Chapter 461: What is she doing here (2) _1
Jian Luo kept her head down while having breakfast, not lifting her head during the whole meal.
“Luoluo, where are Grandpa and Dad?” She broke the silence, asking.
Jian Luo took a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, “Uncle Qin is visiting friends with Grandpa, and Ning Feng just came to see Dad. He said he had some matters to take care of, so he won’t be back until tonight.”
Suddenly, Black Jack’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and upon seeing the caller ID, his eyes darkened a little.
Without hesitating, he stood up and walked out of the room with his phone.
Watching his back, Jian Luo clenched the napkin in her hand.
“I mean, can’t you two stop being so stubborn?” Bai Jue said helplessly.
“Who’s arguing with him? I’m not bored enough for that.” Jian Luo laid down the napkin, said casually.
He also rejected the idea of Grandpa playing matchmaker yesterday. He didn’t know why he was still in a moody sort. He didn’t care about him, and he didn’t care, either. It’d be best if nobody cared about anyone.
Before long, Black Jack returned after finishing his call.
However, he was there to take his coat.
“Are you going out?” Bai Jue asked.
“I have something to do.” He said.
Bai Jue glanced at Jian Luo and asked, “Will you come back tonight?”
“I don’t know.”
After saying that, Black Jack put on his coat, glanced at Jian Luo from the corner of his eye, and left without looking back.
“Bai Jue, come to the racetrack with me.”
Jian Luo stood up, a faint smile on his lips.
The more he smiled, the more Bai Jue felt uneasy.
Can’t these two stop making things complicated for him?
“Are you racing again? Didn’t Black Jack say you can’t go?”
Jian Luo gave him a cold look, “Since when does he get to decide what I do?”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go with you.” Bai Jue rubbed his brow, feeling like he owed these two in his previous life.
Jian Qing silently continued eating her breakfast, not stopping them.
“Luoluo, be careful.”
Jian Luo hummed in response, grabbed Bai Jue, and left.
Jian Qing turned to the man next to her and joked, “Xiaojing, what would you do when we get in a huff with each other?”
“Kiss you.” Quan Jingwu responded with a slight smirk.
If she’s upset, he’ll keep kissing her until she’s appeased.
“…”
Is he a rascal?
Very much so.
But, why can’t I find any fault in him?
…
Upon leaving the manor, Black Jack drove to a hotel.
As soon as he got out of the car, two black-suited bodyguards approached him.
“Count!”
Black Jack, with a chilly face, said, “Where’s my mother?”
“The Lady fell ill after her flight. She’s now undergoing treatment from the doctor.” One of the bodyguards said.
Black Jack frowned and quickly walked inside.
The entire ninth floor of the hotel was rented out, and uniformed black-suited bodyguards lined the corridor.
The bodyguard stationed at the room door instantly opened the door as he saw Black Jack approaching.
“Count!”
Upon entering the room, he noticed a doctor attending to a woman lying in the bed.
“Black Jack!” The woman leaning against the bed was frighteningly pale, but her eyes flickered with brightness when she saw Black Jack.
Black Jack walked over and asked the doctor, “How is she?”
“The Lady’s health has been poor, and the long flight has worsened her condition. Her condition improved a bit after taking some pills. Considering her safety, it’s better she returns to Y Country as soon as possible for treatment and rest.” The doctor said.
“You all may leave.” The woman said.
“Yes.”
The servants and doctor from the Fortress left the room, leaving mother and son alone in the room.
“Mom, you’ve been too impetuous this time.” Black Jack said in a low voice.
Qiong An had a gentle smile on her face, “Black Jack, are you planning to stand there and talk to me? It’s tiring to look up at you.”
Black Jack pulled up a chair and sat down by her bedside.
With calm eyes, he addressed her firmly, “I’ve ordered people to prepare a plane. You can rest for a while, and then I’ll send you back.”
“I’m not going back.” Qiong An said.
“What on earth did you come here for?” Black Jack asked bluntly.
Qiong An coughed gently and said, “Black Jack, Lis is here too, can’t you just meet her?”
Hearing those words, a chill ran down Black Jack’s spine.
“What is she here for?”
“Black Jack, listen to me, Lis she—-” Qiong An was trying to explain.
“No need.” Black Jack cut her off, “Mom, I’ve already told you, I don’t like Lis, and I will never be with her. You should know, I’m already in love with someone.”
A look of sadness appeared on Qiong An’s face, “Black Jack, my health is deteriorating day by day, I don’t have much longer. Can’t you just oblige me this once, go and meet Lis for a meal? If you still don’t like her after meeting, I will no longer interfere in your love life, okay?”
Black Jack’s eyes were downcast, “Mom, I’m already in love with someone.”
“Black Jack, if that person you love is a woman, no matter her family background, I wouldn’t object. But you happened to fall in love with a man, how can I accept this?” Qiong An said in distress.
She had always thought that his relationship with Jian Luo was just a bit closer, never imagining that her son was sincerely in love with him. When he came to tell her about it, she knew she couldn’t stop him, so she didn’t cause a fuss, only trying to salvage the situation.
She continued, “Black Jack, I’ve already retreated so many steps, can’t you just consider my wishes, for the few days I have left, and listen to me for once? I’m not forcing you to be with Lis, just meet her for a meal. After that, if you still insist on your thought, I’ll have nothing to say, and I’ll accept the one you love. How about it?”
Black Jack, with downcast eyes, still didn’t speak.
“Black Jack, without my blessing, even if Jian Luo is with you, there will always be a thorn in his heart. What’s more, if I oppose you two being together, Jian Luo will never be with you that easily.” At the end of her words, Qiong An said fiercely.
A marriage without blessings won’t be happy.
After a while, Black Jack spoke, his voice husky, “I promise you.”
A look of joy passed over Qiong An’s face.
“However—” Black Jack raised his head to look at her, firmly saying, “After this, you must accept Jian Luo and stop arranging other women for me.”
