Seeing that Lu Ying still had a gloomy face, Lu Cheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, let your mother take you clothes shopping tomorrow. I've told her."
"Who asked her to take me out?" Lu Ying didn't feel happy at all. Instead, she became more annoyed. "Every time I go out with her, she gets upset before we even say a few words."
"She is your mother and you are her daughter. Why can't you two talk it out nicely? Isn't your mother good enough to you? I'll do the laundry and cook for you today." In front of the children, Lu Cheng still wouldn't say anything bad about Chen Lizhen.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Lu Ying didn't like to hear this and turned to leave.
"Wait." Lu Cheng called her. He suddenly remembered something. "Why are you so interested in that stupid competition of yours? I never thought you were interested in these things before."
A hint of guilt flashed across Lu Ying's face. "This is our team's game, a collective honor. I'm definitely taking it seriously."
"Really?" Lu Chengduo knew her well. He knew she was lying by looking at her expression. He immediately changed his tone and asked, "What's the reason?"
"It's really nothing." Lu Ying still insisted.
Lu Cheng looked at her expression, and suddenly an idea struck him. His expression changed. "Don't tell me there's Wu Jiayan in your team?"
"No...no." Lu Ying was so nervous that he stuttered.
Seeing that Lu Cheng still had something to understand, his expression became fierce and his tone became heavier. "How many times have I told you to stay away from the Wu family? Don't get involved with them, and don't have any contact with that Wu Jiayan."
"Why, Dad?" Lu Ying couldn't understand. They lived in the same compound, but her father always told her to stay away from Wu Jiayan since she was a child. Their two families were not enemies, so why were they so incompatible?
"There's no reason!" Lu Cheng's face turned pale. Thinking of how Wu Xiangdong always made things difficult for him and tripped him up at work, he felt furious.
It was the same back then. Whenever he got close to Yingzi, Wu Xiangdong would talk bad about him behind his back and ask Yingzi to stay away from him.
I didn't expect that after so many years, his daughter actually fell in love with his son. What a bad fate!
"I just like Wu Jiayan. I'm grown up now and have the right to choose!" Lu Ying's eyes suddenly turned red and she yelled at her father.
"If you like him, just give up on this idea as soon as possible." Seeing that she was about to speak again, Lu Cheng continued, "Don't ask me why again. Our two families are not on good terms. There is no way my Lu family will marry into the Wu family in this lifetime!"
Lu Ying was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. This was the first time she heard her father say that there was a conflict between their family and the Wu family, but why?
She remembered Wu Jiayan's coldness towards her, and also remembered Grandma Wu's lukewarm expression when she sometimes went to Wu's house to find him. She was full of doubts. What kind of conflict was there between the two families?
"Remember what I said." Lu Cheng warned her again.
Lu Ying sniffed. She knew her father's decision could not be changed, so she could only force herself to say, "Don't worry. I like her, but she doesn't like me yet."
Wu Jiayan is like a stone that can't be warmed up. He has a cold face towards everyone. It is because she is thick-skinned that she keeps sticking to him. Maybe he is really annoyed with her.
Seeing his daughter crying, Lu Cheng felt distressed and softened his tone, "Okay, don't be sad."
"When you graduate, Dad will send you to the army."
When Lu Ying heard this, he became anxious again, "I don't want to go to the army."
"If you don't want to join the army, what do you want to do?" Lu Cheng said earnestly, "How can any other job be as comfortable as joining the army? Why don't you become a signalman or something? Your mother and I will feel at ease if you're in the army."
"I won't!" Lu Ying yelled, turned around and slammed the door and left.
Lu Cheng sighed. As the child grew older, it became increasingly difficult to discipline him.
Early the next morning, Xiao Li came to Lu's house.
"Minister, I found out some information about Qin Ying and her daughter."
"Hurry up and tell me." Lu Cheng was overjoyed and urged.
"Qin Ying is here with her daughter Su Qingyun to participate in the National Innovation and Invention Competition for Middle School Students." Xiao Li handed over the information.
Lu Cheng finished reading it quietly and sighed, "Her daughter is indeed excellent."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Which organization sponsored this competition?"
"It's hosted by the Youth Talent Center under the Beijing Research Institute."
"Okay, how about this? Give me the phone number of the director of the Youth Talent Center and I'll call him myself." Lu Cheng thought carefully. "It's rare for students from such a small place to have the opportunity to participate in this kind of competition. We should let them take care of it."
"It's not like they should pay more attention to it just because they use the backdoor."
"clear."
Outside the door, Lu Ying, who came to call her father for breakfast, was deeply stunned. Her father didn't help her to greet the research institute, but called them personally to ask them to take care of a strange girl?
