I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 307 – “Tell me the truth. Grandpa, is he…” (2)

Chapter 307 – “Tell me the truth. Grandpa, is he…” (2)

Lu Shaoyan was silent and expressionless for a long time. He didn’t look like his usual wild and carefree self. “I told you a long time ago. She’s doing very well.”

Lu Shaoyan stood up. “You’re in poor health. Rest early.”

Old Master Lu tried to grab his hand to keep him for a few more questions, but Lu Shaoyan forcibly flicked his hand away. “I’m leaving.”

“Old Lu, stop him. I still… I still have more questions for him!” Old Master Lu was very agitated. His chest was heaving.

Butler Lu didn’t stop Lu Shaoyan. He watched him leave and took painstaking effort to persuade Old Master Lu, “The doctor has already said a year ago that you need to take care of your health even if you don’t go to the hospital for treatment. Why tax your mind and body? No matter how important something is, can it be more important than your health? Listen to me. Get better first, then you can ask whatever you want to ask, okay?”

“No! I’m sure Shaoyan is hiding the truth from me! He’s definitely hiding something!”

Butler Lu was helpless. “So many years have passed. You can’t change anything now! Young Master must have reasons for why he doesn’t want to tell you…”

Old Master Lu urged Butler Lu, “Go, go ask him! Hurry up!”

Seeing that Butler Lu wasn’t moving, Old Master Lu yelled, “Go!”

He was so agitated that he couldn’t catch his breath again.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go ask. You go rest. I’ll go right away!”

Old Master Lu kept urging Butler Lu, so he had no choice to go out despite being extremely worried.

Butler Lu had been a servant of the Lu family for many years. He had been by Old Master Lu’s side since he was young and was privy to all of Old Master Lu’s secrets.

So many years had passed, and what was done can’t be reversed. Old Master Lu had already done everything that he could. What else could be done?

He helplessly sighed. Right after he closed the door, he saw Lu Shaoyan standing near the shadow of a covered corridor and smoking. The lighting was dim in the courtyard, and he couldn’t clearly make out Lu Shaoyan’s expression.

Butler Lu walked over and shouted in a serious voice, “Young Master.”

Lu Shaoyan glanced at the door. “Dad told you to ask me?”

“Yes, Old Master sent me to ask you…”

“No need to ask.” Lu Shaoyan stubbed out the cigarette and interrupted him, “Tell him that my mom is doing very well abroad. Tell him to not worry and focus on getting better.”

“But…”

Lu Shaoyan was unwilling to say anymore. He threw the cigarette butt in a trash can and left.

Butler Lu didn’t feel right stopping him. He watched him leave and helplessly sighed.

It was the dead of night, and the Lu’s ancestral home that had been bustling with noise and excitement all day had fallen silent. After settling Old Master Lu down, Butler Lu was weary as he walked out of the room.

Butler Lu had gotten old too. He had served the Lu family for most of his life. His body wasn’t what it used to be. Although he didn’t suffer any ailments when he was young, it was inevitable that he would feel weary after working all day at his old age.

Hunched over, he paused every few steps. Right after walking through a covered corridor, he saw Lu Beichuan approaching him.

Butler Lu straightened up. Before he could say anything, Lu Beichuan supported him.

“Young Master, you…”

Lu Beichuan bent to support him. “I’ll help you to your room.”

Lu Beichuan had an unyielding expression. Butler Lu wanted to refuse, but the hands supporting him were extremely strong.

Butler Lu silently sighed. “Thank you, Young Master.”

“You’ve taken care of me since I was young. It’s only right that I take care of you now.”

“It can’t be reasoned like that. When I took care of you, I was doing my duty. For you to take care of me, it’s not appropriate.”

Lu Beichuan’s attitude was humble. “You’re one generation above me. It’s only right for a junior to take care of an elder.”
