Chapter 1056: Home Is So Comfortable
“Chen Lanying studied all those years for nothing,” Lu Yuqing said. “I don’t know what benefits she has received, but she is very short-sighted.”
“By the way, what did Lu Weihua’s parents say? Do they want the child?” Jiang Yao still remembered the child she left behind at the police station.
“Lu Weihua’s parents did say that they wanted the child, and they were willing to go to Jin City to get the child personally. However, Lu Weihua suddenly returned and said that the child is suffering from a severe illness. They don’t know if the child is his or not, but he did not want the child. He wants to divorce Chen Lanying and marry that Xiao Hong woman. When Lu Weihua’s parents heard that the woman was also pregnant and that it was a son, they seemed a little shocked. Until now, they’ve not made their way to Jin City yet. So, we don’t know if they still want Chen Lanying’s child or not.” Mrs. Lu came out with some washed fruit and happened to hear that sentence. “From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem to want the child.”
“If no one picks up the child, the police will send him to an orphanage. An orphanage with better conditions may be able to send him to a hospital for treatment,” Jiang Yao said. “Even if the child’s illness is difficult to treat, it is not something that the doctors can’t cure.”
The most important thing was that the illness was detected early. If the child was diagnosed in time, what disease could they not control?
Lu Yuqing took a bite of the apple and praised the sweetness of the fruit, and then she continued to say, “His mother wanted to leave him at the army entrance out in the cold, and even wanted to throw him to his death. He was too unlucky to have such a mother, not to mention his father. Even if his grandparents took him in, they would not pay much attention to him, especially when his illness needs money and they are getting a new grandchild. When that time comes, his younger brother would be healthy, and he would be a sickly child. He would not get much attention at home. His stepmother may not even be a good person.”
Mrs. Lu nodded and continued with Lu Yuqing’s words. “At least, he might get adopted if he’s in the orphanage. There is also a high possibility that he will meet adoptive parents who are good to him. He won’t have a good life with the Lu family. Therefore, it’s better for him to stay in the orphanage.”
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu went back to the kitchen to get busy. It was not long before the smell of food wafted from the kitchen.
While they ate, Jiang Yao sat on the sofa and leaned her back against Lu Xingzhi’s chest. She chatted lazily with Lu Yuqing while they ate some fruit. Occasionally, she would poke her head out to ask for fruit. Then, she would be fed two pieces. The atmosphere at home was very relaxed; there were no worries.
Mr. Lu sat and chatted with Lu Xingzhi as he observed the interaction between Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao. He was relieved when he saw that the intimacy between the young couple was completely different from when Jiang Yao had started school.
He thought that the young couple had a great relations.h.i.+p.
That meal was dinner for Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao, but it was a midnight snack for the rest of the Lu family. The meal was delightful, and the family of five was constantly laughing. After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room until it was almost midnight before they went upstairs to rest.
After they walked into their bedroom, Jiang Yao threw herself on the bed and rolled twice. She sighed and said, “Home is so comfortable. Mom’s cooking is so much better than yours!”
Lu Xingzhi’s eyes were filled with a doting smile when he saw Jiang Yao rolled around on the bed.
