Chapter 216 Don’t Want to Look Back

The dinner party gradually dispersed at nine o'clock in the evening.

Su Jiaojiao stood at the window and looked out. Hu Wei was the last one to come out. He talked to Qin Shuang downstairs for a long time. Qin Xiuming stood by and even clenched his fists.

Qin Shuang still had a warm smile on her face, she would not let others see that she was unhappy at all.

Hu Wei put on a helmet, pushed out the motorcycle in a dashing manner, waved to Qin Shuang, started the motorcycle, and rumbled out of the factory.

Not long after walking, he crashed into the green belt amid the exclamations of passers-by, and his helmet was broken.

A security guard patrolling the factory found him and sent him to the hospital, saying that he was drunk and lost control of his motorcycle and ran into the green belt.

Qin Xiuming stood upstairs and watched the whole process coldly.

Serves you right, retribution.

If Hu Wei dares to harass his mother again, he will never let him go.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Guilan saw Su Jiaojiao standing in front of the window for a long time. Su Jiaojiao laughed and said, "Nothing, I just think the moon is pretty good tonight."

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time and have a lot to talk about.

As they chatted, they came to the topic of relocating graves. Chen Guilan said worriedly, "I called your second uncle and he said your eldest uncle planned to relocate the grave on July 15th. Now it's already passed, and I don't know if it's been moved yet."

"No, they won't move." Su Jiaojiao told Chen Guilan about her uncle's fortune-teller job. Chen Guilan was amazed. "Just because of a few words from a fortune-teller, they won't move?"

"Just ask your second uncle tomorrow." Su Jiaojiao didn't receive any definite news, but she believed Chen Xiaohong and Cai Ting.

"We live in the same neighborhood as your eldest uncle, so we see each other every day. I want to get along well with them." Chen Guilan felt embarrassed when she thought of these trivial matters. "If your eldest uncle and your second uncle had a conflict over this matter and fell out, I would be caught in the middle and it would really be worrying."

"If you don't want to interact, then don't interact." Su Jiaojiao said disapprovingly, "You haven't interacted with each other for so many years. They just jumped out to show their presence."

The next day, Su Jiaojiao took a bus back to Jiao County. Qin Shuang asked Qin Xiuming to send her back, but Su Jiaojiao refused and insisted on taking the bus back.

It happened that Qi Heng called her and said that he was going to Jiao County. Su Jiaojiao took a ride with Qi Heng and went back to Jiao County.

On the way, Qi Heng said to Su Jiaojiao in a serious tone, "Call me when you come to Qingyuan next time. I often travel between Jiaoxian and Qingyuan, and I'll give you a ride."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi." Su Jiaojiao agreed. She agreed, but she didn't plan to trouble him again. Everyone was very busy, and no one was anyone else's driver.

"I'm serious." Qi Heng saw Su Jiaojiao's perfunctory answer and said seriously, "It's just a piece of cake, don't be so formal with me."

Lu Jingyou was far away in the northwest, so he couldn't take care of her.

We can't let others take advantage of the situation, like Qin Xiuming.

"What I said is true." Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, "I just took a ride back with you."

"By the way, why didn't your mother come back with you?" Qi Heng didn't want to continue the topic, so Su Jiaojiao replied, "Boss Qin has received several orders, and my mother wants to help her start production before returning. The new company has just received orders and is very busy."

"Yeah, with Mr. Yu as a big client, he's pretty busy." Qi Heng didn't understand the twists and turns of the clothing industry, but looking at the situation yesterday, he knew that Qin Ji would definitely become more and more prosperous.

"I called Lu Jingyou yesterday, and he said his mother and Yan Xuewei had already gone back. He said he felt guilty for not taking good care of you!" Qi Heng mentioned Lu Jingyou again.

"Mr. Lu is too polite. He has already helped me a lot." Su Jiaojiao didn't think he should take care of her just because he took her out. "I'm an adult. I know what I should do. I still feel guilty for disturbing him for so long!"

"What do you think of Lu Jingyou?" Qi Heng suddenly asked her.

"Very good." Su Jiaojiao said without hesitation, "He is easy-going and easy to get along with."

"Do you think he is easy to get along with?" Qi Heng held the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, but he was complaining wildly in his heart. Lu Jingyou is not an easy person to get along with. The little girl was really fooled by him.

"That's right." Su Jiaojiao nodded and asked him, "Why did Mr. Qi think of asking me this?"

"Oh, I'm just asking casually since I'm free." Qi Heng coughed lightly, "So what do you think of Qin Xiuming?"

"He's a good guy too." Su Jiaojiao didn't know how to answer.

Qi Heng: “…”

Asking is the same as not asking.

After Su Jiaojiao got off the car, Qi Heng went to the project department in Jiao County and then returned to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan still had a lot of things waiting for him. Without Lu Jingyou, he was busy every day. On the way, he received a call from Qin Xiuming: "Brother Qi, are you free today?"

"What's the matter?" Qi Heng asked him.

"I'm going back to the capital today. Could you please take me to the airport?" Qin Xiuming knew he was going to Jiao County, so Qi Heng readily agreed, "I'll pick you up right away."

Qin Xiuming came to accompany Qin Shuang as soon as he had a holiday and never returned to the imperial capital. Mr. Lu did not urge him to go back, but only told him to spend more time with his mother and go back to see them when he was free.

Qin Shuang didn't stop him and let Qin Xiuming decide for himself: "If you want to go back, go back. If you don't want to go back, wait until school starts."

"I want to go back and see my grandparents." Qin Xiuming has been living in the Lu family's old house. The old couple has always been very good to him. It was because of his appearance that Lu Jiaping had a falling out with Wu Xinyue. The two have separated and are living their own lives.

Lu Jiaping would sometimes stay overnight at the old house, but more often, he lived outside alone.

Qin Shuang hadn't expected Lu Jiaping and his wife to end up like this. She had never thought about reconciling with Lu Jiaping. She told Qin Xiuming, "When you go back, don't mention me in front of your grandparents and your father. Mom hopes your father is doing well, and she hopes you are doing well too."

"Mom, have you ever thought about being with my dad?" Qin Xiuming knew that his father still had his mom in his heart, and he also hoped that he could have the company of his parents.

"I won't be with him." Qin Shuang never changed her mind. "What happened between your father and I is over. Even if he gets divorced, I won't be with him. I have my own life. Now I just want to work hard."

For her, the hardest days are over.

Life has shown her a ray of hope, and she must seize it bravely. She will not look back, nor does she want to look back.

"But I want to have my own parents by my side." Qin Xiuming felt that his mother's idea was wrong. He didn't understand why his mother couldn't bravely pursue her own happiness.

As long as Qin Shuang agrees, Lu Jiaping is willing to marry her.

"Xiuming, you're already grown up, why are you still so childish?" Qin Shuang frowned. "No one will be with anyone forever. Even your eldest brother, Lu Jingyou, wasn't always by his parents' side. Even if your father and I are not together, we are still your parents. You've never lost us. Besides, you still have your grandparents, your uncle and aunt, your older brother, and your younger sister. You're already very happy."

What Qin Xiuming wanted was not what she said, but he couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he simply stopped explaining.

Even his mother couldn't really understand him, that is, he didn't have a sense of belonging after returning to the Lu family.

He felt like an outsider because he had no home.

A home without a father and a mother.
