Chapter 789: Our Hearts Will Ache
Father Lu didn’t get any good looks from the Lu family, because he abandoned this family eleven years ago.
Old master Lu did not forgive him just because his eldest son was now helpless. Otherwise, what would the past eleven years be to Lu Jingzhi? Would it be fair?
The father and son broke up unhappily. In fact, it was Father Lu who was driven out unilaterally by Old Master Lu. Not only that, the old man also ordered the whole family not to mention this matter in front of Lu Jingzhi, just as if this person had never returned. But how would he know, that Lu Jingzhi knew it first.
At night, Luo City was shrouded in mist.
Jiang Yuning returned to her bedroom after washing up, only to see that Lu Jingzhi had already gone home, and was sitting next to the crib with his back facing her.
Jiang Yuning couldn’t see his expression clearly and she could only feel the sharpness and coldness of Lu Jingzhi’s body that were different from the past.
“Second brother…” Jiang Yuning walked over andlay on his warm back, as she put her chin on Lu Jingzhi’s shoulder, “What happened?”
“It’s okay.” Lu Jingzhi answered.
Jiang Yuning listened to this, chuckled, then got off Lu Jingzhi’s back and walked around in front of him. After squatting beside him, she looked up into his eyes.
“I have been observing you for so many years, so how can I be easily fooled by these words?”
“You have observed me for so many years, so don’t you think that I want you?”
“That’s different!” Jiang Yuning retorted quickly, not wanting to let Lu Jingzhi continue embarrassing her because she knew that she was already in trouble.
When Lu Jingzhi saw that Jiang Yuning was serious, he sighed, and held Jiang Yuning’s hand: “It’s really okay. I was just thinking about what is considered a qualified father.”
“It’s very simple, when he needs us, we are all there, that’s qualified.”
The answer was indeed simple, but it was very difficult to do.
“I see. I will take a shower first.”
Jiang Yuning saw Lu Jingzhi enter the bathroom, and then she sat down and thought quietly. This was because the second brother rarely did this, and he rarely showed that kind of powerlessness in front of others. Could you believe it? People like Lu Jingzhi would also doubt themselves.
Jiang Yuning recalled carefully that someone rang the doorbell this afternoon, but there was no further information. After she brought the baby to bed, Sister Liang did not mention a word about this matter at all. As she thought of this, Jiang Yuning dialed Sister Liang’s phone number, and before Sister Liang answered the call, she worked very hard to organize her own thoughts.
“Madam? It’s so late, is the young master feeling uncomfortable?”
“No.” Jiang Yuning pretended to be calm, and deliberately lowered her emotions, “Sister Liang, the distinguished guest who came to knock on the door today, if he comes again in the future, please just ask him to go. The second brother has been in a bad mood since he came back tonight.”
“Young mistress, did your husband tell you about it? I didn’t expect it to be your husband’s father at all. I didn’t know where he came from at the time, so I called sir first. I was not deliberately concealing it from you so please don’t take it to heart.”
Jiang Yuning knew about it now.
It was because of Lu Jingzhi’s father, that second brother had more than once doubted whether he could be a good father.
And tonight, second brother’s mood was obviously lower.
“Sister Liang, I’m sorry. In fact, second brother didn’t tell me anything, and I can’t ask him directly. So, I had to say what I said to get you to reveal everything to me, but I won’t tell him that I already know about it. You can just treat it as if you haven’t answered my call tonight. That’s it, I will take care of the rest.”
Sister Liang hesitated for a moment, but she still agreed, because she had long felt that concealing this matter from Jiang Yuning was definitely not the answer.
She hoped that the couples would not have any conflicts.
But she thought about it a lot, and she felt that these two people were both types of people who would rather suffocate themselves than resent each other.
She thought about how heartbroken Jiang Yuning would be when she heard the news?
After putting down the phone, Jiang Yuning also fell into a sense of powerlessness, but when she heard the rushing sound from the bathroom, she suddenly became awake. Why was she so emotional? Miss Fu’s affairs had already been told to her clearly and clearly that in this world, whether it was a wealthy family or an ordinary family, it was never blood ties that could maintain the relationship between relatives, but mutual sincerity.
In that case, why was she still stuck in the puzzle of this native family?
After thinking it through, Jiang Yuning decided to untie this knot for her second brother. Because the husband and wife had something in their hearts, the family of three was quiet this night.
Only two days later, Jiang Yuning asked Father Lu to meet her at the Lu family mansion.
She let the old master Lu clear the ground, and she also concealed this matter from Lu Jingzhi in the afternoon when she brought the bodyguards with her to the Lu family mansion.
At this moment, in the living room, only Father Lu and Jiang Yuning who appeared in the living room of Lu’s house holding Shouyi.
If she hadn’t already become a mother, Jiang Yuning felt that she would give in at the first sight of someone. Since she was a mother, she would be stunned.
“Yuning…”
When Father Lu saw his grandson, his eyes were glowing with desire. He wanted to get closer to his grandson, but Jiang Yuning did not do what he wanted. So, she only put Shouyi back in the crib.
“Dad…just take a look at him like this, and it can be regarded as your wish.”
Father Lu hurriedly sat down next to the crib, looking greedily at the round Shouyi.
“After seeing Shouyi today, I only hope that you will stop disturbing the lives of our family of three. I don’t know when it started, but for second brother, your existence has become the sharpest knife because of everything you did to him back then.”
Father Lu sat down next to the crib after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words and his wrinkled hands began to tremble.
“As a daughter-in-law, do you think that it appropriate to tell your father-in-law this?”
“I think it’s very appropriate. You have been gone for eleven years, and you were completely gone from his life. What are you going to do when you come back now? Pull his wounds and come back to pick up a grandson for nothing? Do you know that because of your cowardice and your avoidance, he asked me over and over again if he could be a good father? Today he asked me the same question again. He asked me how he could be a qualified father? The harm you caused to him, the shadow you left behind, will follow him in this life. Do you still have the face to come back now?”
“He is Lu Jingzhi, but because of you, he doubts himself and he is afraid that he will become like you.”
“If you still have a conscience and if you still have a trace of sincerity towards him, please disappear from his life and don’t cause secondary trauma to him again. You might not feel distressed, but every one of us in the Lu family will feel distressed if he gets hurt again!”
After saying this, Jiang Yuning wiped away her tears stubbornly, but her next sentence was still mixed with tears as she said: “I really tried for a long time before I can warm up his heart again. So, can you stop it? Can you leave so that he will not turn back to the cold person he was again?”
