Finally, Chen Jing spoke.
Bai Qingqing quietly pulled Lu Ziyang's sleeve to show her grievance.
Lu Ziyang really had a headache.
"Okay, stop talking. I brought Qingqing here. Didn't you say today is my birthday? Can everyone have a good meal?"
When Lu's mother saw that her son was still defending another woman in front of Chen Jing, she was so angry that she couldn't eat a single bite and slammed the chopsticks on the table.
Chen Jing didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of herself, so she wanted to finish the meal quickly and go home early.
"Mom, don't be angry, eat quickly, the food here is so delicious, it would be a shame if it gets cold~"
Chen Jing picked up some food for the two elders while acting like a spoiled child, which made Lu's father and mother feel soft-hearted.
"We have to be quiet."
Seeing that her little trick didn't work, Bai Qingqing could only pin her hopes on Lu Ziyang.
"Brother Ziyang, I don't mean anything else. I just feel sorry for you because my sister-in-law didn't even prepare a gift for you."
The girl looks pitiful, with tears in her big eyes. Anyone who sees her would want to love her.
However, at the entire dinner table, only Lu Ziyang was somewhat moved, while the other three people did not react at all.
Lu Ziyang softened his tone and coaxed the girl gently.
"I know you mean well, don't think too much about it. I like your gift very much, and that's enough."
When Lu's mother heard her son say such nonsense in front of Chen Jing, she glared at him.
Father Lu couldn't bear it any longer. "Lu Ziyang, do you know what you are saying? Do you even care about your own wife?"
Dad Lu didn't understand. He had always taught Lu Ziyang strictly, so why did his son become like this?
Lu Ziyang turned his head to glance at Chen Jing and saw that the woman was still eating her food indifferently, without any feeling at all.
His inexplicable anger rose again.
"Dad, today is my birthday. Qingqing is the one I brought here, so of course I have to take good care of her!"
Lu Ziyang spoke righteously and sternly, without any guilt.
Seeing that Lu Ziyang was willing to defend her in front of Lu's father and mother, Bai Qingqing pretended to be magnanimous and sensible.
"Brother Ziyang, it's all because of me that your family's dinner was disrupted. I think I'd better leave."
As she said this, she stood up and was about to leave, but the nostalgia in her eyes was deeper than anyone else's.
She seemed to have predicted that Lu Ziyang would definitely try to keep her, so she acted very determined.
Sure enough, when Lu Ziyang saw the girl get up and leave, he pulled her back with his big hand.
"You don't have to leave. Sit down and have a good meal."
The tone was irresistible.
Dad Lu: Lu Ziyang!
Chen Jing was already tired of this. From the time she entered the door to the time she sat down, it was only half an hour, but to her it felt like a century.
It just so happened that she had eaten her fill and the atmosphere was set, so she could leave.
Chen Jing picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, then spoke calmly,
"It's okay, I'll just leave."
As she said that she stood up and picked up her bag.
Seeing this, Lu Ma was a little flustered.
"Jingjing, why are you leaving? You should be sitting here!"
These words were undoubtedly a reminder to Bai Qingqing that she was the one who should leave.
Chen Jing didn't want to watch another drama. Lu Ziyang looked at her viciously from time to time.
Isn't it just telling myself to leave quickly!?
She is not a tactless person.
"Mom, Dad, I know you've been thinking about me and trying to ease the relationship between me and Lu Ziyang, but you've seen today that we can't go back."
Lu Ziyang, "Chen Jing! What are you talking about?"
Lu Ziyang was really panicked. He didn't expect Chen Jing to confess in front of her parents. This meant that she really didn't intend to leave any way out for them. How could he not panic?
Holding Bai Qingqing's hand, it was trembling a little.
Chen Jing ignored the man's roar and continued,
"Actually, Mom and Dad have figured it out a long time ago, right? But to save our reputation, they never pointed it out. But the situation is what it is now, and I don't think it will change much. Lu Ziyang and I are destined to be together. If Mom and Dad still care about me a little bit, please persuade him to divorce me as soon as possible and stop disturbing my life."
………………
Empty-handed seemed to be stagnant,
No one spoke for a long time.
Lu Ziyang lowered his head, his voice trembling.
"Chen Jing, are you really..."
"I think I've made myself clear, Lu Ziyang. I always mean what I say."
Chen Jing bowed slightly to Lu's father and mother and left.
Before leaving, she heard Lu's father say to her,
"It's our Lu family. We're sorry!"
Chen Jing just smiled slightly with her back to him and did not stop walking.
Lu Ziyang wanted to rush out to stop her and ask her why she was so determined. Was it just because of Bai Qingqing? He had clearly explained it all.
He just didn't understand that people's hearts don't turn cold overnight.
After Chen Jing left, the atmosphere in the private room became frighteningly cold. Sun Yun waited outside the door the whole time. When he saw his wife coming out with a smile on her face, he had a bad feeling.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Mr. Lu. He insisted on bringing Bai Qingqing here. Isn’t this obviously embarrassing his wife?
Sun Yun thought that Lu Ziyang was a smart man, but what he did was really... stupid!
"Are you satisfied now, Miss Bai?"
Mother Lu had a cold face, and her kindness was gone, replaced by a noble temperament and aloofness.
Bai Qingqing was personally called out, and she responded with gritted teeth.
"Auntie, this is not what I meant."
Lu Ma was used to seeing these women's tricks, and it was really unbearable.
"You were raised by the Bai family, but these methods, if I may be frank, are really not very clever. Only I, a blind son, can't see it."
"Auntie, I,"
"You interrupted the elders before they even finished speaking. Is this what you learned abroad?"
"Before, if Hope hadn't gotten married, I would have turned a blind eye to you following him around. After all, Zi Yang said he only treated you as a younger sister, and the Bai family and ours had business dealings before, so we weren't strangers. But now Zi Yang is married, and as soon as you returned to China, you tore them apart. Do you ever feel the slightest bit of guilt?"
Mrs. Lu said this without any mercy.
Bai Qingqing's face turned pale and tears as big as beans fell down.
"Auntie, that's not the case. I just treat Brother Ziyang as my brother."
Mother Lu: "Whether he is my brother or not, I know it very well. Ziyang's father and I have lived to such an age that we are not blind to others. Miss Bai, you have your own brother, don't you? Then please stay away from our Ziyang family and don't claim to be a relative casually. Also, please call me Mrs. Lu from now on. Miss Bai and I are not that familiar."
