Lu Jianjun didn't notice anything amiss and casually replied, "Xingye is still at home. He's been taking care of him for the past two days. After I go back in a couple of days, the child will stay with me. I'll take him to live at the Meng family's house."
Lu Guozhong paused, then frowned. "You're moving to the Meng family's place?"
Lu Jianjun paused for a moment, then told him about his family situation, "Brother, something's happened at home..."
He told Qin Qiongying about his affair, but since she was the mother of his child, he didn't say it in such a harsh way. He held back a little about Qin Qiongying's malicious intentions towards Meng Fuyan.
“The Qin family was dealt with recently, and she is much more at ease now. After all, she has given birth to three children with me, and I can’t completely disregard the children’s feelings. So I haven’t divorced her yet. After Yanyan leaves, I will go to live with the Meng family, firstly to look after their house, and secondly to take care of Yunji.”
Lu Guozhong was familiar with his younger brother's family situation, so after listening, he remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, "As a leader, managing one's relatives well is also a very important ability. Xingci has done a very good job in this regard. Not everyone in this world has the ability to control themselves. Most people don't know themselves well, are easily carried away, and are prone to self-destruction. At this time, as the head of the family, managing these people well is not a bad thing for them."
Lu Jianjun nodded in agreement. Just when he thought his older brother agreed with his approach, Lu Guozhong changed the subject and said, "But you're busy with work every day. The relationships at the machinery factory are complicated, and it must be very difficult for you to handle them. You spend most of your time at work, right? Where would you find the time to take care of that little guy?"
How could Lu Jianjun doubt his own elder brother? He even nodded in agreement, "It's true that there's not much time to take care of them, but there's nothing we can do about it. They were born into the Meng family and have their own missions. He's still young, and his sister has taken on the heavy responsibility of the family. He can only endure the remaining grievances."
“I will try my best to take good care of him. He knows all the neighbors in the family compound. Many of the children are raised in a free-range manner, so nothing serious has happened.”
Lu Guozhong said casually, "His father didn't love him either. There were so many troublesome people in his family before, and now he only has this one sister left. He must be very dependent on his sister, right? Now that his sister is leaving, did he cry?"
Lu Jianjun nodded again, "He must have cried, but the child is very sensible. He knows he should be obedient, so he stays at home obediently. Now that the Meng family is gone, Yunji really relies on his sister. Even when Wu Guozhu was at home, he trusted his sister the most."
"Then go and bring him along too. Luckily, my sister hasn't gone abroad yet, so we don't have to be separated."
Well……
Lu Jianjun was stunned, seemingly unable to believe his ears. "Brother, what did you say?"
“I told you to bring him along too. He’s a ten-year-old child, it’s normal for him to rely on his older sister. Yanyan hasn’t left yet, has she? There’s no need to separate them at this time.”
Lu Jianjun was a little flustered. "But... isn't Yanyan's matter supposed to be kept secret? Isn't it inappropriate for a child to know such an important thing? Besides, there are many people coming and going in this residential compound..."
"If military family compounds aren't safe, then where is? His sister's situation is just something we're trying to keep quiet about, but it's not something that absolutely needs to be kept secret. Why are you so nervous?"
Lu Jianjun: "..."
No, that's not what you said before, brother.
Lu Guozhong lost his patience and made a decision directly, "I haven't seen Xingye in a long time. Let him come over too. I'll chat with him, give him some pointers on his work, and bring that kid along as well."
"By the way, how's Xingming? He seems to be doing quite well at work lately?"
"Ah? Oh, right, Xingming is indeed very good. He is still young, but his achievements are no worse than his two older brothers were back then."
Lu Guozhong nodded, "Yes, such a good child should be properly nurtured. I'll try to bring him to my side and train him for a few years."
Lu Jianjun: "..."
Watching his older brother's departing figure, Lu Jianjun was completely bewildered.
Before Lu Jianjun could even notify him, Lu Xingye received a call from his dear uncle, "Why didn't you come to Beijing to see me during your vacation?"
Lu Xingye?
“I only found out you had such a long vacation this year when your dad came to visit me. Since you have time, come to Kyoto.”
Being remembered so fondly by his god-like uncle, Lu Xingye was flattered and was about to agree immediately. However, he suddenly thought of Meng Yunji and hesitated for a second, wondering how to make arrangements for Yunji.
In that instant, Lu Guozhong asked, "What's wrong? No time? I heard from your dad that you're at home taking care of the Meng family's children?"
Lu Xingye admired his uncle so much that he never imagined his uncle might have any ulterior motives. He obediently replied, "Yes, our two families have always had a good relationship. Now that there's no one left in his family and Dad has gone to the capital, I've been taking care of him these past two days."
"Then bring him along. It's just a matter of a child eating more. You're not a child anymore. Come here and let me see if you've made any progress."
Lu Xingye was so excited!
Uncle!
My uncle is like a god!
They actually took the initiative to care about me and my career, this is simply... I'm so excited I can't sleep.
Lu Xingye was exceptionally obedient and immediately went to buy tickets for the fastest train, without questioning his uncle's intentions. He thought that his father was also there, and when his uncle called, he had to go. He would have Yun Ji come back with his father in a couple of days.
And so, an excited Lu Xingye and a bewildered Meng Yunji boarded the train to Kyoto.
