Chapter 400: Call Me ‘Mommy’ From Now On
Old Master Lu pushed his hand away and said, “It’s not to the extent that I need to take medicine.”
He had finally learned that he was too old to compete with young people now.
Lu Heting was able to manage Lu Group at such a young age. In just a few years, he had expanded the company dozens more times than he did during his time. No matter what, he had to admit defeat in front of his grandson.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat,” Old Master Lu said as he picked up his chopsticks.
The whole family ate in silence. Even Lu Weijian, who usually livened up the atmosphere, was silent today. He picked up his bowl and started eating.
After dinner, Lu Heting left in his car.
Old Master Lu asked Lu Weijian to stay. “Weijian, tell me about Su Bei and her child. Your brother is one matter, but what’s wrong with you? You’re not obedient at all anymore.”
Lu Weijian had a bitter look on his face. This had nothing to do with him.
He did not do anything, but he was always the one getting dragged into messes.
“I… I suddenly remembered something. I have a meeting with a client to talk about business. Grandpa, I’m leaving now. I’ll come to see you next time.” Lu Weijian was so eager to live and slipped away.
Old Master Lu was so angry that he slammed the teacup on the table. “Don’t come back after you leave!”
Matriarch Lu tried to persuade him. “Well, at least we have one more precious great-grandson now. Even if we can’t see him for now, he’s still a member of our Lu family. Think about it, there’s another child in the family now.”
“Yes, that’s true.” Old Master Lu was appeased.
…
With Aunt Chen’s company, Gun Gun arrived at Liao Xintong’s house.
Gun Gun did not really like the Liao family. Only his impression of Liao Xintong was better. Every time he came, he only hung out with her alone.
Liao Xintong was also happy to build a good relations.h.i.+p with him.
As soon as he arrived, Liao Xintong hurriedly gave him all kinds of delicious snacks and fun toys. She hoped that Gun Gun would like them and want to come look for her more often in the future.
“Thank you,” Gun Gun said politely.
He already had all these toys. He was not pleased to see them here.
The food was not as delicious as Bei Bei’s food either. After taking two bites, he stopped eating.
“Are they not to your taste, Gun Gun? Do you want something else?” Liao Xintong asked gently.
Gun Gun politely said, “No need. I’m full.”
“Gun Gun, look at this picture book. Every family here has a daddy, mommy, and children. Let’s read this story together, okay?”
After reading the story to Gun Gun, she smiled gently and asked, “Gun Gun, do you like this story?”
“Yes, I like it.”
“Gun Gun, can you call me ‘Mommy’ from now on? Mommy will read you this story every day, okay?”
Gun Gun’s face darkened. Mommy? Did she want to live with him and Daddy?
He used to wish for a gentle mommy whenever it was his birthday because all the other children had a mommy.
After Bei Bei showed up though, he no longer had that wish. It seemed that it did not matter anymore.
Gun Gun looked at Liao Xintong and asked, “Aren’t you my aunt? Why do I have to call you ‘Mommy’?”
“Because you’re my favorite person. I want to be your mommy,” Liao Xintong said gently, “Gun Gun, do you want me to be your mommy?”
Gun Gun did not know what was going on but he felt a little uncomfortable. Although she was quite good-looking, she seemed to speak with hidden meanings.
…
Lu Heting was thinking, ‘No.’
