The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife
Chapter 10: No matter which side you go to, you are still the same
Except for Lu Jingchuan who had not arrived yet, everyone else was seated at the table. Old Master Lu sat at the main seat, Lu Jingshen and Lin Qing sat to his left, and there were two empty seats next to each other opposite Lu Jingshen.
"Some people haven't arrived yet. Let's wait two more minutes." Mr. Lu said and looked at the time again.
"The focus of today's family gathering is about Jingchuan. I plan to arrange a marriage for Jingchuan." Mr. Lu said seriously.
"I wonder which girl Dad has chosen for Jingchuan." Lu Jingshen's second aunt Han Shucui asked.
"Qingqing knows me." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
"Do I know him?" Lin Qing asked questioningly, looking at the person who was talking to her.
"This is what I think. It's a perfect marriage. You marry Jingshen, and your sister happens to graduate this year, so I will match her with Jingchuan. It's perfect!" Mr. Lu became more and more satisfied as he spoke. As he spoke, he glanced to his left and nodded repeatedly to show his goodwill.
"Lu Jingchuan already has a girlfriend!" Lu Jingshen spoke with a cold expression, and the color of his pupils instantly turned cold, which was not easy to notice without careful observation.
"After much thought, I think Ran is the right girl to marry."
Lu Jingshen poured a glass of water and drank it. People who knew him well knew that he was in a very bad mood. The calmer he was, the more something was wrong.
Lin Qing noticed that Lu Jingshen's hand was about to crush the cup, and moved his feet under the table to remind him to pay attention to the occasion and restrain himself.
Lu Jingchuan and Lin Jiaran walked into the house one after another. When they heard the sound of people walking from the entrance, Lu Jingshen let go of his hand. They sat with their backs to the direction where Lin Jiaran was walking.
"Miss Ran is here!" As soon as Lin Jiaran walked in, Mr. Lu greeted her with a smile.
"Grandpa Lu!" Lin Jiaran called politely.
Walking to the dining table, Lin Jiaran nodded and smiled at Lu Jingshen's second uncle and aunt as a greeting. After all, she was only familiar with Mr. Lu and Lu Jingchuan in the Lu family, and she didn't know the others. This was also her first formal meeting with them.
Ever since she sat opposite him, Lu Jingshen's eyes had been looking towards her intentionally or unintentionally, and Old Man Lu had been glancing at Lu Jingshen out of the corner of his eyes.
"The atmosphere seems a bit weird. What's going on?" Lu Jingchuan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Lu Cheng, have someone serve the food." Old Master Lu instructed the people around him. Lu Cheng is the steward of the Lu family. He is also the oldest person in the Lu family besides Old Master Lu. He is also highly respected in the Lu family. Whenever Lu Cheng comes out, it represents the prestige of Old Master Lu.
"Take the wine away." The Lu family's servant poured the wine that Mr. Lu usually drank as usual, but Mr. Lu ordered someone to take it away.
"Dad, are you feeling unwell?" Lu Jingshen's second uncle asked. Grandpa Lu usually had a habit of drinking two sips of wine before meals. Except for not feeling well, he did everything else as usual. Grandpa Lu's abnormal behavior today made people worried.
"It's okay." Mr. Lu waved his hand, but with a slight sigh, it was a bit suspicious to say that he was not sick.
Are you really feeling unwell? Lu Jingchuan couldn't help but wonder.
"Jingchuan, you must take good care of Miss Ran from now on." Mr. Lu suddenly spoke again during the meal.
"She's that old and she needs me to take care of her?"
"Do I need your care?" The two of them disliked each other.
"Okay, okay, they really look like a couple!"
"How can they look like a couple!" they both said in unison.
"Good, good, good!" Mr. Lu cheered repeatedly and even laughed.
There were all kinds of people at the dinner table. Lu Jingshen was in an extremely unhappy mood, staring at Lu Jingchuan with murderous eyes. Lin Qing kept kicking his feet to remind him.
"I'm full!" Lu Jingshen put down his chopsticks and stood up and left the table.
Mr. Lu glanced at the person who left the table.
"Ran girl, you can stay here tonight. I have already arranged a room. You can live across from Jingchuan, or next door is fine."
"Grandpa Lu, I don't like Lu Jingchuan, so thank you for your kindness." Lin Jiaran looked at Grandpa Lu and said seriously. She had a very good relationship with Lu Jingchuan. She was the only friend besides Xu Hui with whom she could talk about anything. She knew that Lu Jingchuan didn't like girls, and she also knew some of the love-hate relationship between him and the person he liked.
"Aren't you and Jingchuan usually very close?"
"If we are close we have to be in love, right?" Lu Jingchuan rolled his eyes. There was no need for his grandfather to do this if he wanted to kill him. If looks could kill, he would have died countless times just now.
Lu Jingshen walked over to the living room and sat there, his face as cold as a glacier.
Lin Jiaran did not stay long after dinner. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Mr. Lu would misunderstand her relationship with Lu Jingchuan again. Lin Qing naturally used the excuse that it was not safe for Lin Jiaran to go back alone and they left together.
Lu Jingshen and Lu Jingchuan were told by the old man to stay in the old house tonight. They didn't live here for a long time and came back to stay for a night occasionally, but they also had their own rooms. Except for Lu Jingshen's second uncle who didn't live in the old house often due to work distance, everyone else in his family lived in the old house.
After the two Lin sisters left, Mr. Lu gave a brief summary of the family gathering and called Lu Jingshen and his brother aside for individual questioning. Because they were older and had special family backgrounds, Lu Jingshen's father had died of illness more than 20 years ago, and his mother had remarried and rebuilt the family.
The Lu family also has complicated internal conflicts. Lu Jingshen's second uncle worked diligently for many years before he got the position of vice president, but the young Lu Jingshen is in charge of all the Lu family's businesses, big and small. Lu Jingshen's second aunt is not in harmony with him, and the relationship between the brothers is not deep.
"I have already decided on the matter between Jingchuan and Ran. Any opinions you have are useless. She must marry into the Lu family anyway." Old Master Lu walked slowly in front of the two of them, leaning on a crutch with one hand and holding the other behind his back.
"You want me to marry her, then I'll die?" Lu Jingchuan sat on the sofa with a bad attitude.
"I don't agree." Lu Jingshen followed with a blank expression.
For a moment he felt that the old man seemed to be targeting him deliberately. It seemed that the old man knew what he was thinking but he just wouldn't say it. His attitude was clearly trying to mess with his mentality, and he was helpless.
"Why are you meddling in this? You married the eldest, so do you want to marry the second? Both of them?" Old Master Lu walked over with his crutches and poked Lu Jingshen's leg with the cane.
"Just let him marry, don't let me. Who cares how many wives he marries!" Lu Jingchuan said very unhappily. He has already found an actress, so why is he still not giving up?
"He is him, you are you, he marries the eldest, you marry the second, no matter which side you are on, the seniority is not different, how great." Old Master Lu still talked to himself, but he kept walking back and forth in front of Lu Jingshen. When he turned his back to the two of them, the corners of his mouth curled up and revealed an inexplicable and meaningful smile.
"Bullshit!" Old Master Lu had his back to the two of them. Lu Jingshen secretly kicked Lu Jingchuan. Lu Jingchuan was so anxious that he said something disrespectful to an old man in his eighties.
"You have no respect." Old Master Lu turned around and hit Lu Jingchuan with his cane.
