He knew how proud Jiang Yining was.
She was the kind of person who would punish anyone who dared to offend her. She would never be submissive.
But she took the initiative to apologize to Tao Niannian just now.
If she was willing to do that for him, how could he bear to see her suffer?
Somewhere in Jiang Yining’s heart, a soft spot appeared.
“Actually… It’s not that big of a grievance.”
“I won’t let you suffer any grievances, not even a small one.” Lu Zhi said firmly.
Jiang Yining moved her lips but she didn’t know what to say.
He was the only young man in the world who would protect her unconditionally.
She had never met anyone like him.
Someone who invaded her life like a raging fire and made her feel at a loss.
She wasn’t afraid of anything, but she was at a loss right now.
The two of them looked at each other, and their emotions rippled in silence…
Old Master Lu walked behind the two of them and interrupted their moment with a light cough.
“All Zhi, you were too impulsive.”
Offending the Tao family meant losing the interests of the entire Lu family.
Old Master Lu admired Jiang Yining’s understanding of the big picture just now.
As a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, she responded in the only way that would let the Lu family flourish and thrive.
Lu Zhi retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, “I will take responsibility for my words and actions. Grandpa, if the Tao family and the Lu family fell out because of this, 1 promise that 1 won’t let our family suffer any losses and defeat the Tao family. If I fail, I’ll leave the Lu Corporation.”
His expression was firm and resolute, and his word were compelling.
Old Master Lu looked at his grandson and felt a sense of pride.
His feelings of blame disappeared instantly.
He hadn’t picked the wrong heir!
If Ah Zhi was capable and responsible, so what if he was a little arrogant?
Anyone who was unconvinced could bite the Lu family!
Let’s see who would win!
While secretly pleased, Old Master Lu still said sternly, “Alright, I’ll remember what you said.”
He looked at Jiang Yining beside him and said, “Yining, help me supervise him.”
Jiang Yining nodded slightly.
Old Master Lu put his hands behind his back and walked away.
Jiang Yining thought about what Lu Zhi said and asked worriedly, “Can you really handle the Tao family?”
“You don’t have confidence in your husband?” Lu Zhi asked.
Why was he teasing her at a time like this?
Lu Zhi saw that she was silent for a long time. He raised his hand and stroked her soft long hair. “Don’t worry, 1 never do things I’m not confident in.”
He was so going to handle the Tao family!
At the hospital…
Chen Qinglian received news about the Lu family three to four house later.
She learned that the Tao family and the Lu family had fallen out because of Jiang Yining.
She looked at her haggard daughter with a gratified expression. “Kexin, we are halfway to our victory. Let’s light another fire and get Jiang Yining kicked out of the Lu family!”
Chen Kexin’s eyes flashed with excitement. “Mom, I want to get well soon. 1 want to see her get kicked out of the Lu family with my own eyes.”
She was the one who called Tao Niannian and told her about Pan Qi.
She embellished the story and smeared Jiang Yining.
Her initial hope was for Tao Niannian to make things difficult for Jiang Yining.
She did not expect the two families to fall out completely over this matter.
Chen Kexin’s depressed heart finally felt much better.
“We still have our scapegoat Tao Siyuan. What’s there to be afraid of?”
She had handled everything well. Their plan would never be discovered.
Chen Qinglian had been extra careful after what happened the last time.
“True.”
Chen Kexin held her mother’s hand and put it to her cheek. She snuggled against it as she said, “Mom, I’ll definitely let you enjoy life.”
She would also make sure that Jiang Yining would never make a comeback!
Chen Qinglian revealed a gratified smile.
In the dark of night, the mother and daughter’s ambitions and desires were clear as day.
Jiang Yining received a call from the shop owner, saying that their ceramic mugs were ready for collection.
“Okay, I’ll come by at noon today.”
After hanging up, Jiang Yining asked Ye Xiaoxi if she wanted to go with her.
Ye Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.
She then turned and asked Xiao Yeyu.
“What? I received a call from the shop owner this morning and I’ve already collected my mug on the way to school.”
Xiao Yeyu didn’t dare to go with them because she was afraid that they would discover the words she had carved on her mug.
“So fast? Come, let me see the finished product.” Ye Xiaoxi said.
“Um, I’ve already asked the driver to bring it home.”
“Alright then.”
Ye Xiaoxi felt a little regretful but didn’t force the matter.
Soon, it was noon.
Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi took a bus to pick up their mugs from the shop.
The finished products were beautiful and the shop owner even offered them a 20% discount if they brought their boyfriends along next time.
Ye Xiaoxi teased, “Yining, bring your husband here soon. Don’t let the shop owner forget about you and miss out on the discount.”
Jiang Yining glanced at her indifferently.
Ye Xiaoxi smiled and put her mug into her bag.
At night when Jiang Yining got home, she took out the mug and fiddled with it.
She didn’t know what to say when she gave him the mug.
What if she just gave him the mug?
But when she saw their carved names on the mug, she felt inexplicably shy.
Jiang Yining hesitated.
She was about to keep the mug when Lu Zhi walked up behind her and snatched it from her.
As he looked at it, he asked, “Who are you giving this to?”
“Give it back tome!”
Embarrassed, Jiang Yining stood up and tried to snatch the mug back.
However, the two of them were separated by a sofa.
Lu Zhi took a step back and dodged her easily.
“Why are our names written on it?” Lu Zhi chuckled happily. “There’s even a heart?”
“Ye Xiaoxi made that. She said that she wanted to thank us.” Jiang Yining lied, and her face was flushed. “I was just about to throw it away. Give it back to me.”
“Since it’s a gift for the two of us, how can you decide to get rid of it alone?”
The smile in Lu Zhi’s eyes deepened.
Jiang Yining lowered her head and avoided his gaze. “Don’t you think the words on it feel awkward?”
“Not at all.” Lu Zhi answered without hesitation.
Jiang Yining’s heart skipped a beat and lost its original rhythm.
Plop, plop, plop…
It was as if a deer was stepping on it.
“I like this mug. If you find it awkward, you can give it to me.”
Lu Zhi held the mug in his palm.
Jiang Yining’s cheeks burned like fire when she thought about how she was the one who made the mug.
Her cheeks felt increasingly hotter.
“Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?”
Lu Zhi leaned forward and touched her forehead.
Jiang Yining took a big step back on reflex, but her leg hit the table and she hissed in pain.
Lu Zhi walked around the sofa to her and said, “Why do you look at me like I’m a wolf? I’m not going to eat you, why are you so afraid of me?”
“I’m not afraid of you.” Jiang Yining retorted stubbornly. “I’m going back to my room now. Bye.”
She took a stride and was about to walk off when Lu Zhi held her hand and pressed her down against the sofa..
