Chapter 83: You’re Looking For Me?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Grandma, don’t bother with me. Just let me die of this illness.”

Chen Kexin cried silently.

“Ptui, ptui, ptui, don’t say such inauspicious words.” Old Madam Lu was superstitious and hated to hear such disheartening words.

“Grandma, what’s the point of me living now? I’ve wanted to marry Brother Ah Zhi since young. I’ve worked hard for the past 20 years to become his wife.”

“I learned how to paint, play the piano, dance, speak and write in three different languages… When the other girls were having fun, I locked myself in my room and forced myself to learn all those boring things…”

“Everything I did was just so I could marry him and become a qualified young madam of the Lu family. But now, not only has he married another woman, but he also doesn’t believe me at all. He chased me out in front of everyone and embarrassed me…”

As soon as Chen Kexin finished speaking, she had another coughing fit.

She looked like she couldn’t even breathe.

Old Madam Lu hurriedly patted her back. “Don’t be upset, Kexin. Since you couldn’t marry Ah Zhi, Grandma will find you another young talent…”

“I only want Brother Ah Zhi. I don’t want anyone else!” Chen Kexin cried.

Old Madam Lu didn’t know what else to do, so she kept quiet.

She had already thought through every possible solution.

But that vixen Jiang Yining was just too skillful.

There was no way to chase her away now.

After a long silence, Old Madam Lu said comfortingly, “Kexin, don’t let your imagination run wild. Nurse yourself back to health first. We can think about solutions after you recover.”

“Okay.”

Chen Kexin nodded tiredly and closed her eyes.

Old Madam Lu stood up and left.

Chen Kexin took out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Mom. The old madam has left. Come back.”

Not long after the call ended, Chen Qinglian entered the room.

Chen Kexin sat up anxiously and held her mother’s hand. “Mom, I’ve already made myself sick and told Grandma Lu as you instructed. What should we do next?”

To make herself sick, she took a very long cold shower.

Her body was now between ice and fire. One moment, she felt hot, and the next moment, she felt cold.

And she kept coughing.

She was feeling miserable…

Wouldn’t all this go to waste if the old madam didn’t take her side and speak up for her?

“Don’t be anxious. I’m now confined to the old residence and can’t leave the house. It takes more time for me to get things done. Moreover, we had set up a trap too hastily last time and let the girl turn the tables. We must plan carefully this time, so she won’t have any chance to retaliate.”

Chen Qinglian’s eyes flashed with viciousness.

“Then you’d better hurry up. If she gives birth to Brother Ah Zhi’s child, I will have no chance at all.” The old madam was anxious for a grandchild. The old madam was on her side now because of the past twenty years of friendship. But once Jiang Yining gives birth to a Lu child, the old madam would accept this granddaughter-in-law even if she didn’t want to.

Didn’t Lu Zhi’s mother marry into the Lu family in the same way?

“I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry. Even if she is pregnant, she won’t be able to give birth to the child!” Chen Qinglian said.

Chen Kexin bit her lower lip and suppressed the anxiety in her heart.

“Alright, I’ll do as you ask.”

Chen Qinglian looked at her daughter’s sick little face and patted her head lovingly. “Kexin, I know that you feel miserable now, but for the sake of your happiness for the rest of your life, you have to bear with it.”

“As long as I can marry Brother Ah Zhi, this illness is nothing.”

Chen Kexin didn’t know if she was saying this to comfort her mother or herself.

Jiang Yining dutifully called Old Master Lu after her classes ended for the day.

She also asked him if her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, was well.

She must build a good relationship with the Lu family if she wanted to find out what happened to Lin Yan.

She definitely couldn’t count on Old Madam Lu.

But the old master and her mother-in-law were more approachable…

Old Master Lu laughed happily as he heard her non-stop chattering. “My dear granddaughter-in-law, you must come to the old residence and visit me when you are free. Let’s have a game of chess and improve our skills together.”

“Sure thing. However, I’m not very good at chess, so Grandpa has to give me more leeway.”

“No problem.”

As soon as Old Master Lu finished speaking, a familiar yet strange voice rang out from the classroom door.

“Miss Jiang…”

Jiang Yining looked over and saw that it was Xiao Lang.

She frowned slightly.

She said softly, “Grandpa, 1 have to go now. I’ll talk to you again when I see you at the old residence.”

“Alright,” Old Master Lu agreed readily.

Jiang Yining kept her phone and walked down the steps.

“You’re looking for me?”
