"This wedding—how can it be arranged immediately when we decide to do so?
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you can’t be careless with it.
However, Grandpa obviously didn’t seem so approving:
"When will you guys have time if you keep waiting ? By then, will my bones be ready to be used as drums?"
Lu Jing was so startled that she didn’t know what to say; Grandpa’s words were quite frightening.
Using bones as drums—that would mean...
As soon as she started to speak, she was met with a stern look from the elder.
The next second, she quickly corrected herself:
It was just that she was used to calling him Grandpa Jiang since she was young, and she couldn’t react in time.
After the correction, Grandpa finally stopped giving her stern looks.
Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief:
"Grandpa, we’ve discussed this privately and won’t wait too long."
Even if she was willing, neither the Lu Family nor the Jiang Family could wait.
With the delay, who knew how much the two families would lose?
After all, everyone has a mouth, and who knows what nonsense they will talk behind our backs?
Three people make a tiger, and as rumors spread, black can turn to white.
Such occurrences are not uncommon in reality, so neither the Jiang Family nor the Lu Family could allow the couple to keep dragging their feet.
Grandpa started to hum in a rather prideful manner:
"Lu Family girl, do you know who my favorite pick for a wife for the grandson is?" he asked.
This, probably everyone knew.
Lu Jing cleared her throat before answering:
"The Gu Family’s daughter, Gu Xiyue."
"That’s right, I’ve always liked that girl from the Gu Family since she was young, she truly places Aye in her heart, and she treats him wholeheartedly."
Listening to Grandpa say these words, Lu Jing’s heart wasn’t at ease.
After all, it wasn’t Gu Xiyue who was with Jiang Ye now; it was her!
Grandpa’s words made her sound like a mistress, encroaching on someone else’s childhood sweetheart.
Lu Jing didn’t respond; mainly, she didn’t know what to say.
But Grandpa continued to speak:
"Lu Family girl, do you know why this old man doesn’t like you much?"
Lu Jing forced a smile and then spoke:
Even if she did know, she wouldn’t say it.
She was sweating bullets in her heart.
Grandpa took several glances and huffed:
"Six years ago, you quietly took away my great-grandson, so, this old man does not like you!"
Lu Jing’s eyelids twitched several times, wanting to speak, but at that moment, she truly didn’t know what to say.
However, Grandpa just waved his hand again.
Seeing this, Lu Jing had no choice but to forcefully close her mouth.
Even if Grandpa didn’t like her, Lu Jing couldn’t bring herself to show any attitude to an elderly person.
"You... when will you give the Jiang Family a child in return, only then will I let go of my past prejudices against you!"
Lu Jing almost thought she had heard wrong.
Could conditions really be set ?
"What? You won’t even agree to this simple request?"
What could Lu Jing say?
Could she possibly argue?
"No, it’s not that, Grandpa, I promise you."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Grandpa immediately became cheerful, his eyes and brows smiling.
"You said it, you can’t go back on your word!"
Lu Jing was in an awkward position, feeling like she was dealing with a child, and then she agreed:
"I won’t go back on it."
Minutes later, Lu Jing came out of the hospital room, and Jiang Ye immediately approached: ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novèlfire.net
"What did you talk with Grandpa about?" he asked.
He was mostly worried about his wife getting upset.
