Before that summer vacation was over, he packed up and left, feeling uncomfortable staying in other people's homes.
Lu Chao is a smart businessman, but he is not a good husband, let alone a good father.
Strictly speaking, he is an irresponsible person.
In the past, Chen Yan always pretended to be gentle in front of Lu Zheng, but after having Lu Chengxing, her true colors were revealed.
She is a very sober woman. What she wants is not Lu Chao's love, but the Lu family's property. If she has a child, she will have the capital to serve.
The young Lu Zheng was no match for Chen Yan. She would always use the most unpleasant words to anger Lu Zheng in private, and then betray her in front of Lu Chao.
Or force him to make a fool of himself, deliberately design to trap him, and sow discord between father and son.
Chen Yan's plan was successful. Lu Chao was too self-centered and only believed in what he saw. Lu Zheng was wronged and not understood, and became increasingly disappointed with him.
Seeing their family of three enjoying themselves, he felt like an outsider.
Other children grew up under the pampering of their parents, but for a long time, he had been hoping that his parents would give him a little bit of the love they gave to his younger siblings. Just a little would be enough.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Gradually, he no longer expected it, and numbing himself, these things were not important.
But the disappointment did not disappear, but was buried deep in his heart, an existence that made him feel pain when he thought about it.
In the little girl in front of him, he captured the self that lacked love when he was young, and had a brief resonance with her.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang and the takeout was delivered.
Lu Zheng opened the door to pick up the food and placed it on the coffee table.
The steaming vegetable porridge is fragrant, as well as the crystal clear shrimp dumplings and cartoon-shaped custard buns.
"Have a meal…"
He handed the spoon to the little guy beside him, picked up his own portion and started eating.
"Thanks…"
The little guy was not tall. He stood by the coffee table and scooped up the porridge with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
Lu Zheng ate very quickly. After wiping the side of his mouth, the little guy ate less than a third of the food.
Looking at her dirty clothes, Lu Zheng picked up the phone that was thrown aside.
His fingers lingered on Lu Chao's phone number for a moment, and finally he swiped it away and dialed his friend's number.
No matter what the reason was, he was unwilling to bow to Lu Chao.
"Why did you call me suddenly? Has the matter been resolved?"
Li Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone, as well as the noise from the bar.
The "thing" he was talking about was the fight between Lu Zheng and a rich second generation in the circle two days ago.
It was the man who provoked him first and cursed so hard that Lu Zheng clashed with him. The two of them made a big fuss that alerted the police.
Both sides were at fault, but the one was more seriously injured. Thanks to Li Yan's mediation, the matter calmed down.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but somehow it reached Lu Chao's ears, and Lu Zheng's source of income was cut off.
"No, please transfer some money to me first. I need it urgently."
Lu Zheng's attention was focused on the child. These clothes were too dirty, so she had to at least wear them cleanly.
"How much?"
Li Yan sighed. This kind of trivial matter that only requires an explanation is like a big deal between the Lu family and his son, causing a huge fuss.
One is unwilling to explain, and the other may not believe the other's explanation.
Lu Zheng told the amount and promised: "I will pay you back in two days."
"Do we need to be polite between brothers? Take it first..." Li Yan chatted with him for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
This little guy was almost finished eating and started packing the takeaway lunch boxes.
"Wipe your mouth and I'll take you out for a walk later."
Lu Zheng took out two tissues for her and cleared the coffee table in a few moments.
In just half a day, the little guy saw so many things that he had never seen before, and the tissue in his hand was fragrant and soft.
Although her father looks fierce, he is very kind to her and will give her delicious food.
"Let's go!" Lu Zheng changed his shoes and stood at the door with the garbage in hand to greet her.
"I'll get it for you!"
The little guy got a lot bolder and reached out to pick up the garbage bag in his hand.
"Look at the road under your feet. You don't need to get it."
Lu Zheng saw the corners of her lips curl up. It was quite surprising that she knew how to repay kindness at such a young age.
This area is a prosperous area, and a large group of people and a small group walked slowly towards the shopping mall, just to eat after a meal.
The little guy looked around curiously at first, but became cautious when he got to densely populated areas.
Children over two years old have no sense of comparison, but when they see the glamorous people around them and compare them with their own dirty clothes, they can't help but lower their heads quietly.
"..."
Lu Zheng had been keenly aware of everything around him since he was a child, and he could more or less guess what she was thinking. He squatted down and picked her up unskilledly. The little girl struggled for a while and then lay on his shoulders obediently.
He had never held a child before, and his movements looked strange. The little guy also felt uncomfortable and quietly twisted twice.
Lu Zheng is quite good at dressing up. He is a very fashionable and cool guy.
I pointed out some clothes and asked the shopping guide to get the right size for the little one to wear. The light-colored outfit suited her very well.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Dirty Bag puts on beautiful clothes and transforms into a cute little princess.
"I want all of these, so just wear this one."
Lu Zheng glanced at her previous clothes, then took them out and threw them away.
The shopping guide took him to pay and said casually: "Your sister looks so much like you!"
After paying the money, the little guy was still standing in front of the mirror. Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at her. She was indeed very similar to him, as if she was carved out of the same mold.
Then I took my child to buy pajamas and shoes. He didn’t know which fabrics were skin-friendly and which ones were breathable. Generally, he just bought whatever the shopping guide said was good.
I went out empty-handed and came back with a lot of shopping bags.
The little guy took a fancy to a pair of sandals that would squeak and light up when he stepped on them. Lu Zheng thought the shoes were boring, but seeing the longing in her eyes, he wanted to fulfill her in a small way.
Now the little guy is wearing these shoes, and they make a squeaking sound all the way. The noise is so loud that it hurts the ears.
When he got home, Lu Zheng immediately took out the slippers and asked her to put them on, and her ears instantly became much quieter.
In such a large house, only the master bedroom can be occupied, and the remaining two rooms have been vacant for a long time. Although they are cleaned frequently, nothing has been added and they cannot be occupied for a while.
Lu Zheng planned to let her squeeze in with him first, but soon he faced the first problem of raising a baby.
The little guy from that backward era is very unfamiliar with modern technology and needs to be taught by others.
After she finished using the bathroom, Lu Zheng came in and taught her how to flush.
"Can you take a shower by yourself?"
Lu Zheng put hot water in the bathtub and tested it, and the temperature was just right.
"Yes..." the little guy protracted his voice, showing a sense of unconfidence.
"..."
This was the first time Lu Zheng met such a person who was out of touch with the times, and he was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
