A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

"I think you've figured it out too." Lu Yujing didn't intend to beat around the bush.

"I do like Yi Yi. I want to date her with the intention of getting married, and I am prepared to spend my life with her."

“I don’t know what concerns you and your family have, but please believe me, since I chose Yi Yi, I will always stand by her side and will not allow anyone to bully her.”

"If you have any concerns because of my family, it is completely unnecessary, because my grandparents and parents are all very open-minded people."

"They never required their future granddaughters-in-law or daughters-in-law to be from prominent families or of similar social standing..."

"Political Commissar, my Yi Yi already has a boyfriend." Jian Yiwei mustered up his courage and interrupted Lu Yujing.

The fact that there were no requirements does not mean there were no requirements.

He knew a little about the Lu family's situation.

This includes the incident where Old Mrs. Lu chased after Lu Yujing with a large stack of photos of well-bred young ladies and rich girls, picking them out from among them.

As the only male grandson of the Lu family in this generation, the Lu family patriarch and matriarch had high hopes for him.

His future was destined to be extraordinary.

How could such extraordinary people live an ordinary life with their beloved Yiyi?!

“Jian Yiwei!” Lu Yujing said in a deep voice.

"Here!" Jian Yiwei jumped up and stood at attention.

"Do you dare swear on the epaulets on your shoulders for what you just said?" Lu Yujing's voice was serious, and his expression was cold and stern.

Jian Yiwei turned his head to look at the epaulets on his shoulder, then lowered his head and remained silent.

“Jian Yiwei, I know you really care about Yiyi. I called you over just to have a good talk with you. If you have any concerns, or if your family has any concerns, you can tell me. We can work together to find a solution instead of just running away.”

"You've been with me for so long, you should know my personality. I'm not the kind of frivolous person. I'm serious about liking Yi Yi, and I genuinely want to spend my life with her."

“Jian Yiwei, when a suspect goes to court, the judge will state the charges against him. You can’t just sentence me to death without saying anything, can you?!” Lu Yujing gave a bitter smile.

Other people's daughters and sisters all hope to marry into a wealthy family, so why doesn't it work for them?

“Political Commissar, our Jian family is just an ordinary working class. The gap between our two families is too great, it’s not appropriate,” Jian Yiwei said in a low voice, his head down.

"Just because of this?" Lu Yujing asked helplessly.

"Isn't Grandma Lu already looking for a wife for you?" Jian Yiwei gritted his teeth and said what had been weighing on his mind.

He didn't want to say it originally, but he insisted on having a reason.

That's the reason.

He was looking for a wealthy and refined young lady at home, while he was saying that he wanted to spend his life with his Yi Yi.

They are ordinary people, but they also know the importance of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame.

It's not necessary to climb that high branch.

"I have to explain this. My mother-in-law brought me a stack of photos to choose from, but I didn't even look at them," Lu Yujing quickly said.

"You didn't tell Yiyi about this, did you?"

Jian Yiwei shook his head.

He thought to himself, "I haven't had time yet!"

"Don't tell her about this." Lu Yujing pushed the teacup towards Jian Yiwei.

The girl didn't think much of him to begin with; if she finds out about this, how could she possibly have a good impression of him?!

"Is this an order?" Jian Yiwei asked.

"No, I'm asking for a favor." Lu Yujing immediately denied it, unusually humble.

"Political Commissar, it's no use telling me all this. The most important thing is to see what my Yi Yi thinks," Jian Yiwei stated directly.

A relationship requires the consent of both parties; one party's opinion alone is not enough.

Moreover, from his observation, his Yi Yi didn't seem to have much interest in the man in front of him.

Lu Yujing: "..."

How could he not know that?!

"I called you here today not to ask you to do anything for me..."

Jian Yiwei pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lu Yujing still keenly caught the fleeting suspicion in his eyes.

If it were any other day, if anyone dared to question him like that, he would have shown them why the flowers were so red long ago.

But now...

There was nothing he could do but endure it.

He didn't even dare to give him a hard time.

Lu Yujing took a deep breath. "Yi Yi is still young and doesn't have a clear understanding of the future yet. I hope you won't instill too many of your personal ideas in her."

[Especially the unfriendly comments about him.] These words rolled around in Lu Yujing's throat a few times, but he finally swallowed them back down with his tea.

“My Yi Yi is still quite young…” Jian Yiwei muttered softly.

Lu Yujing's fist hardened instantly.

Why didn't this bastard mention that the girl was still young when he was looking for a boyfriend for her?!

It's too small for him!?

"I can wait."

“Yi Yi can’t cook,” Jian Yiwei added.

"I will learn it."

Before Jian Yiwei could say anything more, Lu Yujing quickly added, "If all else fails, there's always Auntie and Yunlai's cook."

Finally, he added, "My housekeeper's cooking is just as good as the chef from Yunlai."

"Ring ring ring..."

Just then, the phone on the low table rang.

Lu Yujing quickly picked it up.

Before he could speak, Grandma Lu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Jingjing, I heard from your mother that you have a boyfriend?"

Perhaps because they were so close, every word that Old Mrs. Lu said reached Jian Yiwei's ears.

"Not yet, but I will try my best..." Lu Yujing readily admitted.

"It's not done yet?" Mrs. Lu's voice on the other end of the phone was clearly disappointed.

"I will try my best," Lu Yujing said again.

"How old is that girl? Where is she from? What do her parents do? How many siblings does she have?" Old Mrs. Lu asked one question after another.

“She’s seventeen. Her family is in the south of the city. Her father is a worker. She also has an older sister, but her sister was brought over by her stepmother.” Lu Yujing made no attempt to hide anything.

His little girl needs nothing else to embellish her.

"Only seventeen?" Lu Yujing said a lot, but Old Madam Lu only paid attention to this.

Seventeen...

She has to wait another three years, no, four years, before she can hold her great-grandson.

The thought of having to wait another 1,460 days made Old Mrs. Lu feel terrible.

"Jingjing, seventeen? Isn't that a bit young? You're already twenty-three. By the time she's twenty, you'll be twenty-six..." Old Mrs. Lu tentatively asked.

"Grandma, she's the one for me in this life." Lu Yujing said firmly.

"What do you mean 'she'? Did that young girl even agree to be with you? Lu Yujing, let me tell you, if you dare to act recklessly, I'll skin you alive!" came the furious voice of Old Master Lu from the other end of the phone.

Judging from these words, it seems they had been eavesdropping from the sidelines for a while.

"Lu Zhan, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Then came the sound of Old Mrs. Lu jumping up and down.

"Spoiling a child is like killing him!"

"Have you ever spoiled my Jingjing? You sent such a young child to the army..."

Finally, it was the sound of Old Master Lu admitting his mistake and apologizing.
