Chapter 225 I’m Sorry (1/2)
As soon as the door opened, Lu AnLing came face to face with a blank-faced Rong Xin and the shocked face of Grandma Lu.
As soon as the old woman walked through the front door, she said, ”It sure is great to be a Kang.”
Not knowing if her grandmother was being serious or sarcastic, Lu AnLing frowned.
Kang Jun was a hard worker, whatever he bought had to do with his abilities. If the man hadn't taken over the company after Kang Zhi's death, Kang Corporations would have surely gone bankrupt. Lu AnLing knew about this and she wanted to scold her grandmother, but she decided against it when she saw Kang Jun approach.
As soon as he was close, he spoke, ”Hello grandmother, welcome to our home.”
Hearing this, Grandma Lu didn't know what to say but when she saw Kang Jun wrap his arms around Lu AnLing, creating a protective barrier of sorts, around the girl, Grandma Lu felt herself open up and so she said,
”Hello, Thank you for inviting me,” she tried to say those words as nicely as she could.
Kang Jun gave a business smile. ”It's our pleasure. You're an important part of AnLing's life, it's only natural to build a relationship with you.”
Kang Jun's words seemed sincere enough so Grandma Lu did not say another word. Instead, she just followed the couple towards the living room.
Realizing that Rong Xin wasn't coming, Grandma Lu frowned. Rong Xin wasn't much of a talker, even when he was accompanying Grandma Lu from the house. Not being in much of a mood to talk herself, Grandma Lu appreciated that he wasn't the type of person who tried to kiss ass.
But that wasn't all...
There was something about Rong Xin that looked a bit familiar but grandma Lu did not pry into her own feelings.
She turned and said, ”Are you just going to stand at the front door like a bump on a log?”
Hearing this, Ring Xin's body straightened and followed them.
Meanwhile, walking, Kang Jun tried to organize his emotions in order to properly interact with Grandma Lu in a way which would make it so the woman liked him.
Usually, he wouldn't care but the woman was someone Lu AnLing cared about.
Though, In truth, Kang Jun didn't know what he felt for Grandma Lu. He knew that the woman had been responsible for Lu AnLing entering the family, and because of this, having a home but he had also heard a couple of stories about how Lu AnLing spent her days in the Lu Family and it didn't seem to him like the old woman did anything to stop the bullying...
This angered him but he didn't have the right to say anything about it. He hadn't been there and he had no idea what was going on in both Lu AnLing and Grandma Lu's minds at the time, so he left it at that.
But even so, he felt the need to comfort Lu AnLing so he continued to touch her at any instance he got.
Before they entered the room, Grandma Lu's eyes landed on the children first. The two ran up to Kang Jun and Lu AnLing with big bright eyes.
Seeing the kids, Grandma Lu looked at them with shock filling her face. She could only assume that these kids were the adopted children of the Kang family but Grandma Lu saw something strange in their features...
Both Kang Jun and Lu AnLing noticed this look and they could basically assess what the old woman was thinking, but even so, Lu AnLing still said,
”What's wrong?”
”They just...” Grandma Lu trailed off as she looked closely at both kids. The old woman frowned a bit as she did this. It was so strange...
They bore some of the same features as Lu AnLing... Features of the Lu family...
Grandma Lu didn't utter those words. It was impossible. Lu AnLing had not given birth yet and these kids were so old.
As Grandma Lu continued to contemplate possibilities, Lu AnLing patted both Kang Mei Xue and Kang Mingyu on the head.
”Say hello to my grandmother... I guess that would make her your great grandmother.” Lu AnLing said this seriously and so the children both turned to Grandma Lu and gave her their biggest smiles and said,
”Hello, great granny!”
Their voices were so small and high pitched, displaying the interest and happiness they felt meeting a new person.
Hearing this, every fiber of Grandma Lu's body softened. She looked down at them and smiled as she gave her hellos.
Seeing how nice the old woman was, the kids approached her and began to speak to her.
The kids weren't always talkative, but in Kang Jun's house, they were free to do as they pleased and so they did.
Listening to them, Grandma Lu's heart grew warm as she examined their little features.
She couldn't believe what she was experiencing right now...
Great-Grandchildren?...
The old woman wanted to cry. She wanted to see some great-grandchildren before she died, and seeing these two, for some reason, it opened her heart, even if she knew that they weren't related.
Watching, Lu AnLing could see the sparkle in the old woman's eyes and she couldn't help but smile. Beside her, as soon as Kang Jun saw his wife brighten, he grasped her hand and held it tightly. Kang Jun gestured to the living room, remind Lu AnLing of a battle yet to come.
Remembering this, Lu AnLing said,
”Come sit down and let's have some tea.”
Her grandmother nodded and walked side by side with the children but before they did, Lu AnLing told the children to go upstairs a play a bit. Grandma Lu did not want this. She wanted to enjoy her time with the little ones but Lu AnLing insisted.
Lu AnLing didn't know what would happen as soon the two elders met, and she didn't want the kids to see something painful.
Watching as the two kids fled up the stairs, the old woman was pretty happy but as soon as she stepped through the threshold of the living room, she heard a voice say,
”Lu Lili?...”
Hearing this, Grandma Lu's head shot up and she laid eyes on a man she hadn't seen in a long time.
Examining him in his old age, Grandma Lu felt her jaw clench.
