Chapter 18
Chen Kexin was instantly stunned when she heard that. When she came back to her senses, she panicked and wanted to piece the marriage certificate together.
However, the more she wanted to work hard, the more anxious she became. Suddenly, she broke down and threw herself into Old Madam Lu’s arms. Tears fell like rain.
“Grandma, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it! Boohoo…”
“You bastard, you really piss me off!” Old Madam Lu slammed the table and glared at Lu Zhi. “Divorce her immediately, or I won’t acknowledge you as my grandson!”
“Sorry, Grandma, I can’t do it.”
Lu Zhi met her gaze calmly with a firm attitude.
Old Madam Lu frowned, and the aura around her plummeted.
She pulled Chen Kexin, who was almost paralyzed on the ground, and said, “Kexin, let’s go! Since he insists on having that vixen, then I won’t have this grandson in the future!”
“Grandma, I’m not leaving…”
Chen Kexin looked at Lu Zhi with tears in her eyes.
“Brother Ah Zhi, do you still remember when I was seven years old and jumped into the cold lake to fish you out? You said that you would treat me well for the rest of my life. You can’t let me down.”
“I won’t go back on my word. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life, but I’ll only treat you as my sister.”
“No, I don’t want to. I only want to be your wife. Only I can be your wife!”
Chen Kexin’s tears fell, and her face was as pale as paper.
“Kexin, follow me home!”
Old Madam Lu was so angry that she gasped heavily. She grabbed Chen Kexin and walked out.
The housekeeper did not dare to neglect Lu Zhi’s gaze. She quickly went forward and supported the old lady.
How could Old Madam Lu let her be?
Waving her hand to push her away, she said in a low voice, “Don’t touch me! I’m not so old that I can’t walk. Go away!”
The housekeeper was speechless.
Jiang Yining waited in the room for a while in boredom. She couldn’t sit still anymore, so she wanted to go outside and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the stairs, she saw the housekeeper walking towards her with a frightened expression. She asked, “Where’s the Old Madam?”
“Old Madam Lu left.”
“She left?” She was so angry just now that she wanted to chase her out of the house. Why would she leave so willingly so soon?
Jiang Yining was a little confused.
On this side, the housekeeper’s admiration for her was already like a surging river, stretching endlessly.
This new Young Mistress was really too resourceful.
She had only known Sir for a few days, but Sir was already infatuated with her and listened to her every word.
In the future, she really didn’t dare to offend them at all.
So, she told Jiang Yining everything that happened in the living room.
Jiang Yining had already calmed down.
Now that she heard Lu Zhi get into a conflict with Grandma for her, she could not help but feel guilty.
Now that she had vented her anger, where was Lu Zhi?
Seeing that her expression was not right, the housekeeper said, “Young Mistress, do you want to go and find Sir?”
“Oh, maybe later.”
She hadn’t thought of how to apologize to him yet.
…
Jiang Yining hid in her room. After thinking for a while, she decided to make dinner and take the initiative to express her goodwill to Lu Zhi.
She was so confident that everyone thought she really knew how to cook.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the kitchen began to smoke and it was noisy.
But Jiang Yining had said that no one was allowed to enter.
When Lu Zhi heard the news, he rushed over. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yining, who was fully armed, as well as a burning iron wok.
Lu Zhi was speechless.
Jiang Yining heard movement at the door and coughed as she said, “Who let you guys in? Didn’t I tell you not to come in?”
“Who asked you to cook!”
The familiar voice sounded stern.
Jiang Yining was shocked. “Why are you here?”
“You’re about to burn down the kitchen. How can I not come?”
Jiang Yining wiped her sweat, and her fair face instantly turned dirty.
“It’s not that exaggerated. Don’t worry, I…”
Before she could finish his words, there was a boom, and the iron wok behind her had already jumped three feet high.
Jiang Yining was scared out of her wits and only had time to see a black shadow flash in front of her eyes!
When she came back to her senses, Lu Zhi hugged her and protected her tightly.
She panted heavily and finally came back to her senses. What she saw was Lu Zhi’s back facing the iron wok!
The iron wok was still spewing fire!
She was so shocked that her face was a little pale. She immediately crawled out of his arms and said, “Are you alright? Are you scalded?”
She was so nervous that she wanted to pull him to check, but he didn’t give her a chance. He pulled her into his arms again and finally dealt with the iron wok that was spewing oil in no time.
“I’m sorry, I…”
Jiang Yining lowered her head, her face full of self-blame.
Lu Zhi sighed deeply. The anger in his stomach disappeared completely in front of her aggrieved expression.
However, his tone was still stern as he looked at her and said…
