Ye Shuyun quickly carried her granddaughter in her arms as she heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared out of wit. She thought Old Master Lu was going to head to the Ye residence and fight with the other old man.
She hurriedly brought Xunxun back to her bedroom. She had decided that it would be better to let Xunxun live with Lu Yi and Yan Huan until she had fully recovered. Something bad might happen to her if she continued to live here.
Now that Old Master Lu had met his granddaughter, he would not be asking for her for the next fortnight. He was only worried about Xunxun when they did not allow him to visit his granddaughter.
He was relieved now that he had seen Xunxun. It was time for her to head home. He did not forget to take one of Lu Jin’s antiques home. Lu Jin stared at his father as the old man arrogantly took away one of his paintings. Lu Jin was extremely upset.
That’s Wu Daozi’s work. Wu Daozi! How did he find out where I keep this painting? I’ve kept it in my safe! Lu Jin kept his antiques cautiously, yet he made a terrible mistake.
He forgot that the most dangerous place was sometimes the safest place. If he had placed the painting at a random place, Old Master Lu might not have noticed it. It was a mistake to keep the painting in the safe. It was no surprise for Old Master Lu to check his safe and take away the painting from Wu Daozi.
Lu Jin entered the room with a sorrowful face.
“Shuyun, dad took Wu Daozi’s painting home.”
“Just let him be. What can you do with a paper like that, other than leaving it in the safe to collect dust? A piece of tissue is more useful as it can be used to wipe Xunxun’s face.”
Lu Jin rolled his eyes, looking extremely upset. He felt like he had casted his pearls before swine. It was from Wu Daozi! This painting was his best and most expensive collection! It was also his favorite! However, the old man took it away without saying a word. He was hurt so badly.
He walked over to see his beautiful granddaughter. Then, he was reminded that his old man would eventually leave all his possessions to his granddaughter. He would get back his Wu Daozi painting after all. Finally, he felt at ease.
He would be living much longer than his old man anyway. Little did he know that his old man had a long life. Even at the age of 103, he was still alive and kicking, not appearing as if he would be kicking the bucket anytime soon.
Of course, it would be the same case for Lu Jin too. He would have to wait for a long time to ever lay his hands on his Wu Daozi’s painting again.
By all means, Old Master Lu would not die easily. At first, he was tired of his life as he was old and was content his whole life. That was when Xunxun came into the picture! She was the first girl born in the Lu Family. If not him, who else could protect his great granddaughter? None of them were reliable. If ever some wolf came and snatched my great granddaughter away, what will they do? Sit and cry? That is not going to help!
Lu Jin slowed down before he carefully parted Xunxun’s bangs, and saw a wound which had yet to completely heal. He was distressed and worried at the same time. “Will it leave a scar?”
He was afraid that Xunxun might get a scar on her forehead. Xunxun was such a beautiful girl. What would happen if there was a scar left on her forehead?
“Yibin said it will not.” Ye Shuyun tucked Xunxun’s tiny hands into the blanket. The kid was in slumber. As long as they did not speak loudly, it would not wake her up.
“Sigh…” Lu Jin let out a deep sigh. “Don’t visit the Ye family for now. With your dad’s character, he might do something that will upset you again.”
Sometimes when one becomes radical, he or she will turn extremely terrifying and preposterously horrid.
“I know.” Ye Shuyun had never thought of visiting them either, even though she did still yearn for a change in Ye Jianguo. Maybe he had learned his mistakes and is waiting for a chance to say sorry? Besides, a man this old might be ashamed of admitting his faults to the young ones.
However, this was her bottom line. If a similar incident was to happen again, she would definitely cut ties with the Ye family.
“I’ll go have a look at Xiao Qi and Xiao Guang.” Lu Jin was prepared to accompany his grandsons. It was almost time for his retirement. When he retired, he would help Ye Shuyun out with the kids, so she would not feel burdened looking over three grandchildren.
Others might feel helpless even when they were looking after one child. However, in their case, it was very easy to babysit the obedient triplets.
When he marched out of the room, he saw both Lu Qi and Lu Guang were almost done building their aeroplane models. They would even exchange and share their toys from time to time.
Lu Jin approached them and sat in between his grandsons. He seemed to be interested in their game.
“Here. Let grandpa play with you.” Back when he was their age, he was an expert in these models. Meanwhile, Lu Yi did not like these models as much. In fact, he never liked to play with toys. He was dumb when he was younger. Yet, these two grandsons were just like their grandfather. They were undoubtedly Lu Jin’s grandsons, Lu family’s descendants.
Yan Huan bit on an apple. She supported her head with her hands. She thought that she could film a movie, but now that things happened and the production of the film had been put on halt, she had nothing to do anymore. She was tasked to stay at home and look after the kids, be the mother she should be for them. As for the child boutique, she had come up with a draft. Nonetheless, it was easier said than done. In order to establish the boutique, they still needed more time. At the very least, they still had to hire a designer.
She was really free right now, especially when the kids had all been taken away by Ye Shuyun. The Lu family’s mansion was huge and the kids loved it there. It was also merrier there as well considering the fact that a lot of people lived there. Moreover, Ye Shuyun could not live without seeing her grandchildren. She wanted to look after them on her own. If the kids were not with her, she might even suffer from insomnia.
During the year that Yan Huan had let slip, not only did she miss her kids’ growth, she had also missed a year of bonding time with them. That was the reason why they were not as attached to her as they were to their grandparents. She felt guilty as she was still very important to the kids. They were the children who she gave birth to.
“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yi approached her and sat before her. What’s on her mind?
“Nah.” Yan Huan gave him a smile and held the apple by her lips.. “I just thought this apple was really sweet.”
