At dusk, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Second Sister-in-law Lu and learned about the matter of Lu Shan's adoption by Lu Hongjun.
Second Sister-in-law Lu said, "You were against it before, so I gave up on the idea, but this time it was my father-in-law who made the decision, and I didn't dare to contradict him. However, at first, I thought he would choose Taozi, but to my surprise, he favored Shanzi."
Lu Jiaxin remembered what Lu Hongjun had said before; it wasn't to deceive her, but he genuinely feared loneliness and wanted his progeny around him. Lu Shan was married with three kids, and both he and his wife were known for being honest, down-to-earth, hardworking, and earnest. Compared to the clever and unpredictable Lu Tao, choosing Lu Shan was more solid.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Second Sister-in-law Lu added, "Jiaxin, if you don't agree, I'll talk to father-in-law tomorrow and ask him to drop the idea."
