Chapter 1407: Chapter 1434: Accumulated Disappointment 2

Jiang Tian sat quietly in the corner like an invisible person, feeling utterly lost and confused, her head bowed.

You can’t blame her for being so timid; she’s been like this since childhood. In unfamiliar places, in front of unfamiliar people, she simply can’t open up.

Particularly timid and sensitive, always cautious, and it’s not like she’s stupid—how could she not sense that in the Lu Family and Shi Family, besides Liu Qian and Lu Chen, no one really likes her.

In an environment where she can’t fit in no matter what, who could remain calm and composed without feeling anxious?

"Ah."

Shi Yue suddenly let out a cry, and everyone turned to look at her.

She immediately complained, "My little brother bit me."

Yes, Lu Zhou already has baby teeth now, soft and white, and he was biting Shi Yue’s wrist.

Children don’t have much strength; it was just a light touch, but she acted as if it hurt terribly.

Jiang Tian couldn’t help but speak up in defense, "Zhouzhou is very well-behaved; maybe you were holding him uncomfortably."

Shi Yue felt even more wronged, "Are you blaming me?"

Mr. Lu coughed and looked at Jiang Tian, "How are you raising the child? When I raised Xingshen, he was never this unruly at six months."

"Ma... Ma..."

Lu Zhou stretched out his little arms toward Jiang Tian, trying desperately to reach her, his chubby face turning red with effort.

Jiang Tian immediately took Lu Zhou from Shi Yue’s arms. Lu Zhou was especially pleased, lifting his head to give Jiang Tian a kiss on the lips, smiling foolishly.

Children don’t understand the complexities of adults, so pure and innocent.

Just then, Lu Xingshen arrived late, "Grandfather."

"Xingshen is here." Mr. Lu was very fond of his only grandson, his eyes crinkling with delight.

Lu Xingshen greeted each member of the Shi family, but Shi Yue unusually did not approach him and instead lowered her head, looking guilty.

She had been sent abroad by Lu Xingshen for half a year, but the family was still unaware of this. She had just returned from her confinement and didn’t know how to face her uncle.

Jiang Tian stood up holding Lu Zhou, her eyes bright yet restrained, looking at him,

"Mr. Lu..."

Lu Xingshen responded with a simple "mm," knowing he had to maintain appearances in front of family, he spoke in a deep voice,

"How have you raised Lu Zhou to be so clingy? He’s already six months old and still constantly seeks your affection?"

Jiang Tian, "???"

What else could she do? A six-month-old child, how could he possibly be self-reliant?

"Give me the child."

Lu Xingshen reached out his hand. With Mr. Lu watching, he couldn’t be indifferent to Lu Zhou, or the elderly might suspect something.

This was his first time actively asking to hold the child. Jiang Tian naturally couldn’t refuse and handed Lu Zhou to him, even showing him how to hold him.

Lu Xingshen frowned, "No need for instructions, I know how to hold him."

The night the child was born, he had held him.

After half a year, the little guy had grown quite a bit, sitting in the palm of his hand. While it felt strange to Lu Xingshen, he did not reject it.

He might not reject it, but Lu Zhou certainly did. As soon as he was in Lu Xingshen’s arms, he began to wail loudly, seemingly not liking him, his face full of displeasure.

Lu Xingshen’s ears ached from the noise, his face turning dark,

"You little brat, stay calm."

Just after he was born, he was a small, lovely red bundle; how did he become so troublesome now?

Lu Zhou burst into loud tears after Lu Xingshen shouted at him.

Jiang Tian couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Lu, try calming him down."

"How should I calm him?" Lu Xingshen asked, trying to maintain his patience.
