4. Education
◎Find a school◎
The housekeeper took a deep breath silently. No one had ever dared to speak to the president like this. The young lady was really just a child who spoke without restraint.
"Xia Xia." Bai Ruanwen quickly protected her daughter behind her, then gave Lu Lin a complicated look. "That's right, even if Xia Xia is your daughter, you are not worthy of being her father. You know what you did back then, and I have a clear conscience. Today, I must take Xia Xia away."
Lu Lin's face turned pale and blue. He had already found out what happened that year. The drug was not given by Bai Ruanwen, but when he went to look for him, the place was empty.
She never gave him a chance and hid his daughter for so long. Should he still be grateful to the Song family?
"If you want to sue, fine." His eyes were cold, "But no one can take my daughter away."
He glanced at the housekeeper, who immediately tried to snatch the girl away, and Bai Ruanwen could only protect his daughter tightly.
Bai Xia had had enough. How could he have such a crazy father? If he admitted his mistake and bowed his head, would he die? Was his mouth just for show?
Knowing that the male protagonist would not let go, Bai Xia did not want to make things difficult for the housekeeper, so she could only whisper a few words into Bai Ruanwen's ear. The latter was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and finally let go.
Bai Xia was immediately led over by the housekeeper and taken upstairs.
Seeing that his daughter was willing to stay, Lu Lin raised a smug smile and looked at Song Xun with a warning, "She is my daughter, you'd better stay away from her."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Bai Ruanwen again, and without saying anything, went straight to the study.
The three of them will be reunited one day.
As for the man surnamed Song, they will settle the account slowly.
"Ruan Wen, why did you leave Xia Xia here?" Song Xun frowned.
Looking at this huge villa, which was full of luxury, Bai Ruanwen shook his head with a complicated look in his eyes. "Xia Xia said she wanted to see what her biological father looked like and asked me to pick her up later. Although there is a gap between Lu Lin and me, I have no right to prevent Xia Xia from seeing her biological father."
Hearing this, Song Xun also looked upstairs, and a trace of loss appeared on his handsome face. No matter how he tried to deceive himself, he was indeed not Xia Xia's biological father.
After returning to the room, the butler brought a lot of toys. Bai Xia shook her head and asked him to buy her some books.
When the butler saw Bai Xia's list of books, he froze in place, but soon walked out.
Soon the door was pushed open and Lu Lin walked in holding a box.
"Don't you even know how to knock on the door? Do you know how to respect other people's privacy? I'm a girl, what if I'm changing clothes?" Bai Xia frowned and couldn't complain.
Lu Lin paused, looked at his daughter who looked unhappy, then walked out and knocked on the door twice again.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
Lu Lin walked back in, squatted in front of her, opened the box and took out a pink diamond necklace, "Try it?"
His daughter deserves the best in the world. He must make up for all the wrongs he has suffered over the years and will never let the Song family take advantage of him.
Bai Xia looked at the necklace and said, "Weigh it yourself. Is such a heavy necklace suitable for me?"
Lu Lin glanced at his daughter's slender neck, then put the necklace aside as if nothing had happened. "I'll have someone make a new one for you."
There were only two people in the room. Bai Xia sat on the big bed, swinging his short legs, staring at the person in front of him. "Parents are a child's second teachers. You let me stay here. What do you think you can teach me? Teach me how to bully women? Teach me how to ignore the law? Or teach me how to be arrogant?"
Listening to her tender childish voice, Lu Lin had already discovered that although his daughter was young, her logical thinking was not bad at all, which showed that he and Ruan Wen had good genes.
"There's nothing wrong with what textbooks teach about being honest, kind, and friendly. But in this world, honesty and kindness are just excuses for the weak. Once you take them seriously, you'll be torn to pieces by the jackals and tigers out there. Girls need to be courageous. Even if you're not honest or kind enough, you can still stand at the top of society." Lu Lin tried to slow down his voice.
One can imagine how pedantic her daughter was taught by Mr. Song, but since his daughter returned to him, he wanted to give her the best education.
Bai Xia was stunned. Was the male lead talking to her about sociology? Was this how the upper class taught their children?
No wonder they are all lawless.
"Is this the reason why you are impolite? If you want others to respect you, you must respect others. If you always make enemies with others and think highly of yourself, you will only make enemies for yourself. What's more, means are just a way of socializing, and should not be regarded as the bottom line of being a human being. According to you, I am not honest and kind enough, so can I lie to my elders every day? And then I don't respect the elderly and yell all day long?" She said in a serious voice.
Lu Lin seemed to be intrigued. He looked at her word by word and said, "If lying can bring you benefits, then that's your advantage. As long as you are strong enough, no one will blame you even if you are impolite. But if you are not strong enough, like you are now, then you need to use morality to disguise yourself."
“…”
She found that the male protagonist's sophistry thinking was indeed different. It seemed that he was not crazy, but really believed that he was not wrong.
"What you are talking about is just a means of survival. People live not only to survive, but also to take care of their parents and relatives. If I wait for my own interests and pull out your oxygen tubes when you and great-grandfather are old, is that okay?" She said seriously.
Lu Lin paused, then patted her head. "It depends on your opinion. If I don't treat you well, you can do this."
Bai Xia was speechless. When the male protagonist got ruthless, he actually taught his daughter to stab himself?
"You are still young. You will understand in the future that your family members may not be kind to you. On the contrary, it may become a fatal price for you." Lu Lin's expression was obscure.
Bai Xia certainly knew this. There were too many cases of relatives hurting each other in wealthy families, but people should at least have a bottom line. Although the male protagonist was talking about a means of survival, this was not a reason to harm others for personal gain.
"You forced my mother and then blamed her for drugging you. This clearly shows that you lack self-control and have no brains. Would my mother drug you? Can't you use your brain to think about it? She felt so wronged when she went abroad. Do you think being a single mother is easy? Why do you have the right to give her such a hard time?"
Bai Xia couldn't help but complain, "Also, you like her, but instead of being secretly happy about what happened, you actually blame her for drugging you?"
"You are a dark and selfish person. Uncle Song is not like that. No matter what happens, he will always trust Mom unconditionally. For someone like you who can't think, it's only natural for Mom to choose Uncle Song. You actually taught me to be unscrupulous. Do you think I will lose my loved one in the future? How can you teach your children like that? How big a grudge do you have against me?"
Lu Lin's expression grew increasingly grim, but he waited for his daughter to finish, then stared at her and emphasized each word, "You don't understand. One day your mother will come back."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room. Thinking of his daughter's words about losing a loved one, he felt inexplicably irritated.
What happened back then was just a misunderstanding. He thought Ruan Wen approached him for the Bai family, so he said those words. When he found out, the other party had completely disappeared.
He has searched all over the world in the past few years, but every time he found a clue, it would disappear in an instant. It was obvious that it was the Song guy who was causing trouble.
"President, the chairman asked you to go to the study." The butler suddenly came over with a stack of books in his hands.
Lu Lin glanced at them and took the top one, The Four Lessons of Life.
"This is what the young lady wants to see." The butler looked a little strange.
Can a young lady understand something that even adults can’t understand?
Lu Lin's mouth curled up slightly. Although his daughter was only three and a half years old, her logical thinking ability was no worse than that of ordinary people. He would definitely train her well and let her stand at the top of the world. At that time, she would know that honesty and kindness were just a burden to the strong.
When he arrived at the study, Lu Jinnian was making tea and asked nonchalantly, "Gone?"
Lu Lin came to the window and the car outside had already left.
"This child has suffered too much. It's also your incompetence as a father that has allowed your daughter to wander around for so many years. In a few days, I will put her on the family tree and choose a day to introduce her identity to the outside world, so that the Song family will completely give up." Lu Jinnian said in a deep voice.
Lu Lin didn't say anything. Of course his daughter had to announce her identity.
"Xia Xia is not a child anymore. Now that she is back home, education should be put on the agenda. Remember to find a school for her and make sure she attends classes well. Don't become like Lu Shuo." Lu Jinnian reminded.
He didn't like Yao Yun in the first place, but Lu Qihui insisted on marrying this woman and having a child with her. That would have been fine, but it seemed like these two people had no idea how to educate their child. The eight-year-old was just mischievous all day long and didn't know how to attend any serious classes.
This time he would never let his great-granddaughter be spoiled.
"knew."
When Lu Lin heard the name Lu Shuo, there was no emotion in his eyes. He turned around and walked out of the study.
I don’t know whose personality this grandson takes after. Lu Jinnian shook his head. His great-granddaughter is still the cutest.
Bai Xia received the book bought by the housekeeper and stayed in the room reading. Since the male protagonist was unwilling to let go, she had no choice but to stay. He liked being a father so much, so great, he could continue to be one.
Don't say she didn't give him the chance to show his fatherly love.
"Bang--"
The door suddenly made a loud noise, as if it was hit by something. Bai Xia looked at the door of the room, then put down the book and quickly walked over to open the door.
The next moment, a black shadow suddenly came towards her. Bai Xia was quick to squat down with her head in her hands, and saw a basketball flying over her head.
"What a shame."
A boy in a soccer jersey stood in the corridor. He seemed to know that there was a guest at home. He looked her over and asked, "Are you the illegitimate daughter of my eldest brother?"
“…”
Bai Xia looked at the boy in front of him who was only eight or nine years old, took a deep breath, and ran back to the room without saying a word.
"Tsk, so timid, you can tell at a glance that you are not eldest brother's biological child." The boy snorted.
Just as he finished speaking, a basketball suddenly hit him on the head. Lu Shuo was hit on the forehead without noticing. Although the force was not strong, he still gasped in pain.
"You...you little bastard! How dare you hit me!" He was so angry that he was about to pick up the basketball and throw it back.
The sharp-eyed servants rushed over to stop them when they saw this. One was the lady's son, and the other was the chairman's precious great-granddaughter who had been lost and found again. What if something happened?
"What's wrong?"
Lu Qihui came out of the room upon hearing the noise, only to see his granddaughter and son confronting each other in the corridor. He hurried over to hug the girl and looked at Lu Shuo unhappily, "This is your little niece, you have to take care of her. What are you doing?"
"I don't have a niece. Big brother is not married, so she is an illegitimate daughter!" Lu Shuo turned his head away with disdain.
Bai Xia sneered, "Who do you think you are? You have a head just for show. If I look at you for even one more moment, I'll go wash my eyes."
"You--" Lu Shuo clenched his fists in frustration, his face full of anger.
"Hurry up and apologize to Xia Xia, otherwise you are not allowed to go out tomorrow." Lu Qihui rarely spoke harshly to his son.
Unexpectedly, his father would favor a little bastard. Lu Shuo could only stare at Bai Xia, then quickly returned to the room with the basketball.
Asking him to apologize to the bastard is a dream!
"Shuo Shuo is just a little naughty. Please don't be angry with him, okay?" Lu Qihui touched the girl's hair.
Bai Xia frowned, "Naughty? He's clearly committing murder. That basketball is bigger than my head, and he just threw it at me. If this isn't murder, what is? If he doesn't apologize to me, I won't live here anymore. You guys don't like me anyway, so I won't stand this humiliation."
