Chapter 17
Without waiting for Lu Haiqiao to ask, Lu Yunge explained, “When Second Brother was playing games on his phone, he sat on Grandpa’s reading glasses on the table.”
Lu Haiqiao: “…”
His butt must be unlucky, of all places to sit, he had to choose the coffee table.
That’s what she thought, but she still sighed softly and said, “But there’s no need for him to reflect for over a week just because of a pair of reading glasses. Grandpa has plenty of them in his drawer. If he likes that style, he can buy another one…”
Lu Yunge interrupted her, “The broken pair was the one you helped Grandpa pick out six years ago.”
Lu Haiqiao quickly changed her tune, “Oh, then, he’s not aggrieved.”
It was well known that in the Lu family, anything associated with Lu Haiqiao was treated like a family heirloom by Old Master Lu. Not to mention breaking it, they were not even allowed to look at it, let alone touch it.
“When can he come out?” Lu Haiqiao asked.
Lu Yunge: “In about two weeks.”
Punished for a whole month…
Grandpa was ruthless.
Seeing Lu Yunge move to the armchair on the other side and sit, Lu Haiqiao also turned around and sat down obediently.
Two weeks was too long for her to wait.
Lu Haiqiao checked her phone and saw that it was already past midnight.
Grandpa Lu lived in F Country, taking into account the time difference, it was currently six in the evening over there.
She immediately unlocked the screen, opened WeChat, and found the dialog box with ‘Grandpa’ on it.
She always sent voice messages because the Old Master had poor eyesight.
“Grandpa, it’s Haiqiao. It’s like this. I need a little help from Second Cousin, but I’ve been looking for him for several days and can’t seem to find him. Can you please help me find him? I’m waiting online, and it’s quite urgent.”
Lu Yunge shuddered involuntarily…
Based on Grandpa’s habits, he should be having dinner at this time.
The old man was strict and had many rules. He had instilled the principle of ‘when eating, do not converse; when in bed, do not speak’ in his grandchildren since they were young.
So when he was having a meal, even if you sent him a message saying ‘waiting online, urgent’, or even if you called him repeatedly, he might not respond.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Lu Yunge heard Old Master Lu’s voice coming from Lu Haiqiao’s phone speaker, “Haiqiao, it’s you. Have you been busy lately? It’s been so long since you contacted Grandpa, I’ve missed you so much!”
Faintly in the background, the voice of the butler could be heard, “Master, would you like another serving of vegetables?”
Lu Yunge: ???
What happened to the strict upbringing?
Where were the rules?
What happened to ‘eating in silence and when in bed, do not speak’?
Did the dogs eat them all?
Lu Haiqiao replied to Grandpa’s voice message, “I have been a bit busy lately, but I’ve always had you in my heart, Grandpa.”
Not long after, the Old Master sent a message.
Before opening the voice message from Grandpa, Lu Haiqiao hung up the WeChat voice message from Lu Xuege without hesitation.
“My precious granddaughter, what have you been busy with lately? Are you in a relationship? If you have a boyfriend, you must not hide it from Grandpa, okay? Grandpa will keep an eye on you. We can’t let some ill-mannered rascal deceive my precious granddaughter!”
Lu Haiqiao sat on the soft sofa with her long legs crossed, and upon hearing this voice message, her grip on the phone tightened slightly.
Somehow, an image of a blurry figure standing in front of a dartboard flashed in her mind.
