Chapter 115 Mother-in-law

So it seems I know now.

Lu Fengqing was too lazy to correct his form of address.

[Lu Fengqing: I gave her permission on her behalf. You say so.]

Gu Suixing then spoke.

[Philanthropist: Naive, timid, cowardly, socially anxious]

[Lu Fengqing: ...]

Lu Fengqing never expected that this scoundrel would have such an opinion of her mother.

[Lu Fengqing: You're finished. My mom's coming to see you tonight.]

[Philanthropist: Perfect timing, I should propose marriage to her.]

"..." You win.

[Lu Fengqing: Continue]

The philanthropist probably found typing too troublesome, so he sent her a voice message: "My dad said that my mother-in-law doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to go out, and doesn't like to interact with strangers. She went to all-girls schools from childhood to adulthood. Later, when she went to college, she had to participate in social activities, and that night she developed a high fever and was hospitalized. Speaking of which, you and she are really nothing alike."

One is socially anxious, dislikes interacting with people, and wishes they were invisible. They can handle any social situation, love to join in the fun, and always want to dress themselves up to be the center of attention. They are just a small step away from being social butterflies, and their personalities are completely different.

This was the first time Lu Fengqing had heard of these things.

The philanthropist sent another voice message: "We'll talk about the rest when I get back."

[Lu Fengqing: ...]

Do you dare to say it all at once?

[Philanthropist: Get some rest]

What a scoundrel!

Lu Fengqing gritted her teeth, tossed her phone onto the bedside table, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

The next day, only Lu Fengqing and her two younger brothers came to the dining room for breakfast. Grandpa Lu was fine and went back to his room. Uncle Chen brought the breakfast in.

After breakfast, Lu Fengqing still couldn't see Grandpa Lu. Uncle Chen blocked the door and said that Grandpa Lu wanted to be alone and didn't want to see anyone, so they all had to go back.

Seeing that his sister was in low spirits, Lu Fengyao leaned over and whispered to comfort her, "Sister, don't be sad. Grandpa is fine. Let him think about it for a few days. Maybe he'll figure it out."

Lu Fengyao was quite open-minded about his sister's situation, or rather, he didn't see it as a big deal.

Who says a woman with children can't find a good husband? Who says a woman has to get married? His sister doesn't have to worry about money anyway. She's happy to be single and doesn't have to take care of another man's family or have to deal with her in-laws. She'll have her son to take care of her when she gets old. Isn't that a good life?

Lu Fengxu also said, "Sister, cheer up, there's no hurdle you can't overcome."

Lu Fengqing shook her head, a bitter smile creeping onto her face.

More than twenty years have passed; it's not that easy to understand.

Grandma couldn't understand it until her death. She held on in her hospital bed until Rui Rui was taken away from her before she breathed her last.

Not to mention my maternal grandfather, he knows the Gu family better than my maternal grandmother and understands Gu Jinhong better, so he wouldn't be at ease.

Grandpa Lu didn't leave the house all day, and even the next day he stayed in his room, as if he was determined not to see Lu Fengqing for the time being.

Lu Fengqing didn't want him to stay cooped up in his room all day, so after lunch, she told Uncle Chen to remember to contact her if anything happened, and then left.

Fang Ning had driven Lu Fengqing here earlier and then drove away again, so it was Fang Ning who came to pick up Lu Fengqing.

Fang Ning asked, "Ms. Lu, are you going straight back to your apartment?"

"I won't reply." Lu Fengqing sent the address of a beauty and wellness center to Fang Ning's phone, and also sent a message to Huo Huaisui to ask her out.

More than an hour later, Lu Fengqing and Huo Huaisui met at the entrance of the health center.

Huo Huaisui saw Fang Ning, exclaimed "Huh?", and looked her up and down curiously, "Niannian, is this your relative?"

Lu Fengqing and Huo Huaisui are the same kind of people. They know many people, but their only close same-sex friends are each other.

Having known her for so long, this was the first time Huo Huaisui had ever seen Lu Fengqing with anyone by her side.

Lu Fengqing gestured with her chin toward Fang Ning, "Tell her who you are."

Fang Ning: "I am Fang Hang's relative."

Huo Huaisui gave a soft "Ah," and his gaze towards Fang Ning softened slightly. "Assistant Fang."

Fang Ning originally wanted to wait for them to come out at the door, but Huo Huai Sui pulled her inside without saying a word.

"Look how rough your skin is. Even the skin on my heels isn't this rough."

Fang Ning chuckled and said, "That's how it is in our line of work."

Huo Huaisui: "How can that be?"

Fang Ning patted her chest and said, "Bodyguards, of course."

Huo Huaisui: "?"

...It's not that she doesn't trust people, but rather, this girl's arms and legs look so small they could break with a twist, how can she be a bodyguard?

Seeing that Huo Huaisui didn't believe her, Fang Ning said seriously, "Don't underestimate me just because I'm small. I'm very strong. I used to go to police academy and worked in the police station for more than a year. Taking down a few big, rough men is no problem for me."

After swiping her card, Lu Fengqing added for her, "She can also break a boulder on her chest."

Huo Huaisui: "?"

Fang Ning smiled shyly.

Huo Huai Sui looked down at the girl's chest.

"..." She believed that.

Fang Ning was visiting a place like this for the first time, and she seemed a little nervous. It took her a long time to take off her clothes.

Taking the opportunity, Huo Huaisui pulled Lu Fengqing aside and whispered, "Did Fourth Brother find this rough-looking girl for you?"

Lu Fengqing hummed in agreement.

Huo Huaisui thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You always have gold, silver and jewelry on you. Robbers love to target people like you. It's good to have someone protect you."

Lu Fengqing was in a bad mood and just nodded perfunctorily.

After the massage, the three of them went to soak in the hot spring.

Each person has their own bath here. Lu Fengqing untied her bath towel and stepped into the ginseng bath in the middle.

As soon as I sat down and turned around, I saw those two guys standing there staring at me with wide eyes, not moving an inch.

"..." Lu Fengqing's eyelids twitched, and she turned her back.

Having seen it all before, Huo Huaisui remained relatively calm, nudging Fang Ning's arm with his elbow. "How is it?"

Fang Ning felt like her eyes were being reflected so white that they were practically white. After a long while, she managed to stammer out two words: "White! Big!"

Huo Huaisui: "Are you envious?"

Fang Ning swallowed hard. "I'm envious."

Huo Huaisui: "You're envious, aren't you?"

Fang Ning: "..."

After soaking in the hot spring, Huo Huaisui let out a comfortable sigh.

There were only the three of them here, and the door was closed, so they didn't have to worry about being disturbed by anyone else.

Huo Huai Sui picked up the fruit wine on the tray, took a small sip, and secretly glanced at Lu Feng Qing. Suddenly, he said, "I've been so busy lately."

Lu Fengqing, ever quick to follow her lead, asked, "What are you busy with?"

"It's nothing," Huo Huai Sui said calmly, as if discussing the weather. "I just fell in love."

Lu Fengqing: "?"
