Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Digging the Pit in Advance

Ning Ziping suddenly became excited. "I’m really so thankful to Uncle Gao."

Wang Hailan, having already gathered the information, didn’t want to stay here any longer, fearing that she would feel sick just looking at the bowl of food if she stayed to eat, and apprehensive about causing embarrassment, she wanted to leave quickly.

So she spoke up, "Ziping, it’s getting late; we still need to find a place to stay."

At this moment, Ning Ziping was also thinking about getting to the city earlier, so he stood up, "Uncle Gao, we won’t disturb you any longer; thank you so much for today."

As he spoke, he pointed to the items they had brought earlier, "These are for the kids at home, please don’t turn them down."

Gao Shunyi pretended to demur, "You are too polite."

After seeing off Ning Ziping, Li Xiulan looked at the items: "Old man, you really are something."

Gao Shunyi felt somewhat smug, "Quickly put them away, those irresponsible ones will be back soon."

Li Xiulan took out a few pieces, planning to divide them up to eat later, and stashed the rest into the cupboard, "Old man, do you think if they find Stone, he will go back with Ning Ziping to the Ning Family?"

Gao Shunyi ’hmm’ed, thinking back to when Ning Ziping abandoned his family and returned to the city, a man of character wouldn’t go back. But it’s hard to say; there are advantages to going back. However, with a stepmother, life wouldn’t be easy.

Li Xiulan thought of Wang Hailan, who had been with Ning Ziping earlier, "The woman just now, that must be the one Ning Ziping remarried. At first glance, she’s delicate and worthless; by the look in her eyes, she’s like a rotten melon full of bad water."

Ning Ziping and Wang Hailan, however, couldn’t care less about how Gao Shunyi and his wife were judging them, as Ning Ziping only had eight yuan left. After spending three yuan for a meal at a small restaurant and another two yuan on a room at the guesthouse, he was exhausted from running around all day.

Not worrying about the little money left on him, he simply washed up and hoped that tomorrow’s trip to the city would go smoothly, then fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Meanwhile, Luo Qiao received a call from Huo Yuhao later in the evening. With a piece of candy stuffed into her mouth by Yueyue, she mumbled, "Hello, who is this?"

"I’m looking for Luo Qiao."

"It’s me. Huo Yuhao, what’s up so late?"

"I just received a call from the Qingshan Village party secretary, saying that Stone’s birth father, Ning Ziping, returned to the village today and has been inquiring about Lu Yichen’s situation. He might even come to the city tomorrow to look for him. He wanted me to let you know."

"Okay, I got it. How’s everything in Ji City recently?"

"Pretty good; oh, and I took a trip down south recently. I brought back a batch of motorcycles. They are expensive, but they’re selling well."

"Mm, that’s the trend for the future. You can go big on that, at least you won’t have any worries for the next dozen years or so. After that, it’s hard to say."

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Luo Qiao asked Rong Daniang to take care of her two girls getting ready for bed and went back to the study in the backyard, where Lu Yichen was reading a book. She walked straight over and sat down in his lap.

Lu Yichen turned a page in his book, put it down on the table, and hugged her, planting a kiss on his wife’s tender cheek, "What’s up?"

Luo Qiao leaned into Lu Yichen’s arms, fingering the nail polish she had just applied, "Stone’s real dad went back to Qingshan Village to find his son, says he wants to acknowledge him."

Lu Yichen smiled faintly, "He wishes, but it’s up to Stone to recognize him."

Luo Qiao put down her hand, "Stone is only sixteen this year. If he really is found by his birth father, he’s still a minor. We are unrelated; what if they insist on fighting for custody?"

Lu Yichen said, "We have the agreement he signed back then, plus the documents signed by the Sun Family. Besides, Stone, though a minor, has the right to choose where he stays. With me here, you don’t have to worry."

"I’m not worried, mainly just afraid they’ll come looking and cause a disturbance, affecting Stone. He’s in his second year of high school, and next year it’s the big final third year."

Lu Yichen chuckled, "Well, he’ll have to find us first."

As he spoke, he shifted her in his arms and picked up the phone in the study, dialing out, "Hey, Old Wei, it’s me, Lu Yichen."

"The last time I heard from you, my boy, was when you called for your wedding! Speak up, you never call without a reason."

"Actually, I do need a favor from you..."

After they had agreed, they hung up, and Luo Qiao watched Lu Yichen with a smile, "Brother Chen, so mighty."

Lu Yichen looked at the charming person in his arms and whispered softly, "As long as Qiaoqiao likes it."

The two were really inseparable in the study, ending up in the resting room behind the study...

Far away in Chaoyang Commune’s guesthouse, Ning Ziping had no idea that someone had set a big trap waiting for him; anyway, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen wouldn’t let him disturb Stone before he came of age.

As for the future, once Stone was grown, it would be up to him to choose.
