“This…”

John was drenched in a cold sweat and could not respond.

“Girl, can you come with me? You just saved me. I have something to give you as a thank you gift.” Master Xiao glared at John again. When he turned to look at Lauren again, he immediately changed his expression and was full of smiles.

What thank you gift? Lauren did not want it.

She saw John being respectful in front of the old man. She did not want to go with John, so she took this opportunity!

Just like that, John watched Lauren leave. He was unwilling, but he could not help but feel frustrated.

When they reached a place where John could no longer see her, Lauren stopped. “Grandpa, under such circumstances, others would have saved you too. I don’t need any thank you gifts. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”

“If you leave now, won’t your father find trouble with you again?” The old man stopped Lauren again.

John was not a person who would give up easily, but Lauren was not afraid.

“This is fate. You just… Um, are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?” The old man leaned on his walking stick with both hands and looked at Lauren with a smile.

Lauren was stunned. The old man was too enthusiastic.

But on second thought, it made sense. The old man had just called her his “granddaughter-in-law.” With his grandson’s condition, as long as someone was willing to marry him, the old man would be happy.

Not to mention someone as young and beautiful as her.

That was right, that was what Master Xiao thought. He almost wanted to ask Lauren about her impression of Xiao Ye when she met him just now. What did she think of him?

But he was afraid of scaring Lauren off, so Master Xiao swallowed his words.

“Grandpa, thank you. I don’t have anything I want to eat. If you want to thank me… Why don’t you find someone else to be your granddaughter-in-law?” Lauren took the opportunity to bring it up.

She was now a 19-year-old girl, and her future was promising.

After she dealt with the people from the Lu family, she could more or less get some of the Lu family’s assets.

Then, she would look for the people who wanted her dead to avenge the original Lauren and herself.

When she find her subordinates, she could withdraw the huge amount of money she had saved.

Why would she want a man?

Moreover, the other party was wearing a mask. Who knew what kind of face was underneath the mask.

Oh, right, the man’s legs were weak, and he did not have long to live!

Master Xiao did not expect Lauren to be so direct.

He was taken aback. But on second thought, Lauren had just met his grandson.

He did not catch her eye, what a pity!

“Girl, my grandson is a very good person. Just get to know…”

“Grandpa, I have heard of your grandson’s situation. Firstly, I don’t like him, and secondly, I don’t even know him. How could I marry someone who could die at any time?”

Lauren did not want to hear what Master Xiao had to say and interrupted him.

She knew that her words were very direct and hurtful.

But she had to think of herself first. Moreover, those dogs of the Lu family were not worth her sacrificing anything for!

If Master Xiao had not been saved by Lauren by chance today, regardless of whether Lauren was willing or not, he would have forced Lauren over without hesitation after hearing about her from Yu Chen.

Especially since John had already agreed.

However, the current situation was that Lauren had saved him. This little girl was good in all aspects. She matched perfectly with his grandson’s looks and height.

However, what she said made sense.

For a moment, Master Xiao was also in a difficult position. However, he remembered the situation of his grandson, Xiao Ye.

He had consulted a lot of Chinese and Western doctors, but none of them could cure his illness. That was why he had no choice but to trust the old ancestors’ ways of believing in astrology.

Astrologically, Lauren was also the most compatible with Xiao Ye amongst the many women.

“Girl, you just happened to save me today. Maybe you can save my grandson, I…”

“Grandpa, I’m not some savior.” She did not believe in stuff like driving away bad luck.

“Grandpa, I still have something to do. I’m leaving first.”After saying that, Lauren turned around and left.

Little did she know that Xiao Ye, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the distance, had seen this scene. Throughout the entire process, the corners of his mouth curled up.

All the socialites in C City knew about his situation and were unwilling to marry him. Lauren’s reaction was within his expectations, but he did not know why.

The words “I’m not some savior” made him want to laugh for some reason.

She was really direct.

The old man did not want to see Lauren leave like this. He immediately sent a message to John: as long as John could find a way to let Lauren marry into the Xiao family, he was willing to add another 100 million as a betrothal gift..
