Chapter 120 Photos
While Fang Ning was calling Gu Suixing from the balcony, Lu Fengqing also received a call from Lu Fenghe.
Lu Fenghe asked directly, "Are you planning to acknowledge Rui Rui back?"
It seems they know about the Lu residence.
Lu Fengqing didn't hide anything, "I do want to."
Lu Fenghe asked again, "Why did you suddenly want to?"
Lu Fengqing remained silent.
It wasn't exactly sudden.
I hadn't thought about it before because I didn't dare to, and also because I knew that even if I did, it would be useless. As long as my grandfather was still alive, I would never be able to do it.
Looking back now, it's because... he came back. He hadn't changed. He made her dare to dream again, and she felt that with him there, perhaps it was possible to achieve it.
Lu Fenghe: "No."
Lu Fengqing: "..."
As expected, Lu Fengqing's expression darkened.
Lu Fenghe paused for a moment, then said, "Take him back to the old house when you have time."
Lu Fengqing's eyes lit up.
As if sensing her feelings, Lu Fenghe said, "Don't be too happy yet. You might come in upright but leave lying down."
Lu Fengqing imagined the scene, "..."
When my grandfather first learned that she was pregnant, he was so angry that he wanted to grab a stick and beat her up. Now it's just that he's been late for many years.
That scoundrel wants to be with me before, so he can't escape this beating.
"I won't interfere with your decision, but we can't ignore Grandpa's wishes. Don't forget what you promised them."
Lu Fenghe admits he wasn't a good father. Years ago, he took it upon himself to spread the news that he had an illegitimate child, fabricating a whole set of lies. One reason was to prevent his parents from giving the child away, and the other was because... he had no other choice.
Society is more tolerant of men. He is a man, and moreover, the eldest grandson of the Lu family. He has an illegitimate child, which is different from Lu Fengqing, the Lu family's granddaughter who has no parents, having an illegitimate child. Therefore, even if his parents and the two elders disagreed at first, they eventually acquiesced to his behavior.
It's easier to reunite Rui Rui while he's still young. Once he grows up and realizes he can live well without his parents, it will be much harder to reunite him.
Lu Fengqing said in a low voice, "I know."
Lu Fenghe didn't say anything more. "The Zhang family is going to hold a big full-moon banquet for their eldest grandson in a couple of days. The invitations have been sent over. Pick a few gifts and go there on that day."
Dou Meijuan dislikes socializing, and Wen Ying is also unwilling to attend those occasions. Lu Yuhan only cares about eating, drinking, and having fun and doesn't care about socializing. In the past, Lu Fengqing was the one who went to these occasions.
The Zhang family and the Lu family have always cooperated, and the Zhang family was one of the few that did not take advantage of the Lu family's low point some time ago. The Zhang family is holding a full moon celebration for their grandson, and it is only right and proper for the Zhang family to attend, not to mention that Lu Fengqing and Zhang Qin are old acquaintances with a good relationship.
Lu Fenghe: "Is the money enough?"
“…That’s enough.” Lu Fengqing replied, then asked, “Shall I go by myself?”
Lu Fenghe: "Feng Yang is away on a business trip, and I have to go out tomorrow too. I'm not sure when I'll be back. You take Feng Xu and Feng Yao with you. Dress nicely so people don't look down on you. As for the two of them, just dress as you normally would. Don't worry about them."
Lu Fengqing agreed.
I promised Gu Suixing last night that I wouldn't go out for the next few days, but I didn't expect to break my promise so soon.
Lu Fengqing planned to bring up the matter with Gu Suixing when he returned, but Dou Meijuan's words at the Lu residence suddenly flashed through her mind. Her heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Will Rui Rui come back again?"
Lu Fenghe could hear the worry and fear in his sister's voice, and his heart softened, so he softened his tone: "Don't worry, I'll have someone pick him up next week."
Lu Fengqing trusted her elder brother's words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“However,” Lu Fenghe changed the subject, “you are not allowed to do anything until Grandpa gives in.”
Lu Fengqing hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Okay."
In any case, seeing an opportunity is always better than not seeing one.
As for how to persuade my grandfather...
After hanging up the phone, Lu Fengqing was lost in thought when a familiar male voice came through: "Where's the stuff?"
Lu Fengqing snapped out of her daze and looked at that familiar face.
Fang Ning poked her head out from outside the door and whispered, "She's with Miss Lu."
Lu Fengqing shrugged. "I threw it away."
Gu Suixing looked at Lu Fengqing without saying anything.
Lu Fengqing ignored him, picked up the knitting needles in front of her again, and continued to work on the ball of yarn.
In the afternoon, she suddenly had a bright idea: to have someone go out and buy some yarn so she could knit a scarf and give it to Rui Rui for his birthday.
Gu Suixing raised his hand to signal Fang Ning to close the door, and asked again, "Where are the things?"
Lu Fengqing frowned and put down the knitting needles. "Are you being mean to me?"
Gu Suixing: "..."
Lu Fengqing: "You actually yelled at me!"
Gu Suixing: "No."
Lu Fengqing: "You do!"
Why are you starting to act so unreasonable again? Gu Suixing sat down beside her. "I'm worried about you."
“I’m right here, I haven’t gone anywhere, what’s there to worry about?” Lu Fengqing said, picking up the knitting needles again.
Gu Suixing looked at her for a moment, then asked, "Who sent the package?"
"I don't know. It wasn't written down."
Before Gu Suixing could ask any more questions, Lu Fengqing gestured towards the trash can with her chin, "The packaging bag is in the trash can, get it out yourself."
Gu Suixing certainly couldn't do this kind of work himself, so he raised his voice and called Acheng in.
Fang Ning has left, and Acheng has come to relieve her.
Acheng pulled a package from the trash can, unfolded the delivery slip, and held it out to Gu Suixing.
Gu Suixing glanced at it and said, "Go check."
Ah Cheng responded and left immediately.
The door closed again, and the living room fell silent once more.
Gu Suixing took the knitting needles from Lu Fengqing's hand, stared at the pattern on the coffee table for a moment, and started knitting for her. "Go and get the photo."
Gu Suixing was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing; he had knitted most of the scarf that Lu Fengqing gave him for his sixteenth birthday.
Lu Fengqing knew he wouldn't give up until she showed him the photos, so she had no choice but to take out the small box she had haphazardly stuffed into the coffee table drawer.
The photo wasn't cut into too many pieces, and Lu Fengqing pieced it together in no time.
The woman in the photo, smiling gently at the camera, appears in their line of sight.
Although the woman looked very similar to Lu Fengqing, Gu Suixing recognized her at a glance as not being Lu Fengqing.
They grew up together, and no one knew her better than him.
Gu Suixing looked at the woman in the photo, his gaze lingering on the faint smile on her lips for a few seconds, his brows furrowing slightly. "Mother-in-law?"
“…That’s my mom.” This was actually the first time Lu Fengqing had seen Lu Yunsi’s photo. Noticing Gu Suixing’s strange expression, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Suixing took a while to say, "I just find it strange."
Lu Fengqing remembered that this scoundrel had said he would tell her about her mother when he came back, so she simply crossed her legs and pretended to listen quietly to what he had to say.
Gu Suixing didn't keep her in suspense and told her what was strange. "My dad said that my mother-in-law is a very insecure person, even a bit inferior. Her childhood photos were vandalized, and she has been very resistant to taking pictures ever since. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have this expression."
You shouldn't smile so gently at the camera.
Unless, there's someone standing behind the camera...?
Lu Fengqing had naturally thought of this as well, but she was more curious about another question: "Why is my mother insecure?"
Gu Suixing gave her a deep look, "Because she was born with six fingers."
