The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 You Started to Care About Me

Because she was hurt too deeply,

she was very resistant to affection.

Yet she could accept Zhou Yanxu.

Indeed, when people are most vulnerable, the lifeline they grasp in their hands becomes their deity.

He was somewhat curious where she came from and what her past was like.

"Mom’s awake."

Shang Xu woke up amidst the adults’ quarreling.

Climbing out of Jiang Nanshu’s arms, he pushed open the door and saw Lu Junqin, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

His small, milk-like voice was filled with joy.

He toddled excitedly into the room.

The noblewoman and the middle-aged man exchanged glances.

They guessed that their earlier conversation had probably been overheard.

But as parents, they were out of options.

The Lu Family’s power still lay in Old Sir Lu’s hands.

Though they were blood relatives, there was always some distance.

Otherwise, why couldn’t they allow their son to intern at the company?

Was it because he was a bit too fond of playing? Couldn’t they just teach him properly?

They harbored some resentment, feeling that Old Sir Lu was unreasonable, yet he still wanted to meddle in their family’s affairs.

Lu Junqin wasn’t even his own granddaughter, so why care so much about her?

Old Sir Lu was annoyed by the two of them and snorted coldly, "I’ll go ask Junqin. If she agrees to the divorce, I’ll help her, but Xuxu might stay with the Shang Family."

After all, Shang Chi only had one son; how could he possibly let go?

A group of people headed toward the hospital room.

The noblewoman glanced at Jiang Nanshu with some resentment.

If it hadn’t been for Jiang Family’s little girl meddling, how could this have come out, making them be scolded like grandchildren? The treatment as Family Head differed wildly depending on whose hands the power was in.

[No wonder in the plot Lu Junqin would eventually commit suicide; with parents like you, you’d be the last straw that broke her.]

Jiang Nanshu curled up pitifully into Lu Qingyan’s arms, "Sob, Brother Qingyan, did I do something wrong? Shouldn’t I have called an ambulance? I feel like I made a mistake. Why is Second Mrs. Lu looking at me like that?"

Lu Qingyan glanced coldly at the noblewoman and reached out to smooth her hair, trying to straighten out her frizzled emotions, his voice gentle, "How could you have? Nannan did a good deed; you saved someone, which is a virtuous act. How could anyone blame you?"

He slightly curled his lips, "Second Aunt, my Nannan is timid, don’t scare her."

The noblewoman’s face turned green with anger.

No wonder Lu Mother disliked Jiang Nanshu; she disliked her too!

With looks like a seductress, she could only bewitch men with her face!

But she didn’t dare to offend Lu Qingyan.

The heir apparent.

If her own son could compete with Lu Qingyan’s excellence.

But among their peers.

Lu Qingyan’s intellectual prowess was unmatched, leaving everyone in the dust.

Truly, heaven had bestowed upon him both status and a brilliant mind.

"I didn’t say anything; as the future mother of the Family Head, her temperament is not suitable for the task!" the noblewoman retorted.

Lu Qingyan fondly pinched Jiang Nanshu’s cheek, not taking the noblewoman seriously, "Then it’s not for you to worry about."

Because she wasn’t qualified.

The noblewoman’s face turned iron blue as she stormed into the room.

Jiang Nanshu’s eyes twinkled, "Brother Qingyan, you’re so handsome, especially when you speak up for me. It’s so charming."

Lu Qingyan smiled back, "Then do you like me even more now?"

Jiang Nanshu didn’t blink, "When have I not cherished you? My love for you is engraved in my bones."

[Great, great, great, offend the entire family for me. Wait until you inherit the Lu Family and become the iron-fisted commander.]

Lu Qingyan chuckled softly, finally admitting, "You better not deceive me."
