Chapter 451: Everyone Has Their Limits

Lu Jingzhi looked into Jiang Yuning’s eyes. He could tell that she was feeling very exhausted and her eyes were all red and bloodshot at this time. She must be extremely exhausted after travelling so much.

“You look so tired, let’s talk tomorrow.”

“I don’t want to shower…” Jiang Yuning replied in a coquettish manner as Lu Jingzhi hugged her tightly in his arms.

Lu Jingzhi did not say anything but he simply carried her in his arm before bringing her to the bathroom directly. At this time, Lu Jingzhi helped Jiang Yuning shower and when he finally brought her out of the bathroom, Jiang Yuning was already fast asleep.

Instead of jumping into bed with her, Lu Jingzhi brought her luggage into the guest room before he helped her to unpack her luggage. This was when he suddenly saw the small little box that was inside her luggage. Lu Jingzhi had a soft and gentle expression on his face as soon as he saw the little box.

This was because he knew that Jiang Yuning must have definitely prepared this gift for him.

He did not open the box but he simply placed it on the little descendant’s dressing table.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuning was still sleeping soundly until she was awakened by the sound of someone knocking at her bedroom door. Jiang Yuning woke up from her sleep in shock as she was afraid that someone would find out that she was sleeping in Lu Jingzhi’s bedroom. However, Jiang Yuning was relieved when she glanced around the room and realized that she was in her own bedroom at this time.

“Yuning, are you awake?”

Jiang Yuning could hear Chen Jingshu’s voice from the other side of the door.

Jiang Yuning sorted out her pajamas before she got up to open the bedroom door. “Sister Jingshu, what is wrong?”

“Change out of your sleeping clothes quickly before coming downstairs with me. Third Uncle is not quite happy because Jingqi was feeling unwell last night,” Chen Jingshu explained to Jiang Yuning. “You should already know that Jingqi is very precious and important to Third Uncle. After Jingqi came back from receiving treatment at Grandpa Tan’s courtyard, he was already very restless. Moreover, he started vomiting and he had very bad diarrhea last night. I think that Third Uncle Lu might blame Jingqi’s condition on the Chinese medicine and treatment, but don’t worry. Second Brother has already given me instructions and I will not let you suffer any grievances for no reason.”

Jiang Yuning understood the situation immediately as soon as she heard Chen Jingshu’s explanation. She quickly washed up before following Chen Jingshu downstairs.

Third Uncle Lu’s face had a weird and distant expression on his face when he looked at Jiang Yuning but he did not mistreat her or spoke to her impolitely at all. However, he did not hold back as he said, “Yuning…Jingqi felt sick as soon as he came back from Grandpa Tan’s courtyard. Therefore, let’s just forget about the Chinese medicine and treatment. I would rather Jingqi be the way he is instead of putting him through so much pain and suffering.”

Jiang Yuning understood what Third Uncle Lu meant but she did not want to give up on him so easily. Therefore, she said, “Third Uncle Lu, we have not found out the exact reason Jingqi was feeling unwell yesterday. If we find out that he was really unwell due to Grandpa Tan’s treatment and the Chinese medication that he had prescribed Jingqi, then I would not have the face to mention or bring this matter up again. However, we should not give up without finding out the true cause because wouldn’t it be a pity for us to give up when the treatment is really effective?”

“There is no scientific evidence to prove that Chinese medication works in healing any illnesses anyway. So, where can we find proof to verify this matter?” Third Uncle Lu replied in an anxious manner. “This time, Jingqi is just vomiting and having bad diarrhea, but what are we going to do if he feels more unwell the next time?”

“Could you please let me have a look at Jingqi before deciding that you want to stop the treatment immediately?” Jiang Yuning asked. She did not want to add fuel to the flames but she wanted to find out the cause of the problem.

“Yuning, I know that you are very anxious to find a cure for Jingqi but…Grandpa already likes you even if you do not help Jingqi recover. So, you don’t have to…”

“Third Uncle! I think your words are a little too much,” Chen Jingshu interrupted Third Uncle Lu before he could finish his sentence. “Yuning is not that kind of person…”

“I am sorry. I must have gone a little overboard,” Third Uncle wiped his face as he apologized to Jiang Yuning.

“Third Uncle, please let me take a look at Jingqi.”

“No, it’s okay. The family doctor has already seen him. He just instructed us not to feed Jingqi the wrong food anymore. You don’t have to worry about Jingqi.”

The meaning behind Third Uncle Lu’s words was very clear to Jiang Yuning. He meant that he would not allow Lu Jingqi to take any more Chinese medicine or to continue his treatment under Grandpa Tan.

Chen Jingshu wanted to continue justifying the situation but Jiang Yuning stopped her as she shook her head.

The three of them continued eating breakfast even though it was extremely awkward for them at this time. After breakfast, Jiang Yuning went into her room and started packing her luggage.

At this time, Chen Jingshu came into her room as she looked at her helplessly. “Yuning, don’t be angry at Third Uncle…”

“Sister Jingshu, do you really think that I am such a petty person? It’s just that Jingqi does not require any more treatment, so there is no need for me to continue staying at the Lu family mansion. Since the paparazzi and media are keeping such a close tab on me nowadays, it would naturally be better for me to go home instead of remaining at the Lu family mansion. Moreover, I have a very packed schedule and I will be filming abroad for the rest of the month. It would be more convenient for me if I moved back to Royal Dragon Villa,” Jiang Yuning quickly explained.

“Yuning…”

Jiang Yuning smiled at Chen JIngshu before she reported everything that had happened to Second Brother. After that, Vera came to the Lu family mansion to drive her back to Royal Dragon Villa.

“I really have to scold you this time. You have made yourself so tired and exhausted just to rush back to Luo City, but look what happened in the end? You were trampled on even though all you had were good intentions,” Vera was very frustrated as she spoke to Jiang Yuning.

“Well, everyone has their limits, I guess. I can understand that,” Jiang Yuning replied as she smiled.

“I guess this is for the best. You brother has already called me several times. Recently, the paparazzi have captured you coming in and out of the Lu family mansion quite a few times. Even though no one has the guts to post or start any rumors about the Lu family, your brother would prefer it if this matter does not get blown out of proportions. If your brother finds out that you have been wronged by the Lu family, he would definitely try and seek justice for you immediately!”

“However, I am certain that Second Young Master Lu will definitely deal with this matter. Let’s see what he says then.”

Jiang Yuning did not reply. After returning to the villa, Jiang Yuning changed into comfortable satin pajamas before she went to sleep immediately.

She was pretty relaxed and she did not have any hard feelings towards Third Uncle Lu because she knew that she should not compete with her own family.

She had already been working for one and a half days without any rest and she had also been on a plane for at least forty-six hours because of her work. Therefore, she was very happy that she could finally rest well.

Vera knew that Jiang Yuning was already very exhausted after working hard under the cold and chilly conditions in Iceland. After making sure that Jiang Yuning was asleep, Vera left Royal Dragon Villa immediately.

As for the Lu family, Vera did not know whether she should mention anything to Second Young Master Lu.

After thinking about it, she sent a text message to Secretary Ho.

“Secretary Ho, I need you to pass a message to Second Young Master Lu.”

Jiang Yuning slept all the way until evening and when she finally woke up, she realized that the lights in the villa had been switched on but her man was not home yet.

At this time, Sister Liang was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Jiang Yuning touched her stomach because she realized that she was hungry and her stomach started growling when she smelled the delicious food aroma.

“Young Mistress, you are awake? Come and have dinner. Young Master is attending a meeting and he will come back slightly later today.”

Meeting?

Jiang Yuning smiled but she did not say anything.

She knew that Lu Jingzhi was probably at the Lu family mansion right now.

However, Jiang Yuning did not want to care too much anymore. She was feeling a little more rested and she wanted to spend some time reciting her drama script later.

The sun was setting at half past six in the evening.

Lu Jingzhi’s car turned into the Lu family mansion at this time.

Secretary Ho looked at the rearview mirror and he could see the serious expression that the principal had on his face.

When Vera sent him the text message earlier in the morning, he passed the message to the principal immediately. However, after reading the message, the principal had been frowning the entire day.

Lu Jingzhi could not stop the netizens or public from misunderstanding his little descendant but he would never allow any of the Lu family member to wrong her!

“Second Young Master, have you had your dinner yet?” the butler greeted Lu Jingzhi as soon as he saw him stepping out of the car. However, Lu Jingzhi ignored him before heading into the Lu family mansion in a hurry.
