Chapter 244 - 244 My Mommy is an Angel from the Sky

244 My Mommy is an Angel from the Sky

The Second and Third Born found Lu Gui quickly. He stared at the four little ones in shock.

“Why did you four use the lock to lock your parents inside?”

The First Born blinked innocently, “We were playing hide and seek.”

The First Born didn’t want his uncle to know about their parent’s separation. His grandma had asked him to not tell anyone about that because it would embarrass his mommy and daddy.

!!

Lu Gui didn’t question him at all and unlocked the lock while smiling at the children.

After the door opened, Xie Yunjin glared at the four little ones while Lu Jiao stared down at Lu Gui.

Lu Gui was confused, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Lu Jiao chuckled, “Go fetch your brother-in-law some hot water so he can bathe.”

Lu Gui went as told while Lu Jiao took the four little ones back to their west bedroom. She warned them in a serious manner, “If you have something on your mind, you can talk to your dad and me about it. Why do you play tricks on us at such a young age? If I catch you doing this again, I will punish you!

Remember, when it comes to your family or people you care about, don’t play tricks. That would hurt their feelings.”

The four little ones listened seriously and realized what they did wrong, “Mommy, we know we were wrong now. We won’t do it again.”

The four little ones were very happy. Their mommy and daddy were going to sleep together! It was okay that they got in trouble because they were going to get a little sister soon. Once they get a little sister, their mommy won’t abandon them! They’ll have a mommy forever then.

That night, Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin really did end up sharing a room. One slept on the ground while the other slept on the bed – similar to their setup back at the Lu family home.

Lu Jiao lay on top of the bed and thought of Xie Yunjin’s legs. It’s only been a month and not yet two, it was bad for him to sleep on the ground.

She whispered, “Starting tomorrow, you sleep in the principal room in the front courtyard.”

Her words dampened Xie Yunjin’s mood and he didn’t respond.

Then, Lu Jiao added, “Your legs aren’t fully healed yet, and sleeping on the ground is bad for you.”

Xie Yunjin’s low mood swung upwards. He snuck a peek at Lu Jiao and noticed that there wasn’t a lot of space between them. A smile blossomed.

“I got it.”

The next morning, Lu Jiao woke up a little late. Xie Yunjin and Lu Gui worked together to make breakfast.

By the time Lu Jiao got up, breakfast was ready.

When she walked into the dining room, everyone turned to stare.

Lu Jiao wore the coral-colored dress that Xie Yunjin bought her. She wore the coral upper garment with the long coral dress, matched with the set of silver jewelry.

Lu Jiao was naturally pale with a pink undertone. She was somewhat curvy and the bright-colored dress made her appear more dazzling than a flower.

Coupled with her confident demeanor, she oozed with elegance and charm.

Xie Yunjin stared at her, utterly stunned. She knew Lu Jiao would look good in colorful clothing but he had no idea the result would be this shocking. Right now, she was like a delicate flower that grew up under the most meticulous care. Anyone would want to hide her in their home so nobody else gets a glance.

The four little ones forgot how to close their mouths as they studied their mother. Their mother was this good-looking? She was prettier than them!

Lu Gui’s eyeballs almost popped out. That was his sister?!

She looked like a wealthy daughter raised by a rich family. There was no way she grew up in the countryside.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but giggle after she saw the stunned look on everyone’s faces. Amused, she spun around in the living room and asked, “What do you think? Do I look good?”

Xie Yunjin answered without thinking, “You do.”

He grew embarrassed right away and looked away.

The four little ones were not at all shy and ran towards Lu Jiao to hold onto her.

“Mommy! You’re so beautiful! You’re like the angel in the sky!”

“That’s right, my mommy is an angel!”

“I look just like mommy!”

The Third Born enjoyed checking out his own reflections and therefore knew his own face very well. When he saw Lu Jiao today, he knew right away that he looked just like his mom. If his mommy was this good-looking, then he must be this good-looking too! The Third Born laughed happily.

The Fourth Born expressed loudly, “I will make lots and lots of money in the future so I can buy mommy clothes! Mommy looks so good in those clothes!”

Everyone’s compliments made Lu Jiao embarrassed. She grinned, “Alright enough already. You’re making me want to hide.”

Lu Gui couldn’t help but say, “Sister, could it be that you’re not actually a child from our family? I think mom took you from someone.”

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes at Lu Gui. Honestly, she looked somewhat like Lady Tian. However, Lady Tian worked hard daily in the Sun and aged fast. That was why it was hard to tell.

The family ate breakfast cheerfully and spent the morning together harmoniously.

After breakfast, before they could even finish cleaning up, the broker arrived.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao went together to pick out which servants to hire. Of course, Lu Jiao had the say and he was only there for support.

When Lu Gui and the four little ones heard that they were going to hire some help, they were ecstatic. Excited, they tagged along and headed to the front courtyard.

The broker, who was a grandma, brought over 30 to 40 people. The group consisted of young and old, men and women.

Lu Jiao scanned the group and found some to appear quick-minded while others appeared more sluggish and honest. There were even some pretty young women amongst the bunch. When those girls saw Xie Yunjin, their eyes lit up, and they refused to look away. Silently, they calculated ways to get picked and stay.

The grandma broker stepped forward, “Yesterday afternoon, young master Han asked his servant to find me so I could bring some people for young master Xie and Lady Lu to pick from. I’m uncertain what kind of help you’re looking for, so I brought a whole group for you to pick from.”

Xie Yunjin looked toward Lu Jiao and asked, “What kind of help are you looking for?”

Lu Jiao thought about it and said, “Have them introduce themselves. I want to know where they’re from and what they’re good at.”

Xie Yunjin nodded and said to the grandma, “Have them introduce themselves and tell us what they’re good at.”

The grandma studied the family before her and forgot to retract her gaze. The family was absolutely beautiful. The husband was handsome and the wife was breathtaking. Their children were just as good-looking.

Given that the grandma didn’t respond, Xie Yunjin frowned a little, “Grandma, ask them to introduce themselves and tell us what skills they have.”

The grandma finally snapped back to reality and cursed herself. She’s been a broker for almost three decades and has seen all kinds of people. Yet today, she froze up because of one good-looking family. She must be losing it.

The grandma apologized, “I’m sorry, your family is so beautiful I became dumbfounded.”

She then shouted at the group of people she brought, “You all, introduce yourselves. As to whether or not you get to stay, that will depend on your skills and luck.”
