Lu Jingheng was surprised that Old Master Xu would bring this up directly. He was somewhat taken aback, but he also knew that the old man wanted to protect Ru Bao.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, I know about this..."
Xu Jinnan was taken aback, his brows furrowing involuntarily. "You know? How did you know?"
Could it have been spread by family members? Even if they disliked Ru Bao, they wouldn't tell anyone for the sake of the Xu family's reputation.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, the person Ru Bao met in Qiwu Mountain was me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinnan slammed his hand on the table, causing the brush holder and brushes on the table to shake.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Lu Jingheng looked at the old man's stern face, veins bulging, and knew he was willing to take responsibility for what he had done.
“At the time, I was in my villa in Qiwu Mountain because of my health condition, and Ru Bao accidentally wandered in. Grandpa, I absolutely did not mean to hurt her, but please rest assured, I will take responsibility, I will treat her well, and I will never let her down.”
Xu Jinnan's expression remained extremely grim after hearing this. "Abao doesn't know about this?"
She returned home in a disheveled state, but she didn't say anything.
"She probably doesn't know, it was too dark that night. Grandpa, I really like her, so please grant my wish."
"This is outrageous!"
Xu Jinnan was furious just thinking about it, but now it seemed that she had no other choice but to marry him.
Lu Jingheng knew he was wrong; at the very least, he hadn't gotten A Bao's consent.
In fact, she still doesn't know about this, and Lu Jingheng hasn't figured out how to tell her yet.
"Lu Jingheng, do you really like her?"
Lu Jingheng nodded seriously, "Yes, at first I was just curious about her, but after getting to know her better, I realized I wanted to marry her and spend my life with her. Grandpa, I will protect her and love her for the rest of my life. Please give me a chance."
"Let's see what happens. Get out."
Xu Jinnan is getting a headache just looking at him; he can't process this matter right now.
He never imagined that the bastard he had been secretly hating for so long was actually him.
Now, he says he wants to marry Ru Bao.
Lu Jingheng was worried that he might upset the old man and cause health problems, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. "Grandpa, calm down. I will take full responsibility for this matter. I'll go out now."
He also knew that the old man would be angry if he found out about this.
However, there's nothing he wouldn't admit to doing.
When Lu Jingheng came downstairs, he saw Xu Rubao looking at him nervously.
She came over. "What did Grandpa say to you?"
She glanced at Lu Jingheng, then looked up at the upstairs and found that her grandfather had not come down.
"It's alright, don't worry. I'll be leaving now."
Xia Lanying heard that he was leaving and thought she should ask him to stay for dinner.
However, seeing that he insisted on leaving, they didn't say anything more, but had some gifts prepared for him to take back.
The Xu family didn't have much of anything except medicinal herbs, so she had someone select some of the best ones.
Xia Lanying asked Xu Rubao to see him off. Xu Rubao also had a question she wanted to ask him alone, so she nodded and followed him to the courtyard outside.
"Are you and Grandpa really alright? I didn't see Grandpa come down. Did you two have a fight? I'm warning you, you absolutely can't upset him, or I'll never forgive you."
