Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Lu Zhi nodded lightly and lay down...
Lu Zhi nodded gently, lying on her shoulder without saying a word, his little hands pulling at his whale-shaped backpack, refusing to put it down.
Ms. Yan Qiong touched his head. The child cried for a long time last night and she coaxed him for a long time. But he still didn't look very happy this morning. Although he was unhappy, he still ate breakfast obediently.
Yan Qiong felt sorry for the scratch on his hand and took the initiative to care for him and feed him porridge. Lu Zhi held the spoon and wiped his tears: "Father won't allow it."
Yan Qiong said: "It doesn't matter if he's not here."
Lu Zhi still shook his head, and drank the bowl of porridge slowly and sadly, then went to do his homework.
Yan Qiong looked for a long time and recalled Lu Yanlin's childhood. Although they looked different, their personalities were very similar. Both father and son were equally stubborn and always completed things. The difference was that Lu Yanlin was introverted. He never cried or got angry, and he didn't have much spirit when he was young.
Lu Zhi is much more lively. He can cry, laugh and feel sad. When he is sad, he tries hard to hold it back until his eyes are filled with tears. But when he is angry, he remains calm and composed.
Yan Qiong liked him very much. She arranged the best of everything for Lu Zhi, including food, clothing, and other expenses. As long as he liked it, she would even invite a room full of children to serve as his foil and have them surround Lu Zhi, as long as it could make him happy.
In this case, an internationally renowned piano master is nothing more than a tool to make the child happy.
Mrs. Xin teased him: "Our Zhizhi must be shy. Teacher Wen brought you a gift. Do you want to see it?"
Wen Lusheng is not young, but he is well-maintained and looks much younger than his actual age. The fine lines at the corners of his eyes do not affect his temperament. He took out a beautiful little box from his pocket, squatted down, and held it in front of Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi was holding the whale backpack in silence, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood. Ms. Yan Qiong immediately said, "If Zhizhi doesn't like it, then don't take it. It's okay."
She doesn't care about anyone's emotions. The arrogance of the upper class is a kind of neglect and politeness. There is no need to say bad words. Just subtle expressions and half-smiles are enough to hurt people.
She wasn't targeting Wen Lusheng, there was just no need to be too friendly to him.
Wen Lusheng understood this truth clearly. His family members were also typical celebrities. They were arrogant and cold to others. They lived in a garden high in the sky all their lives. They were the only protagonists in their own lives and were indifferent and lacked interest in others.
The Wen family has a noble background. He was born into such a family and never bowed his head in his life. When he encountered the cold treatment of Ms. Yan Qiong, he did not show a cold face, but still smiled slightly.
But the child was not like his grandmother. He was white and small, with facial features as cute as a little Pinocchio. His eyes and nose were red, and he looked unhappy. But he still reached out and took the box without opening it. He said to him calmly: "Thank you for the gift."
He didn't like the gift, he was just helping him out.
Wen Lvsheng liked the child even more. He smiled and stood up: "Xiaozhi, my name is Wen Lvsheng. You seem sad. I happen to know a sad song. Would you like to listen to me play the piano?"
Lu Zhi held the box like a hot potato; refusing would be rude. Besides, Wen Lusheng was polite, the kind of gentle, organized adult Lu Zhi enjoyed interacting with.
He nodded, and the sound of the melody took him to the piano.
Mrs. Xin said: "Xiaozhi is such a good child. Yanlin is so good at teaching him. No wonder you love him so much."
Ms. Yan Qiong was in a good mood and spoke frankly to Mrs. Xin. She had experienced a lot, and it was normal for others to approach her with ulterior motives. She was also used to dealing with them and returning the favor.
"When Yan Lin comes over for dinner, you can discuss any issues with him. However, I don't understand his business and I can't interfere. Whether you can convince him or not is up to you."
Mrs. Xin was naturally very happy. Ms. Yan Qiong called her son personally, so Lu Yanlin would not fail to come.
Lu Zhi was very depressed at first, but children's emotions come and go quickly, and he had a lot of fun playing with the new piano teacher.
Wen Lvsheng is gentle and humorous, knowledgeable and well-informed. He can not only play the piano, but also many other musical instruments. He has a leisurely and elegant temperament, is natural and harmonious, and seems to be omnipotent.
Even the opening theme song of Lu Zhi's favorite anime, Blue Whale, has his name on it.
"It's the one with the thump thump thump!"
"Yes, Xiaozhi, do you want to try a four-hand piano duet?"
Wen Lusheng had an extraordinary demeanor. Whoever he coaxed in such a friendly way would be very happy. They finished playing happily together and found that Lu Yanlin had arrived.
Jin Man came out of the law firm and asked almost all the questions he should ask.
His documents have always been in order and have been checked several times without any problems. Divorce by agreement is relatively simple. If the relationship between the two parties has broken down and there are no disputes, it will be easy to apply.
Before going out in the morning, he went to the main building, but as expected, he didn't meet anyone.
He also thought about what he should say if he met Lu Yanlin, or what Lu Yanlin might ask, and how he should answer. Fortunately, Jin Man didn't meet anyone.
Jin Man has lived here for five years, but he doesn't feel very familiar with it. He walked around the first floor and saw children's paintings on the wall. There was originally an ink painting here, but it was unfortunately damaged by a thief.
Perhaps because she felt the wall looked ugly when left empty, Aunt Yu hung Lu Zhi's painting here.
Jin Man looked carefully for a while and went upstairs. There were also some of his things in the bedroom of the main building, but not many. After he left, Aunt Yu would collect them and throw them away. Those useless things would not stay in the Lu family for too long. If he collected them without permission, they might become new troubles for others.
He walked to Lu Zhi's door, opened it gently, and placed the washed stuffed rooster next to the crib.
He hoped that he could do better this time than before. He was not a good partner, nor a good father, so as a better person, leaving cleanly and decisively should earn him some praise.
He patted the doll and sat quietly in the room for a while. It didn't take him long to pack all the luggage. He sent out the extra items and packed the rest so that he could pick them up when the time came.
He packed all the luxury goods and placed them on the table in his bedroom, including some small parts, cuffs, collar clips and the like. He was careless when wearing them and accidentally lost a few of them. He couldn't find them, and it seemed that none of the styles were available on the market, so he didn't know how much they would cost.
Jin Man put his own bank card in there. If this was not enough, he would think of other ways to make up the difference.
He felt embarrassed, thought about it, and rummaged under the bed. There was another box there. When he got married, a relative did not survive the winter. Before he died, he left a small piece of gold for Jin Man. It was in the shape of a bean. The craftsmanship was very old, but it was pleasing to the eye. This one should be enough.
Thinking of this, I finally felt relieved.
He lived a very cheap life and developed an ordinary character. He had never experienced any major events and didn't know whether he handled them correctly.
Returning them piece by piece, it was as if he was stripping away all of his life over the past five years, leaving nothing behind. But that wasn't the case. He felt he had made many mistakes, that he was clumsy and unintelligent. He didn't realize he had been forcing himself all along, and that the damage he had caused could never be undone. So, any effort to help others avoid suffering was a good thing.
Jin Man bought some things and took a taxi to the hot spring resort where Ms. Yan Qiong was recuperating.
He had no intention of going in, so he asked the guard to pass it on, but he ran into Xin Mihe at the door. He was driving a convertible sports car and took off his sunglasses in surprise: "Jin Man."
Alpha turned around. His face was very pale, his eyes were calm, and there was no expression on his face. He didn't seem too surprised to see him. He nodded and prepared to leave.
Xin Mihe remembered what the old man Bai Lin said, and his attitude towards Jin Man changed. He closed the car door and put his arm around his shoulder with a smile: "You came to see Xiaozhi, right? You don't know, Brother Yanlin scolded him terribly."
Jin Man struggled but couldn't get free. Xin Mihe said, "He's still injured. Don't you want to go and see him?"
After saying this, Alpha hesitated for a moment, slowly pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, and finally said with a hint of helplessness: "A doctor will take care of him."
Xin Mihe laughed and pulled Jin Man's arm: "Come here, at least go and take a look."
Jin Man touched the amusement ticket in his pocket, which was exchanged for the last biscuit sold at the stall. He hesitated for a moment, and Xin Mihe grabbed him and brought him into the villa.
We probably won't see each other again in the future, so it might as well go and meet now.
Xin Mihe took Jin Man with him and talked to him all the way, but he noticed that Alpha was worried about something and didn't answer anything, just nodded or shook his head, and kept silent about what Xin Mihe asked.
The sound of piano was floating in the villa. Jin Man felt that the melody was very familiar, very similar to the song he heard at the door five years ago.
He followed Xin Mihe upstairs and saw the source of the sound. Lu Yanlin was playing the piano. Lu Zhi was sitting in the arms of a noble and elegant Alpha. He raised his head and kissed him gently. The Alpha raised his eyebrows and looked very happy.
Although nothing was said, that feeling of happiness reached Jin Man's ears through the sound of music.
Xin Mihe was slightly stunned and turned to look at Jin Man.
Jin Man's eyes were quiet. He didn't seem to have any special expression. He was just listening. He was listening intently, but his eyes were empty. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a moment, he asked, "Mr. Xin, what is the name of this song?"
Xin Mihe said a name uncertainly: "Garden of Heart."
Jin Man nodded, his lips trembling a little, as if he was smiling. Xin Mihe wasn't sure what that smile meant, but fortunately Jin Man quickly returned to his usual easygoing demeanor. He thanked Xin Mihe, then smiled and said, "It sounds very nice, but I have to go back now. Please pass the things on."
Xin Mihe subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"
He wanted to ask clearly, but Jin Man had already turned and went downstairs.
