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 489 Yu Mingyuan’s Text Message
The three of them were chatting when Su Jiaojiao's phone rang in her bag. She took out a tissue to wipe her hands, then clicked on it and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number:
"Su Jiaojiao, one day I will make Lu Jingyou understand how wrong it was for him to be with you. You don't have to be so proud. What I can't have, you can't have either. Let's play it straight."
Su Jiaojiao took a look and silently put the phone back into her bag. No need to guess, it must be a text message from Yu Mingyuan.
Lu Jingyou's decision to cooperate with the Yu family was the real wrong one.
She carefully recalled the events of her previous life and did not remember such an entanglement between Lu Jingyou and Yu Mingyuan, or was she unaware of it?
Thinking of this, she sent another text message to Lu Jingyou: "Will you come back tomorrow?"
After a while, Lu Jingyou replied: "Go back, do you miss me?"
"Come to Jinyuan, grandma has moved here and said she will stay for a while." Su Jiaojiao wanted to tell him about the text message.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at grandma's tomorrow afternoon." Lu Jingyou agreed. Su Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She put her phone in her bag and continued making zongzi. Grandma Lu didn't let her interfere. "You've been tired all day. We don't need you anymore. We have nothing to do, so it's not necessary for us to make them."
Su Jiaojiao looked at the rice dumplings in the basin. The inverted triangle shapes made by Song Xiangyun and Old Lady Lu were very standard and looked good, but hers were the ugliest, so she simply gave up making any.
"Yes, we have nothing to do all day, so making some zongzi won't be tiring. Once you're done, take them to my house and cook them. I have a big pot at home." Song Xiangyun gestured, "I've called Xiuming, and he'll be over to help deliver the zongzi in a while."
"By the way, Jiaojiao, I heard from Xiuming that you two are classmates?" Mrs. Lu asked Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes, he studied at our school for a semester."
"Have you worked with Xiuming's mother?" Mrs. Lu asked again.
"Yes." Su Jiaojiao answered truthfully.
Old Mrs. Lu said nothing more and continued making rice dumplings.
Song Xiangyun looked at Old Mrs. Lu and asked Su Jiaojiao, "Xiuming's mother must be very capable, right?"
"That's right." Su Jiaojiao answered every question and never said a word more.
Qin Shuang's identity is very sensitive in the Lu family, and she doesn't want to make any comments about Qin Shuang in front of Old Lady Lu.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiuming came over. Seeing Su Jiaojiao here, he felt a little surprised: "You are here too!"
"You're here." Su Jiaojiao greeted him with her usual expression.
"You're here early! We haven't finished wrapping them yet!" Mrs. Lu said to Qin Xiuming with a smile, "It's just right for you to chat with Jiaojiao for a while. We just need to finish wrapping the little rice in the basin."
"Don't worry, I don't have anything to do today." Qin Xiuming sat down on the sofa. Su Jiaojiao had nothing to talk to him about, so she stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going home first."
"Go quickly and come back soon. Come down for dinner later." Old Mrs. Lu repeatedly told Su Jiaojiao, "Come to grandma's house for dinner in the future. You don't have to cook for yourself."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed and returned to her home on the third floor. She lay down on the sofa and didn't want to move at all. She didn't feel anything when they lived here before.
Now, Mrs. Lu has moved back as Lu Jingyou's grandmother, and she feels uncomfortable all over.
After Su Jiaojiao left, Mrs. Lu said to Song Xiangyun, "Jiaojiao is close to me only when I live here. If I were in the old house, she would not go. She must have Jingyou accompany her."
Qin Xiuming listened without saying a word.
I have to admit that there are far more benefits for Su Jiaojiao to choose Lu Jingyou than to choose him.
At least in the Lu family, the old couple both favor Lu Jingyou, and because of their love for him, they are also particularly partial to Su Jiaojiao.
"It's rare to find such a thoughtful grandma." Song Xiangyun placed the wrapped dumplings in two iron basins. "Let's eat these first. In a few days, we'll make more and let Jiaojiao give them to her employees at the factory as a welfare benefit."
"Yes, that's what I thought." Mrs. Lu looked at the two pots of zongzi, which had about fifty or sixty in them. "Each family can share a few, but it won't be much. Jiahe likes the ones I make the most. The ones he buys outside don't taste as good."
"Grandma, I have an appointment with a friend for dinner, so I won't be back tonight." After hearing this, Qin Xiuming immediately gave up the idea of staying for dinner. He said hello to Mrs. Lu, moved the two pots of rice dumplings into the trunk, and sent them to Song Xiangyun's house. Her house was a bungalow, and a big pot had been set up in the yard, waiting to cook the rice dumplings.
When Ding Linyu learned that Mrs. Lu had moved back, she looked at Su Jiaojiao meaningfully and said, "No need to guess, the old lady must have come for you."
"For me?" Su Jiaojiao smiled. "I didn't break up with Lu Jingyou. We're still dating!"
"It's your business if you're dating. He just wants to get married soon!" Ding Linyu saw it clearly. "In fact, if you're dating for too long, it's better to get married sooner rather than later. Dating is too troublesome."
"How long have you been dating and you're already feeling like it's a hassle..." Su Jiaojiao knew that Wang Hua and Ding Linyu had been in constant contact. "I don't think you need to worry about returning home. You should stay. Not only can Wang Hua not leave you, but I can't leave you either. If you leave, where will I find someone like you?"
"Don't praise me. There are a lot of people like me. The thing the capital has the most is talent." Ding Linyu felt that she was doing everything within her job. On the contrary, she felt that Su Jiaojiao had always been very tolerant of her. Even when she did something wrong, Su Jiaojiao never scolded her.
So she didn't think that Su Jiaojiao couldn't live without her.
"What you can grab in large quantities are talents, not confidants." Su Jiaojiao also played the emotional card, "To me, you are a talent and a confidant. Talents are easy to find, but confidants are hard to find."
"Have you been infected by Marco?" Ding Linyu chuckled. "Don't worry, to me, you're not only my boss but also my good friend. Even if I want to leave, I'll find someone better than me to replace me. I definitely won't quit like Marco."
"Actually, I was also at fault for what happened with Marco." Su Jiaojiao was no longer angry about what happened with Marco. "His desire to stylize the brand was a good suggestion in itself. It was me who valued immediate profits too much. I really didn't think as far ahead as he did."
"He resigned, you didn't kick him out." Ding Linyu had no good impression of Marco Bo. "People like him are inherently difficult to get along with. He's in a twilight state and lovesick, and he's even more fragile than us. Cai Ting almost died of laughter when she heard you hired someone like him. She said if she were there, she would definitely beat Marco Bo up."
The next afternoon, when Su Jiaojiao returned to Jinyuan, Lu Jingyou was already waiting for her on the first floor.
Su Jiaojiao showed him the text message Yu Mingyuan had sent her. Lu Jingyou read it without any reaction and said calmly, "Don't bother with her. My cooperation with Wanzhuo Group is over. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and there will be no further cooperation."
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. I'm worried that she will retaliate against you." Su Jiaojiao looked at him with mixed feelings, "If you go to Yangcheng in the future, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of her." Lu Jingyou smiled and held her in his arms. "If I go to Yangcheng, I will take you with me. I don't dare to go alone."
When Mrs. Lu came out of the kitchen carrying washed fruit, she heard Su Jiaojiao whisper to Lu Jingyou, "Have you ever had such an entanglement with her before?"
The before she was talking about was her previous life.
She and Lu Jingyou still have this tacit understanding.
