Chapter 256 Don't you have a boyfriend?
"Don't say that," Grandma Lin tried to help Zhou Ruolan up. "It's not that serious."
"Xi Xi, quickly help your mother and brother up," Grandma Lin said, unable to pull Zhou Ruolan up, and wanted Lin Xi to come and help.
Lin Xi walked to the other side of Zhou Ruolan and knelt down as well. The three of them kowtowed to Grandma Lin in unison.
Zhou Ruolan looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "From now on, I will treat you as my own mother."
"Alright, my good girl, get up quickly!" Grandma Lin said with a smile and a nod. "I'll be your godmother."
Zhou Ruolan called out "godmother" and then stood up, while Lu Yunzhou also called out "grandmother".
"Good, good, good," Grandma Lin wiped her moist eyes, "My good fortune is all in the future, when I get old, my family will be prosperous."
Grandma Lin only saw Lin Xi's biological mother and brother, but not her biological father. There must be a reason for this, but she didn't ask any further questions to avoid making things awkward for everyone.
However, after the meal, Zhou Ruolan brought up Lu Zhentao's matter on her own, speaking to Grandma Lin alone.
After hearing this, Grandma Lin sighed, "What a tragedy. Don't pay any attention to him; he deserves to suffer."
Zhou Ruolan nodded, "I will never forgive him, but for some reasons, I can't divorce him yet. Anyway, half of my life is already over, so it doesn't matter if I drag it out for another half."
Grandma Lin didn't know what to say. They were all women with hard lives, and it was because they had too much sense of responsibility that they made their lives so difficult.
But if she had to choose again, she would either never get married or have children in the first place, but once she had children, she would still work hard for them for the rest of her life.
Zhou Ruolan is in the same situation now; she can't live entirely for herself, as she also has to consider her son and daughter.
Being able to do what I can for my son and daughter is a kind of happiness.
After the visit, Zhou Ruolan left with her two children.
Jiang Nian followed them out of the villa.
Lu Yunzhou drove Zhou Ruolan there himself, and Lin Xi rode in another car belonging to the Lu family.
Jiang Nian didn't know which car she should take, and was about to ask when she heard Lin Xi make the arrangements.
“Mom, let’s ride home together,” Lin Xi said, pointing to the car she had come in, and then pushed Jiang Nian next to Lu Yunzhou. “Let your brother take Jiang Nian home; it’s not safe for her to be alone as a girl.”
Zhou Ruolan saw Lin Xi wink at her, then looked at Lu Yunzhou and Jiang Nian standing together. Their height and appearance were quite well-matched. She seemed to understand what Lin Xi meant, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu Yunzhou thought he had misheard; he was being asked to take the bodyguard home?
He glanced at the stunned Jiang Nian. She'd be unsafe on the road? Any man who had designs on her would be the one who'd be in danger.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Lu Yunzhou asked Jiang Nian, raising an eyebrow.
Jiang Nian shook her head vigorously, "No need, I can go back by myself."
“Brother, Jiang Nian is a girl, and a pretty one at that. Can she beat one man, or even a group of men?” Lin Xi frowned and said, “Don’t you know how to cherish a woman?”
Lu Yunzhou scratched his eyebrows and asked Jiang Nian, "Where do you live? Is it a men's prison that attracts a bunch of men?"
Jiang Nian was speechless. She shrugged and said, "It wasn't me who said that. You should ask Xixi."
Lu Yunzhou looked at Lin Xi, his eyes asking her what she meant.
Lin Xi snorted, "Mom, look, my brother is going to bully me."
"Yunzhou, just do as I say, stop talking so much nonsense," Zhou Ruolan glared at Lu Yunzhou, annoyed by his lack of self-control. "Hurry up and go, Xixi and I are leaving first."
Zhou Ruolan and Lin Xi got into the car and left, leaving Lu Yunzhou and Jiang Nian looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What kind of bewitching potion did you give my mom and sister?" Lu Yunzhou asked Jiang Nian, arms crossed.
“I didn’t,” Jiang Nian said innocently. “I was fed more.”
She's been eating a lot of delicious food lately.
Lu Yunzhou opened the passenger door. "Get in!"
"Huh?" Jiang Nian didn't move. "Boss, I can take a taxi myself. You don't need to take me."
"Get in the car, don't make me say it a third time." Lu Yunzhou opened the driver's side door and got in.
He didn't want to see Jiang Nian off, but his mother and sister had spoken up, so he had no choice but to go. He didn't know what the mother and sister were thinking.
For the sake of a stable source of income, Jiang Nian had no choice but to obey and get on the bus.
"Where are you going?" Lu Yunzhou asked in a deep voice.
Jiang Nian gave the address of her new home, "Longjiang Jiayuan, boss, do you know that place? Or I can send you the location."
Jiang Nian forwarded the location Jiang Hongbo had sent her to Lu Yunzhou.
Lu Yunzhou thought he had misheard. The houses in Longjiang Jiayuan were not cheap, and he also owned a house there.
He glanced at the location Jiang Nian had sent on his phone; it was Longjiang Jiayuan, the place where he had bought his house.
"You live here?" Lu Yunzhou asked in confusion. If you can afford to live in a house there, why do you have a part-time job?
“First day here,” Jiang Nian said, “It’s a newly rented apartment.”
"You have the money to rent a house there?" Even if you do, it won't be cheap, Lu Yunzhou asked, raising an eyebrow.
Jiang Nian nodded. "I just reunited with my sister. My brother-in-law seems to be quite wealthy. I've also made a lot of money from you recently, which should be enough to cover the rent."
Lu Yunzhou wasn't interested in Jiang Nian's family affairs, so he didn't ask any further questions.
"Boss, are any of your bodyguards single?" Jiang Nian was still thinking about her own marriage.
Lu Yunzhou glanced at her sideways, "You want to be a matchmaker?"
“No, I don’t have that kind of time,” Jiang Nian said. “I want to volunteer myself.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou glanced at her again and asked, "Don't you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet," Jiang Nian replied, but she would find one as soon as possible.
Lu Yunzhou snorted coldly, "You're quite concerned about your own affairs, quite proactive."
"I just want to experience what it's like to be in love." Jiang Nian wanted to know if what was written in the novel was true.
Lu Yunzhou's next words extinguished Jiang Nian's hopes: "My employees are not allowed to have office romances, including bodyguards and part-time workers."
Bodyguard and part-time job? It's practically like they're just calling her by name. Jiang Nian rolled her eyes where Lu Yunzhou couldn't see.
Lu Yunzhou could see everything clearly in the rearview mirror. He was still single, so how could he let his bodyguard date? It wasn't enough for him to be fed dog food at home; he had to keep eating it at work. Did they want to choke him to death?
Lu Yunzhou parked the car at the entrance of Longjiang Jiayuan residential area. "We're here. Do you need me to take you upstairs?"
“No need, my home is on the first floor,” Jiang Nian unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and waved to Lu Yunzhou. “Thank you, boss. Goodbye, boss.”
After saying that, she turned and ran away.
Lu Yunzhou didn't drive away immediately; he had a craving for a cigarette and lit one up.
After smoking two cigarettes, just as he was about to close the car window and drive away, someone walked over and knocked on the window. "Yunzhou, what are you doing here?"
