Chapter 106 Belated Apology
The Ye sisters looked at him with some fear.
Xu Youyou frowned slightly.
Song Zhibai glanced at Lu Jingyao with an ambiguous look and said, "The most important thing is that the child is happy."
Lu Jingyao's heart skipped a beat. Judging from his rival's reaction, he guessed that he must have said something wrong.
Lu Jingyao wanted to say something to make amends, but Xu Youyou stood up and pulled him directly to the viewing balcony.
If Xu Youyou didn't know what kind of person Lu Jingyao was, she would have already scolded him and lectured him. Some things were not convenient to say directly in front of two little girls. Xu Youyou now whispered to explain the origins of the two little girls.
After listening to the sisters' tragic past, Lu Jingyao thought of what he had just said, and a rare sense of guilt rose in his heart. These two sisters didn't even have enough food in the past, and he actually said that they ate snacks as meals...
"I have preconceived ideas. I will apologize to the two children later." Lu Jingyao did not shirk his responsibility.
Xu Youyou looked at him in surprise. She thought that a boss like Lu Jingyao, who seemed to be somewhat chauvinistic, would never bow his head to apologize.
Lu Jingyao added: "This is not the first time I have had a preconceived notion. I have misunderstood you before when I was abroad. I'm sorry."
Lu Jingyao had been holding these words in his heart for a long time. When he was abroad, he thought Xu Youyou was a vain woman and was afraid that she would get close to him. Now he realized that he was not only too self-indulgent, but also took many detours because of it.
Xu Youyou had long since forgotten about that little thing. After all, Zhaoyi Star was really expensive, and he had really paid for the subsequent 10 billion transactions. Who would go against a big client?
"A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by heart. You don't actually need to apologize to me."
But Lu Jingyao insisted: "I hope you can get a formal apology."
Xu Youyou raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she didn't care about it, it was always a pleasant thing to be respected by others: "Then I accept your apology and I forgive you."
Lu Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw two children watching TV attentively in the living room, and suddenly wanted to do something for them.
"If they want to cut ties with their original families, it would be best for them to move their household registration to Shanghai. This will also be beneficial for them to take the college entrance examination in the future," said Lu Jingyao.
The capital and Shanghai are considered to be cities with relatively greater advantages in the domestic college entrance examination.
Xu Youyou sighed and said, "It's not easy to get a Shanghai hukou. Not to mention them, even I still have a hukou from another place."
There are only a few ways to obtain citizenship in Shanghai. There are more methods for adults, but for children, their household registration can only follow their parents.
Lu Jingyao thought of a solution in a short time and said, "Conventional methods will definitely not work, but if we use unconventional methods, it may work."
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Lu Jingyao nodded.
Xu Youyou was very curious, but hesitated whether to ask him for help. She felt sorry for the two children and wanted to give them the best conditions, but she also didn't want to owe Lu Jingyao too much.
Lu Jingyao took the initiative to say, "Has your people not gone to their hometown yet? I'll ask Assistant Liu to go with them and I promise to help you get this done."
Xu Youyou asked: "What is the method?"
Lu Jingyao did not hide it: "Adoption."
Xu Youyou widened her eyes and said, "It will take a while for me to find a suitable adopter."
Lu Jingyao smiled faintly and said, "Things in this world are really so coincidental. I know a couple who don't have children. They are both born and raised in Shanghai and meet the adoption requirements."
Xu Youyou asked: "Are they willing to adopt? But the sisters' father is still alive, can they be adopted?"
Lu Jingyao said calmly, "This couple owes me a favor, so they are probably willing to help. As for the child's father, it's easier to solve. As long as we give him money, I believe he will work hard to prove that he is incapable of raising his daughter."
Xu Youyou thought carefully about Lu Jingyao's solution. If everything went well, it seemed really feasible.
"I don't want to waste your favor because of my affairs..."
As soon as Xu Youyou finished speaking, Lu Jingyao immediately said, "I'm not doing this entirely for you. I just felt sorry for the two children and wanted to do my best. After careful calculation, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to do charity."
Xu Youyou felt emotional. Since returning to China, Lu Jingyao seemed to be more and more approachable, and no longer as aloof as he was when he was abroad.
"Thank you on behalf of our two children." Xu Youyou accepted Lu Jingyao's kindness.
Song Zhibai saw them returning from the observation deck. He felt extremely disappointed when he saw that the two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding in their conversation, as if he had already lost the competition.
"Dinner is ready." Song's mother shouted with a smile.
Song Zhibai and the two sisters went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes. Xu Youyou wanted to help, but was stopped by Song's mother. She smiled and said, "There are so many people at home, there is no point in asking guests to help."
Because the two children were around, Song Zhibai and Lu Jingyao were relatively well behaved during the meal.
Although Lu Jingyao regards Song Zhibai as his love rival, he respects Song's mother very much. When he really wants to please someone, it is difficult for him to dislike them, and for a while both the host and the guests are happy.
After dinner, Xu Youyou called the two sisters to the viewing balcony. Lu Jingyao fulfilled his promise and apologized to the two sisters solemnly.
The two sisters looked at each other, and finally the elder sister spoke up: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to apologize to us. It doesn't matter even if you scold us a few times. We are used to it."
Lu Jingyao felt mixed emotions for a moment. He didn't know what to say, and guilt welled up in his heart again.
Xu Youyou, on the other hand, looked serious: "Don't say that about yourself. You are no different from other people. You should be respected and not accept insults from others."
Xu Youyou looked at the two children and felt like she was looking in a mirror. In her previous life, it was not until her death that she realized the importance of respecting oneself.
She lacked love too much and was blinded by the so-called family affection of the Gu family, becoming a person without self-esteem.
She didn't want her two children to follow her old path.
"Sister, I...I said something wrong. I'm sorry."
At this moment, both children looked at Xu Youyou timidly.
Xu Youyou took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong."
The two children's eyes were full of confusion.
Xu Youyou's voice softened a little more, and she said, "You are all very good and well-behaved children. In the past, when your father and grandmother beat and scolded you at home, it was not because you did anything wrong, but because they had problems."
The two children opened their mouths slightly.
When the elder sister's eyes were filled with tears, she asked, "Is it really not because we were not good enough? We didn't do our housework well?"
Xu Youyou nodded vigorously: "You haven't done anything wrong. If someone attacks you for some inexplicable reasons in the future, you must remember that it is someone else's fault! Those people are mentally ill!"
Xu Youyou felt sorry for the two sisters. If they were born in a normal family, they would have been the apple of their parents’ eyes, instead of being cautious, sensitive and lacking in love like they are now.
"Sister, will we really have a new name?"
Facing the expectant eyes of the two children, Xu Youyou nodded vigorously again.
My sister said, "I want to name myself after the sun, so that I can protect Sister Xu like the sun."
My sister said, "Can I be called Baozhu? There was a girl in my class with this name, and her parents loved her very much."
Xu Youyou's nose felt sore and she said, "Okay, Yangyang, Baozhu, I've remembered them all, you can name them like this."
I’m busy today, so here are two updates.
