Chapter 147: Green tea with bad intentions!
Jiang Weilong paused as he gripped the steering wheel, then pursed his lips. He snorted softly and replied in disbelief, "You actually suspect the address I gave you is fake? How is that possible?"
To cover up his guilty conscience, he feigned anger and added, "Su Mengxue, do you care about Gu Yunting so much? You'd rather wrongly accuse me than believe he'll change his mind? Besides, who do you think I am? How could I, Jiang Weilong, do such a thing?"
When Su Mengxue heard the anger in Jiang Weilong's words, she stopped talking, but the doubts and suspicions in her heart did not decrease, but became heavier.
Because compared to Jiang Weilong, she trusts Gu Yunting more. She believes that Gu Yunting cares about her. Not to mention such a short time, even if the time is longer, Gu Yunting will not forget her. It is not that she is confident, but that Gu Yunting is a loyal person.
She thought that after she returned, she would write another letter to Gu Yunting, asking him why he didn't reply to her, and at the same time tell him about the marriage registration, including the matter of recognizing relatives.
After the car stopped at Zhouji Tailor Shop, Su Mengxue got out and Jiang Weilong drove away quickly.
She knew that Jiang Weilong was angry, but her suspicion of him remained unchanged. She thought that if she didn't receive a reply from Gu Yunting in a few days, she would go to the army to ask Lin Wenbin for his address. In short, she would not just keep waiting like this.
Time passed by in a flash. A few days later, Su Mengxue packed her luggage and was about to leave Zhouji Tailor Shop. Before leaving, the master tailor specifically reminded her to come back to see him often and to improve her skills and not to be lazy. In addition, if she regretted wanting to go to a fashion college in the future, he would be willing to help her. He also gave her a bundle and asked her to look at it after she got home.
Su Mengxue was afraid that it was something valuable and refused to accept it. However, the old master repeatedly told her that if she refused to accept it, he would be treating her as an outsider. After a stalemate, Su Mengxue had no choice but to accept the bag.
The old master walked her all the way to the door, but he stood there and refused to go in. She didn't see the old master again until the car drove away and turned a corner. On the way to Lu's house, she felt very uncomfortable. The old master was one of the few people who treated her well since she came to this era.
She looked down at the bundle in her hand and opened it carefully. There was a notebook inside. The paper cover had faded a long time ago and the corners were badly curled. Not only that, the paper inside the notebook was also old and yellowed, and it was obvious that it was very old.
She gently opened the notebook, which was filled with densely packed knowledge about cutting. What was even more rare was that the master craftsman had marked all the important parts on it.
Su Mengxue was quickly attracted by the contents on the paper. She carefully turned the pages one by one. The more she read, the more precious it seemed to her. She could tell that it contained the master's lifelong learning and valuable experience accumulated over the years.
Especially when she turned to the back and saw the handwriting with ink still wet, her heart suddenly tightened. This must be what the old master knew she was about to leave here, and wrote it specifically for her to see.
Su Mengxue's eyes immediately turned red. She closed the notebook and picked up the cloth under the notebook. She shook out the pieces of fine silk cloth, but before she had time to look at them carefully, she saw a cowhide envelope fall out of it.
Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. When she opened the leather envelope, it was just as she expected. There were two hundred yuan and some food coupons and cloth coupons inside.
At this moment, she thought of the old master's reluctant eyes and his old, hunched figure, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Soon she burst into tears.
Of course, Lu Zhi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was aware of her mood at the moment. He didn't say anything, but was moved to tears.
When the car stopped safely, Su Mengxue saw Zhou Huizhen and Lu Xin waiting at the door. After seeing Lu Xin, Su Mengxue thought of what she had done and said before, and felt a little annoyed.
But after all, Lu Xin has been with Lu Zhi and Zhou Hui for so many years, especially during the years when the original owner was not with them. She brought them comfort and sustenance. In addition, she also wanted to go to the island to join the army. When she is not around, they will not be too lonely with Lu Xin by their side.
She then thought that although Lu Xin had some small thoughts, she was just afraid that her return would affect her status, or she was afraid of going back to the countryside. Thinking this way, she was too lazy to argue with her anymore.
As soon as she got off the car with her luggage, Lu Zhi quickly walked to her side, took the luggage from her hand, and was reluctant to let her carry anything.
Lu Xin naturally noticed this small detail. In the past, Lu Zhi had done these things to her. Now that Su Mengxue appeared out of nowhere, she felt very uncomfortable.
Zhou Huizhen's attention was all on Su Mengxue, and she didn't notice the jealousy and anger in Lu Xin's eyes. After Su Mengxue got off the car, she quickly walked over to her, put her arm around her, and couldn't suppress a smile in her eyes: "My daughter, you're finally home."
At this time, Lu Xin also walked over. She smiled at Su Mengxue and said, "Sister, my parents and I finally got you here. It will be more lively to have you at home. You look so thin. You must not be getting enough nutrition. This time I was afraid that my parents would not be used to the water and food here, so I brought the malted milk and Hongbao orange juice that we often eat in Shanghai, as well as the most famous osmanthus cake in Shanghai. When you come into the house, try them. If you like them, I'll ask our driver to buy more when we return to Shanghai."
Su Mengxue curled the corners of her lips slightly. She naturally understood Lu Xin's little thoughts. She was secretly showing off her status and superiority in this family to her.
Before she could say anything, Lu Xin added, "Sister, the sheets and quilt covers in your room are all new. Mom and I went to the department store yesterday to buy them. It's just that the patterns and styles here are far inferior to those in Shanghai, so I can only let you go for now. When we get to Shanghai, I'll give you two sets of the silk quilts Mom gave me, so you can sleep more comfortably."
"Also, if you have any other needs, just tell me. Don't be shy or embarrassed. Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
As soon as the words fell, Su Mengxue raised her eyebrows and replied calmly: "Sister, this is my own home, I have nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, although you are not my parents' biological daughter, you have lived in this family for so many years and have been filial to them on my behalf. You are not a servant, so how can I trouble you for everything? Now that I am back, you don't have to worry so much."
"Also, I grew up in the countryside, so I'm not picky about what I eat and drink."
After she finished speaking, she paused deliberately before adding, "Oh, sister, I remember Mom and Dad said you were from the countryside too. We can talk to Mom and Dad about interesting things in the countryside later. However, although you were born in the countryside and have lived there for so many years, I see that you are quite particular about food and drink. I wonder if you still remember the people and things in the countryside?"
