Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 342: Things Have Changed, Things Are Still Going On

Lu Dingsheng, Yang Wenqi and their family of three left in a car.

Only Lu Xingchen, the old lady, Lu Yisen and Old Chen Ma were left in the yard.

The old lady turned around and said to Old Chen Ma, "Mother Chen, please take Yisen in first."

Obviously, she still had something to say to Lu Xingchen, and she also knew that Lu Xingchen stayed because she still had something to ask her. Maybe she sent Lu Esen back today just to ask her something.

So, after Ethan Lu was brought in by Mother Chen, Old Lady Lu walked to the other end of the corridor without saying hello to Lu Xingchen.

When Lu Xingchen arrived, she discovered something: the old lady had been walking with crutches today, which was a scene she had rarely seen before, even when she returned to the old house last time.

She suddenly remembered that many years ago, the old lady had a serious illness and had been treated for a long time but had not recovered. At that time, everyone thought she would not survive. The elders tried every possible way and even asked for divination. The fortune teller said that that year would be a big disaster for the old lady. If she did not survive the illness, she would not survive that year. If she survived, she would live a long and healthy life.

At that time, all the relatives in the clan, even those who were not so close to her on weekdays, came to visit her, with the intention of seeing her for the last time and sending her off. The thirteen-year-old girl also hurried back home.

Then, at the door of the ward, I heard the old lady say weakly and regretfully: "Xingchen is a good child, but you should leave a descendant for yourself..."

Lu Dingsheng held the old lady's hand tightly and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, but I love Xingchen just as much as you love me. I want to leave the best for her."

That night, she also promised Lu Dingsheng: "Dad, I will be a more reliable daughter than a son. I will stay in the Lu family forever, and all the children I give birth to will have the surname Lu. I will carry forward the Lu family's business."

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Things are wrong.

Even so, looking at the old lady who had been strong all her life leaning on a cane, Lu Xingchen inexplicably felt that she would rather see her being arrogant and criticizing her with full energy, or even driving her out of the Lu family.

"Don't you have something to ask me? Why are you staring at my cane?"

Lu Xingchen, who had been distracted, suddenly came back to his senses and looked at her. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but the old lady knocked on the ground with her cane a few times and asked, "Do you think I'm old? Don't worry, let alone crutches or even a wheelchair, I can still deal with you."

Lu Xingchen laughed unhappily, "If you want to punish me so badly, why would you send your precious grandson to me? Aren't you afraid that I will punish him the same way you punished me?"

"you dare?"

"It's not that I don't dare, I just don't want to argue with an old lady like you who uses a cane." After saying this, Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell and it's affecting your decision?"

The old lady glanced at her, looked forward, and sneered: "Of course you wish I was in poor health."

"No." Lu Xingchen answered quickly.

The old lady immediately looked over and said, "You can't tell what you mean by your mouth."

"Tsk." Lu Xingchen looked at her unhappily, "I also want to prove to you whether I can achieve something after leaving the Lu family, so...live longer and healthily, otherwise you will think that I can't do what I say."

The old lady snorted when she heard this, but ultimately did not refute the statement.

The two walked to the pavilion in the backyard, where the old lady often sang Cantonese opera. Although the climate in Yuecheng is evergreen all year round, the Lu family's old house is managed by professional gardeners and is like spring all year round. However, in this chilly winter, the flowers, plants and trees inevitably look bleak.

Lu Xingchen inexplicably looked at the old lady's cane again.

The old lady was also very perceptive. She said arrogantly, "I just sprained my waist, and my legs hurt a little, but no one is staring at my old arms and legs like you do. Don't worry, you are still young in life. I still want to see you frustrated."

Lu Xingchen changed the topic and asked, "Have you been singing opera recently?"

The old lady thought for a moment, then sang a verse: "The sky is clear, the air is bright, and the spirit is high. The coloratura drums are beating and the painted horns are ringing. Today we are training in front of the mountain. I hope that there are no weak soldiers under Guiying's command..."

When she sang to this point, she was obviously a little out of breath.

Lu Xingchen frowned when he heard this. Seeing that the old lady also frowned because she couldn't continue, her made-up face looked just like the withered grass and trees. Lu Xingchen opened his mouth and continued singing.

"I just wanted to beat his arrogance and kill his power, but who would have thought that he was filled with love. It's easy to capture him but hard to let him go. I can't say goodbye if he's left in the village."

The old lady listened and snorted sarcastically, "What a tune you are singing, it's out of tune."

Lu Xingchen: “I’m not good at singing, so how do you want Ethan Lu to get close to me?”

Mrs. Lu: “Didn’t you say that you were originally planning to give up the inheritance rights of the Lu family, but because of Ethan Lu, you changed your mind in order to protect him, so I wanted to see if you can do it as beautifully as you said. Besides, the Lu family has trained you for so many years, and it’s not too much to let you take care of a child.”

Lu Xingchen wanted to ask why not hand it over to Lu Dingsheng, the biological father, but after seeing the situation at the dinner table today, she swallowed back these questions that she already knew the answer to.

And it was impossible for Ethan Lu to be taught by her full-time or anything else, the old lady at most let Ethan Lu get close to her, and the intention was probably to balance the interaction between the child and Yang Wenqi's mother and daughter.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old lady asked back, "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Lu Xingchen said seriously, "I'm not unwilling, I just want you to think about it in detail. If you don't have absolute trust, your actions will only add to the trouble between us. I don't want to reject any reasonable request from anyone in the Lu family, nor do I want to bear unwarranted speculation. So, no matter what you plan to do, please keep a good distance between Yisen and me."

After that, seeing that the old lady didn't answer for a while, Lu Xingchen said politely: "That's all I want to say. Take care of yourself. I'll go back first."

Lu Xingchen said and walked out.

The old lady asked, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to Ethan?"

"No, just tell him." After saying that, Lu Xingchen looked at her legs again. In the end, he said nothing and turned around to continue walking out.

The old lady looked at the back for a long time and said, "It seems that she didn't drive here. Let's ask someone to take her out."

Mother Chen came up from the back and said, "Li Zhen's car has been parked outside for about twenty minutes."

The old lady stopped talking after hearing this.

Aunt Chen said, "Madam, it's getting dark and the wind is strong. Please go inside."

The old lady, leaning on a cane, walked slowly into the house.

Lu Xingchen walked out of the Lu family compound. Li Zhen opened the car door and got out. He observed her expression and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

"I see that Director Lu's car has been gone for quite some time. Did the old lady keep you here to talk?"

"Ah."

“Because of Ethan Lu?”

Lu Xingchen looked at him and nodded, “Yang Wenqi asked for Lu Yisen in front of the old lady, but the old lady turned around and put Yisen in my hand.”

Li Zhen didn't say anything after hearing this. He helped her open the passenger door. After he got back in the car, he reminded her carefully, "If they just want to draw the war to you, it's fine. But if they really want to assign Ethan Lu to your side without trust, your situation will be very troublesome, and you may even be calculated into it."

Lu Xingchen said as he pulled the seat belt: “I know… Let’s see what the old lady does next. No matter what, the old lady shouldn’t take the risk of using Ethan Lu to plot.”
