Lu Shen still hasn't come back tonight.
Jian Ruoxi sat in the living room, glancing at her front door every now and then, a sense of anxiety rising in her heart.
A whole day has passed, is Lu Shen still angry? No way, when did he become so petty? Did something happen at the company? Or did he run into trouble somewhere else?
Jian Ruoxi's mind raced, and she grew increasingly restless. But she couldn't simply go to the Lu Group to find Lu Shen and see what was going on.
Jian Ruoxi was clearly distracted, which quickly attracted the attention of Li Anran and the old lady.
"Jian Ruoxi, what are you thinking about that's distracting you? The old lady is right here, and you can still be daydreaming in front of her. Do you not respect the old lady at all?"
Li Anran felt she had finally found an opportunity and immediately began to criticize Jian Ruoxi in front of the old lady.
Since the old lady has never liked Jian Ruoxi anyway, if she stirs things up and further damages Jian Ruoxi's image in the old lady's eyes, the old lady will definitely dislike Jian Ruoxi even more. In this way, Jian Ruoxi will be one step closer to being kicked out of the Lu family.
Jian Ruoxi was preoccupied with worrying about Lu Shen and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Li Anran's sarcasm. But how dare Li Anran so blatantly use the old lady to intimidate her? Did she really think she was an easy target? She was just using the old lady's authority to her advantage; the old lady hadn't even spoken yet, and she was already complaining.
"Even the old lady hasn't said anything bad about me, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Jian Ruoxi smiled faintly, too lazy to say anything more to her, and kept glancing at the door from time to time, waiting for Lu Shen to return.
"you!"
Li Anran was angered by her obviously disrespectful attitude. She turned to look at the old lady and began to complain to her face, "Old lady, look how arrogant Jian Ruoxi has become. She doesn't respect you at all. I've pointed out her faults, but she won't listen."
The old lady really didn't want to talk to Li Anran.
Why is Jian Ruoxi so distracted? Can't you tell? The way she keeps glancing at the door, she's clearly waiting for someone.
Who else can she wait for in this family?
Isn't that Lu Shen, who still hasn't gone home yet?
How come you, as a fiancée, are so indifferent to your fiancé? I don't see you worrying about him at all.
You even used her to make things difficult for others right in front of her; you've really mastered the art of bullying others.
And yet, after being rebuffed, she still had the nerve to come to me complaining, looking all wronged.
You really don't know how to be embarrassed.
If it weren't for her upbringing and age, the old lady would have really wanted to give Li Anran a disdainful look and tell her to stay out of the way and not bother her.
However, it seems that Jian Ruoxi does have feelings for their A-Shen, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried about him now. This is what it should be like to like someone! Unlike Li Anran, who doesn't care about A-Shen at all.
It's amazing, she doesn't feel disgusted by Jian Ruoxi's current behavior anymore. If it were before, she probably would have despised Jian Ruoxi.
Because of Jian's feelings for A-Shen, the old lady felt for the first time that she could generously help her.
We need to get Li Anran away, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble she might cause.
"Alright. Neither of you can give me a moment's peace. Especially you, Jian Ruoxi, all you do is annoy me!"
The old lady glanced at the two of them with feigned impatience.
Jian Ruoxi was clearly flustered by the old lady's sudden reprimand. She was about to apologize when she was interrupted.
"Alright, out of sight, out of mind. You can wait downstairs by yourself. No one is allowed to stay here with her. Li Anran, help me back upstairs. I need to rest."
The old lady stood up as she spoke.
"Alright, Madam, I'll help you upstairs right away!"
Li Anran was overjoyed.
It seems her words had an effect! The old lady indeed dislikes Jian Ruoxi even more now, and she's even more likely to kick Jian Ruoxi out before the wedding!
Li Anran happily helped the old lady upstairs. The servants in the hall, obeying the old lady's orders, also dispersed, not daring to linger.
Soon, Jian Ruoxi was the only one left in the entire lobby on the first floor.
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to obediently stay in the hall as the old lady had instructed, which would also allow her to wait for Lu Shen to return.
Upstairs, the old lady had just entered her room when she waved for Li Anran to leave.
"Alright, you should go back to your room and rest. You've been busy at the company all day, and you're a young lady, you should get some rest. I have maids here, they know better than you how to take care of me."
"Yes, Madam. You should get some rest too. I'll head back now."
Li Anran couldn't wait to leave. She didn't want to stay and take care of anyone.
How could Li Anran's thoughts possibly escape the old lady's notice? She watched Li Anran's cheerful departing figure and snorted in annoyance.
"Is the old lady deliberately trying to get Li Anran away?"
After Li Anran had walked away, the servant closed the door and quietly asked the old lady.
She could tell that the old lady was clearly dissatisfied with Li Anran, but she didn't understand what the old lady was up to tonight.
"This girl is in the way and an eyesore here. What's the point of keeping her here? Besides, can't you see she's eager to leave?"
The old lady gave Li Anran a cold laugh and then instructed her, "Go and call Ah Shen right now. Tell him that Jian Ruoxi, a pregnant woman, is sitting in the lobby downstairs and refuses to come up. The servants can't persuade her no matter what they do. Tell him to come back immediately."
The maid finally understood the old lady's intention and couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Madam, so you were creating an opportunity for the young master and Jian Ruoxi to be alone. What's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly want to help Jian Ruoxi?"
She wondered why the old lady had left Jian Ruoxi all alone in the lobby on the first floor and why she had made excuses to send Li Anran away. It turned out that she was waiting here all along.
But didn't the old lady always dislike Jian Ruoxi and even more so, dislike her being involved with the eldest young master? Why did she suddenly change her mind tonight and decide to help them get together?
"I decided to help her because I saw that she genuinely cared about Ah Shen. You saw how worried Jian Ruoxi was about Ah Shen. Can you say that girl doesn't have any real feelings for Ah Shen?"
The old lady looked completely at ease, not feeling that there was anything wrong or inappropriate about her behavior. "Anyway, I think she's much more sincere than that girl Li Anran. Look at Li Anran, has she reacted at all to the fact that A-Shen hasn't come back?"
“The old lady is right. On this point alone, Jian Ruoxi is indeed much better than Li Anran.”
The servant genuinely agreed.
She couldn't refute that.
"In short, I'll help her this time, but this is a one-time thing. Whether she can seize this opportunity is up to her."
