Upon hearing his grandson's words, he knew that his son was clearly protecting Jian Ruoxi.
The old lady glanced at Lu Shen, "Whatever you say is right, you always have a reason, and Grandma can't argue with you."
Then the old lady looked at Jian Ruoxi's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, and said indifferently.
"Eat if you want. I didn't say the Lu family wouldn't even give you a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Jian Ruoxi immediately stuffed the small cake into her mouth.
The old lady suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her eyes.
She's already a popular actress, so why is her behavior still so unseemly?
Don't her fans mind?
"Is this hawthorn?" Jian Ruoxi asked the maid behind her, pointing to the food on the plate in front of her.
"Yes, everyone remembers that Miss Jane used to love eating hawthorn balls, so she specially asked the kitchen staff to buy hawthorns and develop a new style."
"Miss Jane, would you like to try some?"
Jian Ruoxi looked troubled.
She used to really like eating hawthorn.
For this reason, she would even go out and buy a lot of hawthorn balls to stock up and eat slowly.
Because of this incident, the old lady had scolded her many times before, feeling that such things were not worthy of appearing on the Lu family's dining table.
Seeing that Jian Ruoxi hesitated to pick up her chopsticks.
The maid was a little nervous.
"Don't you like this dish?" the maid asked cautiously.
"no."
She knew it was the servant's kindness, using hawthorns as a gift to welcome her.
She didn't want to disappoint them, but her current physical condition didn't allow her to eat things like hawthorn.
She quit smoking as soon as she found out she was pregnant.
"I still like hawthorn, but I haven't been feeling well lately, and the doctor told me not to eat it."
The maid spoke gently and quickly bowed to her in apology.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Jane, we were unaware of this."
Li Anran, who was standing to the side, spoke up leisurely.
"Not feeling well? Ruoxi, that's too simplistic of you."
Why not just tell them that you actually...?
She had been pregnant herself, so she knew that pregnant women shouldn't eat hawthorn.
In severe cases, it could directly lead to miscarriage.
Someone as cautious as Jian Ruoxi would naturally not dare to touch her easily.
Her last words were more of a test.
Let's see if Jian Ruoxi has any intention of using the baby in her belly to do something.
"Li Anran, you still have time to worry about what I eat?"
"Why don't you take a look at the four people behind you first?"
Before Li Anran could finish her sentence, she immediately cut her off.
The old lady must not know about the pregnancy under any circumstances.
Jian Ruoxi placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
She knew the old lady quite well; what the old lady hoped for most was that Lu Shen could have a son as soon as possible.
If she knew that she was pregnant with Lu Shen's son, she would do anything to take the child away from him.
This is something she absolutely will not allow.
Sure enough, Li Anran's face turned green when the mention of the four servants behind her who were always watching her closely came up.
Jian Ruoxi was openly mocking her.
However, what she said does seem to make sense.
If I want to regain my freedom, I must first get rid of these four tails.
"Grandma, why don't you get rid of these four servants?"
"The servants you usually provide me are already enough."
"I really don't need that many."
Lu Shen happened to be there too, so she decided to bring this up in front of everyone.
With these four people around, it's inconvenient for her to go anywhere.
If their whereabouts were leaked, it would be extremely detrimental to both her and the base.
"With another person taking care of you, I can feel at ease."
The old lady didn't even raise her head, she just said it in a calm tone.
Let's keep an eye on An Ran for now; this might be a good opportunity to get to know her better.
Perhaps I was truly deceived before, failing to see the true thoughts hidden beneath the surface.
Is this old woman trying to openly spy on her?
Li Anran turned to look at Lu Shen, hoping she would speak up for her.
However, Lu Shen's eyes were practically glued to Jian Ruoxi, and he didn't even glance in her direction.
She sat up directly from her seat.
"Grandma, I'm full, I'm going home now."
After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for the old lady to speak.
No one even tried to persuade them to stay.
But after Li Anran left, Jian Ruoxi felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Because the old lady was watching her the whole time.
Seriously? When did the old lady start caring so much about her?
They even watch her eat?
"Madam, aren't you going to eat?"
What, you can get full just by looking at her?
Does she really have that ability?
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Eat your food, why do you care so much?"
Jian Ruoxi was utterly astonished.
The key point is, with you watching me like this, even if I have a great appetite, I can't eat.
The old lady's eyes were full of doubt.
She observed that Jian Ruoxi only ate light meals throughout the meal.
I don't taste the sour and spicy flavors at all.
This is not like her usual taste.
And just now.
What did An Ran mean by what she didn't say?
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it."
The meal was eaten in an eerie atmosphere.
Nighttime, airport.
A man in a suit got off the plane.
"Ran Jie, I've arrived. Where's the person you sent to pick me up?"
