Chapter 277 Don't Leave Regrets
Lin Xiyin frowned immediately: "Why did he see Jingjing? Has he not given up yet?"
“No,” Pei Muyi said; “It was just a meeting…”
"Just a meeting? You make it sound so easy! Jingjing definitely doesn't want to see him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you for help."
"Yes, I know, but he is my brother after all. He only asked me for this one thing, and I can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Jingjing is my sister. You're pushing my sister into this mess for the sake of your brother?"
“It really will only be one meeting,” Pei Muye said. “I can follow him the whole time and guarantee that he won’t do anything to Jingjing.”
Lin Xiyin's impression of Lu Zuofan had long since plummeted, and she felt no sympathy for him whatsoever.
She said, "Go and discuss it with Jingjing. If Jingjing doesn't agree, then you don't need to worry about it."
"Okay, thank you, wife."
Pei Muye then asked her, "Are you feeling unwell today? Can you eat more later?"
"I could have eaten two bowls, but you made me so angry that I'm not hungry now."
Pei Muyi felt he had committed a grave sin, but he still wanted to say something to Lu Zuofan: "He is really different now than before."
"Why should I care if he's the same as before? Anyway, Jingjing doesn't like him. Even if he turns over a new leaf, it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, I was wrong, honey. I won't interfere in his affairs anymore. Eat more at lunch, and when I pick you up this afternoon, you can scold me, okay?"
"Why would I scold you if I had nothing better to do?"
"Because I did something wrong."
"You know it's wrong, but you still do it."
“But I agreed to it.”
"So this is the last time," Lin Xiyin said. "From now on, you don't need to concern yourself with Jingjing's affairs."
After the two ended their call, Pei Muye sent a message to Qu Jingyou.
He asked Qu Jingyou if it was convenient for her to answer the phone.
Qu Jingyou replied directly to him: "Brother-in-law, is there something you need?"
Pei Muye apologized to her first: "Jingjing, I'm sorry, I might need your help with something."
"What kind of help are you offering?" Qu Jingyou asked, surprised. "Why are you apologizing to me?"
"As you know, Lu Zuofan is my brother."
As soon as he mentioned Lu Zuofan, Qu Jingyou fell silent.
Pei Muye cut to the chase: "He wants to see you, so he came to me for help. Jingjing, for my sake, please meet with him and make things clear, okay?"
Qu Jingyou said, "I don't like him like that. I've already told him that before, so what else is there to say?"
“I don’t know what he was going to say either,” Pei Muye said. “But he said it was the last time we’d see each other. Jingjing, for my sake…”
"Okay," Qu Jingyou said. "You guys decide on the time and place, and let me know when you've decided."
Pei Muye quickly said, "Thank you."
Qu Jingyou said, "Brother-in-law, I was just giving you face. I have nothing to do with him and I don't want to have any contact with him in the future."
Pei Muye said, "I know, Jingjing, you can give him a chance. He's really different from before."
"I don't want to find a boyfriend who I can just walk down the street and bump into his ex-girlfriend," Qu Jingyou said. "Besides, I'm petty and can't tolerate a boyfriend who has made so many mistakes."
Pei Muyi knew Lu Zuofan had no chance, so he could only sigh silently: "Okay, there won't be a next time. Thank you this time."
He hung up the phone, asked Lu Zuofan for the time and location, and then sent the information to Qu Jingyou.
He would definitely go then. To be honest, he was afraid that Lu Zuofan might do something rash in the heat of the moment, and Lin Xiyin would kill him then.
Therefore, he had to follow along to ensure Qu Jingyou's safety.
Actually, given Lu Zuofan's abilities, it's not like he couldn't see Qu Jingyou.
But he didn't want to offend her, and he didn't want to use harsh methods.
Around 5 p.m., Pei Muyi picked up Lin Xiyin, and the two went home together.
When they got home, the two were still discussing Lu Zuofan and Qu Jingyou.
After listening for a few moments, Qu Jianhang asked them, "What's wrong with Jingjing?"
Pei Muyi looked at Lin Xiyin: "Can you tell me?"
Lin Xiyin said, "What can't be said?"
Pei Muye then explained the situation.
Qu Jianhang said, "It's not a big deal to meet once; it's good to have things discussed openly."
Pei Muye wanted to say a few good words for Lu Zuofan: "Mom, don't they say a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold? Actually, Lu Zuofan is not a bad person..."
Qu Jianhang smiled and said, "A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, that's certainly true. But there are so many good men in the world, why does Jingjing want to find this prodigal son?"
yes.
With such good qualities, what kind of man couldn't Qu Jingyou find?
Why would someone want to marry a playboy?
Even being a prodigal son is not an option.
Lin Xiyin also said, "That's right, so you shouldn't get involved in this matter in the future."
Pei Muye explained, "I wasn't interfering..."
Qu Jianhang said, "It's okay, it's okay. Who can say for sure about matters of the heart? What if Jingjing falls for him again?"
Pei Muye was quite surprised: "Mom, if Jingjing likes him, you won't object?"
Qu Jianhang smiled and said, "Am I such a pedantic person? Besides, it's not my place to decide what's going on with Jingjing."
That's what they say, but Qu Jianhang's words carry a lot of weight in the Qu family, and everyone dotes on her.
Especially Qu Jingyou's parents, who are Qu Jianhang's older brother and sister-in-law, if Qu Jianhang doesn't object, it will be easier to persuade Qu Jingyou's parents.
Pei Muyi quickly snapped out of his reverie, lost in thought.
Qu Jingyou didn't like Lu Zuofan at all; he was thinking too far ahead.
Lin Xiyin is in good spirits today and ate quite a lot for dinner.
Lu Zuofan and Qu Jingyou met at noon the next day.
Before leaving for work, Lin Xiyin once again instructed Pei Muyi: "Take the person there properly, and then bring them back properly."
Pei Muyi quickly assured him, "I know."
Pei Muye and Qu Jingyou arrived at the agreed place, where Lu Zuofan had already arrived.
When Pei Muye looked at him, compared to the dejected, haggard, and listless man from yesterday, Lu Zuofan today was undoubtedly energetic and handsome, and his bespoke suit made him look even more noble and composed.
Pei Muye secretly wanted them to have a private talk.
But he still asked Qu Jingyou, "Jingjing, do you want me to stay?"
Lu Zuofan looked over with his dark eyes, his gaze pleading.
Qu Jingyou smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you can wait for me outside for a few minutes."
A few minutes.
She only gave Lu Zuofan a few minutes.
Pei Muyi couldn't help either, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll wait for you outside."
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Zuofan one last time, telling him to pray for good luck.
After Pei Muye left, Lu Zuofan quickly spoke up: "Jingjing..."
Qu Jingyou looked at him and said, "President Lu, we're not familiar with each other, so please don't call me that. Just call me by my full name."
Lu Zuofan looked at her, his eyes filled with sorrow: "I know you don't like the past me..."
“I don’t like you now either.” Qu Jingyou said, “There’s really no need to waste your time on me. No matter what you were like in the past, you’re not my type. Okay, Mr. Lu, let me ask you a question.”
Lu Zuofan said, "Ask away."
"In the past, you certainly didn't pursue all of your girlfriends. Quite a few of them were probably thrown at you, right?"
Lu Zuofan managed to say with difficulty, "Yes."
Qu Jingyou said, "Aren't there also those who like you, want to pursue you, but don't like you back?"
Lu Zuofan nodded; "Yes."
“That’s it,” Qu Jingyou said. “If you don’t like someone, you just won’t like them no matter what. Even if someone pursues you, you’ll still get annoyed. Am I right?”
Lu Zuofan could only continue, "Yes."
"So, if you put yourself in my shoes, you'll understand why I rejected you." Qu Jingyou finished speaking: "We're not suitable for each other, not now, and not in the future."
She got up to leave.
Lu Zuofan raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else?"
Lu Zuofan said, "I know I have a criminal record and I don't respect relationships, but that's because I haven't met someone who makes my heart flutter yet."
Qu Jingyou said, "I respect your outlook on life. You may not have anyone who makes your heart flutter, but you can still sleep with them. Many people may think that's nothing, but I might be a bit pretentious. I will only sleep with people I love. So, I'm sorry, no matter what you say, I can't accept you."
“It’s not just because of my criminal record, it’s also because I can’t provide trust and security. If…” Lu Zuofan looked at her, “I’ll transfer all my assets to you. Is that enough sincerity?”
Qu Jingyou blinked: "What did you say?"
“I said, I’m transferring all my assets to you. Whether it’s company shares, real estate, funds, or everything else.”
"I think you're delirious from the fever," Qu Jingyou said. "You don't even know how to speak properly."
“I’m not confused, I’m perfectly clear-headed,” Lu Zuofan said. “I know you’re not short of money, I just wanted to show you my sincerity in this way.”
"Don't be like that, Lu Zuofan," Qu Jingyou said. "Yes, I'm quite surprised to hear you say that, and I can see your sincerity. But so what? If I don't like you, I just don't like you. Even if you give me all your things, I still won't like you."
“I’m not asking you to like me right now,” Lu Zuofan said. “I just want to give myself a chance. I’m transferring my assets to your name in the hopes that you’ll give me a chance to pursue you.”
Now Qu Jingyou refuses to see him and has blocked all his contact methods, naturally disagreeing with his pursuit of her.
Qu Jingyou looked at him and said, "Why are you doing this? Besides, your family definitely won't agree to something this big."
“The assets under my name have nothing to do with my family, and they can’t make decisions about me,” Lu Zuofan said. “I’ll give you all my assets, and all the money I earn in the future will be yours too…”
"What if you've been pursuing me for a while, and I still don't like you?"
“Three months,” Lu Zuofan said. “We’ll set a three-month period. If you still don’t like me, I’ll give up.”
"Why are you doing this..."
"Life is only 30,000 days long. I have already lived a third of it. I don't want to leave any regrets in the remaining years."
