Xia Jin walked along the road in a daze, when a car suddenly stopped beside him. Old Madam Lu wore a kindly expression. “Good child, don’t be afraid. I’m Lu Suyan’s mother.”
Some indescribable guilt suddenly welled up in Xia Jin’s heart. Countless scenes flashed through his mind, a noble wealthy madam rushing up to him, this little bitch who had successfully climbed into bed, slapping him across the face, then, with another slap, tossing a check at him, and saying in a lofty tone, Stay away from my son.
Yet none of Xia Jin’s thoughts came in handy. By the time he came to his senses, he was already sitting in a million-dollar luxury car, and beside him was Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu also knew that Xia Jin was a little uneasy, so she simply said with a smiling face, “Don’t be afraid. Since Lu Suyan has already taken you… our Lu Family will definitely marry you into the family. As for things like going to jail or court, our Lu Family can’t do that sort of thing.”
Xia Jin looked at Old Madam Lu’s face and was moved so much he was almost about to cry. It really was a turn for the better! From someone who had almost gone to jail, he had suddenly become the Lu Family’s president’s wife. Happiness had come so suddenly. This was simply a golden thigh delivered right to his door!
No wonder the original host had succeeded in climbing into bed. So there was a mother-in-law who was single-mindedly hoping for her own son to get married. “Thank you, Madam.” Xia Jin said with a smile.
Old Madam Lu looked at this daughter-in-law in front of her, whose smile was so clean, and she too could not help liking him from the bottom of her heart. “What Madam? From now on, call me Mom.”
“Mom.” Xia Jin called out with complete ease. Now that he knew it was a transmigration novel, so long as he ignored the male lead’s love interest and his harem from this moment on, he could hug his own big president and be sweet and lovey-dovey together. Sooner or later, he would make President Lu like him. For now, he should call her in advance and coax the old lady into a good mood, so his life later on could be a little easier!
Old Madam Lu grew more and more satisfied the more she looked at this daughter-in-law, and Xia Jin treated Old Madam Lu as a golden thigh and lifesaving straw, putting in all his effort to curry the old lady’s favor. The car was soon filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.
The bodyguards to the side watched these two people, who had not even met for ten minutes, directly address each other as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the melon in their hands almost dropped to the floor in shock. Seriously, have you two gotten the chairman’s permission for this?
The bodyguards only dared complain in their hearts. Looking at Xia Jin in the front seat, their admiration surged like a mighty river, endless and unceasing. Just how bold a person is, just how much bounty the land produces.
Just this unremarkable man who had climbed into bed managed to get into Old Madam Lu’s eyes. Who knew, maybe his status in the future could soar straight up, even higher than their personal bodyguards.
Only, whether he could really fly up or not depended on whether Old Madam Lu’s firepower was stronger, or whether President Lu’s extinguisher was stronger.
The bodyguards lowered their heads and silently escorted the two of them home. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked side by side, warmly and familiarly, and Xia Jin even fawned, saying, “Mom, watch the step.”
“I’ve lived in this house for half my life. How could I forget a step? It’s Xia Jin’s first time here, so he should be the one to watch out for…” Old Madam Lu’s words cut off abruptly. Xia Jin looked at Lu Suyan, who was sitting on the sofa in a suit, and could not help feeling a little scared. Xia Jin subconsciously used Old Madam Lu as a shield.
The moment Lu Suyan’s gaze swept over them, Old Madam Lu, who had been chatting and laughing with Xia Jin a second ago, had red-rimmed eyes, and tears fell patter, patter. Lu Suyan stepped forward. “Mom, why are you crying?”
“The doctor said I’m sick.” As she spoke, Old Madam Lu fumbled in her bag and pulled out a diagnosis certificate.
Lu Suyan looked at the contents on it, then his eyes fell on the diagnosis date, and fury could not help surging in his eyes. “Mom, this diagnosis from two years ago, and you’re only remembering to tell me now?”
The bodyguards wished they could pretend they did not exist. No one else knew, but they were very clear that Old Madam Lu had forged this diagnosis certificate two years ago, and only after struggling over it for two years did she dare take it out to lie. As for these tears of genuine feeling, they were indeed genuine, because the person she was trying to fool had suddenly appeared without warning and scared her.
“Wasn’t it because you were busy? Telling you would have been useless. I can go to the hospital myself. I don’t want anything else now. I just want Xia Jin to stay with me for the rest of my time. Xia Jin is a good child. I’m not forcing you to marry him. If you really don’t like him, then just treat him as a caregiver I hired. As long as you’re happy, Mom will be happy too.” Old Madam Lu said tearfully, her whole body radiating maternal light.
Looking at Chairman Lu, who was visibly moved, the bodyguards all had the feeling that once the truth came out, their dog lives would be over. Oh, Old Madam Lu, please take it easy!
“Mom, rest and recover in peace. Right now I’ll take Xia Jin to get the marriage certificate and register the marriage.” Lu Suyan did not even need to think to know that his mother must have learned about what happened yesterday, which was why she wanted to keep Xia Jin by her side. The old lady had worried for him half her life already. No matter what, he could not let her die without being able to close her eyes in peace.
“Good, good. Xia Jin and Lu Suyan should hurry and go get the certificate. When you come back, Mom will make you something delicious.” Old Madam Lu wiped away her tears, instantly brimming with energy from head to toe.
Lu Suyan pulled Xia Jin out. Looking at the person busying herself in the kitchen, he felt an indescribable bitterness. His mother looked so healthy. How had she ended up with such a disease?
“Don’t worry. Mom’s illness will definitely get better,” Xia Jin said, seeing that Lu Suyan seemed a little downcast.
The proud Chairman Lu gave him a cold sidelong glance. “Is ‘Mom’ something you can just call?”
