Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Old Master Lu’s second son, Lu Dong, is a bit of a bookworm. He went to university for postgraduate studies and then pursued a PhD. Now, he’s teaching at a university. I heard that he barely has any social interactions and spends most of his free time reading books.
“His wife is the daughter of his postgraduate teacher.”
Xia Wan nodded repeatedly and secretly memorized the information about the Lu family.
According to Yang Chao, if Old Master Lu passed away, the power of the Lu family would basically be in the hands of Lu Lin’s father, Lu Xi.
Lu Xi owned a company and was rich and powerful.
Although Lu Jing was very upright, it was precisely because he was too upright and disdained to take advantage of others that she guessed that most of the Lu family’s assets had fallen into Lu Xi’s hands after Old Master Lu’s death. Or perhaps Lu Xi had given Lu Jing and Lu Dong money, but the power was still in his hands.
In this way, Lu Xi would help Lu Lin settle whatever despicable things he did.
Lu Jing and Lu Xi probably didn’t know what happened to her family in her previous life.
Now that she had the chance to see Old Master Lu in advance, Xia Wan was happy.
Seeing that Xia Wan didn’t say anything else, Yang Chao didn’t say anything else.
He always felt that this girl was not simple. She was full of vigor when facing Lu Lin, and she was not nervous at all when talking to Lu Jing. Her mental strength was very strong.
It was either because they had a good family education or because they had experienced a lot.
When they were almost there, Yang Chao said, “Turn right after this intersection.”
Xia Wan nodded and didn’t say anything.
Seeing that she didn’t seem nervous at all, Yang Chao admired Xia Wan even more.
The Lu family’s old residence was located in a villa area. The villas here were very scattered, with a considerable distance between them.
It was challenging to find a taxi because most residents in the villa area had private cars and didn’t rely on taxis.
When the car reached the gate, it was stopped.
The two security guards asked about their identities. Coincidentally, Lu Jing’s car arrived at this time. He took the initiative to say, “Open the door; this is an important guest.”
The security guard immediately opened the iron gate and welcomed them in.
Yang Chao and Lu Lin went to park the car while Xia Wan followed Lu Jing to see the old man.
Lu Jing smiled. “Father hasn’t been in a good mood recently. He might be happy to see you. You can talk to him more about your grandfather.”
Xia Wan nodded and did not say anything else.
When she arrived at the living room, Xia Wan saw an old man sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper. He was wearing reading glasses, and his hair was half-white. He had a commanding presence that couldn’t be ignored.
“Dad, look who I brought here,” Lu Jing said happily.
Old Master Lu put down the newspaper and looked over.
When he saw Xia Wan, Old Master Lu was still a little puzzled. “This is?”
Xia Wan took the initiative to walk over and said to Old Master Lu with a smile, “Hello, Grandpa Lu. My name is Xia Wan. I’m the one who spoke to you on the phone earlier.”
Old Master Lu was in a daze for a moment, then his eyes lit up with joy. “You are Xia Wan? Good child, quickly sit down.”
Xia Wan couldn’t resist Old Master Lu’s enthusiasm and sat down beside him.
Lu Jing asked the servants to prepare fruits and tea.
Old Master Lu observed Xia Wan and nodded. “Yes, you’re a good child. It’s a pity that my Lu Lin is a disappointment. It’s only right that you don’t like him.”
In front of Old Master Lu, Xia Wan naturally wouldn’t say anything negative about Lu Lin.
Even though Lu Lin had done many wrongs, he was still Old Master Lu’s biological grandson, and their relationship was closer than hers.
When Old Master Lu asked Xia Wan about her grandfather, Xia Wan didn’t mind. She took the initiative to talk about some of the principles that her grandfather had taught her when she was young.
After hearing Xia Wan say that she had followed her grandfather to practice medicine in the village and learned some medical skills, the old man even reached out his hand and said, “Then you have to let me take a look. Your grandfather’s medical skills are very good.”
Seeing Old Master Lu’s expectant look, Xia Wan also started to take his pulse.
In fact, even if the old man did not say it, she would have checked Old Master Lu’s health. In her previous life, Old Master Lu passed away in less than three years. She took this opportunity to check if Old Master Lu had any hidden health issues..
