When He Youran saw that Lu Qingzhuo did not continue asking questions, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
She carefully massaged Lu Qingzhuo’s legs to confirm the condition of his muscles and asked him some more questions after he recovered.
Lu Qingzhuo answered all of them one by one.
The conversation between the two was business-like. However, this kind of normal interaction when he was diagnosed by a doctor made Lu Qingzhuo feel inexplicably anxious.
A fire burned in his heart. He could not suppress it, nor could he let it out.
“Your leg has recovered very well.” He Youran stood up after the examination.
“Yes,” Lu Qingzhuo replied casually.
He Youran did not notice that he was distracted. She was only happy for him.
Once Lu Qingzhuo’s leg had recovered, he would be able to appear in front of people normally. He would be able to salvage the image of the Lu family in the imperial capital and have the confidence to continue fighting against the he family in the imperial capital.
As for He Yaobai, although they were both young masters of wealthy families, she still had a better feeling about Lu Qingzhuo.
If she was given a choice, she hoped that Lu Qingzhuo could win in the confrontation between Lu Qingzhuo and He Yaobai.
She rubbed her chin as if she had already connected the scene of Lu Qingzhuo standing at the peak of China’s business and smiled.
“... Miss He, Miss He?”
Lu Qingzhuo called He Youran twice. Seeing that she didn’t respond, he couldn’t help but gently touch her arm.
“Huh?” He Youran came back to her senses and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I want to ask you to keep the recovery of my leg a secret for the time being,” Lu Qingzhuo said.
“You don’t want to alert the enemy?” He Youran was a smart person, so she naturally understood what he meant.
“Yes.” Lu Qingzhuo nodded and didn’t hide anything, “With such a big incident happening in the Lu family, it’s been very difficult for them to develop these past few years. Whether they’re human or ghost, they all want a share of the profits from our Lu family. But even though the Lu family is in decline, it’s also the second largest family in China. It won’t be easy for those people to make a move. I want to take advantage of this period of time to figure out which group of people are stirring up trouble.”
“And then, wipe them out in one fell swoop?” He Youran continued.
“Yes.” Lu Qingzhuo smiled. “Only by wiping out all the enemies can we rest easy.”
“Okay.”
He Youran nodded in agreement.
She felt that it wasn’t a big deal to help Lu Qingzhuo hide the truth.
“Also, I have a presumptuous request.” Lu Qingzhuo hesitated for a moment before he decided to speak.
He wanted to propose that He Shouxin be his adopted son.
Whether it was from his good impression of He Youran or to prevent He Yaobai.
He wanted to take this opportunity to have a closer relationship with He Youran.
“Mr. Lu, please go ahead.”
“I want Shouxin to be my adopted son.”
“What did you say?” He Youran thought she heard wrong.
Lu Qingzhuo was famous in the business world, but for some reason, he felt a little nervous when he faced He Youran. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to loosen his tie.
“This proposal is a little presumptuous, but...” He thought about his choice of words. “My grandmother and Shouxin... I can guarantee that he will live a good life in the Lu family. We will all love him very much. In the future, I will let him take over –”
“Mr. Lu, your proposal is a good thing for others, but I’m sorry,” He Youran interrupted him, “Shouxin is a simple-minded child. He’s not suited to live in a business environment where everyone is scheming against each other. Although Mr. Lu promised to protect him well, I don’t have the intention to let him escape from his normal childhood for the time being.”
Lu Qingzhuo: “...”
Did He Shouxin not have a normal childhood after coming to the Lu Family?
Even though the Lu family was in a mess, they could definitely protect them well!
