Chapter 400 - 350: Became Someone Else’s Person (Part One)
Yi Luowa stood to the side with You, waiting for the car to stop. She personally opened the door for Jack, "Dad, you’re here."Jack smiled lovingly, "These past few days I’ve been free, so I came to see you."
Yi Luowa pulled at the somewhat reluctant You and said with a smile, "You, say hello!"
"Hello, Uncle!" You blinked her excessively large eyes at Jack and smiled, fulfilling the task Mi Chenxuan gave her. He said, she must be polite to this guest. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelhall.com
Jack was a little emotional and reached out wanting to touch his daughter, but halfway through, he retracted his hand in defeat.
"Good child! Hello!"
You pouted, muttering softly, "I’m not a child!"
Yi Luowa pinched her hand, and You pouted and looked at the demon’s wife—someone she couldn’t afford to offend.
"Dad, come in. Everyone is waiting for you!" Yi Luowa smiled and released You to help Jack into the house.
Jack patted Yi Luowa’s hand and whispered, "It’s not the right time yet."
Yi Luowa nodded, "I’ll listen to you."
Ni Lu saw them coming in together and joked, "They say daughters are close to their fathers, and you see these two so close that I’m jealous!"
"Your mom is just a kid! She gets jealous of everything." Jack laughed.
Yi Luowa wrinkled her nose, "When I’m close to her, she forgets all about it."
Tong Yao shook her head with a smile, "She’s been like this since the day I met her, always complaining! Jack, please have a seat."
"Hello, teacher!" Jack respectfully greeted Tong Yao before sitting down next to Ni Lu.
Ni Lu nudged him, "Move over a bit so our daughter can sit between us."
Jack glanced at You and shifted to the side.
Yi Luowa smiled and sat between Ni Lu and Jack.
Mi Chenxuan took a teacup from the servant and respectfully handed it to Jack, "Uncle, have some tea."
Jack smiled lovingly, very satisfied as he looked at him, "I heard you’re doing well at Shen Ying."
"Just so-so." Mi Chenxuan was unusually modest for once.
Yan Zi glanced at her son and turned her head with a pained expression. After raising him for so many years, he never poured her a glass of water, but as soon as his future father-in-law arrived, he started to please him!
You didn’t understand why Mi Chenxuan was so respectful to this uncle, but seeing how respectful he was, she knew she couldn’t offend him. After Mi Chenxuan sat down, she sat next to him quietly.
Mi Chenxuan pulled her hand and held it tightly, signaling to Jack his claim before acknowledging his daughter.
Jack looked at You and Mi Chenxuan’s tightly held hands and took a light sip of tea.
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat strange, and Tong Yao said with a smile, "We old folks will chat here; you youngsters go play!"
Mi Chenxuan stood up first, pulling You, and Xiaoyudian and Ai Ni also got up one after another.
Tong Yao gave Yi Luowa a meaningful look, and Yi Luowa understood, smiling as she pulled Ni Lu’s hand and said, "Mom, my dad and mom are probably talking about geology stuff that you don’t understand. How about I take you to see the flowers?"
"Sure!" Having her daughter accompany her, Ni Lu was naturally happy and left with Yi Luowa.
Mi Chenxuan chased after them, holding You’s hand, "Fourth sister-in-law, we’ll come along too."
Ni Lu and You left, and Xiaoyudian and Teng Ai Ni sat back down.
Jack sighed, "Teacher, I discussed with Ni Lu’s attending doctor before coming. He said that Ni Lu’s condition has just stabilized, and she can’t endure any stress, so... I need to trouble you to take care of You for a while."
Tong Yao laughed, "There’s no trouble at all! You is safe with me, don’t worry!"
Jack shook his head painfully, "When I first saw You, I really wanted to acknowledge her right away."
Lady Jing Ya comforted, "Jack, she’s your daughter, acknowledging her a day earlier or later doesn’t matter. What’s important is Ni Lu—her health is the priority."
"Yes, I think so too. Besides, I see You as a pretty simple child. Telling her abruptly that she has another set of parents might be too much for her to handle."
"Don’t worry about You." Tong Yao smiled, "This child listens to Xuanxuan, so let Xuanxuan talk to her gradually."
Jack nodded and looked at Yan Zi, "Yan Zi, You Jia and Monica have told me that You has lacked the warmth of a family and hasn’t received a good education over the years. Naturally, she has some bad habits. Compared to Xuanxuan, she’s way behind, but the two kids are already close. At this point, as elders, there’s nothing we can do about it. But rest assured, I’ll find the best teachers for her to catch up quickly."
Yan Zi rubbed her forehead, "I’ve learned my lesson with Shuoshuo, so I won’t interfere with the marriages of these two brothers in the future. Rest assured, I won’t make things difficult for You. For the sake of you and Ni Lu, I’ll treat her well. You don’t need to find a teacher; I’ll find one for her."
Jack looked at Yan Zi gratefully, "Thank you!"
"Oh... what are you thanking me for! Ni Lu and I have played together since we were kids. Now that she’s so ill, I’ll help as much as I can. Besides, as you’ve seen, Xuanxuan and You get along well, so she’ll eventually be part of our family."
Jack rubbed his forehead. The daughter hadn’t even been recognized yet, and she was already considered part of someone else’s family. How could he not have a headache?
Jack stayed there for two days, and his eyes hardly ever left You.
You felt creeped out by his gaze and secretly told Mi Chenxuan about it.
Mi Chenxuan laughed, "You look so much like Aunt Ni Lu, naturally Uncle would take a few more glances at you, don’t overthink it."
You pouted, asking softly, "When is he leaving?"
Mi Chenxuan was taken aback, "What do you want to do?"
"Although he’s a bit strange, he’s especially kind to me. Sometimes, I feel he treats me better than your fourth sister-in-law. I want him to stay a few more days."
Mi Chenxuan laughed, the bond of blood indeed is peculiar. You didn’t know anything, but she already wanted to get close to Jack.
"Uncle is very busy; he’ll be leaving tomorrow. We should also head back soon; we can’t keep staying at the uncle’s place."
After hearing Mi Chenxuan’s words, You felt a bit disappointed. However, she still preferred staying at the Viscount’s residence, as that home had several demons.
The next day, Jack left with Ni Lu, You Jia, Teng Ai Ni, and Teng Tianxiang back to S country.
This departure brought several people to tears.
Ni Lu held Yi Luowa’s hand and cried. In the end, it was only after Yi Luowa promised to visit her after graduation that she calmed down a bit.
Tong Yao wasn’t as dramatic in her crying, but once Teng Ai Ni left, she fell ill.
This caused Xiaoyudian to stay an extra three to four days before going back.
After Xiaoyudian left, Tong Yao got sick again.
Fortunately, Yi Luowa had completely left school, and together with Connie, they took care of Tong Yao, who gradually recovered.
"Getting old, can’t handle such strain," Tong Yao sighed as she sat in the rocking chair on the balcony.
Yi Luowa peeled an orange and handed it to her, "Mom, how about I visit Aunt Ni Lu in a few days, and you come with me to relax and also see Ai Ni?"
Tong Yao shook her head, "No, after seeing them, I’d have to come back, and if I fall sick again, you and Connie will have to work hard. Connie occasionally gets some air, but you’re tied to me every day. I feel suffocated for you."
Yi Luowa laughed, "I don’t feel suffocated. I’m a person who can be both calm and active."
"That’s true; seeing the two things you play with, I can tell your personality. Playing with cars is thrilling, but chess requires patience in solitude. You’ve mastered these two extremes so well; I’m truly impressed." Tong Yao smiled, placing an orange segment into Yi Luowa’s mouth, "Any news from your aunt recently?"
With an orange in her mouth, Yi Luowa mumbled, "Aunt was scolding people yesterday."
Tong Yao laughed, "Was she scolding Youyou or Xuanxuan?"
Yi Luowa swallowed the orange and smiled, "She scolded both and even threw in a word about your son."
Tong Yao frowned unhappily, "Rui’er didn’t provoke her, why scold Rui’er?"
"If my aunt’s unhappy, she doesn’t care if you’ve offended her or not! The most innocent is my third brother, who has been staying with us to prevent Joyina and Youyou from fighting, yet my aunt scolded him too."
Tong Yao frowned, "I didn’t want her to move back, but she insisted, and now she can’t control Youyou, so she vents her frustration by scolding others. Luowa, give me your phone so I can deal with her for daring to scold my son!"
"Mom, don’t actually get into a fight with Aunt! It’s my fault for gossiping; I won’t tell you these things anymore." Yi Luowa held onto her phone, not daring to hand it to Tong Yao.
Tong Yao laughed, "Look at you, all scared. I won’t argue with her. I’ll call her and ask them to move back. Youyou only behaves when she’s with us."
Yi Luowa handed her phone to Tong Yao. Before Tong Yao could dial, the butler knocked and entered, "Madam, the Northern Prince is here for a visit. Prince Charles and the old lady are accompanying him. Would you like to go down and meet him?"
