Chapter 355 - Really Courageous!
Chapter 355: Really Courageous!
After coming out from the study, Jiang Yuning acted as though nothing happened at all. She continued laughing and joking around with Chen Jingshu and after a moment, Lu Jingzhi came downstairs.
Shortly afterwards, Lu Jingzhi’s third uncle arrived at the Lu family home with his sixteen-year-old son, Lu Jingqi. Almost every member of the Lu family was at the Lu family mansion with the exception of Lu Jingzhi’s aunt, who had already been away for many years.
The young boy who arrived at the family reunion dinner had no expression on his face initially. However, after seeing Jiang Yuning, the young boy suddenly said, “You…you are…Sister Yuning!”
Everyone was shocked to hear the young boy speak.
This was because Lu Jingqi had a very slow response due to a concussion he had suffered from and his brain was severely damaged from that. Therefore, Lu Jingqi’s development was very slow and he rarely spoke. Moreover, Lu Jingqi would usually never speak to strangers.
It was very surprising that Lu Jingqi actually knew who Jiang Yuning was as soon as he saw her.
“Yes, Jingqi. This is your Sister Yuning. She actually carried you in her arms before when you were still a little baby,” Third Uncle Lu said as he brought his son to the sofa to sit down.
Jiang Yuning looked at Third Uncle Lu with a puzzled expression on her face when she noticed the unusualness of Lu Jingqi’s behaviour.
“He fell down,” Third Uncle Lu said as he looked at Jiang Yuning. “I have already brought him abroad to visit many different doctors and specialists for many years but we have not seen any progress or improvements at all.”
“I…I want to…sit there,” Lu Jingqi said as he pointed at the empty spot next to Jiang Yuning.
“Alright then. You can sit next to your Sister Yuning,” Third Uncle Lu said as he helped Lu Jingqi move to the spot on the sofa next to Jiang Yuning.
“So, I will take care of Little Jingqi tonight. We are going to have so much fun together, Little Jingqi,” Jiang Yuning said as she patted Lu Jingqi gently on his head. “We will go out and play with some fireworks together in a short while, okay?”
“Okay.” Lu Jingqi nodded his head.
Lu Jingzhi, who was sitting at the side, felt a little upset and disappointed as he watched the scene unfolding before him. This little descendant of his would only be back for one day and yet she did not intend to spend some time to accompany him at all. After coaxing his grandfather, she was now busy taking care of his younger brother. Didn’t she care about her own husband anymore?
“Dad, I want to watch…watch television.”
“Okay, here it is,” Third Uncle Lu said as he handed his cell phone over to Lu Jingqi after turning on the television program that Lu Jingqi was currently watching. Unexpectedly, Lu Jingqi was currently watching , which was the variety show that Jiang Yuning had participated in. This was the reason why Lu Jingqi could recognize Jiang Yuning as soon as he saw her.
It was not surprising that Lu Jingqi would have clicked into this television program as it was one of the highest-ranking programs on the network. Therefore, anyone could click into it easily as it would always be on the front page.
Jiang Yuning stole a glance at Grandpa Lu as she continued taking care of Lu Jingqi.
She suddenly felt that she had been a little cruel when she told Lu Jingzhi that the Lu family was full of treasures. Now, it seemed as though what she said was in fact a slap across his face.
The first grandson of the Lu family died at a very young age and Lu Zongye, the third grandson of the Lu family, turned out to be an impostor. Moreover, Chen Jingshu, who had recently returned as the official third granddaughter of the Lu family, had lost both of her legs as a result of a car accident. The fourth grandson, Lu Jingqi, suffered from severe brain damage and had intellectual impairment as a result of a fall. Each and every one of Old Master Lu’s grandchildren suffered different degrees of damage, and that was the reason why he took Lu Jingzhi’s marriage very seriously. Besides that, Grandpa Lu had also protected and hid Lu Jingqi’s situation very well.
Under such a premise, what Jiang Yuning said was in fact very cruel.
However, she really wanted to be together with Second Brother. Therefore, she had to do whatever she had to in order to move forward.
“Sister Yuning is in the television and Sister Yuning is also here…”
Jiang Yuning felt very distressed and upset when she looked at Lu Jingqi. She then turned around and asked Third Uncle Lu, “Have you already seen the best doctors in the world?”
“I have already sought to seek treatment from the best specialists that I could find. However, most of them do not dare to perform a craniotomy on Jingqi.”
Jiang Yuning did not know why she suddenly thought of Xu Liangzhou at this time.
She wondered if Xu Liangzhou would be able to help him.
“If he can be cured, he will definitely be a very witty and intelligent boy.”
Jiang Yuning could not help herself from sighing at this time. Who would not sigh when they witnessed something as distressing as this?
After the family dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room as they chatting and watching television together. At this time, Jiang Yuning brought Lu Jingqi out to the courtyard to set off some fireworks. She did it at the exact same spot where she had played with the fireworks just a little earlier.
At this time, Jiang Yuning started receiving text messages on her group chat.
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “Sister-in-Law, are you free? Come out and gamble with us.”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “I am not free! I am looking after a baby.”
Lost all four pants: “When did you and Second Young Master Lu make a baby?”
Vera: “Yuning, please don’t make it to the headlines tomorrow. I do not want to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.”
Scenery: “My brother.”
Tycoon Xu: “Is she talking about Jingqi? Sister-in-law, you are spending the New Year with the Lu family? Have you guys made your relationship public already?”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “Do you think I would dare to publicize our relationship? Grandpa Lu would kill me on the spot!”
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “@Scenery is a wild man!”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “Can you not tempt someone who is on the verge of dying?”
Tycoon Xu: “Ahh. The both of you are at the Lu family mansion but you haven’t told Old Master Lu about your relationship? Then, I guess someone has to be a monk tonight.”
Lost all four pants: “You are dead meat.”
Jiang Jiang loves the scenery: “You are dead meat.”
Vera: “You are dead meat!”
Jiang Yuning smiled to herself as she read and replied the text messages and she waited until Lu Jingqi was finally done playing with the fireworks before she brought Lu Jingqi back into the living room.
At this time, Jiang Yuning suddenly received a text message from Lu Jingzhi. “You should go back to your room and rest already.”
Jiang Yuning felt a little guilty after reading the text message from Lu Jingzhi. “Second Brother, do you really intend to come over to my room tonight? I think it’s better for you not to. The elders will get suspicious!”
“What time will you be leaving tomorrow?”
“Seven o’clock.” Jiang Yuning replied.
“You can come to my bedroom tonight. It is just by the staircase so it will be very convenient for you to leave.”
Did second Brother really want Grandpa Lu to have a bad impression of her?
“Yuning, you look a little tired. You will be leaving early in the morning tomorrow, won’t you? Why don’t you go upstairs and rest first?” At this time, Third Uncle Lu suddenly said to Jiang Yuning. After all, Jiang Yuning had been playing and accompanying his son throughout the entire night.
“Yes, Yuning. Don’t you have to go back to T City at seven o’clock in the morning? Why don’t you go and get some rest now?” Chen Jingshu also chimed in at this time.
Jiang Yuning turned her head around and fixated her gaze at Grandpa Lu. However, Grandpa Lu was not paying any attention to her at all because he was busy playing with his grandson.
“You are still filming even though it is the Chinese New Year?”
“Well, there are also rules in the crew and as an actress, I have to abide by the rules,” Jiang Yuning smiled as she replied to Third Uncle Lu.
“Go to bed already.” Grandpa Lu suddenly said after he heard Jiang Yuning’s sentence.
Jiang Yuning was finally relieved and she quickly said goodnight to everyone before she went upstairs to the guest bedroom.
“It must have been really difficult for that child, Yuning,” Third Uncle Lu suddenly sighed after Jiang Yuning left the living. Old Master Lu felt as though his heart was palpitating at this time.
He was the one who had a difficult life now!
He could not bring himself to scold or beat Jiang Yuning but he could not show any troubled emotions in front of Lu Jingzhi.
He felt as though he was suffocating.
Lu Jingzhi did not know anything and he simply thought that Mrs. Lu did not want to try and pave the way with his grandfather. Little did he know that Jiang Yuning had already made all the necessary preparations and she had almost taken a life along the way because Grandpa Lu had been so shocked and infuriated.
However, Old Master Lu really wanted to laugh at this time.
That little fox, Jiang Yuning really dared to say anything she wanted to.
She dared to like Lu Jingzhi?
She dared to like his precious grandson?
Really courageous!
He should take over all the shares that she had tomorrow and leave her with nothing to her name. He wanted to see what kind of achievements she could show him based on her own abilities then.
