Lu Jin suddenly looked at Li Anran, his gaze unusually cold.

Li Anran dares to be so presumptuous in the Lu family; she really thinks she's the mistress of the house.

She wanted to go forward and teach Li Anran a lesson, but a hand appeared in front of her and stopped her.

"Ruoxi, what's wrong?"

Jian Ruoxi shook her head at her, signaling her not to act impulsively.

When you clash with someone like Li Anran, the more impulsive you are, the more energetic she becomes.

What she just said didn't actually hurt her at all.

"I didn't expect that not long after I left here, the Lu family had already changed the people speaking here."

Jian Ruoxi said calmly.

"The old lady hasn't said anything yet, Li Anran, you're quite capable of making decisions for the Lu family."

The old lady frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Why are these two arguing again?

Will the Lu family be able to have some peace and quiet for a little longer?

"I... I didn't mean that." A look of panic immediately appeared on Li Anran's face.

She looked towards the old lady and tried her best to explain herself.

"Grandma, I didn't..."

Her face turned bright red, and if the servants hadn't been there to stop her, she seemed ready to pounce on the old lady at any moment.

In contrast, Jian Ruoxi remained expressionless, calmly watching the farce unfold.

It's as if the person Li Anran was talking about just now wasn't her.

"What follows should be a matter of family affairs for the Lu family, so it's even less appropriate for me to be here."

Goodnight, everyone.

After saying that, she walked up without looking back.

She knew without even thinking that Li Anran would definitely try to ask the old lady for forgiveness in a similar way next.

Seeing that kind of scene too often would definitely make you uncomfortable.

The old lady's deep eyes gazed at Jian Ruoxi's retreating figure.

One was striding firmly upwards, while the other crouched at her feet, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

She already had a comparison in her mind about which one was more likely to become the future mistress of the Lu family.

"Anran, get up."

I don't blame you.

She spoke calmly, her face expressionless.

Upon hearing this, Li Anran slowly stood up.

Although the old lady had forgiven her, for some reason, she still felt a little uneasy.

These past two days, she seems to be increasingly unable to understand what this old woman is thinking.

"Thank you, Grandma."

She came to the old lady's side and took her arm affectionately, just like before.

The moment Li Anran approached, the old lady recalled the ferocious expression she had just made.

Such a smooth switching made her start to find Li Anran somewhat frightening.

The old lady subtly pulled her arm out, while giving a wink to the maid beside her.

The maid immediately understood and helped Li Anran, who was squatting on the ground, up.

"Miss Li, get up quickly, or your food will get cold."

"Dinner will also include a soup that the old lady specially instructed the servants to make for you."

Upon hearing what the maid said, Li Anran immediately beamed with joy.

"I knew Grandma loved me the most."

At the dinner table, the old lady seemed to have little appetite.

Some dishes were only picked up and eaten less than two bites before being put back down.

The maid asked with concern, "Madam, is it because the food prepared in the kitchen today is not to your liking?"

Before the old lady could answer, Li Anran couldn't help but speak first.

"If the kitchen staff aren't doing their job properly, it's best to replace them as soon as possible, so that the host family won't even want to eat a single bite."

She should try to please the old woman more these days and do everything according to her wishes; it can't be wrong, can it?

"this?"

The maid looked troubled.

To be honest, she was a little worried that the old lady would listen to Li Anran.

After all, the old lady had previously been very fond of this Miss Li.

"Madam, I'll talk to the kitchen staff later and tell them to be more careful next time."

"There's no need to drive them away."

The maid wanted to plead for the kitchen staff.

The old lady didn't say anything, she just nodded.

Her inability to eat is her own fault; it has nothing to do with the cook in the kitchen.

Moreover, these people have worked for the Lu family for many years. It would be disheartening to kick them out for this reason.

An Ran's approach is far too harsh.

Is this really the kind of person the future mistress of the Lu family should choose?

"I'm getting old and don't eat much, so I won't eat with you here."

Before leaving, the old lady ordered several dishes from the table.

"Heat these dishes up and bring them to my room."

"I'll eat right here in the bedroom."

The maid was puzzled when she saw the dishes the old lady had casually ordered.

Strange, the old lady has never seemed to eat those dishes much before, why is she so interested in them today?

And if she remembered correctly, those dishes were Miss Jane's favorites.

"Knock knock knock!"

After the food was heated up, the maid pushed a cart into the old lady's bedroom.

"Madam, here is your hot dinner."

The old lady lay lazily on the bed, showing no desire to move at all.

"Take these to Jian Ruoxi's room."

"I don't want to eat any of these."

ah?

If she doesn't want to eat, why did the old lady go to all the trouble of having them prepare these things?

They were even made to heat it up properly.

Was it originally intended for Miss Jane?

The old lady could have simply told them to deliver dinner to Miss Jian's place. Why go through all this trouble?

She genuinely couldn't understand it.

The old lady noticed the confusion on the maid's face.

"If I were to directly tell her from below to send these to Jian Ruoxi, would An Ran be willing?"

"They might start arguing about this again later."

As she gets older, all she wants now is peace and quiet; she doesn't want to hear any more arguments.

"That child worked all day today, so he must be quite tired."

"As the host, we can't just not let people eat."

"You'll be responsible for delivering it."

When she heard that child talk about working in the entertainment industry today, she felt a pang of sympathy.

When I saw her empty seat during the meal, I lost my appetite.

"Yes, Madam, rest assured, I will definitely convey your feelings to Miss Jian."

As expected, the young master's plan was excellent.

Allowing Miss Jane and the old lady to spend time together again would indeed help them understand each other better.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

Perhaps the next big event at the Lu family mansion will be to hold the wedding of the young master and Miss Jian again.

"No need to say anything."

"Don't mention that I gave it to you."

"Just say that your maid took it upon herself to send her dinner."

Tell Jian Ruoxi that if she gets too arrogant and starts behaving domineeringly in the Lu family, that's fine.

That would be too much for her.

"Okay, whatever you say."
