Chapter Seventy-Three: Mommy, How Old Are You?
"Hello Zhuman, what a coincidence, is there something wrong with your car?" At this time, Lu Yu had already gotten off his black Land Rover and had already walked to Zhu Man's side.
"Yes," Zhu Man smiled at Lu Yu in distress and said, "Suddenly the fire went out, and then I couldn't fight if I wanted to, I was just about to call my friend." β
"That's the case, did you call Ah Yan?"
Zhu Man honestly told him: "I called, on the phone." β
Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Then you can take my car." β
Zhu Man found that after not seeing him for a long time, Lu Yu seemed to be a little more cheerful than before, maybe because the old man collapsed, and the hatred in his heart was resolved, so the whole person was also much brighter.
Zhu Man bent his lips lightly and excused himself: "Don't bother you, I'll call you as a friend." β
"Let's take my car, call your friend and you'll have to wait. Besides, in fact, we are also a family, and there is nothing wrong with you taking my car. β
"Alright then, I'll bother you." Zhu Man no longer shirked, and sat on Lu Yu's black Land Rover generously.
Regarding the "family" that Lu Yu said just now, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, saying yes yes, saying no and no. After all, before the old man fell, the two brothers Lu Shenyan and Lu Yu had always been fighting openly and secretly, and the most recent cooperation was a cooperation to bring down the Lu family, which was probably the first time they had ever cooperated.
Probably, and the last collaboration.
Therefore, when Lu Yu proposed to give Zhuman a ride, she refused. Although he finally got into Lu Yu's car, I have to say that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
It was Lu Yu who took the lead in speaking to break the silence and embarrassment, he said: "Actually, after the old man's incident passed, I think that I don't have to be so responsive to Ah Yan's quality inspection, and you don't have to be too responsive to me, it's okay to be a friend after all." β
Zhu Man listened to it and smiled brightly, in fact, she also thought about it in her heart just now, what can't she let go?
Besides, Lu Shenyan is Lu Shenyan, she is her, there is no need for her to be estranged from the man in front of her because of the grievances between Lu Shenyan and Lu Yu.
What's more, even if Lu Yu really has bad intentions, will she be afraid as a gold medal killer?
So, she said, "You're right, we can still be friends." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and slowly began to chat, and the atmosphere of the two chatting was like an old friend who had known each other for many years.
Zhu Man didn't call Lu Shenyan again, but directly called a tow truck, if Lu Shenyan knew, he would definitely say that such a broken car would just be thrown on the side of the road and given to the old man who picked up the rags.
But Zhu Man felt that although it was a dilapidated car, it was also a luxury car worth millions, and it was a pity to give it directly to the old man who picked up the rags, she could save a little bit, she was a good child who was diligent and thrifty, and she was resolutely opposed to extravagance and waste.
Along the way, Lu Yu inadvertently saw the calm face of Zhu Man in the rearview mirror, and the eyes of the opposing ones flashed with wisdom in an instant.
He said: "If my guess is correct, you should not only be the nanny of Lu Shenyan's family, or you should say that you are not the nanny of his family." β
Zhu Man bent her lips, and her eyes, which had been drooping, also raised, and she asked, "You think I'm not the nanny in Lu Shenyan's family, so who do you think I am in his family?" β
"You are the one that Ah Yan loves."
Lu Yu hooked his lips, put away his usual somewhat playful and lazy smile, and said very seriously.
Sure enough, he saw it, Zhu Man smiled lightly and said, "Lu Shao is really not simple. β
The smile on Lu Yu's face was even stronger, and he didn't seem to be surprised by Zhu Man's admission, even the woman that Lu Zeng, the old man, was going to target, and she was naturally someone Lu Shenyan cared about very much.
"Let me guess again, you are the mother of the twins, Xiaobao and Xiaobei." Lu Yu still asked calmly, because he knew that the answer was yes.
And Zhu Man also honestly admitted that Lu Yu had already guessed his relationship with Lu Shenyan, so the relationship with the children naturally couldn't be hidden from him. What's more, there's no need to deny it, he'll know sooner or later anywayβif he wants to know.
After this topic, the two who had been chatting fairly well fell into a long silence again.
And Zhu Man didn't feel embarrassed by silence, and looked out the window with interest, the trees, houses and pedestrians on the side of the road who were rapidly retreating were actually not in her eyes.
Because, she just pretended to look out the window. Actually, her brain was thinking.
Why did Lu Yu suddenly appear? Zhu Man will be more or less skeptical about whether this is pure coincidence.
After all, Lu Yu was far more intelligent and cunning than he seemed. In a previous contact, she had already discovered that he was not simple, and a man who was thick and good at disguise was the most terrifying.
The old man probably didn't expect that his most uncompetitive grandson Lu Yu, a playboy and a loser, would one day collapse the Lu family. And now that the Lin family's power has been completely transferred to Lu Yu's hands, his power is even stronger.
Staying in the same car with such a powerful and disguised man, Zhu Man felt that he needed to be vigilant.
"Am I sending you home?"
"Please send me to Starlight Elementary School, I'll pick up the children and go home."
"Okay." At this time, Lu Yu's car had already driven to the viaduct, and it was only less than a twenty-minute drive from the Starlight Primary School in the city center.
After that, the two were silent again. When the car was about to drive to the children's school, Lu Yu spoke.
He said to Zhu Man, "I think you are a very smart and interesting woman, probably Ah Yan fell in love with you because of this." β
Zhu Man bent his lips, in fact, what Lu Yu said was not entirely right, it was not so much that Lu Shenyan fell in love with her because of her advantages, but that he was attracted to her because of her advantages.
In fact, Zhu Man prefers to believe in another, more romantic explanation: love is inexplicable, love has no reason, and the reason for falling in love with someone is only after falling in love with this person. However, Zhu Man was still grateful for Lu Yu's words, because in her opinion, this was a compliment.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "You are really not modest at all." β
Zhu Man couldn't help but laugh, she said, "What you said is the truth, I don't need to be humble." Lu Yu laughed again after hearing this.
The black Land Rover stopped steadily in front of Starlight Primary School, Zhu Man got out of the car and waved at Lu Yu in the driver's seat, "Thank you for giving me a ride, it's troublesome." β
Lu Yu smiled, that smile was still bright and harmless, but Zhu Man knew very well in his heart that it was not that he was bright and harmless, but that he was very good at disguise.
"It's just a word of thanks, and it's a little perfunctory." Lu Yu said half-jokingly.
So Zhu Man also said half-jokingly: "That's okay, I have time to invite you to dinner and thank you in person." β
However, what made Zhu Man a little stunned was that the man actually said: "Okay, then it's decided, we'll see you another day, bye-bye." With that, he drove away in a black Land Rover.
Zhu Man's good-looking brows furrowed instantly, what did Lu Yu mean?
Zhu Man lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, and had a vague answer in his heart. Lu Yu has just started to take over the Lin family, and there are still many things to do. Although Lu Yu's strength is much stronger now than before, it is not enough for him to dominate. So now he is in great need of an ally with whom he can cooperate. And Lu Shenyan, as his half-brother, is the best partner to work with.
What's more, they have already cooperated once before, and the result of the cooperation is also a win-win situation for both parties.
But this is just Zhu Man's conjecture, no matter whether Lu Yu's purpose is like this or not, she believes that Lu Shenyan will always be able to handle everything properly, and she, there is no need to waste her brain cells here to think so much.
When the children finally got out of school, the doorman slowly opened the school doors.
Finally, the children who waited for the end of school flew out of Starlight Primary School like birds, but fortunately, with the guidance of the teacher, the naughty children returned to the line and lined up.
Zhu Man's eyes widened, looking for her two familiar little faces among the group of children.
Zhu Xiaobei poked out her cute head from the team and looked around, Zhu Man looked at the immature little face and couldn't help laughing.
"Mommy!" Zhu Xiaobei's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw Zhu Man among the group of parents waiting outside the school gate.
Because, her mommy is the most beautiful fairy, standing out from the crowd and sparkling.
And Zhu Xiaobao next to Zhu Xiaobei also discovered Zhu Man, but his performance was extremely calm, as if he hadn't seen his mother.
"Xiaobao Xiaobei, Mommy is here!"
The kind and virtuous Zhu Man's mother, her tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, and as soon as the children poured out of the school gate, she couldn't wait to step forward and take Zhu Xiaobao and Zhu Xiaobei's little hands.
"Ma'am." Hearing the familiar voice of Mary, Zhu Man turned his head to look.
"Madame, why do you have time to come here today?" Mary asked Zhu Man as she walked towards it.
"Well, I didn't go to work today, I went to see my friends, so I still have time to talk to them, so I'll come and pick up the kids." Zhu Man said.
"Alright, I'll drive everyone home." Mary said as she helped pick up Zhu Xiaobei, then took out a lollipop from her pocket that she promised to buy her this morning, and carefully tore the wrapping paper of the candy before she handed the lollipop to Zhu Xiaobei's hand.
Zhu Xiaobei's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the colorful lollipop, she couldn't wait to take the lollipop in her mouth, and didn't forget to take a bite on Mary's cheek, "Wow, that's great." Sister Mary, I love you to death! β
Mary, who was kissed by Zhu Xiaobei, was a little crying and laughing, this poo made her face wet and sticky, because Zhu Xiaobei's saliva had the sweetness of lollipops.
Zhu Man and Zhu Xiaobao Zhu Xiaobei sat in the car safely, and Mary was in charge of driving.
So, in the space in the back seat, the competent Mary began her routine greeting to the children again.
"Xiaobei, what did you learn in class today? Can I understand what the teacher is saying? β
But Zhu Xiaobei had a lollipop in his mouth, and he couldn't say a word vaguely.
Well, this snack goods, lost to her.
"Okay, Xiaobei, you eat your lollipop first, I'll ask when you're done, now ask my brother first." So Zhu Man turned his gaze to Zhu Xiaobao.
"Dear Xiaobao, did you listen to the teacher in class today?"
Zhu Xiaobao was silent and didn't look at Zhu Man, just stared at the tablet in her hand quietly.
The conscientious mommy felt extremely hurt, and said aggrievedly: "Zhu Xiaobao, don't bring you like this, Mommy cares about you so much, you can take care of Mommy." β
is such a sensual voice, and such an aggrieved expression, why does a mommy who is already an adult like to be coquettish and cute so much? It's okay for him to sell cuteness with his father, and he has to sell cuteness with a five-year-old child, which is really hypocritical.
Zhu Xiaobao really wants to ask his mommy, how old are you this year.
