Chapter 124 Lu Jingxiao: Mom, please help me
Lu Jingxiao did not take Luo Zhiwei back to the company, but went home instead. Weiwei did not feel anything was wrong and went straight to her room.
The wedding dress that was originally in the living room has been moved to her room, so that she can see her mother's favorite wedding dress every day when she returns to her room.
She sat in front of her wedding dress and murmured softly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I almost lost the jade pendant you cherished most."
"Mom, was that person Gu Hancheng? Did you stop cooperating with the Gu family after you found out his identity?"
"Mom, what should I do? If he really is my dad, then... what should I do?"
How could Luo Zhiwei not care? She longed for genuine fatherly love. However, given the Gu family's current situation, they would not welcome her.
Perhaps, she is destined to never have a father's love or enjoy the care from him in her life.
Luo Zhiwei, without anyone noticing, took the jade pendant, leaned against her wedding dress, and fell asleep.
It wasn't until dark that Wang Ma came upstairs to call her for dinner: "Miss Luo, dinner is ready."
She originally wanted to refuse outright, saying she couldn't eat and could just get some glucose intravenously later.
But... looking at Wang Ma's hopeful eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Whether I eat or not, I should go downstairs and see what's going on, at least... have dinner with Lu Jingxiao.
However, just as she reached the top of the stairs, she heard Lu Jingxiao lower his voice...
"Mom, I'm begging you, please don't scare Weiwei. She's too easily frightened right now."
"Oh dear, I haven't won her over yet. Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is definitely not going to run away."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She froze on the spot, unsure whether to go upstairs or downstairs.
Why is Lu Jingxiao's mother here?
That's true. Lu Jingxiao is different from her. Lu Jingxiao has a mother. It's not wrong for a mother to worry about her child and come to check on him.
However, her situation was somewhat awkward... The mother and son were reunited, and it was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to stay here.
Luo Zhiwei was just about to turn around and go upstairs when she thought, "Why don't I come down later? I'm not going to eat anything anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'm downstairs or not."
"Miss Luo, come down and have dinner with us."
Why did this girl go straight upstairs after seeing her?
Am I that scary?
When Luo Zhiwei was called to a stop, her turning motion froze on the spot. Helpless, she could only turn around awkwardly, slowly walk downstairs, and stand at the top of the stairs.
She stood there, hesitated for a moment, but then mustered her courage and stepped forward to greet her respectfully: "Hello, Aunt Lu."
Lu Jingxiao's mother, Bai Wenyu, looked at Luo Zhiwei with a loving expression and gently beckoned her to come to her side.
Luo Zhiwei felt a little uneasy, and she subconsciously glanced at Lu Jingxiao.
Lu Jingxiao smiled slightly, but he still tried to ease Luo Zhiwei's embarrassment by saying, "Mom, don't scare her."
Bai Wenyu: "..."
Is this still his biological son?
Is that really the case?
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
That's enough.
Luo Zhiwei could only manage a forced smile: "Auntie, it's been a long time."
When she was dating Lu Jingxiao, she had met Auntie at school and even had a meal together, but... so many years have passed, and they have hardly seen each other.
Also... it was she who broke up with Lu Jingxiao back then. As a mother, she probably couldn't accept the fact that her son was dumped by a girl.
It's normal to not have a good impression of girls.
However, despite living in the capital with Lu Jingxiao's mother for so many years, they rarely met, and even when they did meet, they wouldn't say anything to each other.
All things considered... Lu Jingxiao's mother gave her plenty of respect.
"Good child, you've been staying here recently. Has that rascal Lu Jingxiao been bullying you? If he has, tell Auntie and Auntie will teach him a lesson."
Lu Jingxiao: "???"
Is she still her biological mother?
Luo Zhiwei didn't know what to say for a moment. She just nodded obediently and said, "President Lu... he's been very good to me. He hasn't bullied me."
Mr. Lu?
Bai Wenxin's brow twitched. She was still calling him "President Lu."
My son won't do either.
It's been so long and I still haven't won over Luo Zhiwei.
Neither of them, as parents, interfered; they had always tacitly approved. Unexpectedly, things haven't been settled yet, and the two haven't even gotten married. Is their son's speed... learned from a snail?
It seems that in crucial moments, you still need your mother's encouragement.
Bai Wenyu held Luo Zhiwei's hand affectionately, a smile playing on his lips: "Weiwei, you don't need to be so reserved. This is your home now. What you and my son have to do is your own business, and your uncle won't interfere."
"However, you also know how my son feels about you. In the future... if you want to think about dating again, why not consider my son instead?"
At this moment, the mother was like a peddler, boasting about her own wares: "My son is alright in all aspects, at least... overall he's not bad."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
If Lu Jingxiao can only be described as "generally okay," then what about the others? Are they just "just passable"?
She didn't reply.
I don't even know if she'll ever fall in love or get married again in this lifetime.
Perhaps after divorcing Brother Gu, she will be alone forever.
Seeing that Luo Zhiwei didn't answer, Bai Wenyu didn't press her. She smiled and eased the awkwardness: "Weiwei, don't feel pressured. Let's eat first. I'm starving."
It's already 7 pm, those two young people really have no sense of time at all.
Luo Zhiwei quickly stood up and looked at Bai Wenyu apologetically: "Auntie, you and President Lu eat, I can't eat anymore, so I'll go upstairs first."
She originally thought that Lu Jingxiao was eating alone, so she came down to keep him company. She had experienced the loneliness of eating alone before, and she didn't want Lu Jingxiao to experience it as well, knowing that she was the only one eating alone.
But now, with his aunt by his side, Lu Jingxiao won't be lonely.
Lu Jingxiao, however, did not intend to let her leave. Instead, he grabbed her hand and said gently, "Sit down and have something to eat too."
Luo Zhiwei instinctively refused: "I won't..."
“I know you can’t eat much, but you can sit with us in case you want to try any of the dishes.”
Last time, she was promised a 10,000 yuan raise for every bite she took, but she didn't eat a single bite, which left her feeling very frustrated.
Bai Wenyu also noticed that Luo Zhiwei was acting strangely, and she quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong, Weiwei?"
Lu Jingxiao then honestly told everything, feeling extremely melancholy.
Bai Wenyu was heartbroken upon hearing this. She punched him twice, scolding him, "How could you take such good care of someone? Weiwei has developed anorexia. Why didn't you tell me something so important?"
Lu Jingxiao willingly accepted it: "It's my fault. I'm trying to find a solution, Mom. Please help me."
Bai Wenyu: "..."
I just came to take a look; I didn't say there was such an important mission.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiwei's eyes widened immediately: "..."
What's the meaning?
Before she could figure it out, Bai Wenyu sighed and said, "I'll call your dad in a bit and tell him that I'll stay here to take care of Weiwei for a while until she has her meal, then I'll go back."
Luo Zhiwei quickly refused, "No need, Auntie, I'm fine. It's just a psychological issue. I... I'll be fine soon."
There's no need to stay here!
