“Let me rub it for you,” Lu Zhi pulled her calf onto his knee and rubbed the bruised area gently.
Jiang Yining only felt numbness and itchiness where he touched her. “I can do it myself.1‘
“It’s not effective if you rub it yourself/’ Lu Zhi was unrelenting.
Jiang Yining wasn’t used to such intimate behavior, but she couldn’t break free. She could only let him be.
After a long while, Lu Zhi finally released her after he was sure that the swelling on her calf had subsided.
“Remember to apply some bruising cream on it.”
“Hm.”
Jiang Yining lowered her head, turned and ran away with a flushed face.
Lu Zhi looked at her fleeing figure and a faint smile lingered in his eyes.
Old Madam Lu had been talcing care of Chen Kexin in the hospital for the whole day.
It was too late at night to go home, so she slept on a cot in Chen Kexin’s ward.
The next morning after she woke up…
She came out of the bathroom after washing up and overheard the conversation between Chen Qinglian and a servant. It was only then that she found out that Jiang Yining had gotten into trouble again and offended the Tao family.
Without another word, she rushed back to the old residence in a rage.
She found her husband and kicked up a big fuss. “See? She’s getting more and more outrageous! She used Ah Zhi’s love for her to sow discord between the our family and the Taos. If this continues, the Lu family will be destroyed by this demoness sooner or later! Are you just going to let her be?”
“Who’s been gossiping in front of you?”
Old Master Lu had repeatedly instructed the servants at home not to tell his wife about the incident.
“Don’t worry about how 1 found out. Just tell me how you will deal with Jiang Yining!”
Old Madam Lu would never rat Chen Qinglian out.
“It’s not what you think. I’ve already decided to let Ah Zhi handle the matter.”
Old Master Lu picked up his teacup and blew on it gently.
Just as he was about to drink his tea, Old Madam Lu suddenly reached out and knocked the teacup out of his hand.
“Still in the mood to drink tea? No tea for you’1‘
Boiling hot tea splashed on the two of them.
Old Master Lu’s face darkened. “Can you stop being unreasonable?”
“I’m just thinking for the Lu family! Ah Zhi is already under that woman’s spell. What do you think will happen if you leave this matter to him? I want to know how you’ll explain to your ancestors when the century-old Lu family fall from grace! ” Old Madam Lu said angrily.
T know what I’m doing. Stop nagging.” Old Master Lu said unhappily.
“Hmph, I’m not counting on you anymore. If you don’t care enough to deal with it, I will!”
Old Master Lu sensed that something wasn’t right and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“None of your business!”
Old Madam Lu turned and left after she said that.
The longer Old Master Lu sat on the sofa, the more he felt that something bad was going to happen. He stood up, grabbed his coat and chased after his wife.
Old Madam Lu got into the car and said to the driver, “To Shui Yuan.”
The driver was stunned when he heard this, but he still started the car obediently and drove Old Madam Lu to her destination.
Shui Yuan was where Old Patrich Lu and the other elders from the Lu family lived. Almost everyone who lived there held great power within the Lu family at one time.
People usually wouldn’t dare to disturb them for no reason.
Even someone as noble as Old Madam Lu couldn’t just visit them on a whim.
Old Madam Lu knew very well that her husband favored Ah Zhi and wouldn’t listen to her. And Ah Zhi was bewitched by Jiang Yining and no longer listened to her.
How could she count on the two of them to kick Jiang Yining out of the Lu family?
No way!
The only backer she could find now was Old Patriarch Lu.
She didn’t go to the elders previously because reason wasn’t on her side.
Even if she asked them to come forward, she might not get the results she wanted.
But things were different this time…
If Jiang Yining stirred up a conflict between the Lu and the Tao families, it would greatly damage the Lu family’s interests!
How could the elders of the Lu family sir idly by?
This time, she would definitely kick that witch, Jiang Yining, out of the family!
The car arrived at Shui Yuan.
When Old Madam Lu got out of the car, she reminded the driver, “You’re not allowed to tell anyone that I’m here. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
The driver was scared.
He was indeed going to secretly call the old master and tell him.
But he didn’t dare to call him now.
Old Madam Lu went into Shui Yuan.
About an hour later, she walked out holding the arm of a sprightly old man with a head full of white hair.
“Dad, be careful.1‘
“Hm.” Old Patriarch Lu nodded.
They both got into the car and the driver started the car quickly.
Jiang Yining had no classes in the morning, so she woke up slightly later and came downstairs for breakfast only at 10 a.m.
After she had her leisurely breakfast, Lu Zhi called her into the study to start her job as his assistant.
“Ger me a cup of coffee. No sugar. The temperature has to be around 50 degrees before I drink it.”
Why so many requirements for a cup of coffee?
Jiang Yining cursed in her heart, but she still obediently did as he asked.
But right after she brought him coffee, Lu Zhi asked her to massage his shoulders.
Jiang Yining walked behind him and kneaded his shoulders perfunctorily. “I’ve run out of strength.”
“Rest for a while before you continue.” Lu Zhi replied expressionlessly while staring at his computer screen.
Jiang Yining secretly snorted. “Aren’t you going to the office?”
“Impatient already?”
“No…”
Jiang Yining gave him an insincere smile.
She didn’t like doing trivial things. She saw that as a waste of life.
Lu Zhi tapped on his keyboard a few times and said, “You’d better not be. Come, tell me what you think about this smart program.”
When Jiang Yining heard this, she couldn’t help but be interested and went over to his computer.
She began to study the code.
Lu Zhi looked up and stared at her delicate profile, his eyes smiling possessively.
Jiang Yining studied the code for a while, then pointed at the screen and said, “There’s a typo in this end statement.”
She turned her head slightly and saw Lu Zhi’s handsome face inches away from hers.
Their lips were so close together.
She could even feel his breath.
Jiang Yining froze on the spot and forgot to move back.
Silence filled the air.
After a long time, Lu Zhi lifted his slender hand and pinched her delicate chin. He teased, “You are not trying to steal a kiss from me, right?”
Jiang Yining reacted at once and moved back on instinct.
However, Lu Zhi had already expected her reaction and put his hand on her back.
Her sudden backward movement caused her to bounce forward and fall into his arms.
Thud!
Her head hit his chin hard.
Lu Zhi could feel the vibration in his skull.
Her head was really hard, he thought to himself with a slight frown.
Jiang Yining clutched her head and struggled out of his arms. She said, “Lu Zhi, can you focus on your work and stop kidding around?”
“I also want to focus on my work. Who asked you to keep seducing me?” Lu Zhi replied calmly.
Jiang Yining widened her eyes and said in embarrassment, “When did I seduce you?”
“Just now, your eyes were filled with the desire to be kissed.”
Jiang Yining roiled up her sleeves, ready to fight him to death!
But when her eyes met Lu Zhi’s, she stopped herself.
Forget it!
She couldn’t beat him in a fist fight!
She’d let him win for a while longer..
