Chapter 2 New Home 2
Zhao Mingquan followed the two people, firstly to see Fu Zhi off, and secondly to see what kind of person adopted Fu Zhi to prevent the child from suffering any grievances.
It was noon when the three of them reached the gate of the courtyard.
The Lu family’s car was parked outside the hospital.
In the dimly lit car, Lu Jingqing lowered his head, his profile dark and vague.
He didn't raise his head until the secretary in the driver's seat reminded him.
That deep and profound gaze swept across the dean, stayed on Fu Zhi for a few seconds, and then moved away without a trace.
This is the family that came to see Fu Zhi. The man is Lu Jingqing, a powerful man in City A.
Lu Jingqing and his wife Xu Wei were deeply in love, but after marriage, Xu Wei had a miscarriage when giving birth to her second child. Not only did her son have an IQ defect, but she also developed a chronic illness and could no longer have children.
Xu Wei dreamed of having a daughter of her own. Three months ago, she discussed with Lu Jingqing to adopt a little girl from an orphanage. She fell in love with Fu Zhi at first sight, but at that time Fu Zhi already had adoptive parents.
Today, the dean was just trying the solution, but he never expected Xu Wei to be more proactive than anyone else. City C is half a day's journey from the small town, and she was afraid of further accidents, so she urged her husband who was on a business trip in City C to pick her up.
The secretary sitting in the driver's seat reminded at the right time: "Second Master, aren't you going to get out of the car to greet Miss Fu?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingqing raised his hand and opened the car door. He was wearing a royal blue suit and had handsome features, especially his eyes, which were narrow and deep, making him look even more elegant.
The dean pointed at Fu Zhi and said, "Mr. Lu, this is Fu Zhi."
A look of surprise appeared on Lu Jingqing's face.
The glimpse he just got wasn't real. This was his first time meeting the little girl his wife always talked about.
Lu Jingqing knew that the environment of the small town was not very good. He thought that Fu Zhi, who lived here, should be like the man behind her, with ordinary looks, rustic clothes, and his edges smoothed out by life.
However, upon closer inspection, Fu Zhi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and nine-point wide-leg overalls, revealing only a section of her slender ankles.
She was extremely beautiful, with long black hair lazily draped over her shoulders, slightly drooping almond-shaped eyes, and long and thick eyelashes. Her whole body exuded a sense of tranquility that made people want to get close to her.
People are attracted to each other by first sight. Lu Jingqing could understand at a glance why his wife's eyes were filled with love whenever she mentioned this little girl.
Seeing Lu Jingqing nod, the dean introduced him to Fu Zhi: "Zhizhi, this is Mr. Lu Jingqing I told you about."
Fu Zhi followed the dean's line of sight.
Lu Jingqing had a resolute expression on his face, without any unnecessary expression.
Zhao Mingquan stood behind Fu Zhi in a daze.
He recognized the Lu family's car; it was a Land Rover that started at seven figures.
"Mr. Lu, do you really want to adopt Zhizhi?" Given the gap between the rich and the poor, Zhao Mingquan always felt that the Lu family was acting on a whim and could not be as dedicated as he was.
Lu Jingqing stared at him sideways, and after a moment, he asked in a calm tone, "Who are you?"
Zhao Mingquan: “…”
"I am Fu Zhi's former adoptive father!"
Although Zhao Mingquan was embarrassed by Lu Jingqing's attitude, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lu, you come to claim the child so rashly without even knowing Zhizhi's situation. This is actually not good for either of you."
Ordinary families would find out about the child's background, personality and preferences before adopting from an orphanage, but the way Zhao Mingquan looked at Lu Jingqing seemed more like he was just acting on a whim.
So he kindly reminded her: "Zhizhi is not as obedient as she looks. She has a weird personality and her academic performance is particularly poor..."
"Girls, if their grades are not good, we can teach them. If they don't like to study, that's fine. The Lu family has enough money to support them."
Zhao Mingquan had said so much, but he didn't expect Lu Jingqing to have such an attitude. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at him.
The man looked calm, his back straight and upright. He didn't seem to think this was a difficult matter. He always talked about money and didn't know how to take care of the self-esteem of the poor. It made it seem as if the Zhao family had treated Fu Zhi harshly!
This is a rich man who is extremely arbitrary.
Zhao Mingquan thought that since Fu Zhi could even refuse his 500 yuan, how could he be so superficial as to fall in love with this businessman who talked about money all the time?
Then he mustered up the courage to say: "Our Zhao family is a little poor, but fortunately we treat Fu Zhi sincerely, and she lives a happy life here. This is more reliable than the kind of love that will sooner or later send her back to the orphanage as a stain!"
"Mr. Zhao!" The dean was anxious and angry as he listened to this. He subconsciously looked in the direction of Lu Jingqing. Lu Jingqing was leaning against the side of the car, his hands half-stuck in his trouser pockets, with his finger bones slightly protruding.
Even with his eyebrows half lowered, one could still sense that he was looking in Fu Zhi's direction.
He didn't take what Zhao Mingquan said seriously at all.
The dean breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Fu Zhi: "Zhizhi, Mr. Lu wants to take you to City A to live with Mrs. Lu today. What do you mean?"
Fu Zhi glanced at the dean who looked expectant, then shifted his gaze to Lu Jingqing.
She didn't say anything, and Lu Jingqing just stood there quietly, letting her look at him.
When two taciturn people get together, the dean can't help but doubt whether they can get along well in the future.
Just as I was worrying, I heard Fu Zhi ask Lu Jingqing: "Will you not want me?"
There was no cautious probing; her voice was very soft, even flat, as if being abandoned was normal for her.
When Lu Jingqing listened, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
Mrs. Lu really wanted a daughter. Lu Jingqing knew that she liked Fu Zhi, so it was not a big deal for him to have another child at home.
He was firm: "No."
He paused, and seeing the little girl's almond eyes that were exactly the same as his wife's, sparkling as if they were hiding stars, he added: "Now that you have come to the Lu family, you are my daughter, Lu Jingqing. No one can regard you as a stain, and no one dares to regard you as a stain!"
The dean knew that Lu Jingqing was a man who kept his word, so she felt relieved to leave Fu Zhi to him, so she said, "Zhizhi, you can go back to the Zhao family to pack your luggage and then follow Mr. Lu to the new home."
Fu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhao Mingquan looked at everything in disbelief, his wrinkled face showing disappointment and reluctance.
The Land Rover drove away quickly in front of him. Before he could tell Fu Zhi to be tolerant and generous when she got to her new home and not to argue with other people's children, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
He answered the phone, and on the other end was Zhao's mother, who was panicking and screaming, "The school called and said that our Youyou lied and bullied classmates, and they expelled us!"
