Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, seeing her former idol standing in front of her, Wu Yu felt a strong sense of unreality. Although she was already married and had children, when she saw Jiang Fei, she instantly thought of her youth. She looked at Jiang Fei with a hint of infatuation and gentleness.
Lu He inadvertently turned his head and saw his wife looking at Jiang Fei with such a gentle gaze. He was almost angered to death. He wasn’t dead yet,and she wanted to seduce a man in front of him?
Lu He suppressed the anger in his heart and prepared to teach Wu Yu a lesson after Jiang Fei left.
The three of them sat down at the dining table. Soon, Lu Rou came out of the room. Tonight, Lu Rou had specially dressed up and put on the popular “peach girl makeup”. She looked extremely youthful and cute.
After Lu Rou sat down, she smiled sweetly at Jiang Fei. The four of them began to eat. During the meal, the topics they chatted about were all unimportant things, such as Jiang Fei’s recent schedule or Lu He’s company matters.
When the meal was coming to an end, Jiang Fei turned to Lu Rou. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Mr. Lu, I’ve prepared a house in the city center for Xiao Rou. The procedures Vill be completed in a few days. She can move in anytime. Xiao Rou is still your daughter, so I want to ask for your opinion. Do you think it’s okay?”
Jiang Fei’s attitude was still very polite. He did not directly say that he wanted to take Lu Rou away. He only asked her to stay in the house he had prepared. This arrangement would not only give him more opportunities to meet Lu Rou, but it would also not agitate Lu He and his wife.
Lu He and Wu Yu looked at each other.
Lu He put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Rou lovingly. Then, he said to Jiang Fei, “Mr. Jiang, you’re too polite. You’re Rourou!s biological father. You can arrange these things. As long as Rourou is willing, her mother and 1 have no objections. 1 only hope that Rourou can come back often to see us in the future. We’ve raised Rourou for so many years and really treat her as our biological daughter…”
At the end, Lu He’s voice was a little choked up. Wu Yu looked at her husband in a daze. She did not expect her husband to cry just like that. His acting skills were no worse than those actors in television dramas.
Seeing that Wu Yu was still in a daze, Lu He kicked her under the table. Wu Yu immediately woke up and pinched her thigh. It was so painful that her eyes turned red. Then, Wu Yu echoed, “That’s right, Rourou,although Daddy and Mommy haven’t told you the truth all these years, we all love you…”
Lu Rou looked at her parents’ extremely sad expressions in front of her and felt a little uncomfortable and awkward. The three of them were clearly a real family, but now they had to act like this in front of Jiang Fei.
Lu He had also considered the risk of acting in front of the Best Actor, so he poured a lot of wine for Jiang Fei during the meal. Although Jiang Fei didn’t really want to drink, Lu He was Lu Rou’s adoptive father after all. He still wanted to take Lu Rou away, so he was too embarrassed to refuse. He almost drank half a bottle of wine.
At this moment, Jiang Fei was already a little drunk and didn’t notice Lu He and his wife’s exaggerated acting. His voice was a little light as he sat up straight and said to Lu He, “Mr. Lu, don’t worry. As long as Xiao Rou wants to go home in the future, I won’t say anything. The two of you have raised her for so many years. I’m really grateful to you. If you need my help in the future, just ask. I’ll definitely do my best.”
Lu He smiled in satisfaction. There were too many things he needed Jiang Fei’s “help” In the future, Jiang Fei would be their family’s new money tree! Lu He was so smug that he wanted to laugh. Just as he was about to say a few more polite words to Jiang Fei, he saw Jiang Fei’s body tilt and fall to the dining table.
Wu Yu was shocked and hurriedly said, “Mr. Jiang, are you alright?”
Hearing Wu Yu!s anxious and concerned tone, Lu He glared at her and lowered his voice. “It’s just some wine. It won’t kill him. Why don’t I see you being so concerned about me?”
Wu Yu was a little speechless and could not be bothered with Lu He. Seeing that Jiang Fei was really drunk, Lu Rou called the servants over and asked them to carry Jiang Fei to the empty room upstairs.
Jiang Fei’s thoughts were corroded by the alcohol, but he did not fall into a deep sleep after lying on the bed. The burning pain in his stomach still kept him awake. The conversation at the meal today was considered harmonious and smooth. Lu He and his wife did not stop him from taking Lu Rou away. This was much better than he had expected..
