Chapter 1462 Her Heart Is Like Mine
"I do," Harry said obediently, "I miss you too."
"So good."
…
Lu Bai and Lu Xiaojiu went home, changed their clothes, and went to the market to buy vegetables. The half-day activity of remembering their youth was over. They went to the market to buy vegetables together. For Lu Bai, this was a relatively new activity.
Usually in New York, most daily necessities are purchased by dedicated people and delivered according to Lu Bai's taste. Even the ingredients are very fresh in the supermarket downstairs. There is no need for them to go to a supermarket far away. Lu Baiji If you show up less outside, you will be more relaxed when you return to City C. The two of them shopped sweetly, and Lu Bai specially picked out some things that Lu Xiaojiu liked to eat.
"Pregnant women are very picky eaters. Why are you not picky at all?"
"It means that my daughter is easy to feed and eats everything."
"That won't work. Girls still have to choose a little more. It's better to be more expensive."
"Why?"
"Not easily chased away."
"..." The child has not been born, and I don't know whether it is a boy or a girl. Is it too early for you to think about this?
"Does what I said make sense?"
"Then I should have never bothered my mother."
Lu Bai touched her long hair gently, "This hair is a bit long."
Long hair down to waist.
"Yes, my hair has grown much longer this month." Lu Xiaojiu didn't want to go to the barber shop, and her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, "You can cut my hair later."
"I won't."
"What are you afraid of? Just cut it shorter. It won't be cut across the board." Lu Xiaojiu said, "I have long hair, so I'm not afraid of it being damaged."
"If you're not afraid of a bad cut, I have no problem with it." Lu Bai even had a little expectation. Cutting her hair and drawing her eyebrows were all things he was very happy to do, and he wished he could grow old with her forever.
The two came back talking and laughing. Unexpectedly, they met Lu Tao at the door. Two guards and four bodyguards were standing at the door. Lu Bai was holding Xiaojiu and holding two A bag, just like a very ordinary couple living at home. When they met the national leader, Lu Bai's face turned cold instantly. When he saw the Lu family, he didn't have a good face.
Lu Tao looked at them with a smile, and his eyes fell on the hands they held together. Lu Bai and Lu Xiaojiu were brother and sister. Many people in the Lu family knew it well, but this was a secret that could not be revealed to others.
Lu Tao looked at them. The winter in country C was not cold. Lu Bai's simple vest, white coat, nine-point jeans, and a pair of black and white cloth shoes were just like the fashionable attire of young people nowadays. They were like a sharp sword. In the scabbard, Lu Xiaojiu next to him is his scabbard. The two people stand together, the picture is harmonious, and the years are quiet. If they are not brother and sister, they must be a very well-matched couple.
"Have you gone to the market? I've been waiting for more than an hour. Lu Bai, you're fine." Lu Tao greeted.
"Second uncle, are you okay?" Lu Xiaojiu asked, feeling calm at all. The Lu family's attitude towards her after her parents died, and as she grew stronger, those passions and blood ties had been almost exhausted.
The Lu family is not as good as a hair of Lu Bai's to her.
"You're not going to let your second uncle talk to you here, are you?" Lu Tao asked.
Lu Bai said calmly, "Come in."
This is Lu Bai's house. The master has spoken, and Lu Tao feels much calmer. He has long realized that Lu Bai is no longer a weak young man who can be manipulated by him. Back then, when they returned to the mountains, they could no longer end the situation and could only seek peace. , perhaps, there is still a glimmer of hope.
The decoration of the home is not gorgeous, but very warm. There is a relaxing fragrance of tulips everywhere. There is a small row of tulips planted in the garden. There is only one flower in bloom, but it is particularly beautiful.
"Second uncle, what are you doing here?" Lu Xiaojiu lowered his voice, "Don't mention Xiaobai's life experience. He doesn't like anyone to mention it. Besides, he doesn't want to have anything to do with you."
Lu Tao looked at her with a smile, "Xiaojiu, my second uncle has already entered the house. As the hostess, why don't you give me a cup of tea?"
Lu Xiaojiu took a deep breath and looked at him with complicated eyes. She still had some feelings for Lu Tao. Compared to the cold and hard Lu Pang, Lu Tao at least gave her a little care.
"Xiaojiu, no matter what has happened in the past, you are still the daughter of the Lu family. Even if you hate me and your uncle, what about your brothers? If they die one by one, each one becomes more miserable and expelled, what will you do? Did you see it?" Lu Tao asked.
Except for Lu Xiaojiu, the Lu family has no daughters. They are all men.
"Second uncle, you are too alarmist. Brothers are all in high positions now. As far as I know, the current Prime Minister is also one of your people. You cover the sky with one hand. Who can bring you down? If you don't have too much ambition and only focus on the royal family. There will be people who are willing to deal with you when doing things, and whoever doesn’t want their country to prosper and bring you down will severely damage the vitality of the Congress. Everyone understands this. "
"Xiaojiu, you are from the Lu family." Lu Tao said, his eyes steady and firm.
"My family has abandoned me a long time ago." Lu Xiaojiu stood up, "I'll make you tea."
Lu Bai changed into home clothes and came out, wearing a gray thin sweater and white trousers, dressed casually. He sat cross-legged opposite Lu Tao. Lu Bai could even guess what Lu Tao wanted to do. "Minister Lu, let's get straight to the point. What do you want?"
Lu Tao smiled and said, "Lu Bai, no matter who you are, calling me second uncle is not too much."
"I don't dare to take it. I can't reach it!" Lu Bai said lightly.
Lu Tao sighed, "Lu Bai, I can understand your resentment towards us..."
"Resent?" Lu Bai smiled, "You understand it wrong. I don't resent you. You are not worthy of my attention. The reason why I have not come back these years is because I keep my promise and will never set foot. I come back because Xiaojiu is more important than a promise. I want to fulfill her wish. It’s as simple as that. Your Lu family has never been in my consideration. "
The implication is, don't take yourself too seriously.
"Lu Bai, no matter what happened, we all owe you an apology for what happened back then." Lu Tao said, "Lao San made such a hasty decision back then that we had no time to stop him. When we couldn't deal with it anymore, we could only minimize the losses. , and I hope you can understand us. This matter is a grudge between your father and son. If we are wrong, even if it is our fault to expel you, there is nothing we can do at that time. "
"I accept your apology, but is there anything else?" Lu Bai asked.
Lu Tao suddenly didn't know how to proceed. Lu Bai's attitude was too cold. He couldn't act like an elder at all, and to be honest, he was too embarrassed to act like one. Xiaojiu came over with a pot of tea, just in time to disperse Lu Tao's embarrassment, "I remember that you never touched Yangchun water when you were a child, and now you can make tea in a decent way."
"It's easy to learn these things." Xiao Jiu said, glancing at Lu Bai, "Xiao Bai, try to see if the tea I brew is fragrant."
"It smells very good," Lu Bai said.
Lu Xiaojiu had a smile on his face and looked at Lu Bai affectionately.
Lu Tao looked at them and felt more and more strange in his heart. They are brothers and sisters. They are brothers and sisters. Now they are living together and falling in love. What's going on? Naturally, there was no way to say this to Lu Bai's face.
Lu Tao said, "Lu Bai, since you want to get straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush. You and Xiao Jiu are both from the Lu family. Even if you refuse to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, Xiao Jiu is still from the Lu family. It won’t change. I also hope that in future wars, even if you can’t support the Lu family, don’t turn your elbows away and help others. This is the purpose of my visit today.”
Lu Xiaojiu frowned. She knew Lu Bai's temper very well, and threats would only make things counterproductive.
"Minister Lu, I seem to have used the wrong word. Are you helping Lin Jingsheng by turning your elbows outward? Not to mention, Lin Jingsheng's temperament does not like to be tied to being the king of country C. Even if he wants to be the king, he is my brother. , and I have always supported each other and treated each other with sincerity. What about you? He is my family, you are not. Even if I marry Xiaojiu and have children, you are not my family." I don’t have the habit of trying to reach out to relatives, and besides, I really can’t afford to try to reach out to your family.”
Lu Xiaojiu, "..."
Lu Tao clenched his fists and his face turned ugly. After dealing with politicians for so many years, he had heard many unpleasant words and was relatively tolerant. He didn't have an attack, but he grasped an important point, "Lin Jingsheng is not willing to be the emperor." "
"Your Majesty, you are not a bad guy. We live well in New York. We don't need this hat. It's uncomfortable and restrictive on our head." Lu Bai said, "You are so ruthless that you killed all the descendants of the royal family. No. Are you just waiting for Lin Jingsheng to be promoted? I thought you really wanted Lin Jingsheng to be promoted."
Lu Tao said, "The death of the princes has nothing to do with us."
Lu Xiaojiu lowered his head and remained silent.
Lu Bai said, "I already understand what Minister Lu means."
Lu Tao said, "Okay, now that you understand, I don't need to say more. I just hope that you will think about it from the Lu family's perspective and think more about the family's interests. No matter where you are, our family will support you." , it’s always more convenient.”
"If I were not a director of Fenghuo Group today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be qualified to set foot on such a noble land." Lu Bai sneered.
It wasn't until this sentence that Lu Xiaojiu recognized a little bit of complaint and... difficulty in letting go.
Lu Tao said, "What happened in the past was that we made mistakes and were too biased. We are sorry for you."
Lu Bai didn't say anything, and his intention of expelling the guest was very obvious. Lu Tao stood up and said, "Xiaojiu, why don't you send me off to my second uncle?"
The two of them went out one after the other, both of them looking extremely restrained. Lu Tao said, "On New Year's Eve, take Lu Bai home with you to celebrate the festival. Your brothers will come back, and you haven't seen them for a long time."
"Second uncle, Xiaobai won't go." Lu Xiaojiu said that she didn't want to go either.
"In order to be with you, he paid no attention to human relations. What does this small request mean?" Lu Tao said, "No matter what, you are all members of the Lu family. When the Lu family is in trouble, do you have to stand by and watch?"
"The Lu family is doing well now, and they don't seem to be in trouble."
