Chapter 511
Lu Tingchuan didn't come home all night, and Chen Zhiyu didn't know. When she went back to her room to change in the morning, she found the bed empty.
She only glanced at it before changing her clothes and leaving the room.
Go downstairs
Uncle Zhao stepped forward.
"Good morning, young mistress."
Good morning, Uncle Zhao. What's for breakfast today?
"We have pork rib congee and yam congee. Which one would you like as your main dish?"
"Have you eaten any yams? If not, have some with me."
"My old bones and I have to get up early, so I use it very early."
Chen Zhiyu sat down, and the maid brought up breakfast.
After casually taking a couple of bites, I asked, "Where's Tingchuan?"
"She went out last night and hasn't come back."
After Uncle Zhao finished speaking, he kept observing her expression.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief after noticing that her expression remained unchanged.
"Pack all his belongings up to the guest room on the third floor. From now on, he is not allowed to enter my room."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhao realized he had breathed a sigh of relief too soon.
My heart jumped into my throat.
"Young Madam, isn't this...?"
"Don't worry, I know what I know"
Chen Zhiyu was determined to teach him a lesson this time, no matter what. Otherwise, this guy would always just joke around and let things slide whenever there was a problem.
After breakfast
He was about to leave but then stopped.
"You are not allowed to tell Uncle Zhao about this beforehand."
Uncle Zhao looked troubled, glanced at Chen Zhiyu hesitantly, and finally nodded in compromise.
He knew that Chen Zhiyu was in charge of the household, and that she had always been a person of principle. Thinking of this, he convinced himself.
Chen Zhiyu had barely left when Lu Xia arrived.
The two met at the main entrance.
Uncle Zhao was somewhat surprised when Lu Xia arrived, because he had not been notified that someone would be coming today.
"Have Chu Chu and Xin Xin gotten up yet?"
"Good morning, Miss. Miss Sun and Young Master Sun just woke up and are still upstairs drinking their milk."
"Then go up and tell them I'll bring two people to my place in a bit."
Seeing Lu Xia's demeanor, the housekeeper ordered tea and refreshments to be served and then went upstairs.
Chen Zhiyu received a call from the housekeeper
"Uncle Zhao, what's the matter?"
"The eldest young lady is here to take Miss Sun and Young Master Sun out."
"Okay, I'll do whatever she wants." Knowing Lu Xia's personality, if we didn't go along with her, she'd probably cause a huge scene. "Let me know immediately if anything happens."
"clear"
Lu Xia and the children left in a hurry.
Today, Lu Xia invited many children to the Ye family home to play with Chu Chu and Xin Xin, which could be considered a children's party.
She started making arrangements yesterday afternoon. The reason she didn't inform Chen Zhiyu and Lu Tingchuan was because she found out that the couple hadn't planned to announce the children's existence since they returned. She didn't know the specific reasons and didn't want to know, but she knew that these two children were the heirs of the Lu family, so they couldn't hide it and had to be made public. Later, she thought about it carefully and realized she couldn't openly go against her son, otherwise what if he wouldn't let her see her grandchildren? So she came up with this plan: if anyone asked, she would tell the truth, and the word would spread like wildfire.
Chu Chu and Xin Xin have recently taken to reading. Besides watching cartoons, they spend most of their time quietly reading in the children's study at home. A few days ago, the housekeeper noticed this and, after consulting with Chen Zhiyu, arranged for a guest room to be converted into a children's study. The books are all age-appropriate, but include picture books with engaging content. A projector was also installed to explain the stories to the children.
Lu Xia was unaware of this.
With a joyful expression, he led the children to the Ye family home.
Upon entering, colorful balloons and ribbons are displayed at the entrance.
Chu Chu and Xin Xin couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
Seeing this, Lu Xia gave each of them a balloon to hold.
There were already many children playing in the back garden; the lively sounds could be heard even before they arrived.
However, the two children didn't pay much attention to the source of the sound; instead, they focused on the balloons in their hands.
When they arrived at the backyard, the noisy commotion startled them so much that they burst into tears.
Butler Zhao gestured for the nanny who was specifically looking after the two to come forward.
The nanny took the two children and held them in her arms to comfort them.
Lu Xia was also startled.
"What, what happened?"
Uncle Zhao said, "Miss, Miss Sun and Young Master Sun prefer quiet. Perhaps the noise was too loud and startled them."
Ye Zhenxu was playing tag with the other children when he saw his grandmother bring them over. He was surprised to see them crying. He didn't really like Chu Chu and Xin Xin because he could never play with them when they came over.
It wasn't for any other reason than that the two of them were always playing together. He wanted to join in, to play with Chu Chu, but not with Xin Xin. The reason was that once, when the three of them were playing together, he wanted to play with the toy that Chu Chu was holding. Chu Chu was originally going to give it to him, but Xin Xin saw it. Perhaps it was the connection between twins, but before Xin Xin could say anything, Chu Chu gave the toy to Xin Xin. This caused Ye Zhenxu to lose the toy he had, so he held a grudge.
Actually, there were two toys, but Ye Zhenxu lost one, so there was only one toy left.
Zhao Yazhi, standing among the other wives, also saw it.
Upon learning that the Ye family had prepared lavish gifts for the two children, she was furious. She had tried to see the children several times but hadn't been able to, and now she had finally seen them in person.
She was practically a miniature version of that couple. They were already so loving that it made her envious, and now that the child looked just like them, the jealousy in her heart almost made her lose her composure.
