Chapter 5: The Middle of the Family
The brother and sister looked at each other at the door, and even after a long time, they couldn't believe that it was their brother/sister standing in front of them.
Lu Shaowei frowned, but he couldn't connect his former sister with the person in front of him.
The little sister who used to run around the yard in all kinds of new clothes, followed her and Lu Yuan sweetly, and always begged for toys from herself.
and the woman in front of her, who was wearing an apron, dirty, and covered with calluses on her hands......
It's true... Is it a person?
"Brother!"
In the end, it was Lu Siyao's "brother" that broke the atmosphere, and then subconsciously wanted to jump into Lu Shaowei's arms.
Lu Shaowei also opened his hands and was ready to catch it.
But immediately, Lu Siyao put away her excitement and became restrained.
Lu Shaowei couldn't help frowning.
The brother and sister haven't seen each other for so many years, what is there to avoid when they meet and hug?
"Lu Siyao, the pot is about to burn! You're ......"
A male voice suddenly came from the room, and immediately after, a man in pajamas and slippers walked out, his face seemed to be a little angry.
But when he saw that it was Lu Shaowei, he was stunned like Lu Siyao.
The person in front of him is Lu Siyao's husband Bai Yu.
The former Bai Yu was also a personable rich young master.
Every day, when I go out in a luxury car, I go home and the maid saddles the horse, and I am even more polite.
But now he is dressed in old pajamas, with a chubby beer belly, and his body is unkempt.
He is obviously less than thirty, but he is already like a middle-aged greasy uncle in his forties and fifties.
"Second uncle! What are you doing here! ”
Bai Yu, who was still a little annoyed just now, saw Lu Shaowei, his expression immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he hurriedly beckoned Lu Shaowei into the house.
"Go to the kitchen and look, the pot is going to burn out!"
Bai Yu subconsciously ordered Lu Siyao, but immediately realized that something was wrong.
As soon as he turned his head, Lu Shaowei was really staring at him with faint eyes.
"Ouch, second uncle, I'm really embarrassed, I just woke up, and I'm a little angry when I get up!"
Bai Yu hurriedly put on a smiling face: "And this girl ...... Si Yao, she is always confused, how much can you bear with her! ”
Lu Shaowei took a deep breath.
Lu Siyao is indeed a little confused, after all, this little girl has been taken care of since she was a child, and she can't do any work well.
But, that is the princess of their Lu family.
Even if it's a brother-in-law, you can't bully.
But today is the day of their brother and sister reunion, Lu Shaowei didn't want to get angry, so he had to suppress his anger and look at this room.
Old sofas, old coffee tables, old dining tables, almost everything is old.
Although they were all spotlessly cleaned, they still couldn't hide the damage on the furniture.
Even on the legs of the sofa, there are a few traces of being eaten by insects.
How could the once prosperous Bai family fall into such a field?
"Second uncle, when did you come to Jingyang City? Why didn't you say a word to me in advance! ”
Bai Yu poured water for Lu Shaowei while serving tea, and asked for warmth with a hippie smile.
Lu Shaowei didn't answer, after all, he couldn't tell him that "he was killing people outside", but changed the topic.
"What has happened to you all these years?"
"The Bai family in my impression doesn't look like this."
Who knew that this question actually poked at Baiyu's pain point.
He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and sighed deeply.
"Second uncle, you don't know, you haven't been in these years, our family has encountered a big event."
"I was originally in the tobacco business outside, and I have made a lot of money in the past few years, but because I was too showy, the people of the Qin family were targeted!"
"The Qin family pretended to cooperate with me, but in the end, they not only defrauded my company of all the money, but also used me as a springboard to embezzle the Bai family's assets!"
"It's all because I was too young at the time to guard against the claws of the Qin family! My dad died of a heart attack, and my sister also died of sudden overwork, so I was the only one left and lived here with Siyao......"
Speaking of this, Bai Yu couldn't say any more, and tears were almost falling.
The young master, who was once high, was played with as a down-and-out otaku.
The dignity of men, at this moment, was completely shattered.
"So you're a homebody who has nothing to do, drinking all day at home to kill your worries?"
However, Bai Yu's confession not only did not arouse Lu Shaowei's sympathy, but made him even more annoyed.
made a big mistake because he was young and frivolous, this kind of thing, he Lu Shaowei is very familiar with.
But what he chose was to hide his identity and make a comeback; And Bai Yu is hiding in the dark feet, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.
How can a man be defeated by a single defeat?
Seeing that Bai Yu didn't answer, Lu Shaowei didn't ask much, just slowly got up and walked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Lu Siyao was busy operating the kitchenware.
Lu Shaowei really couldn't believe it, this housewife who was coughing with oil smoke was Lu Siyao, who used to be in the Lu family.
"Brother? How did you get in? ”
Lu Siyao noticed Lu Shaowei coming in and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
"Go out and sit for a while, the dish will be ready soon, I haven't seen you for so many years, let you taste my craftsmanship!"
After that, he smiled innocently at Lu Shaowei.
But just such a smile made Lu Shaowei even more distressed.
He stepped forward, hugged Lu Siyao tightly in his arms, and stroked her head.
"I'm sorry ......"
He really didn't know that his disappearance for so many years would make Lu Siyao suffer so much.
Originally, Lu Siyao was asked to marry into the Bai family to let her enjoy the joy of family, but she didn't expect it to ......
Looking at Lu Siyao, who had changed greatly, Lu Shaowei at this time only had countless guilt in his heart......
"Come with me and leave, let's go back to Lu's house," Lu Shaowei said softly: "We are not wronged by this!" ”
"Now that I'm back, everything will be fine......"
Lu Shaowei clearly felt that Lu Siyao in his arms was trembling slightly.
But after a while, she still gently pushed Lu Shaowei away.
"What are you talking about, brother?"
Lu Siyao lowered her head and smiled: "I have already married into the Bai family, and I am a member of the Bai family, how can I abandon them because they have become poor?" ”
"Although Bai Yu is poor, he is good to me! I'm sure he just needs a little time to pick himself up! ”
Lu Shaowei was stunned and didn't say anything.
He thought that Lu Siyao would hug him and cry, and then leave with him, but who would have thought that the little princess, who was once high, would actually say such a thing.
For a while, Lu Shaowei didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Let's get out there and wait! Meals are ready right away, eat here and go! ”
Lu Siyao suddenly raised her head, smiled at Lu Shaowei, and jokingly pushed him towards the kitchen door.
also deliberately wiped away his tears and grimaced at Lu Shaowei, like when he was a child.
Lu Shaowei was helpless, so he had to turn around and go out.
But what he didn't notice was that the moment he turned around, Lu Siyao's gaze seemed to glance at Bai Yu, who had been staring outside the door......
