Lu Lili only realized the benefits of wearing a mask now.
Originally, she wore the mask just to avoid being recognized easily by others.
As long as she didn’t take it off, no one would know who she was, nor could anyone see her expression.
As long as she didn’t feel embarrassed, others would be the ones feeling embarrassed!
Lu Lili turned around and looked at Fu Dezheng who was following closely behind her.
He also wore a mask, and his expression could not be discerned.
But from the way he was protecting her from behind, she could tell that he was taking his job seriously.
The bodyguards were all specially trained.
Each of them wore a sleek black suit, with short and neat hair, tall and sturdy with well-defined muscles, and a serious expression that could scare a child to tears.
Compared to them, Lu Lili felt that Fu Dezheng was taller and leaner in build, and his clothes made him look even slimmer. If he didn’t say it, no one would have guessed that he was a bodyguard.
It was a smooth journey from the airport to Lu’s family villa.
Several luxury cars were parked in a line at the entrance gate.
Lu Lili got out of one of the cars and saw a long red carpet laid out on the ground. Beautiful and festive flower baskets were arranged on both sides of the carpet.
The light breeze carried the natural fragrance of the flowers, tickling her nose.
An old man with all white hair stood on the red carpet, holding a solid wooden cane with a serious expression.
Behind him stood two rows of servants, all with smiles on their faces. As soon as they saw Lu Lili, they bowed and shouted, “Welcome back, Miss!”
Lu Lili : “…”
Thanks to the system, she experienced the treatment of a wealthy young lady that could only be seen in idol dramas.
The old man was too old to stand up straight.
But he still looked impressive. As the chairman of a large corporation, the wisdom and nobility that accumulated with age could not be ignored.
Lu Lili clearly felt that the old man had not taken his eyes off her since she got out of the car.
Suddenly, she felt a twinge of pain in her heart.
It had nothing to do with the original owner’s emotions, she just felt sorry for this lonely old man.
He had worked hard his whole life, but what he got in return was the early deaths of his son and daughter-in-law, his beloved wife died of illness before the age of 60, and only one granddaughter under his knee, who was very worrisome…
“Grandpa, I’m back!”
Lu Lili ran over to express her excitement and joy.
Despite the old man’s stern expression, the red carpet and flowers at the door, as well as the servants’ welcoming slogans, showed how much he was looking forward to his granddaughter’s return.
“It’s good that you’re back,” Lu Wangxin habitually nodded solemnly.
Actually, he was overjoyed inside.
But in addition to joy, he also felt worried.
Observing his expression, Lu Lili tentatively said, “Grandpa, there is something very important that I must tell you. Please don’t mind me saying it…”
Lu Wangxin remained silent for a moment.
He knew that his granddaughter must’ve had gone through a lot while being alone abroad.
No matter what she had experienced, it was already in the past, and he must approach her with a loving and understanding heart and help her start a new life.
Finally, he softened up a bit and said, “It’s alright, go ahead. Grandpa has been through a lot in his many years.”
“Well, you need to be mentally prepared!”
Lu Lili said so as she reached up and took off her mask in front of the old man, revealing her entire face.
“Lili? You… you are…?”
Lu Wangxin was truly shocked, and even his hand, which was holding onto his cane, shook a little bit.
His granddaughter… she didn’t look like this before!
Lu Lili quickly helped the old man steady himself, lowered her head and let out a sigh, “I had plastic surgery, Grandpa.”
