Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Xiao Lu, Close the Elevator Door Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Xiao Lu, Close the Elevator Door After finishing the video call with the twins,

Lu Xining and Little Dumpling changed into matching mother-daughter outfits, ready to head to the art gallery hosting Gong Yunxue’s global photography exhibition tour.

When they arrived, many people had already left the gallery.

Lu Xining sent a message to Gong Yunxue, not asking her to specifically free up time to accompany them.

She walked slowly with her daughter, admiring the works.

To her surprise,

At the central C position among the global geographical photography works, there hung a portrait photograph.

By this time, Gong Yunxue had finished entertaining customers and found Lu Xining and her daughter.

She smiled and said, “What do you think?”

The photograph in front of them was none other than one of Lu Xining holding her daughter.

It had been taken when Nuonuo was one month old.

Lu Xining wore her most comfortable and soft home clothes, sitting in the garden of the old castle, looking down at her daughter who could only babble in her arms, her eyes flowing with tender motherly love.

Little Dumpling saw Gong Yunxue and greeted her with a smile.

She pointed to the photograph in the middle and said, “Mommy is so beautiful.”

Gong Yunxue picked her up and laughed, “Right? Godmother also thinks you’re super beautiful.”

“Sweetie, look, the Little Dumpling in mommy’s arms is Nuonuo.”

Nuonuo, who had no memory of her childhood, made a curious sound and looked closer.

“Nuonuo is also pretty.”

“Yes, our little treasure is the prettiest.”

Lu Xining knew that Gong Yunxue wanted to hang one of her photos, but she didn’t know which one she would choose.

And she had not expected…

That the photo would be blown up so big and placed in such a central position.

It was too eye-catching for her.

In a photography exhibition of C position mostly comprised of large geographical landscapes, displaying such a portrait felt like a very abrupt choice to most people, but Gong Yunxue thought everything was just right.

Because among the works of this exhibition, there were many photos of the great migration on the grasslands, including warm moments of lions, leopards, elephants, and other wild animals together with their young.

And after processing all the photos, she always felt something was missing.

Until one day.

When she was organizing the works on her computer, she came across this photo she had taken of Lu Xining.

Together with the photographs for the exhibition.

They harmonized just right.

Lu Xining hadn’t told Gong Yunxue about her old life in Port City.

Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a while, Gong Yunxue asked, “Not satisfied?”

“No, you took it very well.”

She smiled and said, “I just didn’t expect you would choose this photo.”

In fact, when her daughter was full moon old, Lu Xining hadn’t fully recovered yet.

But looking at the sweet and soft Little Dumpling, who didn’t cry or fuss, always happy every day, Lu Xining’s heart involuntarily softened, and she radiated with motherly love.

She had already seen electronic photos of most of the works here in advance.

Only this one caught her by surprise.

Gong Yunxue, holding Nuonuo, took a glance at the time and said, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to coffee.”

She teased Little Dumpling, “How about godmother treats our little princess to some cake, is that good?”

Nuonuo’s eyes shone as she looked at her and nodded, “Yes, godmother is super awesome~”

Amused by the child’s praise, Gong Yunxue took them to the coffee shop on the second floor of the gallery.

Little did they know that as soon as they left, a woman stood in front of that very painting, lingering for a long time.

–

Gong Yunxue’s global photography tour’s first stop was a great success.

That night, a celebration banquet was held at the most luxurious hotel in Port City.

Dressed up, Lu Xining attended with her daughter, but unexpectedly ran into someone in front of the elevator.

The woman was in a lavish gown, glittering with jewels.

She looked at her in surprise, “Xiao Lu, are you actually in Port City?”

Lu Xining, who was wiping Little Dumpling’s mouth, lifted her eyes upon hearing the voice and saw that it was Feng Suli.

The mother of Zhou Jiawang.

Out of good basic manners, Lu Xining nodded and responded neutrally.

Lu Xining: “Hmm.”

She didn’t want to continue the interaction, but just then the elevator arrived.

Not wanting to be late for her friend’s celebration banquet, she carried her child and entered the elevator.

Feng Suli followed suit.

Accompanying her was a baby-faced girl, affectionately clinging to Feng Suli’s arm.

There were no other people in the elevator.

Holding her daughter, Lu Xining moved to the furthest corner.

Upon entering, Feng Suli habitually said, “Xiao Lu, close the elevator door, will you?”

Elevator doors typically take between 3 to 6 seconds to close automatically.

They can be closed sooner by pressing a button.

Given their current positions, Feng Suli and the baby-faced girl were closer to the elevator doors.

Yet, she deliberately asked Lu Xining to do it.

The implication was clear.

Lu Xining didn’t even glance sideways, outright ignoring Feng Suli’s remark.

The woman was evidently displeased and glared at her.

Feng Suli scoffed, “What’s wrong, Xiao Lu? You don’t listen to Aunt Feng anymore?”

She still remembered the sight of Lu Xining kneeling before her all those years ago.

In that moment, she tasted the power of being a superior.

Lu Xining merely glanced at her flatly.

Just then, the elevator door closed automatically, and silence spread throughout the space.

The baby-faced girl curiously looked at the indifferent Lu Xining and queried, “Aunt Feng, who is she?”

Feng Suli raised her voice a notch, “A toad lusting after swan meat.”

Though young, Nuonuo could tell the unkindness in her words.

She glared at her and said, “You’re very rude.”

Seeing the Little Dumpling who looked almost exactly like Lu Xining, Feng Suli frowned.

“Xiao Lu, now that you have a child, you should teach her properly. Being this disrespectful to your elders at such a young age will lead to problems in society.”

Faced with Feng Suli putting on airs as an elder and schooling her daughter, Lu Xining curled her lips with a retort, “When she enters society, you’ll be halfway in your coffin, what does it have to do with you?”

“Answering you is courtesy on my part, not an obligation.”

“If your hand is broken and can’t press the elevator button, then wait patiently for it to close on its own. Why are you seeking attention here?”

Hearing Lu Xining’s unapologetic mockery, Feng Suli felt humiliated.

She was about to retort when the elevator reached the floor.

Seeing that she and Lu Xining exited on the same floor, Feng Suli’s expression turned even sourer.

The baby-faced girl was blocking the elevator exit.

Lu Xining coldly demanded, “Excuse me.”

After the girl glanced at Feng Suli, who remained silent, she timidly stepped back.

Nuonuo hugged Lu Xining’s neck and stuck out her tongue at Feng Suli.

“Old lady, the wrinkles on your face look like little bugs.”

Feng Suli was livid, hating it most when someone pointed out her age and signs of aging.

She glared fiercely at Lu Xining and her daughter, “You’ll regret this!”

Hearing her daughter defend her, Lu Xining kissed her cheek without reprimand.

But Little Dumpling didn’t want her mom to face such injustice.

She immediately sent the video she had recorded on her smartwatch to Ji Muye in Jingzhou.

With an added message:

“Uncle, Nuonuo is really super angry!”
