C183 (2/2)
The old lady froze, her gaze complicated. ”It's good that you didn't say anything.” Little Four, it's been so many years … If someone hadn't mentioned it, we'd all have forgotten it. ”Don't take it to heart. You are the son of me and your father. No one can fake it.”
”I know, Mom.”
Only then did she relax and turn around to glare angrily at the old man, ”I don't know who's the cause of all this trouble, it's so old and yet you still have to dig it out.”
”Who else?”
The old tutor's eyes were cold as he tightened his grip on his walking stick.
He just didn't want to care about the matters of the younger generation anymore. Whether it was the rape or Little Four's abuse, after all these years, who would still remember that?
He let out a heavy snort.
”If it's too much, don't blame me for not giving face to Old Qin!”
At dinner, they were the only ones in the house.
After Lu Qinan gave food to eat, it was unknown whether it was because of the other or today's news, but the atmosphere on the table was always weird.
She felt that something was wrong, ”Well... What about the Second Sister and the Heroic Assassin? ”
The atmosphere froze for a second. The old man snorted again, causing Lu Qinan to jump in fright.
However, he was too excessive and was glared at by the old lady. He turned around and gently smiled as he explained, ”We're moving out. This place is too far from the beginning, kids have already been married for so long, they shouldn't be living in the Gu’s Yard.”
”Right, shouldn't I call you about going to kindergarten during the day? You two should take her to school tomorrow. She's four years old, so there's no time to delay.”
Lu Qinan thought for a while, seeing a certain pretty stupid woman eating so much, he frowned, ”Eating has no foundation, I'm thinking to find a home tutor for her first …”
”No way!”
Before she could finish, she heard a shout in her ear, and raised her head to look at the old man in a daze, choking.
”Why not?”
The old man snorted, his expression turning ugly as he replied in a rough voice.
”So what if there's an outsider at home? If it's a man, then don't worry. If it's a woman, then don't worry …” ”Hmph, what if an uneducated person wants to climb the ranks of the strong? Or if his character is bad and he tries to bully us to eat …”
He did not finish.
Lu Qinan looked to the side and realized that even the Old Granny's expression wasn't very natural. He nudged the man beside him.
”Fourth Uncle …”
Gu Zhongshen put down the tableware, his face did not reveal much emotion, and only opened his eyes after a long while. A smile was on his face, but his eyes were clearly not happy.
He only explained in a low voice, ”Our family won't be able to enjoy this. The old man is right, eating is a girl, the male teachers are worried. As for the female teachers … Aren't you worried about what she might do to your husband? ”
Lu Qinan frowned, glancing at the man up and down.
With Fourth Uncle's looks, it was natural that many girls would try to get close to her. However, she could find an older person who was married …
”Besides, the foundation of the kindergarten is not that important. Later on, let Bao Bao teach her. ”
Gu Zhongshen found a reason.
She raised her head and asked: ”Can Bao Bao do?”
The little guy was smart, but he was less patient. He was always loud like his father, and baby was also used to it. Otherwise, he would really cry after three meals.
Bao Bao acknowledged her presence and casually placed the peeled prawns into a bowl to eat, ”What's wrong with that? She is so stupid, and can't be taught by her teachers.”
”Are you sure you want to eat?”
”What brother said makes sense!”
How could pretty stupid woman understand that she was being scolded? She didn't hear him clearly and only ate the prawns peeled by her brother. She only listened to him in her heart and foolishly responded.
”Yes, what my son said to my daughter makes sense.”
Lu Qinan, ”...”
After finishing dinner, it was about 8 o'clock. Lu Qinan no longer needed to worry about food, she only helped her wash and tidy up the place, then Bao Bao came over with a fairy tale book in her pajamas.
Lu Qinan returned to his bedroom.
The man was standing by a cabinet in the corner, his tall body casting deep shadows in the dim light.
Lu Qinan walked in and discovered that he had his head lowered looking at something.
”Fourth Uncle.”
When she called out his name, Gu Zhongshen's body froze. Unknowingly, the metal box in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
With a ”pa da” sound, the things inside were scattered.
The strange objects that were rummaged through, like children's toys, were all very old. She didn't take a closer look and just assumed that it was something that he had left behind when he was young.
Lu Qinan squatted down and helped him pick it up, but the man quickly took the thing from her hands.
”Don't touch it.”
His voice was low and deep, causing Lu Qinan to be startled, but he stopped and crouched down by the side to watch him get ready.
When he stood up, he was astonished to see that the man seemed to be holding something in his palm, like an old photo.
He could vaguely see that it was a woman.
