Lu Qingyan casually smiled, his tone more certain than ever before, "I will make her agree."
Old Sir Lu thought about Jiang Nanshu’s lovesick ways, her attitude that it had to be Lu Qingyan or no one else, and with a helpless twist of his mouth said, "You’re just relying on that girl liking you, huh? I’m warning you, if you dare to take advantage of her, you can get out of the Lu Family. Don’t be like your father and do something to shame our family."
"Oh, just thinking about the crap your dad did gives me a headache."
He covered his chest, looking uncomfortable.
Lu Qingyan glanced at him nonchalantly, "Weren’t you having a headache? Has it moved to your heart now?"
Old Sir Lu was so angry he blew his beard and glared, "None of your business!"
Lu Qingyan chuckled, "Don’t be angry, in the future you’ll want to hold your great-grandson."
Old Sir Lu: "..."
This pie was truly huge... and exceptionally tasty.
He thought about his soft and squishy great-grandson and somehow he didn’t feel quite so angry anymore.
Getting angry would bring no one to compensate for it.
Forget it, he should just relax his mind and see what fate his grandson would weave.
Seeing the tenderness in Lu Qingyan’s eyes and thinking back to how he used to keep people at a distance, refusing anything to do with Jiang Nanshu, Old Sir Lu couldn’t help but tease, "What a softie..."
Lu Qingyan didn’t get annoyed; the grandfather and grandson duo sat in the living room.
Only then did Lu Qingyan ask the question he’d been wanting to ask, "Grandpa, when you insisted that I get engaged to Jiang Nanshu, did you know something?"
Old Sir Lu raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask?"
His gaze shifted toward the second-floor railing as he spoke lightly, "A few days ago, I went to Mingyue Town, where Jiang Nanshu grew up and where I was kidnapped for the first time in my life. From her, I learned that the mountain where the kidnapper took me was off-limits, and if they weren’t locals, it wouldn’t have been possible to save me so in time."
Hearing Lu Qingyan’s words,
Old Sir Lu picked up his tea and casually took a sip, "Xiao Yan, some answers are already in your heart. Why come to ask me?"
The truth seemed to be on the verge of coming out as Lu Qingyan’s dark eyes grew even more serene.
"The reason I decided on the girl from the Jiang Family was because, when you were rescued by Su Ran, I investigated Mingyue Town. That same day, the Jiang Family girl also came down from the mountain. She was worse off than you, covered in wounds and was eventually found in a ditch. By then, you were already in Beijing hospital for treatment, so the first person you saw was Su Ran." freёwebnovel.com
"Undeniably, she did bring you back, but whether she found you in the mountains or simply stumbled upon you, only she knows the truth. As for your feelings toward Su Ran at that time, that’s a question for you."
When it came to Su Ran,
Lu Qingyan didn’t like her, but he also felt gratitude for her life-saving help. It was Su Ran who had saved his life; morally and rationally, he had to repay her.
All Su Ran wanted was one thing: to be together with him after graduation.
Although ridiculous, when one is young and without a preferred partner, it seems anyone could suffice.
He agreed, he thought, to try.
But what he didn’t expect was for Su Ran to take the 30 million his grandfather had given her and go abroad.
He was all prepared to repay the debt, but she didn’t want it.
Was she playing him for a fool?
So he chased her to the airport, got the clear answer from her, and let Su Ran go.
