Just as Shen Huaiyuan called, Madam Lu returned from outside carrying her things.
Lu Yuanting called her at noon today to tell her that he was going to have dinner at the old house that evening, so Mrs. Lu went out in the afternoon to buy some things for Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
Upon hearing the phone ring, Mrs. Lu hurried over to answer it without even putting down what she was holding.
On the phone, Shen Huaiyuan's voice came through, "Excuse me, is this the Lu family?"
My name is Shen Huaiyuan, and I am Jiang Yue's maternal uncle. I am looking for Mr. Lu Yuanting. Is he in his position?
When Mrs. Lu was in City A, she heard Jiang Yue mention her uncle, Shen Huaiyuan, but because Shen Huaiyuan was very busy at that time, she did not meet him in person. She only heard that Jiang Yue did business with him.
"Oh, it's Yueyue's uncle. Hello, I'm Yueyue's mother-in-law. Yuanting hasn't come back from work yet. Yueyue's uncle, is there something urgent you need to see Yuanting about?"
I can give you his company's phone number.
Madam Lu was very polite to her in-laws.
"Hello, Mrs. Lu." Hearing that Mrs. Lu answered the phone, Shen Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm calling to tell you about Yueyue."
Mr. Lu isn't here, so telling you will have the same effect.
Soon, Shen Huaiyuan recounted Jiang Yue's experiences at Pudu Temple, including her pregnancy.
"Bang!"
After hearing Shen Huaiyuan's words, Madam Lu dropped what she was carrying to the ground, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
She knew about Pudu Temple. In those years when she couldn't find Lu Jingnian, she had gone to Pudu Temple in despair and climbed that path, hoping that Buddha would bless her to find her son soon.
However, she couldn't persevere and fainted before she had climbed halfway down the mountain. Lu Yuanting carried her down the mountain.
Many people have worn out their knees on such a long mountain road and still haven't made it to the top. How did Yueyue, a girl who was pregnant, manage to persevere?
Madam Lu couldn't imagine how Jiang Yue had managed to persevere. She only knew that her daughter-in-law had gone to such lengths to pray for her son's safe return...
Jiang Yue's affection for Lu Jingnian is unmatched by anyone in the world, including herself.
"Uncle Yueyue..."
Mrs. Lu's hands were trembling as she held the phone, her urgent voice choked with sobs and anxiety, "Where is Yueyue now?"
We're going to find her right away. Please take good care of Yueyue these next few days. We'll be there soon.
Yueyue is injured and definitely needs someone to take care of her, so she must get there as soon as possible.
“Madam Lu, please don’t worry. Yueyue is currently at Pudu Temple. The abbot has already treated the wound on her leg. Yueyue is in good health, and the baby in her belly is also doing well.”
Shen Huaiyuan's purpose in making this call was not to have the Lu family come to see Jiang Yue. He just felt that Jiang Yue had done so much for Lu Jingnian, and the Lu family should know about it.
Only when they know what Jiang Yue has sacrificed for Lu Jingnian will they cherish Jiang Yue more and treat her well.
With a sigh, Shen Huaiyuan continued, "However, the abbot said that there are gains and losses. For the sake of Jingnian and the child in her belly, Yueyue developed a chronic knee problem. In the future, whenever it gets cold, her knees will ache unbearably, and in severe cases, it will even affect her walking."
Madam Lu, Yueyue didn't want me to tell you about this, she was afraid you would worry about her, but as Yueyue's uncle, I can't watch my niece sacrifice so much for Lu Jingnian while he knows nothing about it..."
"I see."
Madam Lu nodded, "Uncle Yueyue, thank you so much for making this call. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have known that this fool would go to such lengths for Jing Nian..."
How could Yueyue be so silly?
"Just know about this, I will take good care of Yueyue, don't worry."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Huaiyuan quickly hung up the phone.
He dared not let Jiang Yue know that he had called the Lu family. In order to find a perfect excuse for himself to come out, Shen Huaiyuan asked the monks in the temple where the kitchen was after leaving the meditation room, and then quickly went to the kitchen.
Jiang Yue had been climbing the mountain all day and hadn't eaten or drunk anything. She would definitely be hungry and thirsty when she woke up, so Shen Huaiyuan went to prepare some vegetarian food for her.
...
The Lu family.
After hearing Shen Huaiyuan hang up the phone, Madam Lu, without bothering to tidy up the things that had fallen on the floor, quickly called her father.
"Lu Yuanting, come back immediately. Something has happened to Yueyue. We need to go to F City right away."
On the phone, Mr. Lu heard his wife's sobbing and anxious voice and stood up in shock. "What happened to Yueyue?"
"Qintong, don't worry, I'll be right back."
Before leaving, Lu Jingnian instructed his father to protect Jiang Yue.
Mr. Lu knew that Jiang Yue had gone to F City a few days ago with Shen Huaiyuan. He had someone investigate Shen Huaiyuan, who was very capable. Jiang Yue should not encounter any danger with him.
But unexpectedly, only four or five days later, Jiang Yue had an accident.
"Yueyue went to Pudu Temple to pray for Jingnian's well-being..."
Although Mrs. Lu was crying, she quickly and briefly explained the situation to Mr. Lu, who was completely shocked after hearing the whole story.
"Yueyue... Yueyue climbed up?"
Mr. Lu had accompanied Mrs. Lu to Pudu Temple before and knew how difficult the road was. Even he, a grown man, couldn't make it up. How did Jiang Yue manage to do it?
"Qintong, don't cry, I'll be right back."
Knowing that things couldn't be delayed, Mr. Lu immediately packed his things and left.
It was right around the time he was supposed to get off work, otherwise he wouldn't have walked so fast.
...
Jiang Yue was unaware of Shen Huaiyuan's phone call.
When she woke up, she found herself in a very clean meditation room, with Shen Huaiyuan sitting next to her.
"Uncle..."
When Jiang Yue spoke, her hoarse voice sounded like a torn rag, dry and unpleasant, which startled even herself.
"Yueyue, you're awake."
Seeing that Jiang Yue had woken up, Shen Huaiyuan's face lit up with joy.
"Uncle, do you have any water? I'm very thirsty."
Jiang Yue's throat was really sore, and she really wanted to drink water.
"Yes, wait a moment." Hearing Jiang Yue say she was thirsty, Shen Huaiyuan quickly poured a glass of water and brought it over. Afraid that it would be inconvenient for Jiang Yue to drink, he thoughtfully put a straw in the glass for her.
"Thank you, Uncle."
As Jiang Yue watched Shen Huaiyuan approach with water, she tried to sit up, but as soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her knee, making her gasp and almost cry out in pain.
