This time, Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Jingzhi before he said, “Jingzhi, you have once promised me that you will definitely settle down by the time you turn thirty. I hope that you will not come home alone anymore when we celebrate Chinese New Year next year.”

“Grandpa, what were you talking about with Yuning earlier?” Lu Jingzhi asked as he sat down on the wooden bench without answering his grandfather’s request.

“Why are you so concerned about what we were discussing?” Grandpa Lu replied. “All you have to focus on right now is to find the right woman to settle down with.”

“I have another question for you, Grandpa. Why didn’t you consider me at all when you arranged the engagement between Yuning and Lu Zongye fourteen years ago?”

The old man was stunned and he looked at Lu Jingzhi with a startled expression on his face as he asked, “Second Grandson…what are you trying to say?”

“I am just curious,” Lu Jingzhi replied as he chuckled.

“You gave me a fright.” The old man started patting his chest as though he was trying to calm his heart down. Jiang Yuning had already given him a fright last night and he thought that his second grandson was about to give him another shock today. After thinking about it, he replied, “You have always been quiet and you always kept to yourself while you were growing up. That young girl, Jiang Yuning, is such a chatty and lively person. In the past, I would always see her bickering with Lu Zongye and I figured that they would both turn out to be enemies when they grew up. That is why I decided to arrange the engagement between the both of them. Don’t you think that Yuning is too talkative and playful?”

“I can’t believe that this is the reason for your decision.”

There was no significant reason at all but Old Master Lu’s decision ultimately affected and changed the lives of three people.

Fortunately, everything turned out to be fine in the end.

“What do you think about that young girl, Yuning…”

“Second Brother, Third Uncle Lu is asking for you.” Chen Jingshu suddenly appeared in front of both of them in her wheelchair.

“I will go and look for him right now,” Lu Jingzhi replied Chen Jingshu without any hesitation at all. After that, he looked at his grandfather before he said, “I thought that perhaps you did not like me in the past. I thought that was the reason why you had arranged for the engagement between Yuning and Lu Zongye instead of me.”

“You have always been this way. Overthinking and getting upset over something that is practically non-existent at all.”

It was a touching moment between the grandfather and grandson as they revealed their feelings to one another in the courtyard.

“I will go and look for Third Uncle now.”

“Go.”

Lu Jingzhi stood up and walked back into the Lu family mansion. Grandpa Lu had mixed feelings at this point because he could not read or understand Lu Jingzhi’s attitude. He was no longer certain if he wanted his grandson to have feelings for Jiang Yuning or otherwise.

…

When Jiang Yuning arrived at the airport at eight o’clock in the morning, Vera was already waiting for her. As the both of them walked together, Vera quickly mentioned something important to Jiang Yuning. “Your brother called me last night. Someone tried to share pictures of you spending New Year’s Eve with the Lu family online. However, your brother managed to stop and kill off the news immediately. If anyone managed to take such clear shots of you, then it must have been one of the guests at the Lu family mansion last night.”

Jiang Yuning frowned as soon as she heard Vera’s words. She had only just agreed to obey Grandpa Lu’s rules and someone was already trying to set her up at the very next moment?

It must be the doing of one of the two young ladies who came with their father for the reunion dinner last night.

Jiang Yuning put some thoughts into this matter and she called Ku Jie as soon as she entered the waiting lounge at the airport. “Hello, Brother. Happy new year!”

“Do you still remember that you have a brother? You ran off to have reunion dinner with the Lu family during New Year’s Eve. Have you forgotten that you still have a family?” Ku Jie asked as he rolled his eyes. “It turns out that a married daughter is really water that is already poured out.”

“I have already asked Vera to prepare something for Grandpa. She will send it over to him later. Try and spend some time with Grandpa and keep him company on my behalf if you have time.”

“Forget it. Lu Jingzhi has already visited Grandpa at the nursing home yesterday.”

Lu Jingzhi did not tell Jiang Yuning about this matter at all. Perhaps he did not have any chance to tell her anyway.

“Oh, that’s good to hear. I promise that I will spend more time with you and Grandpa after I am done filming <Nameless Orphan>.”

“Your grandfather and I do not need your company at all. You are always getting in the way and causing us trouble! Go away.”

After that, Ku Jie hung up the phone immediately.
