Chapter 127: Matchmaking
Liang Ruo stood in the living room with Chen Lin in her arms. The two smiled intimately. Liang Ruo said something in Chen Lin's ear, which made Chen Lin burst into laughter.
After speaking, Liang Ruo raised his eyes, as if he had just seen the person at the door, and smiled softly: "Brother Yan, Xingchen, you are back."
The moment Lu Yanbei saw Liang Ruo, he subconsciously looked at Ji Xingchen, who had a cold expression with no emotion on his face.
He stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms and said calmly: "Why are you here?"
Liang Ruo was stunned, probably because he didn't expect Lu Yanbei to ask him that.
It was Chen Lin who spoke for her first: "I asked her to come. Ruoruo has been back to China for so long, and it happened to be the family dinner today, so I asked her to come over. After all, Ruoruo was also a member of our Lu family before."
Liang Ruo said warmly: "Didn't grandpa be hospitalized some time ago? I just had time today so I wanted to come and see his old man."
"I didn't see you in person when I was in the hospital, but you were very attentive after I was discharged." Ji Xingchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his voice neither salty nor cool.
Like a simple statement, she didn't wait for Liang Ruo's answer. She changed her slippers, called Aunt Chen and went in.
Chen Lin didn't have a good face. It was okay if Lu Yanbei didn't call her mom. The daughter-in-law she married had never called her mom in so many years, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Liang Ruo is better, sweet-tongued and knows how to coax people.
She originally intended to match up Liang Ruo and Lu Yanbei, but Mr. Lu interfered and the marriage turned into a marriage between the Ji and Lu families.
Of course, Chen Lin didn't have good intentions in bringing Liang Ruo and Lu Yanbei together. Liang Ruo was from an ordinary family and couldn't help Lu Yanbei in his career. If they got married, it would be much less threatening than marrying Ji Xingchen.
Over the years, Chen Lin has been trying hard to have a son with Lu Qing. Unfortunately, Lu Qing is old and has to take medicine. She has been unable to conceive all these years.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin felt disgusted. She was still young, at the age when she was like a wolf and a tiger, but her husband could not satisfy her, which made her depressed all day long.
Liang Ruo saw that Chen Lin didn't know what she was thinking about, her face became much colder, and there was resentment in her eyes. Her eyes moved slightly and she said softly: "Aunt Chen, it's windy at the door, let's go in."
Chen Lin retracted her thoughts, smiled and patted Liang Ruo's hand: "You are still considerate and much more sensible than Ji Xingchen."
Liang Ruo curved her lips and smiled: "Aunt Chen, don't say that. Xingchen is also very good, but she is not good at words."
Chen Lin snorted coldly when she heard this: "You are still speaking for her, didn't you see how arrogant she was just now? One day the Ji family falls, I will see if her tail can still be raised."
Chen Lin doesn't like Lu Yanbei, so naturally she won't like Ji Xingchen either.
Liang Ruo: "How could the Ji family, which has such a big business, collapse?"
Chen Lin thought of the phone call Lu Qing made in the study that day and sneered with unknown meaning: "Who knows."
Liang Ruo looked at Chen Lin's face, feeling suspicious but ignorant and didn't ask any more questions.
Liang Ruo smiled and coaxed a few words, and then made Chen Lin smile.
Lu Qing was in the study. After Ji Xingchen said hello, he went to Mr. Lu's room.
The old man had just been discharged from the hospital and was still lying in bed.
As soon as Ji Xingchen opened the door and walked in, Mr. Lu covered his mouth and kept coughing.
Ji Xingchen smiled and pointed it out: "Grandpa, stop pretending, I know everything."
"What?! Did that bastard tell you all?" When Mr. Lu heard this, he was too embarrassed to continue pretending, and said cheerfully: "Grandpa, this is an act of necessity. Don't blame grandpa."
Ji Xingchen stepped forward to help Mr. Lu sit up and massaged his shoulders: "I know grandpa is doing it for my own good. How can I blame grandpa?"
Mr. Lu: "Have you two reconciled?"
Ji Xingchen's men kept moving: "Grandpa, aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
She didn't believe that Mr. Lu didn't know what happened for so many days. He called Lu Yanbei every night and she was listening.
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Why are you talking to grandpa?"
The words sounded like accusations, but in reality they were all flattering.
Ji Xingchen also laughed: "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me before that it was Lu Yanbei who proposed the marriage?"
Mr. Lu was a little surprised, "This guy even told you this?"
"Yeah." Ji Xingchen's cheeks were stained with a suspicious blush, because these words were said in a breathy voice while they were rubbing their hair together on the bed.
Mr. Lu snorted: "It seems that boy has figured it out."
"Ah?" Ji Xingchen was puzzled.
Mr. Lu said: "You have liked to be with Lu Chen since you were a child. You always talked about how good brother Lu Chen is. He always thought that you didn't like him but liked Lu Chen. Chen Lin wanted to match him up with the girl from the Liang family..."
"Grandpa, you said that Aunt Chen wanted to match Lu Yanbei and Liang Ruo back then?" Ji Xingchen's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. At that time, there were rumors everywhere in the circle that Lu Yanbei was going to marry Liang Ruo. In the face of career and love,
, the young master of the Lu family chose love without hesitation.
For this reason, after Ji Xingchen got drunk in a fit of anger, under Qi Yue's instigation, he ran directly to the Lu family to pull out Lu Yanbei and question him.
She remembered that it was a summer two years ago, and it was a night like this.
She stomped to Lu Yanbei's room, still holding a wine bottle in her hand, and kicked Lu Yanbei's door several times before slowly opening the door.
Lu Yanbei stood in front of her in a black nightgown, with water dripping from his hair. It looked like he had just taken a shower.
When the handsome man came out of the bath, Ji Xingchen was stunned. She even forgot what the purpose of her visit was.
It was Qi Yue who reminded her from behind.
Ji Xingchen looked like he was asking for help: "You want to marry Liang Ruo?"
Ji Xingchen remembered Lu Yanbei's answer at that time: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
These words destroyed Ji Xingchen's customary pride. She was a person who was pampered and was always self-centered in everything she did. In her opinion, it was already shameful for her to come to Lu Yanbei.
Shameless thing.
But the other party only said lightly: Does it have anything to do with you?
If Ji Xingchen was sober, he would definitely leave on the spot.
But Ji Xingchen was drunk that night, completely drunk.
So she stood up on tiptoes and hugged Lu Yanbei's head. With a lightning-fast movement, she quickly kissed the man's lips, biting and licking them.
Qi Yue was stunned behind her.
The man who was taken advantage of did not make any move, he just stood there and kissed her casually.
Ji Xingchen no longer remembers the specific scene at that time, nor does she remember whether Lu Yanbei responded to her. She only remembers that after the kiss, she realized what was going on and called out a name in a cowardly manner: "Brother Shen..."
Why did she call Lu Chen's name? Because she was afraid of Lu Yanbei's rejection. She kissed her for so long without the man making a sound. She was afraid that he would say something unpleasant.
So I deliberately shouted Lu Chen's name before he spoke.
What she responded to later was a sneer from the corner of Lu Yanbei's lips and a voice saying: "Get out of here when you're drunk."
