Chapter 881: You Want Revenge
Finally, Lu Ke’en heaved a sigh of relief and thought that his wife’s thinking was not bad and did not think in any other direction. She only thought that her daughter was afraid of Lu Ke’en’s face.
Actually, it was about there. Lu Ke’en indeed had areas that were hard to deal with, especially when he pulled a cold face. He was like this his entire life, and there was no other way. The muscles on his face were all stiff, and it was not easy to make him smile.
“Smile for me.” Jian Qingying directly used her hands and pulled at Lu Ke’en’s face. “If you don’t smile, anyone will be afraid of you—let alone my daughter. That child is more sensitive so she’s probably afraid of you.”
“Come on, smile with me.” Jian Qingying took a deep breath in and spread her own lips, exposing eight straight hard teeth.
It was hard on Lu Ke’en to have his face pulled in all directions. His face was pretty long. What else could he do?
“Smile for me.” Jian Qingying directly pulled his skin until it was long. “Smile for me right now. If you don’t smile, I’ll bring my daughter to another picturesque place; and I’ll leave you here to die alone.”
This sentence was very scary.
Lu Ke’en could only pull his skin and smile. In the end, this pull made him put on a very ugly expression.
“Again.” Jian Qingying smiled again. “Follow me. Smile.”
Lu Ke’en smiled again, but it was still very ugly. Especially his twitching lip corner. Right now, his skin was pulled by Jian Qingying, and he was still trying hard to control the other half of his face. His face was very obedient, and his lips did curve up, but his skin smiled and not his muscles.
“Your smile is so ugly. That’s it.” Jian Qingying still wanted to attack him. “If I were her, I wouldn’t want to talk to you either. You should first practice on your face.”
Lu Ke’en sighed lightly. He did not expect that he still had to sell his smiles at such an old age; he was getting increasingly pitiful as he lived on.
At this point, they did not know that the main character they were talking about had just retracted her hand placed on the doorknob. Just now, she was almost frightened until she broke out in a cold sweat as she thought that her identity was going to be exposed. In the end, she did not expect to hear this instead.
What if she laughed when she saw Lu Ke’en’s tense face?
Also, she should not go in. If not, Mr. Lu would be embarrassed.
For a very long time after that—when Lu Ke’en saw Xia Ruoxin again, his facial expression would be very weird. It seemed like his face was twitching and the corner of his eyes and lips were jumping. Later, his brows would curve upwards, but it was still very weird.
“Dad, are you not feeling well? Should I call for a doctor?”
In the end, Xia Ruoxin really could not bear to see Lu Ke’en twitching his face every day.
He was uncomfortable, and so were others.
“Ah, I’m fine.” Once Lu Ke’en heard Xia Ruoxin call him ‘Dad’, he immediately had that feeling of getting something back after losing it. His heart ached, and he almost teared.
Actually, he really had to admit that he did see Xia Ruoxin as his own daughter. He really wanted to take her as his daughter so that she could stay by his side, and he could rely on her.
Back then, that very small child would also call him ‘Dad’. That soft and cute girl was his wife’s pain, but it was his as well. However, he was a man. At that time, his son was still young; and his wife would go crazy when she thought of her daughter. He could only force himself to forget about the child and raised his son while taking care of his unhealthy and slightly insane wife.
He had to admit that when Xia Ruoxin called him ‘Dad’, he really wanted to cry.
His daughter came back—she really did. He would just treat it as his daughter came back.
Xia Ruoxin felt that it was better if she did not say anything. Even though she did not interact much with Lu Ke’en, a person from the business world would prioritize their pride; and it was not easy to see their emotions on their face. Of course, they would not be willing to do so, and so she entered the kitchen and prepared food with Qin Xuejuan.
Xia Ruoxin also knew that Qin Xuejuan knew her identity. If it were an average person, perhaps they would be especially uneasy and anxious in front of someone who knew everything as they would be afraid of getting exposed. However, Xia Ruoxin was not precisely because she did not think too much and had no agenda, which made other people—no matter if they knew the truth or not—treat her as the missy of the Lu family.
She did not consider how long she could stay in this position. However, her thinking was simple.
To return a favor, she would repay her gratitude towards him and do her best.
Every day, she would help soak Jian Qingying’s feet; and her health did improve quite a bit. She slept well every night, and because of this, Lu Ke’en also slept better. This method of soaking one’s feet was not bad so he started to soak with his wife.
Xia Ruoxin did not think it was anything bad to help the elderly soak their feet. At first, Lu Ke’en was pretty embarrassed. After all, it was still okay if she massaged his shoulders, but massaging his leg was weird.
In the end, Jian Qingying smiled and said, “She’s your own daughter, and she’s being filial to you. Why are you so awkward?”
Afterward, he thought about it and agreed with her.
This was not any lady; this was his own daughter.
Afterward, the couple soaked their feet and was very intrigued by it. However, in the end, they did it on their own and spent more time with each other; they did not need Xia Ruoxin.
“Do you have anything you want to do?”
Lu Jinrong asked Xia Ruoxin who was combing Charlie’s hair. “Mom said she won’t let you stay at home all day. Even though there’s nothing we’re short of at home for you, she hopes that you can go out and walk. She doesn’t want you to trap yourself at home and spend time with this dumb dog.” As he said, he kicked Charlie. In the end, Charlie bit his pants, which caused him to be frightened until he broke out in a cold sweat and thought that this dog was really going to bite him.
“Woof… woof…” Charlie’s mouth let go and rolled around on the floor, making a mess of the fur that Xia Ruoxin had just combed for him.
Xia Ruoxin lightly patted Charlie’s head and let him play on his own. If not, Lu Jinrong would get angry and hold a grudge against a dog.
“I want to know what I can do.”
Xia Ruoxin stood up. Initially, her body was not well. Afterward, she was busy with Mr. and Mrs. Lu. Now that she was free, she thought she should go out. Besides, she would make those people who owe her pay for what they did.
“You want revenge?” Lu Jinrong already discovered the fire in her eyes that had never gone out. His lips curved up. He thought that she had forgotten all about it, but it turned out she did not. She had always remembered it. It was just that she hid it and was waiting for a chance.
