Chapter 294 On the Train
It was midnight when the carriage gradually became quiet.
Most people were drowsy, but a few were energetic and talking in low voices. Those crowded in the aisle were simply dozing off while hugging their suitcases.
Various smells filled the air, making it hot and turbid.
Su Jiaojiao was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but the cell phone in her bag kept ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was Lu Jingyou calling. She hung up without thinking and turned the phone to silent mode.
She didn't turn off her phone because she was worried that her mother or someone else would call her again.
Su Jiaojiao didn't sleep well last night and was busy all day today. She felt groggy and had a slight headache, as if she had a cold. She leaned back in her seat and fell asleep in a daze.
Cai Ting was also sleepy and was dozing off. Just as she was about to fall asleep, someone patted her shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and looked up. Standing before her were Lu Jingyou and Wang Hua. Cai Ting was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Cai, come out for a moment. Mr. Lu wants to talk to Su Jiaojiao." Wang Hua whispered to Cai Ting, "Let's go to the next carriage for a while."
"She's very sad right now and doesn't want to see you at all." Cai Ting didn't want to leave Su Jiaojiao. Lu Jingyou said gently, "I know. I came here specifically to apologize to her. It's my fault."
"Can you guys go out and talk?" The sister-in-law sitting in the middle was unhappy. The two men were chatting across her, and she couldn't sleep well.
Cai Ting hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and walked out. After all, they were on the train, and Lu Jingyou wouldn't do anything to Su Jiaojiao. It would be better for them to talk things out.
The two of them stopped at the train station entrance. Wang Hua said, "When we got to the train station, the train had already left. We chased you all the way and finally caught up with you at this station."
"If you're serious, why not just go to Jiao County and wait? Why chase the train?" Cai Ting found it inconceivable. Wang Hua smiled innocently and said, "Mr. Lu knows Su Jiaojiao has been wronged, so he wants to see her sooner and apologize to her."
"What's the use of apologizing?" Cai Ting didn't know what Lin Manli said to Su Jiaojiao, but she knew that it must be words that hurt people's self-esteem.
Wang Hua smiled awkwardly and took out two chocolates from his bag and gave them to her: "You've worked hard, these are a little refreshment."
"No." Cai Ting ignored these sugar-coated bullets.
"Why not? I haven't offended you." Wang Hua stuffed it into her pocket and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a meal when we get to Jiao County."
"I'm not going," Cai Ting said sarcastically. "We ordinary people have no money or power, so how can we dare to ask you to treat us?"
"I'm just an ordinary person." Wang Hua knew that Cai Ting was speaking up for Su Jiaojiao and reminded her, "I'm just a worker. Don't treat me as a class enemy."
"You don't look like an employee." Cai Ting chuckled.
As soon as Cai Ting left, Lu Jingyou sat down next to Su Jiaojiao openly.
Su Jiaojiao was drowsy leaning against the window. She couldn't sleep well at all. As she fell asleep, her head rested on his shoulder. He hugged her and let her lean on his arms. The lights in the carriage were dim and no one noticed them.
Lu Jingyou looked at the girl sleeping in his arms. He wanted her to wake up, but at the same time he didn't want her to wake up. When she was asleep, she could lie peacefully in his arms, but after waking up, she would keep him away.
Especially since his mother said such harsh words and hurt her feelings, she would definitely ignore him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, gently stroking her long, smooth, black hair. She helped him acquire the land, which was originally a very happy thing, but he didn't expect that it would alarm his mother. If he had known this, he would not let her get involved.
He saved a lot of money, but made her suffer so much injustice. And the person who made her suffer injustice was his mother, and he couldn't do anything to his mother...
Lu Jingyou had also taken a train, but he had never taken such a crowded train. He couldn't understand why she didn't buy a plane ticket. He could understand that she had no money before.
But she has money now, so two plane tickets are no problem.
The more Su Jiaojiao slept, the warmer she felt, so warm that she didn't want to wake up. She subconsciously leaned towards that warmth.
It wasn't until the train stopped at a station and someone took a bag from the luggage rack that she woke up. She turned her head and saw Lu Jingyou's face. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen it wrongly. Lu Jingyou smiled at her and said, "Are you awake?"
Su Jiaojiao then realized that most of her body was nestled in his arms. She immediately sat up and moved closer to the window: "What are you doing here?"
The car windows are slightly blue.
It's almost dawn.
"I'm sorry, my mother didn't know the inside story. She shouldn't have come to you and said those words." Lu Jingyou stretched out his arms and hugged her again. "I apologize to you on her behalf. I also apologize to you for making you feel wronged."
"I don't accept the apology!" Su Jiaojiao pushed him away and said coldly, "You helped me, and I helped you. We are even now. From now on, we will go our separate ways and keep out of each other's way."
"No, I'll never be able to repay you for what I owe you." Lu Jingyou looked at her silhouette in the dim light by the window, feeling distressed and guilty. "I promise this won't happen again, Jiaojiao, I know you're sad. You can hit me or scold me, but just don't ignore me."
"Mr. Lu, we're just ordinary friends. Your mother has already misunderstood. Please stop saying things that will make her misunderstand. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the capital in the future." Su Jiaojiao didn't look at him and her attitude was very firm. "As for the follow-up matters of that piece of land, just let Wang Hua come to me to handle it."
As she said that, she stood up and said, "Please move aside, I'm going to the bathroom."
Wang Hua and Cai Ting were still standing at the train door chatting. They had nothing to do, so they started chatting since elementary school and have been chatting until now.
Seeing Su Jiaojiao coming over, the two stopped chatting. Wang Hua hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I'll go see if I can get a sleeper ticket so we can all take a break."
"No need." Su Jiaojiao and Cai Ting said in unison, "We'll get off in just over an hour."
Wang Hua had no choice but to give up and took out his phone to contact Qi Heng, asking him to pick them up at the train station. Qi Heng was half asleep, but when he heard that Lu Jingyou and Wang Hua had come to Qingyuan, he immediately woke up from all sleepiness: "Damn, are you two planning a surprise attack? Wasn't Jingyou still in Yangcheng yesterday?"
"Oh, Xiuming has been brought here by his mother for a while now. Our President Lu is worried, so he came to check on him." Wang Hua had already prepared an explanation, and spoke seriously. "If he's okay, we'll take him back to the capital. The old man has been wanting to see him. It's almost Chinese New Year, and as a grandfather, he wants to see his grandson!"
"Okay, I'll pick you up." Qi Heng agreed immediately, then belatedly asked, "Are you sure it's the train station and not the airport?"
"Yes, it's the train station." Wang Hua reminded him, "Don't go to the airport."
"Strange, why are you taking the train?" Qi Heng still didn't understand. Wang Hua said seriously, "Mr. Qi, trains are the safest means of transportation in the world, and trains..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I won't ask anymore." Qi Heng hung up the phone.
