"Ah, it’s big brother, hold on a mont."
Lu Ping unlocked the door downstairs.
After a while, Wu Rong ca up, Lu Ping opened the door,
"Big brother, how co you dropped by today?"
Usually, Wu Rong would visit the mother and son, roughly once a month, but the gap between this visit and the previous one was shorter than usual.
"Starting the second half of the month, things will start piling up. I’m afraid I won’t be able to co next month, so I thought I’d take advantage of my free ti today to see you and Ah Yu."
Wu Rong was speaking the truth.
Wu Rong had just joined Central, and many things still weren’t settled. Once settled, things would beco busy all at once.
"You’re an official at Central now, yet you still bring so many things every ti you visit us."
"Are you outsiders? Huh?"
Wu Rong faked a stern face, tilting his head towards Lu Ping, his expression questioning.
Lu Ping awkwardly smiled, took the items Wu Rong brought and set them aside,
"Co on in, sit down. Ah Yu, co and pour tea for your uncle!"
Lu Ping shouted towards Wu Yu’s room and then sat down in the living room with Wu Rong.
Wu Rong glanced around, his gaze landing on a cup of black tea on the coffee table,
"You finally dared to drink this black tea, huh."
Lu Ping also saw the cup of black tea left on the coffee table, startled in her heart, she then laughed,
"No one visits, the tea you sent is so exquisite, not drinking it would be a waste, and this afternoon I felt a bit tired from watching TV, that’s when I thought of brewing a cup of black tea."
Wu Rong nodded,
"The things I bought for you, eat what should be eaten, drink what should be drunk, if you need anything, just call . You’re my sister-in-law, Ah Yu is my nephew."
"I see you as family, all these years since Ah Yao hasn’t been around, how much have you struggled to hold up this family alone? If even I, as the elder brother, can’t be relied on, then people would surely say our Wu Family lacks feeling."
Lu Ping clasped her hands together, her heart beca chaotic for a mont.
If Wu Rong was really like what Su Xiaong said, a person who hard his own brother for personal gain, why would he still care for them mother and son all these years?
Just to avoid people saying that the Wu Family lacks feeling?
This reason seems too flimsy...
Yet in Su Xiaong’s hands are clearly her husband’s things, that pair of ring-shaped jade pendants, one for Wu Yao and his father each, even though Wu Rong is the elder brother, the old father of the Wu Family gave this father-son heart-connecting pendant to the younger son Wu Yao.
Her husband handed the smaller pendant to Wu Yu when he left ho to carry out his mission.
Wu Yu was born never having seen Wu Yao, only the photos preserved in albums and the portrait in her room.
Outside, bits of gossip about Wu Yao once made the rebellious young Wu Yu secretly harbor a dislike for his father.
Yet ti has the power to change many things.
As he grew older, accumulated knowledge, and saw more of the world, Wu Yu began to assess matters from multiple perspectives.
One-sided statents are not to be believed, what kind of person his father was, he will investigate himself.
This is the main reason Wu Yu wants to beco a police officer.
Lu Ping feels very conflicted about her son’s thoughts, she hopes on one hand that he can stay away from the circle Wu Yao once was in, avoiding his influence too much, but on the other hand, she hopes one day he can see through the mists.
Even though Wu Yu never t Wu Yao, the blood flowing in him is still Wu Yao’s.
Father-son bond, the son’s inheritance of the father’s aspirations...
How can she interfere or change it?
Wu Yu ca out of the room, brewed tea for Wu Rong, and handed it over,
"Uncle, tea."
Wu Yu said indifferently.
Wu Rong looked up at Wu Yu, pulled him to sit beside him, affectionately placing a hand on Wu Yu’s shoulder,
"I like my nephew the most! Top-notch brain, smart and sensible!"
"Big brother, you praise him every ti you co, if you keep praising him like this, Ah Yu is bound to get conceited eventually."
Lu Ping laughed.
Wu Rong frowned, disagreeably said,
"Xiao Ping, I don’t like hearing what you’re saying, I think it’s because I’ve been lecturing him for so many years that he’s getting smarter and more sensible."
"..."
"Isn’t it so, Ah Yu?"
Wu Yu remains reticent, even in front of Wu Rong he is the sa.
His expression was indifferent, his eyes possibly showing a hint of a perfunctory smile.
Wu Rong reached out and ruffled Wu Yu’s hair,
"Ah Yu has grown up so fast, next year he will take the college entrance exam. Sotis when I lie in bed at ho, I think, if Ah Yao were still alive... he would be so happy."
