Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Aunt Yu happened to catch a glimpse of Jin Man's...
Aunt Yu quickly said, "Oh, Manman, didn't you make this specially?"
She meant well, and seeing that the two of them were silent, she subconsciously tried to give Jin Man a way out.
No matter how cold the atmosphere is, as long as Alpha can no longer hold back and speaks first, the icy atmosphere will naturally ease.
The table suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the man chewing quietly.
After a moment, he put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes and looked over calmly. In the sunlight, his fair and handsome face seemed to glow, and his leisurely look was full of nobility.
Even the three-inch bean-sized child next to him looked over with a chubby face.
Jin Man couldn't say it. A bowl of egg custard was a cheap way to express his apology, but he didn't know how to say those nice words.
In the past, he didn't feel guilty when being stared at like this, because he had love and affection as a protective shield. But now he's not sure if he has that thing, it's just that he was overthinking it.
Jin Man showed a rare concern. He shook his head and said, "No, I just want to eat it myself."
Aunt Yu said: "Well, but..."
Jin Man opened the lid and started eating. He accidentally burned the tip of his tongue, making a hissing sound.
A cup of warm water was placed in front of him. He looked up at Lu Yanlin without saying a word.
Lu Zhi looked at the eaten egg custard with disappointment. His face was tense and he couldn't find the right adjective to describe this Alpha who was busy eating and avoiding communication. He whispered, "I'm full," and went back to his room.
After the two of them finished their breakfast quietly, they went to work.
This time, Lu Yanlin didn't have to work so early, so the whole family got in the car together to send Lu Zhi to kindergarten.
Lu Zhi held the tablet and looked at Jin Man quietly, but Jin Man didn't look at him and had no intention of talking to him. Usually, Jin Man would ask him how he was doing in kindergarten, all boring topics, but suddenly he stopped asking, and Lu Zhi felt empty inside.
He lay on Lu Yanlin's lap and looked at the picture album. Lu Yanlin didn't say anything. Both the big and the small were very quiet, with only the sound of Jin Man changing positions from time to time.
Although the two people had been in a cold war for more than ten days, the atmosphere in the car was still normal and some daily conversations were completely possible.
Jin Man: "Is Ms. Yan Qiong okay?"
Lu Yanlin: "Don't worry."
Jin Man: "Aunt Yu said that the Lu Mansion received an invitation to the cocktail party. The assistant should have told you that the date is tonight."
Lu Yanlin said calmly: "I will be back soon."
Lu Yanlin is not the kind of person who would gently ask how things have been going recently, or talk endlessly about the past.
He never explained to Jin Man about his use of inhibitors, and Jin Man stopped asking questions. When he saw the inhibitor patch on the back of his neck, he remained calm and didn't even have any doubts, as if he had tacitly agreed that he could decide on his own about the fever period in the future.
The kindergarten gate was full of luxury cars, and Lu Yanlin's black car was not conspicuous. Lu Zhize stuck to Lu Yanlin from the beginning, deliberately acted coldly towards the other father, and got out of the car by pulling Lu Yanlin's sleeve.
Many parents here knew Lu Yanlin, so polite greetings with smiles were inevitable. Even their own children tried hard to act like sensible and well-behaved children, holding Lu Zhi's little hand affectionately.
Lu Zhi was a little annoyed, but he maintained the same politeness on his face. However, as soon as he entered the kindergarten, he pushed the other person away with disgust, and his face was as cold as ice.
It is not surprising that children are left behind. Logically speaking, children of this age do not understand anything, but the children here develop professional awareness too early. They know what each father does, whether he is in politics or business, and whose family is not clean enough. They can talk about everything in detail.
Although Lu Zhi has a powerful father, he also has a not-so-powerful one.
So when it comes to private comparisons, he is always inferior to others, not to mention that the man who always welcomes him with candied haws at the kindergarten gate has almost become a laughing stock among other children.
"I heard that powerful omegas like to keep alphas. Compared to those young masters from famous families, these people have less to do and don't know much. They will be grateful if they are given a little sweet thing."
"Ah, isn't that the same as being a servant?"
"That's right. By the way, Lu Zhi, why doesn't your father have a job?"
"Do I help you clean the piano at home?"
These kids are quite smart. When they say it with a smile and an innocent look on their faces, others will just think it is a joke.
Lu Zhi's eyes were cold, as if he didn't care about such ridicule.
During a group activity, the child sneaked back to the classroom to play with toys. He was feeling very proud of himself when he was suddenly knocked down by a sturdy blue whale bag.
"Hello!"
Lu Zhi jumped up and pressed on him like a bowling ball full of energy.
"If your father hadn't taught you to talk, your whole family would have moved to the zoo."
"Oh, I forgot, you don't have a father."
The child was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears. Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows, swung his chubby fist, and slapped the child in the face: "Shut up, don't cry!"
He had gone against the teachings he had received since childhood, completely losing his grace and composure, his hair and clothes ruffled, clinging to the other person like a koala:
"You're a hairless monkey with an empty head and eyes the size of jelly beans. You'll never graduate from kindergarten in your lifetime."
"No one likes you at all."
"Your father doesn't want you either."
The children couldn't scold him or hit him, and faced with such a terrible personal attack, the kindergarten was crying loudly and was about to collapse.
When the teacher heard the crying and ran in, he only saw a little kid sitting on the floor of the classroom crying loudly.
Lu Zhi went to the bathroom to wash his hands and returned to the group activity from the corridor on the other side.
If you use standards that are different from those of ordinary people to measure another father, he is not good in any way.
Not only does he not have a striking appearance, his personal abilities are also hard to describe. All the gifts given to him are very ordinary and he doesn't particularly like them. Recently, even the occasional little surprises and the non-annoying feedings have disappeared.
The dad of the little tail boy in the class is an operator who appears on TV, handsome and elegant.
But he only needs one such great father.
…
Lu Yanlin returned to the car. Jin Man was sitting on the other side of the car with his arms folded. "Did that guy go in?"
He has been acting weird lately, finding all kinds of excuses not to let him go. It just so happened that Jin Man had to have surgery and was away for ten days. After he came back, not only did this guy not miss him, but his inexplicable illness was not cured. He simply followed the kid's wishes and did not go out to see him off.
Lu Yanlin nodded: "Now that you're out, let's go to the hospital for a re-examination."
Jin Man quickly rejected it: "No, why would I see a doctor for a minor cold?"
Lu Yanlin tilted his head slightly: "So you were hospitalized for more than ten days?"
Jin Man said awkwardly, "A cold won't kill you."
Lu Yanlin remained silent, his long eyelashes drooping, making people feel that he was worried about something, but the words he said were quite cold: "It's up to you."
The driver started the car, first took Lu Yanlin to the company, and then took Jin Man back to Lu Mansion.
The evening banquet was held in a beautiful mountain villa in the suburbs.
In recent years, these bigwigs have been pursuing a return to nature, and it has become popular to taste white wine, drink tea, and enjoy farm stays.
Things like caviar and sea fish sashimi are basically nowhere to be seen, but people are very fond of local specialties.
However, those seemingly ordinary traditional dishes, after going through the process one by one, the prices have increased instead of decreased, and it is definitely something that only people with a lot of free time and money can make.
Jin Man and Lu Yanlin attended the banquet together, avoiding the crowd and going directly to meet the host of the banquet.
The other party was an old man over fifty years old, wearing a white Tang suit and a pair of light-colored sunglasses. Needless to say, his appearance was naturally good-looking. When he was young, he often made the headlines of gossip news. What was rare was his aura and serious expression. Just sitting there, he gave people a feeling of being unfathomable.
He is Yan Qiong's old friend. After hearing about Jin Man's deeds, he did not treat him well. He was just a useless man who was clinging to the rich and powerful Omega.
So when Lu Yanlin went out to get the wine, he said bluntly: "Young man, don't you feel ashamed and vulgar to behave like this?"
Jin Man was baffled by the scolding: "What?"
Bai Lin snorted and chided him, "For someone like you who has neither ability nor career, you should at least show some basic respect to your elders, if not filial piety! Simply kicking a poor Omega lady out of her home is something only an uneducated Alpha would do."
“Sometimes, don’t be complacent just because you’ve made it to the upper class.”
"Lu Yanlin chose you for convenience and safety at best. If you're so ignorant, it's only a matter of time before you're disliked!"
Jin Man couldn't bear it any longer: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
The old man was choked by this and his eyes widened: "You!"
Jin Man looked straight at him. The handsome man, who was always smiling, became frighteningly cold when he got angry. "People like me wouldn't say bad things to strangers I've never met. You curse so happily, so smugly and self-righteously. Are you speechless when you're scolded?"
The old man was so angry that his blood pressure rose. "You shameless omega seduceer, do you know who I am?"
Jin Man retorted, rolling up his sleeves: "I don't care who you are!"
The old man hadn't heard such arrogant words in thirty years. He was so angry that he trembled all over: "Believe it or not, I can make sure you can't survive in Bincheng at any time. I won't even hire you as a dishwasher!"
Jin Man sneered: "Then you can go and raze the Lu Mansion. My career happens to be a full-time father."
The old man shouted, "Besides seducing an Omega, what else can you do with your guts!"
The veins on Jinman's forehead were throbbing.
This kind of atmosphere certainly wasn't conducive to pleasant conversation. As other guests found their way to the living room one after another, they saw this scene.
Fortunately, Lu Yanlin appeared and everyone's attention was focused on him again. He was quite calm, separating the two men who were on edge and standing in front of Jin Man. The old man was of course unwilling to give up, but he noticed that after Lu Yanlin appeared, the daring bastard became like a saw-mouthed gourd, tilting his head and saying nothing, no longer looking fierce, and obediently let himself be led away.
The clusters of wisteria flowers outside the windowsill are incredibly beautiful.
Jin Man turned his back to Lu Yanlin, leaving him with only his round head and two white ears.
He looked out the window. The lake reflected the sky full of stars, which was so beautiful that it was indescribable.
The person who used to be straightforward has also learned to be patient. He is obviously very angry, but he is unwilling to say a word. His forced calmness makes people want to reach out and gently stroke his fluffy hair.
Jin Man was rubbed and turned around in surprise: "What are you doing?"
He said unhappily, "Don't touch me."
Having said that, you can still touch his ear, from the ear bone to the earlobe, before he rejects you in anger and brushes your hand away rudely.
In such a quiet atmosphere, Lu Yanlin suddenly said: "Manman, you go back first."
Jin Man was stunned. He opened his mouth and finally explained with a stiff upper lip: "I didn't mean it just now. He said something very unpleasant and I cursed back..."
"Is that so?" Lu Yanlin nodded gently and smiled: "I understand. Let's go back and see Lu Zhi first, okay?"
The air was silent for a long time.
Jin Man never hides anything, but when facing this person, he never seems to know what to say.
He felt like he had a mouth, but he couldn't speak clearly.
