Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Lu Yanlin thought Jin Man...
Lu Yanlin thought Jin Man would leave soon, but when he saw him sitting by the lake surrounded by Omegas, he was surprised and a little distracted when talking to them.
Mrs. Xin was also at the party, lobbying for investment for the land worth more than ten billion yuan, but Bincheng has always taken the Lu family as its weather vane, and anything he is unwilling to do must not be profitable.
Mrs. Xin walked up to Bai Lin holding a wine glass. They were all friends who grew up together. The old man had a bad temper, but he was very nostalgic.
She smiled and said, "Sister Qiong is too strong-willed, and the younger generation's partner is of such low quality, not up to the standard. She's anxious and angry, so you should go and persuade her more. Among all of us, you're the only one she's willing to listen to."
Bai Lin's mood finally improved a little, but thinking of Lu Yanlin's aggressive attitude towards him just now, he said unhappily: "Forget it, if I can persuade him, I won't offend him."
Mrs. Xin didn't know who he had offended, so she consoled him: "Good advice hurts."
Bai Lin snorted, glanced at Mrs. Xin, and said unceremoniously, "Since you're treating Yan Qiong well, I'd like to kindly remind you that no one else would dare take over your land. Yan Lin has a bad temper. If you want him to come in, you might as well start with his partner. I'm afraid a word from that person is worth a hundred words from me."
"You must be joking."
Mrs. Xin was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face froze, but Bai Lin left after he finished speaking. He was the type of person who never joked.
But Lu Yanlin's partner is the bad-tempered Jin Man, a low-class person whom she looks down upon and offends to death.
She looked around but didn't see the Alpha. Even Lu Yanlin was not in the banquet hall.
…
At the end of the path by the lake is a large area of lush osmanthus trees. Autumn has not yet arrived, the osmanthus flowers have not bloomed, and the trees are covered with emerald green leaves.
Jin Man turned around from the dense green shade and saw a figure waiting by the roadside.
Omega was wearing a well-tailored white suit, his clothes were straight and meticulous. He looked at Jin Man in silence, with a leaf falling on his raven-black hair, as if he had been waiting for him quietly for a long time.
The wind from the lakeside blew over through the layers of rippling waves.
Jin Man felt a dull pain belatedly, as if he had a wound unknown to others. It did not hurt at ordinary times, but when he felt warm and gentle, he would find that his heart had been living in an ice box. The heat coming in was not because the scar was about to heal, but because the disease was too deep to be cured and could no longer be saved.
Only when you experience such good things do you realize that ordinary things are not good.
Lu Yanlin walked closer and saw Alpha's eyes were red from the night wind. He turned his head away, unwilling to show weakness, and only showed Lu Yanlin his profile: "Why are you here?"
"Wait until you get back."
Lu Yanlin said calmly.
Jin Man twitched the corners of his mouth, as if smiling. He looked at the lights in the distance for a moment, then said after a moment, "Let's go."
Lu Yanlin suddenly moved closer, his warm breath brushing against his ear. His slender white fingertips rested on Jin Man's shoulder, his expression indifferent: "It's dirty here."
Jin Man turned his head to the side, but he couldn't see clearly. The shade of the trees was so thick that the stains on his black suit were not obvious.
Lu Yanlin smiled and said calmly, "Don't move."
He stretched out his hand, lowered his eyelashes, and used his white and slender fingertips to unbutton Jin Man's coat one by one. After taking it off, he casually put it on a bench by the roadside. The haute couture suit could not be washed, so he just threw it away when it got dirty.
He undressed himself, and the white suit with a cool fragrance was draped over Jin Man, dispelling the faint scent of Omega perfume on the Alpha.
When I returned to the villa, Lu Zhi was still awake. He was wearing whale pajamas and sitting on the sofa in the living room, drawing.
Jin Man and Lu Yanlin came in one after another, and were a little surprised to see him. Normally, Lu Zhi would have rested long ago.
Aunt Yu stayed with him for half the night and was so sleepy that she said, "Xiaozhi won't sleep. He insists on waiting for you to come back."
Lu Zhi has always been smart and sensible, and would not easily put others in a difficult position. This time he stayed up until late at night, and no one knew what it was about.
He held the blue whale doll and glanced at Lu Yanlin first, then slowly put the doll down and looked at Jin Man: "Dad."
Lu Yanlin took off his tie and said indifferently, "What's wrong?"
Jin Man noticed something was wrong. He walked over, squatted down, gently pinched Lu Zhi's face, looked around, and said seriously: "Xiao Zhi, what's wrong with your face?"
There were three long finger marks on the child's round cheeks. The marks were not deep, but because Lu Zhi had fair skin, they were particularly obvious, as if he had been beaten severely.
Lu Zhi didn't expect that when he was beating the hairless little monkey, he was also caught by the other party, but he couldn't tell Jin Man about this.
His dark eyes were silent and quiet, and Jin Man felt a pang in his heart, so he picked him up and patted him. Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his little hands wrapped around his father's neck and buried in his shoulders.
Children have a slightly higher body temperature, and they feel warm and soft when you hold them. No matter how steady and strong they are normally, they are just kindergarten children. If they are bullied, they will be so scared that they can't sleep.
Lu Yanlin remained calm. He looked at the wound on Lu Zhi's face and saw it was not serious. He said, "Get yourself together and come to me in the study."
Lu Zhi knew that his father was unhappy and nodded: "Yes."
Jin Man applied medicine to Lu Zhi, blowing gently while applying the medicine. Lu Zhi was very quiet. After the application, he returned to his usual calm state, holding the whale doll and going up the stairs step by step.
Jin Man was a little worried and asked Aunt Yu, "Didn't the kindergarten call?"
Aunt Yu said, "Yes, the headmaster personally sent Xiaozhi back. He said it was just a fight between children and it was an accidental thing. Yanlin and you were not here, so the headmaster said that the other parent had agreed to transfer him to another kindergarten and there would be no other problems."
Jin Man was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the problem to be so serious and had already been dealt with.
Aunt Yu asked him, "Don't worry too much. Xiaozhi hasn't finished his meal yet. Manman, do you want to make something for him?"
Jin Man shook his head: "Forget it... He doesn't like it either. Aunt Yu, just cook some noodles for him."
Aunt Yu wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally uttered a soft "eh". Jin Man glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor, but in the end did nothing. He took off his white suit and left the main building in the night.
There is a small garden between the small building and here. It is much quieter than the main building, and the flowers and plants are lush. Jin Man moved there at first for convenience and also because he didn't want to bother others all the time.
But Aunt Yu felt that if they were a little distant from the beginning, how could they become closer?
It’s obvious that human hearts are the hardest to warm.
Jin Man fed the chicken under the sycamore tree. The little hen clucked and proudly contributed two white eggs.
It didn't know that it was born to be eaten by humans, and the ingredients were already prepared when it was given to Jin Man.
A local chicken that doesn't fit in with the Lu Mansion is the only thing that can make Jin Man feel a little more relaxed in this home.
The next day, Lu Zhi took out the invitation to kindergarten on the dining table.
His face was tense, and the fingerprints on it had faded. He handed it to the two fathers politely.
This time, the children's parents were invited to participate in the garden party, and there were no competitions.
Jin Man turned it over and took a look. The invitation was very exquisitely made, with the names of the child's parents written on it. It was a more formal invitation. For various reasons, the words "I don't want to go" came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.
Lu Yanlin asked Lu Zhi: "What do you want to make for the garden party snacks?"
Lu Zhi's face showed a little more expression, and he asked curiously: "Dad, will you participate too?"
Lu Yanlin was very busy most of the time, and he usually wouldn't accept such an invitation, but this time he nodded affirmatively. Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, but he remained restrained and nodded heavily, his calves actually shaking with joy several times: "I will try my best."
In this case, it is undoubtedly the best choice for the family of three to participate together.
The items to be sold at the garden party were cookies. Lu Zhi spent two hours drawing the shape of the cookies, and used crayons to paint a big, beautiful golden sunflower.
Looking at the design, it is actually quite difficult to make. Jin Man made the cookies several times according to the recipe, but the resulting cookies were very strange. Not only did they look ugly, they also tasted a bit too sweet.
Lu Zhi's expression changed from anticipation to expressionless silence. He held the box of failed products and sat on a chair in the restaurant, his calves shaking much less.
Jin Man felt helpless and sighed: "How about letting Aunt Yu do it?"
Lu Zhi lowered his head and did not answer.
When Lu Yanlin returned home, Aunt Yu showed him the packed, horrible-looking cookies.
He was slightly stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Let the restaurant customize it. The park doesn't force every parent to follow the requirements and bring their children with them."
This problem was easily solved. The snacks sent by the high-end restaurant were exactly the same as Lu Zhi's paintings. Golden sunflowers lay in a satin gift box, exuding a light and warm creamy aroma, which was exquisite and expensive.
Aunt Yu breathed a sigh of relief. There was really no way she could let Lu Zhi take that kind of thing to the charity sale at the garden party.
Jin Man had a lot of batter left over, and he didn't want to waste it, so he baked the remaining cookies. Unexpectedly, they turned out quite good this time. Apart from the strange shape, they tasted very delicious.
Aunt Yu ate a small piece, packed the rest and put it in the refrigerator.
Many parents came to the garden party on the day, and it was only when Jin Man saw the dazzling array of exquisite snacks that he realized why Lu Zhi was so unhappy.
That brilliant and rich aroma, a product that is very tempting in both taste and appearance, is sold at an incredibly cheap price.
Parents socialized with their children and tasted with them the charity items brought by other families.
It was called a garden party, but in fact it was a large social event for parents. In this situation, what he made was indeed just a new joke.
But Jin Man thought again, it’s not that those things are bad, they are just not suitable for here.
He himself doesn't fit in here and wants to go back to his home.
