Chapter 199

Ji Qingqing was slightly stunned.

“I’ve been living with Lu Lixing for thirty years. Since becoming sensible, his life has always revolved around studying and after growing up, it became work. But after you came into his life, he started to rest at home during weekends and holidays. He even started taking vacations.” After Old Lu said that, he sighed and continued, “I often regret my decision of instilling him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Lu Corporation since young. And as a result for all these 30 years, he didn’t have much time for himself, let alone a day to relax. Compared to Lu Corporation, I very much wish for him to put down Lu Corporation for some time and live his own life.”

“Grandpa knows that you don’t have feelings towards Lu Lixing and holding a marriage would be akin to publicizing your relationship. But I sincerely hope that you will get along with Lu Lixing and give him a chance. If you are still undecided, then Grandpa will give you time to consider this carefully.”

“Grandpa, I...”

“You don’t have to give an answer now,” Old Lu interrupted her. “Qingqing, this concerns your whole life. Think seriously and carefully. Don’t make a hasty decision.”

The joy in Ji Qingqing’s eyes grew. “You misunderstood what I meant. What I intended to say was, for this matter you can make the decision for me.”

Her words could be counted as a direct answer to Old Lu’s question and they showed her willingness to hold the wedding which would publicize their relationship.

Old Lu looked at her in surprise as the corners of his mouth smiled wider. “You agree to hold this wedding with Lu Lixing?”

Ji Qingqing nodded.

“Since you agreed, how can I be the only one to make the decision? This is an important event for the two of you! I will help you two pick a date. But as for the other matters, both of you would still have to go over them yourselves. Firstly, we’ll need to meet your parents.”

Just then, her phone started to vibrate continuously. Ji Qingqing looked at her phone and saw that the contact set as “Little Brother” sent her a chain of voice messages.

Having listened to Old Lu’s advice regarding the original host’s family, Ji Qingqing currently didn’t have anything that was worrying her. She tapped on the voice messages to listen.

“Sis!!!”

A tragic wail burst from her phone speakers. Its loud volume not only made her jump in shock but also scared away the fish on Old Lu’s fishing hook.

Ji Qingqing smiled apologetically at Old Lu as she felt regretful for the fish that nearly got caught in his hook but then escaped. He waved his hand. “Go go. Today Grandpa will catch a fish for you to eat.”

Ji Qingqing smiled and left the lake. She went to her bedroom and started listening to the WeChat voice messages.

“Sis! Save me! Quickly come and save me! I’ll be screwed if you don’t save me.”

Ji Qingqing’s eyebrows knitted and she tapped the voice messages on the chat.

All of them were those few words, ‘Help me.’
