Ming Zhengxun was hastily summoned to City C by the Lin family’s elders.
When she had just returned, Lu Moqing was in a hurry to find Qiao Xu and didn’t have ti to inform the Lin family.
It wasn’t until late in the night that he thought of calling the Lin family.
Ming Zhengxun didn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning, and arrived from City C early in the morning today.
Lin Jingshu heard the obvious hoarseness in his voice and felt a slight stir in her heart.
However, in front of outsiders, she couldn’t show too much, so she just looked at him gently and smiled, saying:
"I’m sorry to have worried you."
Seeing that Ming Zhengxun clearly had sothing to say to Lin Jingshu, Qiao Xu then said:
"Uncle Ming has been worried sick this ti and probably has a lot to say to Mom. We have a glass room in the backyard that’s warm in winter and cool in sumr. Why don’t you go there and chat at your leisure?"
Both Ming Zhengxun and Lin Jingshu did not expect Qiao Xu to be so direct, causing the two forty-sothing-year-olds to show so embarrassnt on their faces.
Lin Jingshu didn’t really mind, after all, she was already a grandmother and had experienced a lot.
On the other hand, it was Ming Zhengxun, a big shot in the academic circle, who seed to have unlimited prospects but had never even been in love.
Now that Qiao Xu had pointed out his intentions so clearly, the tall and handso man was actually feeling a little embarrassed, his ears slightly hot.
"Well, the scenery at my son-in-law’s house is quite nice. I’ll take you for a walk."
Lin Jingshu recovered her calm deanor after a very brief mont of awkwardness.
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
When the two of them left the living room, the elder lady of the Lu family who was also sitting in the living room couldn’t help but gossip:
"Why do I feel like Professor Ming actually likes your mother?"
As soon as Qiao Xu heard this, her smile widened, "Grandma, your vision is truly sharp."
She took Grandma Lu’s arm and whispered,
"Grandma, what do you think of Professor Ming as my stepfather?"
"Professor Ming is indeed a fine talent, and his behavior is quite steady. In addition to his reputation in the academic field, he’s a truly outstanding person. He’s hundreds of tis better than your unreliable father."
When it ca to Qiao Sheng, the old lady was quite disdainful.
Despite being an old friend’s son and her granddaughter-in-law’s biological father, the old lady never had a good impression of him.
"Your mother is a good cabbage ruined by a big wild boar."
Qiao Xu was amused by the old lady’s words, but quickly regained her composure and said,
"Actually, I quite like Professor Ming as my stepfather, but my mom..."
Speaking of this, she sighed and didn’t say anything.
She knew that her mother always stubbornly felt that she wasn’t good enough for Ming Zhengxun.
Whether in any aspect, she didn’t feel worthy.
But no matter how unworthy she felt, it couldn’t stop Professor Ming from liking her sincerely, right?
Moreover, she didn’t think her mother was in any way lacking.
Soone who could make Professor Ming sincerely like her, and even remain unmarried until now, how could she not be outstanding?
"Senior Sister."
Ming Zhengxun followed Lin Jingshu to the Lu family’s backyard.
The place was filled with various types of rare flowers, and it was currently their blooming season, which was incredibly beautiful.
But Ming Zhengxun had no interest in appreciating them.
The indescribable fear from this experience had made him more determined to marry Lin Jingshu.
No matter if she had married before or if she was now at the age to be a grandmother, he wanted to marry her.
This thought had never changed since he was an eighteen-year-old young man.
