Chapter 437 - 421: Outcome
The wedding of Gu Meng had ended, and Shitou and Lu Yun naturally couldn’t linger just for the sake of Chen Qiuyu’s situation even if they wanted to; they simply didn’t have the time to waste. After all, Shitou had already arranged for people to secretly follow up on the aftermath. It didn’t make much difference where they watched the excitement from.
So amidst the Gu family’s reluctance to part, the couple took Pei Yi and their personal guards and headed back the same way they had come, with Lu Aiguo and three others joining them on the journey.
However, this time everyone boarded a private plane belonging to Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan.
As soon as they got on the plane, Pei Yi was too restless to sit still and immediately wanted to make his way to the cockpit. He didn’t bother seeking out Shitou or Lu Yun, but instead clung to Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan, pleading, "Grandpa, Grandma, I promise I won’t cause trouble or disturb the pilot uncle while he’s flying the plane. I just want to watch from the side."
"I’ll go with him and make sure to keep an eye on him. Letting him experience what it’s like to travel through the clouds has its benefits too." Lu Jinsheng genuinely adored his little nephew and, fearing Shitou and Lu Yun would object, immediately sided with Pei Yi, speaking up on his behalf.
Seeing Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan also look towards them, Shitou and Lu Yun were somewhat speechless. Lu Yun held her forehead, "We didn’t say he couldn’t go. Why does everyone start by assuming we’re wearing some sort of hat that seems to indicate we’re mistreating him?"
"Isn’t it because you discipline the child too strictly? He’s only a few years old. Can’t you take it easy and go slow? Hoping for your child to succeed isn’t done in such a way." Xia Yuan chastised Lu Yun as she watched Pei Yi follow Lu Jinsheng out, beaming with delight.
"That’s so unfair. You don’t know how cunning he can be. He’s just putting on a pitiful act on purpose because he knows you will defend him unconditionally. If he dared to do this at home, he would have already eaten a serving of bamboo shoots and meat by now."
