[108]
The meeting with Mr. Lu was quickly set on a date.
Contrary to what Chi Qiu thought, when Mr. Lu saw him, he didn't lose his temper at all.
On the contrary, the old man distressedly called him to come closer, and held Chi Qiu's wrist: "I've heard about your family's affairs. Lan Yan is a straight-minded kid, just like your grandfather who doesn't know how to calculate. Once you meet Those who have a lot of ghost intestines will suffer, and you will also suffer."
He sighed and said, "It's because I'm getting older and I don't hear much about you. I don't even know you're being wronged." After finishing speaking, he gave Lu Ming a stare.
Chi Qiu didn't know about the old man's tricks, so he hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, everyone has helped me a lot, and I haven't suffered any serious grievances."
Mr. Lu was deep in thought, drooping his head, hesitant to speak. He thought about it for a while, and didn't say much about their decision. Although he didn't want them to divorce, in the end, after listening to Chi Qiu's explanation, he nodded without saying anything and agreed.
The affairs of the young man cannot be the wishful thinking of his old man after all.
Because of Chi Qiu's grandpa's face, Mr. Lu could accuse Lu Ming, but he couldn't say a harsh word to Chi Qiu.
Naturally, Chi Qiu did not tell the story of Lu Ming's fraudulent marriage. The reason he gave to Mr. Lu was very simple. He only said that he and Lu Ming got married too hastily and needed to reconsider and start.
Or maybe this reason fully shows that the two have not broken up, and there is still hope of remarriage, so Mr. Lu accepted the reality frankly.
However, he has a request.
"Xiaoqiu, grandpa's health is getting worse day by day, and he can't handle many things. You also know that Lu Ming's father is incompetent. He is looking forward to your divorce now..." He sighed annoyedly, and said helplessly, "I am I intend to suppress him, and I also intend to send the members of the Zhen family out of the company one by one. In this way, no matter whether the company is in the hands of Lu Ming or Yin Liang in the future, I will feel more at ease."
Lu Ming, who was standing by the side, probably guessed the meaning of old man Lu. He said bluntly: "Grandpa, it was a wrong decision for you to let people from the Zhen family join the company." It can't be blocked anymore.
Mr. Lu coughed.
Chi Qiu was so frightened that he quickly tugged at the corner of Lu Ming's clothes.
Lu Ming frowned, obviously complaining in his heart that Mr. Lu allowed Zhen Zhen to come in. But he listened to Chi Qiu, and Chi Qiu told him to stop, so he stopped.
And Mr. Lu also regretted it: "Back then, she took Yin Liang and knelt in front of my door to admit her mistake. When I heard Yin Liang's cry, my heart softened all of a sudden. I just thought, I will keep Yin Liang by my side and take care of her." I drove far away, but I couldn't bear the fact that this blood relationship is endless. But my soft heart really hurt you and your mother's heart. Therefore, I can understand that you refused to come to me later. your mind..."
Time is not forgiving, and the always strong Mr. Lu actually let go for the first time: "I was confused back then and did something wrong, which made your mother and you have a very hard life."
"..."
Lu Ming gritted his teeth. He no longer has the armor of emotional apathy, and the struggling emotion on his face is clear at a glance.
But Lu Ming didn't speak again.
The three were silent one by one, and even the tea on the table was no longer steaming. Chi Qiu touched the rim of the teacup, took a sip of the cold tea, and sat upright uneasily.
After a while, Mr. Lu touched the wrench on his thumb, and said in a heavy tone, "Xiaoqiu, Lu Ming, I want to ask you one thing."
"Grandpa, please tell me!" Chi Qiu tensed his nerves in order to ease the atmosphere.
Mr. Lu looked at the wisp of incense by the wall, and spoke in an aging voice very slowly: "I hope that the news of your plan to divorce will be kept secret for the time being, and give me some time. I have a plan in mind, and I need to deal with something."
He cast his eyes on Lu Ming, and there were countless meanings in his gloomy eyes: "I also hope that you will be satisfied with the result of my treatment."
Lu Ming was startled, lowered his eyebrows, guessed something in his mind, but couldn't be sure.
Mr. Lu didn't let them stay for a long time, so he sent people to see them off soon.
Chi Qiu sat on the co-pilot in the car, at a loss. He understood what Mr. Lu meant, but he didn't understand what the "result of the treatment" Mr. Lu said. But Chi Qiu felt that this was not something he should take care of, so he simply didn't ask.
On the way, Chi Qiu was greedy and wanted to eat oranges.
Lu Ming drove directly to the mall, and the two of them pushed the shopping cart together and strolled through the spacious aisles of the supermarket.
Generally speaking, their way of shopping is that Chi Qiu reports what he wants to eat and use, and Lu Ming leads him there, telling Chi Qiu where he is in the same way, and Chi Qiu holds it and puts it in the basket. . This kind of boring behavior became a little game for them today, and Chi Qiu enjoyed it so much that he bought a lot of things unknowingly.
When checking out, Lu Ming caught sight of the condoms on the shelf from the corner of his eye. He stood calmly, calmly took a box from the shelf and put it on the cash register.
The cashier scanned the QR code as usual: "Do you want a bag?"
"Yes." Lu Ming took the first step and put everything into the bag.
Chi Qiu wanted to help carry it, but Lu Ming refused straight away: "You can just lead me." He held the thing in one hand, and touched Chi Qiu's arm with the other, "Otherwise I get lost, and you have to post a missing person notice. "
"You really like talking nonsense now." But Chi Qiu is very useful to this set, he smiled happily, and walked arm in arm with Lu Ming, "I just heard you took something from the shelf, it's awesome sugar?"
"Well, it's indeed a lollipop. But I didn't take it, it was the people behind."
"Anyone behind us?"
"Yes." Lu Ming beat him to death.
Chi Qiu couldn't figure it out, he obviously didn't hear the sound of a cart being pushed behind him. But he thought, Lu Ming is not blind, so he must be right.
...
When the two arrived home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Ming sorted out the things he bought by himself and put them where they should be one by one.
Aunt Zhang seized the time and brought a glass of water, a plate of snacks, and a few bottles of medicine: "Sir, it's time to take medicine in the afternoon. You should eat something to fill your stomach first, otherwise you will hurt your stomach on an empty stomach."
Chi Qiu thanked him obediently, and touched the dessert plate.
Lu Ming helped him pick up a piece of not-so-sweet handmade pastry and put it in Chi Qiu's hand: "You said it was delicious last time."
"I'm tired of eating." Chi Qiu continued to touch the dim sum on the plate, and when he touched a piece of mung bean cake, he shook his hand, "This one is not sweet, and this one is also delicious."
He opened it and generously gave Lu Ming the first bite.
"It's not sweet, it's delicious."
"Don't think I don't know, you only like to eat sweets." Chi Qiu set the rules for Lu Ming, "But eating too much sweets is bad for your health, so we can't overeat sweets in the future."
In the past, Chi Qiu couldn't control him and didn't dare to control him, but now Lu Ming blatantly invited him to control himself.
"Okay, I'll correct it." Lu Ming wiped the corner of his mouth, thinking it was very delicious. Because what Chi Qiu sent over was sweet to some extent.
For Aunt Zhang, it was dog food.
Aunt Zhang watched with a smile, as if watching an urban idol drama. Seeing that Chi Qiu had almost eaten, she went to get the medicine bottle on the table.
Lu Ming stopped him: "I'll do it." He picked up medicine bottles of different sizes and poured out the corresponding amount of each medicine.
Aunt Zhang nodded, and did not forget to tell: "Mr., before taking the medicine this time, remember to drink a sip of water to moisten your throat, otherwise you will easily choke your throat. I am still cooking soup in the kitchen, so I will go to work first."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Chi Qiu listened to Lu Ming pouring the medicine, and stretched out his hand obediently, "Actually, I adapt quite quickly, and I can do these small things by myself."
Lu Ming refused: "I like to help you do it, can't I?"
These words sound nice, Chi Qiu is acting like a good boy because of the cheapness: "Okay, then I will give you this chance."
Lu Ming took the opportunity to kiss him and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The days that followed passed quickly.
The autumn day outside the window walks towards the winter day, and everything is depressed. The north wind in the morning often beats on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, and the noon sun has become the most precious thing in this season.
At night, people who love each other will embrace each other and sleep. It's just that the condom that was prepared in the drawer early in the morning is brand new, and I have never had a chance to use it.
After all, Chi Qiu studies hard every day. At night, he must be drowsy. It would be great if Lu Ming could kiss him a few times.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Ming couldn't bear to tire Chi Qiu at all.
Many times, Chi Qiulian would be so tired that he dozed off during the day. He often falls asleep in the afternoon sun in the front yard with his tablet in his arms, without even having time to pause the audio...
Most of the information given by Chi Lanyan and Ji Feining is too puzzling. As long as Chi Qiu can't figure it out, he will keep looking up the information or asking Lu Ming who is free until he understands it.
Lu Ming felt distressed, but he supported Chi Qiu's efforts very much.
Whenever he saw Chi Qiu taking a nap, he would carefully take out the tablet in his hand, bend down and kiss Chi Qiu's lips.
Chi Qiu sometimes pretends to be asleep, but Lu Ming can always see through easily, because often a kiss can make Chi Qiu's ears turn red, turning into a red cherry falling on a branch in the sun.
