As she spoke, Qiao Zhen put a few more bites of food on Lu Zheng's plate.
The two of them were so affectionate, they looked like a young couple deeply in love.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao was very satisfied and then smiled and said, "I don't have any wishes in my life. I just hope that my daughter can find someone suitable for her and live a peaceful and happy life."
In this situation, even a fool would understand what Mrs. Qiao meant by saying such things.
Seeing this, a hint of panic flashed across Qiao Zhen's face, but Lu Zheng next to her smiled and said, "Auntie is right, it's time for Qiao Zhen to find her own happiness."
Mrs. Qiao smiled broadly: "Look at what you're saying, is there even a need to look for it?"
It's an obvious fact right in front of us.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen, who was standing to the side, showed an embarrassed expression and quickly lowered her head.
"You silly child, I only mentioned it briefly, why are you shy now?"
Seeing Qiao's mother's cheerful expression, Qiao Zhen forced herself to smile and agree, "Why did you bring this up again? Didn't I already say before that I don't want to get married yet?"
Hearing this, Qiao's mother looked a little embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't force you if you don't want to get married, just don't miss out on the good men around you."
Hearing her mother's pointed words, Qiao Zhen forced herself not to understand and maintained a forced smile.
After Lu Zheng arrived, Qiao Zhen lost her appetite and made an excuse that she was full and wanted to go back.
Chom gave Lu Zheng a wink, and Lu Zheng immediately stood up obediently, then said, "Let's go back together."
"No need, I have something to do outside."
Seeing that Lu Zheng wanted to use this opportunity to force Qiao Zhen to ride back in his car, Qiao Zhen immediately made an excuse to refuse.
After saying that, Qiao Zhen opened the door and was about to leave.
Lu Zheng, however, persisted and followed, unwilling to give up, saying, "Where are you going? I'll take you."
"No."
Qiao Zhen wanted to refuse with a dark face, but seeing her mother watching the two of them from a distance, she suppressed her anger.
Lu Zheng is indeed very adept at navigating the business world; even after experiencing something like this, he can still pretend that nothing happened.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but Qiao Zhen didn't dare to show her emotions in front of her mother. She could only take a deep breath and say, "Don't you still have work to do at the company? Why don't you go back to the company and do your work first?"
As she spoke, Qiao Zhen looked up and met Lu Zheng's eyes directly, giving him a complicated look.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng's eyes flashed with an uncertain light, but he gently took Qiao Zhen's hand.
What are you doing?
Qiao Zhen was a little anxious. Suppressing her irritation, she asked in a low voice.
On the surface, however, he pretended to be calm for fear of being discovered by Qiao's mother.
"You've been working too hard lately. How about I take you to get some treatment?"
As he spoke, Lu Zheng gently rubbed his hand against Qiao Zhen's palm, making Qiao Zhen's head itch.
"No need." Qiao Zhen frowned, and just as she was about to break free from Lu Zheng's hand, she found that he was holding on even tighter.
"Your mother is watching from behind. If you're going to put on an act, at least go all the way."
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Qiao Zhen was startled and then silently reduced the strength she was about to use to struggle.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng was very satisfied, and then took her hand and got into the car.
After Qiao Zhen got into the car, she watched her mother's face get smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror before she gradually let down her guard.
"Could you please have less contact with my mother in the future?"
She still had her own selfish motives. If that thing really came to pass, what he needed to do was to distance himself from Qiao's mother as much as possible before that happened.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lu Zheng smiled and retorted, "My mother-in-law treats me so well, how could I possibly have little contact with her?"
"Heh." Qiao Zhen sneered, then said impatiently, "Since that's the case, you should know best what your mother-in-law hates. So I'd like you to prove yourself quickly and not become the person your mother-in-law hates the most."
Lu Zheng suppressed his smile and asked in an almost serious tone, "Qiao Zhen, didn't you ever have any doubts about this? You trust Gu Xijue that much?"
Qiao Zhen met his eyes directly: "The evidence is irrefutable. If you want to refute it, why don't you produce the evidence?"
"Evidence?" Lu Zheng retorted, his tone laced with a hint of sneer. "What kind of evidence do you want? I never prove that I didn't do something."
Qiao Zhen took it as an excuse and sneered, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. If you really didn't do it, you should have produced evidence to refute it long ago."
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng shook his head upon hearing this: "Qiao Zhen, if I were to prove to you that I didn't do it according to your idea, I wouldn't gain your trust. It would only make you more suspicious and prompt you to search for real evidence. In the end, you still wouldn't believe me."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen remained silent.
She didn't expect Lu Zheng to say that.
but.
Qiao Zhen had to admit that Lu Zheng's words did make sense.
However, faced with the irrefutable evidence before him, Qiao Zhen was not confident in completely believing him and simply nodded in response.
“I can set aside my stance on anything else, but not on this.”
Joe responded with silence.
"We've arrived, get off the bus."
Lu Zheng turned off the engine and gestured for Qiao Zhen to get out of the car.
Qiao Zhen remained in the car without moving.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Are you going to stay in the car?"
"I'm moving out."
Qiao Zhen's tone was very firm, as if she had already made up her mind.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng remained silent for a moment before saying, "No."
