The Actor’s Ex-wife

Chapter 58

"Jian You, last time you said you liked foie gras, today I made it especially for you." Mr. Shen wiped his hands and started moving. Jian You saw that there were tenderloin, soy sauce bones, and a plate of stir-fried pork on the plate in front of him. Asparagus, a plate of cold kale.

"Grandpa, you can't eat more meat." Jian You frowned. Older people are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Besides, the old man not only had a heart bypass a few years ago, but is also a diabetic patient.

 “Just eat it once in a while.” The old man had already picked up the chopsticks.

Jian You blinked and said, "But... I also want to eat meat. Grandpa, look at how thin I am..."

A few days ago, Jiang Meiyi brought the sauced pork ribs over. The old man thought it was delicious, so he specially asked the kitchen to prepare it today. He originally wanted to enjoy it himself, but he didn't expect that his granddaughter would take care of it.

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Jian You is too thin and should really eat more meat.

When Jian You saw the old man relenting, he happily took a piece and put it in his bowl. Looking at the remaining piece of soy sauce bone on the plate, he pushed the plate in front of Shen Lu: "Mr. Shen, you eat too, otherwise it will look like It’s like grandpa is biased.”

Shen Lu was immersed in eating. He didn't expect that things would develop like this. He didn't like sweets, but... looking at the old man's eyes, it didn't seem good not to eat.

"Okay, thank you." Shen Lu reluctantly put the soy sauce bone into his bowl.

The flowers are in full bloom in the flower house not far away, and the bonsai that the old man has taken care of himself are lush and green. The small pavilion with rockery and flowing water inside is lifelike. Jian You took a watering can and sprinkled water on the bonsai. The water droplets reflected colorful light in the sun.

This meal was quite pleasant. Without Shen Xiao present, the old man would not dislike anyone who does not care about food. Jian You felt a little uncomfortable after eating a large piece of soy sauce bone, so she took a walk in the garden outside the villa.

Jian You was stunned for a moment, stopped what she was doing, raised her head and glanced at him: "I can call you that now, brother Shen Lu..."

Shen Lu came over at some point, put his hands in his pockets and said to Jian You, "You, you always called me brother Shen Lu when you were a child."

When she spoke, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and a small pear dimple appeared on her cheeks. She really looked like an otherworldly fairy.

 “I’m very happy that you can call me that.”

  Shen Lu said this, but she felt a little regretful in her heart. He suddenly recalled that many years ago, one summer night, he was at the Shen family's old house and saw Jian You, wearing a snow-white silk nightgown, walking down the arc-shaped stairs on the second floor. The girl had a slender figure, The light and shadow of the crystal chandelier fell on her half-conscious face. His father had just passed away at that time, which was the saddest moment, but when he walked out of Master Shen's study and saw this scene, somewhere in his body became shamelessly hard.

Shen Lu lowered his head and smiled, as if he was laughing at his unruly youth. But these seemed completely meaningless, because when Jian You was eighteen years old, she married Shen Xiao. There was a dream that was broken in his heart. He was addicted to his studies and finally returned with honors, burying these old memories deep in his heart. But now he knew more clearly what he wanted. What he wanted was never this woman, but everything that belonged to Shen Xiao.

"What is Brother Shen Lu thinking about?" When Jian You raised her eyes, she saw his slightly sinister eyes. As described in the original article, Shen Lu had a gloomy personality and was unsmiling, but he was very filial and well-behaved in front of Mr. Shen.

"No, I just think you look a little different from before." Shen Lu said casually.

"What's different? Don't tell me that I'm pretty again?" Jian You said pretending to be surprised. At this time, Mr. Shen came out of the living room and walked to the two of them.

Shen Lu smiled and did not reply. The old man asked: "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Shen Lu smiled lightly and said nothing, but Jian You smiled brightly: "Brother Shen Lu praised me for getting more and more beautiful as I grow older."

Jian You raised her head and looked at Shen Lu. The old man also looked up at him. Shen Lu seemed to have a smile on his face. He nodded and said, "She seems to be getting more and more beautiful."

 The old man smiled even more happily. Jian You looked at the sky and said, "Grandpa, I'm going home."

Shen Lu followed: "I'm going back to the company too."

The old man asked Mrs. Liu to prepare the car, but Shen Lu stopped her and said, "I'll take you back. It's not a long way."

After hearing this, Jian You almost refused directly, but managed to hold it back and said, "Ah... I still want to go shopping, I'll just wait a while before leaving."

Seeing Jian You like this, the old man just shook his head: "It's okay, let Shen Lu take you there. He is not an outsider either."

Jian You didn't want the old man to see her hostility towards Shen Lu, so she thought about it and nodded in agreement.

When the two of them went out one after another, Jian You suddenly turned around and said to the old man: "Grandpa, don't read those entertainment tabloids in the future, and don't order these newspapers at home. You'll get angry after reading them."

The old man agreed wholeheartedly, but Shen Lu, who was standing behind Jian You, frowned. Of course he knew how those entertainment tabloids got into the Shen family, but he didn't expect Jian You to be so careful and even aware of these. And the sauce bone that was inexplicably stuffed just now...
