Chapter 1530: You Are Not Welcome
Mrs. Lu realized that the boy must be Jiang Yao’s younger brother. They must have shared the same biological mother.
Jiang Yao had been certain that the woman who had tried to acknowledge her was an imposter. That meant she must have already known who her biological mother was.
Mrs. Lu looked at First Auntie Li, who was still standing there. “There are guests at my house, so I can’t entertain you for now. Take care, Sister-in-law.”
Then, Mrs. Lu walked into the house. First, she went back to the kitchen to wash her hands, and then she prepared a plate of fruits.
“Xiao Nian, come sit here with me and eat some fruit.” Mrs. Lu liked Cheng Jinnian, not to mention that the child had a face that was as likable as Jiang Yao’s. She appreciated his quick wit.
Cheng Jinnian noticed that Jiang Yao was ignoring him and heard Mrs. Lu calling him, so he was prepared to take a roundabout approach. He walked toward Mrs. Lu and sat down beside her. He took the fruit that Mrs. Lu passed to him with both hands and thanked her. He ate it in small bites. Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled at Mrs. Lu. “May I stay at your house? I want to spend some time with my sister.”
“No!”
Jiang Yao spoke before Mrs. Lu could answer him. “You’re not welcome here. Go back quickly!”
Cheng Jinnian’s small face wrinkled like an old man. He looked at Mrs. Lu pitifully. “Auntie, may I stay? May I stay? Auntie, don’t worry. I’m very obedient. I’ll wash my clothes, brush my teeth, and bathe myself. I’m very obedient. I won’t disturb you or make any noise. If there’s no room, I can sleep on the sofa!”
Mrs. Lu knew that Jiang Yao did not welcome the little boy. She thought for a moment and then looked at Lu Xingzhi. Seeing that her son did not oppose the idea, she nodded and said, “Stay. We have room!”
“She is lying to you.” Jiang Yao stomped her feet and walked forward. “Do you think we believe that a person like you can wash clothes?”
“It’s okay. I can wash his clothes.” Mrs. Lu waved her hand. “That is nothing.”
“I object!” Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi. “Tell me you agree with me.”
Lu Xingzhi smiled lightly. “I’ll listen to my wife.”
Mrs. Lu cursed in her heart. How could she have given birth to that little fox? If he really objected, how could he not say anything else?
Mrs. Lu stood up. “Objection denied. I’m an elder, so I have the final say! Xiao Nian, I will take your luggage to your room.”
Lu Xingzhi noticed that the luggage was not light, so he took it before Mrs. Lu did. “Let me do it.”
He carried Cheng Jinnian’s luggage, which was taller than Cheng Jinnian, upstairs with ease.
The Cheng family was different from the Lu family. Madam Cheng’s love for Jiang Yao came from her heart. That was why Master Cheng was also protective of Jiang Yao. Cheng Jinyan’s character was not bad either. Lu Xingzhi would not object to Jiang Yao’s relationship with the Cheng family.
Therefore, he did not object to Cheng Jinnian’s attempt to get close to Jiang Yao. He would never object to more people loving and caring for Jiang Yao.
It was not necessarily bad for her to have more love and care from her blood relatives.
Jiang Yao snorted. “Don’t bother me!” Then, she followed Lu Xingzhi upstairs.
