Lu Beiyao was practically speechless. He reached out and pulled Li Siru tighter into his arms. Li Siru didn’t resist; she was quite cooperative. Lu Beiyao glanced at her and, with a furrowed brow, said, "Now that Yingying has been sent away, are you, feeling bored, here to interfere with us having kids again? Since you want a grandchild, I’ll do my best to grant your wish!"
Ji Niandong, as if invigorated, looked at Li Siru, feeling she was quite impressive for managing to handle Lu Beiyao so swiftly. However, Li Siru remained expressionless, neither as humble nor as kind as before, but she was silently indifferent.
Tu ijiao still felt sowhat frustrated, "Beiyao, you don’t want to go to the hospital? How about mom goes to the hospital and gets you so dicine?"
Ji Niandong almost laughed out loud. This... truly is a real mom! She felt increasingly awkward!
Lu Beiyao’s face turned thoroughly red. Looking down at the woman in his arms who bore a triumphant smile, the blush of anger dissipated. This smile seed familiar, yet it had been so long, he nearly forgot when he first saw it.
Suddenly, Lu Beiyao felt calm. He simply pulled Li Siru a little closer and replied indifferently, "Whatever you like."
By saying this, wasn’t he solidifying Li Siru’s indirect false accusations? Tu ijiao’s heart was a tumultuous mix; feeling heartbroken on one hand, but finally believing her son was willing to cooperate on the other.
Li Siru was completely stunned, expecting him to be furious and directly expose her, leaving her the target of everyone’s criticism again. Who’d have thought he’d actually accept such false accusations.
Maybe, it was true?
He had so many won outside and even entangled with that woman in front of her... Thinking of this, Li Siru felt conflicted, releasing herself from his embrace and stood up, saying, "I’m going to the bathroom!"
As soon as she left, Tu ijiao wiped her tears and looked at Ji Niandong. Ji Niandong felt a bit uncomfortable, got up then sat back beside Lu Beichen.
Lu Beichen acted as if he had been waiting for her for quite a while. He naturally pulled her into his arms. Ji Niandong leaned back against him, seeming full of confidence, then looked up at Tu ijiao.
This little gesture was clearly observed by Tu ijiao. Although she felt uncomfortable, her deanor beca sowhat courteous, "Tongtong, Yingying learned a lot of lessons at the Tu Family these days. That day she went to the hospital to visit you with good intentions. She always speaks without thinking. If she has offended you in any way, as an older cousin, please forgive her?"
She certainly knew how to speak directly to persuade her!
Ji Niandong chuckled inwardly, replied with an unnoticeable tone, "Auntie’s words seem to imply that I want to hold grudges against Yingying, but I haven’t done anything to her."
Her tone was slightly cool, unlike her previously polite and tolerant manner.
Others didn’t seem to pay much mind. Lu Beichen suddenly held the little woman’s hand, playfully squeezing it, as if it were sothing amusing. Her hand was soft and slender, very pleasant to squeeze. Ji Niandong let him do so; their relaxed and lazy deanor was akin to a king reclining with his favored concubine.
Tu ijiao closed her eyes slightly, continued with a solemn expression, "Yingying grew up with , like my own daughter. I know exactly what kind of child she is. Her unpleasant words bear no ill intentions. Though the Tu Family is a reputable family, it’s still..." She paused, "Not as close as being by my side, so if she did say sothing to upset you, I apologize on her behalf. Treat it like it never happened, Yingying will be here soon..."
"Who told her to co over?" Lu Beichen said indifferently, "I asked her to return to the Tu Family. Does Auntie think I’m joking?"
