novelThe Car Has A Recording Function
| ← Ch.043 | Ch.045 → |
The car stopped at the Bi Ya Villa. An Yu finally made up her mind to apologize to Xiang Xiaoyuan before getting out of the car."Aunty, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. I even made such an unreasonable request."
After realizing that Xiang Xiaoyuan was not easy to manipulate, she addressed her more formally. This little girl was really interesting.
Xiang Xiaoyuan waved her hand to show that she did not mind.
An Yu hesitated."Aunty... can you not tell Uncle Lu about what happened today? This time, it's all my fault. I acted on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with Lu Bei."
So in the end, she did not feel that she was in the wrong. She was just afraid that she would implicate Lu Bei?
Xiang Xiaoyuan was a little unhappy, but as an elder, she could not argue with a junior. She pointed at the car."But..."
An Yu nervously waited for her reply.
"The car recorder has a recording function."
Xiang Xiaoyuan shrugged helplessly."I can promise not to say anything to Lu Wanggui, but I can't erase the recording from the car recorder."
An Yu was dumbstruck.
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt relieved and drove off in satisfaction.
Pregnant... She didn't intend to get pregnant.
But not wanting to be pregnant and promising not to be pregnant within the year were two different things. It was too displeasing to be forced to promise something.
The other person was still young and hadn't been in society yet. She, as an adult, should respect the elderly and love the young, but the premise was that young people should respect the elderly! An Yu clearly didn't put her in her eyes, so why should she care about An Yu?
She wasn't a saint.
On the way back, Xiang Xiaoyuan deliberately slowed down her car, but no matter how slow she was, she would eventually arrive at the Spring Banquet Bar. To Xiang Xiaoyuan's surprise, the moment she stopped the car, she saw Lu Bei standing at the entrance of the bar, looking down at the puddle on the ground in a daze.
From the looks of it, he must have sobered up. His wet hair stuck to his forehead, coupled with his dazed expression, it really made people feel sorry for him. Xiang Xiaoyuan's gaze circled his body, trying to find traces of him being taught a violent lesson.
He leaned against the wall and lowered his head. When he saw Xiang Xiaoyuan coming over, he only took one glance and continued to stare at the puddle on the ground in a daze.
Xiang Xiaoyuan's urge to ask a question was stopped by his cold expression. Her presence was non-existent to him, like a stranger. He did not want to talk to her, so she did not need to waste any effort to talk to him. She went straight into the bar to look for Lu Wanggui.
In An Yu's eyes, Lu Wanggui was an irresponsible father who only gave birth to his children and did not raise them. However, Xiang Xiaoyuan had her own opinion. She felt that Lu Wanggui was not that kind of person.
When Lu Bei was set up to fight at the school gate, Lu Wanggui did not forget to ask his people to settle it even when he was overseas on a business trip. He also used roundabout means to let Lu Bei know the truth and understand the evils of society.
This was the action of a father.
Xiang Xiaoyuan didn't know what other parents were like, but as far as she knew... every parent would do what Lu Wanggui did.
An Yu didn't understand Lu Wanggui because they were different from each other. Just like how adults always saw things differently from children, they couldn't resonate with each other.
Fortunately, Lu Wanggui didn't wander around the bar. As soon as Xiang Xiaoyuan entered, she saw him sitting on a chair and talking to someone on the phone. He was talking about real estate and some plans. He was probably talking about work.
After Lu Wanggui saw her, he signaled for her to wait for a while with his eyes. After a while, the call was hung up. He stood up and walked towards her with a gentle look."Did you send them back?"
"Yes, Wei Zihang said that his brother would pick him up, so I sent An Yu back."
"Thank you for your hard work today. Let's go back earlier, " Lu Wanggui said apologetically.
"It's not hard at all."
Xiang Xiaoyuan followed him to the bar entrance and asked casually, "I saw Lu Bei when I came in just now. Is he alright?"
Lu Wanggui smiled."I've already talked to him. Don't worry."
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
She wasn't worried.
Walking out of the bar, Lu Wanggui glanced at his son who was still staring at the puddle in a daze. He said calmly, "It's time to go home."
Lu Bei slowly straightened his body and followed behind them like a robot.
Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that she would drive them home, but she didn't expect Lu Wanggui to take the keys from her hand and open the driver's seat first, while Lu Bei obediently opened the backseat door and got into the car.
Xiang Xiaoyuan stood where she was and thought for three seconds, so should she sit in the passenger seat or in the backseat?
Forget it. She didn't want to play the role of a caring stepmother.
Three seconds later, she decisively opened the passenger door.
When Lu Wanggui started the car, he glanced at the plastic bag at the center console, which contained all kinds of medicine to counter the alcohol. He couldn't help but give Xiang Xiaoyuan a meaningful look.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: "..."
She knew very well that she couldn't let Lu Wanggui misunderstand her anymore. Otherwise, if this image of a caring stepmother was established too firmly, she would have a hard time in the future. Previously, he thought that she wanted to come out to look for Lu Bei. She was too embarrassed to explain clearly, which had so many consequences. This time, no matter what she said, she would not be misunderstood again.
