Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 158 The window paper between the two
It's the beginning of autumn, and the weather in Qingyuan City is very cool in the mornings and evenings.
The night breeze blowing in from the half-open window was cool, and the damp and salty air wrapped in the loud pop music from the street hit my face, but the room was not stuffy.
Lu Jingyou sat deeply in the chair, looking at her quietly.
When she was serious, she would tilt her head slightly, as if she was thinking or exploring. In his eyes, this habit of hers was very similar to the cat he raised as a child, which tilted its head to listen to him. He thought it was very cute. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him, just like in her previous life.
Just like in his previous life, he was obsessed and fell in love with her.
When their eyes met, Su Jiaojiao was the first to give in and lowered her eyes. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her guess. If that was true, Qin Shuang would not be able to go to the imperial capital. She didn't want this matter to go around in circles and end up like in her previous life.
"In fact, my suspicions are the same as Mr. Su's, but we have no evidence." Lu Jingyou spoke after a long pause. "You can't get a tiger cub without learning from it, so what we need to do is solve the problem, not avoid it. In fact, in my previous life, I suspected that it was caused by human factors."
Mr. Su?
Previous life?
He is about to break the window paper.
"Who does Mr. Lu suspect?" Su Jiaojiao thought it would be better for the two of them to talk it out. After all, there was no conflict of interest between him and her regarding the matter of Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang was his second uncle's former lover and had nothing to do with their first wife.
"It's not ruled out that it was my Second Aunt or someone close to her." Lu Jingyou said bluntly, "At the moment, she seems to have the strongest motive. As for whether she is, we need to investigate further. Judging from the traces at the scene, it's a miracle that Qin Shuang survived."
"Yes, in her previous life, she was..." Su Jiaojiao said, then stopped talking. This was the first time she had talked about her past life in front of others since her rebirth. Lu Jingyou knew what she was thinking and smiled, "Mr. Su, you don't have to worry about anything in front of me. Although this is unscientific, since it has happened, we have to face it calmly. When we live again, we have to change a little to make this life worthwhile."
"Since President Lu knows what's going on, I'm relieved." Su Jiaojiao stopped pretending and said frankly, "Qin Shuang is both my teacher and friend. No matter in the past life or this life, she is my benefactor. I can't ignore her affairs."
"I know that." Lu Jingyou nodded slightly. "For me, this is something I owe her."
"You owe her?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him with wide eyes. Lu Jingyou stood up and poured her a glass of water. "I was the one who brought Qin Xiuming to my grandfather ahead of time. If I remember correctly, it was five years earlier than in my previous life, so the car accident also happened five years earlier. I changed their karma, so I can't just ignore it. In this matter, our goals are the same. We both hope that she will recover soon and live in peace and happiness from now on."
"It's great that Mr. Lu thinks so." Su Jiaojiao believed that what Lu Jingyou said was true. He had ten thousand reasons to ignore this matter, but this was the only reason that convinced her of his motive for doing so. "Since Mr. Lu has already made arrangements, then I feel relieved. I want to go back tomorrow, but you don't need to send me off. I can go back by myself."
"That's fine. I happen to be going back to Jiao County tomorrow. Let's go after visiting Director Qin this morning. What do you think?" Lu Jingyou looked at her with a smile. Su Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."
"Mr. Su, why don't you ask me why I brought Qin Xiuming back to the capital in advance?" Lu Jingyou suddenly asked her. The clothes he bought for her fit her well and looked good on her. He liked girls like her who were clean and refreshing. In her previous life, she became Mr. Su, and her clothes were still simple and refreshing. She touched his heart in every way.
"Qin Xiuming is a member of your Lu family. You know his identity and that he eventually returned to the Lu family. It makes sense to bring him back earlier." Su Jiaojiao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but his eyes looked a little hot when he looked at her. She picked up the cup and took a sip of water to hide her discomfort.
"No, that's not the point." Lu Jingyou leaned forward. Although they were the only two people in the room, he lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him. "The point is, I don't want him to get entangled with you anymore."
"Why did Mr. Lu do this?" Su Jiaojiao put down the cup and asked him calmly.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Lu Jingyou sat back in his chair, crossed his hands on the table, and said calmly, "In your previous life, you were hurt by love and depressed for a long time. I didn't want to see you repeat the same mistake, so I decided to bring Qin Xiuming back to the imperial capital early. After all, I didn't know you were back at that time. I thought, after all, we worked together for a while in your previous life, so I'll help you avoid this love disaster."
"In other words, this car accident happened five years earlier because of you and me." Su Jiaojiao felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. "I just hope Aunt Qin is safe and sound. Otherwise, I will be a sinner."
She thought that everything that happened in her past life would happen according to the course of time, and she could avoid it as long as she paid attention.
But this incident now completely broke her cognition, that is, things that happened in the previous life would not happen according to the original time, but would happen randomly and inadvertently.
She was glad that she took Chen Guilan to the hospital for a check-up.
"Don't think so. From the current perspective, things are moving in a positive direction. If anything happens to Director Qin, I'll be the biggest culprit." Lu Jingyou never regretted anything he had done. "You have to believe that only change can lead to a better future. If things remain the same as before, the ending will be the same. I don't think you want the same ending as your previous life."
"What was the ending of my previous life?" Su Jiaojiao's heart moved slightly. She only remembered that her last scene was a live broadcast, and then she came back. As for what happened to her in her previous life, she didn't know.
"A fire broke out in the Yunran Company building. Su Jiaojiao, an outstanding female entrepreneur in the capital, is missing, her life or death uncertain. This was the headline I saw in the newspaper the next day. The investigation showed that the fire was not an accident." Lu Jingyou looked at her thoughtfully, an indescribable emotion in his eyes. "We did have some misunderstandings in our previous life, but I can assure you that I never had any intention of harming you. I think you should understand who is trying to kill you."
"Mr. Lu, except for you, no one has ever made things difficult for me." Su Jiaojiao felt a chill on her back. In her previous life, she had worked hard all the way and relied on herself to seize two opportunities of the times. She had never had any unpleasantness with anyone, let alone a life-and-death dispute.
"Su Jiaojiao, maybe I'm a competitor in your eyes, but you're not really a competitor to me. At most, you're an excellent colleague." Lu Jingyou wasn't angry. His eyes fell on her pink plaid shirt. "To be honest, you've only become a leader in the clothing industry. Even if you later got involved in real estate and became a bit famous, you can't shake our Jiahe Group's leading position. I really don't need to take such a big risk to get rid of you."
"Mr. Lu, I just said that you were the only one who made things difficult for me in my previous life. I didn't say that you were the one who harmed me!" Su Jiaojiao looked at him calmly, "I believe that everything in my previous life was not done by Mr. Lu."
She believed it wasn't Lu Jingyou.
He really had no motive.
"That's good." Lu Jingyou looked at her quietly. "Since we are so familiar with each other, I think we might be able to cooperate. Don't worry, it's not with Jiahe Group, but with me."
"How to cooperate?" Su Jiaojiao felt that he came prepared.
