Chapter 256 – when will you and Mama get married? (3)
Tuantuan was laying over the small desk at the side, doing her homework well-behavedly, not saying anything, just listening in.
Li Xing sat in front of the desk and looked expressionlessly at him. “Old Lu, sometimes I truly feel that you’re not suitable for relationships, just raising kids. That’s all. Qiqi is a good girl, so don’t waste her time.”
“…” Lu Ting was looking down at the documents. After hearing what he said, he continued signing the papers.
When Tuantuan heard this, she turned over and said, “Uncle Li, don’t attack my Papa like that. Mama said that no one is born knowing everything in the world. Just because Papa is clumsy with Mama doesn’t mean Papa will be clumsy forever. You don’t know this, but Papa is much better than before! At least he’s starting to care for Mama now.”
Li Xing felt his brain hurt when he thought of how he messed up his carefully arranged date last night.
At this moment, Tuantuan took out a note from her pencil box and passed it to him. “Papa, Teacher Le asked me to inform you to add her on WeChat. She has something to talk to you about.”
Lu Ting had always been very concerned with matters concerning the girl and didn’t think too much about it. Taking the phone number from her, she added her on WeChat.
In less than half a minute, the friend request went through.
Mrs. Le with her cartoon profile picture sent a teasing emoticon to Lu Ting before sending a text over.
“Hello, Mrs. Lu. I’m Lu Junyi’s class teacher, Le Xiao. Next Monday, the class will be having a parent-child activity that requires the presence of both the mother and the father. I’ve already contacted Ms. Lin on my said and she said she will be going to another city to promote a movie next Monday, so she’s not available to go. That is why I’ve added you in order to send you the event schedule.”
“Sure.”
“Can you come, Mr. Lu? Parent-child activities can help parents maintain a good relationship with their children. It can form a great environment for children to grow up. As a teacher, I hope you can attend.”
“Sure.”
“It’s decided then~ I’ll send you the schedule now. [mischievous grin]”
…
Lu Ting carefully scanned through the schedule as well as the things he had to prepare. Thinking it was no big deal, he forwarded the message to his assistant and asked him to prepare everything.
After sending the message, Li Xing asked. “Tuantuan’s teacher? Is she pretty? Hey, introduce us.”
Lu Ting swept a glance at him. “You already have Jiang Mucheng, why are you still hopping to get on another boat?”
Li Xing blew up immediately. “Shit! Talk properly, when did Jiang Mucheng and I have anything to do with each other? There’s absolutely nothing between the two of us! We’re innocent.”
Lu Ting nodded. “Yes, innocent. Taking a girl to an amusement park every week, very innocent.”
Li Xing lost his temper. “Hmph! You don’t even know what romance is. I’m not going to argue with you.”

Meanwhile on the other side.
Le Xiao was holding her daughter, Liu Xue’s, hand, waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.
After sending a message to Lu Ting, she received a balance notification from her bank. When she saw the bill on her phone, she felt like her head was going to explode.
She graduated from a prestigious school and her family situation was not bad. She met her current husband in college. Her current husband, Liu Tong, was also well off and he was a good man. In his early thirties, he had already reached the top ranks of the Qiancheng Group.
He was an excellent husband who loved her and their daughter very much. As long as there was something she wanted, her husband would buy it for her. The family of three lived happily together. She was responsible for taking care of the kid while the husband makes money to support the family.
But just a month ago, her husband, Liu Tong, was suddenly fired by Qiancheng Group. She had no idea what happened after that, but her husband suddenly owed a debt of ninety million. In order to pay off the debt, she sold both the houses they had before and after the wedding, borrowing money everywhere they could, and finally cleared the debt.
Recently, her husband had been drinking at home and was in a state of collapse. In order to make ends meet, she came out to find a job. Even with such difficulties, she still insisted on sending her daughter to an international kindergarten. To make things easier, she also enrolled in the same school as a teacher.
Red lights off, in came green.
Le Xiao was holding her daughter’s hand, ready to cross the street when she suddenly received a call.
The man on the other side of the phone asked, “Hello, is this Mrs. Le? This is the Tianshui District Police Station. Is your husband’s name Liu Tong? 35 years old, from B City.”
“That’s right. What’s wrong, officer?” Le Xiao subconsciously pressed her hand against her chest as if she had understood something.
