70 070 Mother and Daughter Reconciliation
◎Auction.◎
Ren Lu nodded and said, "I was just guessing. She ran away from home this time probably because of the news online that you and Dad had a conflict. She was probably thinking about the two of you, so it's possible that she left."
"You're right, I mentioned it to her..."
After Jiang Xiu thought about it carefully, he immediately gave the name of the place. The group started looking again and finally found her in a small coffee shop that Jiang Xiu mentioned.
Lu Siyue was sitting in the corner, wearing a hat and a mask. If she wasn't a relative who lived with her day and night, no one would have recognized her.
Jiang Xiu told her that this was the place where her parents often sat when they were dating. Because it was near the corner, it was not easy to be discovered, but they were afraid that the paparazzi would take photos of their date.
And the way she is dressed now is exactly imitating the way they were hiding from reporters at that time, covering herself up tightly for fear of being recognized.
"Yueyue, I finally found you." The moment Jiang Xiu saw her, a hint of joy flashed across his face and he shouted excitedly.
When Lu Siyue looked up and saw Jiang Xiu pushing the door open, her first reaction was to stand up and run towards the back door.
But as soon as she rushed out, she was blocked by Ren Lu.
"Don't run away, little sister."
"You can't stop me!" Lu Siyue glanced at her and finally decided that her slender sister-in-law was definitely not as flexible as her. After all, she was young, and high school students had to do exercises every day to stay healthy. Ren Lu was definitely not as good as her.
Ren Lu knew this of course, but she didn't give up and simply changed the subject to dissuade him.
"There might be reporters taking pictures right now. If your mom chases you and someone takes pictures of you and posts them online, it will be really embarrassing."
Sure enough, when Lu Siyue heard this, she immediately hesitated.
Jiang Xiu had also rushed over. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood opposite each other and surrounded her. The aunt and the driver who came with them also followed behind them, forming a double-team around her, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Let's go home, okay?" Jiang Xiu approached cautiously and asked in a soft voice.
Lu Siyue nodded and got into the car cooperatively.
"Yueyue, you saw the news online, but you can't believe it all. Your father and I did have some problems at work, but everything else is fine. You will always be our daughter, and we want to do everything we can to give you the best."
Jiang Xiu and Lu Siyue were sitting in the back seat. As soon as they got in the car, she began to comfort them in a soft voice, and it was obvious that she was a kindest mother.
Ren Lu couldn't help but shook her head after listening to Jiang Xiu's white lie.
This is a stopgap measure, but it can only conceal the truth for a while, not forever.
Jiang Xiu already wanted to divorce Lu Hui. It was estimated that after Lu Siyue finished the college entrance examination, the relationship between the couple would completely break down in public. I'm sure Lu Siyue would make a fuss again at that time.
However, Lu Siyue was not so easy to coax. On the contrary, after Jiang Xiu said this, she became even more agitated.
"Mom, are you still lying at this time? Stop the car, I want to get out, I don't want to ride in the same car with a liar!" She turned her head, looked at Jiang Xiu with anger, and slammed the car door.
The driver was frightened by her action and was afraid that she would jump out of the car, so he quickly locked the car doors.
"Miss, this is a main road and you cannot park your car at will," the driver explained quickly.
Jiang Xiu hurriedly grabbed her hand, but Lu Siyue shook it off.
"How did Mom lie to you? Would you rather believe those people on the Internet than what I said? Do we need others to judge the relationship between your dad and I?" Jiang Xiu didn't dare to hold her back anymore, and just asked anxiously.
"You're lying again. Dad said it himself, are you judging her randomly?" Lu Siyue was obviously completely enraged and exposed her directly with a cold face.
This time it was Jiang Xiu who was at a loss. "Did your father tell you? How could he be talking nonsense? If he had any dissatisfaction, he could have told me. Why would he tell such nonsense to a child like you?"
"He's just angry. Angry that I took the company away from him. I'll coax him later and he'll be fine. He won't—"
Lu Siyue crossed her arms and looked at her coldly, already refusing to communicate.
"I called him. I was going to call you, but you seemed too busy and didn't answer. He didn't want to tell me at first, saying that it was a matter between adults and they would handle it and asked me not to interfere. But I kept asking, and he finally told me."
"I don't understand what happened between you two. Why were you so sweet last week, but this week you're at war with each other? But I want to say that when it comes to me, Dad is more honest than you. He didn't lie to me, but you still treat me like a child. Even at this time, you still try every possible means to lie to me."
"You taught me since I was a kid that when someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, you can refuse to answer, but you can't lie. But now you've repeatedly broken your words. It turns out that adults also have double standards, but you're just better at disguising yourself."
It has to be said that Lu Siyue's eloquence has improved a lot. At least at this moment, she did not throw a hysterical temper or yell like an emotional wreck. Instead, she argued with Jiang Xiu in a logical and well-founded manner, and even directly caught her weakness, putting herself in an invincible position with clear logic.
These few words left Jiang Xiu speechless. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
"Uncle Qin, please find a place to park. I don't want to ride with an adult who loves to lie." Lu Siyue didn't give her a chance to refute and directly said that she wanted to get off the car.
"Miss, there are too many people here, it's not convenient--" The driver wanted to make an excuse.
But before he could finish his words, Jiang Xiu interrupted him: "Listen to her."
Soon, the car stopped and Lu Siyue pretended to get out, but was stopped by Jiang Xiu.
"I'll go out, you stay in the car." After saying this, she opened the car door and got out.
Ren Lu adjusted the rearview mirror and looked at Lu Siyue in the mirror.
"What are you looking at? Do you think I did something wrong?" Lu Siyue felt a little uncomfortable and said unhappily.
"I didn't think about it that way. I just wanted to see how you were doing. You feel uncomfortable and think you did something wrong, right?" Ren Lu began to analyze her inner thoughts.
"I don't think so." She continued to be stubborn.
Having said that, she still couldn't help but look towards the rear window. After looking, her brows furrowed, obviously looking for Jiang Xiu.
"Hey, it looks like it's hard to get a taxi at this time. The son is injured, and the mother is heartbroken. I just wonder if these heartless people will feel pain when the mother is injured." Ren Lu sighed and deliberately spoke in a provocative tone.
Sure enough, when Lu Siyue heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy.
"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to blackmail me?"
"What moral kidnapping? Little sister, I was just expressing my feelings. Are you so overbearing now? Can't I even speak?"
"No, I can't bear to hear it."
"If you don't like it, get off the bus!"
Jiang Xiu's mind was in a mess. The words her daughter had just said to her in the car were like a curse, echoing in her ears over and over again, penetrating into her internal organs and making her unable to move.
She didn't take a taxi, but just walked aimlessly on the sidewalk.
But the coming and going of traffic made her even more irritated, so she found a seat beside a flower bed and stared blankly with an expressionless face.
"Mom, what are you doing sitting here?" Lu Siyue walked back and saw Jiang Xiu sitting alone, looking a little pitiful. Her heart suddenly ached.
"Why are you here? Is there a problem with your car?" Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment when he saw her, then became worried.
"There was nothing wrong with the car. I had an argument with my sister-in-law. I was annoyed with her, so I got off the car."
Jiang Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally smiled bitterly in helplessness.
"Why are you still angry with Lulu, kid? When you skipped school before, didn't you ask her to take you out to play? Why are you being angry again now?"
Lu Siyue replied without thinking: "Who is dating her?"
After saying this, he felt embarrassed and softened his voice: "She must have deliberately provoked me just now, wanting me to get off the car and accompany you."
"Then let's take a taxi." Jiang Xiu wanted to stand up, but because he had been sitting for too long, he couldn't get up and sat back down.
It was Lu Siyue who stepped forward and pulled her up.
"Let's just walk around and take a walk."
When Ren Lu finished drinking a cup of tea in the old house, the mother and daughter came back. The atmosphere seemed very warm and it was obvious that they had reconciled.
"Yueyue, I have asked for leave for you. You don't have to go to school tomorrow. Is there any place you want to go? I will take you there." Jiang Xiu once again resumed her gentle motherly appearance and was very understanding.
Lu Siyue felt a little embarrassed: "No, it's the final sprint before the college entrance examination. I missed a day, which is not good. I'll go to class tomorrow."
"No need. You usually have such good grades, it's rare for you to relax. You can also go out and play with your sister-in-law. I see Lulu has been playing a lot of tricks recently."
Ren Lu was browsing her phone with her head down. When she heard herself being cueed, she immediately looked up.
"Mom, who told you that I've been having a lot of fun recently? Is someone talking nonsense?"
"When I said you have many tricks, I didn't mean you can play a lot. Don't be so nervous. It's good to have more fun while you are young. What do you have to do tomorrow? If you don't have anything to do, why not take Si Yue with you?"
Ren Lu's gaze turned to Lu Siyue. The little girl looked at her but didn't look away. She just looked back at her quietly. Of course, for her, this already showed that she really wanted to go.
"Sure. There will be an auction tomorrow with a wide variety of items, including jewelry, antiques, and cruise ships. You can then buy a set of jewelry for Yueyue for fun." Ren Lu nodded. She had just made the decision to attend the event, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring one more person with her.
"You come too, one set per person, mom will pay the bill." Jiang Xiu said very generously.
"There are too many jewels. I don't need them. I want a cruise ship." Ren Lu shook the promotional picture on her phone.
Jiang Xiu paused for half a second, still nodded: "Shoot, I'll reimburse you."
Although the cruise is expensive, her daughter-in-law has finally asked her for it, so she must satisfy her request and would not back down halfway.
Ren Lu waved her hand and said, "Mom, you have a lot of money to spend lately, let's talk about it later. I have a lot of money recently, and I am going to accompany my little sister to the auction, so you can't take the credit."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Ren Lu waved at Lu Siyue, and when she sat down, she handed her the phone.
"This is the jewelry category. Take a look and see if you like anything. However, the brochure currently on display is not complete. Many good items will only be officially revealed when the auction begins."
Lu Siyue checked carefully and soon found something wrong.
"Huh? This blogger is called Xu Shiqing, what a familiar name! Who is it? It's right on the tip of my tongue." Lu Siyue scratched his head, looking somewhat unwilling.
"You're the one who appeared on a couple variety show with me and your brother." Ren Lu reminded her.
"Oh yeah, that internet celebrity couple! Are they going tomorrow too?"
Ren Lu nodded: "The official preview of the auction only has pictures, which is not as detailed as her introduction. You can take a look first."
Lu Siyue lowered her head, fixed her gaze on the phone screen again, and pressed the play button.
"Sisters, I'm going to attend a large auction tomorrow. There will be jewelry, antiques, private jets, cruise ships, etc. I won't participate in the latter big items. I will focus on jewelry. According to the preview, there are so many exquisite and beautiful ones that I am almost dazzled. Hongyu said that he would help me get at least one of them. What should I choose..."
Lu Siyue was halfway through reading when she suddenly pressed the pause button, raised her head, and looked at her with eyes wide open.
"What's that expression on your face? What's wrong? She suddenly posted scary pictures?"
"It's not a scary picture, but why didn't you delete the video before showing it to me? It contains scenes that are not suitable for children!"
Lu Siyue pushed the screen forward as she spoke. The paused scene was the one where Peng Hongyu came over and kissed Xu Shiqing mouth to mouth.
It can be seen from the picture that Peng Hongyu should have just got up. His shirt is just loosely on his body, with no buttons fastened, and his abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen.
"Just focus on the main points and skip those things. They are couple bloggers, so of course they have to show their affection more. This is their job." Ren Lu was not surprised.
This video of Xu Shiqing is very popular. It shows both wealth and affection in all aspects. It shows that she is very good at using the Internet.
"Besides, you're an adult, and it's not like you haven't been kissed before." Ren Lu saw her disgusted look and felt really itchy, so she couldn't help teasing her.
As expected, Lu Siyue immediately protested and even pretended to throw the phone over.
Ren Lu didn't even try to dodge, but just laughed at her softly.
"I'm going to tell mom that you're corrupting me."
"You're an adult already, yet you still complain. No wonder mom treats you like a child!" Ren Lu sneered and stabbed her without hesitation.
"You are so annoying! You don't act like an adult at all, but more like a naughty child." Lu Siyue couldn't help but accuse.
***
Today's charity auction was held on a luxury cruise ship. All the guests were dressed in their best clothes. After boarding the ship, they first followed the waiter to tour the interior of the cruise ship, and then came to the lobby.
As dusk fell, the cruise ship became the last pearl on the sea that refused to go out. The sound of the piano came from the gaps of the champagne tower, and the Persian carpet under my feet still had a gentle wrapping feeling through the soles of my shoes.
Through the hanging window, Ren Lu saw the pitch-black sea outside. It was extremely cold and freezing, which was completely different from the atmosphere inside the cruise ship.
She couldn't help but sigh that the life of luxury was so good, no wonder it would make people addicted.
"Is that Mrs. Lu?"
"Which Mrs. Lu?"
"Ren Lu, the one who had an online war with her father-in-law on Weibo, also sent Huo Shao to jail. He is still under investigation."
"It turned out to be her."
