Chapter 42 - Matchmaking

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Old Madam Lu came for a checkup today. She wanted to see He Youran while she was at it, so she asked Lu Qinglan to find out which department He Youran was in. When she heard that someone was looking for trouble with He Youran, she quickly asked Lu Qingzhuo to save the situation.

When He Youran heard old madam Lu’s question, how could she not understand?

No wonder Lu Qingzhuo was able to appear in time. She thought that there was some kind of magical connection between the two of them. Every time she was in trouble, Lu Qingzhuo would appear in time!

“It’s nothing. I’m sorry for making you worry,” He Youran comforted.

“It’s good that you’re okay. It’s good that you’re okay.” Old Madam Lu nodded repeatedly. She was finally relieved.

“Grandma, what did the doctor say about your body?” Lu Qingzhuo asked.

“What else could he say? I’m old. I just need to take care of myself,” old madam Lu replied with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes and looked at He Youran.

“By the way, Ran Ran is good at traditional Chinese medicine, so she should also have some knowledge on medicinal cuisine. Can I trouble you to prescribe me some dietary supplements? Sigh, it’s not that I don’t want to admit to my age, but the Lu family has such a big family business, and they still need me!”

“Okay.” He Youran had originally intended to help old madam Lu take care of her body, so she naturally agreed.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

With her goal achieved, old madam Lu smiled in satisfaction.

This was what she had planned. Since she intended for Lu Qingzhuo to take He Shouxin as his foster son, she naturally had to build a good relationship with He Youran. It was best if they could establish a long-term relationship. That way, even if her grandson was useless and couldn’t keep He Youran’s heart, she, as an old woman, could still step up to the game.

She had to be prepared for all eventualities, just in case!

“I’m old and don’t have the energy. Ran-Ran, let Qingzhuo send you back. You can have dinner together.” Old Madam Lu held He Youran’s hand and patted it lovingly.

“Grandma Lu, aren’t you coming with us? I know a restaurant that has delicious food,” He Youran said.

“No, I’m a little tired. Besides, you young people are together. Why would an old woman like me get involved? If you feel sorry for me, bring Shouxin to visit me more often. We still have to stay in Rong city for a while.”

“Okay.”

“Go. Have a good meal and have fun.”

Old Madam Lu waved her hand to chase them away and told Lu Qingzhuo at the same time.

“I’ll leave my grandson Qingzhuo to you. It doesn’t matter if he comes back late.”

It was best if he didn’t come back.

It would be even better if something happened between the two of them.

Old Madam Lu thought to herself.

Just like that, He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo were chased out by old madam Lu without any hesitation.

* Bang! * 

“Grandma, aren’t you rushing things a little bit?”

After He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo left, Lu Qinglan came in with a box full of congee.

She looked at He Youran and Lu Qingzhuo’s backs and asked old madam Lu worriedly.

“I can’t help it, I’m old! No matter how strong my body is, how many years can I last?” Old Madam Lu sighed, “The He family of imperial capital is eyeing our Lu family covetously. I can’t let my guard down. I can only take care of everything as soon as possible in my limited time. Otherwise, I really won’t have the face to see your grandfather and parents.”

“Grandma, don’t say that. Your body is great. The Lu family needs you.” Lu Qinglan hurriedly comforted her.

Although she was also a member of the Lu family, she had no talent in business. She couldn’t learn those things that her big brother could learn at a glance. Instead, she was quite talented in art.

Because of this, old madam Lu sighed a lot.

But what could she do? If she could not learn it, she could not learn it!
