"No!" Su Yueya quickly denied, her face flushed red. She was flustered and couldn't speak clearly, afraid that Qiao Xinruo would continue to overthink things, so she quickly tried to appease her!
"Xinruo, I didn't mean that! I absolutely never thought that way!"
How could she possibly think that the Qiao family was not respectable?
“I just didn’t want to cause you and Dad any trouble! I came to school to graduate as soon as possible so I could work in the hospital. I didn’t intend to cause so much trouble, and I didn’t want anyone to know about my relationship with you. I just felt it was unnecessary…”
“Sister, it’s not that you’re causing trouble, it’s that you’re too outstanding and arouse jealousy, so others are deliberately picking on you,” Qiao Xinruo said.
He was just pretending to be wronged; that was all a lie to Su Yueya.
Qiao Xinruo couldn't quite explain her own quirky sense of humor, but she really enjoyed teasing this older sister, especially when she saw her sister frantically trying to comfort her, which made her feel quite pleased.
She could easily get her sister to comfort her with just a few words.
How fun!
I didn't do enough to comfort my older sister when she was little, so it's not too much to comfort her more now, is it?
After all, she's the younger sister!
As for Su Yueya's thoughts, Qiao Xinruo understood them but did not agree with them.
"The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. If you are too outstanding and too dazzling, you will attract trouble. Today it's Ma Xiaoxiao, tomorrow it may be Zhang Xiaoxiao or Wang Xiaoxiao. And these inexplicable malices will only hinder your progress."
Even if you want to keep a low profile, others won't allow it.
"So revealing your identity at this time is actually a good thing, because it can at least filter out some people who want to mess with you."
"Knowing that you are the dean's daughter, they'll have to think twice before trying to smear you."
"Sister, we are not abusing our power. We just happen to have this identity and are making reasonable use of it."
Qiao Xinruo was once a brilliant young genius, and the malice she encountered was no less than what Su Yueya is enduring now.
However, she has always had her family by her side and the love from them, which gave her enough confidence, so she has never been afraid of rumors or malice.
Now that Su Yueya is encountering these bad things, Qiao Xinruo wants to protect her.
Let Su Yueya know that she is definitely not alone in facing this.
"Um……"
After listening to Qiao Xinruo's words, Su Yueya pondered for a moment.
My sister is right!
She's clearly the older sister, so why doesn't she think things through as clearly as her younger sister?
"You're right, Xinruo, I'll listen to you!"
Besides, it's too late now. It'll probably be a while before everyone knows that Su Yueya is the dean's daughter.
Since we can't change it, we should accept it calmly and not worry about it for even a second longer.
In the afternoon, the results and holiday arrangements will be announced.
Su Yueya unsurprisingly came in first place, and as expected, many classmates kept asking her about her identity...
As for Ma Xiaoxiao's cheating scandal and the rumors surrounding Ma Xiaoxiao and Du Lanxin, the final punishment will be announced at the start of the next semester.
Today was already busy with grades and holiday arrangements, and the supervisor didn't have time to decide how to handle the punishment.
As Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo walked out of the school gate, Lu Zhengjun came to greet them.
"Crescent Moon, get in the car." Lu Zhengjun nodded to Qiao Xinruo when he saw her there.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
She pretended not to see Lu Zhengjun and pulled Su Yueya to the back of the line.
"Sister, sit in the back with me, I'm scared to sit alone in the back." Qiao Xinruo said shamelessly, forcing Su Yueya to ignore the passenger door that Lu Zhengjun had opened.
Lu Zhengjun: "..." What a scaredy-cat!
Su Yueya: "..."
Why is my sister still so resistant to Lu Zhengjun?
Once in the car, Qiao Xinruo kept talking to Su Yueya, not giving Lu Zhengjun a chance to interrupt. He wanted to ask his wife how her exam went, but he couldn't find the opportunity!
Upon arriving at the family compound, Lu Zhengjun drove directly to the Qiao family's residence.
It was agreed beforehand that Su Yueya would have dinner with the Qiao family on the day she finished her exam, and Lu Zhengjun could of course come along as well.
Once inside the Qiao family residence, Lu Zhengjun found it even harder to get a word in edgewise when speaking to Su Yueya.
Su Yueya: "..."
She wasn't blind; she had already seen that Lu Zhengjun wanted to talk to her, but Qiao Xinruo and Liu Yuying also kept her talking.
"Crescent Moon, Mom bought some fruit. I'll go cut some up and bring it out." Liu Yuying entered the kitchen with a beaming smile.
"Xinruo, that book I mentioned wanting last time, didn't you say it was in Dad's study? Could you find it for me first?" Su Yueya asked proactively, "assigning" her a task.
"Yes, yes, I remember, I'll go get it for you right away."
Qiao Hanxue and his two brothers hadn't arrived home yet, so Su Yueya sent her mother and sister away. Now she could finally talk to her husband.
Lu Zhengjun, a grown man, appears strong on the surface, but inside he's practically breaking down with grievances.
He knew that competing for favor wouldn't be easy!
But Su Yueya's action of sending Liu Yuying and Qiao Xinruo away greatly comforted his heart, which had been wounded and broken since the school gate.
My wife is so good!
His wife still spoils him!
"Crescent Moon, how did your exam go?"
"I'm number one." Su Yueya said with a touch of pride.
"That's amazing!" Lu Zhengjun's praise was genuine. He had been a little worried, since the hospitalization had delayed him for almost half a month.
"Of course! By the way, when we eat together later, let's mention the idea of our two families eating together during the Spring Festival," Su Yueya said.
She thought, what if Lu Zhengjun brings it up first, but the Qiao family doesn't respond? Wouldn't that be very awkward?
However, Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui are both very good people, and they are very good in-laws. Su Yueya also likes them very much.
So she took the initiative to suggest it.
The Qiao family may not give Lu Zhengjun face, but they probably won't disrespect themselves.
As a bridge, she had to mediate between them.
Ideally, her family should accept Lu Zhengjun as soon as possible, since she has already decided to continue living with him.
She also needs to work hard to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere.
"I'll speak first, and then you can follow along, okay?"
Lu Zhengjun held Su Yueya's hand in his palm, smiling tenderly.
How could he not know what Su Yueya was thinking?
To be honest, Lu Zhengjun was pleasantly surprised.
He thought that Su Yueya would be "awkward" with him for a long time after regaining her memory, but unexpectedly, he encountered a family reunion event as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. The Qiao family's "resistance" to him actually pushed Su Yueya closer to him.
Is this a case of him turning misfortune into blessing?
"Okay, whatever you say."
"But... what if your parents, siblings, and other family members are not willing?" Lu Zhengjun asked calmly, sipping his tea.
Just because Xu Qiaoxin is afraid of sitting alone in the back seat, does that mean he can't worry about being disliked by her and the Lu family?
"I will persuade them, don't worry, I definitely won't make things difficult for you and your in-laws!" Su Yueya said earnestly.
