Chapter 387: Meeting and Feeling
"We don't contact each other often." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect Qin Shuang to ask about Yu Tian. The breakup between Qin Xiuming and Yu Tian didn't seem to cause much stir, and she had never heard Lu Jingyou mention it.
"Actually, I'm quite fond of Yu Tian. It's all Xiu Ming's fault. Since you two are in contact, please persuade Yu Tian for me and see if she can change her mind." A grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother. Qin Shuang was troubled by this matter. "That 18th-tier celebrity is obviously attracted to the Lu family's money. What kind of feelings can she have for Xiu Ming?"
"Aunt Qin, if Xiuming really likes Yu Tian, he can win her back on his own. Why would anyone interfere?" Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "A forced melon won't be sweet. I can't help you with this."
Although Yu Tian is a girl from a wealthy family, she is a very simple person without so many twists and turns.
Qin Shuang and Qin Xiuming weighed the pros and cons and felt that Yu Tian's family could be helpful to Qin Xiuming, so they tried their best to bring them together.
But men like Qin Xiuming, who have been poor for a long time and have suddenly become rich, look down on traditional girls like Yu Tian from the bottom of their hearts. While they accept the arranged marriage, they also hope to wander around with women and find some excitement.
The appearance of the 18th-tier celebrity just filled his emotional needs, but Yu Tian is not a fool, so there is no need for her to satisfy his desire for more.
"Xiu Ming and I have argued several times over this matter. This time, when he was injured, his father came not only to accompany him but also to counsel him." Qin Shuang lost his appetite when talking about this. He put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites of food. "Although his grandparents are very good to him, they are of different generations after all. The old couple gave him a few words of advice and that was it. In fact, it's still my fault for not educating him well."
"The child is grown up now. We can't always keep an eye on him." Chen Guilan knew that Qin Xiuming and Yu Tian had broken up, and comforted Qin Shuang, "If you can persuade him, persuade him. If you really can't persuade him, there's nothing you can do."
Su Jiaojiao felt that Chen Guilan was scolding her as well, so she kept quiet.
She knew that Chen Guilan was not dissatisfied with Lu Jingyou as a person, but because he was too far away and because of his family background.
In the final analysis, I am worried that she will be wronged in the future.
Su Jiaojiao felt that it didn't matter whether she married close or far away. What mattered was whether she had the right to speak on the economic issues. No matter how well-off his family was, the money she earned was enough for her to spend, and she couldn't spend their family's money.
Besides, if they don’t want their daughter-in-law to spend their money, then they might as well not get married.
Meeting each other brings about a certain amount of affection. Although Chen Guilan and Qin Shuang don't contact each other as frequently as before, they still have a lot to talk about when they meet.
The two chatted for a long time before Qin Shuang left, saying that he would go back to see if Xiuming had taken his medicine.
When she got home, Qin Xiuming had already fallen asleep. Lu Jiaping was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. Qin Shuang sat next to him naturally: "When are you going back?"
"Just go back before New Year's Eve." Lu Jiaping took her hand and said, "Xiuming can't go back to celebrate the New Year with me this year. You take care of him!"
"Of course." Qin Shuang nodded and calmly withdrew his hand. "He proposed to spend the New Year here and called you over. Actually, he just wanted us to spend more time with him. Although he is grown up, he is still a child deep down."
"I know I owe him too much over the years. I'll spend some time with him this time." Lu Jiaping has always felt guilty towards his son. Even after returning to the imperial capital, Qin Xiuming still lives in the old house with the old couple. They don't have much time alone together.
"But what if your wife finds out..." Qin Shuang still had concerns. Whenever Lu Jiaping came to her place, their family would be bombarded with calls.
"Don't worry about her. I'm in the imperial capital, and I don't live with her." Lu Jiaping didn't want to mention Wu Xinyue, nor did he care about her feelings.
Not only was Wu Xinyue cold and indifferent to Qin Xiuming, she also forbade Lu Qingqing from talking to Qin Xiuming, resulting in no interaction between the siblings.
This is what makes Lu Jiaping most angry.
His last bit of apology to Wu Xinyue was gone. He didn't intentionally hide the existence of Qin Xiuming, but she kept accusing him of lying to her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect Xiuming's matter to cause you so much trouble. If I had known, I wouldn't have let Xiuming live in your house." Qin Shuang knew Lu Jiaping's situation at home, but she was powerless to do anything. "I originally thought that my mother and I would live our lives in this way. I didn't expect your family to find out about Xiuming..."
"You shouldn't have hidden it from me. He is my son, and I have the right to know about him." Lu Jiaping looked at Qin Shuang, who was wearing delicate makeup, and it was as if he had returned to Dama Village more than 20 years ago.
Qin Shuang was beautiful and innocent at that time. He fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her almost madly. He thought she would be his lifelong partner.
Who knew that fate would play such a trick on me and bring me to this point today?
Qin Shuang remained silent.
When Lu Jiaping first found the mother and son, she hated and resented him. She hated him for abandoning her and blamed him for making Xiuming suffer so much. She drew a clear line between them and would not let him get close to her.
But after two years of getting along, she no longer had so much resistance to him, mainly because he was really good to Qin Xiuming and was trying his best to make up for what he had owed to the child over the years.
He is not a good partner, but he is a very good father. Qin Shuang knows that Lu Jiaping also cares deeply for his daughter Lu Qingqing. He buys double the gifts for both children and does not show favoritism.
Seeing Qin Shuang remained silent, Lu Jiaping continued, "I never thought you had such close ties with Jing You's girlfriend's family. Chen Guilan is a very simple and warm person."
Qin Shuang knew that Lu Jiaping was talking about Chen Guilan delivering food, and smiled: "Yes, she is a good person."
"I heard that Su Jiaojiao is very capable and has two shops in Wudaokou." Lu Jiaping had met Su Jiaojiao once when Qin Shuang was in the hospital before, but at that time he didn't know the relationship between Su Jiaojiao and Lu Jingyou, and didn't care about her.
"Well, this kid has always been very capable. When he was in high school, he was able to earn his own tuition and living expenses." Qin Shuang has always had a good impression of Su Jiaojiao. Although she is estranged from her, she still has confidence in Su Jiaojiao's character. "Do your old man and old lady know about your nephew and Jiaojiao?"
"They should know, but they haven't mentioned it openly." Lu Jiaping knew his parents well. "They should be waiting for Jingyou to tell them in person. But the old lady is already busy renovating the old house, so it doesn't matter whether they tell her or not."
"In other words, the old couple agreed?" Qin Shuang thought they would not agree.
"Jing You was raised by the old couple. They treat him better than us brothers." Lu Jiaping said disapprovingly, "They said long ago that they trust Jing You and his judgment. They won't interfere with what kind of wife he chooses."
"Your parents are quite open-minded." Qin Shuang remembered that Lu Jiaping had said the same thing to her before, saying that his parents were very open-minded and would definitely like her.
Thinking of those long-ago events, she sighed slightly. What is lost is lost forever and will never come back.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed early!" Lu Jiaping looked at her with bright eyes, "We have to take Xiuming to the hospital to change the dressing tomorrow."
