Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Defection
Lu Ruisheng looked at Lu Ruiming’s sleazy and timid appearance and really didn’t like it, “I’m not hitting you. It’s Second Uncle who has co, and your grandma has a ssage for you.”
Hearing that the old lady had a ssage, Lu Ruiming finally stiffened his spine, “I knew grandma loves the most.”
After speaking, he turned to the unfamiliar face of Lu Jianshe, “Hello, Second Uncle.” After all, Second Uncle was the one bringing the ssage, so he should listen to Grandma more, right?
Lu Jianshe looked at Lu Ruiming, who didn’t resemble Lu Jiancheng at all, and smiled, “This kid really looks…’spirited’.”
Lu Ruiming thought Second Uncle liked him and beca even happier, “Second Uncle flatters , I just take after the Lu family.”
Lu Jianshe’s mouth twitched. This kid looked bizarre and couldn’t distinguish good words from bad; bringing him back for the old lady to see would be perfect, to show her how excellent Shengsheng is by comparison and to make her utterly miserable.
With a forced smile and insincere words, Lu Jianshe said, “Yes, yes, just like your dad.”
Lu Ruiming was quite pleased, “My mom also says I look like my dad, it’s unfortunate he passed away early. I’m glad you’re here, Second Uncle, I’ve been missing grandpa and grandma.” His aning was clear—he wanted to go with Lu Jianshe to the main base.
Lu Jianshe had co precisely to persuade him to go to the main base, and unexpectedly, he was even more eager than him, which was a real ti-saver.
But they were also worried, and Lu Jianshe asked, “Is your mom willing to go to the main base with you? To be honest, our Lu family is quite open-minded—if she wants to remarry, we support it. But you are her only son, is she willing to let you leave her? Our Lu family has few children, even if we find Shengsheng, we still hope you can return. The conditions at the main base are much better than here.”
Listening to Lu Jianshe’s words, Gu Pan could tell that Second Uncle was a very clever man. His words carried many implications, each capable of moving Lu Ruiming, and even subtly incited strife between mother and son, Lu Ruiming and Zhang Huishu.
Hearing Lu Jianshe’s remarks, Lu Ruiming suddenly seed to realize sothing, no wonder Zhang Huishu refused to let him go to the main base no matter what. It looked like she just wanted to find a man for herself, but didn’t want him to be out of her control. How selfish of her? Ruining such a great future for herself just to find a man—can’t she live without a man? Why was his mother like that?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he beca, “Second Uncle, I am a child of the Lu family. No matter what, I must return to be near grandfather and grandmother. My mom has found soone new; I won’t obstruct her pursuit of happiness. I’ll go with you.”
While they were talking, Zhang Huishu just happened to co out from the house below, seeing them wasn’t exactly a coincidence.
She sensed that sothing was amiss and ran over, seeing Lu Jianshe, she panicked slightly. Could it be that the old lady sent him to pick up the child?
She was also frustrated, it wouldn’t matter even if Lu Ruiming resembled her, but he didn’t—he resembled his biological father more and more. It would be fine if his biological father was unknown to the elderly Lu couple, but wasn’t that exactly who they knew?
Previously, she thought of going to No.7 Base; after all, Lu Jianguo didn’t recognize Lu Ruiming’s biological father, they wouldn’t discover anything.
Once at No.7 Base, she realized Lu Jianguo, though slightly older than her, was more handso than Lu Jiancheng and had a commanding presence, steady and mature; honestly, she was attracted.
She thought it would be nice to build a life with Lu Jianguo; he could be good to her son too, but it turned out Lu Jianguo had absolutely no such intentions, and several of her seduction attempts failed. She planned to try harder, but then Lu Jianguo found his biological son, and since there was a conflict between his son and hers, she had to give up.
She understood that she couldn’t go to the main base, so recently she spotted a decent job; the man could support both her and her son, so she quickly started a relationship with him.
She planned to stay with this man, then send a telegram to the elderly couple at the main base, saying she had remarried. She wanted her child to stay with her and asked for so benefits from them to ensure a worry-free life. This was the safest solution.
But now that Lu Jianshe was here, how could she not panic, “Second brother is here for business?”
Lu Jianshe said, “Business and personal matters, but mainly to see the child.”
Which child that was, he didn’t specify.
Zhang Huishu felt cold in her hands and feet from nervousness. She had dealt with Lu Jianshe before; he was very smart. When they were around the old lady, they had a bit more confidence, but now she was facing Lu Jianshe alone, and she truly felt panicked.
Moreover, she didn’t expect Lu Jianshe to co personally. Before, she thought about the old lady missing her grandson, but after all, it was the apocalypse, she thought as long as she didn’t bring Lu Ruiming there, who could control her?
Regarding her son’s identity, her husband had died, and she just needed to assert her stance, not letting the elderly see him, and there would be no problem.
But now that Lu Jianshe was here, she was indeed caught off guard.
She responded to Lu Jianshe, “Second brother, if you wanted to see the child, you should have let them co over. You’re at the door; co in and sit in the house. Ruiming has been missing you.”
No dog would believe this nonsense, let alone people, but Zhang Huishu could say such things without batting an eye.
Lu Jianshe didn’t object; with so many people around, going to their house was not dangerous, so he said, “That sounds good.”
Gu Pan noticed that Second Uncle was quite aloof outside, very different from how he was at ho; not to say, Lu Ruisheng inherited this trait from his father and Second Uncle. At ho, he was a chatterbox, but outside he was absolutely profound.
Zhang Huishu led them to their ho, walking while thinking about what to say later; there was no way she would let Lu Ruiming go to the main base.
Once inside, the decor and layout were the sa as the one Gu Pan and the others had rented, their house hadn’t changed much, so it felt familiar.
The house had no living room, just two bedrooms. Zhang Huishu took them into Lu Ruiming’s room, as her own room had a man’s clothes, which were not suitable.
After everyone had found a seat on simple plastic stools, which made sitting down quite crowded, Zhang Huishu didn’t sit but poured water for them and stood by the wardrobe, leaning on the wardrobe door.
Lu Ruiming spoke first to Zhang Huishu, “Mom, I want to go to the main base with Second Uncle.”
Zhang Huishu imdiately objected, “It’s just the two of us left in our family; you still want to separate? I don’t agree.”
Lu Ruiming said, “Then you co with , let’s go and seek refuge with grandpa and grandma. We’ll definitely have a better life there than here.”
“No way, we are familiar with everything here; starting afresh at the main base is out of the question.” Zhang Huishu naturally disagreed.
