Lu Qianling picked up a piece of roasted eggplant and was about to eat it when she heard her grandmother’s question. She subconsciously replied, “Brother hasn’t come back yet.”
“How long has it been? Why isn’t he back yet?”
She had been here for a long time, but she did not see her eldest grandson.
She recalled that Lu Qingye had said that he was going on a business trip overnight during dinner that night. He must have encountered an emergency.
It had been so long since she last came here for dinner. Grandma Lu felt that no matter how big the matter was, it should have been resolved, right?
Grandma Lu’s expression darkened. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and said solemnly, “In the past, he was busy with work and didn’t come home every two to three days. That’s forgivable. But now he’s married and he’s still acting like this. It’s too outrageous.”
Grandma Lu knew that Lu Qingye was five years older than Meng Chuyuan. She was also worried that Meng Chuyuan would suffer in their family.
Actually, Madam Lu was a precedent.
However, their situation was different. The two of them had known each other for many years and had a deep emotional connection. When they were young, they had also experienced several breakups and reconciliations.
Back then, Lu Qingye’s father brought Madam Lu everywhere. At that time, Madam Lu was also young and willingly followed him wherever he went. Later on, when she had a child, she stopped following him around.
All these years, Madam Lu had long gotten used to her husband not being by her side. She thought that since they were going to be together, both parties should take a step back and understand each other. Them meeting up was just a matter of buying a plane ticket.
Meng Chuyuan was eating happily, but after she heard Grandmother Lu’s sudden words, it was as if she was frozen in frame.
She was having a good meal, why did she suddenly mention him?
Madam Lu raised her eyes and stole a glance at Meng Chuyuan. She saw that there was no change in her expression, making her emotions seem unreadable.
Speaking of which, it was strange that Lu Qingye hadn’t returned for so long. His wife didn’t make a fuss, nor did she look anxious. She didn’t look like a newlywed.
Without waiting for Meng Chuyuan to speak, Madam Lu took the initiative to break the silence and said casually, “Distance produces beauty.”
“Mom, Ah Ye’s personality is like Old Lu’s. He won’t mess around outside.”
Madam Lu was so confident that she almost patted her chest. She looked up at Meng Chuyuan, her eyes filled with determination. “Don’t worry. If he does, I’ll break his legs and make him sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”
Meng Chuyuan replied seriously, “It doesn’t matter. I will run.”
It was useless to tell her this now.
She didn’t feel anything.
Perhaps knowing from the start that this marriage might end one day, Meng
Chuyuan did not care at all and did not dare to have any hope.
Hearing what she had just blurted out, everyone’s jaws almost dropped.
“No, no.” Grandma Lu was the first to object.
Although she was an old woman and could not interfere with Lu Qingye’s marriage, it was not easy for her to wait for him to get married. She still looked forward to seeing her great-grandson in her lifetime.
“If he dares to try!” Madam Lu placed her chopsticks on the table, causing a huge commotion. “I’ll cut ties with him.”
Madam Lu hated scumbags the most. She wouldn’t even let off her own son.
Lu Qianling bent her thumb to clamp the chopsticks. She slowly raised her four fingers and raised her hand. “I can also accept one less brother.” In her eyes, one had to be rich to be considered her eldest brother.
Lu Jinsen did not know what had happened.
It was fine if his mother and sister were on Meng Chuyuan’s side. After all, they had interacted with Meng Chuyuan for a period of time. However, this was only the second time her grandmother had seen her. How could she be bought over?
Could it be because of the jade bracelet just now?
However, if it was him, he might also stand on Meng Chuyuan’s side… After all, Lu Qingye had never taught him so many things.
Meng Chuyuan pursed her lips and said calmly, “You are all exaggerating. Let’s eat.”
Up until now, she had not discovered any bad habits of Lu Qingye. He treated her quite well. Even if such a man did not have any feelings for her, it was not bad to keep him by her side as a friend.
Grandma Lu’s anger gradually dissipated. She picked up her chopsticks and ate again. She did not forget to remind Lu Jinsen, “Little Sen, when you get married in the future, don’t be like your brother.”
Lu Jinsen was stunned for a few seconds. Unexpectedly, he nodded. Realizing his actions just now, he lowered his head in embarrassment and continued eating.
After dinner, Madam Lu asked the housekeeper to clean up the bedroom and let Grandma Lu rest.
Grandma Lu liked silence. Lu Jinsen and the rest did not dare to say much in front of her, afraid that they would be despised.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Lu was more talkative today. She usually went to bed at midnight, but now, she was sitting in the living room and chatting with them.
“Grandma, do you want to try the massager I bought? It’s very comfortable.” Lu Qianling still did not give up. Before her grandma slept, she mentioned the massager she bought again.
The next thing she knew, she couldn’t resist unwrapping the package. She took out the neck massager, adjusted it to the appropriate gear, and hung it around her grandmother’s neck.
Grandma Lu hummed softly and raised her hand to touch Lu Qianling’s head.
Satisfied, she said, “Our Ling Ling has grown up and knows how to care for Grandma. I like this gift too much. A while ago, my neck was sore. With this massager given by Ling Ling, Grandma will definitely live to 99 years old.”
“Ninety-nine is not enough. Grandma will definitely live to be a hundred years old. No, more than a hundred years old.” Lu Qianling loved to hear her grandma’s praise, and she was overjoyed.
Grandma Lu smiled. Her face was full of old wrinkles, and the white hair at her temples looked gentler.
She smiled and said, “Alright, Grandma will work hard to live past 100 years old. I still have to see my granddaughter get married in the future.”
Seeing the harmonious relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter, Meng Chuyuan’s eyes dimmed quietly, and the kind face of her grandmother flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, Grandma Lu’s voice sounded. “Eh? There’s a rabbit here?”
Meng Chuyuan came back to her senses and her gaze slowly fell on the little jade rabbit on the coffee table.
“Grandma, do you like this little rabbit too?” Lu Qianling took the initiative to bend down and hand the little rabbit to Grandma. She reminded her softly, “It’s a little heavy. Be careful. This rabbit is very expensive.”
Grandma Lu held the rabbit in her hand and studied it. She even leaned closer to the lamp on the table and narrowed her eyes to observe it carefully. After Grandmother Lu finished observing it, she replied, “How expensive is it?” Lu Qianling said, “The boss’s treasure was bought by Little Sister Meng for seven million yuan.”
“Little Sister Meng…?” Hearing this unfamiliar form of address, Grandma Lu slowly raised her head, glancing at Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan replied calmly, “That’s my nickname.”
Grandma Lu was silent for two to three seconds before she asked, “Did you buy it for seven million?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuyuan did not have the habit of lying. When Grandma Lu asked, she admitted it immediately.
Hearing her grandmother’s question, Lu Qianling suddenly came over and said, “Grandma, you also think it’s unreasonable, right? This price is really too high..
Using seven million to buy such a thing…”
