1823 Youâre Daydreaming
Fu Yujia naturally didnât dare to do anything to Su Bei anymore. She would disregard Lu Heting and wouldnât dare to have any ideas.
She could only cling to Lu Yaolan, hoping that there would be some peace between the two families in the future.
âAunt Lan, donât worry too much. Weijian just hasnât figured it out yet. When he thinks it through, heâll definitely agree.â
Lu Yaolan said gently, âThank you for accompanying me.â
!!
âAunt Lan, you treat me well, so I should return the favor.â Fu Yujia was still very gentle. âIâll come and accompany you often in the future. Donât worry, donât be sad.â
Lu Weijian didnât appear on set for a few days.
On the weekend, he came listlessly. As soon as he came over, he went to play with the expensive equipment. Someone wanted to stop him, but Camilan told them to leave.
Lu Weijian played for a long time before he heard Camilan say, âDrink something.â
He looked up and saw Camilan holding a cup of fragrant chocolate cocoa. The aroma was strong.
Lu Weijian took it and lay down lazily on the recliner. âDid you specially prepare this for me?â
âYou can think of it that way.â
âDirector Camilan, I have a question to ask you but donât be angry. If you get angry, just pretend I didnât ask.â
âAsk away.â
Lu Weijian sat up straight. âDo you like me?â
Camilan choked on a mouthful of cocoa and coughed. Lu Weijian quickly handed her a tissue. âThen pretend I didnât ask.â
âWhat kind of like are you talking about?â Camilan asked.
âHehehe, I know Iâm handsome, funny, and kind. Iâm an especially good friend. But I havenât settled down yet, soâ¦â
âYou brat!â Camilan knocked him on his head. âIâm in my 50s. You think I like you? Youâre daydreaming, huh?!â
âI told you to pretend that I didnât ask! Why did you knock me?â Lu Weijian covered his head. âI know itâs impossible, but youâre so good to me.
âMy son is about your age. Whatâs wrong with a little motherly love?â
Lu Weijian said, âOh, you have a son? Is he handsome?â
Camilan felt much more depressed. âI donât know if heâll acknowledge me. I was an incompetent mother. After I gave birth to him, I didnât really care about him. By the time I wanted to, heâd grown into a handsome young man with a good personality. He didnât need me anymore.â
She spoke sadly, her entire person shrouded in a layer of sadness. She was completely different from her usual shrewd and capable self.
Lu Weijian reached out and slowly placed his hand on her shoulder. He patted her shoulder twice comfortingly. âIf you have your difficulties, I believe your son can understand, right?â
âItâs hard for him to understand⦠After all, I only cared about giving birth and not raising him. I didnât do my duty.â
Lu Weijian thought for a while and said, âActually, my mother is the same. But I donât blame her much. How should I put it? She has her own life. If she was sure that she couldnât take good care of me and handed me over to a proper person to raise me, I wouldnât feel so bad. She also has the right to pursue her own life. Maybe Iâm an open-minded person. My brother, my mother, and my aunt all treat me sincerely. Actually, I donât have so many regrets. Maybe itâs the same with your child?â
Camilan stared at him blankly for a moment, then lowered her eyes.
After a while, she asked, âThen⦠why are you so unhappy?â
âMy biological mother is back.â
Camilanâs stomach tightened. âYouâre not happy?â
âI donât feel anything. Her return doesnât seem to make much of a difference.â
Camilanâs fingers tightened.
He continued, âBut sheâs forcing me to go on a blind date. Thatâs a big deal! How can she force me to go on a blind date? Canât I choose what kind of girl I like? They all say that I should be like Big Brother. His children are already so grown, and Big Brother and Sister-in-law are still in love with each other. Of course, I know that itâs good to be like Big Brother and Sister-in-law, but both of them chose each other. I also want to choose my future partner myself. Why canât I?â
âSheâs forcing you?â Camilanâs heart tightened.
âShe forced my grandparents to stand on her side. Only my brother and sister-in-law dote on me at home. Yes, my two nephews dote on me too. They know that Iâm unhappy and even play games with me.â Speaking of this, Lu Weijian was much happier.
Camilan laughed at his appearance. He really hadnât grown up yet.
Then, she felt a little sad. âYouâre supposed to go on a blind date today, so youâre hiding in the production team?â
âThatâs right, Director Camilan. To put it bluntly, Iâd rather chat with you every day than go on a date.â
Camilan smiled. âIf I had such a good son like you, Iâd rather he be happy every day and not be tied down by the mundane world and live a free life.â
Lu Weijian laughed and went to fiddle with the filming equipment. He took a big sip of cocoa. âIf only you were my mother.â
Camilanâs heart skipped a beat. Her fingers tightened, but she slowly let go as if she had made a big decision.
Lu Weijian still went on the blind date. He didnât want to make things difficult for his grandparents.
However, he really didnât like President Liâs daughter, so he just wanted to have a meal with her. After politely sending her back, he had no intention of asking her out again.
To put it bluntly, if he really liked this woman, there was no need for his elders to urge him. He would have asked her out on a date long ago.
Initially, he thought that the elders would not say anything after he met up with her.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yaolan wanted to invite her home and even put the engagement on the agenda!
Lu Weijian was furious. âWerenât you the one who said I should just treat it as a meal and make more friends? Even if I canât be friends with her, just a meal will do. How did things turn out like this?!â
âIâm doing this for your own good!â Lu Yaolan said earnestly. âPresident Li and his family are very satisfied with you.â
âI donât agree!â Lu Weijian refused.
âBut she really likes you! Besides, if you miss this opportunity, it wonât be so easy for you to find such a qualified woman in the future!â
Lu Weijian remained silent.
Lu Yaolan sat beside him and advised in a low voice, âWeijian, Iâm doing this for your own good. When you look back in another ten or 20 years, youâll know that your persistence when you were young meant nothing. Happiness and success are the most important. President Liâs daughter is not ugly either. She came back from studying abroad. Sheâs knowledgeable and reasonable. Everything about her is great.â
âIf sheâs so good, why donât you marry her yourself?â
He turned around and ran out.
...
When he was playing games with Huo Zhong, he received a call from Old Master Lu.
âYour mother is sick. Sheâs in the hospital. Come and visit her.â
Lu Weijian pursed his lips, put away his phone, and walked out.
âDo you want me to accompany you?â Huo Zhong asked.
Lu Weijian waved his hand coolly. âMind your own business.â
