Xia Lanying rolled her eyes at Xu Jinnan, that old fogey, and gestured for Lu Jingheng to sit down.
Such a good man, and he's still not satisfied? Does he want Xu Rubao to marry into the royal family and become a princess?
Xia Lanying looked on, still somewhat incredulous. He was a diamond bachelor in Shanghai; was there something wrong with his eyes? Was that why he had taken a liking to that girl?
Lu Jingheng usually doesn't like to waste time talking to people. Xu Rubao watched from the side and found that he chatted quite well with the whole family, and didn't feel that he was unapproachable at all.
This person, when you talk to them, seems so approachable?
Originally, she was a little worried that he wouldn't get along well with his family.
It seems she was overthinking it.
Lu Jingheng then played two more games of chess with the old man. Xu Jinnan wasn't initially very satisfied with him, but after playing two games, his impression of him improved considerably.
A person's character is reflected in their chess skills; those with good chess skills are unlikely to have bad character.
Xu Ziyang didn't say much, he just watched silently.
Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he was far inferior to Lu Jingheng.
Before we knew it, time had flown by, and it was lunchtime.
Normally, the Xu family's meals are quite good, but today, to entertain Lu Jingheng, they are even more lavish, with abalone and sea cucumber among the dishes.
Xu Rubao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandfather seemed to have no objections to him.
If her grandfather has no objections, she can feel at ease dating him.
However, after lunch, Lu Jingheng was called into the study by his grandfather alone.
Xu Rubao didn't want to go in with him, wondering what her grandfather would talk to her about. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Xu Ziqing stood beside her and whispered, "Calm down, Grandpa will definitely agree."
Such a good man, if he took a liking to her, Xu Ziqing felt she could marry him immediately.
In the study, Xu Jinnan sat in a large chair behind the desk, while Lu Jingheng stood.
"Grandpa, why did you call me in? Is there anything you need?"
The kid called him that so affectionately, but Xu Jinnan wasn't buying it.
He shouldn't think that calling him "Grandpa" will trick Abao into leaving.
"I don't know what made you take a liking to Abao. There's nothing of value in her, and our Xu family is just a small, insignificant family. Even so, Abao is the apple of my eye, and I certainly won't let her be bullied."
"Grandpa, Abao is also my precious treasure. I am serious about her. I will take care of her and protect her. Please rest assured, Grandpa."
Xu Jinnan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "There's something else. I don't know if Abao has told you yet, but let me be clear: I don't want her to get hurt in the future."
"Grandpa, please say what you want to say directly."
“When Abao was in Qiwu Mountain, she was bullied by bad people. If you can’t accept that, you can leave now. But if you’re with her in the future, I won’t allow you to look down on her because of that.”
If it were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't have needed to say it aloud.
But this person is Lu Jingheng, and he feels that this matter cannot be kept from him.
Rather than letting others use this to attack Ah Bao in the future, it's better to say it outright now.
The Lu family is not like an ordinary family. Even if he protects her, there might be some people with impure motives who want to harm Abao.
He had seen his fair share of the power struggles and backstabbing within wealthy families.
