The kids had eaten hamburgers and fries. It was almost eight o'clock. Guo Lin was herding them like sheep, rushing them to take a bath and go to bed. After a night of tossing and turning, she even forgot to tell Lu Yu about Aunt Gui.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, An Zhiyuan went over to enjoy some time with his wife. The two of them were in the living room on the first floor with the TV on as background music. An Zhiyuan picked out and told her what happened in the afternoon. Guo Lin continued to nibble on the leaves with a small fork while listening - she refused to touch fried food, and bought three salads in one go to feel full.
Mr. An is particular about the art of speaking. In order not to worry his wife, he briefly talked about the part where Zhuo Bao was teased by the old lady, and emphasized how An Jin protected her. But after hearing the details, Guo Lin was still so angry that she couldn't even eat her salad. She insisted on going upstairs to see Zhuo Bao, but An Zhiyuan persuaded her:
"The child is asleep. If you go up now, you will definitely wake him up." Seeing
Guo Lin's emotional excitement, An Zhiyuan didn't dare to mention the old house anymore, and changed the subject:
"By the way, what are you going to tell him about Lu Yu?"
An Zhiyuan didn't care about his nanny's private affairs at all, but he couldn't stand the fact that the matter was too big. Today, almost the entire Internet is scolding him. When Mr. An's business partners, relatives and friends called to wish him a happy new year, several of them couldn't help asking him, an insider, about the recent situation.
Hearing that Aunt Gui was suspected of being a human trafficker, An Zhiyuan was shocked and scared. Now he must fire her, but what about Lu Yu?
"I'm a little confused too," Guo Lin said. "It's just a suspicion now, but it's not certain. What if it turns out to be a mistake? Should we still tell the child?"
An Zhiyuan: "It doesn't seem fake. I read the report and forwarded it to a lawyer friend. He said that based on experience, it's more likely that Aunt Gui is a human trafficker, but she doesn't look like a repeat offender. ... Tell the child. No matter what, he has the right to know."
Guo Lin sighed: "If it's true, Lu Yu is too pitiful. What will he do in the future?"
An Zhiyuan: "Look for his biological parents. If they can't be found, he may have to be sent to an orphanage."
After thinking for a while, he added: "It's probably not easy to find. It's not a newly lost baby. He's almost seven years old. Maybe his family has given up long ago. It's more likely that he will go to an orphanage."
Orphanage? These three words remind people of crowded bunk beds, big pot meals, and little faces that are sunburned. Thinking that Lu Yu would be sent to that kind of place, Ms. Guo Lin felt distressed.
Even cats and dogs, after getting along for a long time, will have feelings, not to mention such a sensible child. Guo Lin was a soft-hearted person. She hinted wildly, "That kid is really good. He takes care of our Zhuobao everywhere. Zhuobao is like a little tail, always following him. If Lu Yu suddenly leaves, Zhuobao will definitely make a fuss. Take now for example, the two children must sleep in the same bed every day, just like one person. With Lu Yu, I don't have to tell Zhuobao bedtime stories anymore. Zhuobao has become much more obedient."
An Zhiyuan was willing to follow his wife's lead, "Yes, Lu Yu is more competent than An Jin, the biological brother. If he can't find his biological parents for a while, before that, shall we adopt him first? It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks anyway."
