My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 909

Chapter 909 Coward

Despite being able to perceive Feng Wan's discontent, Lu Jingyuan was powerless to do anything about it. Certain things could not be explained, regardless of how the elderly woman interpreted them.

While they conversed, the dishes were served. Although it was lunchtime, the chef had prepared many dishes because they had guests coming over. However, the atmosphere was a bit tense, and everyone seemed to lack the appetite to fully enjoy the spread of delicacies.

Just then, Nan Zhengde came out of his study. He knew that Lu Jingyuan was visiting, but he had no intention of speaking to her directly.

He did not think it was necessary to make a fuss over Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan's love affair.

Unless it was time to talk about marriage, the old man thought it was unnecessary to inquire.

After all, Nan Xing had dated many girls, and if he had to approve of every one of them, it would be very exhausting for him.

“Grandpa, this is Lu Jingyuan,” Nan Xing introduced her.

“Hello, Old Master Nan. I'm Lu Jingyuan.” The woman stood up and bowed.

The elderly man detected a tense atmosphere in the room and inferred that the conversation between his wife and the girl was not going well.

“Hello, please sit down,” the old man replied warmly.

Lu Jingyuan took a seat but didn't touch the food in front of her. She had no appetite and hadn't wanted to come in the first place.

She only agreed to show up because of Ning Ran, and now she felt frustrated with the awkward situation.

“Ms. Lu, please help yourself and eat well,” the old man warmly invited.

Lu Jingyuan reluctantly complied after saying thank you to Nan Zhengde.

However, after taking a few bites of food, she put down her chopsticks.

As someone with a habit of idling and disliked socializing, she found the environment extremely uncomfortable and couldn't eat anymore.

“Have you finished eating?” Nan Xing asked Lu Jingyuan.

“Mm, I'm not hungry. You guys can take your time,” she replied.

“Xing, why don't you take Ms. Lu outside for a walk?”

The old man noticed that Lu Jingyuan looked rather uncomfortable sitting at the table. Hence, he asked Nan Xing to take her outside so that he could privately ask Feng Wan what was going on.

“Okay, let's go outside and I'll show you around the rooms,” Nan Xing said.

Lu Jingyuan and Nan Xing finally heaved a sigh of relief after stepping out.

“Your grandma doesn't like me, but my dad doesn't allow me to talk about my family's affairs. It's always been like this, what can I do?” the woman said helplessly.

“It's not that she doesn't like you. She just thinks your family is too mysterious. Don't think too much about it. Let's walk around here,” Nan Xing assured.

While the duo was outside, Nan Zhengde asked Feng Wan, “Did you bully the girl?”

The old lady instantly got angry. “She bullied me! I asked her what her family does, and she refused to tell me. She even said her dad doesn't allow her to talk about it. What kind of attitude is that? We don't need anything from her family, but she's looking down on us!”

“He doesn't allow her to say it?” The old man was also surprised.

“Yes. Can you believe her attitude?” the old lady snapped.

Nan Zhengde was not annoyed, though. “It must be a high-rank position. He's worried that his children will use his name to show off outside, so he established rules since they were young to not talk about his job. That's a good thing. It shows that their family has strict rules. Do you really like those rich brats who always boast about their fathers being high-ranking officials?”

The old man tried to appease the old lady with a smile, and her anger dissipated somewhat.

“But is it necessary to keep it so tightly under wraps?” she retorted.

“Never mind. They're just in the dating stage for now. If they really start talking about marriage, we can just have Qiao Zhan investigate. It's not that difficult to find out about her father's identity since everyone already knows who the daughter is.”

Feng Wan had nothing else to say after the old man reassured her.

As soon as Nan Xing and Lu Jingyuan entered the garden, the latter abruptly turned around and said, “Let's go back. I don't feel like looking around anymore.”
