A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

A few days later, after a series of surveillance and arrest, the case was finally dismissed.

After a few days of mornings to evenings working schedule, everyone hoped to relax a little. Captain Yan announced that they could have free time during the day, then gather to eat dinner before returning to City A the next morning.

Some took the bus to visit the local scenic spots while others went to eat at the restaurant. Su Jianan didn’t want to play or eat. She thought about it and asked the driver to take her to Granny Xu’s house.

Upon seeing Su Jianan, the old woman smiled happily that she couldn’t even close her mouth. Xu Youning said jealously, “Grandma, the wrinkles on your face are getting much deeper!”

“Wicked girl!” Granny Xu poked at Youning’s forehead and said, “Go make some tea!” Turning her head, she smiled at Su Jianan and asked, “how have you been? Did you come alone?”

“I’ve been well.” Su Jianan said, “I am here on a business trip and I will be going back tomorrow. I am on break today so I came to visit you and Youning.”

The old woman gratifyingly patted Su Jianan’s hand twice and asked, “What about Yicheng? He hasn’t visited me in City G in over half a year. I haven’t received any calls from him during this period. He must be busy again? Tell him to take care of his health.”

Gazing absently, Su Jianan immediately raised a smile. “Grandma, you can rest assured. My brother is also doing well. He’s just been very busy during this time. When he is done, I will let him visit you!”

“Good, good.”

The old woman’s face glowed with joy, but Su Jianan’s heart grieved.

There had been no news since Luo Xiaoxi’s leave. Her phone had been turned off, and she no longer updated her status on social networks.

Su Jianan knew that Luo Xiaoxi wanted some quiet and alone time in order to sort out the problems. Therefore, she did not bother her.

As for Su Yicheng, he seemed the same as usual on the outside, working and resting normally.

But Su Jianan knew that when there was no social event, he always went home after work. No one knew how he passed each evening and long night in that apartment.

Xiao Chen once secretly told Su Jianan that Su Yicheng had become more dependent on sleeping pill than before, taking it almost every day.

Therefore, Su Yicheng was not well in reality.

But since Granny Xu was getting old, Su Jianan didn’t want her to worry about the younger generation, and kept the unpleasant news to herself.

After chatting for a while, Granny Xu’s energy gradually worn out. Understanding her grandma’s current physical condition, Xu Youning helped her grandmother up. “Grandma, go back to the room and get some rest. I will call you when lunch is ready.”

Su Jianan and Xu Youning helped the old woman settle in bed then returned to the living room. Xu Youning smiled apologetically. “My grandmother is like a child now. She has to sleep for fifteen to sixteen hours a day. She hasn’t been able to tend to the restaurant which she had taken care for so many years.”

Su Jianan looked worried, but Xu Youning continued and said, “Rest assured, Grandma is not sick, she is just getting older. Sit down, I have a question to ask you.”

Su Jianan sat on the armchair and asked, “What’s your question?”

“… Mr. Lu and my boss,” said Xu Youning, sounding a bit hesitant and a bit curious. “They seem to have a close relationship, is that true?”

“Boyan never mentioned it to me.” Su Jianan smiled. “But according to my understanding of my husband, he probably has a close relationship with Mu Sijue, and they have known each other for many years.”

Xu Youning nodded thoughtfully, “… Oh.”

“What’s wrong?” Su Jianan was curious why Xu Youning asked about it.

Coming back to her senses, Xu Youning grinned as she held her chin and said lazily, “I don’t think they are the same type of people in this world. You don’t know Mu Sijue, he looks scary on the outside, but in some aspects, he’s just like a three-year-old!”

Su Jianan got interested and continued to ask, “For example? In what ways?”

“For example, his ability to take care of himself is zero, he is also a picky eater, and…” As Xu Youning got prepared to complain about Mu Sijue, her black pupils rolled around and then she took back her words. “Forget it, I don’t even want to complain about him.”

Su Jianan thought that Xu Youning was afraid her words might get delivered to Mu Sijue. Although Xu Youning’s worries were unnecessary, Jianan did not ask again.

Obviously, she would not tell Xu Youning now that complaining about a person was often the beginning to loving that person.

Xu Youning went to get her wallet. “Sit around for a while, I’ll go shopping. Let’s have lunch together.”

The grocery market was right downstairs. A few minutes after Xu Youning had left, the doorbell rang.

Su Jianan initially thought Xu Youning had forgotten her keys, but when she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man and three young men standing outside the door.

Dyed hair in red and yellow, big golden chains, tattoos… Su Jianan roughly got an idea of who these people were.

“Hey.” The middle-aged man looked at Su Jianan obscenely. “When did such a beautiful girl come to this old woman’s house?” He lifted his chin scornfully at Su Jianan. “How about we big brothers take you out for dinner tonight?”

“What are you guys here for?” Su Jianan stepped out and closed the door behind so these noisy people couldn’t disturb Granny Xu’s rest.

“We want to buy this house!” A young man jumped out proudly. “We’ll give you a week to move out!”

“The hell we will!” Xu Youning rushed back with bags in her hands and guarded the door. “My grandma and I will not accept! Get lost!”

“You little girl, watch the way you speak to our Brother Biao!” The young man glared at Xu Youning fiercely. “This whole village is watched by Brother Biao. Don’t you know? Don’t you want to stay here?”

Xu Youning glanced coldly at Brother Biao. “We will not sell our house to you! Take your dogs, and get lost as far as you can!”

“You!… Just wait!” After leaving a warning, the gang rushed away angrily.

Xu Youning came over to Su Jianan and examined her. “Did they do anything to you?”

“I’m fine.” Su Jianan still felt that the incident was not over yet. She asked, “What’s going on?”

Once they entered the room, Xu Youning told Su Jianan that these people were the bullies of the ancient village. In recent years, the tranquility of the ancient village has attracted many artists to set up studios, cafes, and hotels here.

Brother Biao’s gang sniffed out the business opportunities and forced acquisitions of other people’s old houses.

“But my grandma will never sell them our house!” Xu Youning said, “Grandma grew up here, my mother and I also grew up here… How could we let these people ruin the place we grew up at?”

“What will you do?” Su Jianan said, “those guys look tough to handle.”

Xu Youning snorted coldly, “They are tough to handle, but I am even more difficult to provoke!!”

Not sure if it was her illusion, in an instant, Su Jianan saw that Xu Youning’s eyes… were full of chills…

Xu Youning did not have the slightest fear. She took the bags into the kitchen and skillfully washed and chopped the vegetables. Just as Su Jianan thought she was going to cook, Youning took off her apron and came out of the kitchen.

“I don’t know how to cook.” Xu Youning rubbed her nose embarrassingly. “Let me check if my grandma is awake or not. She is the chef at home.”

“No need.” Su Jianan stopped Xu Youning. “I’ll cook, let Granny Xu get some more rest.”

Su Jianan acted quickly and prepared a few simple home-cooked dishes. Xu Youning and Granny Xu both praised her cooking on and on.

After the meal, Xu Youning rubbed her full stomach and said to Su Jianan, “if I were a man, I would definitely steal you from Mr. Lu.”

“Wicked girl!” Granny Xu knocked on Xu Youning’s head. “Act like a girl and stop talking rubbish. Go wash the dishes!”

Xu Youning spat out her tongue. “Grandma, you are biased!” Afterward, she still went to wash the dishes.

After the nap, Granny Xu woke up with higher spirit and chatted with Su Jianan for the whole afternoon. By evening, Jianan received a dinner call from Captain Yan and finally got up to leave. The driver drove her to the restaurant.

As soon as Su Jianan stepped in the restaurant, four strong men followed in and sat down at a table not far away from her.

The whole team consisted of graduates from network technology and criminal investigation departments; therefore, they easily suspected that these men were Su Jianan bodyguards. Xiao Ying handed the menu to Su Jianan and teased, “Jianan, is your Boss Lu worried even when you are with us? This is so…”

Su Jianan made a “stop” gesture and passed Captain Yan a look. “Reporting to the captain, your puppy is feeling devastated. Hurry, stroke her head.”

The weak-willed people laughed out as the blushes on Xiaoying’s cheeks spread to the roots of her ears. She waved her hands and feet and justified, “Don’t blab! Who is his puppy!”

A group of people teased Xiao Ying. The more she blushed, the happier they became. At last, a roar from Captain Yan finally stopped them.

Of course, the hero who saved the beauty had to pay the price. At last, Captain Yan became everyone’s teasing target and was also blackmailed into paying for dinner.

After returning to the hotel after dinner, Su Jianan deliberately did not tell Lu Boyan over the phone that the case had been closed and that she would return to City A the next day.

On the second day, Su Jianan traveled in economy class and landed at the City A airport. After getting on a taxi, she headed straight to Lu Enterprises.

Lu Boyan had given her a surprise, she definitely had to surprise Lu Boyan in return!

Whenever Su Jianan entered the company, the front desk would inform the president’s office immediately. This time, Su Jianan ran over to the front desk in time to signal them to drop the phone. She smiled and said, “I’ll just go up by myself.”

She took Lu Boyan’s exclusive elevator to the floor of the president’s office. Everything still seemed familiar to her except a strange thing. The secretary froze as she saw her, then greeted, “Mrs. Lu…” She then looked to the president’s office with an even stranger face.

Su Jianan only felt excited about seeing Lu Boyan’s reaction that she did not notice the details. She asked hurriedly, “Is the president here at the company?”

“… He is.” The secretary said hesitatingly, “the president is in his office…”

God helped!

Su Jianan smiled. “Could you make an internal call and say that there are documents to be delivered to him.”

“… OK.” Though the secretary was hesitant, she still made the call according to her request. Lu Boyan’s voice soon came through the line. “Come in.”

Su Jianan took a deep breath and pushed open the door. She especially adjusted the pace of her footstep so that Lu Boyan would not detect her.

But she had never thought, Lu Boyan was more than she had expected…
