Chapter 1055: Xingzhi Bought It

Jiang Yao burst out laughing when she heard that. She took off her shoes and rushed over to Lu Yuqing, who was still laughing loudly. “Sister! Is this a surprise?”

Jiang Yao’s sharp voice rang out in the room. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, who were in the living room, suddenly stood up and looked at the door. With a glance, they were both stunned.

“It’s really Xingzhi and Jiang Yao!” Mrs. Lu was so excited that she slapped her own thigh in excitement. She walked to the door hurriedly and asked, “Why did you come back so suddenly? Why did you not call your second uncle to get a driver to pick you up from the airport? The weather is too cold, is it not?”

“Xingzhi and I called on the way home, but no one picked up, so we decided to give you a surprise!” Jiang Yao chuckled and explained, “Xingzhi has three days off, so he picked me up!”

“Surprise! Surprise! That is really a surprise!” Mrs. Lu raised her hand to touch Jiang Yao’s hat. Maybe it was because Jiang Yao’s smile was too bright after she took off her veil, so Mrs. Lu was also affected by her good mood. Her smile was very gentle, and then she praised her. “The hat and scarf look good!”

“Xingzhi bought them!” Jiang Yao complained, “He’s crazy. Not only did he buy that set, but he also bought a set of children’s clothes that he said he would put away for his daughter to use in the future. That day, I went with him to buy powdered milk for Chen Lanying’s son. He also bought a pink milk bottle and a rag doll that he said he would keep for his daughter!”

“Our family is not short of money. If you like it, then buy it. It’s okay!” Mrs. Lu smiled and held Jiang Yao’s hands. Then she looked at Lu Xingzhi. It had only been half a year since they had seen each other, but Mrs. Lu still wanted to see if Lu Xingzhi had become thinner or stronger.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at his wife, who had complained as soon as she entered the house, but he did not say anything. He bent down and gave Jiang Yao a pair of slippers, which he tapped on her feet. He waited until she lifted her feet before putting the slippers on her. Only then did he put his slippers on his own feet.

“‘I guess you hadn’t eaten dinner if you’re home at this hour, right?” Mr. Lu’s eyes were also full of smiles. Then he urged Mrs. Lu, “Go make some food for the kids. Make more; we will consider it dinner and eat it with them.”

“Thank you, Mom!” Jiang Yao said sweetly to Mrs. Lu, who had already gone to the kitchen.

“There is no need for thanks; we’re a family. The last time you came back, I did not have time to cook you a delicious meal. Since you’re home this time, I will cook a good meal for both of you,” she said, but Jiang Yao’s appreciation still made Mrs. Lu very happy. Who would not like to have a cute child at an older age?

After she said that, Mrs. Lu had already gone to the kitchen. She was in an excellent mood. As they sat in the living room, they could hear her in the kitchen as she hummed a song.

Lu Yuqing leaned back in her seat and looked at Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi, who had gone upstairs to put their things away. She laughed discreetly; they had arrived home in time to let her escape the bitter conversation that her parents had with her.

After Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao went downstairs, Mr. Lu inquired about the continuation of Chen Lanying’s incident. He heard Lu Xingzhi say that Jiang Yao had pretended to be angry and went back to her hometown and that Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao used that as an excuse to take Jiang Yao back to the army. They did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“You two really treated the army as—” Mr. Lu scolded the two with a smile on his face. After that, he immediately added another sentence, “Well, you can’t let people think that you are easy to bully. Don’t pay the price for that.”
