Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 599

Chapter 599: Relatives by Marriage
Chen Jianmin glanced at Lu Jueyu and saw her smiling at him. There was no judgment at all in her eyes, unlike others who would avoid him as if he were a rotten trash like his cousin, Gou Dan.

When Dong Huang stood in front of him, she stuffed the milk candies into his clothes pocket and handed him the eggs. Before she could say anything, they heard a loud noise from Chen Jianmin’s stomach, which stunned both of them.

After a few seconds, Dong Huang looked at him and asked, “Classmate Chen Jianmin, have you had breakfast?”

Chen Jianmin was a little embarrassed by her question and didn’t know what to say.

While he was lost in thought, Dong Huang had already squatted down and opened her lunch bag. Then she took out a smoked beef sandwich and a strawberry with whipped cream sandwich from her lunch bag.

After packing her lunch bag, she stood up and said, “Classmate Chen Jianmin, these snacks were made for me by my foster mother as snacks. I will share them with you. Here, try them. They are very delicious!”

Looking at the food wrapped in oil paper, he said, “This… I can’t accept it. You already gave me two eggs, how can I still eat your snacks?”

Before Dong Huang could react, Dong Li had already walked over and said, “Stop dawdling, or we will be late for school.”

After saying that, he took his sister’s hand and left without looking at Chen Jianmin.

Dong Huang turned around while being pulled by her brother and said, “Classmate Chen Jianmin, you can eat eggs while walking.”

When Lu Jueyu heard this, she shook her head and followed the two of them and said, “Xiao Huang, you can’t eat while walking, otherwise you will get an upset stomach.”

Seeing Chen Jianmin still standing there motionless, she added, “Classmate Chen, you will be late if you do not hurry up.”

Hearing her words, Chen Jianmin came out of his thoughts. He put the sandwich into his school bag and quickly chased after them. He did not dare to walk side by side with Lu Jueyu, so he could only follow them, keeping a distance of five steps.

Realizing this, Lu Jueyu slowed down until they walked side by side. As they walked together, she asked, “Classmate Chen, can I call you Jianmin?”

Chen Jianmin was caught off guard by her sudden question. He was stunned for a moment, nodded, but said nothing.

Lu Jueyu looked at him and smiled, “Actually, your mother and I are also distant relatives. Your maternal aunt is my maternal cousin’s wife. So, according to family relations, you should call me aunt.”

After listening to her words, Chen Jianmin finally said, “Aunt Li, our family relationship is so far apart. My mother and you can only be considered relatives by marriage at best.”

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu chuckled and said, “Well, that’s true.”

After that, she said nothing more. Although she felt sorry for the boy, she would not try to get close to him without understanding his character. More importantly, she found that her adopted son seemed a little wary when facing this boy.

She looked at the back of her adopted son and noticed that Dong Li’s ears moved from time to time. His ears always liked this when he tried to eavesdrop or was shy, she thought it was cute.

Twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at the school. As soon as he entered the school, Chen Jianmin stopped and said, “Aunt Li, thank you for the eggs, snacks, and candies. I will go to my classroom first.”

“You are welcome. Please take good care of Xiao Huang and Xiao Li in the future.”

“I will.” Chen Jianmin nodded and walked to the classroom.

It was almost time for class, so Dong Li said, “Foster mother, I’m going to class first.”

“Okay, study hard and remember to rest.” Lu Jueyu reminded him.

“Mhmm, Foster mother, don’t worry about me.” Dong Li said with a smile before leaving.

Seeing that her brother had also gone to his classroom, Dong Huang held Lu Jueyu’s hand and said, “Foster mother, let’s hurry up too.”

“Okay, okay. Let’s go to your classroom,” Lu Jueyu said with a smile.

When they entered the second-grade classroom, Feng Lin was a little surprised and hurriedly went up to greet Lu Jueyu, “Aunt Li, what brings you to our school today?”

Seeing a hint of worry on his face, Lu Jueyu said, “Today is Xiao Huang’s birthday. Auntie is here to share some red eggs and candies with everyone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the children turned their heads and looked at her with bright eyes as if she was a piece of fatty meat.

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu let out a chuckle and was relieved that she prepared a lot of red eggs. Otherwise, it will not be enough for Dong Huang’s classmates and teachers.

Suddenly, a boy who was about the same age as Feng Lin came over and said politely, “Hello, auntie. My name is Ah Bao, and I am the class representative. If you need help, you can tell me.”

After thinking for a while, Lu Jueyu said, “Hello, Ah Bao. Can you help me share the red eggs and candies with everyone?”

Upon hearing this, Ah Bao nodded and said, “Auntie, leave this matter to me.”

After speaking, he turned around, clapped his hands a few times, and said, “Fellow classmates, please line up in order of seats and come forward one by one to get your share.”

The children seemed to be accustomed to his instructions, and they lined up neatly according to his instructions. Then, they walked up to Lu Jueyu one by one and stretched out their hands.

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu handed each child a red egg and two milk candies. With Ah Bao’s help, they shared the eggs and candies in less than five minutes. Not long after, the school bell rang and the children quickly took their seats.
