Chapter 64 - Two Wedding Gifts
Lu Jie dusted off his clothes. Why would he be bothered by a disabled person? Lu Gan was already miserable enough. He had to be more magnanimous.
At this moment, Lu Gan was waiting for him on the balcony. Song Ci was beside him. She had a bright smile on her face. As she looked at the flowery courtyard outside the balcony, she said, “Maybe we should build a playground for Little Suo and Yu Jin.”
Lu Gan had no objections at all.
“No problem.”
“I’ll ask them what they like later.”
Just as Song Ci finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Lu Jie walked in.
The man had decent facial features and was wearing a pair of glasses. He looked somewhat similar to Lu Jingjing.
“Hello.”
Song Ci said politely.
Lu Jie did not even bat an eyelid. Song Ci was quite good-looking and had a nice figure. Her smile was really lovely as well. No wonder Lu Gan was bewitched into marrying her. A crippled would think that she was a goddess as long as she spewed a few sweet words and used some techniques in bed.
“Hello,” said Lu Jie with a smile,
“Please don’t mind Jingjing’s words. She’s still young and didn’t actually mean it.”
Lu Gan sneered, “She’s already 23. How could she still be so brainless at this age?”
Lu Jie looked embarrassed and lowered his head.
Lu Gan was lying lazily in his wheelchair. He had a contempt expression on his face. This was his usual attitude ever since the accident. The only difference was that he would usually look down on the other party but now that he was chairbound, he had to look up.
Thinking of this, Lu Jie immediately felt better. He did not care if Lu Gan mocked him. At the moment, there would be no difference if Lu Gan was dead or alive. So, why should he be concerned?
“Jingjing didn’t know what to buy because you don’t lack anything. Rather than guessing and buying random gifts that you may not like, I think it’s better to give you cash. You can spend freely.”
As Lu Jie said this, he took out two checks.
“This 99.99 (TN: 99 represents long-lasting in Chinese) million is Jingjing’s wedding gift to you. The other 100 million is from me. May your marriage be loving and fulfilling.”
Lu Gan raised his hand and calmly received the checks. Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
“You’re better at talking than your sister. Thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome. We’re family. It’s natural for me to be concerned about you.”
Lu Jie said with a smile.
Lu Gan looked at Lu Jie and said coldly, “I’ve already received your wedding gifts. Now get lost.”
Lu Jie laughed softly and said helplessly, “Lu Gan, since you’re married, you should act more mature. Otherwise, you’ll hurt your wife’s feelings.”
Song Ci stroked her long hair slowly.
“Don’t worry. Lu Gan treats me very well.”
Lu Jie raised his head and looked at her like a considerate brother. He said gently, “Lu Gan’s personality had been like this ever since he was young. He’s arrogant and unbridled. I hope you can put up with him.”
“Of course.”
Song Ci said with a smile. Her red lips parted slightly.
“Besides, you’re not me. How would you know what makes me happy?”
Lu Jie thought that Song Ci was only acting in front of Lu Gan. She was probably mocking him in her heart. Hence, he merely replied, “That’s good.”
When Lu Gan heard this, he just laughed lightly.
Originally, Lu Jie was trying to mock Lu Gan, but he noticed the latter was not even looking at him.It was as if he did not even exist.
Lu Jie clenched his fists. His heart was filled with resentment. However, he still mustered up a gentle tone and said, “Then I’ll be leaving now.”
“Hurry up and scram.”
Lu Gan said casually.
Lu Jie turned around and left. When he reached the end of the corridor, he saw Lu Suo.
The little boy was holding a glass of water. He was about to return to his room.
Lu Jie’s expression immediately changed and he called out tenderly, “Little Suo.”
Lu Suo turned around and said sweetly, “Third uncle.”
Lu Jie bent down and patted his head.
“How are you doing recently?”
Lu Suo nodded.
“Did your father scold you?”
Lu Jie asked.
“No.”
Lu Suo shook his head.
This was not the answer Lu Jie wanted. He was a little disappointed, so he continued to coax Lu Suo.
“Little Yang and the others went to an amusement park a few days ago. What about you? Would you like to go? I’ll bring you there next time, okay?”
