Chapter 144 Vast and Unpredictable
The next morning
Gu Yihan opened her eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar bedroom for a moment.
It took me a while to realize that I was in Beijing.
He raised his hand to rub his eyes, sat up, looked around the bedroom, but couldn't find Lu Huailin. He then threw back the covers and got out of bed.
When Gu Yi came downstairs, before she even reached the living room, she heard Lu's mother's hearty laughter.
"Grandma, what Miaomiao told you is true, you're not allowed to laugh at me."
The little girl's sweet, childlike voice reached Gu Yihan's ears.
Lu's mother's gentle voice rang out: "My granddaughter is amazing."
"He inherited the genes of our Lu family. Even at such a young age, he was able to beat that fat kid Fang Jiye to a pulp."
Lu's mother laughed until tears almost came out. She didn't believe that her six-year-old granddaughter could beat ten-year-old Fang Jiye.
The little girl, Miaomiao, got angry and turned her head away, refusing to look at Lu's mother. She happened to catch a glimpse of Gu Yihan coming downstairs.
Lu Huailin looked at his little niece, his eyes full of smiles.
Following her gaze, I looked up and saw my wife standing at the top of the stairs.
He strode forward, carefully took Gu Yihan's hand, and asked with a smile, "Wife, are you hungry?"
Gu Yihan gazed at the little girl nestled in Lu's mother's arms, wearing a pink cotton coat. This color clearly indicated that it was a best-selling item from the Friendship Store, and it wasn't cheap.
The little girl had a chubby, round face and wide, curious eyes, looking at herself.
Lu's mother was amused by her granddaughter's expression and gently patted her head: "Miaomiao, quickly call her Second Aunt."
The little girl, Miaomiao, with her big, round eyes wide open, covered her mouth with her hands and said, "Second Aunt, you are so beautiful, much prettier than Auntie."
Looking at her adorable little face, Gu Yihan couldn't help but soften her heart.
He walked over to little Miaomiao, bent down and gently pinched her cute little nose, and said with a smile, "Miaomiao is cute too."
The little girl, Miaomiao, casually touched Gu Yihan's belly, blinked her eyes, and said in a childish voice, "I know you are my second aunt's."
Lu Huailin deliberately moved closer to his wife and smiled ingratiatingly.
Then, turning to her little niece, she said, "Miaomiao is so amazing! She's never even met her aunt, yet she already knew all along."
Miao Miao sensed Lu Huailin's distrust and withdrew her small hand from Gu Yihan's stomach.
She turned around and put her arms around her mother's neck, saying in a muffled voice, "My aunt said that the little brother in your belly will steal my things."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan immediately stopped smiling and lost all interest in teasing Miaomiao.
She walked straight to the sofa opposite and sat down, looking coldly at the little girl sitting in Lu's mother's arms, without saying another word.
Gu Yihan knew very well that she was taking her anger out on others, but there was nothing she could do; no one was more important than the child in her womb.
Children are the only treasures in the world that are connected to us by blood.
Lu Huailin's face turned cold, his pupils filled with icy intent, and he strode over to sit down next to his wife.
Holding Miaomiao, Lu's mother was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, and her smiling face instantly turned cold.
I simply put my granddaughter on the sofa and let her sit by herself.
He stood up and shouted towards the study on the second floor, "Lu Huaixu."
Second-floor study.
Mr. Lu and his elder brother were talking when they heard Mrs. Lu shouting.
They glanced at each other and then left the study one after the other.
Brother Lu quickly went downstairs and looked at his mother with a puzzled expression: "Mom, is something wrong?"
Mother Lu clutched her chest in anger and shouted, "Look at your wife's family! What kind of people have they raised Miaomiao to be?"
The little girl was terrified by Lu's mother's series of actions; she didn't know why her grandmother was suddenly angry.
But I can keenly sense that I no longer like myself.
"Waaah... Daddy, Grandma doesn't like me..."
With tears streaming down her face, Miao Miao looked at Brother Lu, her little arms outstretched, wanting a hug.
When Brother Lu saw that his daughter was crying in fear, he rushed forward and picked her up.
She complained, "Mom, what's the big deal that you have to get angry in front of the child? Didn't you see how scared Miaomiao was?"
As he spoke, he gently coaxed his daughter, who was crying loudly, "Miaomiao, don't cry, it's all Daddy's fault."
Miaomiao cried and shouted, "Waaah... I want my mommy, I don't like grandma anymore."
Hearing Lu's elder brother's reproachful tone, Lu's mother's chest heaved with anger.
Mr. Lu walked to Mrs. Lu's side, gently patted her back, and asked with a cold face, "What exactly happened?"
Lu Huailin coldly watched the farce unfolding at home, carefully holding his wife's hand.
Looking at Brother Lu, he snorted coldly, "Brother, you should ask Miaomiao properly."
Brother Lu held his daughter, pacing back and forth in the living room, trying to comfort her.
Hearing the sarcastic remarks, Lu Huailin couldn't control his temper either: "What? Miaomiao is not even six years old yet, has she offended you?"
A mocking glint flashed in Lu Huailin's half-closed eyes: "So insignificant? Does that mean your father-in-law's whole family is insignificant?"
Seeing his two sons about to clash, Mr. Lu's face darkened, and he roared, "Shut up!"
Mrs. Lu was heartbroken. She grabbed Mr. Lu's arm and sobbed softly, "What sins have I committed to give birth to two such troublesome children?"
"We finally managed to get the whole family together and wanted to have a good New Year, but it turned out like this."
Her eyes were full of disappointment as she looked at Brother Lu: "Your wife's family members are talking nonsense in front of Miaomiao."
"Is it human to say that Xiaohan's unborn child will steal her things?"
Brother Lu paused, holding his daughter Miaomiao in his arms. "This has nothing to do with Miaomiao. She's just a child. What does she know?"
"If the child really had any bad intentions, would he be repeating what you say?"
After saying that, Brother Lu fell silent, and the only sound in the living room was faint sobbing.
She cried herself to sleep, and then Brother Lu carried her upstairs to the second floor.
Before leaving, he gave Lu Huailin and his wife a cold look and said, "I'll come down later and we'll talk about this."
After noticing his elder brother's gaze, Lu Huailin gripped his wife's hand tightly and snorted coldly.
As Lu's mother pointed at her eldest brother's departing figure, tears began to stream down her face again.
Turning to Mr. Lu, she said, "Look at his attitude!"
Seeing that Lu's mother had started crying again, Lu's father tried to comfort her, saying, "Why are you crying? Why are you meddling in the children's affairs?"
Lu's mother looked at Lu's father in disbelief. Not only did he not help her, but he also made sarcastic remarks: "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for the sake of the children and the harmony between the brothers?"
Mr. Lu helped Mrs. Lu and pressed her down on the sofa: "You're just asking for trouble. The children have their own families now, let them handle it themselves."
"You've interfered between the two of them, which has changed the nature of the situation."
Lu's mother slapped Lu's father's arm: "You men are heartless, you have no idea what it's like for us women to suffer."
