Hearing Lu Huai's voice, Ah Jiu had a rare smile on his face.
The originally pale and sad face was also brightened by this smile, the sickness seemed to be swept away, and she had a girlish appearance.
Lu Huai walked towards her, and he closed the door behind him.
The door was gently closed behind, locking up this Lu family's secret.
Lu Huai lowered his voice: "Ajiu, how are you doing now?"
Ah Jiu was frightened once, she couldn't hear too loud sounds. Whether it is in a crowded place or a noisy place, it will cause her to panic.
Ajiu opened her mouth, as if thinking of something, and after a few seconds, she closed her mouth again.
She raised her hand and made a series of sign language.
Lu Huai watched Ajiu's movements and read out slowly: "Today is mother's birthday."
Ajiu smiled, and she nodded.
Lu Huai glanced at Ajiu, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, she had clearly grown a lot over the years, but her figure was still thin.
Ah Jiu didn't speak, and was easily frightened. She thought of her mother's birthday, so she was emotionally unstable these days.
Lu Huai told Ah Jiu: "She is fine now."
Ajiu waved her hand, she meant that this was not what she asked. Immediately afterwards, she began to communicate with Lu Huai in sign language.
Lu Huai read Ajiu's words: "Do you want to visit your mother?"
Ah Jiu's eyes lit up, and soon, she nodded vigorously again.
Lu Huai didn't speak, looking at Ah Jiu who had grown up now, he fell silent.
A few years ago, Ah Jiu was just a girl who had just entered middle school. She is kind-hearted, pure and beautiful, and she grew up carrying the expectations of Lu's family.
Because of selfishness, someone in the Governor's Mansion set fire to Ajiu's room when Lu Huai and Lu Zongting were not at home.
When Ajiu was rescued, she was already in a coma with burns on her body. They sent her to the hospital overnight and rescued her.
But when Ajiu woke up again, although she was out of danger, her eyes were staring at the ceiling, unable to speak anymore.
In order to prevent Ajiu from being harmed again, this matter was completely concealed by the Lu family.
Ajiu was sent to the best hospital abroad for treatment, and at the same time, they released false news to the outside world.
Everyone thought that Miss Lu's family was going to study abroad, so she left Shanghai. Of course, Ajiu is not very old, and she doesn't often hang out with those famous ladies in Shanghai, so not many people pay attention to her.
A few good classmates in the school called the governor's mansion several times to ask, and those people always wanted to know why Ajiu didn't contact them.
The Lu family didn't tell the truth either, and a lie is far better than the cruel truth. As time passed, no one cared about Ajiu's situation.
After Ajiu came back from abroad, she stayed in this nursing home and slowly recovered.
Although the external medical technology is good, Ah Jiu's scar still cannot completely disappear.
Ah Jiu covered her scars with loose clothes, she knew that Lu Huai and Lu Zongting were very busy, and she didn't want them to worry about her.
Lu Huai had been silent for a long time after falling into that memory just now.
At this moment, Ajiu tugged on Lu Huai's sleeve, her expression was a little curious, as if she was asking why Lu Huai didn't speak.
Only then did Lu Huai come back to his senses, and looked at Ajiu.
Lu Huai hesitated: "Ajiu, I can't take you there yet."
Ajiu was puzzled, so she made sign language and asked Lu Huai again.
Why?
Lu Huai reached out and touched Ajiu's head: "It's very cold in winter, and your health is not very good."
Lu Huai thought for a while, and made a promise to Ajiu: "Next spring, when my mother celebrates her birthday, shall we go see her together?"
Ajiu lowered her head, seeming a little disappointed. However, in an instant, she quickly raised her head and smiled at Lu Huai.
Ajiu moved her mouth.
Lu Huai saw her mouth shape clearly, she said a good word.
She agreed.
Ah Jiu is very good, but her only shortcoming is that she is too sensible. It was being too sensible that made him feel uncomfortable.
Even though she was burned and fled from a life-and-death crisis, her mind was still clear and she was always much smarter than others.
Ah Jiu's health is very good. The doctor said that the problem is not her body, but her psychology.
Her vocal system is not damaged at all, and as long as she can overcome her heart disease, she can still continue to speak.
Lu Huai looked at her: "Ajiu, you have grown taller."
Lu Huai found that Ajiu was already very tall. He could tell that she was almost as tall as Ye Chu just by taking a look. Well, they're also about the same age...
He was taken aback, why would he think of Ye Chu at this time.
Maybe it's because I've been with her these days, and I always think of her unconsciously.
Lu Huai didn't know whether to tell Ah Jiu about her, but he hesitated for a moment, but didn't speak.
But Ah Jiu had already seen that there was something on his mind, so she tugged on his sleeve again. She looked at Lu Huai seriously, as if asking him to tell the truth.
Lu Huai said slowly, "Ajiu, I met a girl."
Ajiu's eyes lit up, and she gestured a word.
sister-in-law?
Lu Huai was taken aback.
He suddenly smiled: "She is not your sister-in-law."
Ajiu looked at Lu Huai thoughtfully, for so many years, there was no girl who got close to Lu Huai. This girl was the only one she heard.
She would take it for granted that she was her sister-in-law.
Lu Huai said: "The relationship between us is complicated, and I can't explain it to you now."
Ah Jiu didn't quite understand what Lu Huai meant, so she could only nod her head half understanding.
Ajiu kept looking at Lu Huai, clearly wanting to know more. Lu Huai would always satisfy her request, so he started talking to her.
Lu Huai: "She is very brave. She saved me once on White Road."
"At that time I was seriously injured and someone was chasing me."
"Oh, by the way, we had a fight at first."
"..."
Lu Huai talked a lot to Ajiu, he was always taciturn, but he was very patient when dealing with Ajiu.
Listening to this, Ajiu couldn't help laughing, it was the first time she knew that Lu Huai could use so many words to talk about a girl.
She asked Lu Huai.
What do you think of her.
Lu Huai's tone was very calm: "I don't have any ideas."
Ajiu pulled the corner of her mouth, showing her disbelief, and she told Lu Huai again.
You will definitely have more development in the future.
Lu Huai said lightly, "Really?"
It's not like asking Ajiu, but more like asking yourself.
Lu Huai was silent for a few seconds, he didn't think about Ye Chu and his future, but Ajiu reminded him. But the thought was fleeting.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Huai thought again, Ah Jiu has no friends here and is very lonely. However, if she could know Ye Chu, life would be different.
Lu Huai thought for a while: "If there is a chance, I will let you see her."
Lu Huai introduced her to Ah Jiu seriously.
"Her name is Ye Chu, she has a good temper, is smart and kind."
"Once you've met her, you'll like her."
"..."
Ah Jiu has never seen Lu Huai like this before, she already knew something, but she didn't explain it clearly.
Ye Chu.
Ajiu silently read these two words and smiled softly.
...
Shanghai, Ye Mansion.
A day has passed, and Ye Chu was sitting in the room, tapping the table with his fingers.
Because of the previous kidnapping, Ye Jiarou was locked in a small black room, and Ye Chu was also frightened. The Ye family has already asked for leave from the school, telling them not to go to school for the time being.
So during this time, Ye Chu will stay at home.
Yesterday was Lu Huai's mother's birthday, Ye Chu felt uneasy for some reason.
In his previous life, Ye Chu would accompany Lu Huai to the cemetery every time, and it has been five years. This time, she seemed not used to it.
How to send there a bouquet of flowers without Lu Huai's knowledge?
Lu Huai always went to the cemetery yesterday, without exception. He will either return to Shanghai now, or he will go to Nanjing to find Governor Lu, and he will not stay there.
Ye Chusi thought about it, but went out anyway.
She didn't do much camouflage, she was dressed very normally. Because she knew that as soon as she left the Ye Mansion, Lu Huai's people would soon follow.
Ye Chu stopped a rickshaw and went to Brown Road.
Because Brown Road is very long, there are many shops on the road, and there is an inconspicuous flower shop in a corner there.
If Ye Chu hadn't been here several times with her friends before, she herself would not have known that there would be a flower shop on Brown Road, let alone others.
After arriving at Brown Road, Ye Chu got off the rickshaw, but didn't go to the flower shop very quickly.
Ye Chu was walking on the road, turned around and entered a pastry shop.
This store is very famous for its traditional pastries, and she plans to buy a few boxes of pastries to go back to cover up her intention to go out this time.
A familiar voice sounded: "Ah Chu."
It sounds like he has known her for a long time.
Ye Chu recognized the voice, she turned her head to look, and smiled: "Grandpa."
Lu Shixian usually has nothing to do, so he hangs out on the streets of Shanghai Beach.
As soon as he arrived at Brown Road, he saw Ye Chu. When he came over, she had already entered the pastry shop.
Lu Shixian saw several people following Ye Chu behind her. Although they concealed it very well, most people would not know it, but they were still noticed by him.
You must inform Ye Chu about this kind of thing, Lu Shixian soon followed her in.
Lu Shixian said mysteriously: "I just discovered something."
Ye Chu leaned over his head: "What's the matter?"
Lu Shixian whispered in Ye Chu's ear, "Someone is following you."
Ye Chu: "..."
Although Lu Shixian doesn't know martial arts, his anti-tracking ability is top-notch. Even if the group behind were Lu Huai's people, it was easy for him to find them.
Seeing that Ye Chu didn't speak, Lu Shixian thought she was frightened. Just think about it, how could a sixteen-year-old girl deal with such a thing?
Lu Shixian said again: "Do you want me to help you get rid of them?"
Seeing Lu Shixian's extremely serious expression, Ye Chu couldn't bear to tell him that those people were actually his grandson's subordinates.
He was full of sincerity, and Ye Chu spat out a few words with difficulty: "No need."
Lu Shixian was startled: "Why?"
Ye Chu: "They are here to protect me." She didn't lie, but just concealed the part about Lu Huai.
Lu Shixian suddenly realized: "Ah Chu, the world is chaotic, you really need to pay more attention."
The second half of the sentence is that if she encounters any danger, she will not be able to know his grandson.
Lu Shixian thought to himself again, he and Ye Chu have met three times now, they are already acquaintances, and next time, he will take her to see Lu Huai.
Ye Chu opened his mouth: "Grandpa."
Lu Shixian looked at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled and said, "Since we are so destined, let me treat you to dinner."
Lu Shixian did not refuse: "Okay."
After they entered the restaurant, sat down and ordered food, Ye Chu knew that Lu Huai's subordinates had seen her and Lu Shixian come in with their own eyes, so she decided to make a phone call.
Ye Chu: "I'll ask my family what they want to eat first, and I'll take some back later."
Naturally, Lu Shixian would not doubt it.
Ye Chu borrowed a phone from the store to use it, and after looking around, she started calling after no one was around.
She called the florist.
She told the florist, her request, and will send a high fee.
Ye Chu quickly finished the phone call, then she turned and went back to have dinner with Lu Shixian.
After bidding farewell to Lu Shixian, Ye Chu immediately returned to the Ye mansion, and no one noticed anything wrong.
This afternoon, the florist received the money from the customer and immediately followed the customer's request.
...
On the other side, Lu Huai has already left the nursing home.
Yesterday was his mother's birthday, but because of Ah Jiu's incident, he didn't have time to go to the cemetery.
Usually, Lu Huai went to see his mother on her birthday, but this time was an exception.
The car from the Governor's Mansion drove to the cemetery. The weather was cold and gray, as if shrouded in an indistinct fog.
The driver was waiting outside, and Lu Huai walked in alone.
Lu Huai's mother has been dead for a long time, but someone often comes to clean the grave.
Because he left in a hurry, this time, Lu Huai didn't bring anything, not even flowers. He just wanted to chat with his mother.
Lu Huai walked towards the tombstone, and saw something there from a distance.
Lu Huai's steps stopped.
There is a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.
The tiny flowers are bunched together, and the stars are dotted, which is very beautiful.
starry sky.
Lu Huai leaned down, glanced at the bunch of gypsophila stars, frowned slightly, he was a little puzzled.
Who sent this?
Logically, no one would come here on his mother's birthday. Every year, he comes by himself. However, this is a heart.
Lu Huai suddenly felt relieved, it didn't seem to matter who sent the flowers anymore.
Looking at the name on the tombstone, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Mother, a lot has happened this year."
"Ajiu's condition is getting better and better, and she also wants to see you."
"..."
After Lu Huai finished speaking with his mother, he left.
The car started and drove towards Shanghai, all the way into the Governor's Mansion.
Adjutant Zhou hurriedly followed up the study room. During Lu Huai's absence, he had something to report.
After dealing with the busy affairs, Lu Huai was exhausted.
Lu Huai closed his eyes while pressing the center of his brows. He only had a short time to rest.
However, the bunch of stars in the sky appeared in front of my eyes. At the same time, I remembered the question, who sent it?
For some reason, that face appeared in Lu Huai's mind again.
It's strange, it is clear that Ye Chu has no doubts, why does he always feel that many things have something to do with her.
Lu Huai called the person who was following Ye Chu in, and wanted to ask him carefully.
Lu Huai asked lightly, "What has Ye Chu been doing recently?"
Subordinate: "A few days ago, she stayed in Ye Mansion and asked for leave from the school, so she didn't go to school."
The subordinate thought for a while: "However, Miss Ye Chu went out today and had dinner with your grandfather."
Lu Huai didn't seem to care about this: "Yes."
The subordinate frowned: "Our people were discovered by your grandfather."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
At this time, Lu Huai remembered that Lu Shixian mentioned before that he met a good person, and that person was probably Ye Chu.
Ye Chu has such a good temper, Lu Shixian will naturally like her.
Lu Huai suddenly smiled, there are so many coincidences in the world, and they all happened between the two of them.
He raised the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, you continue to follow Ye Chu."
"And..." Lu Huai said, "Take her orders as my orders, and make sure to ensure her safety."
The subordinate did not hesitate: "Yes, Third Young Master."
When the subordinate left, there was no sound in the study, and it was very quiet here.
Previously, Lu Huai had been sending people to protect Ye Chu because he was worried that she would be hurt.
However, the crisis around Ye Chu had been resolved, but he still didn't take back the group of people who protected her.
After all, he couldn't deceive himself and tell himself that it was because he was used to it.
Lu Huai has also been wondering whether Ye Chu is the kind person, and he still needs a conclusive evidence to be sure.
But this is not the reason why he sent someone to follow her. And, it seems to be their only connection.
In other words, he didn't want to lose his relationship with her, even a little bit.
The night became more and more quiet, Lu Huai sat in the room, examining his heart.
With so many affairs on weekdays, Lu Huai never thinks about himself. But this time, for the first time, he began to imagine his own future.
Many things were vague, but what he was sure of was that there would be her in that future.
That night, Lu Huai seemed to understand a truth, and this thought was different from the previous ones.
No matter whether Ye Chu is the anonymous person or not, no matter whether there will be danger around her...
Nothing seemed to stop him from approaching her.
