Chapter 371: It Wasn’t That She Did Not Love Him but She Loved Him Very Much
“While you were still asleep the next morning, Grandpa called Sister-in-Law to meet him in the courtyard. Grandpa gave her three conditions that she has to fulfill before he would even consider giving her the chance to be with you. In addition to the three conditions, Yuning also have to give all the shares and dividends that she owns in Xiya Hotel and Dongheng Enterprise to Grandpa. Yuning agreed to all of Grandpa’s terms because she understands his temper very well. She knew that he would definitely reject the idea and give both of you a hard time if she had refused to do what he had asked her to. That is why she decided to give in and compromise just so she could win over his heart, slowly but surely.”
“Yuning has always been a very intelligent girl and sometimes, it feels as though she has the ability to read other people’s minds. That is why she is willing to go all in and sacrifice all that she has to prove her sincerity to Grandpa.”
“Second Brother, I hope that you will pretend not to know of this matter. I am afraid that Yuning will scold me for telling you about it.”
“In fact, this is the reason why she has been so busy with work lately. She has to think of all the possible ways that she could earn more money to prove her ability to Grandpa. So, don’t blame her for not spending a lot of time with you.”
After she was done speaking, Chen Jingshu could see that the expression in Lu Jingzhi’s eyes had already softened. She could not help but smile because she knew that Lu Jingzhi would definitely understand the pain and trouble that Jiang Yuning was going through because of him. Therefore, she turned her wheelchair around and headed to her room so that Lu Jingzhi could have some space and private time to think.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi suddenly recalled that the little descendant had indeed been acting rather strangely that night.
No wonder.
Although Second Young Master Lu had felt abandoned and lonely for the past few days, he suddenly felt very satisfied and loved at the moment.
It wasn’t that she did not love him but she loved him very much.
Lu Jingzhi then received a text message from Jiang Yuning in the middle of the night: “Second Brother, Second Brother...I received an invitation to become the brand ambassador for a company specializing in hemorrhoid creams. Do you think that I should accept the job offer? Hahaha...”
Lu Jingzhi felt very distressed after reading her text message.
He knew that Jiang Yuning was only texting him because she wanted to test the waters. She wanted to see whether he was still upset at her.
“Accept it!”
“Ah! Ah! You think that I should accept it? I feel that I should accept it too! After all, the endorsement fee is close to eight figures! However, I just feel that I am already starting to itch because it’s a hemorrhoid cream.”
Lu Jingzhi was speechless.
“Hehehe. Second Brother, why aren’t you sleeping yet? By the way, I just want you to know that I have not been deliberately ignoring you for the past few days...I feel really bad about it. I was just busy thinking about how I can make more money since I am thinking of enrolling in acting school during the second half of next year.”
She was really good at making up excuses.
“Do you want to see my abs?” Lu Jingzhi suddenly suggested out of the blue.
“Yes! Yes! Oh my god. Is this a form of charity?”
“Silly girl.” Only a fool would choose to face his grandfather on her own.
He wondered what his grandfather would feel if he found out that he had already been in love with Jiang Yuning ever since he was sixteen. Moreover, he loved her so deeply, with all of his heart.
Of course, since the little descendant had already laid out the foundation for both of them, he could start expressing his feelings and intentions to his grandfather then, little by little. He knew that the old man would definitely flip and have a heart attack if he confessed his love for Jiang Yuning immediately. After all, she was supposed to be his younger sister-in-law...how could his grandfather accept the fact that she would become Lu Jingzhi’s wife instead?
Furthermore, Lu Jingzhi was the heir and only hope of the Lu family. Therefore, the old man had very high expectations of him.
However, he would never let his little descendant down.
“Hurry up! I want to see your abs. Abs!” Jiang Yuning quickly urged him.
“Wait for it.” Lu Jingzhi got up from the sofa in the living room of the Lu family mansion before he went into his bedroom. After that, he took off his coat and sweater, leaving only a thin white shirt on himself.
After unbuttoning the top two buttons of his shirt, Lu Jingzhi picked up his cell phone before sending Jiang Yuning a video call request.
At this time, Jiang Yuning was waiting excitedly and she was already drooling all over her pillow...
