Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Best in the World

"Dad, Mom, what’s making you so happy?" Wu Yuxuan came back, dragging his weary body, and saw his parents’ excited faces, couldn’t help but ask.

Since his sister’s accident, the house hadn’t had this kind of atmosphere for a long time.

"Xiao Xuan! Your sister just called and invited us to have a family dinner tomorrow!" Mrs. Wu excitedly shared the news with her son.

"Really? Mom, are you kidding me? Is Wu Yingying finally willing to come out and meet people?" Wu Yuxuan was incredulous and asked again.

"It’s true, it’s true." Mrs. Wu grasped her son’s hand and nodded heavily.

"Should we invite Zhenzhen?" Wu Yuxuan looked at his mother and asked.

"Let’s not, for now! Let’s just have a family gathering first." Wu Jianlin shook his head in refusal, afraid he might make a fool of himself then and didn’t want his future daughter-in-law to see him lose face.

"Alright." Wu Yuxuan nodded.

For the first time in years, the Wu Family had such a carefree meal, discussing what to do when they met Wu Yingying and Wu Linlin the next day and whether they should bring toys for Wu Linlin, talking enthusiastically.

Fu Xiaoxiao, holding Lu Lin and Lu Chen, came home, and Lu Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"Mom, doesn’t Little Linlin have a dad?"

Fu Xiaoxiao paused and turned to Lu Chen. "Her dad is a bad person. He wanted to cheat Aunt Wu’s money, intentionally got close to her. Little Linlin gets teased by others because she doesn’t have a dad, so make sure you don’t mention her dad in the future; it would make Little Linlin sad, okay?"

Lu Lin and Lu Chen guessed it was like that.

"Mom, don’t worry! I’ll protect Little Linlin from now on." Lu Chen patted his chest; he and his brother had also experienced days of being ostracized, so they understood that feeling.

"Did something happen today?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Teacher Fang took me to the class, let me play with everyone; they were all curious, gathered around, always asking me questions. I saw Little Linlin sitting alone in the corner, and no one played with her, so I went to pull her along. As a result, I found out people really dislike her, when I brought her, they wouldn’t play with me anymore."

Lu Chen blinked, telling Fu Xiaoxiao about today’s events.

At kindergarten, Lu Chen found none of the children played with Wu Linlin; she could only, pitifully, sit in the corner watching others play, looking so miserable. So Lu Chen took the initiative to play with Wu Linlin, resulting in her clinging to him all day.

At first, he thought she was a bit too clingy. After hearing about Wu Linlin’s background, Lu Chen understood why she clung to him, afraid he would leave.

"I asked them, and they just said Little Linlin was bad; their families told them not to play with her and told me not to play with her either." Lu Chen thought this was wrong, so he continued to play with Wu Linlin.

"Aren’t you afraid?" Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed Lu Chen’s head and asked with a smile.

"I’m not afraid! I have a brother, and I have mom and dad; I can play by myself." Lu Chen wasn’t afraid at all; he didn’t like them anyway, if they didn’t play with him, he’d play by himself.

Fu Xiaoxiao knew Lu Chen’s past experiences gave him a more delicate heart than other children.

"Our Xiao Chen is truly a little warrior! How amazing you are!" Fu Xiaoxiao hugged Lu Chen and kissed his cheek.

"Hehe!" Being praised by Fu Xiaoxiao and getting a kiss, Lu Chen’s face bloomed with a big smile.

"Xiao Lin, being the big brother, it really was tough for you in those years. If it weren’t for you being by Lu Chen’s side, he wouldn’t have grown so well." Fu Xiaoxiao released Lu Chen and hugged Lu Lin to give him a kiss too.

The more she understood, the more she felt sorry for Lu Lin. It was precisely because he was always the protector, looking after Lu Chen, that he could have such a strong heart.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s words brought tears to Lu Lin’s eyes. He shook his head. "I’m the brother; I should protect my younger brother."

"You’re the best brother in the world." Fu Xiaoxiao gently stroked his head.

"I have the two best sons in the world." Fu Xiaoxiao hugged them and said loudly.

"And you’re the best mom in the world." Lu Chen and Lu Lin hugged Fu Xiaoxiao tightly, their most beloved mom.

"So I’m not the best dad in the world?" Lu Feng came back and overheard the warm scene among the three, unwilling to be left out of the conversation, couldn’t help but say.

"... Do we need to say it?" Lu Chen looked at Lu Feng, pretending to be deep.

"Hmm?" Lu Feng looked at him.

"Look at you, it’s been so long since you played with my brother and me!" Lu Chen, with hands on his hips, looked like he was ready to demand justice.

"Alright, after dinner, I’ll take you out!" Lu Feng’s mouth curved into a deep smile. "I just think I’ve been giving you too many days off lately. Now you brought it up yourself, so starting tomorrow, get up in the morning for a run with me!"

"... Uh, best dad in the world, I just misspoke; can I get a do-over?" Lu Chen’s smile froze, oh no, he forgot about this.

"Best son in the world, too late." Lu Feng mercilessly informed him.

"Oh no!!!" Lu Chen held his head in agony, regretting his big mouth, why wasn’t he sweeter just now.

"... Not too smart." Lu Lin sighed, put on his backpack, and went inside to do his homework.

"Hahaha..." Fu Xiaoxiao watched Lu Chen and Lu Feng and couldn’t help but laugh.

Once inside, seeing the new backpack on the desk, Lu Lin’s eyes lit up, and he took the backpack outside. "Mom, what’s this?"

"These are the new backpacks I made for you. Do you like them?" Fu Xiaoxiao explained with a smile.

"What? Mom made us new backpacks?" Lu Chen, upon hearing this, immediately stopped his drama, rushed into the room.

Seeing his new backpack, he excitedly hugged Fu Xiaoxiao.

"Mom, how did you know I wanted a new backpack?"

"I have mind-reading powers, I know what you’re thinking, aren’t you scared?" Fu Xiaoxiao tapped his nose. Last time at the department store, they saw backpacks at the counter, sneaked several glances at them.

"Mom, this backpack is like a basket." Lu Lin looked at the new backpack, with two straps, inside was soft, wouldn’t cut into the shoulders.

Previous backpacks were a single pouch; when they were heavy, it cut into the shoulders. This one, like a basket, wasn’t tight on the shoulders and felt very comfortable.

"Hmm, I noticed you often have one shoulder slouching; is it because the backpack was too heavy?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

Lu Lin nodded.

"This is a new backpack design of mine; it makes carrying easier, no matter how much you put in, it won’t rub painfully on one side." Fu Xiaoxiao smiled. "I sewed your names on them."

"Thank you, Mom." Lu Lin tried it, and it was very comfortable indeed.

"See, I told you Mom’s the best mom!" Lu Chen ran around the yard with his backpack, overjoyed.

Lu Feng glanced with some grievance at Fu Xiaoxiao.

"... What’s the matter?" Sensing Lu Feng’s grievance, Fu Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

"Nothing." Lu Feng shook his head and turned to go back inside.

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned, was Comrade Lu Feng feeling jealous?
