Chapter 82 Fighting for It Yourself
The two were bickering casually when they entered the restaurant and ran into Lu Fenghe and Lu Fengyang coming out.
Lu Fengqing froze, instantly straightening her back as if standing at attention, "Big brother, second brother."
Lu Fengyang's face remained expressionless, while Lu Fenghe looked at Lu Fengqing and then at Gu Suixing, his brows furrowing.
Compared to Lu Fengqing's nervousness, Gu Suixing was relaxed and didn't care about meeting the two Lu brothers here. She even took the initiative to greet them.
Now that the Lu family and the Gu family have a cooperative relationship, it's naturally best not to let things get sour, so Lu Fengyang started exchanging pleasantries with Gu Suixing.
Lu Fenghe then looked at Lu Fengqing.
Lu Fengqing felt a little guilty and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
Although Lu Feng's brows showed displeasure, he didn't say much since they were outside. "Find some time to go back to the old house. Grandpa misses you."
Although the old man didn't want to keep his children and grandchildren by his side, he inevitably missed them after not seeing them for so long. The last time he saw his granddaughter was before she went to City C, which was more than a month ago.
Lu Fengqing said, "I understand."
Even if her older brother doesn't mention it, she plans to go back sometime.
The two Lu brothers did not stay long and left quickly.
Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing were led upstairs to a private room by a waiter.
After lunch, Lu Fengqing released him from the dark room in front of Gu Suixing, and only then did the old man finally let her go.
Gu Suixing had something to do in the afternoon, and Lu Fengqing also planned to go back to the Lu residence. The two parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant.
The car that arrived belonged to Lu Fengqing, and she drove it away directly. Gu Suixing was picked up by Assistant Fang.
On her way to the Lu residence, Lu Fengqing received a call from Huo Huaisui.
"Niannian, you..." Huo Huaisui paused, "Are you alright?"
Lu Fengqing scoffed, "Tell me, what benefits did your fourth brother give you this time?"
She knew Huo Huaisui; if there wasn't some benefit in it, Huo Huaisui wouldn't have helped him deceive her.
Huo Huai Sui chuckled, "It's nothing. It's just that Fourth Brother promised to buy me a yellow diamond."
Lu Fengqing: "...The kind that costs 180 yuan a year?"
Upon hearing Lu Fengqing's tone, Huo Huaisui knew she wasn't angry and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s my own brother,” Huo Huai Sui said. “My fourth brother would never do such a thing.”
Lu Fengqing smiled, chatted with Huo Huaisui for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.
Although it was the weekend, everyone else in the Lu family was busy, and only Old Master Lu was at the old house.
When Lu Fengqing arrived at the Lu residence, Old Master Lu was taking a nap. Lu Fengqing did not disturb him, but instructed the housekeeper, Uncle Chen, to inform her when the old master woke up, and then went back to her room.
Although she had taken a shower before leaving the hotel at noon, she was still wearing yesterday's clothes. Lu Fengqing took out clean clothes and took another shower.
There were no marks visible on the skin outside the clothes, but there were marks everywhere under the clothes in places that were not easily visible.
Lu Fengqing took a deep breath and mentally gave that bastard a good beating.
She can't beat someone in person, but can't she beat them in her mind?
Lu Fengqing came out of the shower and was drying her long hair in her room when the maid knocked on the door and said that the old man had woken up.
Lu Fengqing responded, put down the hairdryer, and went downstairs with her hair half-dry and half-wet.
Hearing the noise, Old Master Lu, who was sitting in the living room, looked up and his gaze softened. "Why did you suddenly come back?"
"I missed you." Lu Fengqing walked to Grandpa Lu's side and squatted down, nestled on his lap just like when she was a child.
"You..." Old Master Lu shook his head helplessly.
He looked up and winked at Uncle Chen, who was waiting to the side. Uncle Chen turned and walked away, returning with a dry towel in his hand.
The old man held his granddaughter's hair in his hands and carefully wiped it for her.
The living room was quiet for a moment.
Lu Fengqing remained motionless, feeling the old man's hand pass through her hair, and her nose tingled with emotion.
She has had long hair since she was a child. Long hair is beautiful, but she is also really lazy. Every time she washes her hair, she loses patience before it is completely dry. When she was young, her grandparents were always worried that she would catch a cold, so they would always follow her with a dry towel and help her dry her long hair.
At that time, their hands were strong, but their movements were very gentle.
Now that my maternal grandmother is gone, although my maternal grandfather is still alive, his hands are not as strong as they used to be, and his movements are very slow.
Looking at his obedient and well-behaved granddaughter, Grandpa Lu felt both angry and heartbroken when he thought about what she had done.
But more often than not, there is nothing that can be done.
Every family has its own troubles. He doesn't have many days left to live, and what he hopes to see most is harmony and prosperity in the family, even if it's just a brief period of peace while he's still alive.
He didn't have time to do anything more. He had already made his will, and all he could leave his granddaughter in the end was a comfortable life in his later years.
Grandpa Lu blinked his moist eyes and gently asked Lu Fengqing if she had encountered anything fun or interesting in City C.
Lu Fengqing then picked out a few interesting things to recount, especially the part about her going to the ice rink to make up the numbers, omitting Gu Suixing's name, and described it in detail. When they heard that she had scored the puck into her own goal, not only the old man but even the butler couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing enough, Grandpa Lu asked if he had met any interesting people.
Lu Fengqing knew what her grandfather wanted to hear. "There are two. One is the young master of the Lin family in City C, and the other is the eldest young master of the Xie family."
Old Master Lu didn't know anything about the Lin family in City C, but he did know about the eldest son of the Xie family.
That was Gu Jinhong's eldest daughter, Gu Zhenying's eldest son.
After a moment of silence, Grandpa Lu asked, "What does Niannian think of them?"
“Everything is fine,” Lu Fengqing said with a smile. “However, Young Master Lin is only in his early twenties, several years younger than me, and still has the mentality of a child. As for the eldest young master of the Xie family, I haven’t said many words to him, but he gives me the feeling that he is somewhat like my older brother.”
Old Master Lu thought for a moment, “Our family is not familiar with the Xie family, but I have heard some things about them. The Xie family is a family of scholars, and their character and conduct are naturally impeccable. However, the Xie family no longer arranges marriages and advocates free love. If you have your eye on that young master of the Xie family, you will have to try to win him over yourself.”
Lu Fengqing was both amused and exasperated.
When did she say she had her eye on the eldest son of the Xie family?
Grandpa Lu put down the towel, stroked his granddaughter's hair, and said with a kind expression, "Grandpa received the things that Niannian bought for Grandpa. But Grandpa is old and can't wear so many new clothes. Next time, Niannian, just buy some for yourself."
"Niannian, you must take good care of yourself and be happy."
Lu Fengqing seemed to realize something, her smile faded, and she responded softly.
Tomorrow is Monday, and she has to go to work at the Gu family's company. Lu Fengqing did not stay overnight at the Lu residence. She had dinner with Old Master Lu and then left.
On her way back, Lu Fengqing received a call from Lu Fenghe.
Lu Feng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "You and Gu Suixing got back together?"
Lu Fengqing was taken aback. "No."
Lu Fenghe: "I received news that the Gu family intends to form a marriage alliance with the Qin family."
