40 days later…Everything was, as usual, servants were busy doing their work, the house owner and his wife were missing and the Young Master and his wife were shoving more dog food than ever.
Jiang Wui who was ignored by everyone in the household dejectedly thought about the new changes in the manor.
They say, "the change is the flow of life."
He clearly understood this more than anybody else. Forty days ago, he was helping his cousin and trying to give him faith in his love when everything disrupted as Grandpa Lu came with a big fanfare.
He was on time, not a bit late.
"What are you doing? Every time I see you; you are only busy eating. Don"t you have any other things in life? Go find a girlfriend of your own. Why are you disturbing my kids early in the morning?"
Grandpa Lu mocked Jiang Wui who was finis.h.i.+ng his sandwich leisurely with a silly face.
He was again mocked by Grandpa Lu.
It was the daily routine of Grandpa Lu to tease him about his single life. He was unfortunate in terms of receiving love from his girlfriend.
His girlfriend prioritizes her best friend over him so he was always left alone since Zhen Xiu was in pain in the past twenty-eight days. Jiang Wui did not know about the cause of the problem but it was serious enough to get her on bed rest.
Grandpa Lu chided him again as he saw him daydreaming again.
"Are you out of your mind? Every time! It"s every time you get this face and think about my daughter in law alongside your worrisome life. You both are different that"s why you receive different affections from the same people. No need to be jealous of her luck. Even I like her more than you. She is so good for my Jian. A perfect match!"
Jiang Wui snickered at the example of a perfect marriage being attached to the Lu-Zhen couple. For him, it was a complete disaster but he did not have the guts to say this in front of Lu Chang Ming.
After all, one should keep their thoughts to themselves while dealing with predators like Grandpa Lu.
"Yeah! Yeah! Zhen Xiu is such an attention seeker. You still don"t know about your white lotus daughter in law."
Jiang Wui huffed at his bad luck.
What Grandpa Lu said what somewhat correct in terms of luck Zhen Xiu was far better than him.
"Leave me out of all this. Why are they still not here yet?" He inquired.
As from the past week, both his cousin and his wife were both being clingy with each other and it looked like they could not be separated from each other till one dies.
All the sweet moments in between them were a thorn in his heart.
That Lu Jian always got better things in life whether face, body, money or even his wife. Everything was spot on yet here he was still sulking about Shen Ya leaving for the presentation.
The branch was opening in C country because of honorable Zhen Xiu but Shen Ya, his girlfriend had to go there and poach elite staff from the main branch.
Ugh! It was too unfair.
Meanwhile, he was forced to witness the blooming love story of his cousin Lu Jian. It was a rocky start in the beginning but it instantly rocketed and gave him a new life.
"Why would they be here? They are preparing for my grandchild. You don"t need to disturb them. Why is a single dog sitting here and waiting for his own demise? Go out and work. Shen Ya will be here next week. Till then go annoy that Shen Rui." Grandpa Lu laughed at his devious idea.
Lu Chang Ming was a fair and just person despite being a businessman all his life. He has never done anything against his heart that"s why when he saw a little girl pleading for his grandson out of love he agreed without any second thought.
After all, where can he get a pure girl in this vicious world for his innocent grandson who thought himself as a cool b.a.s.t.a.r.d?
Everyone around them desired Lu Jian and Lujia as trophies to get, the final stop for their ambitious life especially the young woman around them.
They were not bad but not good enough for his grandson. In the midst of all the ruckus, he found a deserving girl that only cared about getting his grandson"s love and nothing more. She was so innocent in her pursuit towards his grandson Lu Jian that he was a bit doubtful the beginning but eventually came around after a lot of investigation.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He didn"t find anything that was suspicious or harmful for his grandson and her love for Lu Jian was clearly shown in her eyes.
Zhen Xiu was a precious gem that he found for his grandson. He was happy with their development.
"Good morning grandpa." A cheerful voice greeted Lu Chang Ming when he was about to start another round with Jiang Wui. All his thoughts came to an abrupt end as he was greeted by his precious daughter in law.
Lu Jian was pus.h.i.+ng the wheelchair of Zhen Xiu and the frost in his eyes toned down few bits after Zhen Xiu was good enough to sit again. The accident has scared him to death to see his grandson suffering like a disheartened little boy.
Grandpa Lu was not aware of Zhen Xiu"s problem and why his grandson was sad when he arrived back but one thing he was sure of was that his grandson now had affection for his wife.
"Morning, little girl. Here, come sit. Jian! You too. Sit here. Accompany Grandpa and have your breakfast."
Lu Jian politely nodded in greeting and sat aside Zhen Xiu. His eyes scanning the table for an appropriate dish for his weak wife. He picked a bowl of vegetable porridge and warm milk for Zhen Xiu. He knew she did not like to eat these things but due to her health, he can"t help himself and give her the food she didn"t like.
"See! What a wife slave he is!" Jiang Wui howled in laughter and tsked at Grandpa Lu.
Zhen Xiu frowned at the choice of food and tried to use her puppy eyes for him to change his mind but he was adamant about it.
So her try was not effortless and she has to wrong her taste buds.
Lu Jian: "Eat it. It"s good for your health."
His Arctic cold voice was as usual but the hint of concern in his eyes warmed her heart and she grudgingly decided to eat these again.
"You are too evil." She pouted.
"En."
Lu Jian didn"t refute her words and was trying to fulfill her wishes as much as possible. After all, he did not want to create any more problems in their relations.h.i.+p. He had vowed to make their marriage work on that night when she was covered in blood and continuously apologizing through her weak breaths.
He still remembered her words that came after the apology.
"I was fooling you."
It pained him that his true feelings were treated as a joke and for a moment he thought about all the bad things in the world and his trust in the relations.h.i.+p was broken.
He was at the endpoint of his breakdown as he realized that he was not even a part of his wife"s heart but at the last moment Zhen Xiu broke his darkness.
Her words still rang in his ears. She said she was a fool to do all this because she herself didn"t understand these feelings and now that she knew that she was wrong she was willing to change herself and give their relations.h.i.+p a chance.
A true chance.
