Chapter 292: Even scarier than Lu Jingchuan stabbing himself with a knife in front of her...
Mr. Lu had someone prepare dinner early in the morning. In the evening, the old man had nothing to do so he would lean on his crutches and look outside the door from time to time.
A car stopped in the yard, and finally a faint smile flashed across the old man's calm eyes. Lin Jiaran walked in front with a blue bird-colored painting tube in her hand, and Lu Jingshen followed behind.
Lin Jiaran gradually approached. The old man was still standing at the door with his cane, smiling.
"The thing in Ran's hand is for me, right?"
"I am here to fulfill my promise. You helped me with something, and now I am here to give you plum blossoms."
"Okay, okay, not bad, not bad. I have plum blossoms, but I still like the one my granddaughter-in-law gave me the best!"
"Grandpa, it's too early to praise you. You won't have any lines to say when you see the things later."
"Ran girl, there is a reason why I like you from the bottom of my heart."
When they reached the door of the house, Lin Jiaran handed the painting tube to Lu Jingshen who was walking over, and helped the old man into the house.
"I'm not bragging, I guarantee you'll be grinning from ear to ear, this plum blossom is hard to find, it was created by a famous artist, and it's his last work. If it weren't for our relationship, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you..."
After entering the house, when he heard that the gift was plum blossoms, the old man couldn't wait to ask Lu Jingshen to give him the painting tube. The old man opened the painting tube personally and carefully.
Inside the painting tube is a lifelike plum blossom painting, which is a famous painting by the famous painter Mr. Dong. The cinnabar red plum blossom he painted is a unique skill. He is famous for painting pine, bamboo, plum and orchid, and enjoys the elegant reputation of "Dong Plum", "Shouping Bamboo" and "Huangshan Giant" in the painting world.
"Ran girl, you are the only plum blossom that stands out in my place!"
"Why didn't you take out your phone and take a couple of pictures to post on your Moments today? You shouldn't have done that. I often see you posting on your Moments to show off. It's not your style to take a couple of pictures to show off something this valuable. You don't really like it, do you? If you don't like it, just say so and give it back to me. There's no need to pretend." Lu Jingshen, who was dissatisfied but didn't dare to show it, said sarcastically.
"I just don't like dealing with people with pink eye. They are so jealous."
"Ran girl, don't listen to his nonsense, I really like this painting!"
"What this means is that the things you said before were not real love, they were just pretending!" Lu Jingshen said in a veiled tone.
"Oh, conjunctivitis is so scary... Put my paintings away quickly, and don't let people with conjunctivitis take even one more look at them, lest my paintings be tainted by foul air." As the old man spoke, he carefully rolled up the painting and put it into the painting tube, and called out to Lu Cheng to take it away and put it away.
"If you want it, just tell me directly. Why are you being so sarcastic? But even if you want it, I won't give it to you!" Lu Jingshen saw through the petty old man and deliberately added at the end.
"I'm definitely not being sarcastic!" Lu Jingshen immediately explained when Lin Jiaran looked over.
"I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just unhappy and jealous!"
"Who is jealous? Do I need to be jealous of you?"
"Honestly, you showed it quite obviously!" Lin Jiaran couldn't help but say.
"Ran girl, let's go eat and make him unhappy. Don't pay any attention to him!"
The old man stood up with the help of a cane. His leg problems had become more serious recently, making it inconvenient for him to stand up. Lin Jiaran immediately went over to support him.
"Is it that obvious? It seems not..." After Lin Jiaran said this, Lu Jingshen, who thought that his performance was not obvious, sat where he was and picked up his phone to look at his handsome face and talked to himself. He found that there was nothing unusual. He was as handsome as ever, and there was no sign of displeasure on his face.
After helping the old man to the restaurant, Lu Jingshen was still nowhere to be seen. Lin Jiaran walked back to the living room, where Lu Jingshen was still holding his phone and looking at his face.
"Although you are handsome, there is no need to be so narcissistic. However, it would be disgusting if others saw you being so narcissistic."
"..."
"Didn't you guys eat?"
"You don't want to eat? Do you want to be a god if you don't eat?"
Realizing that he was still being cared about, Lu Jingshen immediately strode over with a smile on his face.
"Why would you give him such an expensive gift? Don't misunderstand me, I'm definitely not being sarcastic. I'm just asking."
"If Grandpa hadn't stepped in to help me, there's no way I would have been able to get the startup fund last year. I'm just thankful for that."
"You got it by your own strength, so why do you need to thank him for anything?"
"To put it simply, I graduated but not completely. I failed some majors, but my grandfather said I could delay my graduation and take it again this year. I was originally not able to get the start-up fund, but my grandfather interceded for me, and my father lowered the standard and said that a degree certificate would be enough. I originally planned to study abroad, but my grandfather said that it is the same abroad and at home. If I go abroad, I may have to study for another year, but in China, I can finish next year. He helped me solve the problem, so of course I have to thank him."
The two of them walked into the restaurant.
"Some people always judge others by their own standards!" said the old man.
"..."
"Ran girl, eat more. These are all your favorite foods. Your schoolwork is heavy. You must take good care of your body, otherwise you will not have the energy to study."
"Thank you grandpa!"
"Another thing is that the distance between the school and the company is a bit far, which is not convenient. I don't need to go to the company. Anyway, going to the company is just for practical learning, so it doesn't matter if I don't go."
"Of course you can, but can my grandfather help me keep someone?"
"That person is Mo Lan, right?"
"Of course you can, but it depends on the situation. It doesn't matter. You study first and leave it to me!" While the old man was speaking, his eyes slightly glanced towards Lu Jingshen.
After dinner, the old man asked Lu Cheng to take Lin Jiaran upstairs to get some documents she needed to take to school to report. Only the grandfather and grandson were left downstairs. This was also because the old man deliberately sent Lin Jiaran away so that he could talk to Lu Jingshen alone.
"I know you don't want to, and I didn't let her get any deeper. I'm old now, and I can't manage it anymore. In the future, you, as the eldest brother, will be responsible for all matters big and small in the Lu family."
"The Lu family has prospered for a hundred years, and we cannot let anyone ruin its reputation. No matter who is at fault, there are laws. You must remember that someone needs to take up the burden of the Lu family. This is the meaning of my training you since childhood, and I hope you can understand!"
Lu Jingshen stood there listening to the old man's meaningful words. When Lin Jiaran came downstairs with her things, the two had finished their conversation. Lu Jingshen was waiting for her at the door. Lin Jiaran left only after saying goodbye to the old man.
"Which school are you going to? Or Anhui University?"
While driving, Lu Jingshen was already thinking about the days after Mrs. Lu went to school. Anyway, he would follow her wherever she was.
"Yeah." Lin Jiaran leaned against the window with a look of despair, her face looking a little discouraged.
"What's wrong?" Hearing that the answer voice was a little strange, Lu Jingshen looked over.
"I'm too tired to talk about it."
Lin Jiaran was in a bad mood until she got home. She returned to Jingyuan, changed her shoes after entering the house, and sat on the sofa without saying a word, looking very melancholy.
Knowing what Mrs. Lu was sad about, Lu Jingshen went to get a cup of her favorite cake.
"I think you're a good student. You don't have to worry about not passing next year."
Delicious cake, but just looked at it and didn't have any appetite.
"I have no appetite and can't eat."
"Thinking about the disguised deductions from the evil school, I now regret that I should have gone abroad for further studies. At least I would have been confident that I would not fail. Delaying graduation is already embarrassing. If I fail again next year, I think I will die."
"How many points are you missing in the theory test?"
"When I took the exam, I felt that I would not fail. Maybe I was too confident. As a result, I got the lowest score in the entire major. I thought about making up the exam last year, and I passed it. When I thought I had passed, they said that there were problems with my thesis and the plagiarism rate was very high. They almost revoked my degree. In short, I could not graduate smoothly. It was my grandfather who stepped in to help me. In the end, I had to delay my graduation."
“Is it the paper in the computer?”
"That's right. When did you read it?"
"I took a look while I was fixing your computer."
Lu Jingshen suddenly frowned.
"I know what you're going to say, but I suggest you don't say it!"
"I think you'll be able to make it next year."
After he read the paper, he checked the plagiarism rate for her. It was within 5%. How could the plagiarism rate be too high? Unless someone didn't want Mrs. Lu to graduate smoothly and was deliberately making trouble, there was a mystery in the old man's meaningful words today. If what he guessed was correct, everything was related to this old man. It seemed that this old man had been planning something for a long time.
She didn't know where Lu Jingshen got the confidence to speak to her like that. She herself had no confidence and had even begun to doubt her own IQ.
"You are quite confident!"
"Of course. Next year, you will graduate successfully, and the wedding will be held in September. Don't you think it's great to have a double happiness?"
If people talked about her studying for six years for an undergraduate major and not even graduating next year at the wedding, it would be even scarier than Lu Jingchuan stabbing himself in front of her...
"If I don't make it next year, you can hold a wedding by yourself. I will not attend."
"If you do this on purpose, who can I cry to..."
