Tingen stood in front of Lu Ting and glared at her seriously, "Tingting, how old are you? Why are you still so tactless in doing things?"
"Brother, what's wrong with me?" Lu Ting raised her head unwillingly, with a complaint in her tone.
"Don't forget, I'm YiBo's biological mother. He's being bullied. Can't I come over to see him?"
Lu Tingen refused to compromise and said in an extremely aggressive tone, "Tingting, no one is stopping you from watching. You are acting so irrationally right now, it will scare the child!"
Ren Xueer was confused and stepped forward to separate the two siblings. "What's going on? The child just fell asleep, why are you two arguing? Do you want me to get two loud speakers?"
"Sister-in-law, please take care of my brother. He won't let me watch YiBo." Lu Ting pulled Ren Xueer's arm and shook it.
"Sister-in-law, you know that mothers love their children. Can you please let me in to take a look at Yi Bo?"
After Lu Ting finished speaking, Ren Xueer's expression suddenly changed. She gently pushed the other person's hand away. Although she was smiling, her tone no longer had the gentleness of the past.
"Tingting, I don't like what you said. First of all, your brother and I never stopped you from watching Yibo;
Second, Yibo is your biological son, and I will never forget this. I will not take away your title as his biological mother, not to mention that I have no intention of hiding it from him, because he has the right to know his life experience more than anyone else.
But, Tingting, ask yourself, over the years, have your brother and I ever stopped you from looking after the children? Have we ever instigated Yibo not to be close to you? Have we?"
Lu Ting quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I was just anxious and said something without thinking. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Ren Xueer's eyes were filled with helplessness, and when she spoke again, her tone was no longer serious, but calm.
"Okay, Yibo just fell asleep, so be quiet when you come in."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law." Lu Ting turned around with a smile, but when she looked up, she met a pair of cold and scrutinizing eyes.
She scratched her head awkwardly and laughed dryly, "Brother, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have yelled at you just now. Please forgive me, your ignorant sister!"
A disappointed smile formed on Lu Tingen's lips. "Lu Ting, I'm warning you, if you dare to speak so recklessly again, I will never let you step into this house again."
Lu Ting raised her right hand and swore, "I'm sorry, brother. I promise it won't happen again."
After saying that, he ran to the door of the children's room in one breath.
However, the next second, I was dumbfounded.
