Early in the morning on May Day, the driver drove the car and waited outside Lu Chengyi's house.
Ever since his son got into trouble while driving without a license, Lu Genggeng was given an administrative penalty, the original driver was fired from his job, and the agency assigned another driver to Lu Chengyi.
In order to celebrate May Day, the agency organized all cadres to work for a day at a reservoir under construction in the provincial capital, and encouraged cadres to bring their families with them. Lu Chengcheng volunteered to go with them.
Just as the two of them got into the car, they suddenly heard Lan Lili's voice not far in front of the car, "Chengyi, wait for me."
Lu Chengcheng looked at Lu Chengyi in surprise. Ever since Lan Lili went to the agency to find him nine days ago, she has never appeared in front of them again. Why did she suddenly come home today?
Lu Chengyi was obviously quite surprised. Every time they had a conflict in the past, he would swallow his pride and coax her, and it would take a long time for her to calm down.
This time, the two of them had such a bad argument over Lu Genggeng's matter that she even took her children back to her parents' home for the first time. He had thought that this time she would make a fuss for at least a month before giving up.
But he never expected that less than a week after she left, she would take the initiative to come to his workplace to find him. He was busy going to the provincial capital university with Wei Lingcheng to watch his daughter's performance. He just said a few words and left.
He felt that he would surely make her furious again this time, but who would have thought that in just over a week, she would actually return home on her own initiative, and from the tone of her voice just now, there was no anger at all, but rather a hint of coquettishness.
Lu Chengyi got out of the car, and Lu Chengcheng followed him out. Lan Lili was standing not far from the door, looking at Lu Chengyi with a smile. Behind her, Lu Genggeng and Lu Fangfang looked reluctant.
Lan Lili is beautiful. Although she is already 36 years old, due to proper maintenance, there are almost no wrinkles on her delicate face. She has a slim figure, and with light makeup, she looks extremely elegant.
No wonder my father fell in love with her. Compared to her, my mother's appearance is much more ordinary, and my face looks very much like my mother's. It can never compare to Lu Fangfang, who is famous for her beauty.
Perhaps in the past, Lu Chengcheng would have felt inferior, but she has been friends with Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling for a long time and has been deeply influenced by them. In addition, she has performed outstandingly recently and has gained some confidence. When facing this family of three, her attitude has become much more indifferent.
"Auntie Lan, you're back?" Lu Chengcheng said with a faint smile.
"Yeah, I'm back," Lan Lili smiled at her, but the smile on her face didn't see through her eyes at all. "If I don't come back, who will take care of your father? You're still busy with your studies, and I can't ask you to come home and cook for your father all day long."
She was really well-informed. Even though she had never returned since leaving home, she even knew that she cooked for Lu Chengyi.
"It's only natural for a daughter to cook for her father. Aunt Lan is also very concerned about the family. Even though she's not at home, she knows everything that happens at home."
Lan Lili's smile froze. She sensitively discovered that since she and the two children left, Lu Chengcheng seemed like a different person. Not only did she take the initiative to please her father and cook for him, she also invited him to the school to watch the show, successfully attracting Lu Chengyi's attention to her.
She had been with Lu Chengcheng for such a long time, but she never realized that this child could be so scheming.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Chengyi said to her, "Since you're back, go home first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when Cheng Cheng and I get home this afternoon."
Lan Lili immediately reached out and grabbed him. "Chengyi, I heard that your company allows families to bring along with them when they go to work. I figured since my kids and I have nothing to do at home anyway, we might as well go with you to work and get some education. These two kids are just living too much and don't know how hard life is for ordinary people. That's why they're always messing around. Taking them out to train them will probably be more effective than scolding them any number of times."
Lan Lili's words touched Lu Chengyi's heart. He really wanted his two children to experience hardship. Only after they had gone through hard times would they understand that they were living in a honeypot.
Lu Chengcheng looked at Lan Lili and smiled gently.
Lan Lili is still very smart. Over the years of marriage, she has been constantly testing his bottom line. If she makes a fuss and he coaxes her, then she knows that he can tolerate this matter.
Until this time, when Lan Lili hit a wall in the matter of Lu Genggeng, she deeply understood a truth: the child was messing around outside under his name, which was a red line that he would never allow to be crossed. She immediately softened, took the initiative to make peace, and brought the child back to admit her mistake.
He is flexible and has the demeanor of a great general.
Seeing that both children were pouting, and obviously disagreeing with Lan Lili's words, Lu Chengyi said coldly, "You two, are you going or not?"
Lu Genggeng had opened his mouth to say he wouldn't go, but when Lan Lili's sharp gaze swept over him, he immediately lowered his head, kicked the small stone on the ground far away, and whispered, "I'll go."
Lu Chengyi looked at Lu Fangfang again. Lu Fangfang made a bitter face and said against her will, "Dad, I'm going too."
Lan Lili smiled and said, "Look, these two kids are quite sensible. Chengyi, I'll go with them too and get some education."
When Lu Chengcheng heard her words, her brows immediately frowned. The car allocated to Lu Chengyi by the unit, including the driver, can only carry five people at most. If she goes with him, then one person will definitely not be able to go.
Could it be that she wanted to take this opportunity to kick herself out of the car?
Sure enough, when Lu Chengyi mentioned that the car couldn't fit so many people, Lan Lili smiled and said to Lu Chengcheng, "In that case, Chengcheng, don't go. Rest at home and cook dinner in the afternoon when we come back."
If Lan Lili didn't use all these tricks and discussed it with her properly, she would definitely agree. After all, she no longer cared so much about whether she could attract Lu Chengyi's attention.
But she insisted on treating me like a fool, so I couldn't take advantage of her.
If someone bullies you, you must fight back and let the bully know that you are not someone to be trifled with.
This is what Ruan Peiling taught her.
Lan Lili finished speaking and was about to pull Lu Genggeng into the car. Unexpectedly, Lu Chengcheng was standing by the car door. She smiled and said, "Auntie Lan, Dad is not going to the department store today, but to the provincial capital reservoir. The terrain there is very uneven. Aren't you afraid of spraining your ankle in your high heels?"
Only then did Lu Chengyi realize that although Lan Lili was rarely wearing pants, she was still wearing a pair of five-centimeter black leather shoes. His face immediately darkened.
Looking at Lu Genggeng and Lu Fangfang again, they were all wearing new clothes, only Lu Chengcheng was wearing old clothes. His heart suddenly ached.
Lan Lili obviously noticed that Lu Chengyi's face was not right, and she was a little flustered. "I, I'll go change it right away. Wait for me."
Lu Chengyi ignored her and pointed at Lu Genggeng and Lu Fangfang. "You two, get in the car."
Lu Genggeng and Lu Fangfang were reluctant, but seeing Lu Chengyi's face darken, they dared not say a word, and obediently opened the car door and got in.
Lu Chengyi knew that the two of them didn't get along with Lu Chengcheng, and was afraid that they would play tricks on her on the road, so he said to her gently, "Chengcheng, you sit in the passenger seat this time."
