As the curtain of night gradually descended, lights were turned on in Lu family ’s villa, and the servants busily continued their work.
Ji Qingqing knew that they were busy with Lu Lixing ’s funeral preparations.
Perhaps, in only a matter of days, she would become Lu Lixing ’s widow.
Dressed in black mourning clothes and holding small white flowers along with a black-and-white photo of Lu Lixing, she would act out a lifetime role of grieving widow.

She wasn ’t planning on doing anything that would inconvenience the Lu household.
After resting for a bit in the guest room that Aunty Pei had arranged for her, she decided to go look for Elder Lu.

Elder Lu had lost his son in his middle age, and now he was going to lose his grandson in his old age.
In the future, this giant villa would have one less person.
Who knows how desolate it would become? Seeing Elder Lu made her think of her own grandfather and how she had wanted a good relationship with him.
She didn ’t want to see such a kind and caring old man fall into depression.

”Young Madam, Elder Lu invites you to dinner. ”

Right after she left her room, a servant came to invite her to the dining room.
Elder Lu was already sitting in the head seat.
He was dispirited and had no appetite.
Seeing Ji Qingqing, he kindly gesture for her to sit down to eat.

Aunty Pei pulled out the chair on the right sight of Old Master Lu for her to sit in.
The food on the table were light dishes meant to whet one ’s appetite.

”Qingqing ah, just treat this place like its your own home.
Eat whatever you like.
We only got back recently, so I didn ’t have time to tell you that we usually eat light foods.
If this doesn ’t suit your tastes, just talk to Aunty Pei.
She can cook something else for you. ”

Ji Qingqing hastily said, ”No need for the extra trouble.
Grandfather, I ’m not a picky eater. ”

Old Master Lu nodded.

Aunty Pei ladled out a bowl of soup for him.
”Elder Lu, Second Young Master is finally back.
How about… ”

Old Master Lu ’s mood worsened.
He only took a few sips of the soup before stopping.
”Don ’t mention that bastard! He moved out and didn ’t bother contacting his family members for several years.
Now that his older brother is almost…
It ’s only now that he ’s finally come back! He might as well just wait until this old sack of bones is dead and then come back! ”

”Elder Lu, don ’t be angry.
Second Young Master is just slightly too stubborn… ”

”Stay out of this, ” he told Aunty Pei.
Then, Elder Lu stood up and said to Ji Qingqing, ”Qingqing, take your time eating.
I ’m going to see that bastard! ”

After saying this, he went upstairs to the study.

Aunty Pei watched as Elder Lu walked away.
Her face looked anxious.

”Aunty Pei, what ’s wrong? ”

Aunty Pei look towards the study ’s.
Her face showed her worry.
”Second Young Master just came back and Elder Lu told him to meet him in the study.
I ’m afraid that Second Young Master is in for a beating. ”

Second Young Master was Lu Lixing ’s younger brother, and the novel ’s male lead, Lu Liting.
Their parents had died while they were young.
It was inevitable that Elder Lu would miss a few things in raising two boys by himself.

Lu Lixing had grown up to be a stable man while Lu Liting remained unreasonably rebellious.
These two brothers had sharply contrasting personalities.
Elder Lu was more satisfied with his elder grandson, Lu Lixing.
He was a mature, steady person that would be suitable in taking over the Lu family ’s business.

Lu Liting had been unhappy with his grandfather ’s unequal treatment, so he left home.
He wanted to make a future for himself with his own merits.

In the novel, after Lu Liting left home, he met Ji Qingqing.
At that time, his first venture had failed, and he was experiencing for the first time the hardships of starting a business.
At the moment when he was feeling lost and doubting himself Ji Qingqing appeared in his life like a beam of light that dispelled the shadows in his heart.

Unfortunately, Ji Qingqing was a money grubber.
A wealthy second-generation heir appeared and pursued Ji Qingqing because of her beauty.
Without a word of explanation, Ji Qingqing broke up with the poor Lu Liting.

The breakup was a heavy blow to Lu Liting.
Afterwards, his personality greatly changed.
It was as if he was a completely different person.
Ji Qingqing became the person that he hated the most.
He never got over her.
