Chapter 81: His Entanglement
Hearing this news, Ling Zhaoting breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even then, you have to pay more attention, after all, grandpa is old, and you can't usually be left without someone to take care of you, you are the old man in the family, please bother more. β
"Yes. Steward Li bowed respectfully and withdrew.
The two walked forward hand in hand, admiring the beautiful environment, and Lu Youyou unconsciously felt relaxed.
But thinking of the scene just now, she struggled for a long time, and still asked, "Ling Zhaoting, ...... you?"
Ling Zhaoting seemed to know what she was going to ask, and opened her mouth in a deep voice: "It's all old things, don't mention it." β
"But after all, he is your father, and it has been so long, after all, how can there be any enmity between father and son?" Lu Youyou patiently persuaded that no matter how many misunderstandings there were, he would definitely be able to release his suspicions.
However, Ling Zhaoting didn't seem to want to listen to her opinion, so he didn't speak, and just continued to walk around the garden with her.
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, Lu Youyou really regretted that she opened her mouth without knowing what had happened, now the atmosphere was very awkward, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only follow Ling Zhaoting's side and walk quietly, even those beautiful scenery didn't seem to be as beautiful as just now.
"You don't have to worry about these things, I have my own measure. β
"But you didn't even say hello to him just now, did you?"
Ling Zhaoting didn't speak, his expression was very indifferent, as if it was not his father, but a person who was even worse than a stranger.
What is it that can make a father and son like this?
Lu Youyou wanted to know very much, but she was afraid that she would hurt her relationship with Ling Zhaoting for a while, so she could only ask cautiously and tentatively.
Ling Zhaoting looked up into the distance.
There are indescribable emotions in his deep eyes, which make people want to explore but don't know where to start.
With that kind of expression, it was the first time Lu Youyou had seen it on Ling Zhaoting's face.
No matter how Ling Zhaoting did before, he would not be so entangled, so painful, and so depressed.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but hug Ling Zhaoting and said, "No matter what happens, let me share it with you, okay?"
Seeing Lu Youyou's expression, Ling Zhaoting hugged her back and hugged her tightly in his arms.
His dark eyes flickered a few times, and finally sighed: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I have time in the future." β
Seeing that he finally didn't resist as much as he did just now, Lu Youyou felt a little relieved.
Since Ling Zhaoting had promised to tell her, she would know sooner or later, and she was not in a hurry for a while.
Lu Youyou paused and asked, "When are we going to see grandpa?"
"Have dinner. β
"I heard Steward Li say just now that grandpa has been in poor health, right?"
"I'm old, I'm old again, it's no big deal, don't worry. β
Although she said that, the woman was still a little worried.
She is a medical student, so she naturally knows what kinds of diseases the elderly often get, but although they are all very common diseases, they should not be taken lightly, at least they should be carefully cared for.
"Ling Zhaoting, if you can, let me take care of my grandfather these days, okay?"
"He's a stubborn old man, and there's a nurse to take care of him, and all you have to do is follow me to the elders of the family and tell them the news that we're getting married. β
"What?"
Although Ling Zhaoting has been emphasizing this matter, Lu Youyou still feels that it is too fast, she is not mentally ready, is she going to explain it to Ling Zhaoting's family?
"Can we stop being in such a hurry?"
"What?" Ling Zhaoting suddenly remembered something, changed his serious expression just now and said, "Yes, I haven't proposed to you yet, so I can't be in such a hurry." β
Seeing that Lu Youyou was stunned and didn't speak, he opened his mouth again.
"Don't worry, now it's just a matter of telling the family first, so that they can be mentally prepared, and when I return to China, I will prepare for a marriage proposal with you, and. He looked serious, "Although I have met your father and have business dealings with the company, I have never officially greeted him after all, especially as a fiancΓ©." Therefore, after returning to China, I will officially propose to your father, and I will definitely not treat you badly. β
"I didn't mean that......" Seeing him so serious, Lu Youyou was a little moved for a while, and felt that he was very thoughtful in doing so.
However, she always felt that this seemed inappropriate.
After all, Ling Zhaoting loved the original owner, the real eldest lady of the Lu family, not himself, an impostor after being reborn.
Ling Zhaoting didn't know his identity yet, he was so anxious to propose, in case Ling Zhaoting knew all the truth in the future, wouldn't she become a liar?
She looked confused, and finally said, "Let's talk about it when we return home." β
She still had a lot of questions in her mind, and she needed to sort everything out before she thought about what to do next.
It is not too late to mention marriage at that time.
Seeing Lu Youyou's resignation, a trace of loneliness flashed in Ling Zhaoting's eyes, and finally he didn't say anything, holding her hand and continuing to walk.
The atmosphere was even more silent than just now, and Lu Youyou found some topics from time to time to praise the flowers and plants in the yard.
Ling Zhaoting suddenly spoke: "This garden has a history of several decades, and it was built when grandpa proposed to grandma. Grandma loved rubies, and Grandpa found many, inlaid in the outer walls of the castle, the ones you see when you enter the door. β
"It's so romantic!"
"More romance is yet to come. Ling Zhaoting stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "Grandpa was a poor boy at the time, grandma is a prominent daughter, this family business was not favored, I didn't expect grandpa to please grandma in debt, grandma's family was very moved, so they agreed to this family business." After getting married, my grandfather worked hard and finally made a name for himself in the mall, which was recognized by my grandmother's family. β
Lu Youyou was a little envious, Ling Zhaoting held Lu Youyou's hand and continued to look forward.
The two of them chatted while walking like this, and suddenly, Steward Li hurriedly ran over and said, "Young Master, the master asked you to go over." β
Seeing his hurried expression, Ling Zhaoting frowned slightly: "Did you say anything?"
Steward Li shook his head and looked at Lu Youyou.
Ling Zhaoting also seemed to understand.
Tang Zhiqin just said that he was going to tidy up his father's clothes, but with his understanding of her, it was impossible for Tang Zhiqin to shut up, but he didn't know what she was talking about.
He held Lu Youyou's hand and tightened it tightly: "Steward Li, we're very busy now, so let's go." β
Lu Youyou grabbed his arm and interrupted him: "After all, it's your father, it should be very important for him to go to you." β
"Something important?" Ling Zhaoting glanced at her meaningfully.
Lu Youyou immediately understood something.
But after all, it is the elders of the family, and the elders are called, how can they not go?
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "Steward Li, you go first, we'll come right away." β
She shook Ling Zhaoting's arm, and Ling Zhaoting was thoughtful.
"Let's go. β
Lu Youyou's tone was almost coquettish, and Ling Zhaoting reluctantly agreed to go over and take a look.
But along the way, Ling Zhaoting didn't seem to be very happy, and it was no wonder that he and his father were so stiff, and now they had to face each other head-on, and they would inevitably have to argue.
When the time comes, it will be good for her to act when she sees the opportunity.
Thinking like this, I have come to the door of the living room.
Under the guidance of Steward Li, the two went to the study on the second floor.
A long corridor, with several rooms on the left and right, are all retro European-style carved doors, which look very exquisite.
This house was left by my grandfather to my grandmother, and I think it took a lot of thought at that time, and my grandfather must have loved my grandmother very much.
Lu Youyou was pondering, and suddenly there was a sound of something breaking from inside the door, as if it was accompanied by anger.
Her heart chuckled, and she subconsciously looked at Ling Zhaoting.
Ling Zhaoting's face was expressionless, but a pair of dark eyes couldn't look at it at a deep glance, as if he was suppressing something.
She immediately held Ling Zhaoting's hand, Ling Zhaoting understood what she meant, the cold expression on her face narrowed a little, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.
The arc is so faint that you can't see it at all if you don't look closely.
Despite this, Lu Youyou was already very happy, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Enter. β
A neutral male voice came from inside, and it seemed that he was also suppressing something.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath, clenched Ling Zhaoting's hand, and opened the door to enter.
As far as the eye can see, there are smashed debris in one place, and another mess.
All of this shows how angry the owner of this house is.
Lu Youyou smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, what did you call the two of us?"
Next to him, Tang Zhiqin glared at Lu Youyou and snorted coldly.
Ling Zhaoting's sharp eyes swept over, and Tang Zhiqin immediately hid behind Ling Zhaoting's father.
Ling Tianxing coughed lightly: "I heard that you are already living with my son?"
Lu Youyou didn't expect him to ask so directly, so she paused and said, "Yes, uncle." β
"Your aunt doesn't agree, how did you do it?"
He looked at Lu Youyou with the same sharp gaze.
This kind of look Lu Youyou is very familiar with, isn't it the look in Ling Zhaoting's eyes when he is angry? These two people are really worthy of being father and son, even the eyes are exactly the same, it seems that Ling Tianxing is really angry.
Looking at their appearance, Lu Youyou could probably guess what Tang Zhiqin had already said.
No matter what she said to Ling Tianxing, she couldn't panic.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath and said again: "Uncle, I have always respected my aunt, but she doesn't seem to approve of my relationship with Ling Zhaoting, but that Doctor Lin is more in the eyes of my aunt." β
Is that so?
Ling Tianxing looked at Tang Zhiqin, and she immediately cried: "Old man, don't you even believe what I say?" Ling Zhaoting is my son, will I still harm him?"
"Yes. β
Ling Zhaoting, who had been silent, opened his mouth coldly.
"I didn't believe it before, but after so many things, I finally saw it clearly, in order to let Lin Xuwei join our family, you didn't hesitate to attack Lu Youyou again or four times, and asked me to come up with evidence?"
Ling Tianxing slapped the table violently: "It's getting more and more unruly!How can you talk to your mother!"
"I don't need you to take care of my business. Ling Zhaoting's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear the ups and downs, but this sentence was extremely indifferent.
"You don't need me to take care of it, you have made your home so smoky, and you still say that you don't need me to take care of it?" Ling Tianxing stood up abruptly and shouted.
Lu Youyou was startled.
She had seen the angry Ling Zhaoting, but at this time, Ling Tianxing's expression was ten times more terrifying than Ling Zhaoting, a hundred times!
She couldn't help but shrink her neck, took a step back, and hid behind Ling Zhaoting.
"Where is the miasma? The person who disturbs the family is the woman next to you! You can't do anything for her!"
Ling Zhaoting's handsome face was gloomy and terrifying, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
Seeing that things were not good, Lu Youyou pulled his sleeve and said, "Ling Zhaoting, you go out first, I'll talk to my uncle." β
