Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 1479 - 1472: Strolling in the Park Together

Two hours later, Lu Tianxing finally walked out of Qingjiang Garden, looking at the sunset and layers of flaming clouds, he let out a long breath. This woman, when she goes crazy, she’s just a rogue.

Just thinking about Rose’s crazy appearance earlier made Lu Tianxing involuntarily shiver. Fortunately, he is a martial artist, and with the profound cultivation technique he practices, the Creation True Qi continuously strengthens his body, giving him a physique different from ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have probably had to crawl out of Qingjiang Garden today.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing suppressed his thoughts, took out his phone, and sent a message to Po Jun and Tan Lang, asking them to come to Jiangnan to assist Rose. Only then did he walk out of Qingjiang Garden, stand on the road, and finally manage to hail a passing taxi to head directly to the Lu Family.

At this moment, in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard of the Lu Family, Old Sir Lu was sitting in the pavilion with a bright smile, chatting and laughing with Bai Zhiqing. His aged face beaming with a radiant smile showed no signs of pretension.

"Grandpa, now that you’re in good health and nothing else is going on, why don’t you come with us to Modu in a couple of days? You can relax a bit. My granddad has been mentioning you a lot lately, saying he wants to compete with you on the chessboard and show you a thing or two."

Bai Zhiqing, with a gentle and charming smile, sat beside Old Sir Lu, accompanying him. She knew she might not be the ideal granddaughter-in-law, but she wanted to strive to be one.

"Hmph, your granddad is just blowing hot air. With his lousy chess skills, he wouldn’t be my opponent even after a hundred years of practice. Crushing him would be as easy as pie."

Old Sir Lu scoffed and looked at Bai Zhiqing with a wide grin, "Visiting Modu is fine, but not right now. I still need to oversee the Lu Family to prevent any troublemakers. But after some time, once things in Jiangnan stabilize, I’ll come to Modu and show your granddad what a real chess master looks like."

"Grandpa, are you serious? You’re not lying to me?" Bai Zhiqing looked at Old Sir Lu suspiciously.

"Grandpa would never lie to you."

"Really? Grandpa, you have a history of this. Last time you tricked me the same way, and we both know how that turned out, don’t we?"

"Uh!"

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Old Sir Lu’s face turned awkward, and he chuckled, "Zhiqing, it was unavoidable last time. This time I assure you, once Jiangnan’s situation stabilizes, I’ll definitely come to Modu to see you, okay?"

Hearing Old Sir Lu’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s face immediately lit up with joy. "Grandpa, you said it. If you’re lying, watch out, I’ll pluck all your beard off."

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing even mimicked a beard-plucking gesture at Old Sir Lu like a little girl.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s antics, Old Sir Lu burst into laughter, feeling as if his heart had never been lighter. He was old now and had no greater pursuits; the most he cherished was having his family around him, enjoying the happiness of family life.

In the Lu Family, he rarely felt this familial happiness, but with Bai Zhiqing, Old Sir Lu truly felt like an elder, an elder who needed the care of his children, not a high and mighty Head of the Lu Family or a revered strongman, this was the life he wanted, free from the conflicts of interests and power, only kinship.

Just as Bai Zhiqing and Old Sir Lu were enjoying their conversation, Lu Tianxing also returned to the Lu Family by taxi. With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he looked disheveled, not at all like the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, and he casually greeted the Lu Family Guards at the entrance before swaggering towards the Bamboo Forest Courtyard at the back of the Lu Family Mansion.

Lu Tianxing walked straight to the Bamboo Forest Courtyard without any hindrance, and those from the Lu Family who saw his back as he walked towards the courtyard showed a complex look in their eyes, full of envy of how favored he was by Old Sir Lu.

It’s known that ever since Lu Hongda led a group of Lu Family members in betrayal, after Old Sir Lu moved to the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, he issued an order prohibiting Lu Family members from disturbing him in the courtyard unless necessary. Even Lu Haoyue wasn’t allowed in without permission, yet now Lu Tianxing could boldly walk into the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, showing how highly esteemed he was by Old Sir Lu. If the position of Head of the Lu Family hadn’t already been given to Lu Haoyue, they might believe Old Sir Lu would unabashedly pass the role to Lu Tianxing.

Though envious, none of the Lu Family members dared to mock or obstruct Lu Tianxing. The scene of Lu Tianxing singlehandedly killing Liu Ang was still fresh in their minds. They did not believe Lu Tianxing would turn a blind eye to such taunts as Lu Haoyue might. If Lu Tianxing chose to retaliate, even if they reported it to Old Sir Lu, they would likely gain nothing. Only a fool would provoke him at this time.

Ignoring the reactions from the surrounding Lu Family members, Lu Tianxing took a leisurely stroll towards the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, with a cigarette clamped in his mouth.

At this moment, in the Bamboo Forest Courtyard, Old Master Lu and Bai Zhiqing had already walked out from the bamboo grove.

"Grandpa, why aren’t you playing chess anymore? Could it be that Zhiqing beat you so badly that you couldn’t stand it and decided not to play?" Lu Tianxing walked into the courtyard from outside, saw the scene, and immediately chuckled.

"Get out of here! Do you think an old man like me would be defeated in chess? What a joke! If Zhiqing weren’t there to advise you, I could crush you with my eyes closed," Old Master Lu grumbled, full of displeasure, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words.

Upon hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression turned awkward; this old man was getting more and more combative.

"By the way, Zhiqing, where are you and Grandpa planning to go?" Lu Tianxing directed his gaze at Bai Zhiqing, curiously asking.

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s voice, Bai Zhiqing slowly spoke, "Grandpa said he hasn’t gone out for a stroll in a long time. I noticed there’s a park not far away, so I plan to take Grandpa for a walk. Do you want to join us?"

"He doesn’t need to come; just looking at him annoys me. Zhiqing, you accompany me for a stroll, and later, when we return in the evening, I’ll have the chef make something delicious for you." Before Lu Tianxing could speak, Old Master Lu disdainfully glanced at him and said.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxing felt utterly depressed, as if Bai Zhiqing was truly Old Master Lu’s granddaughter, and he was merely the son-in-law, receiving completely different treatment. He wanted to taste the delicious food too.

Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but giggle at Lu Tianxing’s dejected look.

"Grandpa, you’re being so discriminatory. After all, I’m your biological grandson, aren’t I? You can’t treat me so differently!" Lu Tianxing said with a grimace, looking at Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Tianxing with annoyance and said, "You have the nerve to mention that? Today, you said you’d accompany Zhiqing to spend time with me, but what did you do? You were here for less than two or three minutes and left, while Zhiqing accompanied me for hours. If it weren’t impossible to replace my biological grandson, I’d rather switch you out for Zhiqing as my granddaughter. Go wherever you find comfortable."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but flash an awkward smile. If he could switch, he wondered if he’d be able to swap for a different grandpa—this one must be fake.

"Grandpa, stop teasing Tianxing. Let him come with us," Bai Zhiqing softly said to Old Master Lu.

"Alright then! Let him come with us. Let’s go, Zhiqing, take me for a stroll."

Old Master Lu glanced at Lu Tianxing and, without saying much else, directly walked outside.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing an apologetic smile, then followed closely behind Old Master Lu, heading out.

Lu Tianxing smiled wryly, not feeling much anger at Old Master Lu’s attitude. He knew well, despite Old Master Lu’s blunt words, there was a hint of concern in his eyes, clearly worried about any dangers he might face outside. After all, although Jiangnan had been settled, there was always the risk of reckless individuals.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for himself, took a deep drag, and followed Bai Zhiqing and Old Master Lu outside.

The park Bai Zhiqing mentioned is located not far from the Lu Family Mansion, at a nearby Street Heart Park, so Bai Zhiqing and Old Master Lu didn’t drive there, but leisurely walked, appreciating the scenery along the way as they headed towards the park.

The location of the Lu Family Mansion is excellent, surrounded by scenic beauty, as is the Street Heart Park, nestled against the mountains and waters, brimming with green, even in autumn. Numerous trees provide shade for walkers.

As the sun set, fiery sunlight cast upon the land, giving the Street Heart Park a unique landscape. Due to the many residential areas around the park, there were quite a few elderly people or couples strolling and enjoying the park’s beauty.

Upon entering the park gates, one is greeted by a large artificial lake. At the lake’s center, a musical fountain rhythmically rises and falls under the lights’ illumination, captivating the eyes. Some idle elderly folks gather friends in corners to dance to square dances, bringing a relaxed and lively atmosphere to the park, making one’s mood inevitably relax.
