Chapter 388 People Change
After Qin Shuang left, Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao packed up and went back to their room to rest. They had been busy for most of the day and only took half an hour to eat, and there was a lot of food left over.
"Mom, we don't have to cook for several days. I told you to cook less, but you didn't listen. You fried nine dishes and made so many dumplings for three people." Su Jiaojiao looked at the plates of leftovers on the table. Several dishes had not been touched.
Given Chen Guilan's personality, she won't cook new dishes until she finishes the leftovers.
"Eat it slowly. It won't go bad even in the middle of winter." Chen Guilan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Including the father and son, there are five of us. Nine dishes isn't too much."
"But the portion is too big. Even if five more people come, they won't be able to finish it." Su Jiaojiao knows her mother best. Her mother always cooks a lot of dishes. Nine dishes can be divided into eighteen dishes.
Speaking of Lu Jiaping and his son, Chen Guilan became interested and called Su Jiaojiao into her room to talk. She looked gossipy and said, "What do you think is going on with them? If Xiuming's father and his wife find out, won't there be another quarrel?"
"They're definitely arguing." Su Jiaojiao took the pillow and leaned against the headboard. She took out her phone and flipped through the text messages. She replied while saying, "Even if Lu Jiaping doesn't come, they're still arguing. This itself is hard to accept."
As far as she knew, after Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu learned of Qin Xiuming's existence, they took Qin Xiuming back as soon as possible without any intention of discussing it with Wu Xinyue.
His attitude was very tough and he would not tolerate her disagreement.
It was normal for Wu Xinyue to have emotions, but she overreacted and ended up in a passive position. Both she and Lu Jiaping suffered losses.
"At the beginning, your Aunt Qin said that she would not have any contact with Xiuming's father, and she was worried that Xiuming would never come back. Now it seems that they seem to be closer." Chen Guilan's impression of Qin Shuang was still that of a strong woman. She always felt that Qin Shuang was as courageous and independent as a man, and that she did not need a man. But now she let Lu Jiaping stay overnight at her house.
With a relationship like theirs, it's hard not to think too much.
"People change." After replying to the text message, Su Jiaojiao put her phone aside and chatted seriously with Chen Guilan. "Didn't you hear Aunt Qin say that ever since her accident, she hasn't had the energy or fighting spirit she used to have? She's only in her forties, only halfway through her life. Maybe she's had other ideas."
"Do you think Lu Jiaping will divorce his wife and marry her?" Chen Guilan would not talk about these things with others. The only person she could talk to was Su Jiaojiao.
"I don't know." Su Jiaojiao shook her head. "It depends on what Wu Xinyue thinks."
It has been more than three years since Qin Xiuming returned to the Lu family. Lu Jiaping and Wu Xinyue have not divorced, and most likely will not divorce.
Wu Xinyue also has a daughter. Doesn’t she think about her daughter?
"For the past two years, your Aunt Qin was adamant. She refused to see Xiuming's father or answer his calls. But after her accident, Xiuming's father has been visiting more often, and your Aunt Qin has started to accept him." Chen Guilan knew about Qin Shuang and Lu Jiaping's affairs. "If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Then, Chen Guilan said to Su Jiaojiao worriedly, "Will their affairs affect you?"
"Mom, what does their business have to do with me?" Su Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I didn't get involved in their business."
Her mother just likes to think too much.
Even if Lu Jiaping divorced and married Qin Shuang, it would be none of her business.
"Jingjiao, you've never experienced family life, so you don't understand. What if Wu Xinyue deliberately makes things difficult for you because of Qin Shuang's relationship with you?" Chen Guilan felt that she wasn't overthinking it. "Even though you two are from different families, his grandparents are still alive, and the whole family will definitely get together during the holidays. We'll see each other every day..."
When you think about it this way, the Lu family has a lot to deal with.
It would be better to find a partner in my hometown and live a stable life.
"Mom, don't think so much. Even if my Aunt Qin marries Xiuming's father, we will still have conflicts when we should." Su Jiaojiao felt that she didn't need to think so much. Even if there really came a day like that, if Wu Xinyue made things difficult for her, she would be making things difficult for Lu Jingyou. The Lu family's affairs would be handled by the Lu family.
"You are quite open-minded." Chen Guilan didn't know what to say. Her daughter was grown up and had her own ideas. What was the point of her disagreeing?
If a female student fails to stay, she will become an enemy if she stays here and there.
Early in the morning, Lu Jiaping went out to buy breakfast. When he came back, his mother and daughter were still asleep. He heated up the breakfast in the pot and sat in the living room reading the newspaper.
This house has not been lived in much, and there are only two pots in the kitchen, so it is not possible to cook. If his son had not insisted on coming to live here, he and Qin Shuang would not have come here.
He asked Qin Xiuming last night, and Qin Xiuming said that he wanted to feel the warmth of home, so he came here, and said that this kind of warmth could not be felt in the hotel.
As parents, we can only let him do what he wants.
Qin Xiuming slept until around eight o'clock. When he woke up, he saw Lu Jiaping sitting beside his bed. He was startled: "Dad, when did you come in?"
"Your mother asked me to wake you up. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I wanted to let you sleep a little longer." Lu Jiaping saw that he had woken up and reached out to help him. "Are you feeling better? Can you walk?"
"It's okay, you just can't use too much force." Qin Xiuming held Lu Jiaping's arm and limped into the bathroom.
Qin Shuang then brought the food out of the pot. Seeing the father and son coming out of the bathroom, she smiled and said to Qin Xiuming, "You're already such a grown-up, but you still need your dad to accompany you to the bathroom. You're like a little kid."
"In front of dad, no matter how old you are, you are still a child." Lu Jiaping helped Qin Xiuming sit on the sofa and looked at his ankle wrapped in gauze. "It's much better than yesterday. Let's go see the doctor today and get some medicine. You can change it yourself when you come back."
"That's right. It's so cold, don't catch a cold again." Qin Shuang agreed. Qin Xiuming looked at Lu Jiaping, then at Qin Shuang, feeling very good. "With dad by my side, I'll be well soon."
He knew from a young age that he had no father. He was envious of other children who had their parents by their side, but he never dared to tell his mother about it for fear of making her sad.
Now, he also has a father, but this father does not belong to his mother, nor does he completely belong to him...
He was not happy in the Lu family, but he could only force himself to be happy because he knew that the Lu family had everything he wanted.
"Then I'll stay with you for a few more days." Lu Jiaping was very happy to be needed by his son. Anyway, there was nothing to do when he returned home, so he might as well spend some time with his son. "Let's go to the hospital after dinner. Go quickly and be back soon. When you get better, we can go out and play and visit Jiao County."
"Okay." Qin Xiuming agreed happily. It would be great if time could stop at this moment, and their family of three could be together forever and never be separated again.
Wu Xinyue knew that Lu Jiaping had gone to accompany his son, so she didn't call Lu Jiaping. Instead, she asked Mrs. Lu directly: "Mom, when will Jiaping come back?"
"Xiuming sprained his ankle. Jiaping went to stay with him. He'll be back when he's better." Old Mrs. Lu was sitting at her desk sketching. She looked up at her and said calmly, "New Year's Eve is only five or six days away. He'll definitely be back for the New Year."
"Mom, have you already accepted the fact that Lu Jiaping has another family outside?" Wu Xinyue was disappointed with her mother-in-law's attitude. "It's just a sprained ankle, and you really need Lu Jiaping to make such a big fuss by flying over to be with him?"
Is he going to accompany Qin Shuang?
