Chapter 1279 She looks just like her daughter
Mrs. Lu was a little excited, but she quickly calmed down.
She needs to be prepared to be disappointed.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't; how could she possibly find her pearl so easily?
Such a small and adorable child, taking her home to rest until her parents come to pick her up is a good deed in itself.
Madam Lu smiled and extended her hand to Niannian: "Let's go in and have some tea together."
Niannian hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her little paw, a smile spreading across her face: "Okay!"
Grandma's hands are so warm.
Unlike her mother's, these hands bear the marks of time, making her little paws appear very small.
So this is what it feels like to have a grandma?
Grandma is so kind and gentle, just like Mom!
Niannian's heart stirred with a strange feeling, and she quietly curved the corners of her mouth into a smile, moving a little closer to Madam Lu.
In the courtyard of the Lu family's old house, there are still a few magnolias that Lu Mingzhu used to like, as well as some medicinal herb gardens that Lu Yimo and Lu Yibai have taken care of themselves. They haven't changed much from before.
Niannian looked over curiously. Was this the place where her mother used to live?
Hmm, let me sneak a picture! Hehe!
While the two adults weren't paying attention, I took some photos, maybe I can show them to Mommy later.
If Mommy didn't want to come back, maybe these photos would have prevented her from crying so much...
Mrs. Lu led Niannian inside, not forgetting to turn back and ask, "Baby, what would you like to drink? We have tea, milk, and juice."
Niannian: "Juice is fine, thank you Grandma!"
She smiled sweetly, her delicate, porcelain-like face radiating sunshine; just one glance at her was enough to lift your spirits.
Mrs. Lu seemed to see little Lu Mingzhu, just as adorable, looking at her so obediently and sensibly in this home that had been renovated many times.
Madam Lu's eyes welled up with tears, but the smile on her lips deepened.
She turned to the maid and said, "Give her a glass of apple juice."
This is Lu Mingzhu's favorite flavor.
Niannian's eyes lit up: "Grandma, how did you know I like apple juice!"
Mrs. Lu paused for a moment, then smiled broadly: "My daughter likes it too."
Niannian's big eyes darted around, and she immediately said, "Then she has great taste!"
One sentence made both Madam Lu and Lu Xinyue laugh. Seeing that Niannian was still a child, Lu Xinyue thought for a moment and then went to the kitchen first.
Soon, the juice arrived. While drinking it, Niannian secretly glanced at Mrs. Lu, who was drinking tea on the sofa.
Her little brows furrowed from time to time, and then relaxed again.
Nian Nian is very conflicted.
Grandma seems to be a good person...
Why won't Mommy come back?
Madam Lu's gaze fell on Niannian's familiar eyebrows and eyes, and her heart suddenly felt as if it had been stung by something.
She looked at it again and again, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Baby, what's your mother's name?"
Niannian quickly realized that she hadn't yet investigated her grandmother, and whether or not to acknowledge her depended on her mother's opinion.
Children should not make decisions for adults without permission.
Niannian blinked and said, "Mommy's name is July!"
Not hearing the answer she wanted, a hint of disappointment flashed in Madam Lu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hope.
Perhaps Lu Mingzhu really did go abroad back then?
They searched almost the entire country. If Lu Mingzhu really was alive, they should have found clues about her in the past five years.
Mrs. Lu: "What does your mother look like?"
Niannian was overjoyed and kept talking: "My mommy is a great beauty! She's super, super beautiful. When we were abroad, so many people pursued her, but unfortunately I didn't inherit her beauty!"
Mrs. Lu paused, the answer almost bursting from her mind. She instinctively grabbed Niannian's hand: "Did you come back with your mother? Who is your father? When did you come back?"
Niannian blinked her beautiful, grape-like eyes and said sweetly, "Mommy has always lived abroad. A while ago, Mommy was transferred here for work!"
Mrs. Lu: "Then your father..."
Niannian pointed to her little face: "I inherited it from my daddy! My daddy will be back to pick me up soon!"
That excuse for getting lost was exactly what she herself had given.
Lying is wrong, so you have to cover it up!
Niannian thought to herself, "She's such a good girl!"
Mrs. Lu's heart sank immediately.
The child's parents are both alive, and from what she said, her mother is a foreigner and her father is Chinese, which is why she has black hair and black eyes.
It seems... her mother is not a gem.
Mingzhu's accident was because of her first love. Given Mingzhu's personality, she will definitely insist on finding that boyfriend and will not date again.
This little one looks like someone who grew up surrounded by love, and his father is still alive. Maybe she's wrong...
This child just happens to resemble Mingzhu in some ways.
Madam Lu's hand, which held the teacup, trembled slightly, and she didn't even notice the warm tea splashing onto the back of her hand.
A faint bitterness rose in her throat, which she couldn't suppress even by drinking tea.
For the past five years, whenever she heard even the slightest news about Mingzhu, she would rush over like a madwoman, only to be disappointed each time.
Even the gatekeeper's claim that he had seen Mingzhu last time was true.
Is he just someone pretending to be a genius?
Perhaps, it really was her obsession...
Over the years, so many people have subtly told her that Mingzhu is long gone, but she has stubbornly refused to move on.
"And your parents..." Mrs. Lu put down her teacup, her voice as soft as a sigh, "Are they good to you?"
Niannian: "Hmm... Daddy's just so-so!"
You can't blame her, she doesn't even know which daddy her grandma is asking about!
Niannian then chuckled and said, "My mommy is so good to me! Mommy says I'm the cutest little baby in the whole world!"
Seeing her smile, the gloom in Madam Lu's heart gradually dissipated.
Such a lovely child, I wish she were really her granddaughter.
Just then, Lu Xinyue came over with a plate of freshly baked almond cookies: "Little friend, I saw you in the kitchen just now. What were you doing, secretly staring at my aunt? Did she have flowers growing on her face?"
Niannian looked up and saw Lu Xinyue, grinned, and blinked her big eyes: "No! Auntie, let me help you carry it!"
She climbed off the sofa and walked towards Lu Xinyue.
Lu Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "Sit still, this is freshly baked and very hot. Blow on it to cool it down before you try it!"
Nian Nian happily exclaimed, "Okay!"
She stood on tiptoe to pick it up, and it was so hot!
She took two quick bites and then took a big bite!
good to eat!
With her cheeks puffed out, Nian Nian chewed and mumbled, "Super! Delicious!"
Lu Xinyue smiled: "Then eat more!"
Lu Xinyue was about to place the almond cookies on the table where Niannian was sitting when she suddenly slipped on the wet floor, which had just been mopped. "Ah!"
