Chapter 403
This old man seems to be different from what he imagined, I thought it would be a serious person, but it looks quite gentle and kind.
Ruona wondered why such a kind and benevolent person would be so unsympathetic.
She walked up and crisply shouted, “Grandfather.”
At the sound of the voice, the old man couldn’t stop smiling, “Girl, come over and let grandfather take a look at her.”
Ruona walked over nicely, and the old man carefully sized up her looks, the more he looked, the more he loved her.
He raised his eyes to look at Ethan Lu, “Ethan, this girl’s face is extremely well-born, and she’s a good match for you.”
In the past, he was always worried that his eldest grandson, who was always cold, would be an unmarriageable, but now it seemed that it was just that his fate was yet to come.
Ethan Lu walked over and held Ruona’s hand, smiling and teasing the old man, “When did you learn to read faces, grandfather?”
The old man didn’t look at him askance, “It’s not that grandfather can read faces, but after living for so many years, he’s more or less able to read people. Like, for example.”
He restrained his eyebrows and thought, “That Jerad’s girlfriend, Song what’s-her-name, is just too petty, not suitable for Jerad at all.”
Hearing this, Ruona frowned and was about to open her mouth to defend her best friend, suddenly her hand tightened, she turned to look at the man beside her, only to see him gently shaking his head at himself.
She bit her lip, but finally didn’t open her mouth.
“Grandfather, isn’t it too rash of you to give someone such a comment just by looking at the outside?” Ethan Lu asked in a seemingly serious manner.
The old man snorted, “If it’s like this on the outside, how much better can it be on the inside.”
This was simply looking down on Anya, Ruona really couldn’t help it, “Grandfather, do you know Murphy’s girlfriend?”
She stared at Master Shen with burning eyes, wondering how he could say such hurtful things without knowing someone’s situation.
The old man was stunned, then laughed, “Girl, I don’t need to know about Murphy’s girlfriend, nor do I want to.”
Ruona sneered out, “Grandfather, you don’t want to get to know Murphy’s girlfriend, so what makes you say that she’s small-minded? On what basis do we conclude that she’s not good on the inside?”
“How can you talk with that attitude, sister-in-law?” On the side, Jerad Shen made a disgruntled sound.
The old master also frowned with some displeasure, “Girl, are you questioning me now?”
“No, I’m consulting Grandfather.” Ruona met his eyes without being humble or arrogant.
Ethan Lu was silent as he quietly looked at Ruona, believing that she had the ability to set Grandfather straight.
“Seeking my advice?” The old man lost his smile, then restrained it and stared at her with sharp eyes, “What is your relationship with Murphy’s girlfriend?”
“Good friend.” Ruona replied.
The old man nodded in sudden realization, “So that’s it. So you’re here to be a lobbyist?”
“No, I just have a question I want to ask Grandpa.”
“If your question is about that woman, then you don’t need to consult me.” The old man acted as if he didn’t want to say anything more, then gave his expulsion order, “Ethan, you can go back. I’m tired and need to rest.”
How could Ruona just let it go, she had to do something for Anya today.
So, she took a deep breath and said directly to the point, “Grandpa, you should try to get to know Anya, you will find that she is a very good girl, she is beautiful, filial and kind, really a very good girl.”
“Whether she’s nice or not, I’ll see for myself, no need for you to say.” The old man was a little angry.
Ruona was not afraid in the slightest, “Grandfather, people must get along before they know whether the other is good or bad. How can you know if she’s good or bad just by ‘looking’ at her?”
“Ethan, take her and get out of here!” The old man completely lost the joy he had when he first met Ruona.
In the meantime, Ethan Lu spoke up to speak for Ruona, “Grandfather, what Hatsumi said wasn’t wrong. Jerad is not a child, he has the right to choose his own life, so I hope that Grandfather will think about it.”
After saying that, he turned to Ruona and said, “Chunchu, let’s go back.”
Ruona knew that the old man was stubborn and probably wouldn’t be able to convince him for a while.
“Grandfather, we’re going back.” Ruona politely nodded lightly towards the already dark-faced old man, then walked with Ethan Lu towards the door.
After they left, Xu Wenjing, who had been quiet, spoke out, “Grandpa, don’t be angry, Brother Ethan and the others didn’t mean to say such things.”
Master Shen was cold and sullen, “It was either intentional or intentional, the intention was to make me angry.”
“Grandpa, you also know that Jerad has been closer to Brother since he was a child, so he must have gone to beg Brother to say something.” Shen Mo Yang analyzed.
“Hmph!” Old Master Shen snorted heavily, “That brat just knows that only Ethan can persuade me.”
Xu Wenjing was anxious when she heard this, “Grandpa, you mean you intend to listen to Brother Ethan and the others?”
Master Shen saw that she was panicking and couldn’t help but laugh, “Wenjing ah, don’t worry, grandpa isn’t old and confused, how could he listen to Ethan and the others?”
Xu Wenjing was secretly relieved and smiled without saying anything else.
“Grandpa, do you think Jerad will compromise this time?” Jerad Shen opened his mouth to ask.
“No compromise will have to be made, unless he really wants to see me angry at him.”
This time, Master Shen was imperative, he must let that brat Jerad marry Wen Jing.
“Grandfather is really quite stubborn.” Ruona sighed helplessly, turning her head to look at the scenery passing by outside the car window, a faint worry lingering between her eyebrows.
“If it were any other matter, there might still be room to turn things around, but this is Jerad and Wen Jing’s marriage, so I’m afraid it’s hard to convince him.” Ethan Lu was also somewhat helpless.
Ruona turned to look at him, “Then what now? Do you really want Murphy and Anya to be separated?”
Jerad and Anya have already registered to get married, and have children, and as far as the eye can see it’s a happy day, why can’t this bad heart be resolved smoothly and satisfactorily?
“Let’s try again.” It was the only thing Ethan Lu could say now.
Ruona sighed heavily, “If we try again, I’m afraid that Anya won’t be able to wait.”
Anya had already moved the idea of wanting to separate from Murphy, and might actually bring it up.
In that case, things would be even more complicated.
“Then you’ll need to persuade her, as long as they can be firm about not separating, I’m sure Grandpa can’t really break them up.” Ethan Lu just wanted to gamble that the grandfather he knew wouldn’t be stubborn enough to be really unkind, there would always be a day when his heart would soften.
“Alright.” Ruona sighed once again.
Chapter 404
As the saying goes, when the house is leaking, Anya’s matter has not yet been resolved, and there is also a situation on the handsome side.
The first thing that you need to know is how to get the best out of the situation, and how to get the best out of the situation.
When Ruona arrived at Ying’s house, Fabia Ying was comforting Auntie Ying who couldn’t cry herself.
“Mom, Dad he’s not that kind of person, I’m sure he’ll be home soon.”
Fabia Ying didn’t believe that her father would be desperate enough to do something detrimental now that the wind was so tight.
“Fabia if your father” Ying’s mother cried so hard that she couldn’t complete her words.
“Mom, don’t think too much about yourself, have faith in your father, he will be back soon.” Fabia Ying patted her mother’s back and hugged her into her arms.
Seeing Auntie Ying crying so sadly, Ruona felt bad, she walked over and softly called, “Auntie, Fabia.”
Fabia Ying and Auntie Ying sniffed and raised their heads to look at her at the same time.
“Chunchu.” Fabia smiled slightly at Ruona, and it could be seen that this smile was very forced.
Ying’s mother wiped her tears and also managed to squeeze out a smile, “Chunchu, you’re here.”
Looking at their forced smiles, Ruona’s heart was even harder to bear.
“Chic, Auntie, Uncle will definitely come back safely.” Ruona knew that such consolation seemed pale and weak, but she couldn’t say anything else at this point.
Fabia Ying stared at Ruona for a while, then turned to her mother and said softly, “Mom, I’ll talk to Ruona about something and come back to accompany you right away.”
Ying’s mother nodded, “Well, you guys go ahead.”
Ruona looked at Ying Qiaochun in confusion, only to see Qiaochun get up and pull her towards the backyard.
Only when the two of them reached the backyard did Fabia Ying let go of her hand and turned her back to Ruona.
“Fabia, do you have something to tell me?” Ruona was the first to ask.
“Beginnings” Fabia Ying turned around and looked at her as if she wanted to stop talking.
Ruona slightly absently, “Fabia, is there anything we can’t say between the two of us?”
Fabia Ying bit her lip, then took a deep breath and said with a flourish, “Chunchu, can you ask Lu to help my dad?”
So that was why it was so hard for her to talk about it.
Ruona smiled, then said, “Fabia, I actually asked Ethan to help investigate what was going on after I found out about Uncle Ying’s incident.”
Upon hearing that, Fabia Ying instantly became red-eyed, “Chunchu, thank you.”
Ruona shook her head, “There’s no need to be so polite between us. Uncle and Aunt Ying are so good to me, it’s only right that I do something for them.”
Fabia Ying looked at her with tears in her eyes, this was the friendship between the three of them, no matter who it was, the other two would always do their best to help.
“So,” Ruona held her hand and tightened it, giving her a wide smile, “Don’t worry, I believe that Uncle Ying will never do anything like that, and will give him a clean slate.”
Fabia Ying nodded her head, tears coming out of her eyes.
Seeing her cry, Ruona’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten, raising his hand to help her wipe away her tears, saying in a helpless tone, “Fool, you’re the strongest one among the three of us, why are you crying?”
“Beginnings” Fabia Ying threw herself into her arms and cried so hard that she couldn’t herself.
Because she was afraid that her already worried and sad mother would feel even worse, she had been holding back her difficult emotions. Now in front of the concern for the beginning, she vented it out to her heart’s content.
Ruona gently patted and stroked her back, not saying too much, just quietly accompAnyang her.
“The old man still made his move.”
Ethan Lu’s handsome face floated with a hint of gravity after hearing Leo’s report.
Fabia’s father was suddenly reported anonymously as being corrupt and taking bribes, and this matter was inherently bizarre.
Initially asking for his help in investigating the situation, he immediately asked Leo to investigate.
This investigation, things were really not simple as he had thought.
“President, what do we do now?” Leo also looked a bit heavy, he was aware of how complicated the Lu family’s situation was, he was also aware that this time the chairman would strike at his counterpart’s family, but just wanted to use young master Albert to hold the president in check.
Ethan Lu’s eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of harshness, “The old man’s hands are stretched out too far, does he think that Belfrek is like the capital and he can be left to call the shots?”
He smirked, his eyelids flicking up to look at Leo, “You run off and go meet unrestrained father.”
Leo nodded, “Okay, I’m on my way.”
Since someone had reported it, then there had to be evidence to establish the charge, so where was the evidence?
The disciplinary team moved faster than Ethan Lu, and after they took Ying’s father away, after some interrogation, Ying’s father’s story had always been that he hadn’t been corrupt and had taken bribes, and that they had arrested the wrong person.
So, they applied for a search warrant and conducted a full search of the due house.
This search turned up a lot of cash, all in bundles, in amounts of at least eight figures.
The cash was piled up on the coffee table in the living room, and when Fabia Ying and Ying’s mother saw the pile of cash, they were completely dumbfounded.
How could they have never thought that they would have such a large amount of cash at home?
Ruona looked at the pile of cash with a heavy face, did Uncle Ying really embezzle it? Did they trust the wrong person?
If this was really the proceeds of corruption from Uncle Ying using the convenience of his position, then Uncle Ying’s guilt would sit on the table and no one would be able to save him.
“This isn’t our family’s money.” Ying’s mother reacted, pointing at the disciplinary team and shouting, “Our family doesn’t even have that much money, you guys deliberately planted the evidence.”
“If it’s not your money, then whose money is it? It was searched out here.”
The person headed by the disciplinary team coldly skimmed Ying mother’s eyes, then said to the people below, “Take pictures, then have someone come over to count the quantity.”
Then, he said to Ying mother, “Secretary Ying can’t get away this time, you family better be prepared.”
Hearing this, Ying’s mother’s entire body was confused and her legs went limp, but fortunately Fabia Ying and Ruona were bright-eyed and quick to help her.
They helped Ying’s mother to sit down on the sofa, seeing her mother’s lost soul, Fabia Ying couldn’t care about the difficulty and panic, she tightly grasped her mother’s cold hand as she turned to the disciplinary team and said, “My father has been in power for so many years and has been doing his best, the entire Belfrek is witness to this, if he is really corrupt, I have nothing to say, but if not, please You guys give him a clean slate.”
Ying Xiaoxiang knew her father, who was an open and honest man, and could never do such a thing.
Chapter 405
When Ruona returned from Ying’s house, it was already after ten o’clock at night.
As soon as she walked into the house, she saw Ethan Lu who was sitting in the living room waiting for her.
Ethan Lu, who heard the commotion, turned around and looked over at her with a warm brow and eyes, “Why did you come back so late?”
“Don’t worry about Fabia.” Ruona slowly walked over to him and sat down, resting her head on his shoulder, slowly closing her eyes, her face looking a little tired.
The large living room was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the old wall clock, and Ethan Lu raised his hand to hold her shoulder, his palm gently rubbing it.
Only after a long time did she ask, “Ethan, how is the investigation going?”
Ethan Lu was silent and didn’t answer her right away.
After not hearing his answer for a long time, Ruona opened her eyes and stared sideways at his crisp jaw, her brows knitted, “Is there something wrong?”
Ethan Lu softly “hmm” sound, there is no further information.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at this. Is it possible that Uncle Ying isn’t corrupt?”
“Yes, Secretary Ying isn’t corrupt.” Ethan Lu nodded.
“I knew there wasn’t.” Ruona breathed a long sigh of relief, but she soon realized that something was wrong, “Then what happened to the money that was found in Fabia’s house?”
Ethan Lu chanted for a moment, then said, “That was someone deliberately trying to set him up.”
“Set him up?” Ruona was stunned and subconsciously asked, “Who is it?”
“Old man.”
Ruona’s pupils slowly dilated, an answer that seemed unexpected, yet expected.
“Why would he do that?” Ruona was a bit confused and didn’t respond to why Ethan’s father did this.
“Because of Saint Yao.”
“Saint Yao? Did he really do it to Saint Yao?” Because of the shock, her voice couldn’t help but rise a few degrees.
Last time in the Lu family, his father had warned them that he wanted to make a move against Saint Yao, but he never thought that he would actually do so.
Ruona was shocked, as a father, how could he actually do it to his own son?
“So what do we do now?” When Ruona thought about what had happened to Uncle Ying, it was ultimately because of her, and she felt sorry for them, she was the one who had gotten them all involved in Fabia.
“I’ll fix it.”
His words were concise but gave Ruona great peace of mind, since he said so, he would definitely solve it.
Ruona thought about it and then asked, “Does Saint Yao know about it? Do you know it was his father who tampered with it?”
“He doesn’t know yet.” Ethan Lu didn’t want his brother to know about this, it shouldn’t have been something he should have to bear, he simply didn’t tell him.
He told this idea to Ruona, who nodded approvingly, “That’s good, so he doesn’t have to worry too much, otherwise I’d feel even more indebted to him.”
“You don’t have to feel indebted to him, I’m the one who owes you guys.” Ethan Lu raised his hand to caress her cheek, gazing at her with a hint of guilt mixed in his eyes, “I shouldn’t have let you guys encounter this.”
Ruona smiled slightly, raising her hand to cover his hand, her cheek gently rubbing against his warm hand, softly saying, “To be able to be with you, no matter what happens, I’m syrupy.”
With his heart rippling, he could hardly hold himself in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said with a firm look in his eyes, “Beginnings, everything will pass.”
Ruona clung to his back, burying her face in his embrace, her ears ringing with the sound of his steady, strong heartbeat.
She slowly closed her eyes and her red l!ps lightly opened, “Well, it will all pass.”
Jerad’s attitude was still as firm as ever, which made Master Shen very headache and angry.
Thinking that when he was sick, that brat would at least compromise for him, but no, this made him both angry and miserable.
Now in that brat’s heart, that Anya Song was completely much more important than him.
Xu Wenjing saw that the old man had been sullen for several days and knew that it was because of third brother, so she took the initiative to look for Jerad.
When she saw Jerad and Anya Song walking out of the building of Golden Frame Company, her eyes sank a little.
Upon seeing her, Jerad and Anya Song paused at the same time.
She walked over, “Third brother, is it convenient to have a few words with me?”
Jerad turned her head to look at Anya Song and then rejected her, “It might not be convenient.”
Anya Song knew that Xu Wenjing came to see Jerad because of her grandfather, so she said to Jerad, “Jerad, you guys talk, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
After saying that, she nodded her head towards Anya Song and then took the lead in walking towards the parking lot.
“Then you be careful.” Jerad raised his voice and shouted.
Anya Song smiled back at him, “I know.”
After Anya Song left, Jerad put his hands in his pants pockets and looked at Xu Wenjing indifferently, “Say it, what’s the matter?”
His attitude hurt Xu Wenjing, but she still managed to squeeze out a shallow smile, “Grandpa hasn’t eaten properly for several days now.”
Jerad’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, then the corner of his l!ps curled up in a sneering smile, “The body is grandpa’s own, if he doesn’t care, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
His attitude was completely indifferent, not caring about grandpa’s condition, which made Xu Wenjing a little angry, “Third brother, that’s grandpa, not anyone else.”
“Heh!” Jerad sneered, “It’s grandpa who is right, but he went so far as to pretend to be sick to get his grandson to fulfill his damn promise, do you think I should be angry?”
“Third Brother, Grandpa he’s also doing it for your own good.” Xu Wenjing’s words were completely uninspired.
She hadn’t expected that Grandpa’s faking of illness would be revealed to him, which killed their plan before it could succeed and angered Third Brother at the same time.
“For my own good?” Jerad raised his eyebrows and there was ridicule between his eyebrows, “Don’t say it so nicely, this is obviously to satisfy your selfishness.”
Faced with his accusation, Xu Wenjing clenched her hands and remained silent for a long time before she said softly, “Third brother, I’m sorry.”
Jerad looked at her coldly and said in a cool tone, “Wen Jing, I don’t love you, if you still think of me as your third brother, it’s still troublesome for you and grandpa to make things clear, if it should be broken, it’s broken, otherwise it’s not good for you and me.”
“Heh, if it should be broken, then it should be broken” Xu Wenjing murmured, a bitter smile on her l!ps, looking at him with sad eyes, “Third brother, I’m not happy. I love you too, why don’t you give me a chance?”
“Wenjing, love isn’t something you can have given a chance. I love Anya, and I only recognize her in this life, so I’m sorry.”
Xu Wenjing gazed at his clear and timeless face, her vision gradually blurred, and in the light of tears, she seemed to see the young man who had smiled kindly at her back then.
“Sister Wenjing, welcome, I’m your third brother, Jerad.”
Time had passed, he was no longer the third brother who doted on her, and she was no longer the little girl who only secretly adored him.
A piece of true love, no response, heartache to the point of not being able to breathe.
The first time I saw him was when I was in the middle of the night.
