Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The girl nodded with a smile, her gaze turning slightly shy when she looked at Lu Si, “When my grandma gets better, I’ll definitely bring a gift to express my gratitude.”
“No need to be polite,” Lu Si declined with a cold expression. However, when he lowered his head to look at i Shu, there was an intense gentleness in his eyes, “Grandma’s relatives are here, so let’s head back. Don’t you still have classes to attend?”
i Shu hesitated for a mont and then said, “Alright, let’s go back then.”
After saying goodbye to the girl, i Shu noticed the undisguised joy on her face when facing Lu Si.
i Shu suddenly felt a bit distracted.
It wasn’t until they left the hospital that Lu Si waved his hand in front of her, bringing her back to reality.
“What are you thinking?” Lu Si glanced at the ti on his watch and said, “Should 1 take you to school now? It’s not long until the end of the school day. How about we go to F together? Didn’t you promise to visit the system he’s working on?”
“No, I’ll go back to school.” i Shu’s previously excited mood had completely cald down.
Lu Si thought for a mont and said, “Alright, I’ll take you back. By the way, how did you and Shen Yuan et?”
“So her na is Shen Yuan…” i Shu accidentally murmured, eting Lu Si’s questioning eyes. She quickly regained her composure and casually replied, “I only heard about her occasionally before. I didn’t know her last na was Shen.”
“Oh,” Lu Si clearly didn’t believe her but didn’t press further.
i Shu was curious about another thing, “1 didn’t expect you to know her too. Today is really a coincidence.”
“It is indeed a coincidence.” A subtle awkwardness crept into the atmosphere between them. Lu Si smiled, reached out, and patted her head before she could react, “Nice touch. No wonder you like to touch my hair so much when 1 turn into Xiao Bao.”
“Hey!” i Shu glared at him fiercely and threatened to ss up his hair in retaliation.
Lu Si dodged with a laugh, not letting her succeed.
The awkward atmosphere from before dissipated during their playful interaction.
Jiang He’s car was parked nearby, and he pretended not to have seen anything while feeling a sourness in his heart.
The usually cold and indifferent Lu Si was now on the verge of falling into a sweet romance, but Jiang He didn’t even have a girl he liked. Over the years, he had focused all his energy on work, inadvertently delaying his own important matters.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he beca. That night, Jiang He decided to let his mom introduce him to a suitable girl!
His mood only slightly cald down after he and Lu Si accompanied i Shu back to school.
Through the rearview mirror, Jiang He looked at Lu Si, who still had a smile on his face. He hesitated and said, “Today, Shen Yuan found out about the incident where you and Miss i saved Grandma Shen. He’s eager to thank you in person.”
“What is there to thank for? It was i Shu who saved Grandma Shen.” Lu
Si had no intention of taking credit.
However, Jiang He brought up another matter, “And about your engagent with Miss Shen…”
Lu Si’s expression changed slightly, showing impatience, “That’s a matter from childhood, arranged by our elders. It hasn’t been ntioned for many years, and neither the Shen family nor mine took it seriously. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”
“Understood.” Jiang He dared not say more.
However, in his heart, Jiang He couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Who didn’t know that the Shen family was facing major financial problems now? He had a feeling that this ti, Lu Si wouldn’t be able to avoid it.
Shen Hai had always been worried about finding an opportunity to climb up to the Lu family. Now, he had a reason. How could Shen Hai easily let it go?
His prediction ca true.
That night, Shen Hai brought Shen Yuan to the Lu family, claiming to personally express his gratitude.
Lu Li was puzzled, and it was Jiang He who explained the events of the day. Only then did he understand the situation.
“All Si said that Grandma Shen was saved by Miss i, so it has nothing to do with him. If you want to express gratitude, you should go to the i family,” Lu Li politely stated.
However, Shen Hai insisted on sending the token of appreciation he had brought, “Please don’t say that. Both i’s family and the Lu family are benefactors to my Shen family. 1 will express my gratitude to both of you. Please accept this token of appreciation.”
“Alright.” Lu Li couldn’t refuse him, so he had the butler accept the gift.
Coincidentally, Lu Yan returned from school at this mont, and Shen Hai signaled to his daughter.
Shen Yuan gracefully stood up and nodded towards Lu Yan, “Brother Yan, do you rember ?”
Lu Yan paused, his eyes filled with confusion.
Seeing that Lu Yan seed unfamiliar with her, Shen Yuan was not embarrassed. She spoke about the good relationship between their families when they were young.
Only then did Lu Yan have so impression, nodding, “Hello, Sister Yuan.”
“It’s easy for children to get familiar. 1 heard that Brother Yan is now in his third year at Yi High School?” Shen Hai took the opportunity to chat about their lives.
Lu Li responded indifferently, “Yes, Yan is in his senior year and will graduate from Yi High School soon..”
