under the spotlight

Chapter 16
The phone call was coming to an end. Hearing this, Lu Beicen was really surprised. Even Mr. Du knew about it. Hehe, this is really paying attention without any trace, but no matter what, she has a kind of old fox being caught by the hunter. The feeling of being shot, my father didn't seem to say anything, but in fact he said everything, and even blocked Li Jiantao to death, and secretly satirized him...

When Lu Xusheng hung up the phone, Jiang Yunjin suddenly laughed, and even Lu Beicen laughed in embarrassment.

Jiang Yunjin handed the cup of slightly cold tea to Lu Xusheng, and Lu Xusheng drank half of the cup in one gulp before saying seriously: "Xiaobei, people like Li Jiantao are too scheming and not suitable for you. Yes As far as your mother and I are concerned, your work is a small matter, but your life is a big matter..."

Lu Beicen suddenly felt very speechless, how could it take his whole life to take back his foot without stepping out: "Dad, I know, there is really nothing to do with him, just eat together How many times have I had dinner, how busy I have been this year, how can I have free time..."

When Lu Xusheng and Jiang Yunjin saw the expression on their daughter's face, they probably had an idea in their hearts. Jiang Yunjin finally let go of what he was most worried about, and said softly: "That's good, you can just ignore what the people in the unit want to say." Listen, the clearer clears itself, after a while, it will be all right."

Lu Beicen naturally understood what his mother said. Since Director Wu knew about it, there must be many people who gossip behind their backs and watch jokes. Lu Beicen nodded silently.

Jiang Yunjin persuaded again: "One's life is very long, such things are nothing, it's over when it's over, if you're not happy, go home and talk to your parents, you really don't want to tell us, and Fang Nan It’s okay to talk about it, that child is very nice, and you two are also caring.”

Lu Xusheng nodded and smiled, "In half a month, your younger brother will be back. If there's anything wrong, you can talk to each other, just don't hold it in your heart."

When Lu Beicen heard his father mention Lu Beihao, he also laughed: "Okay, then I won't go back this weekend, I will pick up Ah Hao next weekend, and make him some delicious food at home. Call me to order..."

Jiang Yunjin laughed and said: "This child really has a Chinese stomach, and complains every time, saying that the food outside is not to my liking, and it is not as good as my sister's cooking."

Lu Xusheng smiled and said, "You sister, don't spoil him all the time, you are not his cook."

When the family talked about Lu Beihao, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. It was rare for the three of them to sit together and talk like this. Jiang Yunjin didn't mention any other unpleasant things. After chatting for a while, Jiang Yunjin said: "Okay, then we Let's go first, your dad will be on a business trip early tomorrow morning, if you have anything to do, call us, don't worry about everything, after suffering such a big loss, you still..."

Lu Xusheng shook his wife's hand with his hand, signaling her not to mention this matter again, but said very solemnly: "Xiaobei, our Lu family is not so easy to be bullied..."

Lu Beicen vaguely heard the implication in his father's words, and quickly shook his head and said, "Father, let's just let this matter go. I will be more cautious in the future, and I don't want to cause any trouble again."

Lu Xusheng stood up and said, "Don't worry, Dad knows it well, then your mother and I will leave first, and remember to lock the door when we go to bed at night."

Jiang Yunjin also stood up, hesitated before saying: "You have just changed your job, your salary is not high, you have to pay the mortgage and utilities, the car needs gas, and you have to live, why don't you just listen to your mother?" If you want to pay back the loan for this house, at worst, Mom will take a step back, and Mom won’t force you to pay back the 20 that your adoptive mother gave you.”

Lu Xusheng looked at the stubborn daughter who was silent, and then at the pleading wife, sighed softly, took Jiang Yunjin's hand and said, "Let her go, we're going back, Let the children rest early."

After sending her parents away, Lu Beicen leaned against the door and stared blankly for a long time. She also saw the pleading in her mother's eyes and heard the helplessness in her father's tone. Growing up in the endless darkness, clinging to each other with my adoptive mother, how can I forget?
From Lu Beicen's point of view, if her adoptive mother was not alone in Zhongjiang, she would most likely not come back to work. She also knows that this is the four words written in the book. It can't be blamed on Lu Xusheng, nor can it be blamed. Jiang Yunjin couldn't even blame her biological grandmother who sent her away without telling Jiang Yunjin, but it was really hard for her to let go.

The phone on the coffee table rang. Lu Beicen collected his emotions, took his cell phone, and answered the call: "Xiao Nan, are you still asleep?"

"Your parents are gone? Do you want me to come and accompany you?" Fang Nan asked.

"Okay, are you going to work tomorrow?"

"Going to work, I'll bring the clothes I'm going to wear tomorrow, you wait for me."

At ten o'clock in the evening, the traffic in the city has become sparse, only the neon lights emit colorful lights.

Lu Xusheng drove the car, looked at his wife who had been silent all this time, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry about it all the time, the child was already 15 years old when he came back to us. Going to college outside, it will take another seven years, and we should be very relieved if we are willing to return to Zhongjiang to work obediently."

"It's not because of you and me that she came back, you..."

"You can't say that, no matter what the reason is, as long as the result is good, you say it yourself, we can't control the child's heart, we can only try our best to treat her well, we can't say atonement, it can be regarded as trying our best to make up for it."

"The key is that she doesn't want it. She doesn't want anything. You've seen it all. It seems that our parents' money is too hot to spend, but it's her adoptive mother's money. She dares to take it. She is so pitiful."

"You see, you can't say good things like this. You obviously feel that she is lonely, and Xiaobei shouldn't take her money, but have you ever thought about Xiaobei and her adoptive mother?"

"I've thought about it, and I also know that not only should I not blame her adoptive mother, but I should also thank her, but my heart is so sour."

"You're just too anxious. Xiao Beiren are all back. The days to come are still long. We must first let her have a sense of attachment to her family, knowing that she has reliable parents and a caring brother. Slowly, Only by subtlety can she truly return to our home."

"As for her adoptive mother, not only should you not be jealous, but you should also encourage her to visit her adoptive mother frequently. She has raised her for 15 years, and how many beatings she has withstood from her adoptive father. Even her biological mother is nothing more than that."
