ards the CEO's office."Lu Zong," she knocked on the door.Lu Hanchuan's icy voice echoed from inside the room, "Come in!"Fu Xiaoyao pushed the door open, “Here is the bone marrow donation form, I broug...It is said that one knows their son best as a father does. Though the old gentleman wasn't Lu Hanchuan's biological father, he was his grandfather, and perhaps the person who understood Lu Hanchuan best of all.
So I immediately figured out the reason.
Lu Hanchuan was not surprised by the old man's quick reaction. He calmly replied, "It's not a threat."
He only gave Fu Xiaoyao a choice.
One that let her choose the village, or her own freedom, and she chose the former.
He also knew his actions were a bit despicable, but as long as he could bring her back, what did it matter if the means were a little low
Even if she ultimately chose not to stay in the village, he had a way of bringing her back.
"Not a threat" The old man's face fell. "So you did threaten Xiaoyao after all, didn't you"
"Yes." Lu Hanchuan admitted.
The old man glared angrily, “Hanchuan, what do you want to do You clearly know that Xiao Yao is disappointed in you. You not only don't get a divorce, but you also personally go and bring her back. And after bringing her back Are you going to ignore her like before”
"No more." Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips. "This time, no more."
"Oh" the old man was slightly surprised, "Well, have you figured something out"
"Yes, I understand now. I love her, that's why I don't want a divorce. This time, I'll bring her back and beg for her forgiveness. We'll become true husband and wife." Lu Hanchuan said.
"Wait a minute." The old man was dumbfounded, even thinking he had misheard. "What did you just say You love Xiaoyao"
"Yes." Lu Hanchuan nodded.
The old man's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't you still have feelings for that woman from the Qi family How did you suddenly fall for Xiaoyao"
Lu Hanchuan remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "Actually, I don't know the answer to this question myself. I didn't even realize my feelings for Fu Xiaoyao until Song Auntie and Shao Sian reminded me. Otherwise, I might not have realized it until now. As for Xiaoya, that's all in the past."
"Hmm," the old man stroked his white beard, seemingly unsure whether to believe him. "I don't know if what you say is true or not, but I just want to ask you, are you sure that this time when you bring Xiaoyao back, you won't treat her like you used to"
"Definitely." Lu Hanchuan affirmed with seriousness.
The old man's expression finally softened, and he chuckled twice. "Alright, I'll believe you one more time. Since you've made up your mind, of course this old man hopes that you and Xiaoyao can reconcile. After all, Xiaoyao is my acknowledged daughter-in-law."
"I can do that."
“That’s good then, I’ll be waiting to hear the good news that Xiaoyao forgives you. After you two make up, you better treat Xiaoyao well and stop doing these ridiculous things. Otherwise, I’ll break one of your legs, not just give you a dozen lashes like this time, remember that” The old man warned coldly.
Lu Hanchuan hastily replied, "Rest assured, Grandfather, this time I won't disappoint you."
"Well, that's about right." The old man nodded in satisfaction, then asked for the first time this period, showing a concern he hadn't displayed before, "How's the injury on your back"
Lu Hanchuan touched the back of his neck, "Not bad."
"It seems like the recovery is going well. Well, I've asked everything I wanted to ask. There's one more thing, please tell Xiao Yao for me."
"What did you say"
The old man's voice was kind as he spoke, "Just tell them that I have always recognized her as my granddaughter-in-law and welcome her back."
"Alright, I'll let her know." Lu Hanchuan replied.
After ending the call, he put his phone away and returned to his apartment.
Fu Xiaoyao just came out of the restroom and saw him. She casually asked, "Is the phone call finished"
"It's over. Grandpa knew you were back and asked me what happened." Lu Hanchuan said as he sat down.
"It's Grandpa's call" Fu Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.
"Hmm."
Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyes, "How is Grandpa recently"
"He's always been in good health." Lu Hanchuan crossed his legs.
Fu Xiaoyao heard this and her heart settled, "That's good then, what did grandpa say"
"He asked me to tell you something." Lu Hanchuan looked at her.
Fu Xiaoyao blinked, "Grandpa has something to tell me What is it"
“Grandpa said he only recognizes you as his granddaughter-in-law and welcomes you to come back with me,” Lu Hanchuan replied with a smirk.
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's heart was struck with a sudden jolt, and a surge of overwhelming emotion washed over her. "Grandpa..."
She thought that when the old man said to her, on her departure, that she was always welcome back, it had already deeply moved her. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To her surprise, this statement shook her even more. Recognizing only her as his granddaughter-in-law meant the old man didn't want any other women to become his granddaughters-in-law. Such an honor, she felt unworthy of it.
Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao's nose felt sour, and she was about to cry.
Lu Hanzchuan saw that her eyes were red, and reached out to touch her forehead, "Touched"
Fu Xiaoyao let out a soft snort, turning her head away. "Even if I'm moved, it's for Grandpa, not you."
"I know." Lu Hanchuan nodded. "But Grandfather still hopes we reconcile, so what do you think"
Fu Xiaoyao hung her head, not answering.
Lu Hanchuan also knew why she didn't answer. He felt a little guilty in his heart and didn't force her to give him an answer. He smoothly changed the topic, "How did you feel about the house after seeing it"
"Good." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.
Lu Hanchuan looked at the time. "Since you think it's nice, why not stay here It's getting late. Are you hungry"
Fu Xiaoyao touched her stomach, "A little bit."
"Then let's go, I'll treat you to a meal." Lu Hanchuan picked up the coat draped over the sofa.
Fu Xiaoyao didn't refuse and followed him out of the apartment.
By the time I got back after dinner, it was already two hours later, and it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
Fu Xiaoyao leaned against the kitchen door, watching the man inside who was boiling water. She finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going back"
"Are you trying to drive me away" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.
Fu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue, "This is your house, how do I have the right to ask you to leave I just said that I wanted to live alone, so..."
"I understand. I'll leave after finishing this cup of tea," Lu Hanchuan said as he picked up the water pot and poured water into his cup.
Fu Xiaoyao was a little surprised to hear him agree so readily to leave, but she quickly composed herself and turned to leave the kitchen.
Lü Hánchuan indeed left as he said, after finishing that cup of tea.
But before leaving, he said something that made her go to the hospital for a checkup with him tomorrow.
Fu Xiaoyao also understood that her body was getting worse day by day, and she had to get a checkup. So she didn't refuse him and agreed.
After Lu Hanchuan left, Fu Xiaoyao closed the door, stretched, and began packing her things.
Her luggage wasn't much, coming and going she always used the same suitcase. There wasn't much in it either, it only took a few minutes to pack.
Only when she closed her suitcase did she see a file bag in the compartment.
She took out the file bag, opened it, and inside were two property deeds and a bank card worth ten million.
This was the divorce settlement that her grandfather had given her. She tossed it into her suitcase when she left the villa, and for so many days, she had forgotten about it. If she hadn't just happened to discover it, she probably wouldn't have remembered.
"I should have returned it to Lu Hanchuan just now." Fu Xiaoyao murmured, closing the file bag again.cane.She just didn't see it."Did Mr. Lu have you prepare this" Fu Xiaoyao asked.The waiter replied, "Yes."Fu Xiaoyao received the cane with a complex expression and tucked it under her arm.
