Chapter 70 I Have Never Given Birth to a Daughter as Vain as You
"Is she with someone else?"
Lin Nuo showed a moment of sadness, then nodded, "The other party does have a prominent family background, Professor Lu, you..."
For a moment, Lu Wenxu felt like he was slapped in the face.
When introducing people to partners, both the man and the woman have to consider the introducer's face.
His niece's behavior clearly showed that she didn't take him seriously, and she was his student, and had been in the research group for such a long time. He felt complicated and slightly angry for a moment...
"never mind."
Lu Wenxu was quiet for a while and waved his hand, “Lin Nuo, you go back first.”
"Teacher, the research team..."
"You can continue to stay in the research group. It won't affect your public or private life..."
Lu Wenxu held up his glasses and said, “We’ll talk about it in detail when we have time.”
——
Dinner time.
Lu Wenxu told Chen Lixiu what he saw and heard at school, and asked Lu Miao to come over and describe what he saw and heard that day in detail.
Lu Miao was misunderstood, and now she was finally cleared of the charges. Coupled with the slight resentment in her heart, she couldn't help but exaggerate.
After hearing the details, both of them were shocked. They felt like they almost didn't recognize Mu Jia anymore and their impression of her became worse.
Chen Lixiu was the first to sigh, "After all, Jiajia is from a small town. Seeing the prosperity of a big city, how could she not be tempted?"
"Although she's working in a financial institution, the financial industry hasn't been doing well in the past two years, with salary cuts and layoffs everywhere. With her salary, there's no way she can afford a house that costs tens of millions. Plus, the financial industry is vain, and she's become quite picky. I guess she wouldn't even look down on a decent house..."
Lu Wenxu nodded.
Chen Lixiu glanced at Lu Miao, who was sitting obediently on the sofa next to her. "Maybe she's jealous of Miao Miao. Look, the two sisters never interacted with each other before."
In the past, although Lu Wenxu felt that Mu Jia was a little petty, she was a top student at Peking University and was pretty, so he always felt that she would not be like that.
But when his wife said this, he felt that there was some truth to it.
It is common for people to feel jealous when living in society.
Lu Miao's academic performance wasn't as good as Mu Jia's, but he was able to study abroad at such a young age, thanks to his family's support. Mu Jia, despite his excellent academic performance, was confined to China, and only completed his undergraduate studies before quickly finding employment, which was closely related to his family's financial situation.
The two discussed and found an opportunity to tell Chen Lifang about the matter.
——
weekend.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Wenxu sat on the sofa in the living room and watched his wife dial her sister's number.
He reached out and pressed the hands-free button.
"Hello, Lixiu." Chen Lifang's voice came through the speaker, light and warm. "Calling so early, what's up? Are you and Wenxu doing well lately?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine." Chen Lixiu's voice was slightly tense, but with a subtle, barely noticeable arrogance. "Where are you and your brother-in-law?"
"Zhisheng? He's still the same. He doesn't go to work anymore and stays at home every day, sometimes playing cards... Wenxu got a promotion, so he must be very busy lately, right?"
"good."
After Chen Lixiu said this, the topic changed without a trace. "Miaomiao returned to China recently. No matter how busy he is, he has to take care of his family."
"Miaomiao returned to China? Look, I didn't even know..."
"Yes, she's been dating a local boy recently. He comes from a well-off family and is an international student like her, so they have something in common. His father is a high-ranking official in the Provincial Public Security Bureau."
Chen Lifang hummed softly, and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said carefully, "That's good. Mu Jia and Lin Nuo...are they okay lately? I sent some tea to Lin Nuo a while ago, but he didn't say if it was good. I noticed that Mu Jia hasn't posted any photos of them together on his Moments recently. Are they having a fight?"
A brief silence.
Chen Lixiu glanced at her husband, and Lu Wenxu nodded to encourage her to continue.
"Sister, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you..."
Chen Lifang was startled when she heard her tone, "What's the matter? Is there a problem with Jiajia's work?"
"That's not the case."
Chen Lixiu glanced at her husband and said, "Jia Jia, she and Lin Nuo must have broken up. Jia Jia..."
She sighed.
"This is also Lao Xu's fault. It should be that Jiajia felt that the conditions of the person he introduced were not good enough..."
"What's the meaning."
"Lu Miao said he saw her walking with an old man..."
As soon as these words were spoken, both adults knew what they meant.
Chen Lifang was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he spoke again.
"Thank you for telling me. Lixiu, do you have anything else to do today? If not, I'll hang up first."
Chen Lixiu understood that her sister needed time to act as a buffer.
She quickly said, "Old Lu and I are fine."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lifang went to the bedroom to rest alone without telling her husband.
——
The weather in early spring is sometimes bright and sometimes shrouded in gloom.
Today is a rare cloudy day.
On Saturday, Mu Jia was cooking porridge at home when suddenly a call came in on her cell phone.
She saw the number on the caller ID, was stunned for a moment, but quickly picked up the phone.
"Mom? You need me for something?"
Chen Lifang was silent on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Jia Jia, is everything okay recently?"
Mu Jia had no doubts.
"Everything is fine."
"You and Lin Nuo...are doing well too?"
Mu Jia's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Mom, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Since you asked, I'll be frank," Chen Lifang said in a bad tone, "Your aunt called and said you and Lin Nuo broke up... Tell mom the truth. Are you really like what Old Lu and the others said, despising the poor and loving the rich?"
"Mom," Mu Jia was a little panicked, "I don't know what you heard, but there was a reason why I broke up with Lin Nuo. He..."
Mu Jia had no choice but to find the previously backed up video from his mobile phone and send it to his mother's mobile phone.
The mother watched it for a long time without paying attention to this, but suddenly asked, "How did you get this video?"
"What's going on?"
"This is hotel surveillance footage. Do you know the staff at the hotel he went to? Or did someone give it to you?"
Mu Jia didn't expect that she would focus on this first. For a moment, he couldn't explain it clearly, "Mom, don't worry about this..."
"Jiajia," Chen Lifang said in a serious tone, "Mom will ask you again, are you with a rich man?"
Is Xie Siyan considered a rich man?
Mu Jia knew it clearly.
She had thought before that Chen Lifang and Mu Zhisheng would probably react strongly when they found out that she had broken up with Lin Nuo.
After all, he was the son-in-law they had been waiting for for a long time.
But she didn't expect that she didn't even care about Lin Nuo's cheating, and was only concerned with questioning herself.
For a moment, both sides were silent.
There was a cough on the other end of the phone, and Mu Jia said, "Mom, take care of your health first..."
"I never gave birth to a daughter as vain as you!"
The coughing stopped after a while. Chen Lifang said this and hung up the phone.
