Chapter 115: From Now On, We're One Family

Lu Xiwán didn't find it strange, and even teased him out loud.

"Senior Brother, finally you understand?"

She stood up, ladled a bowl of rice for Zhong Yun, and smiled brightly while watching him, still fuming and too proud to make peace.

Zhong Yun shot Lu Xiwán a displeased glance, openly despising her with his eyes.

But his tone softened considerably, "You at least remember Master's teachings clearly."

"So, how do you plan to help this child?"

Zhong Yun's gaze fell on Yao Yao, with a hint of hesitation.

When facing this child, he unusually felt powerless.

"I haven't decided yet; from what I know, Yao Yao mainly lacks companionship from family."

The influence Fu Sijue brought can be set aside for now.

Just what Gu Qingmeng did has already had a huge impact on Yao Yao.

She can only do her best to make up for the damage Gu Qingmeng caused.

Lu Xixi, beside them, rested her head on her hands, listening intently to their conversation, and suddenly raised her arm, which looked like a lotus‑root segment.

"Mommy can take Yao Yao's brother to the amusement park!"

"There are many fun places inside, and many kids about our age as well."

"Yao Yao's brother would definitely love it there!"

Lu Xiwán glanced at Lu Xixi, who seemed to be giving a serious suggestion, and reached out to press down her arm.

"Is it Yao Yao's brother who wants to go, or is it you?"

"It's precisely because there are too many people; it wouldn't be good if it makes him too nervous."

Lu Xixi's idea was exposed, she pouted, her big round eyes rolled twice, and she leapt off the chair and ran out.

Once the desire to go out and play arises, it cannot be easily dispelled.

Seeing that this idea wouldn't work with Lu Xiwán, Lu Xixi went straight to Yao Yao.

"Yao Yao's brother, why are you alone outside?"

Lu Xixi thoughtfully fastened a sun hat onto Yao Yao's head and sat with him on the swing.

Yao Yao stared at the flowerbed, taking a long while before answering Xi Xi's question.

"Because that uncle doesn't want Mom to stay here to treat my illness."

Moreover, he's a good friend of Mom, and Yao Yao feels sad just thinking of it.

Xi Xi, feeling righteous, jumped down from the swing, hands on hips, smiling brightly at Yao Yao, "Uncle Zhong Yun just now promised Mom that the two of them will come together to treat your illness."

"You'll never have to worry about Mom leaving again!"

Yao Yao's stern expression finally softened a bit, though his brows remained tightly knit.

"Yao Yao's brother, do you want to go to the amusement park?" As soon as Xi Xi mentioned it, her eyes began to sparkle.

Yao Yao, without a second thought, simply said "No".

This left Xi Xi very disappointed.

Xi Xi wasn't the type to give up easily; she sat beside Yao Yao, trying various ways to persuade him.

"But the amusement park is really fun..."

"And Mom said that if you're at the amusement park, your illness will heal faster!"

It sounds like a very tempting condition.

Unfortunately, the one you're dealing with is Yao Yao.

"Then I'd want to go even less; if my illness gets better, Mom will have to leave me."

"I'll never see you again!" Yao Yao's complexion visibly paled.

In the sunlight, there was a pallor so extreme it seemed almost transparent.
