“But don’t you have any regrets in your heart?” i Shu asked in return. “If you had persisted in your ideals back then, you might have made a na for yourself in your desired field. Even if you couldn’t make the Lu family as wealthy as it is now, it wouldn’t have declined under your leadership.”
i Shu’s words were not wrong.
Lu Ting suddenly fell silent, as if recalling a long-forgotten story from the past.
After a long while, he stood up with a heavy heart, his figure inexplicably lonely. “I’ll go back to my room. It’s ultimately the world of you young people now. No matter how much I say, it’s useless. I’ll rest now. Don’t let anyone disturb unless it’s necessary.”
“Take care, Mr. Lu,” i Shu stood up and watched his retreating figure.
In her mory, Lu Ting always stood upright and refused to acknowledge his age.
Even though he needed a cane due to his age, he never required much assistance. He walked briskly without anyone’s support, emphasizing physical exercise and self-care, living his life like a young man.
But ti had left its mark on him.
In this mont, lost in mories, his figure seed so aged and lonely.
It unexpectedly stirred a sense of pity in i Shu’s heart.
If she could have a Grandpa who doted on her, he would probably be like him, willing to give up his ideals for his descendants and plan everything for her.
However, she was destined to never experience the love and care from her elders for the rest of her life.
She really envies it.
She felt fingers beside her gently squeezing hers.
i Shu suddenly ca to her senses, realizing that tears had welled up in her eyes.
Lu Si lifted his slightly cool fingers and wiped away the tears from her eyes, saying with concern, “Don’t cry. Even if you don’t have elders to cherish you, I’ll treat you well for the rest of your life.”
For a mont, surprise flashed in i Shu’s eyes.
She hadn’t expected him to perceive such private emotions hidden in her heart. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she said, “Indeed, since you’re much older than , you should be like an older brother to in the future, listening to everything 1 say.”
“You want to call brother?” Lu Si raised an eyebrow, showing a mischievous smile. “That’s not a bad title. You should address like that from now on.”
i Shu rolled her eyes at him, knowing that he was teasing her again. She quickly shook off his hand and sat down to eat fruit.
Lu Si persistently approached her, “Co on, Shu’er, just call brother, and 1’11 give you anything you want.”
i Shu moved away from him, shaking off the goosebumps on her skin, “Go away! Don’t bother while I’m eating fruit!”
The two of them played in the living room for a while before heading to the movie theater on the top floor of the Lu mansion.
In the afternoon, when Lu Ting woke up and didn’t see i Shu in the living room, he asked the butler, “Where are they?”
The butler replied, “Miss i and Mr. Lu are watching a movie.”
Lu Ting sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping the hot tea brewed from the tea leaves i Shu had sent over. He asked, “What do you think of this girl, i Shu?”
The butler lowered his gaze and answered truthfully, “She’s excellent in every way—her character, temperant, and abilities. She’s not an ordinary girl.”
At his words, Lu Ting snorted sarcastically, “People who don’t know might think i Shu has given you a lot of bribes in private!”
The butler smiled and said, “I’m just telling the truth, sir. Nowadays, there aren’t many young ladies who are willing to cook. Besides, Miss i seems filial. In the future, she’ll take care of you with Mr. Lu. You can look forward to enjoying your old age.”
Lu Ting gave him a disdainful look and muttered, “Do you think 1 want her to cook? I just want to see how far this girl is willing to go for Lu Si! But I do feel sorry for her today.”
As he said this, he took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to the butler. “Give this to her. Tell her it’s a eting gift from . When a man brings a woman ho, it’s customary to give gifts. Although I don’t approve of them, we can’t ignore the rules and let people gossip behind our backs.”
The butler took the card with a smile and said, “I’ll give it to Miss i right away. But speaking of which, Miss i’s cooking skills are really good. Even I want to taste a bit of it!”
Lu Ting gave him a sideways glance, displeased. “If you want to eat, cook it yourself!”
After saying that, he realized his tone was a bit protective of i Shu. He cleared his throat and added, “What 1 an is, she’s not part of the Lu family yet. She shouldn’t treat this place like her own ho!”
“Understood.” The butler dared not say more and hurriedly went to the movie theater upstairs with the bank card.
When i Shu and Lu Si ca out, they t the butler.
i Shu politely asked, “Is there sothing you need?”
The butler took out the bank card from his pocket and handed it to her. “This is a eting gift from Mr. Lu. He said it’s customary for a man to give a gift when introducing a girl to his family for the first ti. So please accept it, Miss i..”
