Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 287: Persuasion Through Emotion and Reason

Lu Jinyan learned from a young age to read expressions and know what to do to make his mother happy.

He quickly walked over with a cheerful smile, crouched beside Yan Xue, and started massaging her legs.

"Hehe, Mom, don’t be upset. It’s not worth it to harm your health by being angry, why bother, right?"

It would have been better not to say that; as soon as he did, Yan Xue exploded and started her old nagging.

"Do you think I can not be upset? Your uncle is spreading his wings and doesn’t listen to me anymore. Doesn’t he realize that everything I do is for his own good? Take that Song Yinyin for example. Sure, she’s the Xiao family’s granddaughter, but so what? The Xiao family fell a long time ago, who even remembers them now?"

"I don’t think that Song Yinyin is a simple character at all. Who knows if she’s taken out her grievances on her father, Song Huaizhong, and is now looking for a scapegoat to exact revenge? But your uncle is determined, and now I see he really is a romantic soul!"

"What taste does your uncle have? Sure, Song Yinyin might be pretty, but can looks be a meal? I’ve introduced him to so many beautiful, well-bred women, yet he never wanted to meet any of them. Now he meets one Song Yinyin and he’s besotted. Ah—"

Yan Xue beat her chest and stamped her feet on the sofa, her words filled with dissatisfaction toward Song Yinyin and frustration at Lu Jihan.

Lu Jinyan kept a smile on his lips, massaging her rhythmically.

After Yan Xue vented enough, feeling tired from scolding, he cheerfully called a maid and instructed, "Quickly go and get my mom a cup of honey grapefruit tea."

"Yes."

The maid headed to the kitchen.

The honey grapefruit tea was something Lu Jinyan had prepared on his way back, knowing his mother loved it. Giving it to her now would surely put out her fire immediately.

The maid brought the honey grapefruit tea.

Yan Xue picked up the cup, taking a light sip.

The cool honey grapefruit tea slipped down her throat, and she let out a comfortable breath, her mood calming slightly.

Her expression was all taken in by Lu Jinyan, who then started to persuade her: "Mom, I know you and Dad raised my uncle as if he were your own son, thinking of his best interest in everything. I understand that, I do."

"What’s the use of your understanding? Your uncle doesn’t appreciate it!" Yan Xue complained.

"It’s not that uncle doesn’t appreciate it; he’s just got a mind of his own." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Yan Xue rolled her eyes: "Falling for a Song Yinyin counts as a mind of his own? Hmph—"

Lu Jinyan, unhurriedly, began persuading her slowly, appealing emotionally, reasoning rationally.

"That’s uncle’s business. Think about it, you and Dad—Dad left early, and grandfather and grandmother also left early. So many people were waiting to see the Lu Family fall, and how many persuaded you to leave and remarry elsewhere. But didn’t you insist on staying with the Lu Family, maintaining the big picture, and finally raised uncle and made him successfully inherit the Mainland Group?"

Pausing, he gently lured, "Didn’t you also manage to persevere alone through that? If you had listened to others and left the Lu Family, left my dad, where would I be today, and where would uncle be?"

Speaking of those years, Yan Xue was a little moved, her eyes shining with tears.

She took a deep breath, calming herself down.

Lu Jinyan reached out and held both of Yan Xue’s hands, "So now, uncle only has eyes for Song Yinyin, and no one can persuade him otherwise. Besides, they have a child. You can’t just watch that obedient child grow up without a mommy, right?"
