“Yes, let’s go.” Lu Yi sat up and reached his hands out to Xiao Guang. Xiao Guang stretched his small arms toward Lu Yi to let his father carry him.
Lu Yi directly carried Xiao Guang and let him sit on his lap.
“Mom, I dropped the lawsuit.”
Lu Yi touched Xiao Guang’s small head and said in a calm voice.
“Alas…” Ye Shuyun sighed and said, “Mom just knew that the woman, Sun Yuhan really is a scourge.”
Lu Yi conceded this point. He did not think that he would succeed in his lawsuit against Sun Yuhan from the beginning. But it was to teach her a lesson and also to let his grandfather have a good think about what he did exactly.
No one could rely on power and resort to underhanded means to deceive the masses forever. Old Master Lu could not do it but Ye Jianguo would. He could help Sun Yuhan once or twice, but for ten or twenty times, in the end, it would either be a falling out between father and son or the grandson would be unwilling to go back.
Then when the time came, all kinds of problems would arise in the whole Ye family which would be followed by the family falling apart. The family could even be ruined and destitute. And such a result was the last thing that Lu Yi wanted to see.
He picked up Xiao Guang and let him stand beside his lap.
Xiaoguang was the most talkative among the three children in the past, and also the liveliest. But now he was really scared. He was now like Xunxun, both of them did not like to talk, and would easily wake up in fright. Ye Shuyun was always prepared to take him to bed with her so as to avoid having him wake up at night and be frightened when he did not see a grownup.
“Our Xiao Guang is a brave child. You’re not afraid, right?”
Lu Yi crouched down, and then leveled his gaze to meet his son’s eyes. The corners of his lips gently lifted. Although he was not an affectionate father and his face was also not very expressive, his three children loved him very much. Of course, they also obeyed his words.
“Xiao Guang is a good boy, you’re not afraid.” Xiao Guang bobbed his small head, and then rubbed his own small head against his father’s chest with a look of adoration and admiration.
“Xiao Guang, tell Dad, who saved you?”
Lu Yi picked up his son and made him stand up.
Xiao Guang crooked his small head, and then his eyes also lit up.
“It’s Mama. It’s Mama who carried Xiao Guang.”
“This child is confused again.” Ye Shuyun rubbed her grandson’s hair and said, “What Mama? You’re talking about your grandma.”
“It’s Mama.” Xiaoguang insisted in this way for the first time, “It’s Mama, not grandma.”
“All right, it’s Mama, it’s Mama.” Ye Shuyun also went along with what her grandson said so as to avoid agitating her grandson. Once he tore his lungs to cry, he would not be the only person to cry. He would wake up Xiao Qi and Little Xunxun. The three children would cry together. From the looks of it, she would also accompany her grandson and cry along together as the grandmother.
Lu Yi handed Xiao Guang over to Ye Shuyun. Then Ye Shuyun carried Xiao Guang back to her own room to sleep together with Xiao Guang. As for the other two, there were two nannies, which would be fine. As long as Xiao Guang did not cry, the other two children would be well-behaved.
Lu Yi tucked Lu Qi and Xunxun inside the blankets and then went out of the room. He took out his notebook and sat in the living room. He began to check the information. As for Sun Yuhan’s side, he did not even submit the information, so he did not need to apply for a withdrawal of the case. Whether a case could be successful, he at least knew to a certain extent from the moment he took the case from the beginning.
And from the moment he started the upload of the information, he knew that Sun Yuhan’s case would eventually be dropped because of the Ye family. As a result, at the last step, he did not hand over the information to the procuratorate. And the compromise reached this time was for Ye Shuyun, but also for the sake of Ye Chuji. Otherwise, if the Ye family was scattered and smashed, then it would be connected to Ye Shuyun in the end.
He could care less about the life and death of other people, but he must look after Ye Shuyun.
There was also another matter. He stopped his fingers that were tapping on the keyboard, and then unconsciously caressed the ring on his knuckle, which was his wedding ring with Yan Huan. He had sold it off during the time of the flood and then bought it back later. It had always been with him since.
And what he now wanted to know was the mother that his three children spoke of, the woman who had wrapped herself up so that her face could not be seen clearly, who was it?
Is it Yan Huan?
His first thought was so, but he shook his head in the end and denied it. It could not be her. If it was Yan Huan, then why would she not come home when she was clearly around and not come back to find him and to acknowledge them?
She knew exactly how he was living.
Such a separation by life and death, she herself had already experienced it once. How could she bear to let him experience it once again?
So, it was not good and that was not her.
Sun Yuhan’s matter could be considered resolved. But the relationship between the Lu family and the Ye family had begun to be in a deadlock. Ye Shuyun was already unwilling to go to the Ye family. It was Ye Xinyu who directly packed his own bags and came to play with the three children.
Ye Shuyun would not bear any ill feelings toward Ye Xinyu, who could be considered a child that she had brought up and also her other son. No matter how her relationship was with the Ye family, how bad her quarrel was with Ye Jianguo, Ye Xinyu would still be dear to her.
Ye Xinyu especially liked the three children. He would tumble and roll together with the three children every day. He was a big kid and the three were young children. The four of them would often be seen rolling around on the carpet at home.
“How can you still behave like a child at your age?” Ye Shuyun really could not do anything about Ye Xinyu. He was extremely naughty when he was a child. Now, he was still the same. Even if he had grown a moustache, he was still of the same character.
“No matter how old I am, I am still a child.” Ye Xinyu did not want to grow up. There was nothing great about growing up, with worrisome matters everywhere. Moreover, it was good that he maintained a childlike heart. At least, the three precious kids liked him.
He stuffed his mouth with rice and sat on the opposite facing the children sitting in a row eating their food. They each wore a small apron with a small bowl in front of each person. They also each had a very smooth wooden spoon which they used to eat. Whether or not they could bring the food to their mouths on their own, they all ate by themselves. The three children clumsily held the small spoons but they were able to stuff the food into their own small mouths. The Lu family’s children matured early. Even Xunxun, who was so doted on, also had to learn to eat on her own and not develop a habit of just opening her mouth when the food came and raising her hands to be dressed by others. Even more so, they could not be raised to become hedonistic children of rich parents later.
“Oh, that’s right.” Ye Xinyu put another spoonful of rice into his mouth.
“Lu Qin has gone missing. That woman is so anxious that she’s putting pressure in front of my father every day. Who does she really think she is?”
“What woman? She is your elder cousin.” Ye Shuyun reminded Ye Xinyu and said, “It’s best that you children don’t meddle in matters of the grownups.”
“Big Aunt, I’m already a twenty-something year old man. My elder cousin here is currently a prosecutor.”
