Me at two years old, a queen!
Chapter 67 The Absence of a Father and Retributive Compensation
It seems like we've gone back to the time when An'an first arrived. An'an went to work with Lu Junxing every day, and even gluttons and hungry ghosts couldn't entice her to stay at home.
After a few days, the people at the old house noticed something was wrong and called Lu Junxing, reminding him that things couldn't continue like this, especially since school was starting in a few days; they couldn't very well have Lu Junxing accompany them to school.
Lu Junxing didn't see anything wrong with it. He and his daughter now work one day and study French with a teacher the other, and they go home together in the evening.
One day, the old man called and told him to come home early for dinner because there were guests coming over and he wanted An'an to make some friends. Only then did Lu Junxing bring the child back to the old house after many days.
An'an, holding her iPad, asked, "Daddy~, who is it? Duoduo or Zhuangzhuang?"
"It shouldn't be! You've never met this kid before. You can play with him if you want, or ignore him if you don't!"
As soon as the car stopped, Lu Jing, who had finished get off work early and was waiting there, opened the door and carried An'an out: "Sweetie~, did you miss Grandpa~"
"I really, really want to!"
An'an hugged Lu Jing and gave him a big smile in return, then struggled to get down. She waited for Lu Junxing to lock the car door and come over, then took his hand and, with her other hand, pulled her grandfather along, skipping and hopping towards the door.
Seeing this, Lu Jing truly believed that the child was just clinging to him and wasn't deliberately staying at the old house. However, seeing the child like this, he glared at his son with annoyance: "How do you take care of a child?"
"Can you take care of children?"
An'an seemed oblivious to their commotion, holding their hands as they walked, she suddenly lifted her little feet and exclaimed, "Hahaha, I'm flying!"
Seeing how happy the child was, Lu Jing stopped clinging to Lu Junxing and even subtly threatened him with her eyes, cooperating with him as the grandfather to play with his granddaughter.
"Wow~ Hahaha~, take off!"
Looking at the happy troublemaker, Lu Junxing was still somewhat puzzled and confused by Lu Jing's sudden effort to please An'an. Unexpectedly, Lu Jing gave him a deep look and said...
"As a father, I'm sorry I couldn't give you any experience, but I hope that as your grandfather, I can pass on some lessons for you when you become a grandfather!"
Lu Jing watched as Lu Junxing gradually learned to be a father, and only then did he realize his own past negligence. Lu Junxing didn't know what a father was like, but he was trying his best to learn how to be one.
Seeing how hard he tries to be a good father shows that he still cares and is not satisfied with himself as a father! So he wants to make amends and doesn't want his child to be like him!
He knew his son was emotionally detached, but he let it go and blamed it on him. He didn't guide him to experience the world like normal parents would, nor did he teach him various life skills.
Watching Lu Junxing take care of An'an's daily life and provide emotional support these past few days, Lu Jing could sense that he, as a father, was absent from Lu Junxing's world. He only hoped that everything could be salvaged in time.
"There's no need. An'an is her! And I am just myself!"
No one's child is Gu Sui'an, and no one's father is Lu Junxing. Only he himself knows how to be her father.
Lu Junxing ignored the feelings of the people behind him, took the child into the entryway to take off his coat, and helped him change his shoes.
An'an came in and saw a familiar person sitting in the living room: "Uncle Zhao~, is that you?"
"Yes, it's me!"
An'an happily accepted a box of pink candies, filled with her favorite flavors. She glanced furtively at the man, and seeing that he wasn't looking at her, she quickly stuffed the candies into her bag.
"Hey~, no need to hide it! Hahaha~, these are specially made with pure fruit juice and are sugar-free, so you can eat them without worry, they won't give you cavities!"
"Hehe~, really? Uncle Zhao, you really are the kindest person I've ever met~"
An'an proudly waved the candy in her hand at the man sitting on the single sofa. Upon seeing this, the man snatched it and carefully examined the ingredients.
"Ugh~, Daddy~, you're so mean~"
"Let me taste it for you and see if he's lying to you." Lu Junxing irritably popped a piece into the troublemaker's mouth, then said to the composed Zhao Jingtang, "How come I didn't know President Zhao had become interested in the food industry?"
"Little sister, you're still too young to tell good people from bad people!"
Qin Yanzhou took the candy from An'an, circled around her, and whispered to his sister...
"Hahaha~" Zhao Jingtang and the old man both laughed when they heard this.
An'an, confused, handed another one to her brother who was sitting next to Zhao Jingtang and hadn't said a word: "Brother~, what flavor do you like?"
"Um... I like peach flavor the most, how about I give you this one?"
Seeing that her brother didn't speak, An'an awkwardly scratched her head, took out a pink candy and stuffed it into the boy's arms. Then she sat down beside him and teased the gluttonous boy and the greedy boy, changing their clothes and playing with them.
The cat and dog, pampered with food and drink these past few days, have both gained quite a bit of weight. Junmin, noticing this, reminded the two of them not to feed the cat and dog snacks.
Seeing that his nephew was still holding the candy, Zhao Jingtang hesitated before asking, "An'an~, can you play with Yu'an too?"
"My older brother doesn't like to talk; he's seven years old this year."
An'an glanced at her father, who told her to make the decision herself. She then wiped her hands on her clothes and reached out to the boy, "Brother Yu'an~, let's go?"
Seeing that the boy remained motionless as if he hadn't heard her, An'an awkwardly lowered her hand. Just when everyone thought she had given up, she grabbed the boy's clothes and walked towards Qin Yanzhou.
Zhao Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his nephew was willing to be led around. The doctor had advised him to play with other children his age more often, but Yu'an's condition made it unsuitable for him to go to school.
After much deliberation, he decided to bring his nephew to the Lu family home as a guest, relying on the friendship they had built during their time together in the courtyard during the Spring Festival. He was also taking a gamble.
"It's alright, let the kids play by themselves. The cats and dogs are very docile, and there are people watching them, so don't worry!"
The old man still admired Zhao Jingtang, who, despite being betrayed by his elder brother at a young age, single-handedly supported the Zhao family, especially since a burly man like him was willing to take care of an autistic child.
That's responsible, that's a real man! If his granddaughter hadn't gone through that ordeal so early, he would have wanted to take her in as his son-in-law.
"This is the first time in a long time that Yu'an has been willing to interact with anyone other than me!"
Looking at the quiet Yu'an, Ms. Song Yuan felt sorry for the child after taking care of her granddaughter: "It's okay, take it slow, isn't it slowly getting better now?"
"Hmm!" Zhao Jingtang noticed that the child was some distance away and couldn't hear them, so she thanked Lu Junxing for his reminder that day: "We did find some things!"
Let's talk over here!
