Chapter 271 A Girl from the Countryside
"Aunt, who is the girl next to my cousin?" The little girl sitting in the passenger seat followed Lin Manli's gaze. The lights on the street were flickering, and she couldn't see the girl's eyebrows clearly, but she could tell that she had a good figure and was taller than her.
"I don't know her either." Lin Manli retracted her gaze and started the car. "I only know that your cousin has a close relationship with a girl named Su Jiaojiao. It looks like this is her. Jasmine, don't tell anyone else, especially Xuewei. Wait until I find out more about this girl."
"What does this Su Jiaojiao do?" Bai Moli fastened her seat belt and took another look at the Yuelai Hotel. The Yuelai Hotel was considered a mid-range hotel on this street, costing fifty or sixty yuan a night. She was very curious about Su Jiaojiao's identity.
"I heard she's a freshman at Peking University." Lin Manli also glanced at the Yuelai Hotel and said as she drove, "Although Su Jiaojiao has good grades, she is from the countryside after all. I don't look down on people from the countryside, but your cousin shouldn't have a girlfriend from the countryside."
"Maybe they are just ordinary friends?" Bai Moli didn't believe that her cousin would give up a beauty like Yan Xuewei and fall in love with a girl from the countryside?
"I'd rather believe they're just ordinary friends." The anonymous letter only said that Lu Jingyou was in close contact with a rural girl named Su Jiao, and that Su Jiaojiao was a freshman at Peking University. It didn't say anything else, so Lin Manli could only investigate on her own. "But in all these years, your cousin has never been this close to any girl. You saw it just now. It doesn't look like they've known each other for just a day or two. They must have met in Jiao County."
Girls from small places are very smart.
Su Jiaojiao will definitely not let go of a rich son-in-law like Lu Jingyou easily.
"No wonder my cousin has been running to Jiao County so often these past two years. Could it be for Su Jiaojiao?" Bai Moli found it increasingly unbelievable. "Aunt, I always felt that a serious man like my cousin wouldn't do such things for a girl."
Bai Moli is also a freshman this year. She missed the chance to be admitted to Peking University by two points and went to the neighboring University of Finance and Economics.
She is seven years younger than Lu Jingyou. Although they did not grow up together, Lin Manli and her mother Lin Manling are sisters, so they often see each other.
In my impression, Lu Jingyou is a typical straight man of science and engineering, who was raised in a very well-behaved way by Mr. Lu. He rarely speaks when relatives get together.
Her mother Lin Manling also said that her cousin was spoiled by the Lu family. He has been like a little adult since he was young. Now that he is so old, he can't even have a relationship.
Now, Bai Moli was shocked when she suddenly saw Lu Jingyou shopping with a girl. Was this still her serious cousin?
She hadn't even seen Lu Jingyou and Yan Xuewei shopping together!
"Over the years, your cousin has been away from home all the time, and he doesn't spend much time with me. When we do meet, we don't have much to talk about." Lin Manli doesn't have a daughter, and she has always treated Bai Moli as her own. "Everything else is easy to deal with, but his marriage is the only important matter. I can't let him do whatever he wants. The Lu family is different now."
Before, Lu Jingyou was the only child of the Lu family. No matter what he did, Mr. Lu would never blame him and always trained him as his successor.
Things are different now. Now that Qin Xiuming is back, they are both his grandsons, so Mr. Lu can't help but compare the two of them.
Besides, Qin Xiuming is very good at pleasing the old man and the old lady. He is sweet-talking and knows how to deal with people.
It is said that even if he is not in the capital, he will call the old man and the old lady every day to ask about their well-being. Now the old man and the old lady do not go out at night, just waiting for Qin Xiuming's call.
Lu Jingyou was different. As soon as he went out, there was no news from him.
Never call unless necessary.
It was the old man and the old lady who called him.
"Then what should we do?" Bai Moli didn't treat herself as an outsider. "Let's talk to that Su Jiaojiao?"
"Let's observe for a while first." Lin Manli didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter. It would be better to solve it quietly. Since Su Jiaojiao is a student of Peking University, she will have a good job in the future. Why does she have to pester Lu Jingyou?
"Aunt, I have classmates at Peking University. I'm sure I can find out about Su Jiaojiao." Bai Moli was confident about such matters. "I don't believe it. She still has the nerve to pester my cousin even after our family came to her door!"
She hates girls like this the most.
Girls like this always want to change their fate by climbing up the social ladder, but unfortunately they don’t know that the high branch of the Lu family is not so easy to climb.
"You can ask around, but don't make this known to everyone. After all, Peking University is your cousin's alma mater. It won't reflect well on him." Lin Manli repeatedly warned, "Don't let Yan Xuewei know."
"Don't worry, auntie. I know what I'm doing." Bai Moli knew that the Lu family was very concerned about their reputation, so she just needed to convey Lin Manli's intentions to Su Jiaojiao.
Since Su Jiaojiao was able to be admitted to Peking University, it shows that her comprehension ability is still fine.
You should understand the most basic principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.
The next morning, Wang Hua came as soon as Su Jiaojiao got up. He said that Lu Jingyou asked him to come and help her with her luggage and take her to school to report.
After entering the campus, she asked Wang Hua to wait for her at the dormitory building first. She took her admission letter and ID card to the new student registration office of the School of Economics to fill out a few forms. After filling out the forms, she went back to the dormitory building.
There is a big sign in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory building: No entry for boys!
Wang Hua couldn't go in to help her with the luggage, so he had to wait for her in the car.
Two male volunteers helped carry the luggage upstairs. Su Jiaojiao's dormitory was on the third floor, and she had a lot of stuff, including bedding, a suitcase, and some scattered daily necessities.
Two male volunteers helped her carry the luggage twice before they were able to get it into the dormitory.
The dormitory has eight bunk beds for six people. The two extra upper bunks are used for luggage. There are two tables and a few chairs in the middle of the dormitory. It is very crowded.
Su Jiaojiao arrived first. She chose a lower bunk near the window and called Wang Hua to ask him to go back because she had to clean up the dormitory.
The weather is a bit stuffy.
The window was open, but there was no wind at all.
Su Jiaojiao broke into a sweat as she made the bedding. Before everyone had arrived, she had already put the suitcase under the bed. After everyone had chosen their beds, she would spread the other things on top.
The roommates came in one after another. Everyone greeted each other politely and made their beds quietly. Except for Su Jiaojiao and the girl with short hair on the bed opposite, the other four girls were accompanied by their mothers.
Mothers came in and out to help make the beds.
The girl with short hair arrived later than Su Jiaojiao, but she made the bed at the same time as Su Jiaojiao. Su Jiaojiao was surprised that she didn't even put up a mattress. She just put a thin mattress on the wooden bed and then covered it with a sheet.
Seeing that the mothers were still busy, she took the initiative to greet Su Jiaojiao: "Hi, classmate, let's go out for dinner!"
Su Jiaojiao readily agreed.
When they went downstairs, the two introduced themselves. The girl with short hair was called Tang Ling. She was lively and cheerful. Her family was also from another place. Because she was busy at home, she came here by train alone.
After the meal, the two of them had become familiar with each other.
After dinner, they had nothing to do, so they strolled around the campus before returning to the dormitory. The people in the dormitory said that there would be a meeting in the campus in the afternoon and asked them not to go out again.
Thinking about the upcoming military training, Su Jiaojiao thought about folding tofu block quilts...
