Chapter 168 Old Friends
Xie Chaoyin and Xie Chaowan returned to the car. Xie Chaoyin asked, "You know her?"
The "she" here naturally refers to Lu Fengqing.
Xie Chaowan truthfully replied, "I'm not quite sure."
All she knew was that Lu Fengqing was Gu Suixing's girlfriend and the eldest daughter of the Lu family; that was all.
She couldn't get into the socialite circle, and she hadn't attended those socialite gatherings for a very long time.
However, that's sometimes how interpersonal relationships are; if you find someone you like, that's enough, there's no need to get to know them too well.
Xie Chaowan asked, "Third Brother, do you think she looks a lot like Yun Si?"
“Very similar.” Xie Chaoyin’s gaze softened, his deep eyes concealing endless longing.
Xie Chaowan hesitated and said, "There are many people in this world who look alike for no apparent reason. What if it's just a coincidence?"
Xie Chaoyin said calmly, "Let it be a coincidence."
Regardless, now that he had finally found a lead, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
For over twenty years, he had accumulated so many things in his heart that he wanted to ask her in person.
Tang Ya told him that Yun Si was a liar who had lied to him, that she had never loved him and was just playing around with him, but he didn't believe her.
He wanted to ask her why she left, and why she broke her promise.
Even though she had married someone else, he still wanted to see her one more time.
Xie Chaowan understood the meaning behind Xie Chaoyin's words and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Even though she is nearly fifty, time has not left any marks on her brother's face. It's as if time has been frozen and stopped. He has just gained a sense of maturity and composure after years of experience, and his temperament has become more serene and humble.
More than twenty years ago, her third brother was the object of desire for all the rich and famous women, and even now, his appearance still attracts countless women to pursue him.
If it weren't for that woman Tang Ya, her third brother wouldn't be living like this now.
Her third brother is such a good person; he should have a happy marriage and be surrounded by children. But now he is all alone, unable to go home, and has no one to care for him.
Suppressing her heartache, Xie Chaowan gently suggested, "Why don't you ask Sui Xing?"
Xie Chaoyin shook his head, "No need."
Things are different now; it's easy for him to check someone's identity information.
-
"Gu, Sui, Xing!"
Lu Fengqing was so angry that her lungs felt like they were about to explode.
I told him to buy Rui Rui a small cake, but I didn't let him buy the whole eight-inch chocolate mousse!
Can a child eat so much cake? Can a patient like him eat so many desserts?
You've gotten too big for your britches just because your son calls you "Dad," haven't you?
...Okay, if Rui Rui calls her "Mom," she'll float away.
Lu Fengqing was very sad, so sad that her heart felt like it was breaking.
The father and son loved each other so much that they would even sit together while eating small cakes. He didn't want her anymore.
A spoon was suddenly placed to her lips.
Lu Fengqing raised her eyelids and met Rui Rui's round eyes.
Rui Rui smiled sweetly at her.
Lu Fengqing felt her shattered heart piece together a little, opened her mouth and ate the small cake on the spoon, "Rui Rui is still the best, unlike some people."
Some people ignored her and ate their cakes slowly and methodically.
After feeding Lu Fengqing, Rui Rui started eating his own food, showing no intention of feeding his father.
Seeing this, Lu Fengqing felt a little better. She snorted, took out her phone, turned on the camera, and snapped a picture of the two of them.
"Oh my god—how can there be such a handsome boy! Mom wants to use this photo as her phone wallpaper, so she can see cute Rui Rui as soon as she opens her phone." Then, "Oops," she exclaimed, "How did you manage to include your ugly dad in the picture too?"
Rui Rui was eating a small cake, her eyes darting around as she looked at her.
Gu Suixing watched her exaggerated performance with a blank expression.
Lu Fengqing used the photo she had just taken as her screensaver. After admiring it for a moment, she still couldn't get enough and exclaimed, "Look at this handsome little guy! None of the child stars on TV are half as cute as Rui Rui. It's a loss for the investors if they don't invite our Rui Rui to make TV shows!"
Gu Suixing scoffed, "It's the investors' loss that the stand-up comedy show didn't invite you."
"..." Lu Fengqing put down her phone and stared at Gu Suixing, "Then you invest in me and help me debut."
It's unlikely she'll become a truly talented actress, but she's still very confident in being a stunning "pretty face" who dominates various ceremonies, galas, banquets, and red carpet events.
Gu Suixing: "Want me to send you to heaven?"
"You can send it." Lu Fengqing raised her chin. "I want to go to the moon."
Rui Rui quietly ate her little cake, watching them argue.
Gu Suixing said slowly, "Going to the moon is out of the question, but going to paradise is possible."
Lu Fengqing met his suggestive gaze and instantly realized what he meant, "..."
What a dog of a man, his head is full of lewd nonsense!
As they left the store, Lu Fengqing suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Becoming a celebrity is out of the question, it's too tiring. I think Rui Rui and I could go on some kind of parent-child variety show, like 'Brave and Great Mom,' what do you think, Mr. Gu?"
The more Lu Fengqing thought about it, the better she felt her idea was. It would be a good opportunity to avoid that scoundrel and allow her and Rui Rui to go out alone and nurture their mother-son bond.
Mr. Gu thought the idea was terrible. "Can you do laundry or cook? Are you going to go up there and teach the audience how to spend money?"
Lu Fengqing: "..." What a jerk!
She's not just good at spending money, she can also write code.
Lu Fengqing wanted to spend more time with Old Master Lu, so after having lunch outside, the three of them returned to the Lu residence.
Lu Fengqing originally wanted to take Rui Rui to the amusement park, but considering that it was summer vacation and those places were too crowded, and Gu Suixing's legs were not fully recovered, she had to give up.
Lu Fengqing: "Let's skip it today. How about we take you to the amusement park after your dad's leg is better?"
Rui Rui nodded obediently, "Okay."
After replying, he moved closer to Gu Suixing and looked at Gu Suixing's leg, which was in a cast.
Gu Suixing patted his head, took out his laptop, inserted the network card, and continued processing emails.
Back at the Lu residence, without Lu Fengqing reminding her, Rui Rui rubbed her eyes and went for a nap.
However, he went to the guest room where Gu Suixing was staying, instead of returning to his own room.
Lu Fengqing turned on the air conditioner for Rui Rui, covered her with the air conditioning blanket, and then went to check on Grandpa Lu. Seeing that Grandpa Lu was also asleep, she did not go in to disturb him.
The servants also have a lunch break, and they are resting elsewhere now, so the living room is quiet.
Lu Fengqing put the unfinished cake in the refrigerator, returned to the living room and sat down next to Gu Suixing. "Aunt Wan said I look a lot like an old friend of Boss Xie."
