Chapter 250 - 250 Be Careful, Someone Might Steal her
250 Be Careful, Someone Might Steal her
Her words made Xie Yunjin gape in disbelief, “You are telling me that man’s your friend? You’re willing to accept such a person as your friend?”
Why was she able to accept everyone but not him?
Lu Jiao answered, “That’s right. He’s my friend. You need to be nice to him.”
Xie Yunjin appeared to have been hit in the face. Lu Jiao ignored him and turned to leave. After she took two steps, she saw the four little ones at the door, watching them in shock.
The four little ones saw Lu Jiao and their eyes turned red. They managed to mumble out, “Mommy, you had a fight?”
Xie Yunjin heard the noise and looked over just in time to see the four little ones cry softly.
At once, neither of the adults knew what to say. They exchanged glances. In the end, it was Xie Yunjin who spoke first, “We didn’t fight. We were discussing something and raised our voices.”
Lu Jiao played along, “That’s right. Because there was a disagreement, we talked a little loudly. We aren’t fighting.”
The four little ones stepped inside hesitantly and studied them.
“Really?”
The four little ones were highly skeptical and didn’t believe them.
Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin squatted down to comfort them together.
“It’s true. We weren’t fighting.”
They then looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing that, the four little ones calmed down a little.
The First Born grabbed Xie Yunjin’s hand, “Daddy, don’t fight with mommy. As a boy, you should be nice to the girl.”
Mommy’s taught them before that boys should treat girls nicely. Their daddy should do the same.
The Second Born jumped in, “Daddy, look at you. You don’t know how to talk and never coax mommy. And today, you even fight with her?”
It was no wonder his mommy didn’t want to stay. He wouldn’t even want to stay.
The Third Born stared at Xie Yunjin, “Mommy is so good-looking. You need to be careful. Others might steal her.”
The Third Born’s statement startled Xie Yunjin. He looked at Lu Jiao. Was it true that talking nicely would work?
The Fourth Born wrapped his arms around Lu Jiao’s neck and said to Xie Yunjin, “If you make mommy angry enough to leave, I am going to leave with her.”
Xie Yunjin was speechless. It sure didn’t take long for his sons to all take Lu Jiao’s side.
Xie Yunjin’s heart was sour but he still squeezed a smile, “We won’t fight anymore.”
The First Born suggested, “Then, you should apologize. Mommy said if you realize you did something wrong and you change your behavior, you would still be considered a good kid.”
Xie Yunjin was smart this time and instantly said, “Sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have talked to you so loudly.”
What else could Lu Jiao say? The children were staring. She returned a smile, “It’s okay. As long as it doesn’t happen again.”
Seeing that the adults were now harmonious and even apologized, the four little ones decided to let it go.
They started to giggle, “You did the right thing. Let’s go eat.”
The four little ones pulled onto the two big ones and headed to the dining room.
Outside the door, aunty Qiu smiled in satisfaction. Beside her, Feng Zhi stuck out her thumb to praise aunty Qiu’s intelligence.
The four little ones were brought over here by aunty Qiu. Children were a great tool to resolve adults’ fights.
As the family ate dinner, Xie Yunjin talked about tomorrow’s gathering.
“Since you want to change up the front courtyard, I think it’d be best to do the gathering tomorrow. That way, you can start construction.”
Lu Jiao nodded, “Sure. How many people did you invite?”
“Five to six classmates. I didn’t invite those who lived far away. I originally wanted to invite the dean and professor but decided against it.”
Xie Yunjin was born introverted and aloof. Even when he studied, he didn’t like to socialize too much. His only close and true friend was classmate Han.
He was better friends with the other students who had similar backgrounds as him. The others, he didn’t really care about.
Of course, tomorrow’s gathering was when he planned to find out just who was plotting against him.
Lu Jiao nodded again, “Okay, I will plan it out.”
Xie Yunjin then said there will be female guests and Lu Jiao needed to greet them.
Lu Jiao nonchalantly responded, “Don’t worry. I will treat our guests well.”
At the table, Lu Gui heard that Lu Jiao was going to change up the front courtyard and asked, “Sister, the courtyard is so nice. Why are you changing it?”
Lu Jiao looked towards the four little ones, “I want to make the front courtyard a place where the children can play and study. When I’m done, there’ll be room to play and study. They’ll have everything they possibly need.”
The four little ones were thrilled, “Mommy, are you changing it for us?”
Lu Jiao nodded, “That’s right. Then, you will have to focus on learning, okay?”
As for reading, Lu Jiao wasn’t in a rush. They were only four and they had plenty of time to learn from Xie Yunjin once they move to the Capital City.
The four little ones couldn’t picture what Lu Jiao planned, but knowing that their mommy was doing this for them gave them the confidence that it was going to be amazing.
The First Born was the happiest one. He naturally liked to study.
At the table, Xie Yunjin could tell from what Lu Jiao described that she was going to make it look like what she had in her world. It sounded like her plan would suit the four little ones well. Therefore, he didn’t object and only asked caringly, “Everything sounds great. Do you want to hire someone to teach them?”
Lu Jiao thought about it. He was right, they needed someone. She was going to be busy with her own career later on.
She will be consulting patients every fifth day and she has three businesses to attend to. Basically, she will have lots to do and need someone.
“Yes, we’ll need to hire someone. But I need to think through carefully what kind of person I want.”
“Okay, just let me know.”
After dinner, Lu Jiao and Feng Zhi went to bathe the children and tuck them in.
Xie Yunjin and Lu Gui went to the front courtyard. It was time for him to calm down and start studying.
Back in the west bedroom in the back courtyard, the four little ones didn’t find it unusual that their dad was resting in the front courtyard. This was because Lu Jiao had warned them, “Don’t trouble your dad and ask him to come to the back courtyard. He has an exam next year and he must focus on studying. He also has to take the time to teach younger students. He’s a very busy man.”
The Fourth Born was quick to ask, “Then, can’t he just not teach those people?”
