14. Breaking Up a Fight
◎ Hitting people is against the law, do you understand the law? ◎
"I've already apologized to your mother." Lu Lin said patiently and gently.
Bai Xia's face was filled with disgust. "Is that an apology? You have no attitude at all. Uncle Song wouldn't force my mother, let alone be mean to her."
"You only teach me some weird and twisted theories. According to you, from now on, if I see a boy I like, I will snatch him away and keep him by my side. I don't care if they are willing or not. I just want to make myself happy."
Listening to the childish female voice, the driver stared at the front with sweat on his forehead. There are some things that young ladies really cannot learn.
Lu Lin closed his eyes and loosened his collar. He never thought that this was the image of himself in his daughter's mind. He just didn't want to talk nonsense, and he didn't force Ruan Wen. He was not like Song Xun, a hypocrite who was insincere.
Maybe he will have to change his words and actions in front of his daughter in the future.
"I will definitely respect your mother in the future. If she doesn't want to divorce, then there's no need for divorce," he said patiently.
Bai Xia blinked, "You must not only respect my mother, but also others, such as the housekeeper, the driver, and the servants. They are just working for a salary, not selling themselves into slavery. What right do you have to speak coldly to them? Parents are the mirror of their children. What you are now will determine what I will become in the future. You must also be filial to your great-grandfather, otherwise I will not be filial to you in the future."
The driver's heart suddenly warmed. The lady was so kind. Not only did she ask the president to give them a raise, but now she was even standing up for them. Miss Bai was so well educated.
Lu Lin's brows jumped, and he stared straight at the girl's cute face, "Okay."
Bai Xia didn't expect him to really change, but it would be good if the male protagonist could behave himself for a while and not bother the female protagonist all the time. If he has so much free time, he can read more news. What is most important now is to know and abide by the law.
After returning to the villa, she saw Song Xun and the male supporting actor's father. At this time, Lu Jinnian was sitting there with a plate of skewers. It was unclear what they were talking about, and the atmosphere seemed quite serious.
As for why the heroine was not seen, it was probably because she was busy designing orders and had no time to come to the Lu family. As expected, once the heroine was busy, she would not always revolve around her daughter. This was a very good phenomenon.
"Uncle Song, Grandpa Song." She walked over and greeted them.
Lu Jinnian looked at the housekeeper and said, "Take the young lady to class."
Song Yuehua could only watch the little girl being taken away. When Bai Xia was just born, he held this little girl in his arms. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up to this size.
I originally wanted to let Ruan Wen bring him back to the country to see him, but who knew that he was kidnapped to the Lu family before he could even see him.
"Since Lu Lin is back, I'll speak frankly."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said leisurely, "Xia Xia is Ruan Wen and Lu Lin's child. I only found out about this recently. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have kept it a secret for so long."
Lu Jinnian sat back on the sofa with his eyes closed, two walnuts tucked in his left hand, his face expressionless.
You only realized it now? You completely shirked responsibility.
"Now that the truth has been revealed and the past is over, the key is to solve the problem."
Song Yuehua glanced at the second floor. "I have already consulted Ruan Wen. She is willing to transfer Xia Xia's household registration back to the Lu family. This is also Xia Xia's wish. Lu Lin is Xia Xia's biological father. As long as the procedures are complete, the household registration can be transferred here at any time."
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian slowly opened his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. Song Yuehua had been pretending to be deaf and dumb for so long, and his sudden visit today was definitely not just for the purpose of transferring his household registration.
Bai Xia squatted on the second floor, quietly observing the conversation below, and the housekeeper could only carry her schoolbag for her.
"Although Xia Xia is the daughter of Ruan Wen and Lu Lin, as far as I know, this was just an accident. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, young people should look forward to it."
Song Yuehua suddenly took out a wedding invitation and placed it on the table. "Our two families have known each other for many years. Song Xun and Lu Lin have been good friends since childhood. I hope you can come to the wedding for a drink."
Looking at the gold-stamped wedding invitation, Lu Lin felt it was particularly dazzling, and a surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart, "Friend?"
He stared at Song Xun with frosty eyes, "Mr. Song, you are going too far."
Before he finished speaking, he punched Song Xun on the nose. The stimulation of the wedding invitation made all his thoughts burn with anger.
As if knowing his character, Song Xun did not fight back.
Instead, Lu Jinnian quickly looked at the servant and said, "Hold him! What a shame!"
So what if he disregarded the Lu family's reputation and got married for a woman? Is there no other woman in the world?
But the servants didn't dare to actually pull them apart, and the whole hall was in chaos. Song Yuehua was so anxious that he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He didn't expect Lu Lin to actually hit someone.
"Let go of Uncle Song!"
Bai Xia suddenly ran forward and grabbed Lu Lin by the clothes, "You violent idiot! You have no manners at all! Hitting people is illegal, do you understand the law?"
Hearing his daughter's voice, Lu Lin finally suppressed his anger, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Xun was still as cold as frost. He never thought that he would be stolen away by his good brother.
Marry? There's no way Ruan Wen would marry someone with the surname Song!
"You'd better apologize to Uncle Song quickly, otherwise I will call the police and report you for assaulting someone." Bai Xia stood between the two of them and turned on his Little Genius watch.
Song Xun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "If you respect Ruan Wen, I also hope that she can grow old with the person she loves, but you don't. You will only make her feel pain. I won't let you hurt her again. I like her, so of course I have to protect her. Even if Xia Xia is not my biological daughter, she is still my daughter in my heart. I sent Xia Xia back only to respect her opinion, not because she is your daughter."
Lu Lin smiled instead of getting angry. He squatted down and hugged his daughter, then turned off her call. "I shouldn't hit anyone. Xia Xia, don't learn from me, and especially don't learn from your Uncle Song, who is two-faced and shameless."
He turned and went upstairs, his face tense and veins bulging on his forehead.
The word "wedding invitation" kept irritating his nerves. Ruan Wenming still had himself in his heart and would never marry someone with the surname Song.
"Uncle Song, don't pay attention to him. He just doesn't know how to respect women. He is selfish and arrogant." Bai Xia took a tissue from the table and handed it to him.
Looking at the cute little girl in front of him, Song Xun's eyes softened. If it weren't for Xia Xia's encouragement, he and Ruan Wen might not have reached this point. He was indeed not as frank as a child.
"We'll decide whether to go or not when the time comes."
Lu Jinnian stood up with the help of his cane and said in a bad tone, "Show him away."
The servant immediately stepped forward and gestured for him to come in. Song Yuehua looked at his son with heartache, knowing that Lu Lin was so overbearing, and immediately strode away with a frown.
After Song Xun and the other two left, Bai Xia ran upstairs again and knocked on the study door. When there was no response, she pushed it open herself and saw the male protagonist sitting on the sofa drinking alone.
His suit jacket was thrown on the sofa, and his eyes were particularly sinister, as if he was going to go crazy again.
Seeing his daughter come in, Lu Lin subconsciously threw the wine glass into the trash can, and his expression no longer gloomy, "Why don't you go to class?"
Bai Xia climbed onto the sofa and sat down, then stared at him straight in the eye. "I learned judo because you always beat people up. So, if I meet someone I don't like in the future, I'm going to beat them up too!"
“…”
Lu Lin rubbed his forehead helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I won't hit anyone anymore."
The entire study was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the light was extremely dim. Bai Xia couldn't help but frown, "If you were so affectionate, why did you wrongly accuse my mother? You reap what you sow. This is all your own fault. Stop pretending to be affectionate and moving yourself."
Lu Lin squatted down and stared at his daughter, his cold, three-dimensional features revealing a hint of tension. "Your mother likes me! The one with the surname Song is the third party!"
“…”
Bai Xia was quite speechless. "Likes change. No one will like you forever. It's like selling something. Customers will like a brand because of its current products, but once the brand's products have defects, customers will choose another brand. If you don't even understand this, how do you manage your company?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Lu Lin felt as if the most hidden corner of his heart was suddenly torn open. He could only close his eyes and clench his fists. If he really took it by force, there would be no chance for him to take the surname Song.
"Go back and rest first." He took a breath.
Bai Xia stared at the red wine bottle. The male protagonist was probably going to get drunk again and have no self-control at all. He couldn't be allowed to drink any more. What if he went crazy and went looking for the female protagonist?
"Why do adults always like to drink? This looks delicious." She picked up the bottle and was eager to try it.
Lu Lin's brows jumped, and he threw the bottle into the trash can. "It's bitter and not tasty."
"If it doesn't taste good, why do you and great-grandfather drink it behind my back every day?" Bai Xia put his hands on his hips, a look of suspicion on his face.
Lu Lin rubbed his forehead, not knowing how to deal with his daughter. "I'm sick, don't learn from me."
Bai Xia reached out and touched his forehead. "You're sick, but you don't go see a doctor? Is it a mental disorder? Is it hereditary?"
Lu Lin picked up his daughter and walked out of the study, placing her in the hallway. He tried to pull a smile from the corner of his mouth, "I need to work. Can you go study?"
