◎He is my servant◎
Bai Xia closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap before leaving the hospital. Listening to the male protagonist's emotionless reading, she felt that this book was the most suitable for the male protagonist.
She no longer expects the male protagonist to have a strong sense of social responsibility, but at least he should be a citizen who knows and abides by the law. This is the most basic bottom line of being a human being.
Lu Lin read for more than ten minutes, and when he saw from the corner of his eye that the girl had closed her eyes, he immediately closed the book and took a sip of water from a bottle.
He covered the girl with a blanket, looked at the time, and quickly walked out of the ward. Assistant Xu was standing outside with a worried look on his face.
"President... Miss Bai has already exchanged rings with Song Xun..." Assistant Xu handed over the tablet.
In the picture, the two of them were hugging and crying. She was wearing a white wedding dress and a diamond crown she designed herself, and she looked at the man opposite her with emotion.
Seeing the CEO's assistant's gloomy expression, Assistant Xu immediately turned off the tablet. "So...are you still going over now?"
The young lady is already asleep and has no serious health problems. Although it is a little late for the president to go there now, according to his investigation, Miss Bai and Song Xun have not yet obtained their marriage certificate. As long as Miss Bai is willing to go with the president, this wedding will not count.
Lu Lin closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, then suddenly sat down on a bench in the corridor. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his five fingers gradually clenching into fists until the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.
After a long moment, he said calmly, "I'm not going."
He knew that Ruan Wen chose to marry Song Xun because she was moved, but if he forcibly took Ruan Wen away, he would only push her further away.
Maybe his daughter was right. He needed to make Ruan Wen feel respected. As long as Ruan Wen remembered their past feelings, he would come back sooner or later.
He absolutely did not believe that Ruan Wen liked Song Xun. Song had never succeeded in all these years. How could there be love between them? It was just that Song took advantage of the situation.
His daughter needs care now, and he has been absent for three years. He cannot leave this time.
"The chairman just called you, but you didn't answer. It might be because the young lady is sick. Do you want to call the chairman back?" Assistant Xu asked cautiously.
Lu Lin took out his phone and saw several missed calls. When he called back, he was immediately met with an unhappy question, "What on earth are you doing? I sent Xia Xia over there to play for a few days, and you took her to the hospital. Do you know how to take care of a child? If not, hire a childcare expert to teach you how to raise a child. Your father is like this, and you're not much better. All you have on your mind all day is women. You can't even take care of your own child!"
Assistant Xu could hear the chairman's questioning from such a distance. It turned out that the young lady was the chairman's favorite, and now even the president had to take a back seat.
"Immediately arrange for a special plane to bring Xia Xia back to me! If I let you take her away with me, who knows what will happen to her? If you don't watch over a three-year-old while she eats, what if she eats something she's not allowed to eat? She could die. It's really outrageous!"
The call was suddenly hung up. Lu Lin looked at the phone without saying a word. This time he felt that what the old man said was not unreasonable.
He was too careless and thought his daughter was smart, so he ignored the fact that she was only three years old. Even the smartest children have limited self-control, and their diet must be strictly controlled.
"Go find a nutritionist right away." He looked at his assistant.
The latter nodded in understanding, "Yes."
In fact, he felt that the president needed to find a parenting expert, who might be able to ease the relationship between him and the young lady. The young lady called him Lu Lin every day, and it was obvious that she had not really recognized the president from the bottom of her heart.
Bai Xia slept for three hours and her stomachache was relieved, but the housekeeper said he wanted to take her back. This was an order from Lu Jinnian, and even the male protagonist could not stop it.
When she was discharged from the hospital, she saw the male protagonist. He was still emotionally stable. I wonder if he was venting his anger on someone in private. After all, the female protagonist got married and he didn't stop it in time. He couldn't blame his daughter, so of course he could only blame other people.
It is not easy to work for a domineering boss. She thinks Assistant Xu's salary can be increased. It is hard to serve such an irritable person every day without complaining.
"I have something to do here and will be back in a few days. Do you need any gifts?" Lu Lin squatted down and looked at the girl gently.
Bai Xia climbed into the car by herself, then glanced at the people outside and said, "Please be nice to Uncle Xu. He has children to take care of, too."
The tender child's voice made Assistant Xu's eyes warm immediately. The young lady was so considerate. It must be Miss Bai's good teaching.
Lu Lin paused and said, "You're right. I'll give him a raise."
My daughter knows how to win people's hearts at such a young age, which shows that all those books she read were not in vain.
Bai Xia signaled the housekeeper to close the door, then leaned back in the back seat and took out her cell phone. She wanted to ask the heroine if everything went well today, but then she remembered that today was her wedding night, so she could only chat with He Yuehua.
The latter kept saying that the hotel cake today was delicious and not greasy at all, and the souvenirs were also beautiful, and her mother liked them too.
Sure enough, the heroine accepted her advice. After all, it would be a waste not to use such a good advertising space to promote herself.
On the way back, the housekeeper kept asking her if she felt any discomfort, and he almost glued his eyes to her.
It was already late at night when they got off the plane. The car stopped at the door of the villa. The housekeeper carried her schoolbag and led her in by the hand.
As if he already knew when she would return, Lu Jinnian was sitting in the hall reading the newspaper. When he saw his great-granddaughter appear, he immediately put down the newspaper and stood up with his cane, "Hurry, hurry, come to Grandpa."
Bai Xia had no choice but to walk over quickly, then turned in front of Lu Jinnian and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine now. I stole the food on my own, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Butler."
The butler looked at the girl with a loving face. The young lady was the most polite and sensible child he had ever met. Although she inevitably complained more about the president, it was understandable. After all, the president had never taken care of the young lady.
"Of course great grandfather knows. It's all your father's fault. He can't even take care of a person. What else can he do? Don't go out to play with him in the future." Lu Jinnian touched the girl's head with heartache.
Bai Xia nodded, "I want to drink chicken porridge."
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian quickly looked towards the kitchen and said, "Hurry up and make chicken porridge for Miss."
It's only been a few days since they last met, but he always felt that his great-granddaughter had lost a lot of weight. This bastard Lu Lin gave him a chance to ease the relationship with his daughter, but he was only obsessed with that woman Bai Ruanwen. He even secretly wanted to come back to attend the wedding and even ignored his own daughter. It was really outrageous!
Lu Shuo lay on the side of the corridor, secretly watching this scene. When he was sick, his grandfather had never cared about him so much, including his father.
"I want some porridge and roasted lamb leg, too!" He walked over unwilling to be lonely.
Lu Jinnian sat at the dining table and glanced at his grandson indifferently, "You're already so fat, and you're still eating? You must control your diet from now on."
Hearing this, Lu Shuo glared at Bai Xia again, "I don't care, I just want to eat! I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Listening to his shrill shouting, Lu Jinnian couldn't help but frown. He didn't know how his son was raised. He was so old, but he only knew how to play games and eat snacks all day long. He didn't attend classes well and knew fewer words than a three-year-old child. If he could be half as smart as Xia Xia, he would be very lucky.
"It's so noisy!"
Bai Xia glared at him unhappily, "You're a servant. If you want to eat, go work! If you have nothing to do, go mop the floor. You just scream and yell all day long!"
Lu Shuo's eyes widened, but when he thought of the bet, he could only swallow his anger. Okay, okay, tomorrow he would pick an unpopular game and see if this little brat could still beat him.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!" He turned around angrily and went upstairs.
Lu Jinnian looked at the scene in confusion, not understanding what the two people were playing. It was only when the butler came over and whispered a few words that he finally understood.
In an instant, he looked at the girl with a look of relief, but when he thought that Lu Shuo, an eight-year-old, was playing games worse than a three-year-old, he couldn't bear to watch it.
"Xia Xia is really smart. If you like any game console, Grandpa will have someone buy it for you. At your age, you should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Shuo was so angry that his teeth were about to break. Why couldn't he play games while this little brat could?
"I don't play games. They hurt my eyes. It would be bad if I became nearsighted." Bai Xia finished his porridge and looked up at the old man. "Grandpa, drink less alcohol. You should take care of your health at your age. A calm mind can cure all diseases."
Hearing the girl's words, Lu Jinnian's eyes softened, and he just watched the girl run up the stairs with her short legs.
After a while, he suddenly looked at the housekeeper and said, "Ask Lawyer Wang to come over tomorrow."
Hearing this, the housekeeper's heart moved. The chairman had not changed his will for two years. It seemed that this time he really put the young lady at the top of his heart.
But it's normal. The girl is sweet-mouthed, smart, and has good grades. No one would dislike her.
The next morning, Bai Xia went back to school as usual. Unexpectedly, many people asked her to place orders, and they were all custom-made. Apparently, the advertising at the heroine's wedding was good, and coupled with the relationship with the Song family, most people were willing to give her this favor.
She received eight orders early in the morning, with a total amount of up to three million. Why didn't these parents go directly to the heroine, but chose to go through herself?
This must be to get the child to have a good relationship with her. At first, they were not willing for the child to associate with her because they felt that she was not recognized by the Lu family. But now that the Lu family has made its position clear, these people certainly know what to do.
"Classmates, the final exams, which are also your entrance exams, will be held in half a month. You will leave kindergarten and become elementary school students. You must not take every step of your growth lightly. I hope that everyone can get good grades." The teacher said solemnly on the stage.
Everyone in the audience applauded without any expression. No matter how they performed in the exam, their parents had already arranged schools for them.
When the get out of class was over, a group of people surrounded Bai Xia and asked in childish voices, "Bai Xia, which school are you going to?"
"Your grades are so good, will you be able to skip a grade?"
"I want to go to the same school as you so we can play together!"
Listening to the surrounding voices, Bai Xia smiled and said, "I haven't asked my family yet. I probably won't skip a grade. After all, I'm still young. I have to wait until I'm five at least."
Hearing this, Qi Mo, who was sitting at the back table, breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Bai Xia would skip a grade and he would not be able to catch up with her.
Thinking of this, he went to find Lin Yan in the back row and asked, "Which school are you going to? Why didn't you tell me?"
The latter glanced at him and asked, "Do you and I know each other well?"
“…”
Qi Mo slammed his palm on the desk, his face full of anger, "What do you mean, we are brothers!"
Lin Yan had a blank expression on his face. "Didn't you say we weren't familiar with each other?"
Their eyes met, and Qi Mo's expression was a little strange. He could only raise his head and look around, "I lied to her. Girls need to be coaxed. Don't you know this? We are the best buddies in the world!"
Lin Yan ignored him and stared at Bai Xia's back secretly. He had to go to the same school as Bai Xia. Only in this way could he establish a good relationship with the other party, and then do business together to achieve a win-win cooperation.
After school, Bai Xia sent today's order information to the heroine. Upon asking, he found out that the heroine also had a lot of extra orders. Some of them were because of her relationship with the Song family, and some were because her designs were really beautiful. At least she didn't have much free time this month.
Seeing this, Bai Xia suggested that the heroine expand the scale, change the studio into a small company, and hire more staff to run it, so that she doesn't have to rely on herself to do everything. Of course, it is safer to do it by herself, but there is no other way now that she is so busy.
The heroine said that Song Xun also suggested her to do this because the orders were full and their honeymoon trip was postponed. However, Song Xun did not complain and was very happy instead.
This is the difference between the supporting male lead and the male lead. One only cares about his own feelings, while the other pays more attention to the condition of his other half. As long as the male lead does not go crazy, I believe the female lead and the supporting male lead will definitely be smooth sailing.
After returning home, she started taking judo classes again. Children have good physical resilience, and this is the best time to practice this. If a good foundation is laid from an early age, they will not be helpless if they are kidnapped in the future.
Lu Lin was still out of town, and Lu Qihui was there for dinner, a rare occasion. Bai Xia suddenly looked at Lu Jinnian halfway through her meal and asked, "The teacher said the final exams are in two weeks. Which school should I go to in first grade?"
At her age, she actually cannot go to the first grade. After all, she is only three and a half years old. Most public schools require children to be five years old, and the age limit can be relaxed only if the students' grades are particularly outstanding.
"Yes, Xia Xia is about to go to elementary school. Why don't we let him go to the same school as Shuo Shuo? This way they can take care of each other." Lu Qihui suddenly said seriously.
Yao Yun sat aside and put a chicken leg into her son's bowl, her eyes showing some dissatisfaction. She didn't seem to care about her son when he was in elementary school, but now she is considerate to her granddaughter in everything.
Lu Jinnian nodded and said thoughtfully, "I've already made arrangements. I'll put them in the same school and let them go to and from school together. I'll let Shuo Shuo also feel Xia Xia's learning attitude. I can't let you spoil him anymore."
"I don't want it!"
Lu Shuo slammed his chopsticks on the table. "I don't want to go to the same school as her!"
This little brat has so many classes every day. If he were to behave like this, he would be better off hanging himself.
"What are you arguing about?"
Bai Xia stared at him unhappily, "From now on, you are not allowed to talk during meals!"
"I……"
Lu Shuo stared at her intently, but still kept his mouth shut. He picked up the chicken leg with chopsticks indignantly and took a big bite.
Lu Qihui didn't expect that his son would actually listen to his granddaughter. He found it very strange. This kid usually didn't even listen to him, but now he is so honest?
Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "It's settled. Let Xia Xia take care of Shuo Shuo."
"I'm her uncle, and I'm the one who should take care of her!" Lu Shuo said unwillingly, but when he met Bai Xia's gaze, he silently shut his mouth and lowered his head to eat.
"Who cares about you?" Bai Xia snorted coldly, "You should remember your status. A servant shouting all day long has no manners at all."
