Chapter 624: Grandpa
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhen looked up and saw an old man sitting on an old mahogany round chair. This should be her grandfather, Jiang Ce. As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Ce l s temperament was very different from others.
Lu Zhen had filmed some period dramas before. Some actors who played emperors or overlords had to perform with a natural sense of nobility and dignity to create an oppressive aura. She had sensed such a temperament from her grandfather. Moreover, this temperament was not an act. It was as if it was engraved in the old man’s bones.
The moment Lu Zhen and her grandfather looked at each other, she felt as if her soul had been pierced. A sense of reverence and fear surged from the depths of her heart. The old man casually glanced at Lu Zhen, his expression unchanged. He only looked at the chair beside him. “Sit.”
Jiang Fei pulled Lu Zhen and sat down with her. The others left tacitly.
“Dad, this is Ningning. Ningning, call Grandpa.” Jiang Fei took the initiative to close the relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter.
Lu Zhen had already calmed down. Although Jiang Ce l s aura was very strong, she was not inexperienced. Moreover, the person in front of her was her grandfather. Why was she afraid of her grandfather?
“Hello, Grandpa,” Lu Zhen said obediently.
Jiang Ce nodded. There was almost no change in his wrinkled face. “Are you busy with work? Why are you only back now?” The old man said calmly.
Lu Zhen was a little nervous as her mind raced. What did that mean? Was he blaming her for coming back too late?
Jiang Fei immediately explained, “Ningning does have a lot of work to do. This child is also very responsible. Although she has always wanted to come back early to see you, she can’t delay her work, right?”
The old man glanced at Jiang Fei coldly. “Then she’s a little better than you. She can still come back during the new year. You haven’t been home for four years.”
Jiang Fei was inexplicably rebuked and was speechless for a moment.
Lu Zhen hurriedly squeezed out a smile and changed the topic. “Grandpa, I brought you some gifts.” She took out a bag. Inside was the gift she had bought for the old man. It was an exquisite set of Four Treasures of the Study and a box of incense.
The old man glanced at the gift Lu Zhen had prepared. “Put it there.”
Lu Zhen put down the bag and the old man looked at Jiang Fei. “You can leave.’
Jiang Fei looked at Lu Zhen worriedly. The old man smiled mockingly. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll beat her up?”
Jiang Fei smiled awkwardly. “How could that be? You haven’t taken out your ruler for many years.”
“Are you still holding a grudge against me for whipping you until you can’t get out of bed for half a month?” The old man snorted.
“How is that possible! Then you two chat first. I’ll call Big Brother.” Jiang Fei smiled helplessly and quickly left.
After Jiang Fei left, only Lu Zhen and the old man were left in the room. Lu Zhen was a little uncomfortable for a moment and hesitated to find a new topic. Just as she was about to speak, the old man suddenly said, “Are you in a relationship?”
Lu Zhen was stunned and a little surprised. How did her grandpa know this? Her uncle and father probably wouldn’t tell her grandfather about this. After all, she and Song Jia had just confirmed their relationship. It wasn’t to the point where she had to tell her grandfather.
Lu Zhen’s eyes flickered as she thought of something. She revealed a faint smile. “Did Aunt Hong tell you?”
The old man nodded. “She said you ran out to see the boy in the middle of the
The old man’s tone had a faint sense of disapproval. As the head of the Jiang family, who was traditional and particular about rules, Jiang Ce definitely felt that it was inappropriate for Lu Zhen to run out to see a man in the middle of the night.
The heater in the house was very strong, but Lu Zhen felt a chill run down her spine, just like when she went out that night and felt He Hongs gaze on her.
Lu Zhen gritted her teeth, but a gentle smile appeared on her face. “l just returned to the country that day. I didn’t want to go out, but a friend of mine was celebrating his birthday. Coincidentally, this friend of mine also knows my brother, so I bought a small cake and sent it over. My brother was also there.’
The old man nodded. “She said you ran out to see the boy in the middle of the night.”
Hong misunderstood, but she was also worried about you. She was afraid that you would be easily deceived by a man because you were young and had never been in a relationship. Don’t blame your Aunt Hong for worrying.”
“How could that be? I understand.” Lu Zhen’s smile was flawless, but the smile in her deep eyes was very faint.
Seeing that her grandfather did not continue to ask, Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. Her explanation should reassure her grandfather..
