Second Uncle Lu Yuanchen was worried that Grandpa and Grandma Lu were getting old, and what would happen if they couldn't handle something? After all, this was F City, not Kyoto.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuanchen, the second uncle, said, "Dad, you and Mom are getting old. Third sister-in-law has to take care of Yueyue and you. She can't manage it all by herself. Let Lu Yan stay as well."
Anyway, he's not busy lately, so it's perfect for him to stay here and take care of you.
Lu Yan, who has always had a low profile, rolled his eyes speechlessly upon hearing this. This really is his own father.
“Grandpa and Grandma, my dad is right. I have nothing to do if I go back, so let me stay here.”
Rather than going back to see his parents constantly showing off their love in front of him, it's better to stay here in peace and quiet.
Grandpa Lu nodded, "Then let Ayan stay as well."
After Uncle Lu and the others left, Jiang Yue calculated the time and figured that Shen Huaiyuan should have returned to City A by then. That very evening, she called Shen Huaiyuan.
The phone rang several times before Shen Huaiyuan answered it.
"Hello?"
Shen Huaiyuan's deep voice came through the microphone, "Who is this?"
Hearing his voice, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Good evening, Uncle."
"Yue...Yueyue?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's voice, Shen Huaiyuan was so startled that he almost threw the microphone away.
"It's me, Uncle." Jiang Yue's voice was tinged with laughter, but to Shen Huaiyuan, that laughter sounded like a death knell, terrifying.
"Uncle, are you home yet?"
Was the journey smooth?
How is the collaborative project progressing?
Jiang Yue smiled and asked three questions in a row. Shen Huaiyuan held the phone, cold sweat pouring down his face. He knew that this girl must have called to confront him.
"Everything went relatively smoothly," Shen Huaiyuan replied, his voice betraying his guilty conscience.
Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow as she listened. "That's good. Then please explain to me, Uncle, why you called the Lu family?"
Didn't I tell you before that we shouldn't tell our family about this?
"I didn't tell my family," Shen Huaiyuan argued. "I'm not familiar with the Lu family, so they can't be considered my family. At most, they're just relatives."
Jiang Yue: "..."
Shen Huaiyuan continued, "Yueyue, I know you don't want everyone to worry about you, but some things are not as simple as you think. Your uncle is doing this for your own good."
"You've done so much for Lu Jingnian, you should let the Lu family take your place. Only then will they protect and cherish you even more."
To put it bluntly, what if Lu Jingnian really doesn't come back this time?
If Yueyue gives birth and the Lu family tries to take the child, they won't be able to stop them even if they want to.
But if the Lu family finds out what Yueyue did, and something happens to Lu Jingnian, they might not be able to bear taking the child away from Jiang Yue because of how much Jiang Yue has sacrificed for Lu Jingnian.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yue listened to Shen Huaiyuan's words, remained silent for a long while, and finally sighed.
"Uncle, I know you mean well. I was impulsive this time. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself in the future and won't take risks so easily again."
You can tell the Lu family about this, but please don't tell my mom or grandma. Grandma has a heart condition, and I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.
Hearing Jiang Yue say this, Shen Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Yueyue, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone at home. I'll keep it a secret for you. But you also have to promise your uncle that you won't do things like this again if you can avoid it."
If something happens to you, think about how heartbroken your mother and grandmother will be.
Jiang Yue wanted to do charity work, and Shen Huaiyuan gave all his wealth to her to support her charitable endeavors without feeling any remorse.
Money is just an external thing; you can earn it back if you lose it.
But if Jiang Yue gets into trouble, no matter how much money you earn, it won't matter.
"I understand, Uncle. You should get some rest too."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her uncle hadn't told her family about her situation, everything was fine.
That evening, Madam Lu made pork bone soup for Jiang Yue.
After dinner, Jiang Yue walked around on the ground for a while, leaning on her crutches.
Although she can get out of bed now, her knees still hurt a lot when she walks, and she needs to practice slowly with crutches.
With Madam Lu's meticulous care and the fact that Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu didn't come to keep her company, Jiang Yue has been very happy these past few days, and her injuries have healed much faster.
In less than a week, she was able to throw away her crutches and move around freely.
At noon, after lunch.
Just as Jiang Yue was about to go upstairs, Lu Yan stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."
After spending a week together, Jiang Yue felt that Lu Yan was a pretty good person, humorous and witty, and very tactful in his actions.
It's obvious at a glance that they've been well-educated.
Hearing that Lu Yan needed her help, Jiang Yue was taken aback. "You need my help? What can I do for you?"
Jiang Yue couldn't think of any way she could help Lu Yan.
"Sister-in-law, let's go over there to talk."
Lu Yan pointed to the hotel lounge area not far away, where there were sofas. His sister-in-law's knee injury had just healed, and she might feel uncomfortable if she stood for too long.
Jiang Yue nodded and went with Lu Yan to the rest area not far away.
Lu Yan chose a window seat where he could see the snow scene outside, and then he ordered a hot milk tea for Jiang Yue.
After the hotel waiter brought the milk tea, Lu Yan smiled and said to Jiang Yue:
"Sister-in-law, although we've known each other for over a week, you might not be familiar with me yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lu Yan. In our family, I'm the sixth child, two years younger than Brother Jing Nian."
Jiang Yue took a sip of her milk tea without saying anything, and listened to him continue.
"I graduated from the Drama Academy of Z University, and I am a director."
As Lu Yan spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Jiang Yue, "Sister-in-law, this is my business card. After the policy was relaxed some time ago, I started my own film and television company."
I plan to invest in and direct my own film.
Jiang Yue took the business card from Lu Yan and frowned when she saw the name Phoenix Film and Television Company written on it. She had never heard of this film and television company before.
She had never heard of a director named Lu Yan. Of course, she wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry either. It was possible that Lu Yan's company wasn't very big, which was why she hadn't heard of him.
Jiang Yue looked up at Lu Yan, "I'm in the clothing business and don't know anything about filming. But if you need investment, I can help you."
No, no, no.
Seeing that Jiang Yue had misunderstood, Lu Yan quickly shook his head, "Sister-in-law, you've misunderstood. I have money and don't need to invest. I just wanted to ask you to tell me your story with Brother Jing Nian."
To be honest, I was deeply moved by your relationship when I heard that you came to Pudu Temple to pray for Brother Jingnian. I want to write it into a script and then make it into a movie.
