That's all the private detective managed to find out. Lu Chuanbai saved the email and told Gao Bo to arrange a meeting with Wu Daoquan for him tomorrow.
He wanted to see this abetting doctor with his own eyes and expose his deception.
Xu Qingqing picked up the two kids and brought them home. There was a sumptuous spread on the table: fried chicken, hamburgers, Coke and other favorites of the children.
The two kids were so excited when they saw the food on the table that they even forgot to take off their schoolbags. They happily rushed into the kitchen and hugged Grandpa Lu's legs.
"Grandpa! I didn't expect you to really come and make hamburgers for us!"
"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you for making hamburgers for us!"
The two kids cheered around Grandpa Lu. He beamed from ear to ear and gently pushed them out of the kitchen.
"Wait outside, Yiyi and An'an. Grandpa will finish frying the chicken steaks and then you can have dinner. Stay away in case the oil splashes on you."
"Okay!" The two kids happily walked out and went to take off their schoolbags.
Xu Qingqing praised Grandpa Lu's cooking skills with a smile. "Uncle Lu, the kids are really lucky to have a grandpa with such great cooking skills.
"I used to be worried about the kids eating fast - food from outside because I was afraid it wasn't clean. But with you around, I don't have to worry anymore."
Grandpa Lu was even happier after being praised by Xu Qingqing. The shrewd chairman of the Lu Group all his life smiled shyly in front of his daughter - in - law. "As long as you don't mind."
"Mind? How could I?" Xu Qingqing chuckled.
She was secretly happy that with Grandpa Lu helping to take care of the kids, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
The two kids took off their schoolbags and couldn't wait to run to the table. They chattered away, telling Grandpa Lu the interesting things that happened in kindergarten.
"Grandpa, today brother and I found a snail on the playground. It was this big!" Xu Anan said as she opened her palm to show the size of the snail.
"Qiu Tong was really scared of the snail. She thought it was disgusting. I was scared too, but I bravely stood in front of her to protect her."
Saying this, Xu Anan proudly puffed out her little chest, waiting for Grandpa Lu's praise.
Grandpa Lu pinched Xu Anan's little cheek and praised her as she expected. "An'an is so brave! You can even protect your little friend. You're amazing!
"Other little girls are afraid of bugs, but our An'an isn't. You're really something."
Xu Anan was very satisfied with the praise. Xu Yiyi also showed Grandpa Lu the picture he drew of the snail.
"Grandpa, look. This is the picture I drew of the snail. It looks just like this."
Grandpa Lu was taking the fried food out of the pot and putting it on a plate. He originally thought a kid couldn't draw anything special.
But when he saw the snail drawn by Xu Yiyi with a black line - drawing pen, he was so surprised that he dropped the tongs.
Thankfully, there was a plate below and the chicken steak landed safely on it.
Grandpa Lu quickly put down the pot, carefully wiped the oil off his hands, and held up Xu Yiyi's line - drawing. His eyes were full of admiration.
Although Xu Yiyi was just a kindergarten kid, the snail he drew was so lifelike that you could even see the muscles formed by the tiny lines.
Even the almost invisible texture on the snail's body was well - presented. It was a very mature line - drawing work.
"Yiyi, did your kindergarten teacher help you with this picture?" Grandpa Lu rubbed Xu Yiyi's head and asked softly.
Xu Yiyi shook his head, his tone full of expectation. "Grandpa, I drew this all by myself. No teacher helped me."
Grandpa Lu then looked up at Xu Qingqing sitting at the dinner table. "Xu Qingqing, has Yiyi ever taken any painting classes?"
Xu Qingqing shrugged. She was already used to the kids' genius behaviors.
Especially their talents in painting and appreciation. She had never met anyone who could surpass them.
"No. I don't want to put too much pressure on the kids. They just draw for fun."
"This is really well - drawn. Yiyi has a lot of talent," Grandpa Lu's eyes sparkled with pride and satisfaction.
They were indeed the kids of the Lu family. They were so smart.
"Shall we frame this picture and hang it on the wall?"
Grandpa Lu asked Xu Yiyi with a smile.
Xu Yiyi happily nodded in agreement. "If Grandpa likes it, I'll draw more for Grandpa in the future."
Seeing that Xu Yiyi was getting more praise than her, Xu Anan immediately sat down at the living - room piano and played a smooth rendition of "Canon".
She was so familiar with the piece that she didn't even look at the sheet music. After finishing, she looked at Grandpa Lu expectantly, hoping for his praise.
Grandpa Lu didn't hesitate to praise her. He even took out his phone and asked Xu Anan to play it one more time so he could record it as his ringtone.
"Yiyi and An'an are really smart," Grandpa Lu said, looking at the two kids with emotion.
"They are so talented at such a young age. With proper cultivation, they will surely become top - notch figures in their respective fields."
Lu Chuanbai, who was coming downstairs, heard Grandpa Lu's words and refuted him expressionlessly.
"Don't even think about applying your elite education model to my kids. They need a happy childhood.
"Back then, I suffered a lot from your so - called elite education.
"While other kids were playing outside, my time was filled with extra - curricular classes.
"Unless the kids are interested and want to learn on their own, I won't force them."
"I didn't say I was going to use elite education on them," Grandpa Lu snorted in dissatisfaction and started serving dumplings for everyone. "My grandchildren are so smart that they'll be outstanding even without elite education."
Grandpa Lu's words were clearly an innuendo about Lu Chuanbai. Lu Chuanbai thought his father was really an old child, arguing about such a small thing.
Grandpa Lu served himself the most dumplings on his plate. He blew on a dumpling to cool it down, took a small bite, and immediately tasted that there was a bit too much vinegar.
"This stuffing was made by Lu Chuanbai, right?" Grandpa Lu said as he ate the dumpling and sighed.
Xu Qingqing nodded, not understanding. "Yes, he made the stuffing. What's wrong?"
"If you don't like it, don't eat it," Lu Chuanbai glanced at Grandpa Lu expressionlessly. He pretended to eat the dumplings casually, but in fact, he was all ears for his father's evaluation.
"Your taste is still the same as before. You like so much vinegar," Grandpa Lu picked up another dumpling and ate it. "Not bad. At least I don't need to dip it in vinegar."
Xu Qingqing picked up a dumpling and ate it. Maybe because their whole family liked vinegar, she thought the stuffing tasted just fine.
Lu Chuanbai didn't expect his father to still remember his fondness for vinegar. He lowered his eyes and looked at the plump white dumplings on his plate.
The two kids were enjoying the hamburgers Grandpa Lu made for them.
The meal was somehow both warm and a bit tense.
After dinner, Grandpa Lu was about to leave. Xu Qingqing was playing with the two kids in the toy room upstairs.
Lu Chuanbai saw his father out. The father and son stood outside the door, looking at each other in silence.
