Chapter 866: The Past is Like Smoke (2)
"But you saved me time and time again, and you raised me. This is a blessing to me. I have always regarded you as my only relative." Li Hong roared, "You just abandoned me like this. What do you regard me as? A kitten or a puppy you raised?"
"I've always treated you as my dad!" Li Hong was so angry that his last roar made Butler Lu's eyes red.
He raised him as his own son.
"Why don't you just let me go see your mother? What if she's waiting for me downstairs?" Butler Lu sighed heavily and softened.
Seeing that Steward Lu had given in, Li Hong's anger finally dissipated and he snorted. "You expect her to wait for you? Humph, she married the old emperor, but the old emperor died before you."
Butler Lu: “…” This sentence is a bit heartbreaking.
"Aren't you angry that I'm their pawn?" Butler Lu looked at Li Hong and asked.
"...Angry." What can he do if he is angry? He can't hit him.
"But you're doing this for my own good, I know." Li Hong looked at Butler Lu. "Don't think I don't remember, you asked me to call you dad when I was sick!"
Butler Lu was stunned, the scene at that time emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Although I'm married, I don't have a child yet. You have to take care of the child for me." Li Hong turned his head away and didn't look at the housekeeper. "Okay, go down and get busy!"
"Okay." Steward Lu looked at Li Hong deeply, lowered his eyes and walked away.
After Butler Lu left, Si Jing walked up to Li Hong, who hugged her and choked up, "That old guy tricked me into calling him dad, and he actually wanted to abandon me."
"You didn't tell me about this before?" Si Jing patted Li Hong slowly and asked with a chuckle.
Li Hong was silent. "It's too embarrassing. I don't want to talk about it."
He just remembered this passage.
He was too young at the time, with a high fever and was in a daze. Manager Lu fed him some medicine, and he made a fuss and asked him to coax him, so he held him in his arms, humming the lullaby his mother had sung to him, and asked him questions.
"Are you my father?"
"Yes, call dad and let me hear it."
"father."
"Eh."
"father."
"……Eh."
"father……"
He didn't think much about it at the time. He was just very happy that Butler Lu was his father, so he shouted for a long time. But later he fell asleep and forgot about it after waking up.
Although he had forgotten this memory, their relationship had never been the same since then.
Si Jing laughed, the relationship between Li Hong and Steward Lu was not that simple, they were not only monarch and subject, father and son, but also friends and comrades who experienced life and death together. They experienced things together, shared happiness and hardships together.
"You should help me scold him, or beat him up." Li Hong said sullenly.
"Are you sure?" Si Jing looked at Li Hong with amusement as he buried his hand in her neck.
"...Forget it." Li Hong was silent for a while, and finally gave up.
After Butler Lu came out of the study, he returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the broken jade, a slight smile on his lips, but crystal tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the broken jade.
"You little brat, you actually still remember it." Butler Lu smiled, but tears kept falling. He covered his eyes, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
He had never uttered a word despite all the pressure over the years, but Li Hong's words broke his defenses.
"Yu'er... wait a little longer, wait for me a little longer. I promised that brat that I would help him take care of the child." Steward Lu muttered to himself as he looked at the broken jade in his hand.
