Chapter 598: Worshiping the Old Man
p her things.I was in the middle of tidying up when the door suddenly swung open and a tall figure walked in.Fu Xiaoyao was crouched in front of her suitcase, hearing footsteps. She thought it was Aun...Hold my hand, so I won't be knocked over. 。Lu Hanchuan said 。Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, but she agreed. Then she took his arm. 。Lu Hanchuan slightly pulled his arm in, causing her to lean closer to him. So close that he could feel the softness of her chest pressing against his arm. 。On the car 。Fu Xiaoyao put down her schoolbag, bent down and kneaded her ankle. 。Lu Hanchuan was buckling his seatbelt and glanced at her, "Did you twist your ankle" "No, it's just a little uncomfortable " 。"Fu Xiaoyao straightened her body and replied with a smile." 。陸寒川應了一聲,“冇扭到就好”。 。"Don't worry, I wouldn't twist my ankle with you here. But I am curious, why did you come to pick me up yourself" 。Fu Xiaoyao encircled her arm around him. 。Lu Hankan's eyes drooped slightly, "You haven't been to the old house, I'm afraid you'll get lost" 。"Really" Fu Xiaoyao was somewhat disbelieving. 。Many people haven't been to the old house, and she's not the only one. 。"Well, that's one reason. Another, I'll tell you at the banquet later..." 。Lu Hanchuan engaged the gear and started the car. 。Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao didn't press further. She turned her head to look out the window. 。
Arrived at the Lu family's old house
After getting off the car, Fu Xiaoyao stood at the gate of the old house, a trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes. 。After six years, she returned to this place again, her mood was quite complicated. 。Let's go 。Lu Hankan handed the car keys to the guard at the gate and walked over to Fu Xiaoyao, saying something. 。Fu Xiaoyao quickly adjusted her expression and nodded. 。After entering the old house, she pretended not to have been there before, looking around. 。Upon completion, she found that everything remained the same as it had been six years ago when she left. 。The only difference is the change in her status. 。Six years ago, she was the young mistress of this place. Now, she is just an ordinary guest. 。"The banquet hasn't started yet, you can have something to eat here now, I'll go greet some guests. " 。Lu Hanchuan took Fu Xiaoyao to the banquet hall of the old house and said to her. 。Fu Xiaoyao collected her thoughts and replied, "Go ahead." 。"If there's anything, just find the banquet staff, or call me." 。"Lu Hanchuan still reminded" 。Fu Xiaoyao pushed him, "Alright, you go now, I already know..." 。"
Lü Hánchuan saw that she urged him to leave, his thin lips pursed slightly, then turned and left " 。After he left, Fu Xiaoyao's smile vanished from her face. She picked up a glass of red wine and quietly slipped away from the banquet hall, heading towards a quiet courtyard. 。When she reached the outer courtyard, the guard at the gate didn't even ask for her identity and let her in directly. It was clear that the guard had been tipped off. 。Fu Xiaoyao entered the courtyard and saw a thick layer of plush carpet spread in the middle. On the carpet, a delicate and lovely little boy was sitting, holding a large Rubik's Cube in his small hands, fiddling with it intently. 。Seeing this, Fu Xiaoyao excitedly covered her lips. 。Xiaobao is playing with the Rubik's Cube again! Since his autism got the worst, Xiaobao hasn't touched the Rubik's Cube. 。But now Xiao Bao is playing with the Rubik's Cube again, which means his autism has improved a lot. 。Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao took off her shoes and walked to Xiao Bao in a few steps. She bent down and hugged Xiao Bao into her arms, "Xiao Bao, Mommy misses you so much." 。“
Xiao Bao stopped what he was doing, blinked twice, then opened his mouth slightly and called out, “Mom...”
This call was very soft and muffled, like a child who had just learned to speak. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying. >>> 。But Fu Xiaoyao immediately recognized it, her brain buzzing with a sudden jolt. A blankness engulfed her for a long moment before she slowly came back to herself. 。She hugged Xiao Bao with trembling hands, her eyes filled with excitement and surprise. "Baby, did you just call Mommy" Xiao Bao tilted his head, but remained silent. 。Fu Xiaoyao wasn't disappointed. She hugged Xiao Bao even tighter and tears of joy streamed down her face, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, Xiao Bao, you can speak! You can call Mama..." "Yes, Xiao Bao has changed so much these past few days. He almost makes some simple sounds every day..." 。At that moment, a voice, aged yet kind, suddenly echoed. 。Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly raised her head, tears flowing even harder, "Fu Bo..." "Young mistress, it's been a long time..." 。"Uncle Fu smiled kindly at her" 。Fu Xiaoyao was biting back tears, managing a strained smile. "Long time no see, Uncle Fu. I'm sorry, it's been so long since I've been back, and I haven't visited you once." 。" It's alright, Xiao Song told me everything you went through these past six years, Madam. You suffered so much. " 。Fu Bo stepped forward and looked at her with concern. 。 That heartbroken look made Fu Xiaoyao instantly crumble, crying even louder, "Fu Bo, I want revenge on Lu Hanchuan, won't you be angry with me" Fu Bo shook his head, "That's what the young master deserves. I think even if the old master were still alive, he would definitely support his young mistress." 。"Grandpa... I'm sorry, Grandpa. For my expectations back then..." 。Fu Xiaoyao covered her face. 。Fu Bo knew what she meant and sighed with emotion, "When the old master passed away, he hoped that you, young mistress, and the young master could be together. But no one expected that those things would happen later. The fact that you are still alive, young mistress, is already a blessing. So you have nothing to feel guilty about." 。" Fu Xiaoyao sniffed, "Can I go pay my respects to Grandpa" "You can, but the cemetery is a bit far, and it's too late for you to go now. Just go to the ancestral hall." 。Uncle Fu nodded. 。Fu Xiaoyao wiped away her tears, “Okay, then trouble Fu Bo to lead the way.” 。After she finished speaking, she stood up, picked up Xiao Bao, and followed Uncle Fu. 。After paying their respects to the elder, they returned to the courtyard. Half an hour had passed and the banquet had already been going on for a while. 。Lu Hanchuan frowned and walked towards the courtyard. Seeing Fu Xiaoyao holding Xiao Bao talking to Fu Bo, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became deep. 。She's actually here! He had just finished greeting the guests and went to find her, but he looked all over the ballroom and couldn't find her. He called her, but she didn't answer either. 。He thought she had gone back, but he didn't expect her to be here. 。And she was actually hugging Xiao Bao, chatting so engrossedly with Uncle Fu that it made him suspicious. 。
Because of his autism, Xiaobao won't accept hugs from just anyone. So far, in the entire Lu family, only he, Song Yi, and Fu Bo can hug Xiaobao
... and Shi Yao could actually do it She didn't say... she had only met Xiaobao a few times, they weren't very familiar, right Also, there was Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu looked at her with such loving eyes, not a hint of alienation from outsiders, clearly recognizing her... 。Thinking about these things, Lu Hanchuan called the doubts in his heart and walked over, "What are you talking about" "Young Master is here." 。"Uncle Fu stopped speaking and looked at Lu Hanchuan. " 。Fu Xiaoyao is the same, “I told Fu Bo about Xiao Bao again” 。"Do you know Old Lu" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes and asked. 。Fu Xiaoyao's heart sank. She knew he must have seen her talking to Fu Bo just now and was suspicious of something. She smiled without changing her expression, "Now that we've been introduced, Fu Bo saw that I look like your previous wife, so he asked me to chat with him for a while." 。"Is that so" Lu Hanchuan's gaze turned to Fu Bo. 。"Yes," said Fu Bo. 。Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips, not knowing whether to believe it or not. After a while, he asked again, "You weren't in the banquet hall, how did you get here"ething to prove her right”"You..." Qi Ya widened her eyes, wanting to say something.Fu Xiaoyao stood up, pointed at her own hand and slapped it coldly, "Mrs. Lu has repeatedly provoked me, really thin...
