Spring Branches

The discussion about who Xiao Xiao would be with ended halfway through.

Lu Yichuang finally drove the car to an eight-star hotel, which was owned by the Lu Group and was one of the best hotels in the country.

As soon as they got off the car, many men and women in formal attire gathered at the hotel entrance, standing respectfully.

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yichuan nodded.

A young, beautiful and elegant woman came up and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, good afternoon. We have arranged a private room for you."

Mrs. Lu and the old man walked in front with their granddaughter, and Lu Yichuan followed behind. He walked very slowly, and it seemed that he was deliberately walking slowly.

Those people had already walked into the hall, but Lu Yichuan was still lingering at the revolving door.

Xiao Xiao let go of the two old men's hands, ran to Lu Yichuan, raised her head and asked in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you waiting for someone?"

Lu Yichuan finally looked back, shook his head, took Xiaoxiao's hand and walked into the hall: "It's okay, there's no one. Let's go."

The little boy said "oh" obediently, jumped and skipped holding his father's hand, and looked very happy.

A man, one big and one small, walked up to the two old men.

Mrs. Lu's face looked a little bad. She pulled Xiao Xiao over and asked Lu Yichuan coldly, "Lu Yichuan, what's wrong with you today? You seem absent-minded. If you have something to deal with, go back and deal with it before coming back. Don't disturb everyone's interest here."

Lu Yichuan looked calm and said indifferently: "It's okay."

Xiao Xiao raised her little head and looked at Lu Yichuan with a smile: "Grandma, please don't talk about Dad like that, okay? I feel very uncomfortable when you talk about Dad."

Mrs. Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, if you don't let me talk about your father, then I'll talk about you."

"If you don't say anything, Dad can say it to me...but I haven't done anything wrong, so it doesn't make sense for me to say anything. Right, great-grandfather." The little girl looked at Grandpa Lu on the side.

First, Mr. Lu thought that Xiaoxiao was a smart girl, and had the demeanor of them in their youth, so he suggested to Mrs. Lu that they take Xiaoxiao in to raise her.

From the perspective of Mr. Lu, he felt that Xiao Xiao was quite extraordinary. He was a person who didn't like children, but he liked this little girl very much. He concluded from the bottom of his heart that Xiao Xiao must have a special charm and would definitely inherit the abilities and property of the old people.

Even though it had not been officially decided that Xiao Xiao would follow them, in Mr. Lu's heart, Xiao Xiao was already following them.

Mr. Lu smiled and patted Xiaoxiao's head: "Yes, we Xiaoxiao are not wrong. Your grandmother said you are definitely wrong. We are not afraid."

Xiao Xiao continued, "It seems that everyone else is particularly afraid of Grandma and Grandpa, but I think you two are particularly close and amiable. I like you two very much."

Mrs. Lu said, "Do you think you are right?"

Xiao Xiao nodded heavily: "I'm not wrong."

Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, "Do you know that the revolving door almost caught your arm? You ran so fast and it wasn't steady at all. It seems that you are a little unsteady at such a young age, Xiaoxiao."

Just because of this?

A little dizzy.

If there is a possibility that what Mrs. Lu saw just now was just an illusion that Xiaoxiao wanted her to see, she actually knew what she should and should not do.

Both Mr. Lu and Lu Yichuang fixed their eyes on Xiaoxiao.

The little head moved and she opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly her eyes brightened and she looked straight at the woman at the stairs.

The three adults looked in the direction of the little one.

When they saw the woman at the stairs, both Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu frowned.

And Lu Yichuan showed a lucky smile.

Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Yichuan behind her and said in a trembling voice: "Dad...that's...Mom..."

Lu Yichuan nodded: "Yeah."

She stumbled back a step.

She said: "Then, what should we do?"

It seemed that the female teacher at the stairs had also noticed that several pairs of eyes were staring at her, and she also looked over.

When she saw the people standing at the door of the hall, her expression became a little subtle.

He was confused at first, then smiled and waved to them.

Old Mrs. Lu and Old Mr. Lu still had gloomy faces.

Since they met Tang Asi, many things have happened to them, and they are all bad things. This made the two old people guess that Tang Asi must have a bad fate with the Lu family.

So when they see old acquaintances again, they are not surprised but frightened.

After all, she is Xiaoxiao's biological mother and Lu Yichuang's legal wife.

As the elders, they knew Lu Yichuang's character best. Once he had decided on someone, he would keep her even if it meant giving up everything he had.

Xiaoxiao looked back at Lu Yichuan again and ran towards the female teacher.

As soon as she got there, she hugged the female teacher's legs tightly and started crying.

The female teacher was puzzled, but she still gently placed her hand on the little head, slowly stroking and comforting: "What's wrong? Don't be sad."

Xiaoxiao said: "Teacher... I'm so happy to see you."

The female teacher has no memory at this time. If they call her mother in a panic, she will be frightened and will no longer have anything to do with them. Instead, she will avoid them.

This is a very correct little thing to do.

Lu Yichuan, who was walking slowly from behind, was very pleased to hear Xiaoxiao's first words. He even felt that Xiaoxiao was exceptionally smart.

The female teacher smiled at Lu Yichuan and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu. Are you okay now?"

As she spoke, the female teacher looked at Lu Yichuang's fingers again.

He showed a surprised look when he saw that his ten fingers were connected intactly.

"Dad Lu, your hand..."

Lu Yichuan smiled awkwardly: "My hand is fine, it's okay. I found the severed finger in time that day and reattached it."

The female teacher said "Oh", then lowered her head and looked at Xiaoxiao who was crying beside her legs, still with great doubts.

Logically speaking, they should be happy and excited to see that the three of them are safe and can see each other again.

On the contrary, Xiao Xiao didn’t look happy. She seemed excited… but she couldn’t stop crying. It seemed like she was too excited???

Lu Yichuan saw the embarrassment on the female teacher's face, pulled Xiao Xiao over, and scolded her in a pretentious manner: "Xiao Xiao, you are a bit rude. Look at how many tears you have dripped on the female teacher's pants."

The female teacher was wearing a pair of pink suit pants. Her tears had just come out too much, and now it seemed that the tears had soaked most of her pants. It was particularly obvious, and it looked like they had been poured with water.

Xiao Xiao's eyes were red and she looked at the man above her head with grievance.

At this time, the two old men who had been standing behind him without moving came up.

Old Mrs. Lu pulled her granddaughter over, stared at Lu Yichuan coldly, and said, "What do you want, Lu Yichuan! If your pants are wet, just go change into a clean pair. Why are you yelling at Xiao Xiao?"

Lu Yichuan explained: "I didn't yell at her, I was just talking to her calmly and rationally."

Old Madam Lu said, "Your tone was so harsh just now, isn't that considered yelling? You are so capable now, and you dare to talk back at me! Lu Yichuan, are you even capable of killing me?"

"Grandma, please don't understand it this way, okay? I'm just talking to you about this issue calmly. Please don't make things contradictory, okay?" Lu Yichuang frowned, looking extremely speechless.

Old Madam Lu sneered: "Really? Do you mean I am exaggerating this matter?"

Lu Yichuan sighed softly and lowered his head: "That's not what I meant."

"..."

Although the female teacher had only been in City A for a short time, she had heard the teachers at school talk about everything about the Lu family. She knew that the elders of the Lu family were particularly difficult to deal with, and that Lu Yichuan lived in a family with deep troubles.

There is no need to let the two generations of grandparents quarrel over my own affairs now.

If something went wrong during the conversation, Old Lady Lu would hate her even more and killing her would be as easy as pinching an ant.

The female teacher was a little scared.

She said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu. This is all because of me. It's just a pair of pants. It's okay. I can just change into another pair later."

After the female teacher said this, Mrs. Lu didn't even look at her. She stared at Lu Yichuan coldly.

"..."

The female teacher touched her ear awkwardly, then lowered her eyes to look at Xiaoxiao, then walked around the group of people towards the door.

Xiao Xiao watched the female teacher walk away and was about to chase her when Old Lady Lu grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Xiao Xiao, where are you going?"

"You were a little rude just now, grandma. I'll go and apologize to the teacher on your behalf." Xiaoxiao said, blinking her round eyes gently and speaking in a soft and gentle tone.

Lu Yichuan looked at Xiaoxiao with a strange look.

Where the two old people couldn't see, he gave Xiaoxiao a thumbs up for her courage and strategy.

If Xiaoxiao's tone had been a little stronger and her eyes had been a little more vicious, Mrs. Lu would have definitely been angry when she heard what she said.

But the key lies in Xiaoxiao's attitude and tone, which were very gentle, which couldn't help but soften Mrs. Lu's heart.

Mr. Lu also nodded with satisfaction.

Old Mrs. Lu scratched her little nose lightly, sneered and said, "Little clever ghost."

Then, her eyes turned to Lu Yichuan again.

After seeing Lu Yichuang, Mrs. Lu's expression suddenly changed.

She said, "Go chase the female teacher, find someone to change into clean clothes, and then call her over so we can have a meal together."

……

The female teacher left the hotel and went to the nearest bus stop.

The weather is a bit bad today. It is gray and there is an occasional gust of wind.

The female teacher lowered her eyes and looked at the wet area on her thigh that was tightly pressed against her skin, and sighed softly.

As for clothes, just go home and wash them. But the attitude of Mrs. Lu just now still makes the female teacher angry when she thinks about it now.

If she hadn't been afraid that Old Lady Lu would wipe out her entire clan, she would have retorted and scolded this rude old lady.

The key lies in the huge difference in status and identity.

The female teacher sighed deeply again.

She pulled her phone out of her bag and checked the time the bus would arrive.

He was going to take bus No. 45, which was three stops away from his current bus stop and took 6 minutes.

Just as she was hesitating about what to do in the next six minutes, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in her sight.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Lu Yichuan's handsome face.

Lu Yichuan said: "Hello."

The female teacher smiled but said nothing.

Lu Yichuan added: "I don't even know what the female teacher's name is yet."

The female teacher said: "Chen Jing."

Lu Yichuan said: "Dong Chen?"

The female teacher nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yichuan stretched out his right hand towards the female teacher: "I haven't formally greeted Teacher Chen yet. My name is Lu Yichuan."

The female teacher shook her hand back, "Chen Jing."

Lu Yichuan said, "I'm sorry about what happened to the old lady just now. She's not like this usually. Maybe it's because I pissed her off just now, so the old lady took it out on you. Don't mind it. Well, it was the old lady who asked me to come over and apologize to you, and to have dinner with us to show her apology."

The female teacher had a calm expression on her face.

But I felt strangely proud in my heart.

Just now she looked down on me, but now she is softly asking me to go to dinner. Is she a magician? Her expression changes every now and then.

Besides, I can’t afford a meal invited by someone like her!

Seeing that the female teacher didn't reply, Lu Yichuan continued to ask: "Teacher Chen, is it inconvenient?"

The female teacher said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I don't want to go."

Lu Yichuan was amused.

This person has a very strong character.

Really like.

The female teacher continued, "If I don't go over to eat, the old lady will definitely think that I am too busy and too arrogant. If I go over to eat, there will inevitably be some sarcasm. Then I won't go to eat. It's better to curse someone behind their back than to hear bad things said in person."

After saying that, the female teacher lowered her eyes and looked at her phone again.

The No. 45 bus will arrive at the station in one minute.

Lu Yichuan also saw the female teacher's next schedule through the brightly lit screen.

He said, "Then I won't go. It just so happens that I don't want to go. It's really depressing to be together. We have nothing in common to talk about."

"Huh?" The female teacher showed a surprised look on her face: "Mr. Lu shouldn't say this to me, right???"

Bus No. 45 has arrived.

Seeing that Lu Yichuan had no intention of explaining and the female teacher wasn't waiting, she got on the bus.

The female teacher swiped her bus card and sat in the last row.

only……

How did he get in the car?

Lu Yichuang was wearing branded clothes and was tall and handsome, which attracted many eyes on the bus.
