Chapter 123 Miss Lu, We Meet Again
Following Dou Meijuan's advice, Lu Fengqing first went to the jewelry store to buy a longevity lock, and then went to the department store to buy several sets of small clothes.
These are for the young master of the Zhang family.
Afterwards, Lu Fengqing also bought several sets of clothes for Rui Rui, thinking that Rui Rui would have clothes to change into when she came to the apartment.
After a morning of shopping, they had a lot of goodies. On the way back, Lu Fengqing walked ahead carrying milk tea, while Fang Ning followed behind carrying large and small bags.
Lu Fengqing paused in her steps.
Fang Ning also stopped.
The woman standing in front of them greeted them with a smile, "Miss Lu, it's nice to see you again."
Lu Fengqing called out softly, "Ms. Tang."
Tang Ya's gaze swept over the things in Fang Ning's hands. "I heard that the Zhang family is going to hold a full moon celebration for their grandson. Miss Lu, are these things you're going to send to the Zhang family?"
Lu Fengqing: "Yes."
Tang Ya sighed, "The Zhang family also sent an invitation, but unfortunately my father is in poor health and none of us can make it."
Before Lu Fengqing could speak, Tang Ya continued, "I heard that Old Master Lu's health has been a bit poor lately. My father already felt indebted to you and him because of the Xingzhou incident, and he was very worried after hearing about this. However, he has been unable to visit you due to his illness. Please ask Miss Lu to convey my regards."
"I will pass on Mr. Tang's words." Lu Fengqing didn't want to deal with this woman. "If Ms. Tang has nothing else, we'll be leaving now."
Tang Ya nodded slightly and stepped aside.
Lu Fengqing didn't linger and walked past her without looking at her.
Just as they were about to walk past, Tang Ya suddenly asked, "Will Miss Lu be attending Mr. Xie's birthday banquet in mid-August?"
Lu Fengqing paused, "Yes."
In the past, the Xie family and the Lu family were not familiar with each other, and the Xie family's invitation would not have been sent to the Lu family. But things are different now. Not to mention that Xie Chaowan likes Lu Fengqing, Gu Zhenying will also send the invitation to the Lu family because of Gu Suixing.
It's already early August, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the invitations should arrive in the next couple of days.
"Well," Tang Ya smiled faintly, "we'll see you then."
Lu Fengqing didn't respond, thinking to herself, "Who wants to say goodbye to you?"
As they left the department store, Fang Ning whispered, "That woman made me uncomfortable."
Lu Fengqing asked with a smile, "What's wrong with her?"
Seeing that Lu Fengqing wasn't unhappy and didn't seem to like the woman much, Fang Ning felt relieved and boldly said, "It just feels so fake."
His gentle demeanor was fake, his smile was fake, and he seemed like a mannequin.
Fang Ning said, "Like a villainous woman in a melodramatic prime-time soap opera."
Lu Fengqing smiled.
To the Xie siblings, she was nothing short of a bad woman.
A bad woman who couldn't get the love she wanted.
During her time in J City, Aunt Wan told her a lot about Tang Ya.
For example, Tang Ya was their high school classmate and attended the same university, but they weren't close. The Xie family and the Tang family weren't particularly familiar with each other, and the two families didn't have much contact until one day Tang Ya met Old Madam Xie outside and took her back to the Xie family home. After that, they started to interact a little more.
Later, Madam Xie listened to the words of an old Taoist priest and insisted on having her youngest son marry Tang Ya, no matter how others tried to persuade her. Strangely enough, the old Taoist priest knew a lot about their family, even about how Xie Chao almost fell into a well when he was a child because he was playing. It was because of this that Madam Xie believed him without question.
Xie Chaoyin was not the type to be easily manipulated. She had a big argument with Madam Xie over this matter. Later, in order to avoid Madam Xie and Tang Ya, she even ran away to travel alone for a while. When she returned, she told her family that she had a girl she liked and that she and that girl had made a secret engagement. This made Madam Xie so angry that she fainted.
As the rumors said, Xie Chaoyin disappeared on the wedding day because he didn't want to marry Tang Ya, and Tang Ya went through the entire wedding alone.
Since that day, Xie Chaoyin has never stepped into the Xie residence again. It was fine for a month or two, but it has been like this for more than ten or twenty years. Over the years, not only Xie Chaowan and Madam Xie have argued about this matter, but Xie Chaowan's eldest brother, second brother, and even Mr. Xie have also argued with Madam Xie many times.
Over the years, Madam Xie has actually regretted it in her heart. After all, no matter how good her daughter-in-law is, her son is her own flesh and blood. However, out of consideration for face, and because Tang Ya has been devoted to her for ten years and has not made any mistakes, she is reluctant to send Tang Ya away.
Anyone else would have been unable to endure such a life and would have left without being asked, but Tang Ya is no ordinary person, and her skin is exceptionally thick.
Even without Xie Chaowan's reminder, Lu Fengqing would not have associated with someone like Tang Ya.
Such a patient person, even if she does nothing, should never be considered a kind soul.
Lu Fengqing didn't take meeting Tang Ya to heart, but Fang Ning dutifully sent a message to Gu Suixing about it.
Gu Suixing didn't say anything, only telling Fang Ning to be more careful.
Sooner or later, everyone had to leave. Gu Suixing didn't stay to work overtime today and left on time.
However, as soon as I stepped out of the company gate, I was stopped by someone.
Assistant Fang: "It's Miss Tang Mingyue."
Gu Suixing narrowed his eyes, his face showing displeasure.
Seeing the car stop, Tang Mingyue took the opportunity to shout loudly, "Gu Suixing, I need to talk to you."
This was the second time Tang Mingyue had come to see Gu Suixing since returning to China.
The first time was shortly after she returned to China, when she came to the Gu family to find him and discovered that he and Lu Fengqing had gotten back together. The second time is now.
Several days had passed since she last saw him at the Xie residence. Back then, he had been lukewarm towards her, and she wasn't sure if he would even see her, but she had to meet him no matter what.
