Chapter 56
The warm winter sun shines through the glass window onto the dining table. Four breakfasts, differing only in the drinks, are placed two by two on both sides of the table.
The coffee and milk were steaming, but the fruit and vegetable juice and sugar-free sparkling water opposite each had half a cup of ice cubes.
The sunny-side-up eggs were fried golden on both sides, the toast exuded a rich wheat aroma, and the bacon, freshly taken out of the pan, sizzled.
The occasional clink of knives and forks against porcelain plates echoed. A reporter from the morning news station waited at the gate of the Alpha Control Center, delivering the latest news from the Presidential Palace to a family of four enjoying breakfast.
“Late last night, President Johede held an emergency press conference to publicly apologize to all citizens of the Union for the bullying incident involving his grandson at Simon Public School.”
“It is understood that after receiving the anonymous report yesterday afternoon, President Johde quickly organized personnel to verify the authenticity of the report.”
"Later, President Johde took the initiative to disclose the family scandal to the public media at a press conference, and stated that before him, there are no exceptions to the law and morality."
"Donahue, the president's son, is suspected of covering up bullying and destroying evidence, and has been stripped of his military rank by order of the president himself."
"The President's grandson, Dennis, will be sent to the Alpha Control Facility, where he will celebrate his eighteenth birthday in a month..."
After seeing what he wanted to see, Lu Chao drank the rest of the milk contentedly and shouted, "Feeling good!"
Jiang Mu drank juice quietly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Jiang Yun, holding a cup of coffee, was quickly browsing the many affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during his vacation.
Lu Huai sat next to Jiang Yun and tried his best to coax Jiang Yun to finish the last fried egg: "The three of us have finished our portions, but you can't finish it."
Jiang Yun lost his appetite once he started working: "Help me eat."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows: "If you don't help, don't you know how thin you are?"
Jiang Yun said absentmindedly: "Then I will eat more at noon and dinner."
"OK, but I'll keep an eye on you." Lu Huai took the plate in front of Jiang Yun and said naturally, "Baby, please bring me the soy sauce."
Jiang Yun was so immersed in his work that he forgot that the twins were sitting opposite him. He was caught off guard and reached out for the soy sauce.
When his hand was halfway extended, Jiang Yun suddenly realized something was wrong and subconsciously raised his head.
Three hands reached out from three different directions toward the bottle of soy sauce. The father and his two sons maintained the same movement, each with a different expression.
Lu Chao: “???”
Jiang Mu: "!!!"
Jiang Yun: “…”
Lu Huai had never been so flattered in his life, and hurriedly said, "No need, dears, please stop, I'll do it myself."
Jiang Yun withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. The twins began to use their anti-human communication method to communicate in encrypted form again.
Lu Chao: Who was Dad calling just now?
Jiang Mu: ...Can’t you see this?
As Lu Huai poured soy sauce on the fried eggs, he raised the corner of his mouth and sighed: "The peak of life is just like this."
This Alpha's smile was so satisfying, so handsome and annoying that Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask, "Does it feel good to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor?"
After sleeping for a week, I have two cute babies who are willing to help me pass the soy sauce. Anyone would be unhappy.
Lu Huai thought about it and had to admit, "It's really cool now. But if possible, I don't want to [sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor] at all."
Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes: "Colonel Lu not only sleeps easily, but also speaks easily."
In the first few years after the twins were born, he couldn't remember how many nannies there were in the house.
If Lu Huai were really asked to take care of two babies at the same time, he would be obedient in no time.
Lu Huai lowered his eyes and sighed pretentiously: "Don't keep telling me it's easy, Jiang Yun, I don't want to either." Lu Huai said, and smiled again with bright eyes, "I can't wait to put them both back in the crib and raise them with you all over again."
Lu Chao crossed his arms and refused firmly: "Goodbye, I don't want to study for ten years again."
Jiang Mu asked curiously: "Why not put us back into daddy's belly?"
Without waiting for Lu Huai to answer, Lu Chao said, "That's fine. Put it back in so I can come out of daddy's belly first."
Jiang Mu said coldly: "You might as well try harder and absorb me directly, and live as an only child."
Lu Chao was completely confused, like a poor student: "What do you mean? Can I still absorb you?"
Jiang Yun and Jiang Mu looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.
Just as Lu Huai was about to explain, Jiang Mu stopped him.
"I advise you not to," Jiang Mu said with great experience, "otherwise, you might have to start explaining from the first book, the first chapter, the first line of biology."
The doorbell rang at this moment.
"I'll go open the door." Lu Huai stood up and before leaving, he encouraged his wife and eldest son, "Don't give up so easily. As long as the three of us work together, Lu Chao can still be saved."
Jiang Mu looked at his father's departing back, hesitant to speak.
Jiang Yun patted the back of Jiang Mu's hand and said, "Give your father some more time, he will realize it."
Before opening the door, Lu Huai had already learned the identity of the visitor through surveillance.
After not seeing him for seventeen years, that guy still looks asexual and ascetic, with the word self-discipline emanating from head to toe.
It was as if he had discarded all unnecessary emotions, and no matter what he looked at, his eyes were as calm as if he was reading academic materials.
——Fu Mingqian, his good brother who never dated his wife after his "death".
Lu Huai opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
There was no small talk, no need for sentimentality; this was how he and Fu Mingqian had always gotten along.
The friendship between him and Fu Mingqian had already been clearly demonstrated by Fu Mingqian's help and support to Jiang Yun every time over the past seventeen years.
As soon as he announced his resurrection, he sent Fu Mingqian two words - thank you.
If there is more, it will be meaningless to say more.
Fu Mingqian looked at Lu Huai, also without much emotion: "I'm here to investigate why you haven't died in your seventeen-year sleep."
It had been a long time since Lu Huai had communicated with the Alpha who didn't talk nonsense. He couldn't help but laugh: "So impatient?"
Fu Mingqian nodded. "Yes, I can't wait to open your chest and see how your heart works. I'll also open your skull and examine your brain."
If the Intelligence Bureau were to conduct a skills assessment on Fu Mingqian, Fu Mingqian would definitely get the [Highest Limit] in [Non-Violent Induction].
To see how good Fu Mingqian is at killing people with words, just look at how deeply Jiang Yun resents him for saying, "Find an Alpha and have another one."
"I asked him to come." Jiang Yun walked over and said to Lu Huai, "You should have a comprehensive examination, Colonel Lu, including both physical and psychological levels."
Lu Huai seemed to be somewhat resistant to the inspection Jiang Yun mentioned: "Okay, you have the final say."
"Foreign Minister Jiang," Fu Mingqian and Jiang Yun shook hands quickly, "I bought some desserts for you and the children on the way."
Jiang Yun took the dessert and smiled, a rare smile: "I need to change my clothes. Dean Fu, would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"
The incredibly beautiful smile made Fu Mingqian's human-like eyes suddenly show a trace of vigilance. He looked behind Jiang Yun and asked, "Is Lu Chao here?"
Jiang Yun said: "Yes."
Fu Mingqian immediately took a step back: "No, I'll wait for you in the car."
