Chapter 94: Lu Li’s Woman Comes Knocking?
“Good job, you Lu scamp, playing tricks on me, huh!” Cao’s grandfather, unable to contain his laughter, pointed at Lu Li after a brief moment of worry.
He had thought there was a problem with the treatment!
“Lu Li~~” Cao Yingying playfully scolded Lu Li with a roll of her eyes.
Her eyes sparkled with joy, delighted to see Lu Li becoming more open and cheerful than ever. It was such a contrast to his previous life, where he had been constantly hurt, leading to a numb existence. Now, he could even joke around.
“Haha, you’re happy, right!” Lu Li laughed heartily, genuinely content. This level of happiness was something he had never experienced in his previous life.
Cao’s grandfather was a kind man. Lu Li was aware that if it hadn’t been for the elder’s tacit approval in his previous life, Cao Yingying might not have been by his side during his final days. The elder’s indulgence towards Yingying and his kindness towards Lu Li made him a respectable figure, worthy of admiration by both Lu Li and Cao Yingying.
“You little Lu fellow!” Cao’s grandfather, still chuckling, pointed at Lu Li once more.
After a moment of playful banter, Cao’s grandfather couldn’t hide his joy.
“Little Lu lad, you once said you’re a businessman. So, tell me, what do you want this old man to do for you? As long as it’s within my power, I won’t refuse.”
Cao’s grandfather suddenly got serious: “I heard you’re planning to head to Modu. Do you need me to help you make some connections?”
“Grandfather~~” Cao Yingying frowned, puffing up her cheeks in disapproval.
Lu Li smiled warmly, squeezing Cao Yingying’s hand: “Grandfather, you’re being too formal. You’ve already given me the most precious thing. How could I ask for more?”
Cao Yingying, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment at holding hands in front of her grandfather, tried to pull away, but Lu Li’s grip was firm. She playfully glared at him, her heart swelling with sweetness.
“Ah, my Yingying being in love with you doesn’t count as something I’m giving to you. I haven’t stooped so low as to trade my granddaughter for my legs,” Cao’s grandfather declared with authority.
Lu Li had proclaimed himself a businessman, and the treatment was indeed a form of ‘business.’ However, his granddaughter would never be part of any deal. That was a line that couldn’t be crossed!
“Little Lu lad, now that you and Yingying are together, the future of the Cao family will stand behind you. But let’s first settle our ‘business.'”
It might have sounded unnecessary, as Cao’s grandfather’s words implied future support, effectively dissolving the so-called ‘business’ into thin air.
Although Lu Li was somewhat of a playboy, his granddaughter liked him. Aside from his philandering, Lu Li had no other faults and possessed capability. Most importantly, his granddaughter had accepted his philandering.
Her happiness was paramount.
“Take good care of Yingying in the future. Don’t let her suffer.”
Of course, as a grandfather, he still had to advocate for his granddaughter’s interests.
“Grandfather, rest assured, I couldn’t bear to.” Lu Li looked at Cao Yingying tenderly. How could he bear to see her suffer?
“How dare you, you rascal, you sure have a way with words. That’s how you charmed away my Yingying!” Cao’s grandfather huffed, his tone becoming unfriendly.
“Cough, grandfather... it was me who pursued Lu Li.” Cao Yingying raised her hand, her cheeks blushing, softly speaking.
“That’s because this rascal bewitched you.” Cao’s grandfather stiffened, stubbornly insisting.

At the Lu family estate, Chen Ya arrived overnight, eager to see Lu Li, the man she had been longing for. Her arrival, even knowing it wasn’t polite, stemmed from her desire to see the man she loved.
Things had changed significantly, perhaps due to the butterfly effect of her rebirth. Lu Li wasn’t struck down by Ye Chen and had given up on that wench Zhang Ziqin. Although there was now Chen Xiaoyi, Chen Ya still had confidence in herself.
“Hello, madam, may I ask who you are looking for?” The security guard diligently performed his duties.
“I’m looking for Lu Li,” Chen Ya said, her nervousness mounting.
In her previous life, she had visited the Lu family estate, but Lu Li was no longer there, except for Lu Ya, the wretch.
“I’m sorry, the young master has not yet returned. Please allow me to inform them.”
“Go ahead, tell your young master his woman has come for him.” Her mature charm radiated from her elegant cheongsam, the perfect backdrop for her mature beauty.
The security guard was stunned. Did this lady just say she’s the young master’s woman? Could this be one of the young master’s romantic entanglements coming to call?
With two Mrs. Lus inside, was this the start of a domestic inferno?
For a moment, the security guard didn’t know whether to inform them or not.
