Chapter 104: Grievance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing Ling Lin’s words, Pei Xin’s eyes started to form tears..
Lu Huai was also very satisfied with Ling Lin’s words.
He took out a toy from behind him and handed it to Ling Lin.
“Ling Lin, you’re awesome to think that way. Everything you said just now was right. Just because they isolated you doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. This matter is their fault. Don’t worry, Uncle Lu Huai will help you. And this toy is a reward for you for being so brave today.”
Ling Lin’s eyes lit up and he was about to take it happily, but he remembered Pei Xin had told him before that he couldn’t casually accept things from others.
“Mommy, can 1 have Uncle Lu Huai’s gift?” Ling Lin blinked his eyes and looked at Pei Xin expectantly.
Pei Xin looked at Lu Huai in surprise. “When did you buy this gift?”
Lu Huai smiled. “I bought a few gifts for Ling Lin from a while back. I thought that if Ling Lin did a good job, I would give him a gift as a reward. After you left Beijing, I didn’t have the chance to see him anymore, so they’ve just been sitting in the car.”
Pei Xin was very surprised, but at the same time, she felt happy.
It turned out that there were still people who cared about Ling Lin.
If it was any other time, she would not have let Ling Lin accept Lu Huai’s gift. After all, Lu Huai was also a member of the Lu family.
However, she and Lu Huai were now in a community of interests. Lu Huai was considered someone Ling Lin felt close to, so it was not a big deal for him to accept the gift.
“Just this once, you can take it.” Pei Xin smiled and nodded at Ling Lin.
Ling Lin took it happily, and the sadness in his heart was immediately washed away.
He happily played with the toys while Liu Yan helped him.
Ling Jin stared at Lu Huai with a complicated expression.
He had learned the whole story from Liu Yan. Lu Huai had played a huge role in finding Ling Lin.
Liu Yan could tell that they had something to say, so he took the initiative to bring Ling Lin to the courtyard to play.
Ling Jin looked at Lu Huai apologetically. “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before. It’s all thanks to you that Ling Lin was found today. I won’t treat you as an enemy anymore. If you need me to do anything, as long as 1 can do it, 1 will do my best to help.”
Lu Huai quickly waved his hand. “It’s okay. 1 quite like this child. He’s obedient and sensible. I’m not helping because I expect something from you.”
Lu Huai then looked at Pei Xin. “It seems like Chen Chen’s family did this on purpose. I asked Ling Lin just now. He and Chen Chen aren’t on bad terms, so it’s either Chen Chen’s family is targeting you, or someone behind the Chen family is directing it.”
“I think so too.” Pei Xin nodded.
“I’ll get someone to inform you of the results of the investigation tomorrow,” Lu Huai said. “I’ll make sure the mastermind gets what they deserve.”
“Thank you.” Pei Xin looked at Lu Huai gratefully.
This time, Ling Jin took the initiative to persuade Lu Huai to stay. “Stay for dinner. You saved Ling Lin, and we don’t have anything to repay you with. At least let me cook for you.”
Lu Huai smiled. “Sure. I did have plans to treat Pei Xin to a meal, but she kept rejecting me. Now, I have a chance to.”
Pei Xin was a little embarrassed by what he said.
Ling Jin happily went to the kitchen to cook.
Liu Yan saw that they had finished their discussion, so he brought Ling Lin back.
Pei Xin turned on the television and watched anime with Ling Lin.
Lu Huai was also sitting at the side.
When Ling Lin saw something good, he would share it with Pei Xin and Lu Huai, who were very interactive.
Ling Lin smiled happily.
From time to time, he would approach Lu Huai and look at him with sparkling eyes.
Ling Lin thought that it would be great if Lu Huai was his father. He would have such a cool father to accompany him every day.
In the future, if others laughed at him for not having a father, he could retaliate loudly and tell them that Lu Huai was his father.
However, Ling Lin would never tell Pei Xin what he was thinking. He knew that his mother was already struggling to make ends meet. He could not bring something like this up to a troubled mother.
Lu Huai and Liu Yan only left after Ling Lin fell asleep.
The next day, Liu Yan quickly found out what had happened and told Lu Huai the information he had obtained.
According to Liu Yan’s investigation, he found that Ling Lin’s teacher, Xu Ke, was Xu Lian’s cousin..
