Chapter 492: Chapter 474: Considerate

Zhao De’an’s words immediately brought smiles to the faces of the Lu Family, and Zhao Xuan’s cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple.

Lu Aiguo turned his head and saw the smug look on his son’s face, and couldn’t help but laugh and pat his shoulder playfully.

Zhao De’an said to Lu Aiguo and the others, "Back then, I saved a venomous snake, which led to today’s disaster. Now, those people, as well as the traitor within our family, must be dealt with. I absolutely cannot let them off easily."

"Grandpa, but your health hasn’t recovered yet..." Zhao Xuan became anxious upon hearing this, tears swirling in her eyes, "It’s all my fault." If only she hadn’t been so willful at the time, and had properly interned with her grandfather at the company, she wouldn’t be so helpless now.

"Mr. Zhao, I haven’t told you yet. Baili Xiangsong from Baili Group has been taken to the Economic Investigation Bureau for investigation. His company and even his family’s accounts are now frozen.

As for the internal affairs of the Zhao Family, those suspected of colluding with Baili Group have also been controlled. Tomorrow I will have someone give you a detailed report on the details. I happen to have a team at my disposal that might be of use to you. If you don’t mind, you can use them for now. Naturally, how you decide to deal with those people is your final decision. You can make your decisions on how to handle them just as well from the hospital bed while you recover," Lu Aiguo said with a smile.

"Not at all, not at all. Your help is like timely rain. I was just worrying about having no one I could use. I guess those people I used to rely on cannot be trusted anymore. Otherwise, Xuanxuan wouldn’t have ended up in such a helpless situation. It’s really a failure of my judgment," Zhao De’an first rejoiced, but then, thinking that he had been busy all his life and yet ended up with no truly loyal subordinates by his side, he felt somewhat disheartened.

"You can’t entirely blame yourself. After all, looking out for one’s own safety is the subconscious thought of most people," Lu Aiguo said sympathetically.

"That’s right, I don’t need to be sad over those people. If they hadn’t pushed her so hard, Xuanxuan might never have met Jinsheng. I have to say, this must be the arrangement of heaven," Zhao De’an quickly turned from sorrow to joy and laughed heartily.

Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan followed suit in the mirth, and Lu Jinsheng, not wanting to be left out, started sweet-talking to Mr. Zhao. Even Lu Yun and Zhao Xuan couldn’t help but join in the fun.

The atmosphere in the ward immediately became cheerful.

After Zhao De’an had his millet porridge and rested, the other members of the Lu Family left, leaving only Lu Jinsheng and Zhao Xuan behind.

"I’m so lucky to have met you." Thinking of her grandfather’s well-being and the current situation of Baili Group, Zhao Xuan suddenly felt a surge of joy from within, and blurted this out to Lu Jinsheng.

"Didn’t Grandpa say that this was arranged by heaven?" Lu Jinsheng teased, leaning in and whispering, "Heaven’s arrangement isn’t bad at all, Xuanxuan, do you know how beautiful you look when you truly smile?"

"...Can you be serious for once, and consider the situation?" Zhao Xuan blushed, stealing a glance at her grandfather on the hospital bed and uneasily pushing Lu Jinsheng away.

"You should get some sleep; I’ll watch over Grandpa," said Lu Jinsheng with a smile, knowing that some things shouldn’t be rushed, and he pointed to another bed in the ward that was reserved for the patient’s family members to rest on.

"Let’s take turns. Wake me up for the second half of the night." Prompted by Lu Jinsheng, Zhao Xuan yawned and suddenly felt sleepy. She had been in a state of constant tension for the past few days, but now that her grandfather was fine, she began to feel drowsy and could barely keep her eyes open.

"Okay, here’s a set of pajamas my sister has never worn. Go ahead and change into them so you can sleep more comfortably," Lu Jinsheng said as he handed her a set of his sister’s sleepwear and a brand-new set of toiletries, pushing her into the ensuite bathroom of the suite.

He had never planned to wake Zhao Xuan up in the middle of the night to take over; staying up all night was no big deal for him. Instead, Zhao Xuan, who had been living in fear for so many days, was probably just getting into a comfortable sleeping state once she relaxed. However, he didn’t intend to say this because, if he did, Zhao Xuan would surely resist.

Even after stepping into the bathroom, Zhao Xuan was still in shock—it was the second time she had witnessed Lu Jinsheng perform his kind of "magic."

Until she lay down on the soft bed, underneath the covers that smelled of sunshine, immersing into dreamland, Zhao Xuan still felt puzzled; she slept more comfortably than she ever had before.

When Zhao Xuan opened her eyes, she noticed the room was a bit dark with the curtains drawn and couldn’t tell what time it was outside. Checking her phone, the clock hands were on seven, her usual time to wake up.

"You’re awake?" came Zhao De’an’s voice, filled with a smile.

Seeing that only her grandfather and she were in the room, Zhao Xuan asked, "Grandpa, where’s Lu Jinsheng? Why didn’t he wake me up to take over in the middle of the night?"

"You slept like a little pig, even started snoring lightly—who would have the heart to wake you up?"

Zhao De’an burst out laughing, feeling a mix of sorrow and compassion in his heart, knowing his granddaughter must have been exhausted these past few days, "Jinsheng received a notification that there was a problem with the scientific research project he is responsible for, so he had to rush back; he left at five-thirty. I happened to wake up around that time, so there was no need to wake you up.

By the way, the Lu family not only sent someone to take care of me but also arranged a car and driver for you, making it convenient for you to travel between school, hospital, and home. Xuan Xuan, after breakfast, you should still go to school for your classes. Don’t reject their kindness. Grandpa is alright now, you don’t need to keep watch over me."

"Oh, I understand," Zhao Xuan replied with a touch of red in her cheeks. She was thinking about how she came to keep watch over her grandfather only to end up sleeping till daylight, causing Lu Jinsheng to stay up all night and then rush off to the research institute. He probably wouldn’t get any rest during the day either.

With that thought, Zhao Xuan felt a mix of heartache and self-reproach.

She got up, planning to freshen up, and suddenly saw a set of brand-new clothes from inside out laid out at the head of the bed, pausing in surprise.

"That’s what Jinsheng left this morning, saying it was prepared yesterday. The old set was taken to be washed when the Lu family’s maid came to deliver breakfast," Zhao De’an explained with a smile.

"Xuan Xuan, even though we’ve had only a short time of contact, I can tell that Jinsheng is a really good person. Not to mention his kindness and thoughtfulness that are readily apparent. At least he’s much better than that Baili Chengye.

Also, regarding the Lu family, Grandpa approves of you being with Jinsheng not just because of their family background but because Grandpa has always known that the people of the Lu family are of good conduct, and their reputation in the outside world is excellent. Having truly interacted with them, they indeed live up to their reputation. If you could marry into such a family, Grandpa wouldn’t have any more worries."

After Zhao Xuan finished freshening up, Zhao De’an checked the time and urged her to take out the breakfast from the thermal lunch box, and the two of them began to eat while he continued to kindly advise her with a loving face.
