Chapter 20 Provocation
Because her hand was injured, Nanny and Taoli kept a close eye on her every day.
She was always ready for anything, even when she looked at the account book, after she finished reading a page, Taoli would turn the page for her.
Jiang Ran was lying on the bed bored, it was really boring.
She rolled over again and sighed.
The bad impression of fishing one day and drying the nets for three days left on the master.
While she was recuperating at home, she did not forget to instruct the apprentices in the wood carving workshop to send some delicious food every day.
After all, she still hopes these junior brothers will help her more in the future.
"Miss, there's someone..." Taoli hurried into the yard, shouting as she ran.
"Who?! Who came to see me?" Jiang Ran jumped off the bed.
Ever since he was ridiculed by the Xu family last time, Jiang Chuan felt like he had taken the wrong medicine and went to Qingshan Academy to study that day.
I thought he was just in a spur of the moment situation, but he never came back. Instead, he sent someone to pack up some clothes and take them over. It seemed that he was really determined to start studying hard.
She was so bored that she would just walk along the wall and mutter to herself. Even the dog next door thought she was too talkative.
Even if it was Lin Buqiu who came today, she would still chat with him for a few minutes.
"It's Lu Yu! He's standing at the door yelling that he wants to see the young lady."
"I'll do as the young lady said and tell him that Lu Yu and dogs are not allowed to enter our Jiang Mansion."
"Well, well said!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran was about to applaud her, completely forgetting the injury on his hand, and grimaced in pain.
"Miss, don't move, be careful." Taoli hurried forward to support her, with an indignant look on her face.
"Lu Yu refused to leave the door, saying that if the young lady didn't see him, he would spread the news about the bookstore."
Jiang Ran was so angry that he stamped his feet. Why didn't he realize before that Lu Yu was a shameless villain.
From the beginning, she had never intended to hide the fact that she opened a bookstore.
On the contrary, she was the first to share the idea of opening a bookstore with Lu Yu.
That day she excitedly found Lu Yu, told him her idea, and showed him the script she brought with her.
She will never forget Lu Yu's contemptuous look.
"vulgar."
"What are you like when you study? Do you need me to remind you? Jiang Ran, where do you get the confidence to compete with other bookstores?"
Jiang Ran was so depressed by his blow that he was depressed for several days.
It was not until Xu Roujia found her and took out all her private money and said she wanted to invest that Jiang Ran regained her spirits.
So, when the bookstore started to do well, Jiang Ran immediately went to Lu Yu excitedly to share his thoughts.
She desperately wanted to let him know that she could do it and that she was not useless.
"Our Lu family will never accept a mistress who engages in business. Showing up in public all day is a job only lowly people would do."
He still didn't acknowledge her, but instead forced her to close the bookstore.
Jiang Ran didn't listen at the time, but started organizing a vote for the dream lover of the Chang'an girls, and even paid out of his own pocket to vote for Lu Yu in the top three every year.
Lu Yu appeared to be disdainful and openly expressed that he looked down upon such things, but in fact he was very pleased with himself, thinking that he was a very popular commodity.
She did not interfere with the voting this year, and Lu Yu fell out of the top ten.
It turns out that the person she was desperately chasing was nothing more than this.
Jiang Ran finally understood that if she kicked someone who never appreciated her, she would not lose anything.
"Let him in. I want to see what other nonsense he can say."
Jiang Ran walked to the outer courtyard, put his hands behind his back and ordered the door to be opened.
She would never let Lu Yu enter the house. Every step he took would pollute the air.
When Lu Yu saw her, he looked very proud and slowly walked towards Jiang Ran.
He knew that Jiang Ran always spoke tough, but in fact he must be looking forward to his coming.
"Lu Yu, you don't come here for no reason. If you have to fart, just fart now."
Jiang Ran looked at him coldly, with Tao Li standing next to him, looking angry.
"Jiang Ran, my uncle did you a big favor."
"It's fine if you don't even thank me, but you're too stingy to even invite me into your house?"
Lu Yu's carefree look reminded Jiang Ran of his childhood.
He had been naughty when he was little, but once he had grown a little wiser, he had taken Lu Weiqing as his role model, imitating him and boasting of his own brilliance. After he was about ten years old, he no longer showed this expression.
Jiang Ran knows him very well. When he starts to act like a rogue, it means that he feels he has something on you and is eager to make you admit something.
Very difficult.
"Tsk, Prime Minister Lu helped, what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Ran was extremely alert, trying to make his words even harsher.
"Did you ask him to rescue me, or to greet the Jinwu Guards for me?"
"I'm afraid he was too busy to do anything."
"Or maybe, he had no idea that I was in trouble and was busy being affectionate with Lin Buqiu."
"Now that the matter has been resolved, and you didn't contribute a bit, you still come to me and claim the credit. How dare you?"
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at him mercilessly, exposing all his excuses.
"Prime Minister Lu is my uncle."
"If it weren't for me, how could he help you?"
Lu Yu felt ashamed after being rebuked, so he tried to establish a relationship.
"Why can't he help me?" Jiang Ran felt that these words sounded particularly harsh.
"I know the inside story much better than you do, so you don't need to worry about it."
Hearing him trying to save face, I almost rolled my eyes.
Even if we consider face, it's Princess Le'an's face. He's just a little Karami, and he's forcing himself on her? How shameless.
"What face or no face? I think you don't even care about your dignity anymore."
"Taoli, show the guests out."
Lu Yu was shaking with anger. He didn't expect that Jiang Ran would still be stubborn.
She won't admit it unless you tell her the truth.
“Wait!”
"Jiang Ran, stop pretending. If you didn't have me in your heart, why would you prepare this?"
Lu Yu took out a white jade bookmark from his bosom, which was the one that Jiang Ran had customized at Huaishanju.
"this!"
"How did it get into your hands? Give it back to me!"
Jiang Ran's eyes were red with anger, this was what she wanted to give to Lu Weiqing.
She was still thinking yesterday that making the wooden bookmark was a long way off, so it would be more appropriate to go to Huaishanju when she had time to ask about the progress of the jade bookmark.
She didn't expect that Lu Yu would hold it in his hand. It was simply a desecration of her gift!
Seeing that she was anxious, Lu Yu thought that his thoughts had been exposed in front of him, and he became angry and embarrassed.
He carefully put the bookmark back into his arms and said proudly, "Jiang Ran, admit it. Do you want to wait until it's finished before you come to reconcile with me?"
Last time outside Qingfeng Building, Jiang Ran kicked him hard. God knows how sad he was.
He had gone to great lengths to see her, but he hadn't even spoken a few words.
Jiang Ran was good in every way except that she was too overbearing and didn't know how to yield. Being too stubborn was a recipe for failure; she really needed to work on her temper.
After that day, he was depressed for a long time. It was not until he learned that something had happened at Jixian Bookstore that he convinced himself that Jiang Ran had panicked and was so ruthless to him.
Just now, Lin Buqiu asked him to accompany him to Huaishanju to choose jewelry.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw him, he said that Miss Jiang had ordered another gift for him.
Lu Yu asked him to take it out and have a look. He could tell at a glance that it was the bookmark she had given him when he was a child.
He was so happy that he paid the balance on the spot.
He couldn't wait to send Lin Buqiu back home, so he came to find Jiang Ran and wanted to give her a surprise.
"Are you surprised? You didn't expect me to discover you, right? This is what it means to be in tune with each other."
"Fuck you, give it back to me!"
"Lu Yu, don't force me to do it."
Jiang Ran kicked Lu Yu, forcing him to take several steps back.
Lu Yu smiled instead of getting angry, and said confidently with a curled lip: "Jiang Ran, you must be shy. I don't blame you."
"I'll keep this bookmark as your apology to me."
He tiptoed lightly and climbed over the wall of Jiang Mansion, and blew a kiss before leaving.
"I'll give you a damn big head, stop!"
Jiang Ran almost vomited, yelled for someone to open the door, and quickly chased after him.
