Faced with Mr. Lu's unreasonable behavior, Lu Yunxiao felt a little headache. The old man's stubbornness was as strong as ever.
Lu Yunxiao controlled his temper and spoke to Old Man Lu in a gentle tone, "There's nothing between us, so why are you calling it treason?"
Mr. Lu couldn't believe his ears. Even at this moment, he still dared to shirk responsibility. "I... I saw it all? You still dare to quibble!"
Lu Yunxiao: "..."
He wanted to ask him what he had seen that made him so sure. His clothes were not messy and he was not breathing heavily. Just that ambiguous posture made him associate so many random things.
With this kind of thinking, why don’t you become a writer? It’s a waste of talent.
Lu Yunxiao looked at Mr. Lu's stubborn expression and asked in a compromising manner, "Then what do you want to do?"
"Get married! Take responsibility!"
"no!"
As soon as Mr. Lu made his proposal, Bai You rejected it decisively.
Lu Yunxiao's face suddenly darkened. Although he hadn't thought about getting married so early, her attitude of rejecting him without even considering it still made him inexplicably angry.
Seeing that Lu Yunxiao didn't refuse, Mr. Lu's expression improved a little, then he turned his head to look at Bai You and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Xi, you don't have to be afraid. Grandpa Lu is here, and he will support you!"
This is not a question of whether to support or not, nor is it a question of whether to marry or not.
There is clearly nothing between them, so why are they talking about marriage?
Bai You organized his words and then said, "Grandpa Lu, Mr. Lu and I really don't have anything. Did you misunderstand?"
The smile on Mr. Lu's face gradually disappeared. For the first time, he looked at Bai You with a cold and serious gaze.
Bai You looked at Mr. Lu, whose expression changed in an instant, and asked in confusion, "Lu...Grandpa Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Old Master Lu sneered, looked at Lu Yunxiao, then at Bai You, and then he suppressed his anger and said, "So you are acting? You have been deceiving an old man like me from the beginning to the end? Promising me to give it a try was also a lie?"
Bai You's face froze and he shifted his gaze guiltily.
Lu Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Lu. What was he planning?
He didn't know about others, but no one knew Mr. Lu's character better than him. It was impossible for him to get angry about such a small matter.
I guess it was that heartless guy Kuang who put on this drama again.
Bai You really didn't expect that Mr. Lu would think of this through this incident. It was true that they had lied to him.
Bai You coughed, then said to Mr. Lu: "Grandpa Lu, listen to me, we are not..."
"Forget it, do whatever you want."
Before Bai You could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Lu, his tone full of disappointment.
Bai You felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Mr. Lu shook his head, then sighed and said, "In the final analysis, I was asking for too much. I forgot that your society today is different from ours. Marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers."
"Your grandfather entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you. Before you were twenty, I don't know what kind of magic potion the Mu family had poured into you. No matter what I said, you were unwilling to accept my gift."
"After so much trouble, an accident finally made you see the truth and see the true faces of those three members of the Mu family. That's when I thought about not letting you suffer anymore. I'm old and can't protect you forever. The only person I trust in this world is Lu Yunxiao. I just wanted you two to be a couple so he could protect you well. But I forgot that love can't be forced. I asked too much and I was inconsiderate."
There was no blame in Mr. Lu's words, but the disappointment revealed in his words made Bai You feel very uncomfortable.
She pressed the hand on Mr. Lu's crutch and said sincerely, "Grandpa Lu. When two people are involved, they don't necessarily have to be husband and wife. They can also be relatives and friends. I call you Grandpa Lu, and you will always be my Grandpa Lu. If I am in danger, I think Mr. Lu will not stand idly by. Even if we are not together, we can take care of each other. Don't worry."
Mr. Lu was still in a very depressed mood. It seemed that after accepting the fact that they were acting, he had lost his spirit and seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
Bai You felt really uncomfortable and looked at him wanting to say something else.
But Mr. Lu didn't give her the chance and stood up directly with the help of his crutches. "It's getting late. I should go take my medicine. If you're hungry, ask the kitchen to make you something to eat. I'm old and not very strong, so I'll rest first."
Bai You and Lu Yunxiao stood up and wanted to support him, but he waved his hand to refuse.
"Although my legs are disabled, I still have my hands. I can hold on with a cane, so you don't have to worry."
Bai You stretched out his hand in the air and slowly lowered it.
She could feel the indifference in Mr. Lu's words, but she didn't know what to say, and she looked very uncomfortable.
Old Master Lu didn't care about Bai You and Lu Yunxiao's reactions. After he finished speaking, he staggered up the stairs with the help of his crutches.
When the housekeeper saw this, he hurried over to support him.
This time he didn't refuse and obediently used the butler's help to go upstairs.
Not letting Lu Yunxiao and Bai You support him was simply because he was angry or disappointed.
