Chapter 1159: Chapter 1159 Dad and Mom are indeed in cahoots
Lu Yichen had initially wanted to say that it was too cold to go out, and it would have been fine not to go, but thinking of what his daughter had just said, he couldn’t let down his wife. He imdiately changed his mind, “Mom is right, persistence is key in everything to develop good habits.”
Yanyan pouted, thinking that her dad and mom were indeed in cahoots.
Realizing this, she then spoke up, “Dad, mom said we will go back during May Day next year, and then we can see you.”
Lu Yichen, hearing his daughter say this, knew his wife must have agreed to Yuan Jianing coming back for her wedding.
He was quite happy to hear the news. They would also finish their conference at the end of April, so perhaps they could fly back ho together. Thinking of this put him in a great mood.
Thinking of his return, bringing his wife and their little ones back, he figured he would be the envy of everyone.
Stone saw him lost in thought and directly snatched the phone, “Hello, Yanyan, did you miss your uncle?”
“I missed you. Uncle, are you about to have a holiday?”
“Yes, sadly I can’t spend the New Year with you all. Uncle really misses you.”
“Uncle, in a few days, great-grandma will go back, and mom even prepared a gift for you.”
“Can you secretly give your uncle a little hint?”
“No, mom said it’s supposed to be a surprise for uncle and Taifeng.”
“Oh, well alright then, you’re a trustworthy little beauty.”
On hearing it was their uncle, Yueyue squeezed next to her sister, “Uncle, where’s great-granddad?”
“Don’t you miss your uncle?”
“I do, I miss him so much I can barely rember.”
This comnt had the adults sitting in the living room laughing.
Old Master Gu, hearing Yueyue was looking for him, quickly snatched the phone from Stone, “Yueyue, do you miss great-granddad?”
Yueyue bead innocently, “Yes, great-granddad, mom said she’ll make lots of cream pies and have grandma bring them back for great-granddad to eat.”
Old Master Gu, hearing this, felt sweetness in his heart, “Right, where’s your mom? Great-granddad has sothing to tell her.”
Yueyue turned and handed the phone to her mom, “Great-granddad has sothing to tell mom.”
Luo Qiao took the phone, “Grandpa, go ahead.”
Old Master Gu rembered his son’s call, “Qiaoqiao, you know about your aunt’s pregnancy, right?”
“Yeah, Yichen ntioned it to .”
She slapped her forehead, how could she have forgotten about it? She’d call her aunt shortly to check in.
“You know she’s not young anymore, remind her to be careful when you talk to her.”
“Okay, grandpa, I’ll call my aunt in a bit.”
“Do you have her phone number?”
“Yes, Yichen told . I’ve got it morized.”
Finally, the phone returned to Lu Yichen’s hands. However, with too many eavesdroppers on both ends, he couldn’t speak mushy words, so they just exchanged a few private codes only they knew, and he quickly hung up.

Zhai Yuyuan left her house and arrived at the public security bureau only to find that no one was there. She ca under the pretext of family friends, but the officers weren’t clear on the details, so they politely asked her to wait in the small reception room.
She ended up waiting until after 2:00 PM. Lu Yichen had just heard upon entering the public security bureau gate that a daughter of the family friends was looking for him and was still upstairs in the small reception room.
His face darkened. He sent soone to confirm that she was still there, then turned and walked out.
In the yard, he took out his phone and directly dialed the Zhai family’s number. Coincidentally, it was Old Master Zhai who answered, “Hello, who is this?”
“Old Zhai, it’s , Lu Yichen.”
“Calling, is there sothing?”
“Your granddaughter has been sitting in the public security bureau all morning, and I heard she even ate her lunch here. Please, have soone from the Zhai family co take her away. My patience also has its limits. If you don’t handle this, I will have to step in. She may not care about her reputation, but I still need to maintain mine.”
After hanging up, he re-entered the building and went to the Criminal Investigation Departnt’s office area, where he could clearly see everything happening in the lobby.
Old Master Zhai had just co back. In the morning, a neighbor had invited him to browse the antique market, and they ate lunch outside. He had only just returned and wasn’t aware that the worry-free one had run off and shad herself again.
Shaking with anger, he called his eldest son, Zhai Hongtao, ordering him to quickly bring people to fetch that disgrace ho.
Just then, his daughter-in-law, Li Yuduan, entered, “Dad, what’s wrong? You look upset.”
Old Master Zhai took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, “When did Yuyuan leave the house?”
Li Yuduan thought for a mont, “Around nine o’clock. She said she wasn’t feeling well and was going to the clinic to check, but she hadn’t returned by noon. I even went to the clinic across the street after finishing cooking, but couldn’t find her.”
Hearing this, Old Master Zhai’s face grew even gloomier. It was truly embarrassing to end up at the public security bureau, no wonder the young Lu was so unpleasant. Anyone would be angry in his place.
