Chapter 157 Lu Qingqing X Meng Yaozhu: Meng's Mother Comes to Find Lu Qingqing
She squeezed the orange in her hand so hard it burst, and juice dripped all over her hand.
"Mom, I'm sorry. We've broken up."
She was prepared for Ms. Jiang to be angry.
After waiting a few minutes, I heard a sigh.
"Girl, are you happy with Xiao Xu?"
The deer remained silent.
"Alright, alright. I can tell you're uncomfortable with Xiao Xu. At first, I was worried that no one would take care of you after I left, so I forced you to be with Xiao Xu. But recently I've come to terms with it. My daughter is so capable, traveling all over the country at such a young age. She's going to be a war correspondent in the future, and she can take great care of herself. Why should I make things difficult for you?"
Lu looked up slightly in surprise, her lips moving slightly: "Mom..."
"Alright, alright, I won't force you anymore. Live the way you like. As long as you're happy, Mom will be happy."
Tears quickly blurred Lu Qingqing's vision.
Ms. Jiang was craving Longjing shrimp, so Lu Qingqing went to the market to buy the necessary ingredients to cook at home.
As soon as she came out of the market, two male bodyguards wearing sunglasses stopped her: "Miss Lu, right?"
The deer took a few steps back cautiously and asked, "Who are you?"
"Please come with us, someone wants to see you."
"I don't know you, I'm not going." The deer gently walked around them and headed in another direction.
One of the bodyguards grabbed his arm and said in a tone that left no room for negotiation, "Someone wants to see you."
Lu Qingqing got angry and tried to shake her arm off a few times, but instead of shaking it off, she hurt her arm: "You didn't say who wanted to see me. Why should I go with you?"
"Are you going to forcibly take me away in broad daylight?"
"You can try," two bodyguards said arrogantly as they came to arrest her.
Lu gently swayed the sack of vegetables in her hand, calling out, "Help! Someone's kidnapping a woman! Help!"
There were many people at the entrance of the market, and her shout attracted a lot of attention, with people pointing and whispering about them.
The bodyguard, not wanting to attract attention, attempted to kidnap the person.
"Let her go!" A man rushed over, holding a piece of wood he had picked up from the roadside, and gently shielded the deer behind him: "I've already called the police, you dare to come and try!"
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the two bodyguards exchanged a glance, got into their car, and drove away.
Only after their car disappeared from sight did Xu Xiao throw away the wooden stick he was clutching tightly and turn around to ask, "Qingqing, are you alright?"
Lu Qingqing was surprised that Xu Xiao would suddenly appear, and looked him up and down with a complicated expression: "I'm fine, you... have you been following me the whole time?"
Xu Xiao lowered his eyes: "I knew you were avoiding me, so I stayed at the hospital and saw you. I wanted to talk to you, so I followed you."
Lu sighed softly, "Why bother? Haven't we already made things clear?"
Xu Xiao: "I don't want to give up."
Lu Qingqing said helplessly, "Thank you just now."
Xu Xiao asked, "Do you know those people? Why did they want to take you away?"
"I don't know them, and I don't know what they want to do?"
If Xu Xiao hadn't suddenly rushed over, she almost dialed the police with her hand in her bag.
She thought about it carefully and realized that she hadn't offended anyone recently, so the arrival of those two bodyguards was quite unexpected.
"Qingqing, let me take you home."
Lu Qingqing didn't refuse, and Xu Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After arriving home, Lu gently unbuckled her seatbelt, thought for a moment, and said, "Xu Xiao, let's not see each other again."
Xu Xiao asked anxiously, "Did I bother you? I didn't mean to follow you, I..."
"Xu Xiao, you are a very good person. I can never repay the sincerity you have given me."
Xu Xiao said in a low voice, "You feel that my sincerity is a burden you want to repay. Is it because you don't like me? Do you not like me because you still have Mr. Meng in your heart?"
Lu's fingertips trembled slightly as she turned to look at him.
Her eyes held a panic that she herself didn't realize was due to someone having seen through her thoughts.
Xu Xiao saw it clearly and gave a wry smile: "I understand, Qingqing. Take good care of yourself from now on. Meeting you was a wonderful thing."
Lu got out of the car gently, looked in the direction Xu Xiao had left, and silently said, "Goodbye, Xu Xiao."
To her surprise, she ran into the two bodyguards again the next day.
Before the argument started, someone got out of a car parked by the roadside and said, "Miss Lu, it's me who wants to see you."
...
In a stylish teahouse, the private rooms are filled with the gentle smoke of incense, and the surroundings are elegantly and luxuriously decorated.
The waiter placed a glass of clear tea in front of Lu Qingqing. The rich aroma of the tea was enough to prove how good it was.
Lu Qingqing had no interest in drinking tea whatsoever. She looked at the woman opposite her who was sipping tea and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why are you here to see me?"
The woman gently skimmed the foam off the surface of the tea: "I am Meng Yaozhu's mother."
The deer paused slightly, stunned.
Mencius' mother skimmed off the tea foam but showed no intention of drinking it, as if the person opposite her was not worth having a cup of tea with.
"You should know very well why I'm looking for you."
Lu gently concealed her surprise and smiled, "I don't know."
Mencius' mother placed the teacup on the table with a light, clear "clink": "Playing dumb is pointless. You seduced my son, do you think I shouldn't come to you?"
Lu felt a surge of anger rising in her head.
Honestly, you can say she seduced anyone, but she never seduced Meng Yaozhu.
I silently repeated to myself several times: The other person is an elderly person, I must respect them, I must respect them.
Forcibly suppressing his anger: "You're wrong. I haven't seduced anyone. And my relationship with your son is completely innocent!"
“I understand what you young girls are thinking. You just don’t want to work hard and want to take shortcuts, which I can understand. My Meng family doesn’t necessarily care about family background when choosing a wife, but you’ve gotten someone else’s child and you’re trying to seduce my son. You’re really lacking in self-awareness, especially since my son already has a fiancée. I can give you some money. Take it and stay far away from my son.”
The contempt, disdain, and sarcasm in his words were palpable.
Enough is enough! There's no need to endure it any longer!
Lu chuckled softly, "I'll say it again, I didn't seduce Meng Yaozhu, and whether he has a fiancée or not has nothing to do with me. Since you're so nosy, why don't you go and tell your son to stop bothering me?"
Mencius' mother was stunned for a moment, not expecting her daughter to speak to her like that. After realizing what she had said, she was furious: "Do you know who you're talking to? I'm talking to you nicely, don't be stubborn!"
"Speak politely? Starting yesterday, you first had your bodyguards forcibly abduct me, and today every word you uttered was barbed. I, Lu Qingqing, am a civilized person, but my politeness is only reserved for people who are as polite as I am. I have nothing to say to you."
The deer gently got up to leave.
"Stop right there!" Mother Meng stood up, pointed at her, and her voice became shrill with anger: "Have you thought about the consequences of offending the Meng family?"
