Capítulo 13: 010: Lovely Grandma Lu, Big Boss mocked_1
Lu Ye wasn't joking at all.
In this life,
only money is the most real existence.
Everything else is fleeting.
He would never cry over a woman!
Just as Grandma Lu was about to argue with Lu Ye's words, she was hugged by her eldest granddaughter, "Grandma, do you think what Lu Da is saying makes any sense? I'm so heartbroken, and he doesn't even comfort me, but instead he makes these insensitive remarks!"
Although Lu Lingli was crying her eyes out, Grandma Lu remained very calm, "Even though Sansan's words are not right, you don't need to cry so exaggeratedly."
Lu Lingli said in between sobs, "Grandma, I'm really heartbroken. I feel like I'll never fall in love with someone else again...woo woo woo...."
Grandma Lu: "You said the same thing the last time you broke up."
Lu Lingli: "..."
Grandma Lu continued to twist the knife: "But the next day you fell in love with that Qi Li Xiang."
Because one of Lu Lingli's previous ex-boyfriends had smelly feet, Grandma Lu had given her this nickname.
"What Qi Li Xiang, his name is Song Yaowei!" Lu Lingli cried and said, "Grandma, I'm already so upset, why do you keep rubbing salt on my wounds? I just want to have a proper relationship, so why do I always meet jerks?"
"Jerks? Is he even worthy?" Grandma Lu tapped her cane, "I ask you, does that guy have a height of 1.9 meters?"
"No," Lu Lingli shook her head.
Grandma Lu then asked, "Does he have six-pack abs? Is he as handsome as Tony Leung? Is he a billionaire?"
Three successive questions from Grandma Lu.
Lu Lingli shook her head each time.
Grandma Lu scoffed, "He doesn't have any of that and you call him a jerk? Listen up, that's called a short, poor, and sleazy scumbag! Jerks are those who are not only tall and handsome but also rich!"
Saying this, Grandma Lu looked over at Lu Ye, "Someone like my eldest grandson here is fit to be called a jerk!"
An innocent Lu Ye who got shot while lying down: "..."
First of all, I haven't offended any of you.
Grandma Lu turned to Lu Lingli, "How come you only grow older but not wiser? Such a waste of your pretty face! You're such a worry, I can't eat or sleep every day worrying about you getting deceived by scumbags! How could there be such a good grandmother like me in this world? I'm not bragging, but you Lu Family are blessed with good fortune because your grandfather was able to marry me! Look at me, I've lost several pounds recently because I haven't been able to eat anything!"
In the end, Grandma Lu sighed.
Loss of appetite?
Lu Lingli's eyes fell on Grandma Lu's pocket, "Grandma, at least tuck your pocket in before you say that."
Oh no!
She hadn't hidden her shaqima well.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu quickly covered her pocket and stuffed the exposed shaqima back in, while also concocting a perfect excuse, "This, this is for Wanbao to eat."
Wanbao is the daughter of Lu Lingli's cousin, who is just ten months old this year. Her cousin and her husband had things to do far away and couldn't take the child with them, so they sent her to the Lu Family to stay for a few days.
As soon as she finished speaking, a packet of spicy strips fell out of the other pocket of Grandma Lu.
Lu Lingli chuckled, "It seems that Wanbao shares your taste, both favoring strong flavors."
Grandma Lu: "..."
She couldn't stay in this house for another moment.
In an attempt to hide her embarrassment, Grandma Lu coughed lightly, directing the topic to Lu Ye, "And you, you're another one who can't give me peace of mind!"
A baffled Lu Ye asked, "What did I do?"
Grandma Lu said, "You're already feigning 26, nearing 27, almost 28, approaching 29, heading towards 30, and running towards 40! And yet you still don't have a girlfriend!"
Lu Ye: "..."
He was only 26, but Grandma Lu spoke as if he was about to drop dead on the spot.
As soon as Grandma Lu started talking about Lu Ye, Lu Lingli stopped crying and immediately became spirited, "Grandma, didn't he just say? Anyone who believes in love is a fool, and whoever makes him cry, he will make them die!"
Grandma Lu looked at Lu Ye, "Young man, don't speak too confidently!"
Just wait.
He'll suffer sooner or later.
However, Lu Ye was full of confidence, "You think I'm like Lu Lingli? A girlfriend, for me, is not a necessity of life. I can take it or leave it!"
Seeing Lu Ye like this, Lu Lingli rolled her eyes in frustration.
Look at his smugness!
Grandma Lu stood with hands on her hips, just watching Lu Ye, "Back in the day, your grandfather was also blindly confident like you!"
"What happened then?" Lu Lingli immediately asked.
Grandma Lu, with a face full of pride, said, "After that, he wrote me more than a dozen love letters a day, chasing after me. After he got me, every time we fought, he would cry his eyes out, and then come to me to admit his mistakes!"
Lu Lingli's face was full of admiration. "Grandma, you were so amazing!"
"Isn't that obvious?" Grandma Lu looked at Lu Ye. "This kid will definitely turn out just like his grandpa, a real hard-headed duck."
"I'm not like Grandpa."
Ever since he could remember, Old Master Lu had been henpecked, and even now, if Grandma Lu told him not to go west, he dared not go west.
He didn't have the henpecked trait of Old Master Lu.
A real man.
How could he succumb to the will of a woman?
Pathetic!
Grandma Lu snorted coldly and turned to Lu Lingli, "Your grandpa was even more stubborn than he is before he started chasing me!"
Lu Lingli stroked her chin. "Then I'll just wait for Lu Da to take a tumble!"
Lu Ye stood up calmly, "Then you won't see it in your lifetime."
As he spoke, Lu Ye continued, "Grandma, I'm going out now."
Grandma Lu immediately stood up as well, "Sansan, wait a moment."
"What else do you need, Grandma?" Lu Ye asked.
Grandma Lu continued, "I've arranged with Aunt Yang for you to meet Miss Ou at Zhiyu Cafe near the Mingzhu Building."
Lu Ye frowned slightly, "I'm not going."
"I've already arranged it, and if you don't go, they'll say the Lu Family has no manners! Regardless of the outcome, you should go and meet her so that no one can gossip about us!" Grandma Lu was confident that Ou Tinglan would be the one to make Lu Ye cry.
Reluctantly, Lu Ye could only first head to the cafe for the appointment.
--
Half an hour later, Lu Ye rode his bike to the entrance of Zhiyu Cafe.
He parked the bicycle at the entrance.
Ou Tinglan, who was sitting by the window, just happened to see this scene.
A look of disgust was clearly visible in her eyes.
Ou Tinglan's pretty brows furrowed slightly; all of her exes were children of the powerful and wealthy.
The very least of the men who pursued her started in the tens of millions in terms of wealth.
What was Lu Ye?
Their statuses were simply not on the same level.
Lu Ye wouldn't even qualify to be a bodyguard in her family.
In no time at all, Lu Ye entered the cafe.
"Miss Ou, sorry to keep you waiting," he said.
Ou Tinglan just watched Lu Ye, the mocking look in her eyes almost spilling out.
She was simply passing by and came to the cafe for a coffee with nothing better to do. Lu Ye couldn't possibly be so vain as to think she liked him, and that's why she arrived early, could he?
Although the two had a marriage arrangement when they were children, it was based on the premise that Lu Ye was a descendant of the Su Family. Now, Lu Ye was nothing more than an illegitimate child of unknown origin.
The marriage arrangement, naturally, was null and void!
She really couldn't understand where Grandma Lu got the courage to arrange a blind date with her and Lu Ye.
Ou Tinglan initially didn't want to meet, but her father said that the Ou Family had some connection with the Lu Family, and not showing up would put the middleman, Mrs. Yang, in an awkward position.
So she had to come in person, to make everything clear once and for all.
To prevent certain people from entertaining false hopes.
"Please sit," Ou Tinglan said.
Lu Ye leaned forward and sat down opposite Ou Tinglan.
Ou Tinglan elegantly took a sip of her coffee, "Mr. Lu, the men I like either wear a military uniform and protect the country, earning great military merits, or wear a suit and masterfully navigate the corporate battlefield, owning billions in assets! Obviously, your current situation doesn't meet my standards for choosing a partner."
Did Lu Ye even stand a chance with her?
It was simply wishful thinking!
As she spoke, Ou Tinglan placed the cup down and smiled, "Mr. Lu, it's important to know your own worth, not every toad can eat swan meat! Don't you agree?"
