Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 338: We Don’t Take Advantage of the Young
Mrs. Lu chuckled from the side, "The calligraphy and paintings from my old friend are priceless. Mianmian, you must take good care of them!"
Xia Mian replied with a smile and sat down on the sofa with Lu Zechuan.
Mrs. Lu’s other old friend Xin Rou also smiled broadly as she took out a delicately packaged box from her bag, "Is the young lady called Mianmian? Mianmian! I’m a simple person and didn’t prepare anything special for you, just a silk scarf!"
Xin Rou said as she handed the exquisite box to Xia Mian.
Mrs. Lu encouraged from the side, "Open it and see."
Xia Mian glanced at Xin Rou and, under her kind gaze, opened the box.
Inside the box was a silk scarf, a newly released style from a certain international luxury brand, limited edition. If you’re not wealthy, with special status, you don’t even qualify to buy it.
The scarf had a simple and elegant design, and the material was also very delicate and comfortable.
Xia Mian liked it a lot, so she lavishly praised it, "Thank you."
Xin Rou smiled warmly, "You’re Xu Yi’s granddaughter-in-law, which makes you our granddaughter-in-law, no need to be polite with us."
As Xin Rou finished speaking, Yu Wenxin impatiently asked, "Xu Yi, I want to ask you, what kind of maintenance do you do? Everyone is getting older, but you seem to be getting younger!"
Yu Wenxin is an artist, with high standards for appearance, usually maintaining her figure through exercise and healthy eating to barely keep her current good shape.
However, Mrs. Lu has been exhausting herself over the development of the Lu Family for years, looking older than her peers just a few years ago.
Now, Mrs. Lu had not only more black hair but also fewer wrinkles on her face!
Mrs. Lu’s expression shifted slightly, she lifted her head to glance at Xia Mian.
These days, she’s been eating one of the fruits that Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan brought for her, and she couldn’t help but notice the changes in her body.
But she feared that speaking out might be detrimental to Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.
Catching Mrs. Lu’s difficult expression, Yu Wenxin sighed, "Forget it, if you don’t want to say, you don’t have to."
Xin Rou, with a teasing tone, said from the side, "Xu Yi, we’ve known each other for so many years. Don’t tell me you’ve been using some kind of sorcery to rejuvenate?"
Although Xin Rou joked about it, Mrs. Lu knew she was genuinely concerned about her.
Afraid she might end up like those ancient emperors, desperately seeking immortality, only to meet an untimely end.
"Actually, Grandmother’s change is because she recently got a kind of fruit," Lu Zechuan said.
Since he and Xia Mian planned to bring their business out into the world, it wasn’t possible to keep it hidden.
Besides, if someone covets what they have, they’re digging their own grave. They’re not afraid.
"Eating some fruit?" Xin Rou was initially shocked, then slightly angry, "Xu Yi, if you didn’t want to tell me, it’s fine, but there’s no need to fob us off with such a childish excuse!"
"If eating fruit could make people young again, I’d eat fruit for every meal!" Xin Rou was genuinely angry; she treated Xu Yi as a friend, hence she asked without any reservation.
She hadn’t expected Xu Yi to treat them like fools.
Mrs. Lu’s face turned slightly red, "My grandson is telling the truth."
To prove her point, Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and said, "I have two of the last fruits in my fridge, I’ll give you a taste, then you’ll know!"
Mrs. Lu instructed Sister-in-law Zhang to go upstairs and fetch the fruit.
Before long, Sister-in-law Zhang came downstairs with a fruit platter.
Xin Rou and Yu Wenxin looked at the fruits on the platter with their mouths agape; they were starting to believe Mrs. Lu was telling the truth.
Because in all their years, they had never seen such unusual fruits!
"I ate these, that’s why my health improved these past few days," Mrs. Lu decided to be frank, with her old friends, there was no need to hide anything.
"These are the last two, go ahead and eat them!" Mrs. Lu spoke with a pained expression.
She didn’t know where Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian got these fruits from or if they could get more later. Just two left... No dinner tonight...
Under Mrs. Lu’s pained gaze, Xin Rou and Yu Wenxin each took a fruit and cautiously bit into them.
As they took a bite, their eyes brightened instantly, and the next moment they were gobbling them up, as if someone might snatch them away.
Seeing them eating so ungracefully, Mrs. Lu frowned disdainfully, "You’re both billionaires, it’s quite undignified!"
Feeling the heartache as if her blood is dripping, the last two were gobbled by these two!
As she agonized, Mrs. Lu subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, tears pathetically trickling down.
"Delicious!" Xin Rou exclaimed after finishing the fruit, pulling out a napkin from the coffee table to wipe her mouth, satisfied, "Now, I believe what you said."
The fruit had only just settled in her stomach, and already her whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
The joint stiffness that had plagued her for years was easing.
Yu Wenxin, after wiping her mouth, leaned back on the sofa, savoring, "It’s really delicious! If I could eat this every day, I’d give up half my wealth."
"Even if it’s delicious, there’s no more!" Mrs. Lu was a bit angry, "The last two, you’ve eaten them all!"
Mrs. Lu, grieving so much her face twitched, resembling a child whose precious toy was taken away.
Lu Zechuan watched his grandmother’s pained expression and couldn’t help but laugh, "Grandmother, if you like, Mianmian and I will bring you more next time."
As soon as Lu Zechuan said this, Xin Rou and Yu Wenxin pricked up their ears, "Ah Chuan, with so many years of friendship, your grandmother’s grandson is our grandson too, you can’t favor one and ignore the others!"
Listening to Xin Rou and Yu Wenxin, Lu Zechuan frowned slightly.
Why did that sound so odd?
What do they mean by, grandmother’s grandson is their grandson? Does that mean he’s just fit to be a grandson?
"Don’t worry, we won’t take your kindness for granted." Xin Rou immediately assured, "Grandma knows these things must be rare and expensive, don’t worry, we’ll buy them from you!"
After Xin Rou’s words, Yu Wenxin quickly echoed, "Yes! We’ll buy from you! Don’t worry, we’re elders, we won’t take advantage of you, our grandson!"
Lu "Grandson" Zechuan’s face immediately darkened, nearly dripping with ink.
If it weren’t for them being old friends of his grandmother, he would probably have already started chasing them out.
