Chapter 174: Chapter 174: I Like When the Young Bull Eats Old Grass

Inside the room.

Hearing what seemed to be a clang from outside, Lu Sheng’s voice paused, and she instinctively furrowed her brow.

"Wait a moment, Grandpa, there seems to be someone outside. I’ll go take a look."

As she spoke, Lu Sheng got up and headed towards the door, only then noticing that the door had been left ajar—it hadn’t been properly closed before.

But when she went out, there was no one there.

Lu Sheng thought she might have been overthinking it.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to her room, she noticed what seemed to be a water stain near the trash can not far away, dampening a patch of the dark red carpet.

She walked over and saw a bowl in the trash can, containing some remnants of what looked like a ginseng soup.

Touching it with her hand, she found the bowl was still warm.

Had someone brought ginseng soup over just now, but instead of entering, they threw it away outside the door, bowl and all?

Lu Sheng thought for a moment; the only person who could be bringing ginseng soup to Old Mr. Fu at this time would be Fu Siya.

Why had Fu Siya come over and then thrown the thing away?

Could it be that she overheard the conversation between Old Mr. Fu and herself just now and got angry?

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but frown slightly.

After returning to the room, Lu Sheng told Old Mr. Fu that there was no one outside.

Unaware that Fu Siya had just been there, he said to Lu Sheng, "By the way, Nannan, there’s something Grandpa wants to ask you."

"When you first arrived in Jiang City, you told me that we should just leave your and Chenchen’s engagement be and let nature take its course, so I haven’t brought it up since."

"But your father called me last night and said that he had sent your sister abroad, and that your sister and Chenchen would also break up."

To save the Lu Family’s face, they announced to the public that Lu Qianrou had been sent abroad for studies.

Old Mr. Fu said, "Nannan, your father said he strongly approves of your marriage to Chenchen and hopes you two can get engaged soon."

"But when I asked him if that was really your wish, your father’s answer was unclear."

"You know that Grandpa’s greatest wish is now to have you as my granddaughter-in-law, and your father is strongly supporting it, but Grandpa still values your wishes the most." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"So Grandpa wants to ask you, would you be willing to get engaged to Chenchen and marry into our Fu Family in the future?"

The first time Lu Sheng met Old Mr. Fu was when she had just been reborn and arrived in Jiang City.

At that time, the Lu Family’s elder brothers were very cold to her, Jiang Ting couldn’t wait to send her back to the countryside immediately, and Lu Qianrou saw her as a thorn in her side, constantly scheming against her secretly.

To secure the Fu Family as a temporary refuge, she did not outright refuse the marriage arrangement with Fu Chen.

But the situation was different now.

Now, Lu Sheng was regarded as the most important sister by all five of her brothers in the Lu Family, and she also had the most important person in her life.

"I am not willing."

Old Mr. Fu didn’t expect the girl to refuse so straightforwardly, and was stunned for a moment.

"Grandpa, I have someone I like," Lu Sheng said softly, but firmly, "I like Li Muchen, and he likes me too."

Hearing this name, Old Mr. Fu’s eyes widened, "...Nannan, who did you say? Are you talking about that kid from the Li Family?"

Lu Sheng nodded.

Old Mr. Fu instinctively wanted to say that Li Muchen had a disability in his leg.

But then he remembered that when he was poisoned last time, he saw Li Muchen standing up, though he didn’t know why.

That kid from the Li Family, be it his looks or his family’s wealth and capability, was top-notch in every aspect. The only flaw had been his disability, and now, even that had been cured.

Compared to him... his grandson really couldn’t match up.

It made sense for Nannan to like him rather than Chenchen.

But while Old Mr. Fu understood this logic, it still pained his heart tremendously.
