Chapter 17 Daddy! I'll cry!
Chapter 17 Daddy! I'll cry!
"Hmph! Trying to tattle?"
When Lu Junxing came out of the shower, he found his mother in his room. His mother hadn't been in his room since puberty, and now she was squatting next to his troublesome son.
Knowing the troublemaker's nature, he assumed she was complaining about him because of the standing punishment.
"Hmph~, no way! Telling on others is something only children do, I would never do that!"
Hearing this, An'an felt looked down upon by her father, so she angrily ran over and tried to bang her head against Lu Junxing: "You're a bad daddy!"
"Hey~, let's ignore your dad. An'an was clearly reflecting on herself just now, thinking about why she was being punished by standing in the corner, right?"
“We’re not like your father, who makes us stand as punishment without explaining anything! That’s not gentlemanly behavior!”
Ms. Song Yuan knew she had neglected her son too much. She hadn't disciplined him like a typical mother, nor could she be as shameless as Lu Jing.
She disregarded everything and said whatever came to mind to her son, even if it always ended in an argument.
Hearing these pointed words, Lu Junxing remained silent and offered no explanation, knowing that Ms. Song Yuan was speaking up for the young girl and subtly alluding to him.
He reached out and pushed the little girl, who was still foolishly banging her head against his stomach, away, then grabbed the suit jacket beside him and was about to put it on.
"You...you're still going to the company?"
Upon seeing this, Song Yuan frowned. Always projecting a strong, assertive image, she couldn't help but ask questions with a commanding tone.
"I have things to do tomorrow, so I'll go back to my room tonight!"
Lu Junxing didn't look at her. He simply lowered his head, put on his wristwatch, and then beckoned to a little girl who was busy packing diamonds and jade beads into her teddy bear backpack, signaling her to follow him.
When Ms. Song saw that her child wanted to come along, she really couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Wait, An'an can stay here for now!"
"We'll look after them. You're so busy with work that you can't take care of the kids!"
"Tsk~!"
Lu Junxing wasn't good with words, so he simply poked the crown on the head of the little girl who had come running over to sit next to his leg.
"Come on! Tell your grandma, will you cry if you stay here by yourself tonight?"
"Is Dad here too?"
"I'm not here!"
As Lu Junxing worried that the troublemaker wouldn't understand, he added, "Just you! Will you cry?"
"Daddy! I'm going to cry!"
An'an nodded, showing her tiny teeth, and answered earnestly, seemingly oblivious to the change in atmosphere.
"Ugh~, I can't see Daddy, I'm going to cry my eyes out~"
"Daddy? Are you trying to make me cry? Do you want to get a new baby?"
"Your grandma misses you terribly! If you don't want to cry yourself to death, then follow me!"
After speaking, Lu Junxing didn't wait for Ms. Song Yuan's reaction and strode out. An'an, seeing this, hurriedly followed, afraid that the man would leave her behind.
Hearing the noise, Lu Jing came out of his study and saw his good son carrying his beloved granddaughter's pajamas and hoodie, coming downstairs. His silly granddaughter was still laughing and saying...
"Daddy~, this feels so good! My legs aren't tired at all. From now on... I want to do this all the time~"
"I don't want to walk~, hehe~"
"That staircase was so tiring~ From now on... from now on, can I come down like this? Daddy? Even when you're old and about to die, I'll carry you like this~"
The problem was that she was so short, and the old house didn't have any low stools for children, so she couldn't reach the elevator button by herself.
So young girls usually have a habit of climbing stairs, using both hands and feet to go up and down. In addition, the elevator in the old house is only used when the old man's legs hurt.
Everyone else still habitually takes the stairs and doesn't consider the elevator. An'an gets exhausted every time she climbs them by herself.
"Where are you going so late? Why aren't you taking the kids to bed? What are you doing?"
"Grandpa~, we have to go to work now~"
"Goodbye, Grandpa? Do you want to come with us?"
"Go to work? What kind of work is it this late?"
After spending the day with the girl, Lu Jing could roughly understand the meaning behind her words, and upon realizing what she meant, he coldly said to Lu Junxing...
"If you're working overtime, go by yourself! Why are you making the kids so late? They're growing so fast!"
"If you're going to leave, then leave quickly. Leave the child here; it'll be An'an's birthday soon, and your uncles and aunts can see her! The old house hasn't been lively in a long time."
Lu Jing waved impatiently at the man, signaling him to leave, and then came over to pick up the child.
"What kind of behavior is it to carry a child like that? What if you strangle him?"
"Keep her birthday simple! Don't make a big fuss!"
Lu Junxing dodged his outstretched hand, changed his posture to pick up the child, and without saying a word, walked past him to leave.
"Hmm! Although things are turbulent at the Gu family's side, An'an is our Lu family's granddaughter. I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on her?"
Seeing this, Lu Jing stepped forward and stood in front of him. He was a shrewd businessman and always kept his word. Hearing his words, Lu Jing assumed that he was worried that someone from the Gu family might harm the child.
"If Gu Nanxu can't even handle this little thing, then I don't think the child needs to go back to France!"
"Birthdays only come once a year. Do you think my granddaughter, Lu Jing, has to be afraid of this and that just to celebrate her birthday? That's a joke! People would think An'an is some illegitimate child who can't be brought into the light of day!"
"If Gu Nanxu has the ability to take over from Old Madam Gu, then let her take over! If she can't even protect the children's safety because of this, then even if she takes over, let's see who can trust her abilities?"
"There's no need to involve those hypocritical business people on a child's birthday; it's the child celebrating their birthday!"
Lu Junxing didn't explain to him that the outside world was different from their country, and that not every country was so peaceful, but Lu Jing was used to being arrogant and wouldn't listen.
Besides, they're talking about completely different things. There's no need to turn a child's birthday into a fame-seeking arena, a platform for adults to pursue their own interests.
Ignoring Lu Jing's madness, he covered the child's ears with his large hands, picked the child up, and strode out.
