Zhou sighed again: "He has already regretted it, and now he's clinging to Jiaojiao like a mangy dog. Jiaojiao will never forgive him."
"You guys should pull him back, don't let him disgust Jiaojiao."
"We can't pull him back; he's like a mad dog."
"..."
Outside the door, Lu Ziqian listened to his mother and sister's conversation, speechless.
Are these my biological mother and sister?
But when they told him what he had done, it sounded like he was truly wicked and unforgivable!
But he wasn't that wicked. He had never tried to harm Jiao Jiao. He was just blind and confused, always misunderstanding her and causing her to suffer.
He had rushed back day and night, eager to hold her in his arms.
But now, he felt ashamed to face her.
It seems that even bothering her would make him feel guilty!
"Actually, Lao Qi isn't a bad person. He has feelings for Jiao Jiao, but he just doesn't know how to handle his emotions."
"This is also related to his childhood experiences; he didn't know how to love someone."
Zhou's voice came from the room again.
"Mother, please stop making excuses for him."
"Whether he is good or bad in front of outsiders, he is definitely not a good person in front of Jiaojiao."
"It's understandable that Jiaojiao doesn't forgive him."
The mother and daughter's conversation drifted intermittently through the crack in the door. Lu Ziqian stood at the door in a daze for a long, long time before quietly sneaking into Su Yujiao's room late at night.
He sat on the edge of the bed, watching her dark hair spread across the pillow, her peaceful sleeping face the kind of look he loved.
The man couldn't resist giving her a light kiss on her smooth forehead, just a slight touch, not daring to disturb her.
Su Yujiao felt an itch on her head, and just by turning over slightly, she was so frightened that she immediately hid.
He didn't know why he didn't dare to appear openly in front of her, and had to hide like a thief.
Over the next few days, on her way back to Beijing, Su Yujiao always felt that someone was watching her in the dark.
But nothing unusual was found.
Fortunately, they arrived back in the capital safely without incident.
She left the rest to herself, trusting that the Lu family could handle it and would definitely not let those heartless Li family members get away with it.
After Lu Ziqian returned home and received a severe beating, he immediately went to the small courtyard in the east of the city.
Seeing his bruised and swollen face, Su Yujiao asked in surprise, "Who hit you? Are you injured?"
Lu Ziqian awkwardly touched his nose: "Sixth Sister hit him."
Su Yujiao was taken aback; perhaps Weiwei knew about their divorce.
She couldn't help but sneer, "Does Weiwei know about your glorious deeds?"
"I didn't compare you to Li Rongheng, did I?"
"Don't you think you're just as much of a jerk as that person?"
Lu Ziqian said nonchalantly, "Jiaojiao, if you can calm down, then curse a few more times."
Upon hearing this, Su Yujiao stopped scolding.
What are you doing here?
"If you're going to perform a tragic play, then turn right after you leave. There's a theater over there with a lot of audiences."
Lu Ziqian seemed to have gotten used to her sharp and sarcastic remarks; if she spoke to him in a gentle and mild manner, he would feel uncomfortable.
Whether she was sarcastic or veiled in barbs, at least she was still willing to talk to him.
If you don't want to talk to him at all, that's when you'll break down.
"I've come to report the situation to you."
"Also, I brought you a little something."
As the man spoke, he took out a small box from his wide sleeves. Inside was a set of extremely intricate and exquisite jewelry, which was clearly very expensive.
The moment the box was opened, a dazzling and luxurious glittering light emanated from it, so bright it could practically blind anyone, no exaggeration.
A fleeting look of amazement crossed Su Yujiao's eyes; no woman is immune to the allure of jewelry, and she was no exception.
If she had received such a gift three years ago, she would have been so happy she would have woken up laughing in her dreams.
Now, all she feels is appreciation for the jewelry and admiration for its craftsmanship; she has no other superfluous emotions.
"Go back, it's too valuable, I can't accept it. I can't accept something I haven't done right by."
"You saved Sixth Sister's life, and you saved my whole family's life. Isn't that a great deed?"
"Take it. If you don't like it, just give it to one of your servants."
Lu Ziqian handed the box directly to Xiao Tao, who looked bewildered as she held it, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it.
She only came to inform the young lady that dinner was ready, so why did she accept the general's gift?
Just as Su Yujiao was about to refuse, Lu Ziqian suddenly stepped forward, startling her into instinctive defensiveness. She was genuinely afraid that he might hug her at the slightest provocation.
"What are you afraid of? I can't eat you."
Su Yujiao's face flushed slightly, as if she was recalling something she shouldn't have thought of.
He used to say this in bed, and then he would devour her until there wasn't a bone left.
When Lu Ziqian saw her flushed face, he seemed to recall those beautiful moments from the past, which were at least beautiful to him.
The man awkwardly touched his nose: "Don't misunderstand, it means exactly what it says."
"But if you want to..."
Su Yujiao glared at him fiercely, and the man immediately shut up.
"Ahem... Come inside, I need to talk to you about something."
The woman frowned, still wary: "Can't we talk about this here?"
"Are you sure you want to talk about Yangzhou here?"
Xiao Tao looked at the two people who had entered the room and closed the door, feeling somewhat bewildered.
The young lady and the general seemed to have forgotten her... and a box of jewels.
Who can tell her whether to accept this box of jewels or not?
Inside the room, Su Yujiao asked expressionlessly, "How is the Su family doing?"
