Chapter 407: He wouldn't lie to me.
Grandpa Lu didn't say anything more and picked up his chopsticks to eat dumplings.
He looked at Bai Zhi with kind eyes and urged, "Xiao Zhi, eat more. Look how thin you are. Young people are busy with work, so you must keep up with your nutrition."
Then, he served another bowl of water, saying, "Shanshan, eat too."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
As he ate his dumplings, Grandpa Lu let out another heavy sigh.
He sighed, and the others slowed down their eating and looked at him cautiously.
"I wonder how Ono is doing lately. I haven't even heard from him on the phone."
Grandpa Lu looked at Bai Zhi and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Zhi, has he called you these past two days?"
Bai Zhi replied, "Grandpa, I had it done the day before yesterday."
But after he hung up the phone in a hurry that day, he could no longer be contacted.
She called their unit, and the comrade there said that Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was not available to answer the phone.
She can't keep hitting like that.
But she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
To avoid making everyone worry.
When Grandpa Lu heard from Bai Zhi that they had just been in contact the day before yesterday, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun's moods also visibly improved.
It's good that my son is alright.
Ever since Lu Ye returned to his unit, their hearts have been hanging in suspense.
They were relieved to know that he had called Bai Zhi.
Everyone's appetite for dumplings improved a bit.
Start eating with peace of mind.
After finishing his meal, Grandpa Lu was about to go back to his room to rest when Wang Shufen stopped him.
"Dad, don't rest yet. There's something I want to talk to everyone about."
Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, Old Master Lu, who was about to get up, sat down again.
He casually asked Wang Shufen, "What's up?"
Wang Shufen glanced at everyone at the table, finding it difficult to speak.
It would be too undignified for her to tell her good-for-nothing daughter all those shady things in front of her eldest son and his wife.
Seeing how outstanding other people's daughters are, and then thinking about Lu Ya, makes her even more upset.
But she called Lu Shaoan in the afternoon, and Lu Shaoan said that he and Lu Hai couldn't come back for the time being, and asked her to tell her father and older brother about it.
Let's ask everyone to help educate Lu Ya and make her realize her mistake.
We can't let her continue down this path.
If all else fails, let his older brother and father come up with another way to deal with that thug outside.
If we don't intervene in time, and she really elopes with that scumbag, her life will be ruined.
Wang Shufen took a deep breath, thinking that her daughter's future was more important than saving face.
She looked at everyone and spoke with difficulty, "It's about Lu Ya."
“She’s dating someone,” Wang Shufen said through gritted teeth.
"What kind of deal did you make? What does the other person do? Is he reliable?" Old Master Lu asked in his usual indifferent tone after hearing her words.
Wang Shufen looked disappointed and sighed, "Dad, he's unreliable, completely unreliable. He's just a scoundrel who cheats people out of their money and feelings."
She looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Xiao Zhi has met me before."
"Xiaozhi, tell your grandfather and your parents about Li Wei."
Bai Zhi had just finished the last dumpling in her bowl when she gave an awkward laugh. "Second Aunt, you should explain it to me. I'm not good with words, I can't explain it clearly."
Bai Zhi didn't respond, so Wang Shufen smiled awkwardly and had no choice but to tell Grandpa Lu and the others about how Lu Ya had been cheated while dating someone outside.
Upon hearing this, Master Lu flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table, yelling, "You worthless bastard!"
Lu Zheng'an also frowned.
Xie Yun and Lu Shan were even more shocked.
No one expected that Lu Ya would date such an unreliable person.
Wang Shufen looked at Grandpa Lu and Lu Zheng'an, pleadingly saying, "Dad, eldest brother, sister-in-law, Shao'an can't come back for the time being. You have to get involved in this matter. That brat has been bewitched. It's not a solution for me to just keep her locked up at home all the time. If she sneaks out and elopes with that scoundrel, we'll be doomed."
Wang Shufen originally wanted to keep Lu Ya's job.
But given the current situation, even if she loses her job, she can't be allowed to go out and work.
Old Master Lu's face was ashen, his beard trembled, and he was too angry to speak.
Lu Zheng'an frowned and asked, "Now that you took Lu Ya out today and she's seen that thug's true colors, why is Lu Ya still not giving up?"
Even at this level of unparalleled skill, how could she still be so infatuated?
Wang Shufen felt helpless and powerless. "She couldn't wrap her head around it. She believed Li Wei's few flawed explanations unconditionally."
"How foolish."
"Brother, you have to think of something! You have to save your niece!"
Wang Shufen's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her. "What I mean is, why don't we use our family's influence to drive that Li Wei out of Nancheng? As long as he doesn't appear in front of Lu Ya, that girl will naturally give up."
The old man, his beard trembling with anger, shot him a sharp glare. "What power do we have?"
"Don't always think of crooked ways."
He commanded in a deep voice, "Call Lu Ya down."
Lu Zheng'an gave Lu Shan a look, signaling, "Shanshan, go and call them."
"good."
Lu Shan went upstairs, and a little while later, Lu Ya followed her downstairs.
Lu Ya was disheveled and her face was red and swollen from crying during the day.
Everyone was sitting in the living room when she came downstairs and sensed that something was wrong.
The chilling pressure emanating from her grandfather made her involuntarily shrink back.
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Ya with a stern expression and a disappointed look on his face.
He wanted to teach her a lesson, but he was too weak to speak.
In this situation, we can't hit her or scold her, for fear of pushing this brat too far and making things worse.
As elders, they not only had to solve the problem, but also had to consider the reputation of the Lu family.
If it causes a huge commotion and the neighbors hear it, I'll be too ashamed to go out.
In the military compound, his old buddies spent their days comparing their grandchildren's studies and careers...
Lu Ya's foolish love-struck mind is truly unique in the military compound.
Furthermore, no matter how foolish Lu Ya may be, she is still a young woman. Even if she doesn't respect herself, her parents still have to consider her reputation, otherwise it will be difficult for her to find a partner in the future.
Grandpa Lu finally took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "We know about your affairs."
"What are you thinking now? Do you still want to be deceived by that liar?" His sharp eyes stared at Lu Ya, his voice not loud, but authoritative enough.
"Grandpa, he's not...."
Lu Ya instinctively wanted to defend Li Wei, but when she met her grandfather's murderous gaze, she immediately shut her mouth.
“Xiaoya, we’ve watched you grow up since you were little. You’ve always been smart and lovely. I believe you wouldn’t be so foolish as to misjudge people.” Xie Yun, a high school teacher, stood up and pulled Lu Ya to sit down, looking at her and trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. “Tell us, what are you really thinking?”
Lu Ya lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I just felt that he would never lie to me, since he used to be so good to me."
