Mother Lu and Father Lu prepared the best crib and baby products for their granddaughter. But, Long Jie could tell that Mother Lu didn't do it willingly. It was because she wanted a grandchild.
The atmosphere in the house was a little tense, but Lu Che seemed to have seen through it. So, he said to Long Jie, "You fed late last night. Go inside and have a nap."
Long Jie nodded her head. The good thing about Lu Che was that he always understood her difficulties.
"What about our daughter?"
"I'll coax her to sleep. She'll wake you up when she's hungry."
Without any hesitation, Long Jie headed straight into the bedroom.
Lu Che carried his daughter and tried to test Mother Lu. But, Mother Lu pretended nothing had happened and put on a perfect act. Lu Che did not expose her; he simply waited for lunch to arrive.
Meanwhile, because Long Jie was protected by Lu Che, she was relatively relaxed. But, when it came time for lunch, the atmosphere at the dining table changed again.
At that time, the baby was sleeping and the family of four sat at the dining table without a word. Long Jie looked left and right, feeling uneasy. At this time, Lu Che suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, lifted his head and asked Mother Lu, "Mom, I've thought about it when you spoke to Xiao Man this morning about wanting her to give birth to a son. I think a daughter is enough."
Mama Lu's expression turned unusually ugly in that instant.
"I don't know why you insist on Xiao Man giving birth to a son, but that is a matter between us. Although you are my mother, you can't interfere with my life. I've said this many times before, if you need anything, come to me. There's no need to make things difficult for Xiao Man every time. You know how much effort she's put in to make you like her."
Mother Lu looked down at the bowl in front of her without a word.
"Plus, she just gave birth. As an elder, haven't you thought about whether it's appropriate to tell her something like this at a time like this?"
"She is my wife. I married her because I love her. You are also a woman. Why must you make things difficult for your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Lu did not respond. She simply put down her chopsticks and stood up to leave.
Father Lu was confused, but Lu Che remained calm.
Long Jie tugged at his sleeve, feeling a little uneasy, "Your words are too harsh."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Why? What else could it be? " Mama Lu suddenly returned to the dining table, her expression utterly furious. "The Lu family no longer despises her birth and accepted her as a daughter-in-law. Is it really that hard to have her give birth to another child? I just mentioned it to her this morning, and she immediately complained to her husband. Long Man, you're really something. "
"That's what I found out. She wasn't prepared to tell me at all. Besides, we're husband and wife. If she wants to have a son, doesn't she need to tell me first?" Lu Che's voice was a few times louder than before, "I don't understand. What era are we in? Why do you have to place so many restrictions and demands on your own family? It's not like we're living a shitty life. "
"Xiao Man also relies on her own hands to support herself, how is she worse than you? Where did your sectarian bias come from? How great are you? "
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. In any case, without a grandson, there's no need to talk about anything else."
Seeing that Mother Lu didn't want to continue the conversation, Lu Che added, "You don't respect my wife. Even if I have a son in the future, I will tell him the truth about how his grandmother treated his mother."
"You …"
"Mom, a person should have a bottom line."
"I think you've grown up and have completely forgotten about your parents," Mother Lu burst into tears.
"Don't try to use this to threaten me. You know I hate it and won't be threatened like this." Lu Che protected Long Jie tightly. He knew, in this world, apart from her only family, he was the only one she could rely on.
There were some things that a man had to do.
"Fine, I'll pretend I never had a son like you." After speaking, Mother Lu left the house and Father Lu quickly chased after her.
The dining room suddenly fell silent. Meanwhile, Long Jie leaned against Lu Che's shoulder and asked, "Why did you do this?"
"I need to protect you and our family."
No one wanted to do this, but they always had to make a choice.
Long Jie was moved as she sighed, "Thank you for giving me the best sense of security during my most vulnerable time."
"This is what a husband and father should do."
No matter what the reason was, it didn't make sense for Mother Lu to want a grandson. She could give advice, but she couldn't treat Long Jie like a tool. After all, she was also a woman.
"Mom doesn't like me. Is it because I'm in the entertainment industry? Does she think I'm dirty too? "
"No, don't think too much about it," Lu Che replied.
"Or does she think I'm not capable …"
"I know better than anyone whether you are capable or not. Xiao Man, no matter what you want to do, go ahead and do it." Lu Che couldn't deny that when it came to relationships, Mo Ting had set a good example for him and he had some correct values.
After all, he had never felt that women were weaker than men. Tangning was the best example of that.
It was at this moment that Long Jie swore to herself that she could no longer rely on Lu Che to give her a sense of security like before. She needed to build her own confidence and give herself a sense of security.
As for Mother Lu, she was prepared.
As long as Mother Lu was willing, she would continue to be as filial as a daughter. But, if Mother Lu insisted on causing trouble for her, she would no longer avoid it. She couldn't let Lu Che face problems on his own.
So, she had a plan in mind.
However, this plan would have to wait until her daughter was a little older.
…
After Mo Ting received Lin Qian's resume, he instructed Fang Yu to investigate her background. In the end, he discovered that Lin Qian's background was completely clean.
"President, Lin Qian graduated from a prestigious overseas school. Being an assistant is a huge injustice for her."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Mo Ting didn't care which school Lin Qian graduated from.
"Interestingly, Lin Qian is the younger sister of Quan Ziye, the Heavenly King who returned to China for the Fei Tian Awards. Of course, she is merely an adopted daughter of the Quan Family. But, from the looks of it, the relationship between the two siblings isn't simple." Fang Yu raised an eyebrow at Mo Ting. "This is a hot potato … I can't believe Tangning accepted it."
"Quan Ziye …"
"So what?" Mo Ting asked without lifting his head.
"The Young Master of the Devilish Charm … although I don't know why he left the industry, he is a charming man that can be compared to you …"
