Chapter 421: Anger

The morning sun shone lazily through the window, shining on Bai Zhi's face, which seemed to be indifferent to everything.

But her slightly disordered breathing betrayed her.

"Just thank you verbally?" Lu Juefeng glanced at Bai Zhi, his bony fingers tapping carelessly on the dining table.

"What does Mr. Lu want me to do?" Bai Zhi raised her eyes.

"Anything?" Lu Juefeng asked back.

Bai Zhi straightened her back and stared at Lu Juefeng: "Of course, Mr. Lu, just ask."

She didn't want to owe him too many favors.

No matter how difficult and harsh the conditions were, she would go all out.

But, what else in the world did Lu Juefeng need others to help him with?

Bai Zhi was puzzled.

"Help me take a bath and sleep, and assist me with rehabilitation training." Lu Juefeng's eyes were full of playfulness, "Until my legs are completely healed."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Aren't these the jobs of a nurse?

Why does she need to do them?

Wait, help him take a bath and sleep, this is the point.

Bai Zhi felt like she was being tricked.

"Repent?" Lu Juefeng had already stood up and looked down at her.

"Of course not." Bai Zhi met Lu Juefeng's gaze, her eyes as frank as they could be.

Isn't it just being a nurse for a while, taking care of patients?

*

Lu's old house.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Xu Wanning was looking left and right in front of the mirror. This brocade lotus silk cheongsam was sent by the Jinling Weaving Bureau. Only a few pieces were made a year. In ancient times, it was a tribute.

Compared with other wealthy wives who were covered in famous brands, the difference was obvious.

After all, this is not something you can buy with money.

Looking at the elegant self in the mirror, Xu Wanning put on the pearl necklace.

Perfect, afternoon tea on the third day of the New Year, this is it.

Xu Wanning took off the necklace with satisfaction, sat in front of the dressing table, thinking about what to do tomorrow.

"Madam." The servant's timid voice sounded.

Xu Wanning turned her head and looked at the servant who was lowering his head and dared not speak at the door.

"Speak." Her voice was cold and her expression was a little impatient.

"The eldest... the eldest master just called and said... he would spend the New Year in Bishui Qingyuan this year and would not come back for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Pah!"

The pearl necklace fell to the ground, and the big and small beads were scattered all over the floor.

Xu Wanning was furious. Juefeng didn't come back for the New Year for that vixen?

Thinking of the weird faces of the other wives when they had afternoon tea two days ago, Xu Wanning was furious.

She would never allow this to happen.

If he really spent the New Year with that little bitch, then where would she put her face?

Playing with actors is a romantic story in the circle of the rich and powerful, but being played by actors is a big joke.

Xu Wanning came to the study angrily and saw Lu Zhenglin sitting at the desk reading a newspaper.

She snatched the newspaper from Lu Zhenglin's hand: "You still have the time to read the newspaper here! Juefeng was seduced by that shameless actor and refused to go home for the New Year."

Lu Zhenglin raised his head and looked at his wife calmly: "If he doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. In the past few years, didn't Jueyun often not come back for the New Year?"

"How can it be the same?" Xu Wanning was angry.

"Why is it different?" Lu Zhenglin took back the newspaper.

"Jueyun didn't come back for the New Year because he was studying abroad!" Xu Wanning said angrily, "But Juefeng didn't come back for the New Year because of a low-ranking actor. How will others see our Lu family? Besides, Juefeng is the heir of the Lu Group. How can he gain a foothold in the board of directors in the future if he is so absurd?"

"You think too much." Lu Zhenglin shook his head, "As Juefeng said, whether he can gain a foothold in the board of directors depends on his ability, not his personal affairs. The children are grown up and have their own ideas. Why don't you let them go?"

"Let them go?" Xu Wanning said angrily, "You mean you don't care if he marries an actor?"

"Who he wants to marry is his business." Lu Zhenglin was a little impatient with Xu Wanning's pestering, "I think you are just idle and make yourself unhappy."

After being said by Lu Zhenglin, Xu Wanning became even more angry and went downstairs to find Mr. Lu to seek justice.

Lu Zhenglin had no choice but to put down the newspaper and follow him down, fearing that Xu Wanning would get angry and bump into the old man.

In the small pavilion in the backyard, red plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Among the three friends of winter, Mr. Lu loves plum blossoms the most. The entire backyard is a small plum garden, planted with various precious plum blossoms, but this year, the red plum blossoms are extremely fresh.

Mr. Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered people to move the tea set over. He was drinking tea and admiring the flowers alone in the pavilion.

Seeing Xu Wanning coming in a hurry from a distance, the old man sighed, raised his hand, and asked the servants who were waiting beside him to leave.

"Dad, Juefeng is getting more and more unruly. He actually didn't go home for the New Year for that woman." Xu Wanning sat on a stone bench nearby and helped Mr. Lu pour tea.

The freshly brewed Emei Mountain Queshe Maojian was green in the dark red purple sand cup, like the best ice jade.

Mr. Lu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.

"The white-bearded cinnabar is blooming well this year, but the double-petaled green calyx is still not blooming. Ask Mr. Song to come and help me check if the gardener didn't cut the flowers properly."

"Dad!" Xu Wanning had no intention of appreciating the blooming red plums. "You have to call Juefeng back. He didn't even go home for the New Year for an actor. It would be so unpleasant if this got out."

"Bai Zhi is Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai's mother. Don't call her an actress anymore." Grandpa Lu put down his teacup.

"Yes." Xu Wanning agreed perfunctorily, "but Jue Feng must go home for the New Year."

She called Lu Jue Feng.

"Jue Feng, your grandpa has something to tell you."

Grandpa Lu shook his head and took the phone from Xu Wanning.

"Jue Feng." Grandpa Lu said gently, "I heard that you don't even plan to come back for the reunion dinner? How can this be possible? I have prepared gifts for Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai."

"Grandpa, you can give them the gifts when Xiao Ke and Xiao Ai come back for the New Year." Lu Jue Feng declined.

"Nonsense, you have to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner anyway. I know you don't want Xiaoke and Xiaoai to be separated from their mother." The old man paused, and his tone became gentler, "Bring Miss Bai back to celebrate the New Year together. She is Xiaoke and Xiaoai's biological mother, and also our relative. No matter what happens to you in the future, Grandpa will recognize her as a relative, okay?"

"Bai Zhi hasn't married me yet, and bringing her back for the New Year will affect her reputation." Lu Juefeng refused decisively.

Bai Zhi, who was studying with Xiaoke and Xiaoai about how to write couplets tomorrow, was slightly stunned when she heard Lu Juefeng's words.

"Xiaoke and Xiaoai, come and wish Grandpa a happy New Year." Lu Juefeng glanced at Bai Zhi and waved to Xiaoke and Xiaoai.

"Happy New Year, Grandpa! I wish you all the best and good health!" Xiaoke said to Grandpa Lu on the other end of the phone with a smile.
