After Lu Xiao praised Xia Ran in entrance of Lu Jinnan, Lu Jinnan began asking questions every single day.
“Have you ever eaten with that lady as we speak?”
“Grandpa discover a airplane to take you to snowboarding. Mountaineering is simply too harmful, attempt to not go.”
“How’s it going just lately? No quarrel?”
On this regard, Lu Xiao at all times used “light and beneficiant, educated and affordable” to perfunctory issues, and didn’t drive his mind to make one thing up.
Fortuitously,, he wanted to go to the top workplace in China for an internship, and he held conferences and labored time beyond regulation each three days. As a result of Lu Jinnan specifically instructed, Secretary Zhang didn’t reveal his identification because the prince within the firm, and the highest squeezed the newcomers desperately. After going forwards and backwards, Lu Jinnan centered extra on his efficiency, and stopped asking him about Xia Ran.
Each different week, Lu Xiao has to remain within the outdated home for just a few nights – Lu Jinnan has to examine his work report.
In his view, this was extraordinarily painful and unavoidable, however within the eyes of his second uncle and third uncle, they had been so jealous that their eyes modified. To this point, it may be seen that the outdated man intends to domesticate him hand in hand.
The outdated home is positioned in a distant location, it’s snowing closely outdoors, and the crackling of firecrackers could be heard sometimes.
The nanny took the youngsters to have a snowball battle downstairs, and the New Yr’s environment was very sturdy.
The group chat can be very lively-
Jiang Jin: [Sisters, are you going out to drink all night on New Year’s Eve? 】
Tan Xiaoqi: [Yes, yes! I dare not drink at home, I’ll suffocate! 】
Zhou Minhao: [My brother Xiao, brother Xiao said he wanted to invite me for a drink last time. 】
Jiang Jin: [Brother Xiao must be invited, everyone is soaring now, what did the hot search say, the Lu family’s crown prince surfaced…]
Everybody was chatting and chatting, whereas the Lu household’s crown prince was agonizingly anxious a couple of pile of reviews and contracts.
He despatched a message to Ye Cheng aggrievedly: [Wife, I can’t go to you tomorrow, the old man explained that he wants me to prepare for the annual meeting together. 】
After a long time, there was a perfunctory reply: [Then you work hard. 】
Lu Xiao immediately dropped the paper in his hand and typed: [What are you doing? 】
After another five minutes, Ye Cheng replied: [Shopping with your mother and Xia Ran, my mother seems to like Xia Ran a lot and bought her a scarf. 】
Lu Xiao: […]
He appeared down on the contract, after which appeared on the chat information, and his coronary heart was immediately unbalanced.
Lu Xiao: [You stay away from that girl! Buy her a scarf, why doesn’t my mother buy you something? 】
Ye Cheng is inexplicable: [She brought me a Lambo and asked me to drive it when I was in Nandu. 】
Lu Xiao: […………]
What’s improper with this world? !!
Ye Cheng sensed his irritability, and took the initiative to ask: [Have you ever come throughout one thing you don’t perceive once more? Ship it to me to have a look. 】
Lu Xiao didn’t need to hassle him. Throughout this time period, he harassed Ye Cheng with the issues he encountered, however when he thought that he was procuring with two girls, he may as properly assist him remedy the issue, so he took a photograph and despatched it to him.
Lu Xiao: [I don’t perceive the individuals within the crimson circle, you’ll be able to assist me have a look. 】
On the opposite finish of Ye Cheng’s aspect, “inputting” was displayed. After a couple of minutes of enter, he despatched a big paragraph of clarification.
Lu Xiao buried his head and checked out it rigorously, and couldn’t assist sighing: [Spouse, you’re too good, you’ll be able to even do it… 】
Midway by way of his typing, he noticed Lu Jinnan knock on the half-open examine door and walk-in.
He rapidly deleted the typed phrases, put the telephone the other way up on the desk, bought up and mentioned in a correct method, “Grandpa.”
Lu Jinnan glanced at his telephone and snorted, “Why, you continue to can’t sit nonetheless?”
“No,” Lu Xiao defined, “I used to be asking Ye Cheng after I encountered a query I didn’t fairly perceive.”
“Xiao Cheng?” A touch of shock flashed in Lu Jinnan’s eyes, “Isn’t he a medical scholar, how might this occur?”
Lu Xiao mentioned, “Perhaps as a result of he adopted his father earlier than, however I solely understood those I circled after asking him.”
He mentioned “circled”, referring to Lu Jinnan’s plans to examine him. After he gave the reply, all of them had been accredited by Lu Jinnan, that’s to say, most of these plans had been taught to him by Ye Cheng.
Listening to what he mentioned, Lu Jinnan confirmed some reward: “Xiao Cheng is a really sensible baby, I’ve already found this. Effectively, it’s also possible to name him to the top workplace and ask him that can assist you, I’ll give to him double the wage of standard staff.”
As anticipated to discover a companion for the prince, the opening is extraordinary.
Lu Xiao mentioned in shock, “Actually?”
“However you must ask him what he means. Since he selected medication, possibly he’s not desirous about these.” Lu Jinnan mentioned.
Even when he’s not , he has to come back. Who made him my spouse, Lu Xiao thought with schadenfreude. It occurred that Ye Cheng was only a freshman, and he had not been in a position to enter the hospital for an internship, so he needed to get somebody over rapidly.
Lu Jinnan checked his progress, then turned and walked away.
As quickly as he left on the entrance foot, Lu Xiao couldn’t wait to tell Ye Cheng of the “excellent news”.
His pretty spouse replied to him: [No approach, get out. 】
Lu Xiao had a fierce look on his face: [It’s as much as you, in case you select to come back to the corporate, you received’t should pay again what you owe me fourteen instances. When you don’t select to come back, then we should always do it just a few instances. 】
He hadn’t seen Ye Cheng a lot previously few days. In accordance with the frequency of the 2, he actually owed greater than a dozen instances.
Ye Cheng was shaken: [= = The corporate is simply too boring. 】
Lu Xiao threatened with temptation: [I’ll accompany you, you don’t should do something, simply lie on the couch within the workplace and battle the king. 】
Ye Cheng: [Aren’t you a clerk, the place did you come from? 】
Lu Xiao: […Not for now, however there will probably be sooner or later! 】
Beneath his abduction, Ye Cheng lastly agreed reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, after going round in a circle, he nonetheless returned to his outdated enterprise, however based mostly on this start line, Lu Xiao ought to be capable to get began a lot sooner than in his earlier life.
Lu Xiao got here ahead in his place and went to Lu Jinnan to debate wage.
“Grandpa, I believe twice is simply too little,” he mentioned plausibly, “He’s from College A, my nation’s double first-class A, key 985 and 211 universities. Simply twice the wage, it’s a treasured factor to exchange the elite pillars. Do you assume it’s applicable?”
The Lu household has at all times admired intellectuals, particularly when Lu Jinnan’s three sons had been bluffing with purchased school diplomas, he revered these school college students from well-known universities much more.
He nodded in settlement and mentioned, “It’s actually not appropriate, let him set a worth for himself. This child’s capacity and character are top-notch. If he needs to alter careers sooner or later, the Lu household will welcome him at any time.”
Lu Xiao stretched out 5 fingers: “He’s too embarrassed to ask for it, why don’t you give him 5 instances as a lot.”
“Okay.” Lu Jinnan mentioned fortunately.
On this approach, Ye Cheng grew to become the prince’s companion through the winter trip with 5 instances the wage of extraordinary staff.
And Lu Xiao’s function for doing that is additionally revealed. Each Saturday and Sunday are the times when he lives within the outdated home, and Ye Cheng naturally strikes in with him.
It was not the motive force who got here to select them up this Saturday, however Secretary Zhang.
Immediately is the final inspection earlier than the annual assembly. After the annual assembly, Lu Jinnan will give them a vacation.
Lu Xiao fixed his seat belt and requested, “Uncle Zhang, why are you right here to select us up?”
Secretary Zhang coughed twice and checked out Ye Cheng within the rearview mirror.
Ye Cheng checked out him and reacted, “Do I have to get out of the automobile first ?”
Secretary Zhang appeared embarrassed.
“No, Uncle Zhang, I by no means conceal secrets and techniques from him.” Lu Xiao frowned and mentioned.
Secretary Zhang mentioned, “Okay, younger grasp, I got here right here to remind you that the grasp may be very sad as we speak.”
Ye Cheng breathed for no cause, Lu Xiao patted the again of his hand and requested, “Why?”
Secretary Zhang’s face grew to become much more embarrassing, and he hesitated: “Grasp requested me to examine…Miss Xia, he knew that you simply had been coping with her throughout this time, and he misplaced his mood within the morning.”
The 2 individuals within the again seat glanced at one another and instantly understood.
Rattling, this pig teammate will solely trigger bother, Lu Xiao cursed inwardly.
Secretary Zhang added, “Younger grasp, don’t be cussed with the grasp for some time. The physician got here to examine him just a few days in the past and mentioned that his coronary heart just isn’t superb.”
“What?” Lu Xiao instantly sat up straight, “What occurred to Grandpa?”
Secretary Zhang mentioned: “…coronary heart, arrhythmia.”
Ye Cheng appeared away, appeared out the window, and step by step understood.
If he guessed accurately, most of those phrases had been mentioned by Lu Jinnan to Secretary Zhang, they usually had been used to discourage Lu Xiao.
The guts rhythm is nonsense. Lu Jinnan was a soldier when he was younger, and since then he has maintained the behavior of operating within the morning. He doesn’t know the way a lot better his physique is than his friends. Furthermore, Secretary Zhang has at all times been a not talkative and sullen individual. He doesn’t appear to be somebody who would take the initiative to speak to Lu Xiao about this.
Plainly the outdated man’s cautious pondering has not modified for therefore a few years.
Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes and remembered the very same routine he used earlier than—arranging a blind date, saying that he had a coronary heart assault… Going again just a few years in the past, even the method has not modified.
It sounds outrageous, however how did Lu Xiao discover out that he didn’t have a coronary heart assault, as a result of Lu Jinnan couldn’t wait to join a marathon, he was photographed and posted on the Web midway by way of the run. The title is “Sixty and seventy-year-olds battle a marathon!”
…
Lu Xiao was a bit anxious and urged Secretary Zhang to drive rapidly.
Ye Cheng didn’t say something however secretly searched on his cell phone to see if there was a marathon in Nandu just lately, eager about learn how to let the outdated man see the registration discover.
After they arrived on the outdated home, they met Lu Yuelin on the door who checked out them up and down with a smile.
Positive sufficient, he heard the wind and moved to observe the joy.
Lu Xiao didn’t even name “Uncle” and went straight to the tea room upstairs. Ye Cheng nodded to him and adopted.
Lu Xiao knocked on the door and walked in, leaving Ye Cheng and Secretary Zhang standing outdoors the door nose to nose.
Ye Cheng: “…”
Secretary Zhang: “…”
There was a sound inside, and Ye Cheng hurriedly appeared by way of the crack of the door. Secretary Zhang requested nervously in a low voice, “Grasp received’t do something, proper?”
Ye Cheng checked out him suspiciously: “You don’t know, how do I do know.”
Lu Jinnan threw a bunch of images on Lu Xiao, and mentioned angrily, “The date you mentioned was identical to this?!”
Lu Xiao appeared alongside along with his toes. Within the picture, Xia Ran was on the door of the bar, hugging a long-haired magnificence… kissing, her garments had been half-open, and her hand was nonetheless touching the sweetness’s butt. All in all, it has nothing to do with “light and beneficiant, educated and affordable”.
Wanting on the time, it occurred to be the day he and Lu Jinnan mentioned they had been going out on a date just a few days in the past.
Why is that this taking place? !
Didn’t she get dumped and lower her wrists? Fuck it.
Lu Xiao was speechless and opened his mouth.
“Don’t say you don’t know! Together with your cleverness, you’ll be able to’t preserve her from hiding for therefore lengthy? Until you colluded a very long time in the past!” Lu Jinnan mentioned angrily.
Lu Xiao was dumbfounded.
Lu Jinnan checked out him sadly: “You don’t need to go on a blind date, are you able to inform grandpa, did I pressure you? What did I inform you, don’t use these little methods to deceive individuals! I…”
He lined his chest and took a breath.
Lu Xiao panicked and rapidly supported him: “Grandpa, are you alright? I’ll name the physician to come back over.”
Lu Jinnan waved his hand and slowly calmed down.
“You truly united with outsiders…”
There have been bursts of voices within the tea room.
Ye Cheng glanced at Secretary Zhang and mentioned, “Aren’t you anxious? Outdated Man Lu virtually handed out simply now.”
Secretary Zhang was having a great time consuming melons, however he forgot to carry out for some time, and mentioned in a panic, “I… I’m going to hurry in, however I didn’t push the door after I noticed that the grasp was fantastic.”
Ye Cheng sneered.
Inside, they rustled for some time, and after some time, Lu Xiao got here out in dismay.
He checked out Ye Cheng and mentioned, “You go to dinner first, I’ve acquired the penalty, and I’ve to kneel within the ancestral corridor all evening.”
Ancestral corridor! One other shrine!
When somebody mentions this place, Ye Cheng is horrified.
He couldn’t say something, so he nodded sympathetically and watched Lu Xiao depart.
Lu Jinnan mentioned, “Is Xiao Cheng outdoors? Are available.”
Ye Cheng immediately needed to go to the ancestral corridor with Lu Xiao, however the outdated man known as him, so he daringly walked in.
