Chapter 380 The tacit understanding between two people
The sound of the door opening outside rang out on time.
Su Jiaojiao knew that Cai Ting and the others had returned, so she nudged him and said, "I'm going to make dumplings. Do you want to stay and eat with me, or go home?"
"Let's go out for dinner!" Lu Jingyou suggested. He just wanted to be with her and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else.
"It's too cold outside. I don't want to go out." Su Jiaojiao just wanted to eat and go to bed quickly.
Lu Jingyou then stood up and said, "Then I'll stay for dinner."
When he returned home, he would play chess and chat with his grandfather.
Of course he would rather be with her.
"Jingjiao, Linyu is having dinner with her classmates tonight. What are we having for dinner?" Cai Ting didn't notice the men's shoes at the door and shouted as soon as she entered. "Oh, her classmate is so nice. She picked me up and dropped me off. She told me to tell you that she'll be back late tonight."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou walking out of the bedroom, and her face instantly turned red: "Boss Lu is here..."
If she had known Lu Jingyou was there, she should have gone out to dinner with Ding Linyu.
I became a third wheel without realizing it.
"Hello, long time no see." Lu Jingyou greeted Cai Ting with a smile. He had a good impression of Cai Ting, a very hardworking girl.
"I've prepared the dough and meat filling. We're having dumplings tonight." Su Jiaojiao went to the kitchen with a normal expression and brought out the mixed dough and meat filling. "I was thinking of waiting for Linyu to come back and mix the filling, but she's not coming back, so you should do it!"
"Okay..." Cai Ting, still feeling awkward, went to the kitchen to mix the stuffing. Lu Jingyou, on the other hand, sat down on the sofa and said to Su Jiaojiao, "I don't know how to make dumplings, but I can learn."
"Then go home and learn how to make dumplings, then come over here. I don't want an apprentice here." In front of Cai Ting, Su Jiaojiao didn't have the interest to teach him how to make dumplings, which was quite embarrassing.
Cai Ting prepared the dumpling filling and brought it out. They were used to making dumplings in the living room while watching TV. When she heard the two of them talking, she didn't know what to say and just smiled awkwardly.
"Then I'll go back to my room and sleep." Lu Jingyou felt that he was redundant and went back to the bedroom tactfully.
"Jingjiao, you guys..." Cai Ting asked her in a voice that only they could hear, "Are you guys that close?"
She knew that the two were still in contact, but she never thought that they were so close that they slept in the same room.
Is this progressing too fast?
"Don't overthink it, nothing happened." Seeing Cai Ting's serious expression, Su Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I know my limits."
Lu Jingyou didn't mean that either.
The most they do when they are together is kiss and hug, and they have a tacit understanding on this point.
"When you go out, you still have to protect yourself." Cai Ting originally had a good impression of Lu Jingyou, but since she met his mother, her impression of Lu Jingyou has been greatly reduced.
No one can stand having a mother-in-law hanging around all day long!
In fact, deep down in her heart, she did not want Su Jiaojiao to marry Lu Jingyou. She and Ding Linyu both knew Su Jiaojiao's strength. Even if she did not marry Lu Jingyou, Su Jiaojiao's future was bright.
"I understand." Su Jiaojiao knew what Cai Ting was thinking, but her feelings were beyond her control. She originally thought that she would keep her heart closed to love for the rest of her life and would not be moved by anyone.
But she felt very secure when she was with Lu Jingyou, and she liked this feeling. As for what Cai Ting said, that could only be discussed later.
Lu Jingyou didn't fall asleep even after returning to his bedroom. Instead, he kept answering phone calls. They were all looking for him about family matters and company matters.
The dumplings were cooked, but he was still on the phone. Su Jiaojiao came in and called him to eat, so he hung up the phone, turned on silent mode, and came out to eat.
It was the first time that Cai Ting had dinner with Lu Jingyou, and she felt extremely embarrassed. When she was working as a waitress at China Travel Service, although she often saw Lu Jingyou, at that time she only saw them coming in and out from afar and they had no intersection.
Now, eating face to face with him, she felt uncomfortable. Su Jiaojiao noticed Cai Ting's discomfort and calmly found a topic to chat with her: "My mom came last time and said that the China Travel Service had invited drama actors to perform, and there were face-changing performances and things like that. It was much more lively than before."
"They really did!" Cai Ting became interested. "When I was here before, they said they would, but they never did because they said it would be too expensive."
"Next time we go back, let's go check it out together." Lu Jingyou understood and said to Cai Ting, "Manager Zhang from your housekeeping department called me a while ago and invited me to attend the tenth anniversary celebration. Unfortunately, we didn't have time."
"It's actually the tenth anniversary." Cai Ting sighed.
"The dumplings tonight are delicious, very much like the taste of domestic travel." Lu Jingyou ate quite a bit, dipping them in mashed garlic. Cai Ting smiled sheepishly, "As long as Mr. Lu likes them."
After dinner, the three of them sat down to drink tea and chat.
Cai Ting hated Chang Yuan so much that she said their staff kept hanging around in front of the Millennium Caicai and Millennium Fufu stores every other day, and said that if they did so again, they would call the police.
"What's going on?" Lu Jingyou asked Su Jiaojiao, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"It's not too late to tell you now, but Changyuan is your partner's shop..." Su Jiaojiao coughed lightly, "Do you think I'm slandering your partner?"
"Yu Mingjie actually dared to embarrass you like this?" Lu Jingyou was very surprised. He was cooperating with the Yu family in real estate business. What did it have to do with Su Jiaojiao?
"What do you think?" Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "To be precise, it was you who caused Peach Blossom to embarrass me. If you can't handle this matter well, I won't show any mercy."
Cai Ting realized that she had said something wrong, so she immediately changed the subject and talked about Jiao County.
Lu Jingyou has been in Jiao County for more than three years and is more familiar with some places than Su Jiaojiao. He even went to Cai Ting's hometown and said that he was impressed by the beautiful scenery when he passed by there.
When talking about her hometown, Cai Ting was no longer embarrassed. For the first time ever, she told Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou a lot about their hometown.
The three of them chatted until after nine o'clock before Lu Jingyou stood up and said goodbye.
I have to leave because the phone calls from the old house keep urging me to leave.
Lin Manli didn't have the habit of reading the Capital Evening News. It was only when her colleagues mentioned it that she learned that Lu Jiahe had ordered a batch of floral shirts from Su Jiaojiao as disco uniforms, and that they had even been featured in the evening paper.
Mr. Lu had just been discharged from the hospital, and she didn't dare to provoke him, so she went to the old house to tell Mrs. Lu about the Blue Island Exchange: "Jiahe is old, and he still does such a thing. He is not afraid of being laughed at and even reported in the newspaper."
He knew clearly that she disliked men wearing flowered shirts, but not only did he not listen, he used it as a team uniform.
It turns out that the two men around her were won over by Su Jiaojiao, so what is she?
"He's doing this to boost Blue Island Club's popularity, right?" Old Mrs. Lu, wearing reading glasses and reading the newspaper intently, said disapprovingly, "I'll talk to Jiahe when he comes back. He needs to be more restrained as he gets older. It's not good for his health."
As she spoke, she looked at her watch: "Didn't Jingyou come back from the outskirts of Beijing? Why hasn't he come home yet?"
"I just called him, he should be back soon." Lin Manli looked at the time with mixed feelings. Needless to say, Lu Jingyou must have gone to find Su Jiaojiao.
Every time her son comes back, he never goes home.
Let’s go find that Su Jiaojiao first…
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Lu Jingyou came back. He first went to the study to greet Mr. Lu, then came over and sat next to Mrs. Lu. He asked Lin Manli, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Meng Shiliang came to me yesterday and asked me to meet you. He wants to discuss cooperation with you." Lin Manli looked at her son whom she hadn't seen for over a month. "Meng Shiliang is an old friend of your father and me. He's a reliable person."
"Is it Meng Shiliang from Qifeng Company?" asked Mrs. Lu.
"Yes." Lin Manli nodded and said to Lu Jingyou, "He also participated in the auction for the land in the suburbs of Beijing and had made plans."
Meng Shiliang was originally determined to get that piece of land.
Who knew that Su Jiaojiao would appear out of nowhere and accidentally buy the land away. Fortunately, after a lot of twists and turns, it ended up in Lu Jingyou's hands again.
Lin Manli had just learned about the transfer of the land, so she agreed to help Meng Shiliang. If the land was still in Su Jiaojiao's hands, she would not be able to get involved in this matter.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow at noon!" Lu Jingyou agreed.
