finished talking" Yulin asked, putting away her phone.Fu Xiaoyao gave a strained smile and nodded.Yu Lin saw that her face was wrong, her brows furrowed slightly, "Did the doctor tell you something"Fu...Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples wearily, "Grandpa, what are you talking about When have I ever not listened to you"

The old man snorted, "If you truly listened to me, you shouldn't have gone to see that girl from the Qi family. Tell me, are you still not over her"

"That's not true!" Lu Hanchuan picked up the already cold coffee on the table and took a sip.

He still hadn't completely let go of Xia Ya in his heart.

But he knew, he and Xiaoya could no longer go back to the past.

Now he's good to her, only because he can't bear to watch her die.

“Since there isn’t, then why did you meet with that girl from the Qi family I heard, the girl from the Qi family is sick, and you took care of her in the hospital for several nights without going home. Is this true” The old man tapped his cane.

Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyes, "Yes!"

"Well, well!" The old man stood up trembling with rage, his face contorted in fury. "Lu Hanchuan, do you remember that you're a married man"

"I remember." Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips.

"Remember when you were with another woman"

"Grandpa, Xiaoya is sick. I just went to take care of her, what do you mean 'stir things up'" Lu Hanchuan rubbed his forehead.

Whether past or present.

He and Xiaoya never had anything happen between them.

“This isn't called mixing things up at all.” The old man slapped the table in front of Lu Hanchuan, making a loud cracking sound. “Lu Hanchuan, I’m old but not senile, and you haven’t even aged yet, how come you’re so muddle-headed The Qi family isn’t short on money, can’t they afford a nurse When did it become your turn, a married man, to take care of her”

"This is different, Xiaoya needs me." Lu Hanchuan said in a deep voice.

"Nonsense! She needs you You're not a doctor, can you cure her" The old man's face was dark, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt. "I see her, she clearly has other motives!"

"Grandpa!" Lu Hanchuan looked at the old man unhappily, "Don't think so badly of Xiaoya, okay"

"Am I thinking too badly of her" The old man glared, his eyes blazing. "That's because her heart was black from the start. Don't you remember what she did back then"

Lu Hanchuan's thin lips moved, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "The things that happened back then... I don't blame her."

"You can't blame him for that, Lu Hanchuan is truly generous-hearted." The old man heard his words and almost fainted, "Do you know, it's all because of her, you almost lost your life!"

"That was an accident." Lu Hanchuan got up, walked around the desk to behind the old man, and gently patted the old man's back to help him breathe.

"What an unexpected turn of events," the old man chuckled bitterly, shaking off his grasp. "How could someone like you, a lovesick fool, emerge from our Lu family Enough, enough with your pathetic tale. I'm not interested in hearing it anymore. I just want to know, are you planning on rekindling your old flame with that lass from the Qi family"

"No." Lu Hanchuan personally poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"Really" the old man squinted his eyes in disbelief.

Lu Hanchuan placed the water before the old man, "It's true, I didn't think about continuing anything with Xiaoya."

The old man was still somewhat skeptical, staring intently at him.

After a while, the old man retracted his gaze and his expression softened considerably. "Alright, I'll trust you for now. Just remember, you're a married man. Our Lu family doesn't condone such frivolous affairs. As for that girl from the Qi family, try to see her less and don't make Xiao Yao uncomfortable."

"I know, once Xiaoya is better, I will stay away from her." Lu Hanchuan replied faintly.

The old man nodded in satisfaction, “That’s right, from now on, you should get along well with Xiaoyao. I know you don't like her, but she is the most suitable person for you because she can tolerate everything about you. It would be best if the two of you had a child as soon as possible.”

"As for the children, Xiaoyao and I already have a plan."

The old man paused his tea drinking, his eyes brightening. "You've really planned this out"

"Hmm."

"Wonderful, then grandpa will be waiting for your good news." The old man was in high spirits and chuckled happily.

Lu Hanchuan raised his wrist to look at his watch. "It's almost noon, Grandpa, why don't you go back first."

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer, Lao Fu. Let's go." The old man extended his hand to the old butler beside him.

The old butler hurried forward to support him, "Master, slow down."

After the old man left, Lu Hanchuan let out a sigh of relief, but his face soon changed, turning cold and grim.

"Fu Xiaoyao!" He picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Fu Xiaoyao's number.

Fu Xiaoyao had just gotten out of the taxi when she saw he was calling her, which surprised her.

"Mr. Lu, is there something the matter"

"Was it you who told Grandpa about Xiaoya's affair" Lu Hanzhan questioned sharply.

"I don't have any." Fu Xiaoyao replied.

Lu Hanzhan smiled coldly, "How did you know I don't have a grandfather"

"It was Aunt Song who told Grandpa," Fu Xiaoyao walked to a less crowded place and explained, "Last night Aunt Song asked about you, I said you were at the hospital with Miss Qi Ya, then Aunt Song told Grandpa."

"Who asked you to butt in" Lu Hanchuan's temples twitched, his eyes sharp. "What's the difference between this and telling grandpa"

Fu Xiaoyao was choked and speechless.

After a long pause, she bit her lip and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect Aunt Song to tell grandpa..."

"That's enough," Lu Hanchuan suppressed the anger in his heart, taking a deep breath irritably. "I ask you, what else did you tell Aunt Song Did you mention the bone marrow"

"No, I didn't say that." Fu Xiaoyao quickly shook her head.

She wasn't foolish, she knew what to say and what not to say.

Hearing Fu Xiaoyao's answer, Lu Hanchuan's face looked much better, and his attitude softened a bit, no longer so cold.

"It's fine, where are you now"

Fu Xiaoyao looked up at the high-rise buildings across the street, "I'm already downstairs at Tangshi Building."

"Good, come back early." Lu Hanchuan hung up the phone.

"He hung up so quickly, couldn't he say a few more words" Fu Xiaoyao mumbled dejectedly, put away her phone and walked towards the opposite side.

"Hello, I'm the secretary to the president of Lu Group. I came here especially to deliver some documents. May I ask if your president is available now" Fu Xiaoyao tapped lightly on the front desk and asked in a soft voice.

The front desk clerk looked up from behind the counter, "Do you have an appointment, miss"

"Yes."

"Please wait a moment, I'll check that for you." The receptionist bowed her head and went back to work.

Two minutes later, the receptionist stood up and smiled politely at Fu Xiaoyao, “Hello, Miss. Our CEO is currently in a meeting. I’ll take you to the reception room to rest for a while. Our CEO will be with you shortly.”

"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded and followed the receptionist to the reception room.

"Please have a seat, Miss," the front desk attendant gestured to the row of sofas in front of them.

Fu Xiaoyao said thank you and smoothed her skirt before sitting down.

The front desk attendant poured her a glass of water, brought over some snacks, and told her to take her time before leaving her alone inside.

Fu Xiaoyao was coming to such a big company for the first time, and as a secretary. Thinking that she would be meeting with a group chairman of the same status as Lu Hanchuan soon, her heart was somewhat nervous and uneasy.

"I hope Mr. Tang isn't a strict person," Fu Xiaoyao muttered to herself, taking out her phone to play games while waiting for Mr. Tang to finish the meeting.

I don't know how long it took, she just finished the game, and she heard footsteps faintly coming from outside the door.

Fu Xiaoyao quickly put away her phone, stood up and looked toward the entrance of the reception room.

The door opened, and a tall and straight figure walked in. With familiar peach blossom eyes and tear moles, Fu Xiaoyao stared at the man in surprise and exclaimed, "Is it you"y cut off the phone.He switched off his phone and tossed it aside, looking at Fu Xiaoyao, "Are you feeling better now She came to me, but I didn't agree to release Qi Dongming."Fu Xiaoyao was delighte...
