Madam Lu?
It's plausible that she was waiting for Lu Shen, but to say that she was waiting along with him is also a stretch.
It all sounds rather strange.
"Me too?" Jian Ruoxi pointed to herself in disbelief.
Could it be that the maid misspoke?
Even if the old lady's attitude towards her has improved a bit these past two days, it wouldn't change so quickly, would it?
"Yes, the old lady specifically asked about you."
Although the old lady did not mention Miss Jane's name directly, they heard it clearly in the hall at the time.
There will be no one else but Miss Jane.
If this trend continues, the old lady might soon accept Miss Jane.
There is hope that the young master and Miss Jane will get back together.
"Let's go, don't keep Grandma waiting."
Lu Shen smiled as he looked at Jian Ruoxi, who had a look of astonishment on her face, and walked ahead first.
Grandma's transformation is all thanks to his hard work.
"Okay, I understand."
Jian Ruoxi quickly followed behind.
She hadn't even taken two steps when she couldn't help but ask herself a question in her mind.
"Really, why am I being so obedient?"
"He told me to leave, and I just left. It makes me seem like I have no backbone at all."
Thinking of this, Jian Ruoxi unconsciously slowed her pace.
Even if we have to go in, we can't listen to him.
Noticing that the woman behind him had slowed down, Lu Shen turned around and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Does Ruoxi still harbor resentment towards the Lu family?
"No, it's nothing."
The resistance that had been planned in mind vanished without a trace after hearing Lu Shen speak.
Lu Shen stopped and extended a hand to her, waiting for her to come forward.
Jian Ruoxi's gaze fell ahead.
The dim yellow light shining from the old house shone on Lu Shen's palm, even though there were still one or two people between them.
She could also feel the warmth he wanted to convey.
But can she really accept this warmth?
What if I fall in the same place again? Wouldn't that be a bit too silly?
"Ruoxi?" Lu Shen called out softly.
For some reason, even though Ruoxi was only a few steps away from him, he felt as if she was about to disappear.
Ruoxi, how can I keep you here?
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."
"Let's go inside first."
She walked towards Lu Shen's direction, her gaze lingering on his outstretched hands for a moment.
Finally, reluctantly, she closed her eyes and walked past his hand.
Lu Shen tried to grab her hand, but could only touch a corner of her clothes.
He sighed heavily; there was still a long way to go between him and Ruoxi.
“I was going to be content,” he said to himself.
Now that things are like this, Ruoxi can be under his nose and he can see her at any time, which is already very good.
"But I'm always too greedy."
"I want more."
The maid had been following them at a distance, and when she saw Jian Ruoxi go inside first, she was a little confused about what had happened.
"Huh? It was fine just now?"
"Did the young master and Miss Jian have a fight?"
They speculated on several possibilities, but none of them seemed quite right.
In the end, it was the older servant who stopped their conversation.
"Alright, now that the young master and Miss Jian are here, let's stop standing here gossiping."
"Hurry up and go to the lobby to wait, dinner is about to start."
The servants didn't dare to delay and quickly followed them inside.
As soon as Jian Ruoxi stepped into the Lu family's hall, she heard a woman speak in a sarcastic tone.
"Why is Ruoxi so late?"
"Xiao Jin and I are young, so we can afford to wait."
"Grandma is getting old, she can't wait up for you this late every time."
The old woman must have been a little bewitched lately, which is why she's been treating Jian Ruoxi a bit better.
If she puts in a little more effort, she believes she can soon make the old lady continue to dislike Jian Ruoxi.
This was an extremely simple thing for her.
Li Anran secretly vowed to herself that she would find an opportunity to kick Jian Ruoxi out again.
Jian Ruoxi ignored Li Anran and turned away without even looking at her.
Being targeted as soon as I got back is really affecting my mood.
"Madam, next time please leave the door open for me and have the servants wait for me."
She could ignore Li Anran, but Old Madam Lu's attitude towards her had indeed improved considerably in the past two days.
In addition, the old lady had only looked down on her and said some unpleasant things, but had not caused her any real harm.
She wasn't a petty person, and she wouldn't hold a grudge against an elderly person.
She continued to explain, "Later, when I was busy with work, I would stay up this late."
"It's still early today."
The old lady looked somewhat surprised.
This was the first time she had realized that acting could be so hard.
Isn't this something you can just memorize the lines for?
The look in her eyes as she looked at Jian Ruoxi gradually changed.
not good!
Even after Jian Ruoxi said all that, the old woman wasn't angry.
A warning bell rang in Li Anran's mind.
Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had a new idea.
"Ruoxi, how could you say that?"
"You mean, Grandma's kind waiting for you to come back was unnecessary?"
Lu Jin glanced at Li Anran beside her with disgust and moved two steps to the side.
She needs to stay away from people like that.
