Lu Jianshen still had a lot of confidence in Tang Li; she would never go after her best friend's man.

Tang Li was surprised that Yan Zhenzhen's casual excuse was so effective.

"Yes, he and Zhenzhen have a very good relationship."

Seeing that Tang Li seemed to be in a good mood, Lu Jianshen thought for a moment and asked, "So, are you going back to sleep tonight?"

"The beds in this lounge are too hard and uncomfortable. Why don't you go home? I've replaced the mattress with a new one, an eight-million-dollar mattress, custom-made for you. Would you like to go back and try it out?"

8 million!

Did you buy a mattress?

Tang Li was stunned. She really couldn't understand the world of the rich. 8 million was enough to buy a small villa.

"So expensive!"

There's a reason why it's expensive!

"This mattress is custom-made to fit your bone structure. Think about it, if you have 60 years left to live, and you sleep 8 hours a day, that's about 170,000 hours of sleep. That's 47 yuan per hour, so don't waste it!"

Tang Li stared blankly at Lu Jianshen; the CEO's thought process was becoming increasingly peculiar.

When did you order your mattress? I didn't know that.

Lu Jianshen explained, "During your last physical exam, you mentioned that your back hurts after sleeping for too long, so I took your bone report to get it customized. It just arrived a few days ago!"

So that's how it is.

Tang Li was both tempted and curious: what would an 8 million yuan mattress feel like?

But, is it too superficial for her to go back just because of a mattress?

Seeing that she was somewhat tempted, Lu Jianshen continued to coax her, "I've been renovating my house these past few days. Why don't you go back and take a look and see if there's anything that's unreasonable about the renovation?"

He not only replaced the mattress with an 8 million yuan one, but also renovated the house.

Tang Li turned to look at him, "You seem to have a lot of free time lately."

The two were debating whether to go back to sleep that night when Lu Jianshen's phone suddenly rang.

It was almost midnight when he saw that it was a call from the old house, from the family's housekeeper.

Lu Jianshen answered the phone; Old Mrs. Lu was critically ill.

"Lili, the old lady is critically ill. Should we go back and check on her?"

Tang Li was holding a can of cola. She put it down and nodded.

She disliked the Lu family, even hated them, but the only person in the Lu family who made her feel warm was Old Mrs. Lu.

One should not be ungrateful. Even if she doesn't go back to that place, she should still say goodbye to the old lady properly.

The Lu family's old residence.

When Lu Jianshen arrived with Tang Li, Xu Lihua's expression was as ugly as a palette.

That little bitch Tang Li actually came back to life!

Lu Jianshen led Tang Li directly into the old lady's bedroom, where the old lady was already somewhat delirious.

During her few brief moments of lucidity, the old lady kept muttering about Lu Jianshen and Tang Li.

The old lady originally thought Tang Li was dead, but she only found out from the family's servants that Tang Li had actually come back to life.

This is really great news!

From now on, Jian Shen will no longer be all alone.

"Lili, I'm so happy! I never thought I'd see you before I die. It's so good that you're back! It's so good that you're back!"

Grandma Lu held Tang Li's hand; her withered palms evoked a sense of bitterness.

"Grandma, I'm back. I'm sorry I didn't come to see you sooner!"

"Silly girl, why are you apologizing? It's good that you're back. Now that you're back, Jian Shen isn't alone anymore. Otherwise, seeing him all alone would break my heart!"

The old man's voice was very weak, and his breathing rate was getting slower and slower, so Tang Li had to get closer to hear him clearly.

"You two must stay together, support and help each other. This is a rare and precious bond bestowed upon you by God, so cherish it!"

"Lili, don't leave Ashen again. He needs you."

Tang Li nodded, tears slowly welling up in her eyes. She felt the old lady's life slipping away little by little, but she couldn't hold on to it.

"Grandma, shall I ask the doctor to come and see you?"

The old lady waved her hand weakly, indicating that calling the doctor would be futile and unnecessary.

She'd rather die with tubes all over her body, looking pathetic, than leave this way with dignity.

“Lili, Grandma still has some money. Grandma wrote her will, and it’s in the drawer of the bedside table. She’s leaving it all to you. You can’t refuse Grandma. This is Grandma’s last little something.”

Li Li was stunned. Even if it was Old Madam Lu's inheritance, shouldn't it be left to Lu Chengyi?

"Grandma, shouldn't you leave your money to Lu Chengyi?"

Grandma Lu shook her head. They already had so much; they didn't need her.

"Lili, you must remember your promise to Grandma: stay with Jian Shen. You two must be well. Grandma only wants to leave her inheritance to the person she loves. You are not allowed to refuse. And Grandma is not allowed to give that money to anyone else after I die."

Tang Li nodded, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, like beads falling from a broken string.

She had been married into the Lu family for three years, but her husband was not around, and her mother-in-law treated her only so-so. Only her grandmother was devoted to her and even closer to her than her own grandmother.

After the old lady finished speaking with Tang Li, she waved for Lu Jianshen to come over.

"Ah Shen, you brat! Don't you blame this old lady? You deserve a happy and fulfilling family. It's all because that old man from the Lu family is such a scoundrel. Neither your mother nor I won. Why do women have to make things difficult for each other? It's all the man's fault, yet he insists on taking it out on us women. It's not fair!"
