1497 Lu Beichen You Are Making Use Of the ChildThe kindergarten’s graduation ceremony was very grand.
Lin Che watched her child stand up there to give a speech, looking absent-minded.
This was also the teacher’s arrangement.
They wanted to get someone with the most significant influence for the speech so that people would watch it when they uploaded it online.
Needless to say, everyone knew that the one with the greatest influence at current was Gu Shinian.
Sure enough, Black Eagle arrived soon after.
“Did you go to Feiran’s just now?” Black Eagle nudged Lin Che’s shoulder.
Lin Che replied, “Yes.”
Black Eagle scratched his nose. “You didn’t say anything to her, right?”
Lin Che smiled and looked at Black Eagle. “Oh, are you talking about that Zhou Tong problem? Well… I…”
Black Eagle’s eyes darkened as he asked threateningly, “What? You told her?”
Lin Che smiled wider. “Alright, relax. I didn’t.”
Black Eagle punched her playfully.
“Hey, your sister-in-law is here,” Black Eagle said.
Lin Che turned her head and saw that Gu Jingyan had arrived.
Gu Jingyan smiled as she walked to them. “You are both here.”
Lin Che said, “Yes. Have you seen Apple?”
“Yeah, I did. She’s inside, and she’s fine. I’ll just stay here to watch.” Gu Jingyan looked at Gu Shinian, who was on stage. “Your Niannian is capable now. He’s becoming more and more… like his dad.”
Lin Che shrugged speechlessly. “It’s all because of your family’s genes.”
Just then, Lu Beichen walked in from behind.
Lu Beichen’s eyes met Black Eagle’s. They looked at one another silently and felt somewhat awkward for a brief moment before they turned their heads away at the same time.
Gu Jingyan and Lin Che looked at one another and shrugged speechlessly.
Sometimes, men got shy more easily than women.
Lin Che broke the awkward silence. “Lu Beichen, you’re actually here. How rare.”
Lu Beichen replied, “Why? My child is graduating. Can’t I come to watch?”
“Really? I thought Jingyan behaved like a typical widowed mother. You usually never appear.”
“…”
What widowed mother?!
But Lu Beichen looked inside and thought that it indeed seemed to be that way.
Apple was rather fond of her father. She would look for Lu Beichen when she was free.
However, that could not be considered raising the child. It was just like having some playtime. Usually, it was Gu Jingyan who managed every aspect of raising the child.
Lu Beichen didn’t even know that it was already Apple’s graduation ceremony. If his household hadn’t reminded him, he might have missed it.
Because in the past, if anything cropped up with Apple, Gu Jingyan would be the first to know, and hardly anyone would inform him.
Lu Beichen took a deep breath and looked at Apple, who was wearing a tiny graduation robe. Her petite face looked very much like Gu Jingyan’. It was beyond adorable.
This was his daughter. However, the old him was too muddle-headed that he missed every process of his daughter’s growth.
The little kids dispersed.
The parents saw that Lin Che was around, and they all came to greet her.
Then, they saw Lu Beichen and Gu Jingyan. They also knew who these two were, so they quickly came over and took pictures with them.
As these were parents of the students, both were considerably cooperative and obliged.
No matter how annoyed Lu Beichen was, he wouldn’t dare to flare up in front of Apple. He tolerated it even if everyone treated them like animals in the zoo.
Just then, Apple skipped towards them. When she saw Lu Beichen, she called out, “Daddy.”
“Apple, come here.” Lu Beichen held his arms wide open as Apple ran into them. Looking at Lu Beichen, she said sweetly, “Daddy, why are you here?”
Lu Beichen pretended to be angry. “Why? Can’t I come?”
Apple looked up and said hastily, “No. It’s because Mommy said that Daddy is too busy and can’t see Apple, so Apple should be obedient. Apple doesn’t want to disturb Daddy’s work.”
Lu Beichen’s heart instantly softened.
At the same time, he felt sour and uncomfortable.
Apple was too obedient.
He caressed Apple’s tiny face. “Daddy is not busy now. Apple will always be the top priority. Don’t listen to Mommy anymore. No matter what, you can always come to look for Daddy.”
“Really?” Apple looked at Lu Beichen with widened eyes. “Daddy isn’t busy anymore?”
“Yes, I’m not busy anymore. Daddy wants to take Apple to celebrate after Apple’s graduation. Apple, tell me. Where do you want to go? Daddy will take you.”
“I… I want to go to Disneyland.”
“Okay, Daddy will take you.”
Disneyland was in S City. There was no Disneyland in B City.
Gu Jingyan frowned. “No, it’s too far.”
Lu Beichen carried Apple with one arm, and he faced Gu Jingyan. “What’s wrong? My daughter can go wherever she wants to. Furthermore, it’s her graduation trip. There’s no such thing as too far. I’ll get my people to prepare a flight. We’ll go tonight.”
“What? You really want to take her?” Gu Jingyan wanted to stop him.
He wasn’t someone who knew how to look after a child.
Lu Beichen said, “So what about that? You can come along too. Are you not coming? If you’re not coming, we’ll go by ourselves.”
Lu Beichen turned around and headed for the exit with Apple in his arms.
Apple quickly turned her head and called out happily, “Mommy, come with us.”
What else could she do?
Gritting her teeth, Gu Jingyan had no choice but to follow them.
This damned Lu Beichen. He was even starting to make use of the child now.
Watching from the side, Lin Che shook her head speechlessly.
Black Eagle asked, “What’s up with them?”
Why did it seem off?
Lin Che replied, “You don’t know?”
Black Eagle did not want to bother about Lu family’s affairs, so he naturally did not know.
He always rejected hearing anything to do with the Lu family.
Lin Che said, “Jingyan recently went back to the Gu family. She said that she’s already done the divorce process with Lu Beichen.”
Divorce?
Black Eagle was in deep thoughts. He rubbed his chin with one hand, thinking about that day when Lu Beichen went to look for him and brought up family stuff.
Black Eagle asked, “So what now?”
Lin Che said, “It looks like Lu Beichen isn’t willing to divorce.”
Black Eagle took a deep breath. “None of the Lu family’s men are good people.”
Lin Che cocked her head to one side.
No matter what, Black Eagle was also a Lu.
Black Eagle seemed to react. “Growing in such a rotten environment as their home and with a father like that, no wonder they can’t be good.”
Lin Che said, “I only heard that Uncle Lu doesn’t seem to be in good health.”
Black Eagle frowned again.
Looking into the distance, Black Eagle’s face seemed to darken.
But nobody knew what was going on in his head.
Meanwhile, Lu Beichen really went to prepare a flight.
At the airport, in the private waiting room, Gu Jingyan watched Lu Beichen play with Apple.
She suppressed her emotions but did not look happy. She leaned in her seat and crossed her arms, keeping her eyes fixed on the two of them.
Apple did look extremely happy and was having a perfect time with Lu Beichen.
