My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

When the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson returned home, only Lu Shulang was back; the other four who were at work had not come home.

Hearing the noise, Lu Shulang rushed out. He had finally made it home after school, only to find the house empty except for the servants.

He was bored and played with mud in the yard.

"Little sister, sob sob sob, you're finally back."

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Lu Shulang ran up and stopped it. He looked at the people in the car with a wronged expression, and his pent-up frustration suddenly exploded.

Although he loves his younger sister very much, he feels that no one in his family loves him anymore. His grandfather used to pick him up from school often and buy him snacks.

His older brother would secretly buy him toys, but now, he hasn't felt the adults' attention towards him for a long time.

Especially today, when he returned home in high spirits only to find no one there, a wave of emptiness and resentment washed over him.

"Honey, what happened to you?"

Le Bao was carried off the bus and saw the little boy crying in front of the bus. She quickly ran up to him and asked him what was wrong.

"Shulang, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will back you up."

When asked by the two of them, Lu Shulang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

Lu Yifan hadn't seen his younger brother cry so hard in a long time. He first checked his brother's body and found no injuries. Then he squatted down, hugged his brother, and gently comforted him.

Le Bao frowned, looked at his grandfather, and then pointed at the crying little boy. His grandfather shook his head; he didn't know what was wrong either.

The group stood at the door. Gradually, Lu Shulang's emotions calmed down, and Lu Yifan then asked him softly:

"Shulang, can you tell your brother what happened?"

Lu Shulang sobbed, his head lowered, and asked in a muffled voice:

"Does everyone dislike me anymore and only like my younger sister?"

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Then came self-blame.

After Le Bao returned, everyone did focus more attention on her, to the point that they overlooked the fact that Lu Shulang was also just a child of a few years old.

"I'm sorry, Shulang, it's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa has neglected your feelings lately. Grandpa apologizes to you."

"Shulang, it's not that we don't love you, it's just that your little sister is still young. When we came home, everyone inevitably paid more attention to her."

It was our fault, and my brother was wrong too. Can you forgive us?

After hearing their explanations, Lu Shulang felt a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have competed with his sister for her affection; he liked her too.

"Honey, I love you so much, I love you the most, my little honey."

When Le Bao realized that everyone loved her more and loved Guo Guo less, the little girl quickly stepped forward to confess that she loved Guo Guo the most.

Le Bao touched the older boy's face, her eyes full of sincerity.

Lu Shulang wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, embarrassed: "Little sister, I like you the most too."

The two little ones smiled at each other and hugged.

Seeing his grandson finally smile, Lu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he also needed to talk to the others and tell them to pay more attention to their grandson, as children are very perceptive.

"Hey buddy, here you go."

Le Bao took a medal off his neck and put it on Lu Shulang.

"We're like good friends, we all have them."

It means we're good friends; what I have, you also have.

The incident passed, and the brother and sister went back inside to watch TV, hand in hand.

"Here you go, little sister, this is Peppa Pig, the show you like."

Lu Shulang proactively switched the TV to Peppa Pig and handed the remote to his younger sister.

"Crab hot pot".

The chubby boy kissed his older brother, enjoying the older brother's humility without a care in the world.

"Shulang is great. He knows how to be considerate of his younger sister. He's a good older brother."

Lu Jianguo and Lu Yifan also provided him with appropriate emotional support.

Lu Shulang's grievances had long since vanished, and he was now willingly sitting next to his sister on the ground watching her favorite Peppa Pig.

"Brother, I'm hurt."

As she looked at the wound, Le Bao remembered that she hadn't told her older brother about her injury. She pointed to the scar on her forehead and leaned closer to Lu Shulang.

"Let me blow on it for you, does it still hurt?"

"It hurts."

Regardless of whether it hurts or not, the little guy always answers "it hurts" whenever someone asks.

The little one's injury made Lu Shulang feel even more guilty. He felt that his sister was injured, and he was being immature by competing with her for her attention; he wasn't a good older brother.

So, whatever his younger sister did next, Lu Shulang followed her carefully, protecting her.

Wen Xian and Lu Feng returned home one after the other.

Lu Jianguo told Lu Yifan to wait for his parents at the door and to tell them about Lu Shulang's incident that afternoon, so that they could pay more attention to the child's emotions.

After hearing their eldest son's words, the couple remained silent for a while, and both began to blame themselves.

In the afternoon, Le Bao called them to say he was injured. The couple put down their bags and went to the toy section to check on the little guy. Fortunately, it wasn't serious.

Then, Wen Xian hugged Lu Shulang and sincerely apologized to him:

"Shulang, your parents have neglected you lately, and that's our fault. But you need to know that whether it's your parents, grandpa, your brother, your uncle, your aunt, or your sister, we all love you very much."

Sometimes it's just that we're too embarrassed to say it. If you feel unhappy next time, please speak up so we can understand where we went wrong and correct it in time, okay?

After saying that, Wen Xian gave her son a big kiss on the cheek. Then she gestured to her husband, Lu Feng, to come over, and the couple kissed their son's face so much it was distorted.

Lu Shulang was secretly delighted, but said no.

Lu Yifan watched with a smile.

"Yifan, do you want Daddy and Mommy to give you a kiss too?"

Wen Xian looked up at her eldest son and asked jokingly.

"I'm all grown up now, I don't need it anymore."

"Baby wants it."

Hearing this, the chubby boy sitting on the ground crawled over to the two men's feet and pulled himself up by Lu Feng's trouser leg.

She thought it was so much fun, her brother's face was being kissed by both of them at the same time.

Le Bao raised his little hand, indicating that he wanted to join them.

Lu Feng laughed and picked her up, and the four of them started playing on the sofa.

Lu Jianguo took a picture of this scene and posted it in the group chat, tagging Tang Wanning and Lu Chenyue, asking them when they would be back for dinner.

A few minutes later, Lu Chenyue replied in the group chat that he would reply soon. He promised to buy a cake for the chubby boy and would go buy it after work.

Tang Wanning hasn't replied to messages since the afternoon, and she didn't answer Le Bao's calls either.

Lu Jianguo told Lu Chenyue to check on Tang Wanning before he left and to bring her back with him.

Upon seeing the message, Lu Chenyue asked his assistant Jiang Lin to go downstairs to check the situation. Logically speaking, Tang Wanning, a newcomer, shouldn't be so busy that she wouldn't check messages for so long, let alone see Le Bao's call and not return it.

A few minutes later, Jiang Lin came up and said that Tang Wanning had gone out to deliver the design drawings that afternoon and hadn't returned yet.

Lu Chenyue checked the time; several hours had passed.

Where will she deliver it?

"The design department said they went to the construction site in the development zone."

That place is remote, and because it is still under construction, no vehicles can enter or leave.

Lu Chenyue took out his phone and dialed Tang Wanning's number, but the phone was switched off.

"Drive to the construction site."

Lu Chenyue's face was gloomy.

Jiang Lin: The people in the design department are courting disaster. They'll really cause trouble for him. If anything happens to Tang Wanning, they'll be doomed too.
