Chapter 406: ...I understand.
Lu Wencheng freezes. He slowly backs away from Xie Meixiang, not wanting to feel her wrath again.
"The moment that girl had another man in her life, you should have stopped it! But no, you just had to keep it going because of some stupid agreement!" Xie Meixiang heard about everything on Liu Fei Fei.
Why should her grandson suffer because of some girl?
"But Dingxiang had-"
"Don't you dare say that Dingxiang stopped it! He stopped nothing! Did Wu Guoliang not tell you about how the child still goes after that brat even after Dingxiang had threatened her?" Liu Fei Fei didn't care about what Liu Dingxiang had said and continued to stay with Long Shen.
"Our Xiao Chen never had a chance with her from the start. We should have stopped it the moment we saw it. " Feelings like that would be impossible to break.
STAB!
Even though Lu Chen wasn't supposed to be in this rant, hearing how his grandma said he had no chance, it stabbed him in the heart.
Xie Meixiang looks back at Lu Chen, "Xiao Chen, I'm all for it in breaking this stupid engagement. However, there is something I want you to do."
"Hmm? What do you need me to do, grandma?"
"I want you to be the one to tell Liu Fei Fei about this." Yes, it was Lu Wencheng and Liu Fei Fei's grandfather's idea on this engagement. But the one who kept this hope in Lu Wencheng and Liu Fei Fei's grandfather was Lu Chen.
Since he was the one who kept it up, he should be the one to end it.
"I understand." Lu Chen knows it as well.
Xie Meixiang claps her hands together, "Alright. Since we got this out of the way, let's eat the snacks I brought!" As she said this, Elder Wu placed the bags she brought in France.
Lu Chen and Lu Wencheng don't know what to say. The way Xie Meixiang changed the topic is too absurd and quick. But she doesn't care and continues,
"Xiao Chen. I heard you'll be the one to give a speech at your graduation. Grandpa and I will go there to watch as well!"
"It's ok, grandma. You don't need to come."
"Nonsense! How can I not go to my grandson's graduation?! We'll be going there to support you!"
"..." Lu Chen doesn't know what to say. It's just one speech. It's not like I'm going to end the world.
Xie Meixiang wasn't the only person who insisted on going. Zhang Wenling and Lu Xiaotong kept saying they would go as well.
As the sun begins to set, Lu Chen leaves the mansion. As he walked out, in his arms was a bunch of bags. All of it was given to him by Lu Wencheng and Xie Meixiang.
They were sad when Lu Chen decided to leave. So they gave him more snacks and also an allowance. Lu Chen doesn't know what to say.
As Lu Chen gets into his car, he calls somebody,
"Hello, young master."
"Do you have all of it ready?" Lu Chen ignores the greet, and his voice is frank with his question.
"Mmhmm, young master. I got all of it ready. Do you need them now?"
"Yes, give it all to me now."
"Understood." Lu Chen doesn't say anything else to the other person on the phone as he closes the call. Then he starts messaging somebody.
What's up, Lu Chen? Why haven't you been texting me these past weeks?
Doing some things. I'll tell you about it later. Right now, I need a favor from you.
How can you ask me for a favor? You gotta pay me something for it. ^w^
French snacks. Does that help??
Wahoo! So what do you need from me?
I want to meet up with Liu Fei Fei alone. Tell her to meet me at the end of our graduation.
The moment Lu Chen typed his response, the only thing that came from the other side was silence. Like she never expected a comment like that.
Luo Ai, I'm serious. No more jokes. It's about our engagement.
...I understand. I'll tell Fei Fei.
Thanks. Lu Chen doesn't say anything else as he closes his phone.
