118 Should I Not Be Saying This?
In the end, it was Lù Chuan who broke the silence. “Hospitalized? Did she get injured?”
Just as he finished asking, a voice boomed from the second floor.
“Who was injured?”
The Old Master looked down at them over the railing.
Then, he got down via the elevator.
“Father.”
“Grandpa.”
When the Old Master came down, everyone put down the things in their hands and stood up.
Old Master Lù responded to their greetings, and maneuvered his electric wheelchair to the centermost position in the room.
“As you were saying, who was injured?”
His tone was solemn and imposing, and everyone could not help but stiffen.
“No, Father, it’s just…”
Before Shi Qingyue could finish, Lù Yue’an plainly added, “It’s Sister Ning. She’s injured and in the hospital. Our school’s official channels even praised her.”
Old Master Lù glanced at Lù Yue’an, and Lù Yue’an subconsciously gulped.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong? Should I not be saying this?”
She acted like she had done something wrong. Old Master Lù did not say anything else about the matter and looked at her. “Do your homework in your room; this isn’t the place for it.”
Lù Yue’an’s face flushed hot, and she bent down to pack her things. “I’ll go to my room now, Grandpa.”
Shi Qingyue and Lù Chuan exchanged a glance with each other; then, Lù Chuan said, “Father, there’s nothing…”
But before he could finish speaking, he was so frightened by Old Master Lù’s glare that he swallowed his words.
In the Lù family, Old Master Lù was the rules.
“It’s fine, Daddy. I’ll just go back to my room.”
Lù Yue’an sounded a little aggrieved.
She packed up and turned to leave.
“From now on, keep the location in mind whenever you do anything, understand?”
Old Master Lù’s voice came from behind her, slamming into her head like a brick.
Lù Yue’an said in a muffled voice, “Got it, Grandpa.”
She walked into the elevator, got to the third floor, and returned to her room.
Hearing the door closing upstairs, Old Master Lù looked over the two of them.
“Rules aren’t to be broken. They’ve never been broken before, and they won’t be broken now. Do you understand me?”
Shi Qingyue and Lù Chuan nodded. “Understood, Father.”
Old Master looked at them and gestured with his hand. “Sit down.”
They sat down.
“Do you know what it is that she was just saying?”
The two of them looked at each other. Shi Qingyue spoke first, “We don’t know, An’an only just mentioned it when she came back. We don’t know anything else.”
The Old Master lowered his eyes and pondered.
Lù Chuan probed, “Father, should we go see her?”
The Old Master instantly glared up at him. “See whom?! Don’t get yourself involved with people who’re no longer involved with you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he snorted. “Stop pretending to care. You’ve never cared about her since she was in this family. Why do you care about your reputation now?! Keep your thoughts where they belong and run the company well!”
Lù Chuan lowered his head. “I understand, Father.”
The Old Master turned to look at Shi Qingyue. “Have your parents confirmed that they’re coming over?”
Shi Qingyue nodded. “Yes.”
“We have to host them well if they’re coming. That kid from the Lin family is probably coming back soon; did you tell her about this?”
Shi Qingyue said softly, “I mentioned it to An’an once, but I didn’t tell her in detail. Father, this matter…”
Shi Qingyue hesitated before continuing.
Lù Chuan glanced at her, as if wanting her to stop talking, but Shi Qingyue continued, “Father, this matter has been going on for so long after all, and Little Ning has left. Can’t you just ask the Lin family to let this matter go? An’an hasn’t even seen that child from the Lin family.”
