Chapter 394: Chapter 393: I am Lu Zheng’s Grandmother

Jiang Mingqing was in her office looking through teaching materials when she suddenly heard a knocking sound at the door. This was a general office, and the door was usually left open during the day.

Curiously, she looked towards the doorway and saw a young and beautiful girl with a high ponytail and a long red dress, smiling serenely at her.

Jiang Mingqing recognized her, and stood up in disbelief, exclaiming, "Lu Qing! My goodness! Is that really you?"

She could never have imagined this person appearing in front of her!

Lu Qing walked in with a beaming smile, playfully winking at her, "Jiang Mingqing! You’re excited to see me, aren’t you?"

"So excited! How did you come here?" Jiang Mingqing stepped forward and took her by the arm. They had been quite close during their school days, despite some occasional minor jealousy and competition.

"I came here with my grandma to take care of some things! And I thought I’d drop by to see you!" Lu Qing explained vaguely. She always kept a low profile about her family and didn’t mention them to outsiders.

She looked Jiang Mingqing up and down, "How have you been? You look good!"

"Not bad! Please, take a seat!" Jiang Mingqing pulled over a chair for her to sit.

"Thank you!" Lu Qing sat down gracefully.

Jiang Mingqing raised an eyebrow and asked, "You just walked in? Didn’t our office guard stop you?"

"No!" Lu Qing shook her head and joked, "Maybe the old guard thought, with my beautiful appearance and scholarly vibe, that I was a new teacher!"

Jiang Mingqing pointed at her and laughed, "You! You haven’t changed at all!"

Lu Qing had always been lively in school and enjoyed making jokes.

"But you’ve changed a lot!" Lu Qing stroked her chin, "Jiang Mingqing, you seem more mature!"

The Jiang Mingqing in front of her, compared to the one before graduation, seemed much more composed and there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes, adding to her naturally delicate beauty, making her more pitiful.

Jiang Mingqing spread her hands, "As a teacher, I naturally have to be more mature! I can’t always act like a young girl!"

Moreover, working was naturally different from being a student at school.

And her unrequited love had also changed her a lot in a short period of time.

"That’s true!" Lu Qing nodded in agreement, "I could never be a teacher because I haven’t grown up myself!"

The two chatted merrily. Jiang Mingqing checked the time, "Lu Qing! Since you’re here, let me treat you to something tasty! You don’t have to be with your grandma later, do you?"

"No, but I need to accompany my grandma to meet someone this afternoon!" Lu Qing had come out after Fang Youlan said she would take a good rest and then meet Lin Xia after lunch.

"I see! We have time then! Let’s go to my second brother’s restaurant now. His chef has recently developed some new dishes! They taste pretty good!"

Jiang Mingqing wanted to show off her brother’s restaurant to Lu Qing, but she also genuinely wanted to treat her old classmate to a good meal.

Now in Spring City, her brother’s restaurant was one of the bigger and more reputable ones.

Lu Qing exclaimed, "Wow! Your brother owns a restaurant now? I remember back then he would buy you fake collars from Shanghai! He bought you more than my aunt bought me!"

At that time, she was shocked and also envious that Jiang Mingqing had such a doting brother.

Jiang Mingqing couldn’t hold back her laughter, a touch of pride flickering in her eyes, "You still remember that!

My brother, going to Shanghai and all, I just asked him to buy me a few fake collars!

He bought so many! I could have sold them to others!"

The real insiders’ story wasn’t important anymore, as that incident had made her the envy of her classmates for a long time.

"Right! How could I forget!" Lu Qing was very curious about Jiang Mingqing’s brother. In her talks, her brother seemed capable of martial arts, earning money, looking handsome, pretty much good at everything.

She had once thought, but she didn’t know who was superior or inferior between her and her older brother, Lu Zheng.

Jiang Mingqing had asked the school’s leadership for leave, and afterward, came out of the school hand in hand with Lu Qing, laughing and talking. They then went to Jiang Mingyuan’s store together.

After Lu Qing left, Fang Youlan took a good moment to tidy herself up, adorned herself with expensive jewelry on her neck and wrists, and changed into a classy and elegant outfit.

She found Lin Xia’s home based on the address provided by Shao Meirou.

Lin Qiu’s clothing store was open, but Lin Xia wasn’t in the store at the time.

Lin Qiu was slightly wary of the old lady who had been sizing up everything since she entered the door; such attire and bearing did not seem to belong to an ordinary old lady.

Having had the experience of Lu Zheng’s mother’s previous visit, Lin Qiu was particularly careful with quite special people from now on.

"Old lady! What kind of clothes would you like to make?" she subconsciously used a respectful tone.

Fang Youlan scanned around and her eyes flashed with disdain; no wonder Shao Meirou was very angry after her visit.

What is this! This is also called a store?

She really couldn’t understand what her eldest grandson was thinking! Apart from being pretty, Lin Xia had no redeeming qualities!

"Is Lin Xia at home?" Fang Youlan asked directly, without any intent to probe.

"You are looking for my sister! She will be back soon! May I ask who you are?" Lin Qiu already had a guess in her mind.

Fang Youlan slightly raised her chin and arched her eyebrows, coldly introducing herself, "I am Lu Zheng’s grandmother!"

"Ah! Lu Zheng’s grandmother! Hello, hello! Please, have a seat!" Lin Qiu’s face beamed with a smile as she hurried to get a stool for the old lady.

Fang Youlan sat down indifferently, observing the girl who appeared nervous and fidgety in front of her, "What is Lin Xia to you?"

"I am her younger sister!" Lin Qiu quickly responded.

She felt inexplicably suffocated facing this formidable old lady, as if she didn’t dare to breathe too heavily.

"Is your brother going to school?" Fang Youlan asked.

"Yes! He’s in his second year of high school!" Lin Qiu replied softly.

"Oh! You go about your work! I’ll wait for Lin Xia!" Fang Youlan also knew that this girl was not Lin Xia, so there was no need to make her uncomfortable.

"Okay!"

But Lin Qiu wasn’t in the mood to work; instead, she thought for a moment, took a new cup from beside the bench, and poured a cup of water from a hot water kettle.

"Here’s some water for you!"

"Okay! Thank you!" Fang Youlan took it and placed it to the side.

Lin Qiu, knowing she was not good with words and very worried that she might say something wrong that could displease the old lady,

forced herself to calm down and continue working.

However, the normally simple task of hemming pants turned complicated, and she accidentally pricked her fingers several times.

Fang Youlan waited silently for Lin Xia, considering whether the girl would be easy to persuade or not.

But whether Lin Xia was easy to persuade or not, she was determined to use both soft and hard tactics; she absolutely could not let such a person enter the Lu Family’s doorway!

If negotiations failed in the end, she would craft a scheme to make both Lu Zheng and her eldest son despise her!
