Lu Jingheng gripped his phone tightly, forcing himself to suppress his discomfort. "Alright, hang up now if there's nothing else. Behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble."

"I understand, Mr. Lu. You're busy."

Xu Rubao knew that as the president of the Lu Group, his time must be very precious.

She didn't say anything more and quickly hung up the phone.

She called because she wanted to know if he was feeling unwell; she hadn't noticed anything wrong with his voice earlier.

Perhaps she was just overthinking it. Lu Jingheng still had Secretary Mo by his side, so even if something happened, she would definitely find out immediately.

She touched the necklace around her neck and felt a gentle warmth slowly flowing into her heart.

No matter what Lu Jingheng does, she will definitely try to cause him less trouble and take good care of him during this year.

In the afternoon, Xu Rubao received a call from her grandfather, who said that all the medicinal herbs had been purchased and would arrive around six o'clock.

Although it cost a lot of money, at least the Xu family got through the crisis, and Xu Rubao was still very happy.

Grandpa is coming back. She has missed him so much since she hasn't seen him in so long.

Around 4 p.m., Xu Rubao returned to the Xu family home.

Chen Lizhen knew that the old man and Ziyang would be back tonight, so she started preparing dinner early.

"Ru Bao, you're back."

"Hello Aunt Zhen, I heard that Grandpa is coming back tonight, so I came back to see if there's anything I need to prepare."

Chen Lizhen nodded. "Okay, come into the kitchen and help me."

Chen Lizhen has been married into the Xu family for many years and has always been hardworking and dutiful, and she has no complaints about Ru Bao.

Honestly, Ru Bao is much more sensible than her two siblings.

Ziqing was spoiled by her mother-in-law. Sometimes, she disliked Ziqing's tendency to compare herself to others and her belief that marrying into a wealthy family was the only way to be happy.

However, when she tried to chime in, her domineering mother-in-law berated her mercilessly, saying that she came from a humble background and had no manners.

As for Ziyang, she was even more worried.

"Okay, Aunt Zhen, I'll go upstairs to put my things down and then come down to help."

Xu Rubao went upstairs to her room. She hadn't been back for several days, and there was some dust on the windowsill.

Afraid that her grandfather would find out she hadn't been home for a while, she quickly grabbed a damp towel and wiped herself to avoid letting him discover anything.

After tidying up her room, Xu Rubao went downstairs to help Aunt Zhen prepare dinner.

Grandpa has been working so hard all these years, it must be very tiring.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw my grandmother in the living room.

Over the years, she still gets a little nervous every time she sees her grandmother.

"grandmother……"

Xia Lanying felt impatient when she saw her.

However, the old man will be back tonight. If she's not there, he'll definitely ask and think she's abusing this bastard.

"What are you standing here for? Get up and do some work instead of just eating for free."

"I'll go right now."

Xu Rubao glanced at Xu Ziqing sitting next to her grandmother, guessing that she hadn't told anyone about Ye Ge.

After all, what happened at Night Song wasn't exactly something to be proud of, and besides, Xu Ziqing was so concerned about her reputation that she probably didn't want anyone to know that she was almost sold at Night Song.

Xu Rubao went into the kitchen, intending to learn from Aunt Zhen and cook for Lu Jingheng when she had time off next week.

Xu Rubao was a little surprised when she thought about this. Why was she thinking about Lu Jingheng so often?
