Chapter 156 – In hindsight, I should have pushed Weiyin to marry into your family (3)
In the following days, the Lu household was swamped with work. It was all for Lu’s great-grandson’s first lunar birthday. Mrs. Lu had also specially hired staff from a hotel to come help out. Inside the event hall set up on the lawn, there were cute pictures of Zhouzhou everywhere.
Of course, these photos were taken after Zhouzhou had become adorable.
On the morning of Zhouzhou’s birthday celebration, there was an unending flow of luxury cars arriving in front of Lu’s villa. There were countless people coming and going. All these guests knew that the invitations had been handwritten by Old Master Lu, so of course, they treated this celebration with great importance.
Old Master Lu was all smiles today. He brought Lu Beichuan with him as he talked with his old friends in the event hall.
Mrs. Lu looked graceful and poised in her expensive clothing. She brought Ye Zhen along with her to chat with the ladies in the side hall.
Of course, they hadn’t brought Zhouzhou out with them. With so many people around, it was too noisy. Mrs. Lu was worried an accident might happen, so she ordered a servant to stay in the nursery to keep guard.
“Old Lu, congratulations, you gained a great-grandson!”
Old Master Lu hadn’t been able to stop smiling all morning. Seeing the old friend that came over to congratulate him, he said, “You old rascal, you finally came. If you’re jealous, have your granddaughter find a good man and get married.”
Shen Weiyin came towards them from the inner part of the villa. Standing behind Old Master Shen, she politely smiled and greeted, “Hi Grandpa Lu.”
Old Master Lu looked over Shen Weiyin and sighed. “There’s truly no telling how a girl will look when she grows up. It hasn’t even been that long and Weiyin has grown up to be so beautiful, unlike me, I’ve gotten so old.”
Shen Weiyin gave a smile that was appropriate to the occasion. “Grandpa Lu, you haven’t gotten old. You’re the same as before. You’re still full of energy and in good health. Nothing has changed.”
She was wearing a white dress and light makeup, looking very low-key.
But a woman like her, even if she wasn’t wearing a lot of makeup and standing in a crowd, was still very eye-catching.
Old Master Lu loudly laughed. His face looked kind. “Old Shen, your granddaughter is as likeable and pleasing as before. Alright, your aunts are in the side hall. You should go over there to chat with them. It’s boring for you to stay here and talk with old people.”

Shen Weiyin nodded. “Then, I’ll be leaving first. Grandpa Lu, Beichuan, see you later.”
Lu Beichuan remained expressionless, but Old Master Lu smiled and said, “Old Shen, you’re so lucky. You have such a beautiful and outstanding granddaughter.”
Old Master Shen thoughtfully nodded. Seeming to have other unspoken thoughts, he sighed. “Weiyin is pretty and outstanding, but there’s still no one she’s interested in. I’m worried about that.”
“Why? No one is suitable?”
“I found a few suitable young men, but Weiyin didn’t like any of them. As soon as I mention this, she’ll say she’s busy and doesn’t have time. She’s almost thirty. How can I not be anxious?”
“This type of thing can’t be rushed. Look at Beichuan, no matter how much I tried to force him to settle down, it didn’t work. But look at him now, in one year, not only has he gotten married, he also has a child now.” Old Master Lu smiled. “Stop worrying about it. A child has to be responsible for her own life.”
However, Old Master Shen glared at him. “It’s easy for you to say that. In hindsight, I should have pushed Weiyin to marry into your family. If I had done that, I wouldn’t be worrying now.”
Old Master Lu glared back at his old friend and bluntly criticized him, “Old man, have you gotten muddled-headed in old age? Is marriage something that you can force? If two people don’t like each other, there’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you try to force them together, it won’t work. That sort of thing, it depends on fate.”
Old Master Lu thought his friend was just joking because he was worried, so he wasn’t too concerned about it. However, Lu Beichuan’s gaze lingered on Old Master Shen, and he upped his vigilance.
Translator Ramblings: I want to cheer for Shen Weiyin in pursuing what makes her happy and not bowing down to the pressure of her family to settled down as long as she stays away from Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen.
