The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind Chapter 244: 244 You Started to Care About Me

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 You Started to Care About

Because she was hurt too deeply,

she was very resistant to affection.

Yet she could accept Zhou Yanxu.

Indeed, when people are most vulnerable, the lifeline they grasp in their hands becos their deity.

He was sowhat curious where she ca from and what her past was like.

“Mom’s awake.”

Shang Xu woke up amidst the adults’ quarreling.

Climbing out of Jiang Nanshu’s arms, he pushed open the door and saw Lu Junqin, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

His small, milk-like voice was filled with joy.

He toddled excitedly into the room.

The noblewoman and the middle-aged man exchanged glances.

They guessed that their earlier conversation had probably been overheard.

But as parents, they were out of options.

The Lu Family’s power still lay in Old Sir Lu’s hands.

Though they were blood relatives, there was always so distance.

Otherwise, why couldn’t they allow their son to intern at the company?

Was it because he was a bit too fond of playing? Couldn’t they just teach him properly?

They harbored so resentnt, feeling that Old Sir Lu was unreasonable, yet he still wanted to ddle in their family’s affairs.

Lu Junqin wasn’t even his own granddaughter, so why care so much about her?

Old Sir Lu was annoyed by the two of them and snorted coldly, “I’ll go ask Junqin. If she agrees to the divorce, I’ll help her, but Xuxu might stay with the Shang Family.”

After all, Shang Chi only had one son; how could he possibly let go?

A group of people headed toward the hospital room.

The noblewoman glanced at Jiang Nanshu with so resentnt.

If it hadn’t been for Jiang Family’s little girl ddling, how could this have co out, making them be scolded like grandchildren? The treatnt as Family Head differed wildly depending on whose hands the power was in.

[No wonder in the plot Lu Junqin would eventually commit suicide; with parents like you, you’d be the last straw that broke her.]

Jiang Nanshu curled up pitifully into Lu Qingyan’s arms, “Sob, Brother Qingyan, did I do sothing wrong? Shouldn’t I have called an ambulance? I feel like I made a mistake. Why is Second Mrs. Lu looking at like that?”

Lu Qingyan glanced coldly at the noblewoman and reached out to smooth her hair, trying to straighten out her frizzled emotions, his voice gentle, “How could you have? Nannan did a good deed; you saved soone, which is a virtuous act. How could anyone bla you?”

He slightly curled his lips, “Second Aunt, my Nannan is timid, don’t scare her.”

The noblewoman’s face turned green with anger.

No wonder Lu Mother disliked Jiang Nanshu; she disliked her too!

With looks like a seductress, she could only bewitch n with her face!

But she didn’t dare to offend Lu Qingyan.

The heir apparent.

If her own son could compete with Lu Qingyan’s excellence.

But among their peers.

Lu Qingyan’s intellectual prowess was unmatched, leaving everyone in the dust.

Truly, heaven had bestowed upon him both status and a brilliant mind.

“I didn’t say anything; as the future mother of the Family Head, her temperant is not suitable for the task!” the noblewoman retorted.

Lu Qingyan fondly pinched Jiang Nanshu’s cheek, not taking the noblewoman seriously, “Then it’s not for you to worry about.”

Because she wasn’t qualified.

The noblewoman’s face turned iron blue as she stord into the room.

Jiang Nanshu’s eyes twinkled, “Brother Qingyan, you’re so handso, especially when you speak up for . It’s so charming.”

Lu Qingyan smiled back, “Then do you like even more now?”

Jiang Nanshu didn’t blink, “When have I not cherished you? My love for you is engraved in my bones.”

[Great, great, great, offend the entire family for . Wait until you inherit the Lu Family and beco the iron-fisted commander.]

Lu Qingyan chuckled softly, finally admitting, “You better not deceive .”

“I’ve never been good at lying since I was little,” Jiang Nanshu said, feeling oddly strange in her heart as she spoke.

He always felt like Lu Qingyan knew sothing.

Otherwise, despite all the sweet nothings she had said, he kept repeating that she should not deceive people.

“If you found out I was just deceiving you, what would you do? You couldn’t possibly lock up, could you? Or would you kill ?”

Kill her he certainly wouldn’t.

But the forr might be plausible.

“I’ll take you back to rest, you don’t need to worry about things here anymore.”

Jiang Nanshu had been hoping to leave.

She was dead tired and hadn’t even had a good sleep.

Lu Qingyan took her back to the villa and left a light kiss on her forehead, “Nannan, good night.”

His steps were hurried.

Jiang Nanshu watched the endless nightlife, his silhouette in a white shirt looking sowhat desolate, like the chill of the deep autumn, and only then did she realize that her shoulders were weighed down. It turned out she was wearing Lu Qingyan’s coat, and her body was absorbing the warmth, which is why she didn’t feel cold.

She took a step forward and called out to him, “Lu Qingyan.”

He turned around.

Under the dim streetlight,

His eyes were clear and gentle.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t know why she had called out to him.

Realizing her loss of composure, she subconsciously made an excuse with the clothes, “Your clothes… you’ll be cold without them.”

Lu Qingyan took a step forward, took the clothes, and smiled with his peach blossom eyes, “Thank you, Nannan.”

He suddenly moved closer, causing Jiang Nanshu to step back in fright, her hands gripping the door fra tightly.

Lu Qingyan’s warm breath sprayed across her, making the quiet space sohow make Jiang Nanshu feel parched.

She thought Lu Qingyan was going to kiss her.

But he just looked at her earnestly, smiling, “You are concerned about now.”

Jiang Nanshu was a bit stunned and did not respond imdiately, her words fumbling, “This, this is quite normal, isn’t it…”

For others,

That was a perfectly normal question.

But for Jiang Nanshu, speaking without revealing her true feelings ant she hadn’t had ti to think.

Was it proof,

That he had made a little ho in her heart?

He bent down and cradled Jiang Nanshu’s face, kissing her lips.

The brief taste was also indescribably sweet.

“Uh-huh, Nannan, care for more in the future, I’ll be happier.”

Jiang Nanshu fluttered her almond eyes, probing, “Then be careful on your way.”

Sure enough, Lu Qingyan’s smile widened a bit.

“So you like this? You should have told earlier, I would have given you a whole basketful.”

Lu Qingyan’s smile faded as he straightened up, “Go inside, I need to deal with Lu Junqin’s situation. Rest well.”

She watched as Lu Qingyan walked away.

Only then did Jiang Nanshu close the door.

She felt the temperature on her shoulders growing cooler.

As if the recent fluttering of her heart was rely a fleeting bloom, returning to calm as the warmth faded.

Jiang Nanshu yawned and went straight to bed.

The next day, she was woken by a series of ringing tones from her phone.

It was from Ms. Song, who had been ignoring her for a week.

Jiang Nanshu was still a bit dazed when she saw it.

After the ringing stopped, she didn’t pick up.

A few minutes later, her phone rang again.

This ti, Jiang Nanshu answered.

Mrs. Jiang’s voice was tired on the other end, “Nannan, stop fooling around, co ho, okay? I won’t drive you away anymore, please forgive Mom, alright?”
