"..."
Chen Yan's brain was severely deprived of oxygen, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and her whole body was trembling.
She couldn't see any sign of joking in Lu Zheng's stern eyes.
There was no love at all between Lu Chao and her. At most, it was a matter of debt and pity. They were used to having someone like her to serve them.
Don't be jealous, don't interfere in his private life, and occasionally help him deal with those troublesome women outside.
On weekdays, when she and Lu Zheng had conflicts, Lu Chao would symbolically protect her face.
But if she was really strangled to death by Lu Zheng, Lu Chao would definitely cover it up. The interests of the Lu family would always come first in his eyes.
A small figure suddenly flashed in at the door of the storage room, looking up at the scene in front of him, seemingly frightened.
Lu Zheng didn't really want to strangle Chen Yan to death. When he saw the child coming in, he immediately let go: "Why are you here?"
"I'm coming to find you..."
Yuanyuan looked at the corridor, quickly closed the door of the storage room, stood on tiptoes to reach the door handle, and locked the door from the inside.
"Dad, no one saw it."
"..."
Chen Yan was lying on the ground panting heavily. She was really frightened and her whole body was limp.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was almost the same length as Lu Zheng, a cold feeling rose in his heart.
Both father and daughter are demons. How could a normal child's first reaction when encountering such a thing be to lock the door?
"Do you know what I'm doing?"
Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the child. She seemed to learn bad things very quickly, and he couldn't help but worry that his behavior just now would be copied by her.
"I know, Dad is doing bad things."
Yuanyuan is different from children of the same age. She has been very good at reading adults' faces since she was a child.
In her previous life, when her parents were angry, she would speak less and appear less often in front of them to avoid being used as a punching bag.
She didn't understand why her father pinched this aunt, but she pulled her into a corner just so she didn't want anyone to see her.
"Then you still close the door, aren't you afraid?"
Lu Zheng knelt down and looked at her with a frown. He really didn't know whether it was good or bad for the child to be like this.
"I'm not afraid, dad won't hit me."
Children’s concepts of good and evil are very shallow, and they are in the stage of trial and error about many things.
If it is stopped in time, you will understand not to do this.
If she is indulged, she will feel that there is nothing wrong in doing so, and she can do this.
Part of the reason why newborn calves are not afraid of tigers is that their concepts of good and evil have not yet been formed.
If you are not aware of the differences between people, many things are in the trial stage. You are fearless because you have no worries, and you need the guidance of your parents even more.
"save…"
After Chen Yan recovered, she immediately shouted for help. As soon as she uttered a syllable, someone tightly covered her mouth.
"Chen Yan, this is my last warning to you, don't provoke me again, otherwise it won't just be as simple as today."
Lu Zheng waited for her to calm down before letting go of his hand, stood up, stared at her coldly, and left with the child in his arms.
"..."
Chen Yan sat paralyzed in the storage room for a long time, her whole body in a state of great fear.
No matter how angry Lu Zheng was in the past, he would never fight against her.
This time, he acted like a madman. She suspected that if the child had not come in, he would definitely kill her.
Lu Zheng held the child and found a secluded place, placed her on the ground, and stared at her condescendingly.
"Yuanyuan, you have to understand what is right and what is wrong, and you cannot help others do evil. Do you understand?"
He considers himself not a good person, but the child is still young and must not develop wrong views.
"What does it mean to help others do evil?"
Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at him in confusion, her brain was a bit overloaded.
"You just know that I made a mistake, but you still make mistakes with me."
Lu Zheng explained briefly without giving her a good look.
"Dad was not wrong, it was others who were wrong."
Yuanyuan felt that her father must have a reason for doing this.
Children are unconditionally partial to those who are good to them.
"What did you say?"
Lu Zheng raised his hands to his forehead angrily. He had never understood what those star-chasing female classmates meant by Du Wei.
But now he seems to understand that this child is his Du Wei!
"Yuanyuan, even dad will make mistakes. Do you understand that you shouldn't cover up dad when he does something wrong? You should be a righteous child."
Yuanyuan looked at him, nodded and said, "I understand!"
Lu Zheng: "What do you understand?"
Yuanyuan: "I want to protect you!"
"..."
Lu Zheng almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Only now did he realize that the two emotions of anger and happiness can appear at the same time.
"You can't cover up your father, nor can you cover up people who have a good relationship with you. Wrong is wrong, and right is right. You can't ignore right and wrong just because of a good relationship. This will harm yourself."
"I don't protect others, I only protect dad."
"Thank you so damn much!"
Lu Zheng was really a little bit broken, and even curse words came out of his mouth.
Yuanyuan: "TMD!"
Lu Zheng: "No swearing!"
Yuanyuan covered her mouth: "I won't tell you!"
The child's character is a bit stubborn, very similar to when he was a child.
Lu Zheng felt that it was useless to just talk. He must not do bad things in front of the child next time, let alone say dirty words in front of her.
Because she learns so fast!
The servant came over and called the father and daughter to the living room for dinner. Mr. Lu also came downstairs and sat at the main seat waiting for them.
Three years later, Mr. Lu's hair has turned white, and his entire face has become more and more haggard.
"Azheng, come and sit down quickly."
He pointed to the two empty seats beside him, which were specially reserved for father and daughter.
"grandfather!"
Lu Zheng also smiled when he saw his eyes, and sat down beside him with his child in his arms.
"Is this the child? What's his name?"
Mr. Lu cast his eyes on the little girl in his arms. She looked very much like his grandson.
"My name is Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, this is great grandfather."
"Hello, Grandpa!"
The little guy greeted him, a little shy for the first time.
"Hello, come here and let me have a look."
Mr. Lu looked at the child's chubby little face and couldn't help but think of how Lu Zheng looked when he was a child, which was similar to what he looks like now.
Yuanyuan jumped off Lu Zheng's lap, ran to her great-grandpa, and grabbed his skinny fingers with her little hands.
"Grandpa, you are so thin, you must eat well."
Mr. Lu, who was originally thinking about how to close the relationship, looked at her with loving eyes.
"Okay, this is the meeting gift that my great-grandfather has prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Mr. Lu handed her a small square box, which contained a longevity lock inlaid with gold and jade. The style was drawn by him himself and he asked the master to open it.
"like!"
Yuanyuan took out the longevity lock from the small box and handed it to her father to put it on herself.
Mr. Lu had already heard what Lu Chao said about this child, so he didn't ask any more questions.
For him, it was satisfying to be able to hold his great-grandson in his arms before he died.
