Chapter 287 The Old Man's Heartache

Han Ximan was still chatting with him, but Lu Chengbo's expression was not good. Anyone with eyes could see that he was dissatisfied with Bo Sinian.

When he saw Lu Wanxing come down, Bo Sinian immediately smiled at her.

Even Lu Chengbo's expression changed.

"Star, you're awake? Come on, are you hungry?"

After saying that, he went forward and took Lu Wanxing's hand.

Lu Wanxing looked at him with some surprise. "Dad? Are you alright?"

"No, um? What did you call me?"

Lu Chengbo stared in surprise, his eyes wide with astonishment. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise so early in the morning.

In their previous interactions, Lu Wanxing had never seemed to call him by name, which surprised him. Only a few days had passed, yet she had changed her attitude.

"nothing."

Lu Wanxing gave a haughty snort, but never called out that name again.

This made Lu Chengbo feel somewhat disappointed.

But since my daughter has already called me once, why should I worry that she won't call me again?

After doing this for a while, he felt less disappointed.

"Star, Daddy and Mommy are going out today. Be a good girl at home by yourself. We'll bring you something delicious when we come back."

Lu Chengbo's tone, as if he were talking to a child, left Lu Wanxing speechless.

"Dad, I'm an adult now."

Even when you're an adult, you'll still be our little princess.

After saying that, she glanced at Bo Sinian disdainfully. "You can't just let any man sweet-talk you into doing that."

This veiled criticism was clearly a veiled attack on Bo Xilai.

Bo Sinian didn't say anything, but Han Ximan had already stepped forward and twisted Lu Chengbo's ear.

"You'd better say less!"

After saying that, he picked up the person and left.

Bo Sinian served breakfast to Lu Wanxing, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Star, time to eat."

"good."

Lu Wanxing then came to her senses and returned to the dining table to eat.

Her parents were still bickering as usual, and strangely, it felt kind of heartwarming.

Bo Sinian finally spoke at the dinner table, saying, "The people who will take care of you will be here soon. Wait at home for a while, and remember to call me if anything happens."

"OK."

Lu Wanxing nodded, and after finishing their meal, she sent them all to work.

The people who came to take care of me also arrived; there were five people in total.

There are two people in the kitchen, both of whom are professional nutritionists.

The person protecting Lu Wanxing was a rather spirited-looking girl named Xu Xi. She didn't look very old, but her eyes were sharp and determined. Except when she introduced herself, she rarely spoke.

She's very aloof, but also very reassuring.

There's also a doctor next door, so that if Lu Wanxing has any problems or discomfort later on, she can get medical attention promptly.

Since they had prepared so thoroughly, Lu Wanxing really couldn't refuse.

Moreover, these people seem to have received professional training, and so far they all seem quite easy to get along with.

When Xiao Xiao found out that Lu Wanxing and Bo Sinian had actually reconciled, she was so angry that she wanted to go up and tear Lu Wanxing's face apart.

She never imagined that even after she slept with Bo Sinian, Lu Wanxing could still be with him.

With that in mind, she still managed to get Lu Wanxing's number and added her on WeChat.

At this time, Lu Wanxing was treating someone's illness.

The medicine had been delivered, and the old man's health had improved considerably. In addition, every time Lu Wanxing visited, they would exchange a few words, and now his spirits were much better.

At this moment, Lu Wanxing is in a room on the second floor of the Lu family home.

“Your illness hadn’t improved for a while, and I thought it might be because you were too lonely. Look, you seem to be in much better spirits now, even though I’ve only been talking to you for a few minutes.”

Lu Wanxing said jokingly.

The old man on the bed was no longer as pale as before; his face had a rosy glow and some flesh had appeared on his cheeks, indicating that he had been taking good care of himself during this time.

Just as they were chatting, the butler came in and whispered something in the old man's ear.

The old man's expression immediately turned sour, but Lu Wanxing noticed a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Are you really back?"

"Yes, our people received the message and are estimated to have been back for some time."

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Sigh, you can go down now."

He didn't say anything in the end, but after spending time with Lu Wanxing, he inexplicably became addicted to this feeling.

So he actually compromised a bit. Now that he's getting older, the younger generation will be living their lives, and he will eventually grow old too. There's no need to cling to those old ideas anymore.

Lu Wanxing noticed that he seemed preoccupied and considered leaving, but unexpectedly, the old man suddenly asked her a question at that moment.

Do you really think that being well-matched in terms of social status and family background is that important?

Lu Wanxing was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him, "Grandpa, didn't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Upon hearing this, the old man opposite him immediately burst into laughter.

"Yes, we already have the answer."

Lu Wanxing didn't know what had happened, but she had been here so many times and the old man had always been alone, so she guessed that there must be some hidden story.

It's not necessarily true that they've fallen out with their children.

From his conversation with the housekeeper, one can guess that the old man has probably come to his senses and wants the family to be reunited. Naturally, I won't say anything to discourage him.

And she guessed that this was probably the old man's knot in his heart for so many years.

If we can solve it now, that would be the best outcome.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Wanxing was about to leave, the butler started talking to her about the old man.

"Miss Lu, you've probably noticed it too, haven't you? The old man's unresolved issue lies with his son. Back then, he insisted on the two of them being together, always thinking they were mismatched in terms of social standing. But it turns out it was the old man's fault for separating them, causing many misunderstandings."

The young master left home because of this. Over the years, he has only come back once a year for the New Year, have a meal, and then leave again. The old man has had a hard time too.

He was a proud man who wanted to admit his mistakes but couldn't bring himself to do it, which eventually ruined his health, and he wouldn't even let us tell the young master.

Now that the young master is back, the old man's worries can finally be resolved.

Lu Wanxing hadn't expected there to be such a story behind it, and nodded knowingly.

"Yes, older people do have some minor health issues, but as long as they take good care of themselves, there shouldn't be any major problems. The most important thing is to maintain a happy mood."

"Yes, with Miss Lu taking care of him here during this time, the old man's mood has improved significantly, and he's even eating half a bowl more at mealtimes."
