Chapter 340 An unexpected decision
Lu Xingchen asked Ethan Lu in return, “Then is it appropriate for you to tell me now that you are good at Chinese?”
Ethan Lu: “It’s not inappropriate, you won’t tell grandma.”
"How do you know I won't tell you?"
"Can you say it?"
"...I really won't." To be honest, even if she put aside his relationship with Lu Dingsheng, Lu Xingchen still thought Lu Yisen was very interesting. Anyway, she liked him. She picked up the tablet and started to order food. "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever you eat, I will eat."
Hearing this, Lu Xingchen looked at him again, and Ethan Lu looked into her eyes and said, “I’m not picky about food, but I want to see what you like to eat. Do I think it will taste good?”
"When you grow up, you will definitely be liked by many girls."
"Although I am still young, do I dislike you?"
This made Lu Xingchen want to laugh, but he felt a little heavy because he asked her back what she said. He didn't ask directly "Will you like it?" but asked her "Will it disgust you?"
Apparently, even though he acted like a little adult, he was actually very cautious and sensitive, trying hard to read the expressions of adults and live his life.
Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment and answered directly: "Not only do I not hate you, I like you very much."
This time it was Ethan Lu’s turn to be stunned for a moment, then his little face turned slightly red, and he finally couldn’t help but pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, “Thank you.”
"You're welcome." Lu Xingchen looked at the menu with a smile and said, "Then I'll order."
Although Ethan Lu spoke like an adult, when Lu Xingchen ordered, she still chose food suitable for children. After ordering, she looked at him and asked formally, “Now, can I ask why you thought of coming to me?”
Ethan Lu, who got her like, looked at her for a moment this time and replied, “The way you look at me is different from others. I know that many people don’t like me, but I think that shouldn’t be everyone.”
Seeing that he was calm and didn't look sad, Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are many people who don't like me."
Then, looking at his childish eyes, she said again without hesitation, "I can't make everyone like me, but I do like you."
This time, Ethan Lu couldn't even hide it, he just smiled, revealing a mouthful of white baby teeth. Lu Xingchen felt that he looked especially like a child at this time, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
But this sadness is not only because of Lu Yisen, but also because of Lu Dingsheng.
Probably because Ethan Lu had mixed-race looks, she didn’t think that Ethan Lu looked like Lu Dingsheng before, but when he laughed so happily today, it made her easily think of Lu Dingsheng’s laughing face.
Thinking of this, although she didn't know whether Lu Dingsheng laughed often in front of other people or in his new family, she hadn't seen Lu Dingsheng laugh heartily for many, many years. She hoped that he could laugh often, and she also missed the way he played with her and laughed heartily with her on the badminton court when she was young.
So, at this moment, she suddenly wanted to rub Ethan Lu’s soft and slightly light-colored hair, but she just thought about it. Although she liked this child very much, she knew that some distances could not be closed at will if she or he wanted to.
So, after lunch, Lu Xingchen did not return to the company, but followed Ethan Lu directly back to the Lu family’s old house.
Seeing Lu Xingchen and Lu Yisen come in, Old Mrs. Lu who was sitting in the living room didn't seem surprised at all. She drank tea calmly and waited for them to come forward and greet her.
Lu Xingchen and Lu Yisen also followed the rules and politeness and greeted each other first when they entered the door.
The old lady just stretched out her hand to Ethan Lu and said, “Grandson, come here.”
Ethan Lu walked over, and the old lady reached out and touched his head and asked, “Did you go out for fun today?”
The old lady spoke in Cantonese, and Ethan Lu replied in English: “Yes, it’s fun.”
Mrs. Lu didn’t even look at Lu Xingchen, but pointed at her and asked Ethan Lu, “Did she bully you?”
Ethan Lu didn’t panic, but asked the old lady instead: “Grandma, do you think I’m being bullied, and I’m still trying to find her idiot?”
The old lady laughed softly when she heard that, and touched his head again. This time, she looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "You came at the right time. Xinyue and her family are also at the old house. They are picking vegetables in the garden at the back. Let's have dinner together later."
Lu Xingchen didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence, but since Lu Dingsheng was there, she should indeed go and say hello, and she would send Lu Yisen back, actually wanting to ask the old lady’s opinion and why she agreed to let Lu Yisen come to see her several times.
She didn’t believe it, just because of the exchange conditions offered by Ethan Lu, the clever one.
Now that Lu Dingsheng's family is here, it just so happens that she also wants to know their attitude towards Lu Yisen, and how Lu Yisen gets along with them.
It’s not that she intended to take care of this matter, but she simply wanted to observe the situation for Ethan Lu. After all, he was only five years old, and although the old lady was there, she did have some thoughts about the child in her heart.
So, she called Li Zhen in the middle of the trip and told him about her stay at the Lu family's old house. In the evening, she had dinner with Lu Dingsheng and the old lady.
Yang Wenqi was uneasy the whole day, but after seeing Lu Xingchen, she calmed down a lot, because Lu Xingchen's appearance distracted her attention from the pregnancy, aroused her hatred towards her, and also stimulated her new plans for the future.
So, halfway through the meal, Yang Wenqi, without discussing it with Lu Dingsheng in advance, smiled and said to the old lady: "Mom, Brother Sheng and I have discussed it carefully, and we want to bring Yisen back to live with us."
Old Mrs. Lu didn't expect her to say that, so her first reaction was to look at Lu Dingsheng.
Yang Wenqi did talk to Lu Dingsheng about this once, but he also said that this matter should be handled step by step according to the two children's degree of adaptation. Now that Yang Wenqi suddenly said this, Lu Dingsheng subconsciously looked at the two children's reactions first.
Ethan Lu was quite calm, he just stopped eating and looked at them.
Lu Xinyue was obviously a little resistant. She first looked at her mother in disbelief, then looked at him, and finally puffed her lips and pushed the bowl in front of her in, obviously very unhappy.
Lu Dingsheng felt that Yang Wenqi was indeed a little anxious, but since she had said it, he looked at the old lady and said, "We have discussed it, but we also want to hear the opinions of our two children before making further decisions."
Lu Xinyue immediately said: "Dad, I don't want him to go home with us!"
Yang Wenqi turned around and scolded her daughter, "Xinyue, Yisen is your brother, you can't do this."
After all, Lu Xinyue was still young, and she was worried that her father would not want her when her brother came back. Seeing that her mother did not stand on her side but on Ethan Lu, her eyes immediately turned red, and she answered without restraint: "Mom, don't you dislike him too?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Wenqi had been very anxious recently. After hearing this, she immediately reached out to pull her daughter to look at her directly, "Didn't I always tell you to treat brother Yisen well?!"
Being so fierce to her mother, Lu Xinyue was frightened and burst into tears. "Didn't I say I didn't want it? Since you asked for my opinion, why didn't you let me tell the truth?"
"Lu Xinyue..."
"All right."
"All right."
The old lady and Lu Dingsheng spoke at the same time, and Lu Dingsheng stopped talking and let his mother speak. Old lady Lu said, "You don't have to argue. I'm in good health now. Yisen can continue to live with me in the old house. You don't have to worry about me not being able to teach the children well when I'm old. But isn't Lu Xingchen recognized by you as excellent? So I decided to let her teach Lu Yisen."
