Chapter 123: Mother Lu presents a family heirloom

Su Tang watched Lu Xiao jogging away, then turned around and went home.

She took two days off from the hospital just to get to the bottom of this matter.

As soon as he got home, Lu's mother hurried to greet him. Seeing that Lu's mother seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Su Tang reached out and held her shoulders.

"The person has been found. Lu Xiao is fine. Don't worry, Mom."

After hearing this, Mother Lu finally felt relieved.

Since Su Tang said so, then this matter must be fine.

"I'm sorry, Tangtang. I misunderstood you so much before, but you let it go. It's all my fault."

Hearing her say this, Su Tang shook his head: "Mom, if you say that, it will be too alienating to me."

Su Tang took Lu Ma's arm and led her inside.

"I know you're worried and confused. After all, there was a lot of talk in the family compound at that time. You're right to be worried."

"It's just that we're a family. If we encounter problems in the future, we must be united. I don't care what others say, but I hope that my parents can trust me. Don't you agree?"

At first, when Lu Ma said that to Su Tang, Su Tang was indeed a little unhappy.

She felt that she and Lu Xiao had been together for so long and now they had a child. What his mother said was not a naked lack of trust in her?

But on second thought, Lu Ma's worries are understandable.

Because her situation was very similar to what those people in the family compound had said.

Too much concern causes confusion, too much concern causes confusion, she doesn't blame Lu Ma.

Mother Lu's eyes became hot and she grabbed Su Tang's hand.

"How can you be so sensible, kid? It's just that Mom was confused and got carried away by all that gossip."

"Your dad also told me later that he believed you because you had Lu Xiao in your eyes. It was all Mom's fault."

Seeing Su Tang like this, Lu Ma felt more and more guilty.

Su Tang smiled and waved, then followed Lu Ma to the kitchen.

Seeing her make some brown sugar water and hand it to her, she said thank you.

"Hurry up, drink a bowl of hot sugar water to warm yourself up. You must not have slept well these past two days because you were looking for Lu Xiao." Su Tang took the bowl and looked up to see Lu's mother staring at her. The pity in her eyes was almost overflowing: "Look at you, you are pregnant, why don't you take care of yourself? If anything happens to the child, I, an old woman..."

"Mom, you're saying something harsh again."

Su Tang interrupted her with a smile, scooped up a spoonful of sugar water and blew on it.

"It's still an embryo."

It's just a tiny little thing, I know nothing about it.

Only the elderly in the family treat it as a treasure.

This really made Mother Lu laugh. She reached out and gently touched her belly: "Don't talk nonsense. The child can understand everything."

After laughing, he calmed down again, glanced outside the door, and then lowered his voice, "Actually, I couldn't sleep last night, tossing and turning. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. Those people said you had a bad background, that you... Now that Lu Xiao is in trouble, you want to get away. I actually..."

She stopped talking abruptly here and slapped herself in the face with her hand.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's all my fault! Don't I know what kind of child our Tangtang is?"

If it weren't for Su Tang's status, there was no way Lu Xiao from their family would have been able to marry her.

Professor Su's family has been very kind to their family. It really chills their feelings for her to think that way.

As Su Tang listened, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

She knew that Lu's mother was not a mean person, she was just scared by the current trend.

After all, Lu Xiao's father was almost demoted because of a careless remark, which led to the collapse of his family.

But now is different from before. The policies have been relaxed and many things are slowly moving in a positive direction.

As far as she knew, the days ahead would only get better and better.

"Mom, that's all in the past. I actually understand your concerns."

Mother Lu paused, her eyes reddening even more: "Your love for the Lu family is truer than anyone else's."

"Good boy, Mom has something for you."

She suddenly remembered something and stuffed something into Su Tang's pocket.

"Take this."

Su Tang took it out and saw that it was a jade bracelet.

"Actually, you don't know that the Lu family was once prosperous, but they fled from famine and lost everything. This was given to me by Grandma Lu Xiao, who said it was a family heirloom."

The jade bracelet has a transparent texture, bright color, and is of very good quality. This jade bracelet is estimated to be worth a lot of money.

"It was strictly checked before, so I didn't dare to take it. I hid it secretly. Now I leave it to you."

Mother Lu knew that the Su family was not short of money, and Su Tang probably didn't lack good things like this either.

But this is her intention.

"Mom, this thing is too expensive."

Su Tang was a little hesitant to accept it and wanted to refuse and return it to Lu Ma.

"Take it. If you don't take it, Mom will be angry."

Su Tang looked at the stubbornness in Lu Ma's eyes and knew that further excuses would only make her more uneasy, so she carefully put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

The soft jade felt against her skin. She raised her hand and turned the bracelet, smiling, "Thank you, Mom. This bracelet is so beautiful. It feels like a soft glow has grown on my hand."

Seeing that she was willing to accept it, Mother Lu smiled and reached out to gently touch the edge of the jade bracelet.

"As long as it looks good on you, that's all. This bracelet recognizes its owner. When I first got married, I always felt uncomfortable wearing it, but later, as life got easier, it gradually became comfortable. Now I'm passing it on to you, hoping that you two can also have a smooth and happy life together."

As they were talking, the kitchen door was gently pushed open. Seeing the two of them huddled together to look at the bracelet, Father Lu smiled and joked, "Are you showing off your heirloom? I was wondering what you were looking for when you were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets yesterday."

Mother Lu glared at him angrily: "You're the only one who talks too much."

After saying that, Mother Lu asked Father Lu and Su Tang to go out first.

The two walked into the living room and happened to meet Su's father and mother who had just returned from the county town.

They planned to go to the county town to buy things and see if they could use some connections.

However, as soon as they entered the door, Su Tang told them that Lu Xiao's problem had been resolved.

"Ah? Solved?"

Su Ma was still a little dazed and didn't react. Su Tang nodded: "It's solved, Mom, don't worry."

"Lu Xiao has already found the person behind this, so, with a high probability, he can be solved within the next two days."

After saying this, Su Tang also told the two elderly people that this was all something Lu Xiao had discussed long ago.

In short, the purpose is to lure out the person behind.

"It's OK as long as it's resolved. Then we can rest assured."

Dad Su breathed a sigh of relief.

Both families have only one child. If something happens to one of them, they will really have no way to survive.

Lu Xiao came back in the evening and told Su Tang as soon as he entered the door that this matter was more difficult than before.

"The evidence is complete, but... Liu Er ran away."

"Besides, it involves a bigger thing."

Hearing Lu Xiao say this, Su Tang frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember what Chang Jia and I did when you first came to the family compound?"

"You guys went to catch the cargo theft organization."
