The two lingered downstairs at the hospital for a while, and Lu Yunzhang said many nice things, making Lu Xue'er feel dizzy and even more optimistic about the marriage.
"Huaijun, I'll go upstairs first. Grandpa still needs me. I also wanted to tell him about our plans to get married." Lu Xue'er checked the time.
Qin Huaijun smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
"Oh, right, these are some pastries I bought for you on my way here. They're a bit cold." He touched the box of pastries, looking apologetic.
Lu Xue'er was pleasantly surprised that he remembered to bring her something when he came.
At that moment, she didn't care whether the pastries were cold or not. "It's okay, I'll use them for dinner."
As Lu Xue'er walked into the hospital carrying the pastries, she glanced back.
Qin Huaijun hadn't left yet, standing at the door looking at her tenderly. Lu Xue'er pursed her lips and walked firmly toward Old Master Lu's ward.
Huai Jun is right. People should think about themselves and not sacrifice themselves for their families.
Tan Yan has clearly refused to marry into the Lu family. It was all just wishful thinking on her grandfather's part. She knew that with her grandfather's methods, getting her engaged to Tan Yan would be a very simple matter.
But what happens after the engagement?
What happens after marriage?
She had heard of Tan Yan's reputation; he was no different from Qin Yushen—both were cold-hearted and ruthless.
If she marries Tan Yan with her grandfather's help, she will definitely end up like Lin Wanwan, alone in her empty room, complaining about her fate.
She clearly has a fiancé who cares for her, loves her, and is devoted to her.
The Qin family isn't exactly poor, and besides, her future father-in-law has already risen to the position of mayor. With the Lu family's connections, entering the inner circle is only a matter of time.
Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao have only a so-so relationship with the Qin family, and since her future mother-in-law is in charge of the Qin family, her life after marrying into the family will definitely be better than marrying Tan Yan.
Grandpa, please forgive my selfishness.
Lu Xueer stood at the door of the ward, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared herself before pushing the door open and going in.
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you..." she said firmly, with utmost seriousness.
Two minutes later, the guard ran out and called the doctor.
It turned out that Old Master Lu had fainted from anger.
Lu Xue'er felt a little guilty, but she still remembered what Lu Yunzhang had told her to take good care of the old man, so she stayed at the hospital and didn't leave.
Regardless of how much Lu Xue'er would be scolded after Old Master Lu woke up, Qin Huaijun turned and left after Lu Xue'er disappeared at the hospital entrance, riding his bicycle towards the courtyard where he kept his mistress.
On the way, he couldn't hide the cold smile on his face.
If he hadn't overheard the conversation between Grandpa Lu and Lu Xue'er, he probably would have remained completely unaware that he had been jilted.
Do you want to dump him and find someone better?
Is Qin Huaijun some kind of despicable person who lets them manipulate him?
Originally, my visit to the hospital to see Lu Xue'er was a test, hoping to get some information out of her: was the Lu family really doomed, and was Lu Yunzhang's career in the military coming to an end?
After all, everyone knows that Lu Yunzhang is the hope of the Lu family.
If Lu Yunzhang is finished, then the Lu family is not far from its downfall.
The scandal involving the Lu family not only affected Lu Yunzhang, but also Lu Yunzhang, the prospective son-in-law of the Lu family. The old man who had previously favored him has recently become somewhat indifferent.
Qin Huaijun knew that he didn't want to get involved in trouble because of the Lu family's affairs.
Fortunately, he was quick and efficient. The day after his birthday, he visited the old man and used his connections to transfer out of the Ministry of Commerce. He also built up some connections in the Ministry of Education.
If the Lu family is truly doomed, he must cut his losses in time and avoid being implicated.
But after overhearing the conversation between Old Master Lu and Lu Xue'er, he realized that the rumors about the Lu family's downfall were false, and Lu Yunzhang's position in the army remained secure.
As long as they can weather this storm, the Lu family will remain a prominent family in Beijing.
With Lu Yunzhang as her brother-in-law, Qin Huaijun would never give up on Lu Xue'er, and Lu Xue'er would never get rid of him.
Qin Huaijun had an even smarter idea.
As long as he stays with the Lu family through the harsh winter, spring will always await him in the future, and the Lu family will genuinely treat him as family.
As the saying goes, it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
Qin Huaijun hummed a song in a good mood.
"Huaijun, what good thing happened? You seem so happy." Hearing the familiar knocking, Fang Yao quickly put on her clothes and went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, I saw Qin Huaijun's smiling face.
In her memory, Qin Huaijun had never smiled at her so brightly. Her expression was somewhat dazed, but her tone couldn't help but rise.
Qin Huaijun's smile vanished, and he stepped inside expressionlessly. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't."
“...Yes.” Fang Yao’s eyes dimmed, and she closed the door behind her.
When I walked into the living room, I saw him sitting on the sofa, so I quickly poured him a cup of tea.
Qin Huaijun picked up the teacup, took a sip, then frowned and smashed it on the ground. "How can you drink something cold? I think you've had too much of a good life and don't know how to serve people anymore."
Fang Yao's eyes showed some hurt, but she still bent down and picked up the teacup. "I'm sorry, I'll make you some hot tea."
"I'm not drinking anymore."
"Come here." He looked at Fang Yao.
Fang Yao looked at him with adoration and obediently walked over, only to be slapped by Qin Huaijun.
"You bitch, I've been licking your boots like a dog all this time, and you dared to dump me? I'll kill you sooner or later."
One slap after another, and in the end, they even kicked him.
He vented all the anger he had suffered at Lu Xue'er on Fang Yao.
