Chapter 763 - Question Me After Trying

“Okay then.”

Mr. Zhong nodded hesitantly.

The Zhong family had only one son for several generations. Mr. Zhong only had this grandson now. Nothing must happen to him.

“Sit down first,” Lu Sheng suggested.

On the other hand, Old Madam Chu, Old Madam Fu, and the rest had already moved to sit elsewhere and given them the sofa.

Chu Hongzhong gestured for the Zhong family to take their seats.

The child was a little afraid of strangers. From the moment he entered, he had been nestling in Mr. Zhong’s arms.

“What’s the child’s name?” Lu Sheng asked.

“He’s called Zhong Xiaobao,” Mr. Zhong replied.

Lu Sheng nodded and asked, “When did the crying start?”

“It started last week.” The young woman said, “Just last week, his father and I brought him out for a walk. After we came back, he started to create a scene that night.”

“We initially thought that he was unwell and sent him to the hospital for a checkup that night. However, after the checkup, the doctor said that he was healthy and there was nothing wrong.”

“However, after we reached home, he still kicked up a fuss. He would start kicking up a fuss at ten at night and sleep only at around three or four in the morning.”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. “You said that you brought the child out to play and that’s it. Do you know where you went?”

“Actually… we also went to another place,” the young man suddenly said.

“Where?” Lu Sheng asked.

“The cemetery,” the man said. “We passed by that place, so we brought the child to see his grandma.”

The young woman nodded. “His grandma passed away before he was born. We happened to pass by there and wanted to bring the child over to visit her.”

“That’s it,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “This should be the reason why the child is crying.”

“What’s the reason?”

The Zhong family still looked confused.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Sheng said lightly, “The child’s grandma has never seen him before, so she couldn’t bear to leave him and followed you home.”

When the couple heard that, their expressions froze.

“This is too ridiculous!” Mr. Zhong frowned. “Miss, you’re saying that the child cries every night because of his grandma?”

“That’s right.” Lu Sheng nodded. “She didn’t want to harm the child. It’s just that she was a bit excited to see her grandson for the first time, so she wanted to play with him. However, the child has never seen her before, after all, so he would be afraid when he saw her. That’s why he cried.”

Mr. Zhong was doubtful. If his grandson’s reaction was not too unusual and the hospital could not find out the reason, he would not have believed these.

However, seeing how convincing Lu Sheng was, he did not dare to not believe her.

“Then… how should we settle this?” the young man asked.

“It’s very simple,” Lu Sheng said lightly. “When you go back, buy some paper money. Before burning the paper money, insert three incense sticks on the ground. Then, when burning the paper money, tell her about this.”

“How should we tell her?” Mr. Zhong asked.

“Tell her that the child has never seen her before and is afraid. Ask her to stop teasing the child.”

“Can this really work?” Mr. Zhong could not help but question.

Lu Sheng smiled faintly. “If the child still cries after trying these, question me then.”

Mr. Zhong felt awkward. “That’s not what I meant.”

“I know.” Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “It’s normal for you not to believe in such things.”

“Then, we’ll go back and try now.”

As Mr. Zhong spoke, he glanced at the young man.

The young man understood and hurriedly took out a red packet. He passed it to Lu Sheng and said, “It’s just a small token. Please accept it..”
