Chapter 271 My dad has long since disappeared.
"Oh, my mom doesn't live with me. She lives at my grandpa's house, but she might be dating someone recently, so she might be living in her own house."
As soon as Lu Wanxing finished speaking, the man opposite her stood up angrily.
"What? Dating? Dating whom?"
Lu Chengbo is the kind of person who naturally exudes authority, and his angry appearance makes him look even more terrifying.
Lu Wanxing looked at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly unaware of what was wrong with him.
Realizing that his reaction was a bit too much, Lu Chengbo immediately tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth.
"I mean, I'm already so old, why am I even thinking about dating?"
Lu Wanxing was even more puzzled, and spoke with a displeased expression:
“My mom raised me all by herself, and now that things are finally a little easier for her, what’s wrong with her pursuing her own happiness? I have no objection to that. Besides, I think Uncle Gu is very good to my mom.”
She continued talking as if she hadn't seen Lu Chengbo's rising anger.
"You mean someone surnamed Gu?"
"Huh? Yeah, is there something wrong with it?"
Lu Wanxing looked at him with a puzzled expression. Lu Chengbo closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down a little.
"No, it's nothing. I just feel that at my age, it's not easy to find a relationship."
Seeing Lu Chengbo's current state made Lu Wanxing frown. "Looking at you, I'm starting to suspect you're about to go and start a fight."
"Hehe, I just suddenly thought of my own situation and felt a bit of empathy."
Lu Chengbo explained with a dry laugh.
But this expression is even uglier than crying.
"Oh, so your wife ran off with someone else? Well, don't think too much about it. Since everyone has their own life, let's just let each other go."
Lu Wanxing didn't forget to comfort her from the side.
Lu Chengbo's face darkened further.
What exactly did my daughter say?
He's starting to wonder if this little girl is letting in the cold.
"How could we let it go? If it were you, and your own father came back to you, wanting to reconcile with your mother, would you actually approve of your mother dating?"
"What's wrong with that? My mom will be the one living the life from now on. The most important thing is that my mom is happy. As for whether this person is my biological father or not, I really don't care."
Hearing Lu Wanxing calmly finish speaking these words, Lu Chengbo became genuinely nervous.
"Don't you want your family to be together again?"
He had no idea how nervous he was when he said those words; his fingers gripped the sofa beneath him so tightly.
"What's the big deal? I'm past the age where I need my dad. As long as my mom is happy, it doesn't matter to me."
"How can it be no problem?"
Lu Chengbo frowned and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"What else can I do? This is my mom's life. Do you think I can force her to be with her? The most important thing when two people are together is to be happy. Besides, my dad is long gone and probably has a new family on his side. Isn't it good that they can both have a new beginning? I think it's great."
Lu Wanxing said dismissively.
Lu Chengbo's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
What on earth is my little darling saying?
At this point, I felt like I had no chance of winning.
"Ahem, so what are your thoughts on that Uncle Gu of yours?"
"I don't have any thoughts. I can tell that he really loves my mom and is good to her. If my mom introduces him, I have no objection."
Lu Wanxing shrugged, then looked at Lu Chengbo with suspicion.
"You said you came to my house and kept asking about my family. What are you planning to do?"
She narrowed her eyes, staring at the man opposite her on the sofa with a rather dangerous look.
"Ahem, what can I do? I just want to know more about your family so I can mooch a meal from you! Yes, that's it."
"Yeah?"
Lu Wanxing looked suspicious.
He then continued, "Then you should give up. I won't take you in."
They tried to extort money from you while you were abroad, and now that you're back in China, are they still trying to extort money from you?
I'm not going to do this unprofitable deal.
"Oh dear, you have no idea, I had a fight with my father back then and haven't been home for years because I didn't want to back down. If I stay in a hotel now, I'll be spotted right away."
"That won't work either."
Lu Wanxing spoke with a firm tone.
"So, if I wanted to be your father, would you give me that chance?"
"Pfft!" Lu Wanxing, who was drinking water on the other side, spat out her mouthful of water.
What exactly is this person saying?
"So you're going to become someone's stepfather just to stay at my house? Did you forget to take your medicine today?"
Lu Chengbo: ......(﹏)
Now he just wants to know, is his daughter really such an unyielding person?
Why is this person so difficult to persuade?
"Alright, just consider this my wish to be your father, a favor in an emergency."
After saying that, he put his hands together and looked at Lu Wanxing with a pleading expression.
Lu Wanxing didn't know what to say.
"You're really going all out! I just wonder if your child will still recognize you as their father if they know what you're like outside."
"Oh, she probably doesn't want to acknowledge me yet, so I have to do something."
Seeing his eyes suddenly dim and his hair noticeably whiter, Lu Wanxing's heart softened terribly.
Becoming a mother definitely makes you less cool.
I used to be such a cool person, but now that someone is playing the victim, I feel sorry for them.
I really need to correct this bad habit.
"Alright, alright, then you can stay on the first floor. Anyway, I have a room available on the first floor. I'll have the housekeeper prepare one for you."
Lu Wanxing looked impatient.
But Lu Chengbo knew what the child was thinking, so he didn't expose her and just looked at her with a smile.
"I knew you were like this..."
"Alright, stop giving me the 'friend zone' card. I'm afraid you'll sell me out and I'll be counting the money for you."
Lu Wanxing glanced at him sideways, stopping him from continuing.
Lu Chengbo touched his nose guiltily.
This child, like her mother, is a hypocrite.
"Okay, I won't say anything more, but don't worry, I'd rather sell myself than sell you."
Lu Chengbo smiled broadly, an expression that made Lu Wanxing wonder if she had been deceived.
That old scoundrel is wicked.
He staged an accident while abroad and managed to get a lot of free meals at his own home.
Now it's great, I can even find my home when I go back to China.
"By the way, how did you know my family's address?"
"It was an investigation, but I watched your variety show before I went back to China. Your judgment of people is really bad, while the others have pretty good taste..."
