Chapter 17

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Jingnan had always struck while the iron was hot and tried to fawn over his grandmother. His childhood experience told him that it was best to fawn over his grandmother when he came to her house. It was a survival skill.

If he could fawn over his grandmother, he could do whatever he wanted at home. With someone backing him up, he could basically be a little tyrant.

“Grandma, I’m not tired. I’ll chat with you,” Lu Jingnan said and sat next to Old Madam Bai. He took out his phone and sent a message to Tang Shan, asking him to send his luggage over.

“Tsk.” Old Master Bai snorted indignantly.

Lu Jingnan had not put on an act yet, but Old Madam Bai was displeased. “Why are you so annoyed? Didn’t you say you’re sleepy? If you’re sleepy, then go back to your room and sleep. You’re becoming an eyesore.”

“Darling, you’re abandoning me after achieving your goal,” Old Master Bai accused angrily.

Old Madam Bai was so angry that she laughed, and so did Lu Jingnan.

Lu Jingnan finally understood why his mother, who was in her fifties, was so childish. It turned out that it was hereditary behavior. His grandparents were already in their seventies and eighties but when they quarreled, they were so childish that it was laughable.

With a good attitude, one would look young.

Whenever the old couple went out, no one believed that they were in their seventies and eighties. Many people said that they were at most in their sixties.

“I can do what I want. Go to sleep.” Old Madam Bai accepted the old man’s accusation. She was happy to have her eldest grandson’s company anyway.

She would accept whatever he said about her.

Old Master Bai got up, snorted, and left.

Old Madam Bai held Lu Jingnan’s hand and said, “Jingnan, just now when we passed by the square after dinner, we saw you holding a lady’s arm. Who was that lady? My eyes were blurry, and Uncle Shi was driving so fast that I couldn’t even see her face clearly.”

Lu Jingnan. “…”

He was relieved that she could not see her face clearly. His grandma had definitely seen Song Ruyi before.

When Lu Jingnan’s grandmother heard that he was getting married but was not having a wedding, she was anxious.

He was the family’s big baby, so his wedding should be quite a big event. If he did not have a grand ceremony, his grandmother naturally had to rush to Cloud City to take a look.

Back then, Song Ruyi still had short hair. It was probably convenient for her to take care of her mother like that, so she kept her hair short. It had been more than three years, and Song Ruyi had also left her hair long, but she only tied it up into a simple ponytail.

Actually, more than three years had passed. Song Ruyi’s face had not changed much, but Lu Jingnan still felt that she had changed a little.

“Ah, a brash lady wasn’t looking where she was going. She bumped into me and didn’t apologize, so I pulled her along and taught her the principles of being a person.”

Lu Jingnan lied easily.

That said, something he said was true. He wanted to teach Song Ruyi the principles of being a person, but she was really impervious.

“Ha, you taught her the principles of being a person. You better not have turned her into a crooked person.” Old Madam Bai believed what Lu Jingnan said and also made him laugh.

Lu Jingnan pretended to be displeased and changed the topic at the same time. “Grandma, do I look very crooked? I’m clearly a good and upright young man, okay? Look, I have money, good looks, a car, and a house. I’m a successful young man.”

“Yes, you have everything, but you couldn’t keep your good wife. Ruyi is such a good lady. She’s good-looking, filial, and treats you well. You say you have everything, but you couldn’t keep her. That’s too bad.”

Old Madam Bai suddenly mentioned Song Ruyi and became melancholic.

When she went to Cloud City to visit Song Ruyi and heard about her situation, her heart truly ached for that girl.

After she left Cloud City, she still remembered what she told Lu Jingnan. She had said, “Jingnan, based on my judgment, Ruyi is a good lady. Once she deals with her mother, you have to treat her well.”

In the end, Lu Jingnan’s grandmother heard about their divorce. Even when she asked Lu Jingnan, she did not know where Song Ruyi went with her mother.

She was furious.

Lu Jingnan’s grandmother ignored him for a long time until he said that he would try his best to find another good woman. Only then did she give up.

Lu Jingnan did not say anything. Not only his grandmother but he was also frustrated about the matter.

It would be embarrassing if this matter were to be revealed.

Especially since Song Ruyi had a daughter who was almost three years old now. She would start kindergarten in September.

Old Madam Bai saw that Lu Jingnan did not say anything when he mentioned Song Ruyi, so she did not pursue the topic anymore.

“Oh right, how’s Tiger Kid doing recently? Is he growing up well?” Old Madam Bai missed the little boy very much. The little boy was very similar to Lu Jingnan when he was young.

He looked like a tiger.

Lu Jingnan even complained that the little boy ate too much during his confinement. He had no idea that when he was young, he could eat so much that he was unbelievably chubby after that.

“I think so. A physical examination will be arranged at the kindergarten next week.” How could Lu Jingnan pay attention to such details?

Nevertheless, at this age, the little brat was growing rapidly. It had been so long since he had seen this great-grandmother. Compared to before, he must have grown.

Lu Jingnan’s answer did not satisfy the old madam, so the old madam hit him.

“Do you even know how to be a father?” Old Madam Bai despised him.

Lu Jingnan did not say anything and let Old Madam Bai scold him.

At 10:30 pm, Tang Shan delivered the luggage.

Seeing that it was getting late, Old Master Bai came out of the room and urged Old Madam Bai to go back to sleep. Usually, the two elders would go to sleep at about 10:00 pm. Today, seeing that the old lady had not seen her precious grandson for a long time, he gave her an extra half an hour.

Even so, the old madam was so unaware of the time. If the old master did not call her, she would not go back to her room.

“Grandma, hurry up and go to sleep. I don’t have other plans these two days, so I’ll stay at home to accompany you, okay?” In terms of work and rest, Lu Jingnan was supportive of his grandfather.

“Didn’t you say you have a project going on?” Old Madam Bai was not hoping for anything.

“There’s plenty of time for the project. Besides, there’s no hurry now. I’ll find a partner first and slowly look into it,” Lu Jingnan said with a smile.

He was never in a hurry to make a decision.

“If that’s the case, you better keep your word. If you dare to run away, I’ll break your legs.” Old Madam Bai then followed the old master back to their room with ease.

After sending off Tang Shan, Lu Jingnan entered and saw Bai Yunfei sneaking downstairs.

“What are you doing? It’s your own home. Is there a need for that?” Lu Jingnan had a look of disdain on his face.

“Cousin, our grandparents are asleep, right?” Bai Yunfei asked in a low voice. He was in his room and only came down when it was time. Previously, he had sneakily come down twice.

Hearing his grandmother’s voice, he ran back to his room.

“They just went to sleep. Are you looking for them? I’ll go get them for you.” Lu Jingnan was just teasing him.

Bai Yunfei panicked. He jumped down the stairs and pulled Lu Jingnan. “Cousin, don’t mess with me. I’m miserable enough.”

Lu Jingnan smiled. “How are you miserable when you’re a young master?”

Bai Yunfei. “…”

He did not believe that Lu Jingnan did not understand. He was probably joking with him.
