Chapter 553 - Can I Not Give It to You?
“Ahem…” Secretary Ho coughed lightly as he reminded them that there were still other people in this car at this time.
Jiang Yuning quickly buried her head in Lu Jingzhi’s chest as she felt a little embarrassed at this time. “Aren’t we going home tonight?”
“Yes, we are going home…but we are going back to the Lu family mansion.”
“You already found out that Grandpa called me today?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded slightly.
“Okay, but when we reach the Lu family mansion later, you cannot leave me alone and go to the study room to talk privately. If there is anything we should talk about, then let’s discuss everything face to face. We should not have any divisions between the both of us. As long as it is anything about you, then I want to know all about it too.”
Lu Jingzhi did not say anything and he simply looked at Jiang Yuning with a soft expression on his face.
The both of them held hands on the journey back home.
…
When they finally arrived at the Lu family mansion, it was already one o’clock in the morning. When they entered the living room, they saw that the old man was dressed in his pyjamas as he watched television in the living room.
“Don’t think that I am up because I was waiting for you.” The old man snorted as he looked at the both of them.
“Alright then…since it is already late, then we will just go back to our room now,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he did not plan to talk to the old man since it was already so late at night.
“Go if you want to!” The old man also got up from the sofa as he replied in a vindictive and childish manner.
Jiang Yuning could not stop herself from laughing out loud at this time. “Grandpa, if you are not waiting for us, then why are you playing my live broadcast on your cell phone?”
When the old man saw that the screen of his cell phone was exposed, he quickly turned off his cell phone and said, “The butler wanted to watch it.”
The old butler who was standing aside could only nod awkwardly as soon as he was cued. “Yes, it was me! I wanted to watch Miss Jiang’s live broadcast.”
This time, Jiang Yuning simply dragged Lu Jingzhi towards the sofa before she sat him down in front of the old man. “Grandpa, honestly, is there really any aspects of me that makes you think I am not worthy of Second Brother? My character? Personality? My family background? My looks? My talent?”
The old man thought for a short while before he said, “Nothing.”
Aside from her education level, this girl was simply amazing.
“Then, can I ask…is there anything else that you are dissatisfied with me?”
The old man thought to himself again. This young girl had already handed over all her property and money to him and she had been protecting the Lu family when he was away. She had brought Chen Jingshu back to the Lu family and she was the one who had helped Lu Jingqi recover so quickly. She had already done more than she should be doing for the Lu family and there was nothing about her that he disliked at all.
“Nothing…”
“Then…why does it seem as though you are so angry at me?”
“I am angry because of this kid! He is treating me as though I am an outsider!” the old man replied as he turned his head and pointed his finger directly at Lu Jingzhi. He gritted his teeth in anger as he continued speaking, “You accused me of never showing you any concern and you said that I never bothered to ask you what you wanted before! If you would have just told me that you were interested in Jiang Yuning and she was the person that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, do you really think I would have turned down your request?”
“It seems as though you are blaming me for all those years that the both of you have missed out on each other! Am I right to say that?”
“You liked this girl for so many years but every time you came home, you would just sit there silently as we talked about this girls’ marriage to Lu Zongye! Why didn’t you say anything at that time? You were suffering all by yourself but you refused to tell me anything!”
Jiang Yuning suddenly laughed.
This was because she felt that the nature of the matter had clearly changed. The old man did not care about when the both of them had gotten married. He has already gotten off track completely.
“Grandpa…”
“You make it seem as though I was very impartial towards you and only bias towards Lu Zongye. I have already decided that you would be the heir of the Lu family from the very beginning. That is also the reason why I have always been very strict with you. But did I ever interfere in any of your decisions? Did I say anything or tried to stop you when you decided to join the army? Did I say anything or tried to interfere when you decided to work in national defence after you were discharged from the military?” the old man was so angry at this time. “Speaking of this makes me really sad…”
“Also, I have never demanded you to bring back any rich girls, have I? Did I ask you marry a princess from another country? All that I have ever done is to urge you to get married as soon as possible on a daily basis. I am mad that the both of you did not even tell me that you were getting married!”
Jiang Yuning: “…”
Lu Jingzhi: “…”
