After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Already Regarded as the Lady of the Li Family

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, Juanjuan bit her lip and thought for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and saying, "...Sister, I’ve made up my mind."

Lu Sheng raised her head to look at Juanjuan and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

A hint of determination colored Juanjuan’s expression.

"Sister, I plan to take Brother back to Suli."

Juanjuan’s words were not unexpected to Lu Sheng.

If it were the situation before, after regaining her memory, Juanjuan would have been afraid of her brother and would not want to return to Suli with him. She would rather stay in Jiang City and lead a simple life.

But now, she knew the truth her brother had never let her know. She understood that her brother was not a cold-blooded, heartless madman. On the contrary, he had shouldered too much.

As aristocrats, their identities were special in Suli. Juanjuan might still manage, but Chen Shu could not stay abroad for long.

Juanjuan could not just consider her own wishes and stay in Jiang City alone. Moreover, Chen Shu now had amnesia, and without her by his side, he wouldn’t be able to return to Suli on his own.

So Lu Sheng nodded and said to Juanjuan, "Since it’s your decision, then go ahead and do it."

"After you return to the country, if there’s anything you need my help with, you can contact me at any time."

Hearing Lu Sheng’s words, the firmness in Juanjuan’s expression gave way to reddening eyes, and she couldn’t help but choke up, "Sister... I can’t bear to leave you."

"If it wasn’t for you and the others finding me and rescuing me from the hands of the human trafficker, I don’t know what terrible things could have happened."

"Then Sister, you let me live in your apartment, helped me unconditionally, took care of me, and treated me like a little sister. I’m really grateful."

"I feel that the three months I spent in Jiang City were the most relaxed and happy time of my life. After returning to my country, I will definitely miss Sister."

"Isn’t that simple?"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, "Now that transportation is so developed, whenever you miss me, you can come to Jiang City anytime. Just think of it as your second home."

Lu Sheng’s tone was very serious, she told the girl in front of her, "Here, you will always be Juanjuan, not the distinguished Miss Christine Brown."

With that one statement, the girl who had been holding back her tears couldn’t hold back anymore.

Juanjuan’s tears burst out all at once, and she hugged Lu Sheng and cried for a long while before she somewhat embarrassedly came out from her embrace.

"Then, Sister, I’ll go see Brother and then bring him back to the apartment first."

About half an hour later, Juanjuan came with Chen Shu to bid farewell to Lu Sheng.

The amnesia-stricken Chen Shu had lost that unpredictable and dangerous air about him.

The nearly six-foot-tall blond gentleman allowed his little sister to hold his hand, even appearing somewhat naive and well-behaved.

Instead, Juanjuan, who was originally innocently cute and bewildered, now had a much more determined expression, as if she had suddenly grown up and taken on the responsibility of caring for her brother.

Lu Sheng asked the butler to arrange a driver to send the siblings off. Watching the car disappear from view, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but feel emotional.

In one’s life, there are always various encounters and one will meet all kinds of different people.

Some people are destined to be passers-by, brushing past you, leaving insignificant or fleeting marks in your life.

Others might appear at some point in time, in an unexpected manner, and from that moment on, become your dearest and closest friends.

All good things come to an end. However, every experience helps you grow, and every relationship is worth cherishing.

Because Li Muchen had not woken up at noon and her brothers were not at home, the house was only occupied by Lu Sheng and Jiang Ting.

So, lunch was made by the Li Family’s chef, a simple meal with four dishes and one soup for two.

Around four or five in the afternoon, Lu Sheng went upstairs to wake Li Muchen. The two of them cuddled in bed for a while before Li Muchen finally got up to take a shower in the bathroom.

In the evening, the first brother to rush back to the Li Family was the eldest brother.

Although Lu Jingyan was a workaholic, he was always thinking about Lu Sheng, who had had a high fever last night, and hurried back as soon as he finished his work at the company.

"Shengsheng, has your fever gone down? Is your forehead still hot?"

As soon as Lu Jingyan entered, he approached Lu Sheng, who was sitting on the sofa. He placed his hand on the girl’s fair forehead and only when he didn’t feel the same burning heat as last night, he was relieved.

Seeing Lu Sheng in a nightgown, she looked more like a worrywart than Jiang Ting. He insisted Li Muchen quickly carry her upstairs back to their room, to change into a set of cotton and linen pajamas before coming back down.

Ever since Lu Sheng first came to the Li Family, Li Muchen had an enormously spacious wardrobe set up for her next to the master bedroom, and had filled it with countless items for her.

Sweaters, hoodies, shirts, T-shirts, jeans, casual pants, shorts, overalls, sneakers, sports shoes, casual shoes, high-heeled shoes... and various styles of coats, trench coats, jackets, down jackets, and so on.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—every season was included.

Each piece of clothing was expensive, many were handmade high-end custom designs, some bought from abroad. All were cleaned and ironed by the servants, hung or folded in the closet.

Even lingerie, underwear, socks, pajamas, and nightgowns, Li Muchen had prepared many sets ahead of time according to the girl’s preferred style.

Even though Lu Sheng had never spent the night in the Li Family home before this.

Li Muchen was busy with work, but his thoughts on the girl were always delicate. He truly treated her as his most precious treasure, paying attention to every detail with care.

Dressed in long pajamas, the tall man then knelt beside the bed, lowering his head to cradle the girl’s feet in his hands. He helped her slip on white long socks, and then put on fluffy wool slippers for her.

Despite wearing slippers, Lu Sheng did not walk on her own.

Even though Lu Sheng was no longer feverish now, Jiang Ting, the eldest brother, and Li Muchen, were all still very anxious after last night’s illness.

After putting on the slippers, Li Muchen bent down to carry her in his arms, letting her wrap her arms around his neck, and tenderly carried her downstairs.

Such a scene, if witnessed by the likes of Aunt Li and Aunt Wang from last night, would probably again have them secretly cursing in their hearts for flouting convention.

However, after last night’s incident, the servants of the Li Family were all very mindful and had come to regard Lu Sheng as the lady of the Li Family.

Although she was just an underage girl, younger than them by ten or even thirty years, these people were now respectfully deferential, hardly daring to look her straight in the eye.

This showed how effective Jiang Ting’s assertiveness had been last night.

The second brother to return to the Li Family was Lu Ziye.
