Chapter 272 Who is he?
Jiang Hongbo took out a small porcelain bottle from his shirt pocket, poured out a few small black pills, popped them into his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Alright, Yan Yan, you can talk now."
“Niannian has found a boyfriend,” Jiang Yan prepared to tell them step by step, “It’s the boss she saved. Jingming and I both know this boss. He’s Jingming’s cousin and his aunt’s son. I met his aunt today. She said she’s coming to visit you two tomorrow to discuss Niannian’s marriage. Their family’s idea is to register the marriage after Niannian turns 20.”
Jiang Yan told the whole story in one breath, and Jiang Hongbo and Luo Guixia were frozen in place, their mouths agape.
They were frantically processing the information in Jiang Yan's words.
Seeing that they didn't react, Jiang Yan waved her hand in front of their eyes, "Dad, Aunt Luo, did you hear that?"
Jiang Hongbo was the first to recover. He closed his mouth, blinked, and said, "Yan Yan, you're not joking with us, are you?"
"Of course not, why would I joke like that?" Jiang Yan said with a smile. "You may not know about Jingming's cousin's background. His name is Lu Yunzhou, and he is currently the chairman and president of Lu's Group."
"He is a year younger than Jingming, and a bit older than Niannian, but he is young and handsome. His looks, height, and temperament are comparable to Jingming's."
"Yunzhou also has a younger sister, who is a freshman in the same major as me at the same school. Her boyfriend is the sole heir of Huayue Group."
“Yunzhou’s mother and sister are very satisfied with Niannian. They both approve of this marriage, so you don’t need to worry about Niannian having conflicts with her mother-in-law after she marries into the family.”
Jiang Yan's words left the elderly couple stunned. Luo Guixia looked at Jiang Hongbo and said, "Old Jiang, pinch me! Am I dreaming?"
Jiang Hongbo pinched Luo Guixia's thigh and asked considerately, "Does it hurt?"
Luo Guixia nodded numbly, "It hurts!"
“Then it’s not a dream,” Jiang Hongbo breathed a sigh of relief, “it’s real.”
“I was worried that someone with Niannian’s personality would have a hard time getting married,” Luo Guixia said with emotion. “I never expected that she would get married at the age of twenty and marry such a good man.”
As Luo Guixia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. "Old Jiang, you gave birth to these two daughters to repay your kindness. Although we had a tough time when we were young, we are blessed to enjoy our old age."
"You've had the hardest time all these years," Jiang Hongbo said, tears streaming down his face, as he held Luo Guixia's hand tightly. "You've never abandoned me, and you've single-handedly supported this family."
“If you hadn’t saved me back then, I would have been dead long ago,” Luo Guixia said, resting her head on Jiang Hongbo’s shoulder. “I didn’t marry you for your money. I swore then that I would love you forever, whether in riches or poverty, in health or sickness, and never abandon you, until the last moment of my life.”
"Thank you, wife!" Jiang Hongbo patted Luo Guixia's head.
Jiang Yan and Zhou Jingming were forced to witness a display of affection. They looked at each other and saw deep love and emotion in each other's eyes.
Zhou Jingming held Jiang Yan in his arms and whispered, "I will love you until the last moment of my life."
“Jingming…” Jiang Yan’s heart was as calm as a stream at this moment. Only a love that flows gently and steadily can last through one’s entire life.
Unlike the Jiang family's excitement and感慨, Zhou Ruolan, Lin Xi, and Jiang Ran were cheerful.
The mother and her two children went on a shopping spree, buying whatever they thought was suitable without even looking at the price.
Not only Lin Xi, but Jiang Ran also felt great. "Auntie, I have to come shopping with you again next time. Whenever I want to buy something, my brother always asks me for advice."
“Haha,” Zhou Ruolan laughed, “Your brother will have to support his wife and children in the future. If you want anything in the future, just tell your aunt and I will buy it for you.”
"Auntie, you're so kind," Jiang Ran put her arm around Zhou Ruolan's shoulder and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. "I love you!"
Although it was the first time Zhou Ruolan and Jiang Ran had met, they were of the same blood. Zhou Ruolan adored her niece and kissed Jiang Ran, saying, "Auntie loves you too."
Lin Xi, standing to the side, pouted and said, "You guys are so mean! You're showing affection right in front of me. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"
"We all love you!" Zhou Ruolan and Jiang Ran smiled and kissed Lin Xi's cheeks on either side.
"That's more like it." Lin Ximei said.
The three of them bought two shopping carts full of items. After paying, their bodyguards carried the items and followed them out of the mall.
Jiang Ran followed Zhou Ruolan and Lin Xi back to the Lu family. She planned to stay at her aunt's house for one night and then visit the Jiang family the next day.
The three of them walked into the villa chatting and laughing. Suddenly, Zhou Ruolan stopped and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Seeing Zhou Ruolan's reaction, Lin Xi glanced at the living room and also noticed the strangeness in the house.
Jiang Ran didn't know what had happened, and her whole body tensed up. "What's wrong?"
Lin Xi's expression turned serious, and she silently uttered a name to Jiang Ran: Lu Zhentao.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and silently followed behind Zhou Ruolan with Lin Xi.
Lu Zhentao sat on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by several bodyguards. He closed his eyes and rested his hands on his knees.
Zhou Ruolan walked over with a sullen face, stood opposite Lu Zhentao, and asked coldly, "What are you doing back here?"
Lu Zhentao opened his eyes, his gaze sharp. He first looked at Zhou Ruolan, his wife.
After this period of recuperation, Zhou Ruolan is much more energetic than before, and her complexion has improved.
Lu Zhentao was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had returned to eighteen years ago. He stood up and took a step closer to Zhou Ruolan, "I've come back to see you."
After speaking, Lu Zhentao turned his gaze to Lin Xi, his tone softening, "Xi Xi, won't you call me Dad?"
Lin Xi's eyelashes trembled. She didn't know how to face her biological father. She longed for her father's love, but she also hated Lu Zhentao for ruining her childhood and almost ruining her entire life.
She simply couldn't bring herself to say "Dad."
“What right do you have to make Xixi call you ‘Dad’?” Zhou Ruolan spoke up for Lin Xi. “Have you ever raised her? Have you ever loved her? Where were you when she was most afraid and in the most danger? You were probably in your mistress’s bed!”
“Ruolan…” Lu Zhentao sighed, knowing he was in the wrong. “Don’t mention that woman again. I was wrong. I’m sorry to you and Xixi.”
“If apologies were enough, the world wouldn’t need police or prisons,” Zhou Ruolan turned her face away, refusing to look at him. “What brings you here today? If you want to hear someone call you ‘Dad,’ you’ve come to the wrong place.”
Lu Zhentao finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Ran, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes. He pointed at Jiang Ran and asked, "Who is he? Did you deliberately bring him here to provoke me?"
