Although Lu Meihua looked very serious, Shu Xin could tell that she still cared about Tong Qiao. It was probably because she had been in a high position all year round, so she seemed a bit unsmiling.
Lu Meihua didn't stay long and asked Aunt Lin to entertain Huo Yanqing and the others well. Then she went to the baby room to see her granddaughter for a while and then left.
Lu Ziqian seemed to be a little afraid of Lu Meihua. When Lu Meihua came, he had been quiet and well-behaved, said nothing, and looked very reserved. It was not until Lu Meihua left that he ran to Shu Xin, raised his little head and cared about her, "Aunt Shu, your eyes Why are you so red? Did someone bully you?"
Shu Xin knelt down and touched Lu Ziqian's head, "No one bullied Auntie. Auntie went to see a relative. That relative left me. I'm a little sad."
Lu Ziqian's black grape-like eyes flashed with a trace of sadness that was not for his age. He hugged Shu Xin, and patted Shu Xin's back gently with his chubby little hands like a little adult. He said like a kid: "Auntie, please don't do it." It’s sad that our loved ones left us and went to heaven. He is watching us in heaven. We can’t cry, otherwise he will be sad.”
Shu Xin felt warm in her heart and nodded. How could this child be taught so well? This was so considerate. Qiaoer actually called him a little devil every day. She wanted to take such a child home and raise him, okay
At around five o'clock in the evening, Shen Tingxi and Mu Jingping came.
Everyone had dinner together. After dinner, Mu Jingping went upstairs to talk to Tong Qiao, Shu Xin was downstairs with Lu Ziqian assembling the robot, and Huo Yanqing, Lu Jinshen, and Shen Tingxi were still sitting around the restaurant drinking.
Huo Yanqing had just had surgery and couldn't drink too much. After two drinks, she stopped drinking and sat there chatting with them.
Lu Jinshen felt heavy and not in a good mood because Huo Yanqing told him that the traitor might be Fu Zhengyao, so he kept dragging Shen Tingxi to drink.
At around nine o'clock, Lu Ziqian was sleepy, and Shu Xin took him to wash up. After lying on the bed, Lu Ziqian seemed to be energetic again. His eyes were big and black, and he looked at Shu Xin as if he was begging, "Aunt Shu, can you give it to me?" Tell a bedtime story?”
Shu Xin thought that Lu Ziqian was used to listening to bedtime stories to sleep, so she said, "Okay, where is the bedtime story book?"
Lu Ziqian lowered his eyes and looked a little lonely, "No, just tell me whatever you want."
Shu Xin thought Lu Ziqian wanted to sleep, so she didn't pay much attention and asked casually: "Doesn't your father read you a book when he tells you a bedtime story?"
Lu Ziqian shook his head, "Dad is very busy and has no time to tell Ziqian stories."
Shu Xin is ready to ask Tong Qiao
When she thought about Tong Qiao's carefree personality and her "non-dealing" with Lu Ziqian all day long, I'm afraid she wouldn't think of such careful things.
Just listen to Lu Ziqian's somewhat lonely little voice continue to ring in the room, "I heard from the children in the kindergarten that they fall asleep listening to bedtime stories every day. Ziqian has never heard it before, and Ziqian wants to hear it."
"Have you never heard a bedtime story?" Shu Xin was a little surprised.
Lu Ziqian shook his head.
"Don't your mother often come here to see you? I heard from Tong Qiao that occasionally your mother would pick you up to live with her during the holidays. Doesn't your mother tell you bedtime stories?" Shu Xin was purely out of curiosity. That’s why I asked.
Lu Ziqian was silent for a long time. When he finally raised his eyes to look at Shu Xin, there were tears in his eyes, "Zi Qian doesn't like mom."
Shu Xin inexplicably felt particularly sorry for Lu Ziqian, and asked almost subconsciously: "Is your mother treating you badly?"
