Chapter 219 - He grunted a few times from deep inside his throat, like a little beast awru’ing, (2)

The person in the front seemed anxious and stumbly, “Xiao Zhi, are you hurt?”

There was worry on Old Mr. Ning’s normally solemn look. His cane in his hand, he walked over quickly.

He learned from the butler that his granddaughter was involved in a car accident shortly after he had gone to bed. He almost passed out when he heard the news.

“Grandpa, I’m fine.” Ning Zhi comforted him. “I’m not hurt. Not at all.”

Old Mr. Ning looked his granddaughter up and down and made sure that she wasn’t hurt and was standing in front of him healthily before he was able to feel relieved.

Ning Zhi told Old Mr. Ning, “Grandpa, Lu Shao was hurt. He had protected me with his body during the accident, which was why I wasn’t hurt.”

Old Mr. Ning’s eyes flickered a little. He looked at the young Lu’s boy sitting next to him quietly, with his back straight.

Even when he was studying him this way, sizing him up, Lu Jue still showed no reactions.

“Lu Jue threw his body around me right away,” said Ning Zhi to Old Mr. Ning. “Grandpa, Lu Jue is capable of protecting me.”

She knew that Old Mr. Ning was not a fan of Lu Jue and didn’t like him much. That was a normal reaction. After all, without much interaction, Old Mr. Ning was only judging Lu Jue from the kind of person that he appeared to me.

She wanted Old Mr. Ning to know that yes, Lu Jue was not perfect, but he was still capable of protecting her.

Lu Jue could hear Ning Zhi talking about him from where he was. Pinching his lips shut a little, his low and hoarse voice was both serious and stubborn. He repeated what Ning Zhi had said, “Protect Zhizhi. Must protect.”

Old Mr. Ning was taken aback a little. His sharp eyes deepened and the way he looked at Lu Jue was less cold than before.

He sighed and looked over at his granddaughter. “How’s Lu Jue’s wound?”

“His forehead was cut by broken glass but, luckily, the cut isn’t very deep and his eyes were not hurt.” The wound on Lu Jue’s forehead was close to his brows and his eyes were right below that. Ning Zhi was scared when she thought about it.

The way that Old Mr. Ning looked at Lu Jue softened some more.

He asked the butler with a sharp look. “How’s the investigation on the car accident coming along?”

“The driver who caused the accident is at the police station right now. This car accident did not appear to be just an accident. We think it was intentional,” said the butler.

They were still looking into whether they were targeting the Lu’s Young Master or their Young Mistress.

Old Mr. Ning had been in the business world for a long time and knew well about all the scheming in the field. His eyes dimmed. “You must look into that carefully.”

No matter what their intentions were, as long as it threatened his granddaughter and caused her harm, he would get down to the bottom of it and take revenge.

“Yes, Sir.” The butler could tell that Old Mr. Ning was truly angry.

Old Mr. Ning had just located his real granddaughter and had yet to have a chance to dote upon her before someone had tried to cause her harm. That was no different than trying to pull whiskers out of a tiger. Old Mr. Ning had grown older; that did not mean that he had become kinder.

Knowing that his granddaughter was not hurt and that Lu Jue’s wound was taken care of, Old Mr. Ning brought them back to the Ning’s with him.

The night was deep, the old house, located in the middle of the city, however, had it own brand of serenity.

It was bright inside the house.

Old Mr. Ning had the butler arranged for a room for Lu Jue.

“Grandpa, Lu Jue stays……” Ning Zhi was not done talking before she was cut off by Old Mr. Ning.

“He’s hurt right now and you two should not stay in the same room together. He needs a few days of good rest.” Despite the fact that Old Mr. Ning’s attitude toward Lu Jue had softened up a lot, it was still difficult to have a complete turnaround right away.
