At night.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi went to the old mansion hand in hand.
Old Master Lu happily handed over the wedding dress and suit-style booklet that he had chosen for the two of them.
“These are the designs proposed by different designers. Whichever style you like, well make it. If you like more than one set, then we would make a few more sets. After all, this is an important moment that happens once in a lifetime. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
“Yes, Grandpa, we definitely won’t stand on ceremony.”
Jiang Yining was quite sweet.
Lu Zhi’s expression was indifferent, but his gaze was still on the booklet.
It was obvious that he was very interested in these things.
The two of them picked for a while.
Jiang Yining only chose one wedding dress.
She was afraid that it would be a waste if she chose more. Anyway, she and Lu Zhi would have to separate sooner or later.
“Grandpa, i’ll order this one.”
“This set? It’s too simple. There are even better ones later.” Old Master Lu flipped to the end.
One of them was the main wedding dress. It was exceptionally luxurious and beautiful.
Even the veil of the wedding dress was 32 meters long.
Old Master Lu thought that all girls liked this kind of design.
“I like simple and plain things,” said Jiang Yining as she smiled.
The corner of Lu Zhi’s mouth sank. He took the picture album and said, “It’s fine if you like plain things, but marriage is such an important matter. Besides, didn’t I earn money for you to spend? You’re always so thrifty. Do you think I don’t earn enough money?”
This fool, he was not happy that she had helped him save money?
“All Zhi is right. Yining, we can’t be thrifty for your wedding. Pick a few more sets. When the time comes, you can try it out and see which one suits you better,” echoed Old Master Lu.
Jiang Yining looked out slightly and said with a smile, “Sure.”
Since they were so insistent, it would be bad if she didn’t choose more sets.
Therefore, Jiang Yining chose a total of seven or eight sets in one go.
Including the most luxurious wedding dress that was worth more than 60 million!
She thought that she would be able to see Lu Zhi’s heartbroken expression. She did not expect him to pass the booklet to the housekeeper without blinking.
“Just these few sets.”
Jiang Yining almost choked on her breath.
Alright then.
She couldn’t understand the thoughts of rich people.
After choosing the wedding dress, Old Master Lu explained the list of guests and other matters of the wedding to them.
He wanted to see if there was anything else he needed to add.
Jiang Yining felt dizzy after hearing this. In the end, she couldn’t help but stand up and say, “Grandpa, you can discuss it with Ah Zhi. I’m okay with anything he decides. 1’11 go to the backyard for a walk first.”
“Okay, you can go.”
Old Master Lu could tell that she was not interested in such trivial matters.
He did not make things difficult for her.
Jiang Yining could finally relax and walked briskly to the back garden.
After making a detour, she went straight to Shen Man’s residence.
She arrived in front of Shen Man’s bedroom.
Jiang Yining made a shushing gesture at the maid, signaling her not to speak.
Then, she crept in.
At this moment, Shen Man was holding something and wiping her tears.
Jiang Yining pounced on her from behind and didn’t notice her strange behavior.
“Mom, what are you looking at?”
The sudden voice startled Shen Man
She instinctively closed the things in her hands and wiped the tears off her face.
It was only then that Jiang Yining noticed that she was secretly crying.
She asked with concern, “Mom, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”
“No, no…”
Shen Man shook her head.
Jiang Yining looked at the maids standing next to her sternly and said, “Did you bully my mother? I’m warning all of you. If anyone dares to disrespect my mother, don’t blame me for being rude.”
The maids were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Everyone in the Lu family knew that Lu Zhi and Old Master Lu doted on Jiang Yining.
Madam’s status in the Lu family was not good.
However, with Jiang Yining’s support, it would be easy for her to kill them.
“Young Mistress, how dare we do such a thing?”
“Young Mistress, please spare us. We definitely won’t dare to bully Madam…” The maids begged softly.
Shen Man held Jiang Yining’s hand and said, “Don’t scare them. These are all maids who have been with me for decades. I trust them very much.”
“Then why are you crying?” Jiang Yining asked persistently.
Shen Man didn’t want to tell her what was on her mind because she was afraid that Jiang Yining would overthink as well.
But after hesitating for a moment, she still told the truth.
“I miss Beicheng.”
At the mention of her second son, Shen Man’s eyes turned red again, and there were faint tears in them.
Jiang Yining’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Lu Beicheng’s name.
Hard work really paid off.
After doing so much, she finally heard some news about Lu Beicheng.
Jiang Yining tried her best to suppress her surging emotions and pretended to be calm as she held her hand and said, “Mom, you can tell me anything. I promise 1 won’t tell anyone.”
Shen Man shook her head lightly and said, “Yining, it’s better for you to know less. Otherwise, Ah Zhi will get angry.”
“So what if he’s angry? He won’t divorce me. Mom, Ah Zhi likes me a lot. Don’t worry.” Jiang Yining lied without blushing or her heart beating quickly.
Shen Man smiled when she heard that.
She could rest assured now that her son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship.
“Mom, tell me. I’ll listen. When I walk out of this door, I will forget everything.” Jiang Yining advised, “Don’t bottle up everything in your heart. You’ll get sick.”
Shen Man hesitated for a long time before taking out the diary in her hand.
“Beicheng gave this to me the night before he left. He said that if anything happened to him, we must not send anyone to look for him. This notebook had to be preserved well. It was his last life-saving talisman. As long as it was safe, he would be safe. I’ve always wanted to give it to Ah Zhi and let him see what’s inside. However, I was afraid that he wouldn’t believe me given our relationship, so until today, 1 have not given it to him.”
Jiang Yining took it and flipped through the notebook.
The first page was a normal diary, but the last page recorded more than ten chemical formulas.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Jiang Yining’s attention was focused on the chemical formula.
After a while, she frowned.
This was a series of complex chemical synthesis formulas.
The first part mainly involved a rare element, Curium, while the latter part involved a new type of nuclear energy and water.
If the energy source was created according to this formula, it would not cause any harm to the environment.
This discovery would shock the entire world!
This was because the problem of global resource shortage was very tricky.
If they could control a stable, efficient, and clean new energy source, it would bring the progress and development of human society into a new era.
However, as far as she knew, curium did not exist in nature. The curium that had been discovered so far was man-made.
It was impossible to mass-produce them.
The curium element in the formula was treated as a very common existence.
Could it be that Lu Beicheng’s disappearance had something to do with this invention? Was Lin Yan involved in this as well?
Jiang Yining collected her thoughts, closed the book, and said to Shen Man, “Mom, Beicheng’s disappearance is not as simple as it seems. Keep this notebook well and don’t give it to anyone.”
“Yes, I know.”
Shen Man knew very well that this notebook was Beicheng’s lifeline.
She would never casually reveal it to others.
Jiang Yining comforted her again, “Mom, since Beicheng told you that he’s safe as long as the book is here, he’ll be fine. Then you can wait for him to come back in peace. Don’t secretly be sad and cry anymore.”
Shen Man was a little shy after being nagged at by her daughter-in-law.
Jiang Yining smiled and shared some interesting things with her to divert her attention.
Finally, she made Shen Man amused. Jiang Yining saw that there was not much time left, so she led her to the front hall for dinner.
Shen Man was unwilling at first.
Because the last time she went to the villa, Yining and All Zhi got into an argument.
But how could she win against Jiang Yining?
After being coaxed and deceived by her, she still entered the living room..
