"Shijin." Tang Ruochu walked up to Lu Shijin and looked at him. "Done talking already?" Lu Shijin looked at both Ying Xiaoxiao and Song Anyi before he nodded. "Yeah, we're done talking." "What about Mofei?" She peered at the ward behind him and furrowed her thin eyebrows. "Grandpa is still talking to him," Lu Shengyao replied on the side. He looked at Song Anyi, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes. "Things aren’t very good. Be mentally prepared." "What do you mean by things aren’t very good?" Ying Xiaoxiao gave him a disgruntled pinch in the arm, and the pain made him yelp as he hastened to explain, "The doctor said that Grandpa's condition isn’t great, and his time may be up soon." "Seriously?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked. None of them had expected things to become so serious. Tang Ruochu looked worriedly at the silent Song Anyi and asked, "Did Grandpa say anything?" "About that..." Lu Shengyao glanced at Song Anyi before he said somewhat hesitantly, "Grandpa's inte
Hearing his gentle voice, her nose turned sore. Pursing her lips, she raised her head and wore a smile that made her pretty face uglier than tears would have. "I'm here." "Boss, Sis, I'll take Anyi home first." Shen Mofei turned his head to face Lu Shijin. Knowing that they were going to talk things over, Tang Ruochu nodded and said, "Go home first, then. We'll head back soon as well." Shen Mofei took Song Anyi by the hand and led her into the elevator. "Mofei!" Tang Ruochu suddenly shouted at him. Shen Mofei and Song Anyi stopped and turned back, only to hear her add, "Mofei, no matter what happens, remember that you still have us." Mofei slowly opened his mouth and broke into a silly grin, his eyes shining with a thankful gleam. After that, he continued to hold Song Anyi's hand and strode forward as a faint smile finally appeared on his handsome face. His sister-in-law's words were like a warm spring breeze that swept through his gloomy heart. As the gloom quickly disap
Grandpa Shen seemed different from what she had imagined him to be. She thought that he would be a strict person and did not expect him to look so genial as well as kind. Tang Ruochu could not understand how such a genial person could be so unkind? She walked over and greeted him, "Grandpa." Hearing that, Grandpa Shen smiled from ear to ear. "Girl, come over and let Grandpa have a look at you." Tang Ruochu obediently walked over, and the old man carefully studied her appearance. The more he looked at her, the more joy he felt. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Shijin. "Shijin, this girl has a wonderful face, and she matches you very well." In the past, he was always worried that this cold grandson of his would turn out to be someone who abhorred marriage. Now it seemed like his fated one just had not appeared yet back then. Lu Shijin walked over to hold Tang Ruochu's hand as he smiled and teased Grandpa Shen."Grandpa, when did you learn Physiognomy?" The old man resp
"Whether she is good or not, I can see for myself. I don't need you to tell me." Grandpa Shen was a little angry now. Tang Ruochu was not at all afraid. "Grandpa, people need to get along first before they know how good or bad a person is. How can you know that she’s good or bad just by looking?" "Shijin, take her and get out of here!" The initial joy Grandpa Shen had at seeing Tang Ruochu was totally gone at that point. Lu Shijin frowned slightly and spoke up for Tang Ruochu. "Grandpa, what Chuchu said isn't wrong. Mofei is no longer a child, and he has the right to choose his own life. So, I hope you can think about this." As he spoke, he turned to Tang Ruochu and said, "Chuchu, let's go back." Tang Ruochu knew that the old man was stubborn and that she might not be able to convince him quickly. "Grandpa, we'll head back first, then." Tang Ruochu politely nodded at Grandpa Shen, whose face had turned sullen, before she walked out the door with Lu Shijin. After they left
As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Before Anyi's matter was even resolved, another situation unfolded on Xiaoxiao's end. Uncle Ying had been taken away by the Corruption Investigation team for corruption and bribery. When Tang Ruochu heard about it, she was totally shocked. As far as she knew, Uncle Ying was an upstanding and principled person. How could such a thing happen? When Tang Ruochu rushed over to Xiaoxiao's place, Ying Xiaoxiao was comforting Aunt Ying who was crying her eyes out. "Mom, Dad isn’t that kind of person. I’m sure he’ll come home soon." Ying Xiaoxiao did not believe that her father would take the risk and do something that could harm himself when monitoring and inspection for corruption were so tight. "Xiaoxiao... if your dad..." Mrs. Ying was crying so hard that she could not even complete her sentence."Mom, don't overthink it. Trust Dad, and he’ll be back very soon." Ying Xiaoxiao patted her mother on the back and held her in her arms. Se
"Chuchu..." Ying Xiaoxiao rushed into her arms and cried her eyes out. Since she was afraid about distressing her mother who was already so worried about her father, she had been holding back. Now, before Chuchu who cared about her, she let all of her pent-up emotions out. Tang Ruochu gently patted her on the back and did not say anything. She simply kept her company in silence. ... "Looks like that old man still made a move." After Lu Shijin heard Mu Ling's report, a serious expression materialized on his handsome face. Xiaoxiao's father had suddenly been reported anonymously for bribery and corruption, but the case in itself was weird. When Chuchu requested his help to look into the matter, he immediately asked Mu Ling to investigate. With the investigation, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. "President, what should I do now?" Mu Ling appeared a little solemn too. He knew how complicated the dynamics in the Lu Family were, and he also knew tha
When Tang Ruochu got home from the Yings’ place, it was already ten at night. The moment she stepped into the house, she saw Lu Shijin sitting in the living room, waiting for her. Lu Shijin, who heard sounds of movement, turned over and looked at her warmly. "Why are you back so late?" "I was worried about Xiaoxiao." Tang Ruochu slowly walked to his side and sat down. She then put her head on his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes, looking rather exhausted. Only the sound of the old wall clock could be heard in the huge living room as Lu Shijin raised his hand to hold her shoulder and gently caress it. After a while, she asked, "Shijin, how's the investigation going?" Lu Shijin was silent, and he did not immediately answer her. As she did not hear a reply from him even after some time, Tang Ruochu opened her eyes and turned to look at his well-defined jaw with a frown. "Is there something wrong?" Lu Shijin uttered a soft "yeah" and did not say anything more. Furrowin
She slowly closed her eyes and softly said, "Yes, everything will pass."…Shen Mofei's attitude was as firm as ever, and he made Grandpa Shen both angry, as well as stumped, at the same time. He thought that with his ill condition, that brat would at least compromise with him, but he did not. That made him angry and troubled. That Song Anyi was a lot more important to that stinking brat than him now. Xu Wenjing noticed that Grandpa Shen had been sullen for the past few days, and she knew it was because of her third brother, so she took the initiative to look for Shen Mofei. When she saw Shen Mofei and Song Anyi walk out of the Times building, her eyes dimmed slightly. The moment they saw her, both Shen Mofei and Song Anyi stopped simultaneously. She walked over and asked, "Third Brother, is it convenient for you to talk with me?" Shen Mofei turned and glanced at Song Anyi before he rejected her request, "It’s probably inconvenient." Song Anyi knew that Xu Wenjing had
