Madam Jiang’s eyes welled up, feeling both like laughing and crying. With a sigh, she realized that the perspective from Lu Qin’s casual snapshot was quite different from what she had seen with her own eyes.
The little child was cute and polite. Because of his hard work in greeting them, his forehead was slightly damp with sweat, revealing a slight, naturally curling arc—wasn’t this just like her?!
Madam Jiang regretted having transferred the shares of Lu Corporation to her son early; otherwise, she could have given them to her grandson.
She decided to make Lu Qin spit it out another day.
Madam Jiang cautiously said, “Grandma will feed you, okay?”
Pei Dundun didn’t hesitate: “Okay.”
Lu Qin gave up his seat and said, “Two spoonfuls will be enough; he’s eaten a lot.”
Madam Jiang: “...”
He walked over to the coffee table and poured a cup of Pu’er tea for his father. “Dad, please have some.”
Lu Jianye still remembered being falsely accused of having an illegitimate child. He lowered his voice and said, “Who is the child’s mother? Have you let her down? If she gets upset and throws the son into an orphanage, even if your mom and I queue up overnight, we won’t be able to bring him home.”
In one statement, he openly mocked his son twice.
Lu Qin admitted, “I haven’t caught up yet.”
He already had a son, but he hadn’t caught up with a wife yet. Lu Jianye was blunt. “Oh, I guess she really doesn’t fancy you. Don’t think having a son means you can do whatever you want.”
“...” Lu Qin said seriously, “Pei Rong gave birth to Dundun. Even if I can’t catch up, I have to keep trying.”
Lu Jianye was stunned. “What did you say?”
Lu Qin looked at him with a surprised expression and remarked, “Your ability to accept things needs improvement.”
Lu Jianye remembered the meeting he had with Pei Rong over two years ago. At that time, Pei Rong didn’t seem nervous or overly concerned about him being Lu Qin’s father. It was evident that Lu Qin had enthusiastically arranged the meeting to introduce them.
If Lu Qin had been waiting for Pei Rong for these past two years, he believed it. Madam Jiang had also hinted around it, but Lu Qin refused to admit it, even going as far as pretending to agree to blind dates to cover it up.
Although his wife had left, his self-respect was still intact.
But the child was Pei Rong’s...? Could it be that Lu Qin made up this lie just to get Pei Rong to come to his door?
Lu Jianye thought about the look of the well-behaved grandson... Apart from Pei Rong, no one else had those genes.
Oh well, no matter whose child it was, he was his eldest grandson.
Madam Jiang not only fed him meals but also told stories, much like Grandma Zhao, which made Pei Dundun feel particularly close to the other.
Before long, the conversation turned to the wound on his forehead.
“Dundun, does it hurt? Grandma feels sorry for you.”
Pei Dundun: “It doesn’t hurt.”
Madam Jiang asked, “How did you get hurt? Where did you bump into?”
Pei Dundun patted Orange: “Someone was bullying Orange, so I got hurt trying to save Orange.”
Orange sat nearby and meowed.
Madam Jiang looked concerned: “That’s terrible. How could someone bully Dundun’s cat?”
One could tell a lot about a dog from its owner. With that saying in mind, wasn’t there a risk that Dundun could also be bullied?
Pei Ge said, “Because Orange is that person’s cat, so I bought Orange with my watch.”
Madam Jiang sighed with relief: “Dundun is really smart, naturally good at business! Trading a watch for such an impressive cat.”
Lu Jianye sat down and joined the interaction of the grandmother and grandson: “Dundun is really talented.”
Lu Qin: “...”
Wasn’t anyone going to ask how much his watch cost?
He specifically checked the price of the watch on Pei Dundun’s hand; the highest configuration was 40,000.
Pei Rong was still reliable. While you can buy the child’s clothes from flea markets, it’s worth investing in the best quality for essential items like these.
Exchanging 40,000 for a cat, one could only say that the deal was not too harsh, showing courage in negotiation.
Setting aside the price, Orange must be a cat worth getting injured for, so President Lu also joined in the praise.
Pei Dundun scratched his cheek; his dad said the exchange was actually a loss.
The Lu family didn’t seem to know how to do business.
All day long, Lu Qin never left the little child; Pei Dundun didn’t find a chance to talk to his dad.
Even a lazy person lying around all day would start to feel uneasy. Pei Rong was afraid Pei Dundun had gotten into trouble.
The Lu family’s land was incredibly valuable, and even with Lu Qin’s backing, it’s still a bit heartbreaking to spend on it.
Luckily, he had insiders in the Lu family.
Pei Rong got a basic understanding of today’s important events at the Lu’s from the logistics guys.
Frontline report: Prince Dundun accompanied President Lu Qin to a high-level meeting, where attendees expressed admiration for Dundun’s good behavior. Dundun sat quietly next to President Lu, looking at picture books without crying or fussing. During the meeting, whichever senior official President Lu pointed out to Dundun, the child remembered their surname and even addressed them as ‘Uncle’ after the meeting.
According to insiders, when someone came to report to the CEO, Dundun was sitting in President Lu’s lap eating a lollipop, a heartwarming scene.
In conclusion: Dundun had received unanimous praise from the Lu family.
Pei Rong: ???
He was first shocked by President Lu bringing his child to the meeting, then shocked by how well-behaved Pei Dundun was, almost like a lamb.
He discussed with Jiang Yan: “Is Pei Dundun feeling a bit restrained in a new environment?”
“This isn’t good. Should we bring him back tonight?”
Jiang Yan was confident: “It’s not about feeling restrained.”
Pei Rong, alert: “Did you teach him something?”
Jiang Yan, with hidden intentions: “I taught him... to play the fool, to catch a smart one.”
“Aren’t you worried he’ll get a beating? Let President Lu’s fatherly love overflow first, then stir up trouble later; that way, there’s a father-son bond, and he won’t be able to bear disciplining him.”
Pei Rong: “Do you think he can stay well-behaved for a few days?”
Jiang Yan calculated: “One or two days should be enough.”
Pei Rong: “...”
Oh well, forcing the pregnant beauty to act, and giving birth to an award-winning son, was President Lu’s blessing.
