Chapter 361: Mrs. Lu Taking Care of Zi Yi’s Love Rival on Her Behalf 2


At dinner, the three of them were seated at the same table.


Mr. Lu’s aura was on full blast and cold air continuously radiated from him. Aisha felt like she had even forgotten how to use chopsticks.


Mrs. Lu even purposely advised her. “Aisha, eat more. We don’t have the habit of eating supper here. You will get hungry if you eat so little.”


How could Aisha possibly eat more?


Throughout the whole meal, she only managed to eat a little.


Mrs. Lu even advised her after seeing she had eaten so little. “It’s not good for your health to eat so little.”


After dinner, Mrs. Lu and Aisha went out for a walk and drank some tea, before they returned to their rooms.


In the middle of the night, Aisha woke up due to hunger. For someone who had never been hungry before in her whole life, she somehow felt aggrieved.


However, she decided to put up with it just so that she could obtain the favor of her future parents-in-law.


Early in the morning the next day, Lu Jianlin still had that stern look on his face. Aisha was too famished and she ate more for breakfast.


It immediately attracted a side glance from Mrs. Lu.


Aisha instantly felt her face turn red.


After they finished the breakfast, Mrs. Lu said to Aisha, “I’m heading to a jadeite warehouse located in the suburbs today. Do you want to tag along?”


Aisha would definitely follow her.


When they arrived at the warehouse in the suburbs, which was filled with unprocessed jadeite. The two of them followed the manager and took a tour around the warehouse.


When Mrs. Lu asked about the progress of the recent orders, the manager said awkwardly, “Madam, several professional cutters have asked for a leave recently and we are somewhat unable to meet the demand.”


Mrs. Lu furrowed her brows. “Now is the peak season for selling jadeite. Why have they all asked for a leave?”


“Several of the professionals are all from a family and something happened in their hometown. Therefore, they had no choice.”


Mrs. Lu thought for a moment and said, “I happen to be free today. I’ll do some cutting.”


“Madam, this… how can I possibly let you do the work?”


“What does it matter? I’ve been dealing with jade since a young age. It’s merely cutting and besides, we can’t possibly do nothing as we see customers disappointed due to the lack of supply.”


The manager did not continue to persuade her and led the two of them to the respective work station.


There were several cutting machines inside and only three professionals who were working right now. Around four to five of the workstations were empty.


Mrs. Lu pulled up her sleeves and walked towards the cutting machine as she said to Aisha. “You can go around and stroll by yourself. I won’t have time to accompany you around.”


Aisha looked at Mrs. Lu who had walked to the machine. She honestly wanted to say that she could help, but she did not know a single thing.


At that moment, Mrs. Lu said in a joking manner, “My two sons are all busy. I will pa.s.s down my jade business to my daughter-in-law to manage in the future.


I’m not asking for much. At least she should know everything about this industry so that she can manage it well.”


Aisha heard what she said. She was thinking that if she started to learn now, she did not know how long it would take before she was capable enough of managing the business.


If she truly intends to learn about the jade business, does it mean that she has to give up her favorite dance?


However, at the thought that she could become Lu Jingye’s wife as long as she learned about jade, she tightened her fists and asked, “Auntie Lu, is there anything I can help with?”


Mrs. Lu glanced at her and revealed an extremely polite smile. “No need for that. You’re our guest and how can I possibly get you to help you?”


“I will be upset if Auntie Lu is so polite.”


Mrs. Lu revealed an expression as if she compromised as she could not help it. “Alright then… Do you know how to draw a straight line?”


Aisha did not expect Mrs. Lu to give her such a simple task. She hastily nodded. “I know!”


“Got it.”


Mrs. Lu got the manager to send over a piece of unprocessed jade. She then took a drawing pen and drew several dots on the jade before she said to Aisha. “Connect these dots together. I’ll know how to cut the jade then.”


“Got it.”


Aisha began to draw with great interest.


After she started drawing for some time, she realized that she was too naive. The unprocessed jade weighs around a ton and it was extremely large. It was a difficult task to draw a straight line on the stone.


Following that, Mrs. Lu cut several pieces of jade.


At the end of the day, Aisha felt so tired that she was about to collapse. Moreover, she received a harsh setback. Because she had drawn the line wrongly several times, quite a few good jades had been wasted.


The moment Aisha returned to the Lu Family, she used an excuse that she wanted to wash up to give Rick a call. “Brother, I wish to learn about jade-related information.”


Aisha was not the only one who was tired. Mrs. Lu, who had not worked for a long time, was also in the same situation. The moment she saw that Aisha returned to the guest room, she pulled Lu Jianling and returned to her bedroom on the third floor.


The moment they entered their bedroom, she immediately laid on the bed and complained about her sore and aching back.


Lu Jianlin felt heartache at the sight. He educated her with a black face while ma.s.saging her back. “You didn’t have to get yourself involved to let her back down on her own accord. Is such a menial task like cutting unprocessed jade something you should be doing?”


Mrs. Lu knew that he was concerned about her and coupled with how comfortable she felt from the ma.s.sage, she said, “If I didn’t do this. How can I get her to follow suit? I’m telling you, today’s performance is definitely effective. Just you wait, perhaps she might leave tomorrow morning.”


Lu Jianlin was silent for a while before he asked, “Do you really like that girl from the Zi Family?”


“Of course I like her. You don’t know how smart and amazing she is.”


Speaking of this, she smiled. “When she returns from abroad, I’ll bring her around my shop to play. At that time, she would definitely give me surprises. If she is capable of managing the business then, I’ll pa.s.s the store to her at once.”


“You’re not worried that she might get greedy?”


Mrs. Lu turned around and looked at him as she said in displeasure, “You are not to say that about Little Zi. Any single cutting-edge technology she brings out is more superior than my company. What could she possibly be greedy for?”


She then turned her head around and continued to order him around. “Use more strength on my waist… Ahh~ it hurts… Can’t you be gentler?”


Lu Jianlin: “…”


That evening, Rick came over to visit Aisha. The moment he saw her tired appearance, he felt so worried that he ignored her opposition and took her back to the Lu Family’s main house.


“Brother, I don’t want to go.” Aisha was still protesting after getting in the car.


“You’re being toyed around like that and why do you want to stay here for?” Rick felt that Mrs. Lu was deliberately making things difficult for her.


His sister was someone that had been spoiled like a princess by everyone and when has she ever been so tired before?


“That’s not true. I was the one who volunteered to help.” Aisha knew that Rick had misunderstood and tried to explain. “Auntie Lu said that she would hand over her jade business to her future daughter-in-law. Since she had said this to me, it means that she is fond of me. How could I possibly disappoint her?”


Rick furrowed his brows at her words. “You’ve never been involved in business, let alone jade that is of Oriental tradition. Even if Mrs. Li intends to hand over the business to you, you don’t have to be the one that does the hard work. As long as you have money, you can hire the best managers and workers.”
