Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.
Chapter 41 "She" Had No Chance
The cemetery was quiet in the early morning, yet there was a hint of liveliness. The birds were chirping and singing, while the cemetery was quiet because there were no pedestrians or honking horns.
Today marks exactly one month since Grandpa passed away, and also exactly one month since I started living in the Imperial Garden.
She placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, took out a handkerchief and a wet wipe from her pocket, and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone. The area around the tombstone was very clean.
Tang Junyao was very satisfied. Her grandfather loved cleanliness the most and always swept the front yard spotless.
The day after Grandpa Tang's burial, she found the cemetery staff and gave them extra money every month, asking them to clean the cemetery every day. It seems the money worked well, as the cemetery was very clean.
After completing a series of actions, she sat down right next to the tombstone without any hesitation, not minding the dirt.
Leaning her head against the tombstone, as if snuggling up to her grandfather, she said, "Old man, how are you doing over there?"
"Old man, I've been staying at the Imperial Garden for a month now. They've all been very good to me. You've definitely arranged the best for me, so you can rest assured. Also, I've really angered your son half to death. He knows you've given me all your assets, and he's been trying to get me to transfer them to him. But I haven't given them to him. You can't say I'm heartless. You gave them to me yourself, and besides, I don't want to give them to him."
"Grandpa, I have a secret to tell you. I think I'm starting to get used to Ji Hancheng. Do you think that's a good thing?"
She was a sensitive person. From the moment she started looking for him this morning, she knew that her feelings had changed. However, she didn't want to tell Su Xue about this because Ji Hancheng didn't like her and they were going to get a divorce in two months.
She wanted to leave gracefully.
They chatted intermittently in front of the tombstone for over an hour, then slowly stood up, bowed to the tombstone, and said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you again next time."
Lu Jinnan arrived at Old Master Lu's grave early in the morning with the entire Lu family. Today is the anniversary of Old Master Lu's death.
Whether they are abroad or in China, they all have to rush back.
After finishing their tomb sweeping, the group walked out of the cemetery at the same time as Tang Junyao.
Lu Jinnan's gaze caught sight of a familiar figure, and he was quite surprised when he saw the person's face clearly.
The pretty woman next to him, with delicate features, frowned and said, "This woman is crazy, driving so fast."
Lu Jinnan scolded his cousin Lu Man in an unfriendly tone, "Don't use your own ideas to judge anyone. They didn't eat a single bite of your food, it's none of your business."
Lu Man only decided to come back after receiving a message last night. However, she had always made up a lot of excuses not to come back in the past. According to the Lu family's rules, she must come back, because she is the most beloved "granddaughter" of the old master Lu.
It's normal for exceptions to occur, and Lu Man is quite proud of that.
Lu Man, wearing a black knitted dress and high heels, asked, "Brother, do you know that woman from earlier?"
Lu Jinnan ignored her and walked away. He didn't like this so-called cousin at all.
Unfortunately, she was related to her uncle, so she could only pretend otherwise.
Lu Man pouted in dissatisfaction. Lu Jinnan had never liked her much since they were little, and he treated the neighbor's little sister better than she did.
But it doesn't matter. She didn't come back this time to repair her relationship with him; she wanted to start over...
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Lu Jinnan turned to his mother and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to the company now. I have a meeting this morning."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu gestured for their son to hurry up and go, as work was the priority.
After getting into the car, Lu Jinnan quickly started the engine, and while driving, he put on a Bluetooth headset and called Ji Hancheng. "What are you doing, Young Master Ji?" he said with a hint of teasing in his voice.
A man's voice came from the other end of the line, sounding like he didn't want to waste time arguing with him, subtly reminding him, "You're fully recovered."
Lu Jinnan, with one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Brother, I'm still in pain today. I'm just trying to keep it from my parents noticing, otherwise my mom would definitely come after you."
"Are you sure your mom knows why I hit you? She came to settle scores with me, not to beat you up when we get home?"
Lu Jinnan: "............" You can't get over this joke, huh?
"Whether you listen to these two things or not."
Ji Hancheng said impatiently, "If you want to get to the point, hurry up. I don't have time to waste with your nonsense."
Lu Jinnan almost choked on his breath. "Young Master Ji, are you sexually frustrated this early in the morning? Did your sister-in-law fail to satisfy you? Your temper is so fiery."
Ji Hancheng: "........."
To prevent Ji Hancheng from getting really angry, Lu Jinnan quickly said, "I saw my sister-in-law when I was sweeping the grave this morning. She must have come to see Old Tang. Her back looked a bit lonely, and she looked quite pitiful."
Ji Hancheng paused in his typing. This woman went to the cemetery this morning. She has to work tonight. Today isn't a special day. What is she doing at the cemetery?
Are you in a bad mood?
Receiving no response, Lu Jinnan assumed the call had ended. Since it was silent, he tentatively called out again, "Is Young Master Ji listening?"
"Um."
Lu Jinnan wanted to say, "At least you're breathing!" "There's one more thing, Lu Man is back."
Ji Hancheng reverted to his usual cold demeanor. "What does this have to do with me?"
Lu Jinnan reminded her again, "What do you think? She doesn't know you're already married. She hasn't come back for so many years, and this time she's probably here to hurt you. Your sister-in-law is a good person. If you really don't like her, don't hurt her."
"She has no chance." The call was abruptly cut off after he finished speaking.
Lu Jinnan was completely bewildered. Who exactly was he talking about who didn't have a chance?
Is it Lu Man or her sister-in-law? This person never speaks clearly.
Lu Jinnan was puzzled and wanted to chat with Han Yue. He dialed the number, "Young Master Han, are you still sleeping? I'm telling you, you don't have a woman, why do you sleep so much every day?"
Han Yue: "Tonify the kidneys."
Lu Jinnan: Who are you saying has bad kidneys?
"Let's analyze this together. I saw my sister-in-law at the cemetery this morning. I felt sorry for her coming to sweep the grave alone. It's not easy for her. Young Master Ji really doesn't care about women at all. How could he let my sister-in-law come alone?" He didn't care whether Han Yue liked it or not, and just poured out everything he had in his heart.
Han Yue's muffled voice came through the earphones, "Don't be reckless."
"What do you mean? You see such a girl coming to such a sad place all by herself, and you're not moved at all? Also, Lu Man is back. I just told Young Master Ji, and she said there's no chance. Do you think she meant his wife has no chance, or Lu Man has no chance?"
Han Yue pinched his brow, sat up, and let out a sigh of relief. "Stop focusing on Tang Junyao. Whether she's pitiful or suffering, Ji Hancheng hasn't said anything. Why are you getting involved?" He rarely spoke so much.
Although Han Yue could see Ji Hancheng's attitude towards Tang Junyao, he also understood Ji Hancheng's personality. Therefore, he couldn't be 100% sure about the outcome two months later. He could only wait and see what happened to the parties involved. Outsiders shouldn't interfere too much in matters of the heart, not even the best of friends.
"I wasn't involved, so who is Young Master Ji referring to when he said there was no chance?" Lu Jinnan asked, unwilling to give up.
"Think for yourself, that's it. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone without getting an answer, Lu Jinnan scolded Han Yue.
I shouldn't have called him. How could I expect to get an answer from him? He's just like Ji Hancheng—tight-lipped and scheming.
