Chapter 880 - Old Lu’s Second Romance (1/2)

“Dad, no matter how much I look at this, actually, I’m still younger. There’s nothing to compare about this, right?” At this time, a cup came flying over. When Lu Jinrong extended his hand, the cup stopped securely in his hand.

When he was studying and playing soccer, he was the goalkeeper. Actually, it was all due to his father’s training for him since he was young. He would casually throw stuff like this, and if he did not catch it, his face would be slapped.

Lu Ke’en grunted and continued eating his food.

“Is that woman believable?” He lowered his voice, and Lu Jinrong opposite him would most definitely not joke about this.

“Yes. I believe her because I saved her.” Lu Jinrong believed in her deeply. He had done business for many years and did know what to do for some things. Of course, he believed in himself as well.

“Dad, did you realize that she’s actually not bad?” Lu Jinrong helped Xia Ruoxin gain brownie points. Of course, it was also because he wanted to protect Xia Ruoxin. “Anyway our family doesn’t have a daughter so you can try to accept her. No matter what, she still has Sister’s face. Yes, that face. Do you really feel nothing for it? You should love your beloved’s family, too. Since Mom likes her, you should like her, too. If not, this will fail; and it all will because of you.”

“I know.” Lu Ke’en understood what Lu Jinrong meant. Which father would not love his daughter, and it was even the daughter he had searched for in a long time? It would be understandable if Jian Qingying’s suspicion was aroused because he did not feel any closeness to his daughter.

Besides, that woman had the exact same face as his daughter that had passed on. Sometimes, he really could not harden his heart; but he could not give up on his face. However, it seemed like that lady never minded it. In front of Jian Qingying, she would still call him ‘Dad’. This ‘Dad’ sounded special to him, but he could not pinpoint exactly what made it that way. Anyway, he just did not hate it.

Xia Ruoxin helped Jian Qingying soak her feet. In no time, she fell asleep; and it was a deep sleep. It seemed like she could naturally sleep all the way to the next morning.

Not long later, she sat in Lu Ke’en’s study again like an honest child. She did not say it, but she was also cautious.

“Are you still lacking in anything?”

After a long time, Lu Ke’en then said this one sentence with a wooden tone and a cold face.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu. I don’t lack anything.” Xia Ruoxin knew that he was just asked casually out of politeness so she would not ask anything from him. Besides, she did not need anything.

This ‘Mr. Lu’ made Lu Ke’en’s blood boil for some reason, but once he looked at her face that was exactly like his daughter’s, he could not do anything about it. He could not voice out any more harsh words.

“Okay, go back then.”

He also did not know how to face this stranger with her daughter’s face so, in the end, he did not say anything.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and bowed towards Lu Ke’en before walking out. However, Lu Ke’en’s heart was still pretty uncomfortable and conflicted. She could call Jian Qingying ‘Mom’, Lu Jinrong ‘Brother’, but why did he become ‘Mr. Lu’? Could she not call him ‘Uncle’ or something?

He seemed to have forgotten that he had a brick-like face which did not allow her to do so. Besides, he had said certain things very clearly beforehand, and she just accepted her own status and did not do anything wrong. Hence, even if he wanted to rage, he needed to see who it was. However, it was impossible for him to let go of his pride.
