Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 648 Strawberry Mousse Cake

Tao Shenxing finally figured out the whole story and looked at Lucas with admiration.

Unexpectedly, Lucas quietly used a big move and had a direct "duel" with Lu Jingying.

But Tao Shenxing didn't expect that Lu Jingying would have this attitude.

He thought that based on the control Lu Jingying had shown recently, she would fly into a rage and demand that Lucas obey her.

But if you think about it carefully, although Lu Jingying's requirements for Lucas are quite strict, in fact, they are not to the point of being harsh or pathological.

Judging from Lucas' attitude, it doesn't seem like he was brainwashed by Lu Jingying, but he really loves his mother.

He believed that everything his mother did was for his own good.

After all, Lucas is a grown-up and should not be without any judgment. This means that Lu Jingying's control over Lucas is not to demonstrate the mother's dominance over her child, nor is it to manipulate his life.

Tao Shenxing thought for a long time and came to the conclusion: "Aunt Lu doesn't have enough experience in raising children!"

To put it bluntly, isn't this just "overdoing it"?

Xiang Jiri raised his hand and tapped Tao Shenxing on the top of his head: "How can you talk like that? You are so disrespectful."

Tao Shenxing quickly hid behind his head, muttering softly: "I didn't say anything wrong."

"I think you don't have enough experience either as a child or as a human being." Xiang Jiri rolled his eyes at him.

Tao Shenxing wanted to say, "Isn't this what you and dad taught me?", but his head was still aching, so he kept his mouth shut.

Lucas hesitated and said, "Aunt Xiang, can I really not go look for my mother?"

Xiang Ji Ri looked at Lucas' face. There was only worry and anxiety on his face, without any dissatisfaction or complaints.

She said, "If you really want to go, then go ahead. I believe you will be able to resolve the conflict with your mother."

Lucas nodded heavily and ran towards Lu Jingying's room.

Tao Shenxing hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately did not follow.

Although he was curious about how Lucas and Lu Jingying would talk, and was worried that they might quarrel, he could not interfere too much even though he was Lucas' friend.

Lucas has learned a lot recently and has tried again and again to change Lu Jingying's mind.

Now, too, he should be given the opportunity to try independently.

Anyway, they are all in this house, and if anything really happens, he and his mother can rush over immediately.

Tao Shenxing decisively put aside his worries, grabbed the towel and rubbed his hair vigorously, trying to dry it as quickly as possible.

As for the hair dryer? Forget it. Tao Shenxing thinks the noise from the hair dryer hurts his ears. He would rather dry his hair into a mess than use a hair dryer.

Xiang Ji Ri saw him as a stray evil fleece, so he could only turn a blind eye and lower his head to check his phone.

She planned to order takeout for dinner, and also ordered a strawberry mousse cake for Lu Jingying.

For a mother, the growth of her child should be something worth celebrating.

However, given Lu Jingying's personality, she would most likely get stuck in a rut and wonder if she is no longer needed.

But with Lucas here, it should be fine.

Therefore, Xiang Ji Ri only had to do the finishing work, for example, letting Lu Jingying eat her favorite sweets.

The plump, bright red strawberries are 90% sweet and 10% sour, with firm flesh that is juicy when you take a bite.

The light cream floats on the crystal strawberry jam topping, and underneath is the moist and delicate cake base. Will your mood improve just by looking at it?

Thinking of this, Xiang Jiri's mouth corners curled up.

I hope her friend can take that crucial step with her child by her side.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk."

There were three knocks on the door, with even the intervals between them being almost the same.

Lu Jingying thought that this was what she had taught Lucas. If there was no response from the other side of the door, she could knock three more times after a while, and then try to call for help on the third time.

This kind of etiquette should be good, right?

It’s really good. Others praise Lucas as a good and polite child, and she is very proud of him.

As a result, she ignored the fact that such standardized upbringing could be a burden to a child.

Lu Jingying wanted to cover her ears, but the knock on the door came a second time as she expected.

She couldn't let the knock on the door ring a third time. She didn't want to hear with her own ears how she was oppressing Lucas.

Lu Jingying supported herself on the edge of the bed, stood up, and walked towards the door.

She was originally sitting on the floor, lying on the edge of the bed, just like she did during her rehabilitation, because she couldn't properly support her body with her hands and could only lean like this.

You can also bury your face in the sheets and hide all the sweat and tears.

Before Lucas knocked on the door for the third time, the bedroom door opened and he saw his mother's haggard face.

But his mother was still willing to face him, and Lucas felt that this was a good start.

He looked at Lu Jingying seriously: "Mom, can we talk?"

Gu Qinghuan also taught him to use such a gentle tone and words. Many people are soft-hearted and do not respond to toughness, not to mention that Lu Jingying has a very strong personality.

If he acted as if he was going to stand against Lu Jingying from the beginning, communication would become difficult.

Lu Jingying's hand was still on the door handle. She looked at her son silently, no longer wearing the mother's filter, but trying to observe Lucas objectively.

He has grown much taller than her. It's so amazing. In her memory, he stumbled over, hugged her calves, tilted his head back and babbled "Mom". It seemed like it happened just a while ago.

He stands upright, without hunching his shoulders or slouching at all. When he speaks, he looks at the person seriously, without any small movements, and does not appear to be disrespectful.

This habit is not a bad thing, and Lu Jingying does not think that her teaching is wrong. However, how much pressure did Lucas endure because of her requirements during the process of growing up?

Did she stifle the child's nature and instincts, and destroy the other kind of happiness he might have had?

Lu Jingying moved her lips and asked in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"

Lucas did not respond immediately, but looked around, or rather, looked at the area outside the door where he was.

He said, “Can I sit down and talk?”

Use simple questions to express your intentions. Even if you get a negative answer, you can still see the other party's attitude from it, so you can quickly retreat and regroup.

It was a fairly simple test. Although it might seem abrupt to some people, Lu Jingying and Lucas were mother and son after all, so such a test was completely feasible.

Although Gu Qinghuan can teach more complicated methods, there is no need to think too much between relatives. Sincere family affection is the best pass.

Lu Jingying opened the door a little wider and turned around to walk into the room.

There was no point in her worrying alone. Even Lucas had made an effort to communicate with her. As a mother, Lu Jingying could not slap away the hand he extended.

She was afraid to face her mistakes and afraid that Lucas would be disappointed in her.

But she was more afraid that she couldn't let Lucas be happy.
