Chapter 2009: Gossips
Other things were unimportant, but she was enraged when she heard others use the word b*stard to describe her and Lu Xingzhi’s baby.
However, those people did not dare to say anything in front of her, so even if she wanted to scold them, she could not do so.
“What did they say?”
Lu Xingzhi’s eyes darkened, and the evil look on his face appeared quickly. He asked again gently, “Tell me what they said.”
“They gossiped that the kidnappers raped me, that the baby is not yours but one of the kidnappers!”
Jiang Yao gritted her teeth. Her eyes became even redder after she said it.
Lu Xingzhi, who was afraid of scaring Jiang Yao, did not hide his brutality as he released it at that moment.
Jiang Yao was his life, and the child was his life!
Someone has bullied his two lives!
“Why are their mouths so vicious? Did they witness me getting kidnapped and defiled with their own eyes? Are they G.o.ds or prophets? Do they know that my child isn’t yours? They can’t stand that you pamper me like a young lady. What right do they have to say such hurtful words? My husband’s family spoils me, and it has nothing to do with them. They aren’t happy and have worked hard for themselves. What right do they have to say that I’m spoiled?”
Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao in his arms and patted her gently on the back. She seemed to be furious. Othervvise, she would not have said such words.
“Don’t be angry. Let’s eat. I’ll settle this matter after we finish eating.” Lu Xingzhi pulled Jiang Yao up. “Next time, if you are unhappy, don’t keep it to yourself. Tell me.”
“You were cooking. I don’t want you to spoil the food; that’s why I didn’t tell you,” Jiang Yao replied in a m.u.f.fled voice.
At that moment, Lu Xingzhi’s mood was like a volcano about to erupt, but her nonsense explanation still amused him.
She was worried that the knowledge would affect his training and work, but she was not worried about the food.
“Nothing is more important than you.”
...
Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “I made some delicious dishes for you tonight. I remember that you liked Mom’s cooking at home.”
Jiang Yao took a bite. She sniffed. “You put too much sugar. It’s not as good as
Mom’s cooking.”
“I’ll make it better next time.’
Lu Xingzhi comforted Jiang Yao in a low voice. He knew that she was in a bad mood, so she tried to change the topic to divert her attention. Most likely, he was afraid that she would cry if she continued to stay quiet.
She was not a crybaby. In fact, she was someone strong. She felt that it was very cowardly to cry because of that kind of thing.
However, Lu Xingzhi wanted to tell Jiang Yao that it was her right to cry when she felt wronged. She did not need to be so stubborn.
The meal was quite light. After dinner, Lu Xingzhi coaxed Jiang Yao, who was back to her usual self, to go back to the bedroom to rest.
He did not leave the house. He did not go anyvvhere except to look for Zhou Junmin.
It was still early, and Zhou Junmin was not in the dormitory. He was playing basketball with other people on the basketball court. When Lu Xingzhi learned Zhou Junmin’s location, he turned around and went to the basketball court.
Zhou Junmin had just walked into the basketball court when Lu Xingzhi arrived. He was drenched in sweat as he patted the basketball and ran toward
Lu Xingzhi.. He smiled and asked, “Colonel Lu, are you here to play basketball?
You’d want to play with us? Aren’t you accompanying your wife?”
