Determined not to waste her second chance at life, she decides to truly enjoy the life she never had befor...

Chapter 41 Giving Gifts with a Purpose

Seeing that the old lady genuinely cared about her, Wen Lu returned her a serene smile.

"Grandma, you really don't need to worry. A doctor recently came from Beijing. He's very skilled, and my health is much better than before. I don't need to go out to seek medical treatment anymore."

Wen Lu gently comforted the old woman, not wanting her to worry about her health. She thought that once she left the Wen family, their relationship would probably be over, since the old woman's granddaughter-in-law had changed.

Wenlu's well-behaved nature made the old lady feel even more sorry for her. The old lady held Wenlu's hand and said many caring things, and they talked for more than an hour.

Madam Xiao and Xiao Ran could only awkwardly stand by and watch Wen Lu and Old Madam Xiao chat, unable to join in the conversation.

"Little Lulu, are you really not going to stay at the Xiao family for a while? Grandma wants to announce your engagement with Xiao Ran at Grandma's birthday banquet. Your engagement was already arranged when Grandpa was alive. Grandma wants to give you a proper status. What do you think?"

After chatting for more than an hour, the old lady finally revealed her true feelings, which shocked Xiao Ran and his mother.

"Mom, Lulu has just turned eighteen. Isn't it too hasty for you to decide on their marriage so soon? Besides, Xiao Ran is busy with piano competitions lately."

"I'm setting them up for an engagement, not a wedding! Why are you all so anxious? Wasn't the engagement between Lulu and Xiaoran already arranged? Many people know about it! Why are you all so nervous?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's shrewd eyes looked at Madam Xiao, making Madam Xiao unconsciously tense up.

"I'm not nervous, I just think it's too early... Mom, we need to discuss this with the Wen family. We need the Wen family parents' consent; we can't make a decision unilaterally!"

Madam Xiao looked at Old Madam Xiao, trying her best to dispel Old Madam Xiao's idea.

She knew that Xiao Ran's heart was entirely with Su Yu, and that before Su Yu regained her status as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the old lady couldn't know about Xiao Ran and Su Yu's relationship.

Moreover, what their family wants is a true successor to the Wen family, not an orphan of unknown origin.

After listening to Madam Xiao's explanation, Old Madam Xiao looked at Wen Lu, wanting to hear Wen Lu's opinion.

"Little Lulu, what do you think? How about getting engaged to your brother Xiao Ran?"

Looking at the expectant look in the old lady's eyes, Wen Lu smiled faintly and then shook her head.

If it were the original owner of this body, she would have agreed without hesitation.

However, she wasn't the original owner of this body, and she didn't think much of Xiao Ran at all. Whoever wanted such a scumbag could have him; she didn't want to get involved with him at all.

Seeing Wen Lu shake her head, Xiao Ran and Madam Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief. Only Old Madam Xiao did not understand Wen Lu's reaction.

"What's wrong? Did your brother Xiao Ran bully you? Why don't you want to get engaged to your brother Xiao Ran? Don't you like your brother Xiao Ran the most?"

Grandma Xiao always treated Wen Lu like a child, so she always coaxed and coaxed him when she spoke to him.

"Grandma, I want to go back to school. Schools don't allow early relationships, let alone engagements so early. It would be bad for me, so I want to wait until I finish my college entrance exams."

Wen Lu looked at Old Madam Xiao with a smile. She didn't dislike people like Old Madam Xiao who treated her sincerely. She was willing to comfort the old lady; otherwise, she wouldn't have let Xiao Ran off so easily today.

"Yes, yes, you still have to go to school, so let's wait another year. By this time next year, you'll have been admitted to university, and then we can get engaged!"

When Grandma Xiao heard that Wen Lu's refusal to get engaged wasn't because she was dissatisfied with Xiao Ran, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Madam Xiao and Xiao Ran both breathed a sigh of relief, but Xiao Ran stared intently at Wen Lu, showing no joy at her rejection.

Wen Lu glanced at the time, took a small medicine bottle from her pocket, and placed the bottle containing two small pills in Old Madam Xiao's hand.

"Grandma, this is a birthday present for you. My friend gave it to me. He bought it at an auction. I heard it's very good for your health. You can take one whenever you feel unwell."

Wen Lu looked at Old Madam Xiao and spoke considerately.

She prepared this gift especially for Old Madam Xiao, hoping that Old Madam Xiao wouldn't faint from anger when she found out about Xiao Ran and Su Yu's affair, otherwise no one would stand up for them.

Grandma Xiao looked at the gift Wen Lu had placed in her hand, and her pupils trembled in shock.

She had only seen this kind of thing when the old man was still alive. After the old man passed away, the Xiao family declined day by day, all because none of her sons were useful.

"Little Lulu, where did you get this? This is very valuable, Grandma can't accept it."

Madam Xiao refused the small medicine bottle in her hand. She felt that this might be something that could save Wen Lu's life. If she accepted it, Wen Lu would be gone. What would she do if something happened to Wen Lu?

"Grandma, don't worry. These were given to me by the doctor who treated me. He gave me four, and I'm giving two to you. I just hope that you'll get better and better!"

Wen Lu's voice was soft and sweet, and her words were extremely pleasant to hear, which warmed the old lady's heart.

"Okay, okay, Grandma will accept the gift from my little darling."

Grandma Xiao patted Wen Lu's hand happily, her tone unconsciously filled with doting affection.

Just then, Wen Lu's phone vibrated again in her pocket. Wen Lu looked at Grandma Xiao, stood up, and said, "Grandma, it's getting late, I have to go home. I'll come see you again when I have time!"

"Are you really leaving? Aren't you going to stay with Grandma for a few more days? You always stayed with Grandma for a few days every time you came!"

Grandma Xiao was unwilling to let go of Wen Lu's hand. She had always felt that Wen Lu was a thoughtful little girl. If it weren't for the old man of the Wen family competing with her, she would have kept Wen Lu by her side to grow up. Not having a daughter was her lifelong regret.

"Grandma, I really have to go back now. I'll come see you again in a couple of days!"

As Wen Lu spoke, she withdrew her hand from Old Madam Xiao's, gave her a sweet smile, waved, and quickly left.

Watching Wen Lu's departing figure, Grandma Xiao sighed softly, "The little girl has grown up and is no longer clingy, but judging from the way she walks, her health has really improved a lot."

After Grandma Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Ran looked over and noticed that Wen Lu was indeed walking much faster than before.
