Chapter 256: Comparison
Lu Wanli looked at Lu Ruisheng again, "Indeed, this child really resembles our Lu family members; you can tell he’s from the Lu family at a glance."
As they were speaking, Old Lady Huang Suzhen led Lu Ruiming in. Just as Lu Wanli had finished his words, his first glance at Lu Ruiming made him feel something was slightly off.
Before Lu Wanli could ponder further, Lu Ruiming approached him with a crutch and reached out to embrace him, "Grandpa, I’ve missed you so much."
He was best at winning the favor of elders. Despite the fact that the old man came from a military background and was extremely strict outside, the older he got, the more he sought this kind of closeness and concern from his grandchildren.
Lu Wanli had a deep affection for this child, as Lu Ruiming had grown up around him as a boy.
Lu Ruiming was frail and sickly in childhood, easily allergic, breaking out in rashes all over his body at the slightest trigger—even his face had no good spot, looking like a kitten. For years, Lu Wanli had gone out of his way to ask friends to recommend famous doctors. It wasn’t until Lu Ruiming was around eleven or twelve that his condition considerably improved.
Having not seen the boy for a few years and now seeing how he had grown, the old man was still delighted.
Lu Wanli hugged Lu Ruiming and patted his back, "It’s good to be back. From now on, you and your brother should both stay at home."
Lu Ruiming, of course, was pleased, "I’ll listen to Grandpa." After speaking, he shifted his injured leg awkwardly, making it obvious for Lu Wanli to ask about it.
Lu Wanli did indeed notice Lu Ruiming’s leg, "How did you hurt your leg?" As his grandson, he was naturally concerned.
