Meng Jingdong occasionally glanced at her. She had been lying there for such a long time, her eyes moving back and forth, and no one knew what she was thinking.
In Lu Chengyang's ward
Lu Zhengyang brought Yu Ningxuan to visit the patient. Yu Ningxuan wore a pink dress and a sweater of the same color. She looked petite and cute yet dignified.
"Brother, I brought my girlfriend to see you."
Lu Chengyang raised his head from the report and smiled gently: "Come in and sit down."
Yu Ningxuan hesitated for a moment as she looked at the white hair on his temples, but she didn't feel comfortable calling him "brother". She smiled shyly and walked into the ward with Lu Zhengyang.
"Hello, my name is Yu Ningxuan."
Hearing this familiar name and looking at the young girl's face that was exactly the same as in the information, the smile on Lu Chengyang's face suddenly faded. He raised his eyes and looked carefully at the two people standing side by side. Lu Zhengyang was thirty-five years old, in good health and looked almost young. Standing next to the twenty-year-old Yu Ningxuan, he did not look old, but... thinking of the relationship between Lu Tian and Yu Ningxuan, he frowned deeply.
Yu Ningxuan was very nervous. This was her first time meeting the Lu family. If Lu Zhengyang's eldest brother had any objections to her, the two elders of the Lu family would not agree.
Lu Zhengyang noticed his frown and said jokingly, "Brother, you wouldn't mind me being an old cow eating young grass, would you?"
"No, Miss Yu, please take a seat." Lu Chengyang said politely.
Yu Ningxuan sat down nervously, clutching the corner of her bag and not daring to say anything. Lu Chengyang noticed her little movement and asked calmly, "Ms. Yu, have you graduated?"
"I, I'm a junior this year." Yu Ningxuan stuttered. Before she came here, she had heard about Lu Chengyang's legendary history and admired him very much. She thought he would be an easy-going person, but who would have thought that his every move would be so frightening. She secretly tugged at Lu Zhengyang's sleeve.
Lu Zhengyang didn't understand why his elder brother was so cold and stern, but how could the little girl he had always loved be treated coldly? He received the signal and took the initiative to adjust the atmosphere: "Brother, you are not listening to the subordinates' work reports, why are you so serious?"
Lu Chengyang seemed to realize his mistake and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I scared Miss Yu."
"No, no." Yu Ningxuan denied in a low voice, trying hard to force a sweet smile, but she felt that although Lu Chengyang said sorry, his attitude had not actually changed, and the occasional glance he gave her was serious and cold.
Yu Ningxuan finally relaxed after they walked out of Lu Chengyang's ward. Lu Zhengyang held her hand and was startled: "Xuanxuan, why are your hands so cold?"
It wasn't just her hands; Yu Ningxuan's entire body was cold. Lu Chengyang wasn't very friendly, and the air conditioning in the room was very low. But neither man noticed anything unusual about her. She was worried. Lu Zhengyang said, "Your eldest brother doesn't seem to like me very much."
"What does it matter whether Big Brother likes you or not? It's enough that I like you." Lu Zhengyang didn't care much. He was an independent man and didn't rely on his family.
But, Lu Chengyang should have a lot of say in the Lu family, right?
When the two left the hospital, they actually ran into Meng Jingdong in the elevator. As soon as she saw him, Yu Ningxuan immediately lowered her head and didn't look at him, her cheeks flushed.
Lu Zhengyang and Meng Jingdong grew up together almost since childhood and have a good relationship. They greeted each other and chatted for a while.
Meng Jingdong asked: "Did you go to see your uncle?"
"Yes, you always call me uncle and respect my elder brother very much. Why don't you call me uncle?" Lu Zhengyang asked dissatisfiedly.
"Then I've called him uncle since I was a child. Who says you're only five years older than me?"
They had been discussing this topic since they were young, but they had never succeeded in getting Meng Jingdong to call him uncle. Lu Zhengyang didn't dwell on it and mentioned Lu Tian intentionally or unintentionally: "I met her last time when Xuanxuan and I went to dinner. Have you taken her to meet my eldest brother? When are you having your wedding? Maybe we can have it together!"
"There's no need to hold it together." Isn't this relationship complicated enough?
"I've already brought her to see my uncle. You guys have something to do and leave first. I just happened to come and see him."
Lu Zhengyang nodded indifferently. After the three of them separated, he noticed that Yu Ningxuan hadn't said anything. He asked considerately, "Don't worry. As long as my parents agree to our relationship, my brother won't say anything. Besides, I don't live at home."
"But Mr. Meng and Lu Tian are together. Will your family have any opinion about me because of this?" Yu Ningxuan bit her lip. After all, she was not the legitimate granddaughter of the Gu family. The strength of the Yu family alone was not a good match compared to the Lu family. What's more, the Meng and Lu families were good friends. If the Meng family was dissatisfied with her, how could the Lu family accept her?
"The Meng family's actions won't affect my family, not to mention..." Lu Zhengyang sneered, "Besides, are Meng Jingdong and Lu Tian really a loving couple?"
Yu Ningxuan was confused: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zhengyang patted her head, full of love and pity: "Don't worry about these things, just be my little princess. If Lu Tian dares to embarrass you, I will make her lose face."
"What's going on? Brother Zhengyang, just tell me." Yu Ningxuan was extremely curious. If she could get something on Lu Tian, she wouldn't be afraid of not being able to hold her head up in front of her in the future.
"Kiss me and I'll tell you."
Yu Ningxuan blushed, but she was curious. She moved over from the passenger seat and kissed the corner of his mouth. It was rare for Lu Zhengyang to see her take the initiative to kiss him, so he rushed over, hugged her in his arms and kissed her hard. Finally, he whispered the inside story of Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong's marriage in her ear.
"This matter concerns the reputation of the Meng family. You can't spread it easily, but at least you can control Lu Tian and prevent her from making things difficult for you. If she really goes too far, come and tell me, and I will go to discuss it with Meng Jingdong. She can't just disobey Meng Jingdong, right?"
Yu Ningxuan was very grateful: "Brother Zhengyang, you are so kind."
Lu Zhengyang enjoyed her flattery very much. He rubbed her head and started the car and left the hospital parking lot before she got angry.
In the hospital ward
Lu Chengyang and Meng Jingdong discussed a project, and after finishing the work, they mentioned Lu Zhengyang and his girlfriend Yu Ningxuan.
"When did they get together?"
Meng Jingdong smiled bitterly: "Uncle, how can I know their movements?"
Lu Chengyang pinched his brows and sighed, "Why did it have to be Yu Ningxuan? Lu Zhengyang is really something. He found a girlfriend and brought her home without saying anything. He was afraid that his parents would blame him, so he came to me first."
Because Lu Chengyang could best understand the pain of lovers being torn apart, Lu Zhengyang was certain he would help. But if Lu Chengyang helped them, what would happen to Lu Tian? She had been treated unfairly in the Gu family, so would she be treated the same way in the Lu family? Absolutely not!
"What are you going to do?"
"Let me have someone look up Yu Ningxuan's details first. Does Lu Tian know about their relationship?"
"He should know. Lu Zhengyang said Lu Tian had seen them."
This time it was Lu Chengyang's turn to smile bitterly. What should he do with this messed-up relationship? Should he, as the eldest brother, force the couple to break up? Lu Chengyang couldn't do that. His mother was much better at that.
