Chapter 69: My Wife Is Healthy

Lu Yunting was talking to a client when a servant approached him and whispered:

“Young Master, the old master wants you to meet him by the lake alone.”

Lu Yunting nodded, exchanged a few more words with the client, and then walked directly towards the lake.

There was a natural lake in the courtyard, surrounded by open, flat land and lush trees, creating a unique charm.

It was said that Lu Jinhai’s father had bought this land specifically for the lake and built the ancestral home on it. Years had passed since then.

When Lu Yunting reached the lake, he saw only Lu Jinhai standing there alone.

He felt a little uneasy, vaguely sensing that the old man must have known something.

As expected, Lu Jinhai saw him and asked directly:

“Why did Susan terminate her contract with Lu Corporation?”

Lu Yunting had already thought of an excuse and answered without changing his expression:

“She wants to create her own brand and thinks that collaborating with Lu Corporation is not profitable.”

“Nonsense!!” Lu Jinhai’s beard trembled with anger.

“If she was dissatisfied with the initial contract terms, why didn’t she mention renegotiating the terms when the contract was renewed last year? She definitely wasn’t doing it for the money!”

Lu Yunting pursed his lips and admitted:

“I’m not sure then.”

“You don’t know?” Lu Jinhai sneered.

“Don’t think that you can fool me just because you’ve grown wings!” Before he could finish, he coughed twice, clutching his chest.

Lu Yunting quickly said: “Grandpa, I’m not fooling you, please don’t get angry!”

Lu Jinhai slapped his hand away. “If you have this kind of filial piety, you better think about how to recover the losses! How much money did the company lose because of this?”

Lu Yunting said a number with a look of embarrassment.

Lu Jinhai took a deep breath and said with disappointment:

“Such a good designer, and you let her slip away like that! No, you have to make an appointment with her for me. I want to talk to her!”

Lu Yunting naturally couldn’t help him make an appointment with Su Yiren. Even if he did, she wouldn’t reveal her identity and meet his grandfather.

He was in a difficult position, afraid of making the old man angry, so he could only agree:

“Okay, I’ll make an appointment for you, but I don’t know if she’ll be available.”

Thinking of how he had tried to invite this designer to dinner many times over the years, but she had always refused to show up, Lu Jinhai felt even more pain in his chest.

“Go back and entertain the guests first. I’ll settle the score with you later!” Lu Jinhai urged impatiently.

Lu Yunting wanted to step forward and support him, but the old man waved him off, adjusted his suit collar, and walked back directly.

Just now, he felt proud and relaxed wearing this suit, but now it felt like he was wearing heavy shackles, making every step difficult.

Strictly speaking, she was just a business partner. If she was gone, they could find a new one.

But Lu Jinhai had been in the business world for so many years, how could he not know the uniqueness of this designer?

She was something that money couldn’t buy!

The more Lu Jinhai thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He decided that he had to see her, no matter what, to see if there was any way to salvage the situation.

However, the “invaluable” designer he was so worried about was currently having tea and chatting with a few ladies, including Sun Xiaoxia who had joined them halfway through.

It was called chatting, but Su Yiren was mostly listening to them, only responding occasionally.

Originally, they were discussing the upcoming autumn collections of several major brands, but the topic was shifted to children by Sun Xiaoxia.

The ladies all congratulated her on becoming a grandmother soon, and Sun Xiaoxia was so happy that she was about to bloom, but she didn’t hold back when she complained about her daughter-in-law:

“Although I’m not very satisfied with that daughter-in-law, she’s from a humble background and doesn’t know how to act properly, but her belly is really amazing! She’s only been married for less than two months, and she’s already pregnant!”

“Mr. Lu must be overjoyed! I see that Old Master Lu is also in high spirits!”

“This is the first great-grandchild of the Lu family! How could he not be happy!”

Sun Xiaoxia smiled even brighter, getting more and more smug,

“Of course! My husband immediately bought a villa for his daughter-in-law and brought her parents to Jiangcheng to live. My old man is even more excited. He sends over supplements every few days, showing his concern!”

Su Yiren didn’t like this second aunt very much, and she didn’t like this kind of topic either. Seeing that everyone’s attention was on her, she decided to leave this small circle.

But just as she stood up, she heard Sun Xiaoxia call her:

“Yiren，where are you going?”

The other ladies all turned to look at her and said:

“Sit down and chat for a while. We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I really miss you.”

“Yes, every time we play cards, we invite you, but you never come. Now that I’ve caught you, you have to chat with me for a while!”

Su Yiren smiled: “Mainly because I don’t know how to play cards, I’m afraid I’ll ruin everyone’s fun.”

“What’s wrong with that,” the lady laughed and joked,

“You don’t know how to play cards, so you won’t lose! Your husband has plenty of money, he won’t mind losing a little to us! We’ll be happy to win!”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Su Yiren chuckled dryly, thinking, I need to ask him for money if I lose? Who cares about his poker face…

Seeing them say this, she felt embarrassed to leave again.

But just as she sat down, Sun Xiaoxia asked with concern:

“You and Yunting have been living outside, I don’t know the situation. You’ve been together for so many years, but there’s still no news?”

Su Yiren pursed her lips, not wanting to discuss this topic.

Seeing that she didn’t want to speak, Sun Xiaoxia deliberately lowered her voice and said bluntly:

“We’re all experienced people here, and we’re close to you, so there’s no need to be embarrassed. If you have any difficulties, tell us, maybe someone has a solution.”

The few ladies looked at each other, thinking that Sun Xiaoxia was asking too directly, but she was family after all, and she was talking about this now, not treating them as outsiders, so they all said:

“Yes, getting pregnant is something you can’t rush, but if you can’t get pregnant for a long time, you should go see a doctor.”

“I happen to know a doctor who specializes in difficult cases. If you need it, I’ll send you his WeChat later.”

“That’s perfect, send it to me too! My aunt’s niece has also been married for many years and couldn’t have children. I’ll ask her for her.”

Su Yiren was speechless, but besides Sun Xiaoxia who had impure motives, she knew the other ladies well, they didn’t have any malice, so it would be bad if she gave them the cold shoulder now.

Just as she was feeling a little embarrassed, a tall figure suddenly blocked the sunlight above her head.

Lu Yunting had arrived at some point, nodded to the ladies, and said in a deep voice:

“My wife is healthy and has no hidden illnesses. We’re just young and don’t want to have children so early. Thank you for your concern.” Then, he bent down and took Su Yiren’s hand, his voice soft,

“Come, I want to talk to you for a moment.”
