Chapter 1529: Eldest Grandson

Downstairs, Mrs. Lu walked out of the kitchen. She stood in the living room and looked at the door. In a second, she was speechless; it was as if she had been struck by lightning.

“Look at that! Jiang Yao has an illegitimate child!” Second Aunt Li laughed disdainfully. “What did I tell you? She is a restless woman. Wasn’t I right about that? What’s so good about that girl from the countryside? Lu Xingzhi should have married one of my nieces. If he did that, you might even be a grandmother now. Are you going to let that child address you as Grandmother?”

Mrs. Lu did not seem to listen to Second Aunt Li’s words at all. When she saw the little boy, who looked exactly like Jiang Yao, at the door, Mrs. Lu’s first thought was not that he was Jiang Yao’s illegitimate child. Instead, she wondered if her son had something that caused Jiang Yao to have a child out of wedlock?

Did he have to marry her because of that?

Was that cute boy her biological grandson?

Mrs. Lu was a little nervous. She hoped that he was her grandson but also that he was not.

If he were, she would be delighted to have a grandson. He looked fair, clean, and adorable. However, if he were her grandson, she might have to hang her son and teach him a good lesson.

“Child, what’s your name?”

Mrs. Lu crouched to maintain eye level with the child. Her voice was so gentle that it was almost honey-like. She wanted to reach out to touch the child’s face, but she saw the vegetable leaves in her hand when she reached out. She quickly withdrew her hand.

Well, she could not touch her eldest grandson’s face with such dirty hands. It would not be good.

The boy rolled his eyes. After sizing up the three people in front of her, Cheng Jinnian’s gaze fell on Mrs. Lu. That person looked a little like a certain man, whom he did not like very much.

“Hello, Auntie. My name is Cheng Jinnian.” The child placed his hand in front of his chest as a form of greeting. Then he explained the meaning of his name so that the adults would know it.

“Oh… Cheng Jinnian.”

Mrs. Lu looked disappointed. His surname was Cheng, not Lu. How could such a cute child not be from the Lu family?

Then, Mrs. Lu put on a smile again because of Cheng Jinnian’s gentlemanly greeting. “You’re so smart. That’s a very good name.”

Cheng Jinnian used idioms to explain the meaning of each word in his name. One could see that the child was very cultured. He looked to be only around five years old. Mrs. Lu was a teacher, so she liked him very much.

“Thank you for your praise, Auntie.” Cheng Jinnian smiled a little bashfully.

Mrs. Li looked at how her sister-in-law and the little boy got along so well.. She felt that her sister-in-law must be mad. How could she speak so kindly to her daughter-in-law’s illegitimate child? “How can you praise your daughter-in-law’s illegitimate child as smart? Has Jiang Yao bewitched you?”
