All the strange people and events seemed to revolve around one center, and that was Lu Zechuan.
A fleeting glimpse in a past life left Xia Mian thinking about Lu Zechuan, yet she didn’t expect that Lu Zechuan’s identity seemed not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Lu Zechuan went home to quickly change his clothes and then headed out to the company.
The issues caused by Lu Zefang’s disturbance at the company provided him the perfect opportunity to put things in order.
Seeing Lu Zechuan leave, Shu Dao Mountain hurriedly chased after him.
Last night, the Grandmaster was with the Grand Ancestor, so he couldn’t ruin the scene, but today was different. As long as the Grandmaster wasn’t with the Grand Ancestor, he was like a walking Tang Seng’s flesh.
He must keep a close watch on the Grandmaster!
Lu Zechuan didn’t say much about Shu Dao Mountain following him, since he had been troubled recently, having Shu Dao Mountain by his side gave him some peace of mind.
After two days of calm busyness, Mrs. Lu was discharged from the hospital.
Lu Zechuan went to pick her up personally, and at the hospital entrance, he saw Wu Mei and Lu Zefang once again.
However, last time they could still walk, but this time they came directly in wheelchairs.
Seeing Mrs. Lu coming out of the hospital, Wu Mei quickly moved her wheelchair to her, "Mom! Mom, you’re finally out!"
But Mrs. Lu didn’t even glance at her, allowing Lu Zechuan to support her straight to her family’s car.
Wu Mei wasn’t willing to let go Mrs. Lu just like that and immediately followed her, complaining incessantly, "Mom, I’m also your daughter-in-law, after all I bore you grandchildren..."
Mrs. Lu didn’t turn her head, ignoring her entirely.
Letting Wu Mei chatter non-stop, she didn’t even spare her a glance.
Seeing Mrs. Lu about to get into the car, Lu Zefang panicked, maneuvered her wheelchair to block Mrs. Lu’s path, cried with tears and snot, "Grandma, for the sake of my youth and ignorance, please forgive me this once!"
Away from the Lu Family, she truly amounted to nothing!
Mrs. Lu gave Lu Zefang a sidelong glance, chuckled, "Forgive you? A heartless creature like you, if I forgave you, even Heaven couldn’t stand it!"
After speaking, Mrs. Lu pushed Lu Zefang aside, stepped into the car, and without hesitation slammed the car door shut.
Lu Zefang was so close that her head was nearly caught by the door.
Lu Zechuan was even less likely to show kindness to these two; having already kicked them out of the Lu family, he spared them only because of Lu Zeming.
As soon as Lu Zechuan got into the car, Shu Dao Mountain began to chatter, "Grandmaster, let me teach these two women a lesson again! Last time maybe they didn’t learn their lesson, coming to bother you again!"
Lu Zechuan faintly smiled, "No need."
Wu Mei and Lu Zefang were just two insignificant women. To repeatedly act against women was not the action of a true man.
Shu Dao Mountain obediently acknowledged and quietly sat in the passenger seat, not speaking further.
In the back seat, Mrs. Lu glanced at him with a probing look, "Ah Chuan, is there something wrong with this young man?"
While speaking, Mrs. Lu pointed to her own head.
Lu Zechuan smiled slightly, "Grandma, he’s normal. He’s in the same sect as Mianmian, just of a younger generation, so he casually calls me this."
Mrs. Lu blinked, cultivators still talk about generations?
But since Lu Zechuan said so, Mrs. Lu didn’t ask further.
"Grandma, now that you’re discharged, when will the marriage proposal to the Song Family be scheduled?" Lu Zechuan asked casually while driving.
Mrs. Lu couldn’t help but smile, "You’re really impatient, aren’t you?"
Lu Zechuan smiled slightly and said nothing.
But the tenderness in his eyes was apparent to anyone, even the blind.
"Today, let Uncle Sun go buy gifts. Tomorrow, you accompany me in person." Mrs. Lu agreed readily without hesitating.
Lu Zechuan carried a spell of not living past twenty-five, and given his connection with Xia Mian, it would be best to settle this engagement early. Perhaps it could break this spell, giving the Lu family descendants soon.
Lu Zechuan’s smile grew wider, letting out a low hum.
Receiving a call from Lu Zechuan, Uncle Sun found it abrupt yet not surprising.
From the day the young master met Miss Xia, the young master has been different towards her. Among so many women in the world, he always gravitated towards Miss Xia; if this isn’t affection, then what is it?
Uncle Sun took on the task straightforwardly, and ten minutes later, he received the purchasing funds from Lu Zechuan.
Seeing the string of zeros, Uncle Sun clicked his tongue in his mind, thinking the young master was truly worried the things he bought wouldn’t be up to standard?
Even while speechless, the young master’s gesture indicated to Uncle Sun the level of specifications he should follow for the purchases.
He prepared fine cigarettes, wines, teas, and also pastries, fruits, candies—everything Uncle Sun prepared was impeccable.
Of course, to show sincerity, Uncle Sun also chose a set of high-end jewelry for Miss Xia.
Otherwise, the money given by the young master wouldn’t even be spent.
Once everything was ready, Lu Zechuan’s mind drifted for an entire day.
The thought of going to the Song Family for the marriage proposal made Lu Zechuan’s heart race instantly.
That dashing and heroic young girl was soon to be his wife!
Just thinking about it made him excited. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novęlfire.net
Unable to sleep from excitement, Lu Zechuan messaged Xia Mian.
Receiving the message from Lu Zechuan, Xia Mian was both amused and helpless.
The high and unreachable eldest young master of the Lu family in the previous life now seemed as naive as a child.
"Mianmian, what time is suitable for me to go tomorrow?"
"What should I wear to look good?"
"Will Auntie think I’m too eager?"
Lu Zechuan’s questions came one after another, nothing like the decisive business dominator she remembered.
Xia Mian couldn’t help but laugh, patiently replying to Lu Zechuan, one question at a time.
Until the middle of the night, Lu Zechuan ended their conversation fearing he would disturb Xia Mian’s rest.
That night, neither of the two lovers slept well.
Early the next morning, Lu Zechuan got up to start getting ready, trying on one designer suit after another, but none seemed satisfactory.
It wasn’t until Meng Meng peeked in, looking at him as if he were a fool, making him realize how ridiculous his actions were.
"Brother, you’re so handsome, you’d look good in a sack!" Meng Meng said seriously in her childish voice.
Lu Zechuan paused in the midst of changing clothes, looked at Meng Meng with his dark eyes, and asked earnestly, "Really?"
Meng Meng replied seriously, "Really!"
Deciding not to change, Lu Zechuan went downstairs wearing the silver-gray suit he had on.
Since they were going to the Song family for the proposal, Mrs. Lu got up early and had Sister-in-law Zhang help her dress up.
