Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 29 Separation

Aunt Xue came to tell Shen Jiaojiao that her husband was busy with social engagements, so she followed her instructions and had dinner first. Then she followed the three oral teachers and studied continuously until after 3:.

Aunt Li came up and said her husband was back and asked her if she wanted to go downstairs for a midnight snack.

Shen Jiaojiao went downstairs excitedly, "Uncle, have you been drinking? But the smell is not too strong."

Butler Zhao watched silently. In fact, over the years, every time the master went out for social events and came back drunk, he would usually sit alone on the rattan chair in the flower garden, leaning crookedly, slowly sobering up.

I will only go into the house when the smell fades.

It was the same this time. Lu Shize woke up for more than half an hour and could hardly smell anything, so he went in, went back to his room to wash up, and then asked someone to call Shen Jiaojiao down to have a midnight snack together.

The man looked up at her, frowning slightly, "What's wrong? Why are your eyes a little swollen?"

Shen Jiaojiao quickly lowered her head, and all the grievances she felt when she learned that her uncle was moving away came to her mind again.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy at the horse ranch today?"

"Oh no, I met that Gu Sheng, and then we said hello."

"Gu Sheng?"

"Well, okay, uncle, let's not talk about them anymore. How about you? Did your work go well today?"

"Ok".

"Hey, that's good."

After the two of them had supper, Shen Jiaojiao handed in the homework she had rushed to do today to Lu Shize's study. The man corrected her questions with a red pen. She waited for a moment, then glanced at the bookshelf and realized... She had come in last night and didn't look carefully. Many books were obviously no longer there.

Shen Jiaojiao asked in a muffled voice, "Uncle...are you moving away?"

You're moving out without even telling me, huh!

The man didn't want to make moving out any more solemn, like a farewell, he just wanted to leave without a care in the world. Today, he finally signed the contract with Shengxia Media, and his current busy schedule finally came to an end. Ben also planned to briefly tell the little one tomorrow that he was moving to the riverside apartment.

"Jiaojiao, please sit down, I have something to tell you."

Shen Jiaojiao sat on the chair and slid directly to his side.

Looking at the innocent person, the man put down the notebook and red pen, "Jiaojiao... this place will belong to you from now on. You will be freer, and grandma and I will definitely come to see you, and we will definitely not let you..."

As expected, he spoke in an elder's tone. Shen Jiaojiao pouted, "Are you really moving?"

"Well, you've grown up now, you're a big girl, and we still live together, so..."

Shen Jiaojiao hugged the man's arm directly. It was the first time in the whole day for her to touch such a strong arm. Shen Jiaojiao greedily slid the chair closer.

"Growing up is growing up, but what's the difference from the past? I can't be a different person when I turn 20. Why do you have to move away?

...Are you afraid that I'll fall in love and bring my boyfriend back here, which will make everyone embarrassed?"

Due to the little girl's dependence, the man unconsciously wanted to get closer to her, but when he heard the word "boyfriend" from her mouth, he stopped immediately.

Shen Jiaojiao rubbed the man's shoulder without noticing.

Fang Zhi reminded her of this on the phone today, and she also thought of this, and quickly said, "Then wouldn't it be better if I didn't fall in love?"

"no".

"What does that mean? Do we have to move out?"

"We must move." The man's tone was a little harsh. Usually when he was with Shen Jiaojiao, he was usually gentle. This rare cold tone stunned Shen Jiaojiao.

Then, the man immediately withdrew his arm and pushed Shen Jiaojiao's chair back, creating some distance between them.

Men are naturally people who keep their word. Shen Jiaojiao has been with him for so many years. Although she has never seen how he holds meetings or how he disciplines employees, she can always tell this from the reactions of the people around him.

Shen Jiaojiao was angry and waited for a while, only to see that the man was still looking at her firmly, so moving out was a foregone conclusion.

Shen Jiaojiao simply stood up and said, "Okay, let's move. I'll go pack my things now and move with you!"

"Jiaojiao! This is not a joke!!!"

Shen Jiaojiao was very angry when the man grabbed her wrist. She lowered her eyes and looked back at the man. The man did not let go but continued, "... In the future, we should not be under the same roof too often."

"Then I'll ask grandma!"

"It doesn't matter which grandma I ask! They will all agree that I should move away."

Shen Jiaojiao's biological grandmother is still alive, and the household registration was transferred to the name of Lu Shize's mother. This nominal grandmother... they both would agree and even suggest that Lu Shize move out immediately.

"I mean, we have to separate!"

What's sour? Shen Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, and tears as big as beans fell first. When she realized it later, she realized that her nose was already very sore. "...Separate...?"

The man felt distressed when he saw her crying, and went to get a tissue, but he did not wipe her tears directly as he did in the past.

Yes, she has grown up...

The girl in front of me has grown up.

A man and a woman who have no blood relationship at all, living under the same roof every day, even if nothing happens, will probably be gossiped about sooner or later. Moreover, if there is anything wrong with Jiaojiao in daily life, how can he completely draw a line between him and her?

Over time, gossip becomes a powerful force.

Lu Shize always does things to prepare for a rainy day. He is unwilling to make this decision only after even a little bit of rumors spread. What he hates most is to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. He is unwilling to see the child suffer any verbal harm.

Until then, the best thing to do is to move out.

The love I give her will not be less, and the care I give her will certainly not be less. She can come to me when she is confused or in pain. When the two of us are together in a more public place, we will definitely treat each other as elders treat younger ones... But we absolutely cannot live together like this forever.

The man just stuffed the tissue into her hand. Shen Jiaojiao squeezed it gently, knowing that this time, her uncle wouldn't even wipe her tears.

Tears were still flowing, and Shen Jiaojiao frowned hard, trying to hold back, but she was a crybaby. The more she tried to restrain herself, the more uncomfortable she felt, and it was even more impossible to stop the tears. Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to turn around quickly and raise her head stupidly, as if that would make the tears go back.

My uncle said these two words "separate" very easily and I could hear them clearly.
