Song Gang quickly picked up Ping An, then glanced towards the gate and saw Jiang Yue standing at the back door of the villa across the street, looking at him with a half-smile.
Song Gang immediately felt his scalp tingle.
Is your sister-in-law angry?
It must be...
"Uncle Song, Dad..."
Seeing that Song Gang was holding her without moving, Ping An couldn't help but urge him on.
Why doesn't Uncle Song take me to find my dad?
"dad!"
Ping An's clear, crisp voice rang out in the courtyard, landing right in Lu Jingnian's ears as he stepped out of the elevator. His heart was struck by the crisp sound, feeling a pang of pain mixed with a soft, gentle tenderness.
Song Gang carried Ping An in, and Ping An immediately saw Lu Jingnian coming out in a wheelchair. She stretched out her arms and called out to him, "Daddy, Daddy..."
She knew Lu Jingnian because Jiang Yue would show her and Gui a picture of Lu Jingnian every day, telling them that this was their father.
Ping An looked at Lu Jingnian and thought, "Dad looks exactly like the photo!"
Struggling out of Song Gang's arms, Ping An immediately ran to Lu Jingnian and threw herself into his arms.
"dad!"
His daughter's small, soft body snuggled into his arms, instantly bringing tears to Lu Jingnian's eyes. He nervously supported Ping An, feeling somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to hold her.
Song Gang watched as Ping An happily hugged Lu Jingnian's leg, her little face tilted up and her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lu Jingnian. He was so touched by her cuteness that his heart melted. Why wasn't he so lucky to have such a lovely daughter?
"Big brother, I heard that your sister-in-law sends Ping An and Gui a picture of you every day, so Ping An recognized you as soon as he saw you."
Look how happy she is to see you! Go and hug her.
Upon hearing Song Gang's words, Ping An nodded very seriously to Lu Jingnian, "Daddy, hug me!"
Although she didn't know why her father was sitting instead of standing up to hug her, she really wanted a hug from him. Her father's embrace was warmer than Uncle Pei's, and she liked it very much.
Looking at his daughter's expectant face, Lu Jingnian carefully picked up Ping An, as if he were holding some rare treasure, his heart trembling with nervousness.
"dad."
Ping An was held in Lu Jingnian's arms, hugging his neck tightly, calling out "Daddy... Daddy" repeatedly.
She was still young and didn't have a large enough vocabulary to know what to say to Lu Jingnian, so she just wanted to call him "Dad".
"Dad's here!"
Lu Jingnian's voice was choked with emotion. Ever since he learned that he had a daughter, he had dreamed of holding her. Now that he was actually holding Ping An in his arms, Lu Jingnian still felt a little unreal.
Ping An snuggled in Lu Jingnian's arms for a while, then looked up at him and asked, "Dad, why aren't you going home?"
"Mom, brother, grandpa and grandma all miss you so much, and Ping An misses you too."
Why don't you go home and live with your dad, who lives so close to them?
Ping An couldn't understand this question.
When Song Gang heard Ping An's question, he looked at Lu Jingnian with a hint of schadenfreude. It was a good question, and he wanted to hear how his eldest brother would explain it to the child.
Lu Jingnian ignored Song Gang and looked at Ping An, who answered seriously, "Because Dad was injured, he didn't want Mom and the family to worry, so he hasn't come back."
But now Dad knows he was wrong, which is why he's come back to find you.
Will Ping An be angry with her father?
"Dad is hurt?"
When Ping An heard that Lu Jingnian was injured, her little face immediately scrunched up. "Where is Daddy bleeding?"
Does it hurt?
Peace and safety are with you!
Last time she scraped her leg and got hurt, her mother rubbed it on her and the pain went away.
Seeing his daughter's earnest and worried expression, Lu Jingnian smiled and gently pinched her cheek. "Daddy's not in pain anymore, thank you for your safety."
"Daddy's pain is gone, so can we go home together?"
...
On the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who had come out to look for Ping An after returning home, saw that only Jiang was standing in the backyard and couldn't help but ask her, "Where is Ping An, Yueyue?"
Jiang Yue pointed to the villa across the street.
“Ping An went to the other side. Mom and Dad, you should go and see her, and also see Jing Nian. Master will be back soon. I’ll take Gui Lai to find Master first.”
Jiang Yue didn't hide it from Lu's father and wife. Now that Lu Jingnian had returned, she shouldn't keep it from them anymore.
In the past two years, the two elderly people have also been very worried about Lu Jingnian.
"Yueyue...you said...you said Jingnian is in the villa across the street?"
Madam Lu looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief, thinking that there was something wrong with her ears and she had misheard.
Mr. Lu also looked at Jiang Yue in shock, somewhat incredulous. Last night, Jiang Yue said that Lu Jingnian would be back soon, and he had a vague idea of what was going on, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded seriously. “Mom and Dad, why don’t you go and see him? He probably hasn’t come back because he injured his leg.”
After saying that, Jiang Yue took Gui Lai from Lu's father's arms, then took Yu Ye from Lu's mother's hands, and went back to the living room with Aunt Yu who was at the door.
Watching Jiang Yue leave, Madam Lu tried to call her back, but was stopped by her father.
Madam Lu looked at her father with confusion, "Yueyue, she..." Before she could finish speaking, Madam Lu looked at her father's expression and instantly pursed her lips, as if she understood something.
She turned and walked quickly toward the villa across the street.
In the living room.
Aunt Yu looked at Jiang Yue, who was playing with Yu Ye after returning home, and sighed with heartache.
She knew what Jiang Yue had done for Lu Jingnian over the years, and now that Lu Jingnian was back, she should be the happiest person, but she looked angry.
Although she didn't know what had happened, Aunt Yu knew that Jiang Yue must have had her reasons for doing this.
Not long after Mr. and Mrs. Lu went to the other side, Old Man Chen was brought back by Cheng Wei.
Seeing his beloved grand-disciple, Old Man Chen was overjoyed and immediately picked up Gui Lai.
"Quickly, let the advisor check if that bastard hurt my precious grand-disciple last night!"
Old Chen carried Gui Lai, took his pulse, and then examined him thoroughly. He was finally relieved to find that everything was alright.
Jiang Yue sat on the sofa, looking at Old Man Chen with a half-smile. At this moment, only she, Gui Lai, and Old Man Chen were in the living room. Yu Ye was sleepy, so his aunt carried him back to his room to sleep.
Cheng Wei had something to do, so he picked up Old Man Chen and drove away.
Feeling guilty under Jiang Yue's gaze, Old Man Chen couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Why are you looking at me like that, you little rascal?"
"You haven't seen me for several days, don't you recognize your master anymore?"
"Of course I know you, sir." Jiang Yue got up to pour Old Man Chen a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, then said, "But Master, is there anything you want to say to me this time?"
"You and Lu Jingnian are quite the actors! I've been completely fooled by you two for the past two years. Master, is it fun?"
