chapter 53

Elder Lu smiled in satisfaction. A moment later, he asked in puzzlement, “What did I help you resolve?”

“While I was on a set, a woman called Shen Weiwei said I pushed her down down a hill. She was going to sue me if I didn’t pay her twenty million yuan.”

“I haven’t sent anyone to handle that matter yet.”

Ji Qingqing’s brain was full of question marks. “It wasn’t you? Then who could it be?”

“If you want to know, I’ll help you check it out later.”

“Elder Lu, thank you.”

Elder Lu kindly smiled. “Since you agreed, then address me the same way as Lixing. Call me grandpa. Don’t regard me as an outsider by calling me Elder Lu.”

Ji Qingqing had been envying Elder Lu’s unconditional love for Lu Lixing. She had never experienced that familial affection before.

Having gotten what she wished, she easily changed to saying, “Grandpa!”

Elder Lu nodded in satisfaction. The more he looked at Ji Qingqing, the more he thought she was a lovable child. Even the way she called him grandpa made him mentally and physically feel comfortably cozy.

He warmly asked, “Marriage is a serious matter. Have you talked about this matter with your family?

Ji Qingqing shook her head.

“How about this? When everyone is free in a few days, I’ll pay your parents a visit to discuss your wedding with Lixing. Since you married into the Lu’s, grandpa definitely won’t let you be slighted.”

At the mention of the original owner’s parents, Ji Qingqing smiled and said, “Elder Lu, there’s no rush needed for the wedding. Even if I’m willing, Mr. Lu might not be willing. As for my parents, I’ll talk to them myself.”

Now that the topic of the original owner’s parents had been brought up, Ji Qingqing thought it was interesting that she had a similar family background as the novel’s Ji Qingqing. What were the chances?

In both families, the parents favored the sons over daughters. The sons in both families had failed to grow up to be responsible adults, and the daughters were dragged down by their families.

Other than that, the author hadn’t written much about the novel’s Ji Qingqing’s family members, so Ji Qingqing wasn’t clear what kind of people they were.

“Sure, since that’s what you prefer, I’ll listen to how you want to handle your parents’ side. As for Lixing…” Elder Lu called the villa’s homeline and told Lu Lixing to come to the study.

“Grandpa, what are you doing?” Ji Qingqing looked at him in alarm.

“Grandpa will let you hear in person how he’ll agree.”

“No no no…” Ji Qingqing hastily stood up. She was thin-skinned. She would die of embarrassment if she remained here when Grandpa Lu was talking about the marriage with Lu Lixing.

“Don’t be scared. Grandpa is here. If Lixing dares to bully you, I’ll punish him for you.”

There was a knock on the other side of the door. “Grandpa.”

“Come in.”

As Lu Lixing walked into the room, his gaze swept over Ji Qingqing before settling on Elder Lu. “Grandpa, you’re looking for me?”

Elder Lu was sitting on the same sofa as Ji Qingqing. He gestured for Lu Lixing to stand in front of the sofa. “Back when you were in critical condition, I had Great Master Wen tell me your fortune. He said Qingqing is your destined wife. At the time, you were in a coma, and I had no way of knowing if you were willing to marry her or not. So I’m asking you now, are you willing to take Ji Qingqing as your wife and take good care of her for the rest of your lives?”

Elder Lu’s words caused Ji Qingqing to blush to the tips of her ears. She wished she could dig a hole to bury herself in.

“Hey, I’m asking you a question!”

Lu Lixing smiled. “Did she agree?”

Elder Lu tutted. “I’m asking you.”

Lu Lixing’s gaze wandered over Ji Qingqing’s body. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were dark. Who knows what he was thinking about?

“I’m willing.”
