The old lady was a little like a child, needing to be coaxed all the time. Qiao Anhao didn't show the slightest bit of impatience, and kept chatting with the old lady. From the old lady's mouth, she learned many things about Lu Jinnian.
On the afternoon of Lu Jinnian's appearance, the old granny had repeatedly told her about how Lu Jinnian had been a child. Everyone knew that Lu Jinnian's mother worked at a nightclub, and everyone had looked down on her. On top of that, Lu Jinnian's mother was beautiful, so every time the men in the neighborhood saw her, they would take a few extra glances at her. This made the women at home unhappy, and as time passed, many of the women in the neighborhood gathered together to scold Lu Jinnian's mother for being a vixen. They would even tell their own children to stay away from Lu Jinnian.
At first, because of his young age, Lu Jinnian didn't know how to read people's expressions, so he didn't know that the kids in the neighborhood hated him. When he saw the kids playing, he would go over to play, but every time he did, the other kids would look down on him. After a while, Lu Jinnian stopped. During the day, his mother slept, and at night, she had to go out, so she couldn't be with him. Most of the time, he squatted alone in the corner of the neighborhood, entertaining himself.
There was one time when the naughtiest little boy in the neighborhood ran over to find trouble with him. He seemed to have scolded his mother, and in the end, the two of them started fighting. The little boy was smashed in the head by Lu Jinnian with a brick, and the people in the neighborhood didn't ask who was in the right or wrong. They just woke Lu Jinnian's mother up, and they started to blame the two of them.
From then on, Lu Jinnian rarely went out during the day.
When the old lady said this, she let out a heavy sigh.
That sigh made Qiao Anhao's heart twitch violently.
She never knew that Lu Jinnian's childhood was so dark.
In this world, no one was born cold and aloof. It was just that because people didn't accept them, they could only pretend that they didn't want to accept others, to disguise their basic dignity.
Qiao Anhao wanted to ask the old lady more about Lu Jinnian, but the doorbell suddenly rang. The nanny went to open the door, and when she saw Lu Jinnian standing outside, she was pleasantly surprised. "Mr. Lu, you're here?"
When Qiao Anhao heard this, she hurriedly walked out of the old lady's bedroom. She saw Lu Jinnian step into the house with a few bags.
This time, Qiao Anhao looked at him more clearly than she had on New Year's Eve.
Apart from becoming thinner, there were no other changes to him. His body still exuded a noble and cold aura.
Lu Jinnian didn't seem to notice her. He first passed the bag to the nanny, then changed his shoes. His voice was calm and emotionless. "Where's grandma?"
The nanny replied, "In the bedroom."
He nodded and turned around. Just as he was about to walk into the bedroom, he saw Qiao Anhao standing at the door.
Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows, a trace of astonishment flashed across his indifferent eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. When he spoke, his voice was cold, as though she was a stranger. "What are you doing here?"
