Lu Jingnian himself didn't care, but he didn't want the Jiang family and Jiang Yue to suffer from these gossips, so ever since they got married he had been thinking about buying a house for Jiang Yue outside.
So sometimes Jiang Yue didn't want to live in the family compound, nor did she want to go home, but she ended up living in the house she bought.
Jiang Yue didn't object to Lu Jingnian wanting to buy a house, but she was a little worried about the mission Lu Jingnian mentioned.
"Didn't you say before that you would try to avoid missions?"
"How long has it been? Your injuries haven't even fully healed, and you're already going on another mission?"
Jiang Yue looked distressed, but also a little suspicious. "Lu Jingnian, you didn't ask to go on this mission just to earn money to buy a house, did you?"
There are bonuses for completing missions.
"No, this was a task assigned by someone higher up."
Lu Jingnian explained softly, while also reminding Jiang Yue, "Besides, we have the money to buy the courtyard. Have you forgotten the stocks I asked you to buy last time?"
If he hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Yue would have almost forgotten.
Has that stock gone up yet?
Jiang Yue quickly asked.
"After we get back and settle our master in, I'll take you to the stock market and you'll see."
Lu Jingnian didn't tell Jiang Yue directly, planning to give her a surprise later.
The two first went downstairs to their car to retrieve the gifts they had bought for Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu, before going upstairs to see them.
...
Upstairs in the room.
After receiving Xu Moxiang's call last night, Mrs. Lu was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
I get up before dawn to pick out clothes and put on makeup.
She hadn't been feeling well these past few days, and her face was very pale. Madam Lu didn't want Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue to see her like this, fearing they would worry, so she specially put on makeup.
Sitting on the sofa, Mrs. Lu excitedly grasped Mr. Lu's hand.
"Honey, do I look good in this dress?"
"Won't Yueyue and Anian like it?"
"This is their first time visiting us. How should I greet them?"
"Oh, right, and you too. You look too much like Anian. He doesn't know about our relationship with him yet. You should hide yourself so he doesn't see you."
"What if you scare my Anian?"
Mr. Lu was both amused and exasperated by what he heard. He said helplessly, "Qintong, you underestimate our son. Do you really think he doesn't know who you are?"
“If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t have brought his daughter-in-law to see you today.”
Lu's father hasn't returned to the capital these past few days because he's been investigating Lu Jingnian's affairs.
What Lu's father found out was shocking. His son was far more outstanding than he had imagined, and it also made him feel even more sorry for him because Lu Jingnian had suffered so much as a child.
"Qintong, our son is very outstanding. He knows far more than we think. The fact that he chose to bring his wife here today shows that he is prepared to meet me."
We're prepared to be honest with him; as for his choice...
Mr. Lu sighed softly as he spoke, "Let's give him some time and try to understand him, okay?"
After all these years, we haven't been by his side. He's suffered so much, and his thoughts are definitely different from ours. We need to put ourselves in his shoes and try to understand him.
The child has been found; other things can wait.
Moreover, he already knew that Lu Jingnian would soon be going on a very dangerous mission, and he had tried to stop him, but without success.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips as she listened to Mr. Lu's words.
“I understand. I won’t force Anian to make a choice. It’s already a blessing from God that I was able to find him. As long as he’s alright, I’ll do anything.”
Even if her son doesn't acknowledge her, Madam Lu won't blame Lu Jingnian. She just hopes to see Lu Jingnian often.
"Knock knock knock!"
The sound of knocking on the door made Mrs. Lu jump up excitedly.
"Honey, it must be Anian and Yueyue. I'll go open the door."
Madam Lu walked quickly to the door and excitedly opened it. When she saw Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian standing outside carrying things, she couldn't help but tear up.
"Yueyue, Jingnian, you're here! Come in quickly..."
Mrs. Lu excitedly reached out and took Jiang Yue's hand.
"Yueyue, I heard you were sick a few days ago?"
Are you feeling better?
"It's all over now." Jiang Yue nodded with a smile, letting Madam Lu take her hand and lead her into the house.
Jiang Yue was slightly taken aback when she saw Lu's father come out from inside.
"Jingnian, Yueyue, it's so great that you could come. Your Aunt Liang has been talking about you these past few days. We are so happy that you could come."
Mr. Lu greeted them as if they were ordinary friends, but his attitude was much warmer than that of ordinary friends.
Jiang Yue glanced at Lu Jingnian discreetly, and seeing him greet his father with a normal expression, she looked away and smiled as she spoke to Madam Lu.
"Aunt Liang, this is a gift that Jing Nian and I brought for you. I heard from Xiang Xiang that you haven't been feeling well these past few days, so we specially bought some tonics for you."
"This scarf was picked out for you by Jing Nian. Do you like it, Auntie?"
Jiang Yue took out the items and handed the scarf to Madam Lu.
"Did Jing Nian choose this for me?"
Looking at the scarf in her hand, Mrs. Lu's eyes immediately reddened.
Her son must care about her too, otherwise why would he specially choose a scarf for her?
The color of this scarf suits her perfectly; it's clear she chose it with care.
“These tonics were also selected by Jing Nian,” Jiang Yue said.
Jiang Yue saw the scarf, but the tonics were indeed chosen by Lu Jingnian, including some traditional Chinese medicine pills he specially bought for Madam Lu from a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to strengthen her body.
When Jiang Yue was shopping with Lu Jingnian, she realized that Lu Jingnian actually cared a lot about Madam Lu, but his childhood environment made him unsure how to face his family.
Having been married to Lu Jingnian for so long, Jiang Yue had long since realized that Lu Jingnian was a very upright person. Although he seemed cold, he would never refuse to help anyone who asked him for help, as long as it was within his ability.
However, he was not very warm to anyone, even Jiang Zhenguo, whom he respected the most. Lu Jingnian treated him like a leader, only speaking when there was something to discuss and never bothering him otherwise.
Jiang Yue felt that Lu Jingnian's current intimacy with her was entirely due to her shameless flirting.
"Jing Nian, thank you."
Mrs. Lu held the scarf tightly in her hand, looking at her son who had grown taller than her father. She wanted to go over and hug him, but she was afraid that doing so would be too abrupt and would make her son dislike her.
"Jing Nian, do you have time?"
Mr. Lu smiled and said to Lu Jingnian, "I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Can we go to my room to talk?"
Lu Jingnian glanced at Jiang Yue and then nodded.
"Can."
Seeing his nervousness, Mr. Lu tried his best to smile gently, "Don't be nervous, I'm just saying a few words."
(I saw some cuties said they wanted to see Hua Hua and Political Commissar Yu, don't worry, they'll be here soon!)
Yueyue and Battalion Commander Lu won't be too cruel, okay? Goodnight everyone!
