Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What did you say before?" Lu Bozhou asked in return.

Lu Hong and Yan Ke both had somewhat stiff expressions on their faces.

When they heard Lu Chaochi wanted something, they thought it would be good to have a nanny to take care of him.

Who knew it would turn out to be such a terrible thing?!

"We didn't know the situation at the time! If we had known she was such a terrible person, we definitely wouldn't have agreed!"

"Make her leave immediately, even if it's just to give her some money to send her off!" Lu Hong's brows furrowed, his expression filled with unwavering determination.

Lu Bozhou paused for a moment before speaking, "This matter has nothing to do with her."

"So I asked you to give her some money, didn't I? It's just a broken hand, she's not really crippled, what more do you want?" Lu Hong said dismissively.

They paid no attention to the agonizing sight of several steel nails embedded in their flesh.

A cold, stern smile curved at the corners of Lu Bozhou's handsome face.

"Even if it wasn't her this time, what about next time?"

Yan Ke chimed in, "Can she always be this lucky? I heard from the bodyguards that as soon as she left the mansion with Xiao Chi, they followed her. I think it was her father? That gambler?"

“With a gambling father, what wouldn’t she do? Get her out of here!” Lu Hong emphasized again.

Lu Bozhou seemed to have no intention of saying anything more to them.

He simply nodded slightly. "Okay."

Then he turned around, pushed open the door to the small living room, and called out, "Lu Chaochi."

"Hmm?" Lu Chaochi immediately looked over.

“Come on, I’ll take you to see her,” Lu Bozhou said.

Lu Chaochi's eyes immediately lit up!

Lu Hong and Yan Ke glared at Lu Bozhou, their dissatisfaction practically overflowing.

Lu Bozhou continued, "It's a good opportunity for you to say goodbye to her."

"Wh-what?" Lu Chaochi's smile froze on his face before it could even fade.

The emotions in Lu Hong and Yan Ke's eyes were even more complex.

Lu Bozhou's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was as calm as ever.

“Say goodbye. Your grandparents feel she didn't take good care of you and put you in danger, so they're going to let her quit. They'll give her some money and then fire her.”

Lu Chaochi turned his gaze to Lu Hong and Yan Ke.

His eyes were wide open! His eyes were brimming with tears.

Lu Hong and Yan Ke were both at a loss for what to do!

They were used to making Lu Bozhou the villain, and never expected that Lu Bozhou would directly shift the blame back to him this time.

"Why?!" Lu Chaochi's voice was thick with sobs, the last syllable trembling violently. "She saved me!! She was so good to me! Even better than my father!"

Lu Bozhou glanced down at the child.

"Uh... well." Lu Hong couldn't think of a way to explain, so he could only look at his wife.

Yan Ke smiled awkwardly and coaxed, "Baby, Xiao Chi, don't be angry. Grandpa and Grandma didn't mean it that way."

Lu Chaochi blinked his big eyes, his eyelashes glistening with tiny tears.

He sniffed and whispered, "Are you... trying to find me a new mother?"

Yan Ke was taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, she abruptly looked up and glared at Lu Bozhou. Why do you tell the child everything?!

But Lu Chaochi is a very sensitive and intelligent child.

He continued in a low voice, "I heard you talking to Dad, saying that I'm still young and need someone to take care of me. You said that Dad is still young and will have to find someone sooner or later, so it's better for him to find someone sooner so that someone can take care of me."

Lu Chaochi looked at Yan Ke and Lu Hong with his big eyes.

“But now Mianmian is taking care of me. She cooks delicious food, tells interesting stories, and takes good care of me, but you are still not satisfied with her.”

Lu Chaochi pursed his lips. "So what you all really meant by wanting someone to take care of me was a lie. You actually wanted Dad to find another wife, right?"

Lu Hong and Yan Ke were completely speechless.

Yan Ke could only grit her teeth, smile at Lu Chaochi, and say, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. Grandpa and Grandma didn't mean it that way."

After saying that, she couldn't continue making up a story.

No, they didn't mean that! That's exactly what they meant!

Yan Ke could only look at Lu Hong and give him a wink.

Lu Hong was appointed to the task in a time of crisis. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We just felt that, you see, she's injured now and can't take care of you, right?"

"So I plan to give her a large sum of money so she can rest and recover. I heard she's still a student, but she had to take a leave of absence due to financial difficulties. It would be good for her to go back to school. Don't you think so?"

Lu Chaochi heard this. Rationally, he felt his grandfather was right, but emotionally... emotionally...

"Waaah—!" Lu Chaochi burst into tears at the thought of Mianmian leaving, regardless of whether he was rational or not.

"I don't want Mianmian to leave! Waaaaah—! Waaaaah...hiccup! Can't she...waaaah...recover...recover her injuries at our house...okay?"

Lu Chaochi doesn't cry often.

From childhood to adulthood, even when I felt wronged, I would just open my big, dark eyes and silently shed tears.

It's extremely rare to see someone cry like that, sobbing uncontrollably.

If he were to cry out like that, wouldn't that be the death of Lu Hong and Yan Ke?

"Oh, my dear Xiao Chi, please stop crying, please stop crying!" Lu Hong was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do.

He could only quickly look at Yan Ke and ask her to say something.

Compared to their chaotic situation.

Lu Bozhou stood to the side, his expression indifferent.

Yan Ke gritted her teeth, glared at Lu Bozhou, and then said gently to Lu Chaochi, "My dear Xiaochi."

"How about this, Grandma asks Aunt Lu to come and take care of you. She's injured and can't take care of you anyway, what do you think?" Yan Ke asked gently.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou frowned slightly.

Lu Chaochi bit his lip. He didn't really like Aunt Lu, and his father probably didn't either.

Otherwise, I probably would have had her come to my home to take care of me long ago.

So he was a little hesitant.

But Yan Ke continued, "Think about it, she's injured now, someone has to lend a hand, right?"

Lu Chaochi softened and turned to look at Lu Bozhou, "Is it alright?"

Lu Bozhou neither confirmed nor denied this, but simply patted Lu Chaochi's shoulder and said, "Go inside and change your clothes. I'll take you to see her later."

Lu Chaochi nodded and obediently went, knowing that his father would discuss it with his grandparents.

Mianmian shouldn't be kicked out. Thinking that he would see her soon, Lu Chaochi quickly went inside to change his clothes.

After he went to the next room.

Lu Bozhou glanced indifferently at Yan Ke and Lu Hong.

Yan Ke said coldly, "I know you don't like Sister Lu, but there's no room for discussion on this. Either let Sister Lu go, teach her some manners, and keep an eye on her for any improper behavior."

"Either, let her get out. Even if Xiao Chi cries, it's useless. Can she cry forever?" [Qi Qi is asking for votes and favorites! July is over, I hope everyone has a happy August! Ah, my stuffy nose is so painful!]
