Chapter 407 I Don’t Want to See Him
Su Jiaojiao's sudden appearance startled Ding Linyu and Cai Ting. Ding Linyu loosened her grip and the newspaper in her hand fell to the ground.
"Why are you two so nervous? I'm not here to check on you." Su Jiaojiao smiled, bent down to pick up the newspapers scattered on the ground, glanced at them casually, and her smile froze.
She felt that this couldn't be true, surely it couldn't be true.
But an indescribable anger still surged in his heart uncontrollably. He clearly knew that Yu Mingyuan was interested in him, but he still appeared in public with her without any hesitation.
Even if he had to do so for work, why did he have to be so close to her? If they hadn't been secretly photographed, she wouldn't have known that he could hug another woman so intimately.
"Jiao Jiao, this must be a misunderstanding," Ding Linyu immediately consoled her. "This kind of entertainment tabloid only knows how to write nonsense to attract attention and boost circulation."
"Yes, yes, it's definitely a misunderstanding," Cai Ting agreed. "Anyway, we don't believe it."
"Believe it or not, this is all true." Su Jiaojiao put the newspaper into her bag and said to the two of them with a forced smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have something to do at school, so I'll be leaving now. You guys should go home early."
"Okay, okay." The two responded in unison.
As soon as Su Jiaojiao left, Ding Linyu's phone rang. It was Wang Hua calling: "Where's Jiaojiao?"
"She just left," Ding Linyu asked Wang Hua indifferently, "What do you want from her?"
"Why is her phone turned off?" Wang Hua asked anxiously. "Did she see that newspaper? I'm telling you, it's all a misunderstanding. It's not true."
"You weren't there, so how do you know it was a misunderstanding?" Ding Linyu felt very sorry for Su Jiaojiao and couldn't help but retort, "The photo in the newspaper is very clear. How can you explain it away with just one word, 'It's a misunderstanding?'"
"Okay, let's not argue about this." Wang Hua said in a slow tone, "You guys stay with her. President Lu couldn't get through to her on the phone, so he went back. He should be here in about two hours. President Lu will explain things to her."
"Got it." Ding Linyu didn't want to say more to Wang Hua. "I'm busy here. If you have nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Cai Ting called Su Jiaojiao, but couldn't get through: "Jiaojiao rarely turns off her phone. Maybe it's out of battery."
"That should be it." Ding Linyu knew Su Jiaojiao didn't turn off her phone because of this. "Wang Hua said that Mr. Lu is back and wants to explain this to her in person. What do you think, should we tell Jiaojiao?"
"Of course I have to tell her. She came prepared, but Jiaojiao didn't." Cai Ting called again, but the phone was still turned off. "She should be on her way now. Why don't I go back and tell her about this?"
"Okay, let's do it." Ding Linyu nodded. "You don't have to come back. Wang Xiaoyu and I can stay here."
Cai Ting hurried out to catch the bus, but she missed her stop and had to get back.
Su Jiaojiao went back to school and taught a class before returning to Jinyuan. After a week of running around, she felt very tired, so she took a shower and went to bed.
Just as I fell asleep, I heard Cai Ting coming back. Seeing Su Jiaojiao sleeping, Cai Ting breathed a sigh of relief and sat down beside the bed and said, "Wang Hua called Ding Linyu and said that Mr. Lu couldn't get through to you on the phone, so he rushed back from the outskirts of Beijing and should be here soon."
Su Jiaojiao then remembered that her phone was out of battery and turned off, and she had forgotten to charge it when she came back. When she heard that Lu Jingyou was back, she immediately sat up and said, "If he comes, don't open the door. I don't want to see him."
She felt that she needed to calm down instead of listening to his explanation.
It was no use for him to explain.
"But you have to listen to his explanation!" Cai Ting knew that Su Jiaojiao was angry. Su Jiaojiao said expressionlessly, "I don't want to hear his explanation. Even if he and Yu Mingyuan are innocent, I don't want to hear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Su Jiaojiao simply covered her head, and Cai Ting didn't dare to make a sound, and sat there motionless.
She realized belatedly that Su Jiaojiao's car was still parked downstairs, and Lu Jingyou must have thought that Su Jiaojiao was at home.
Lu Jingyou held a large bouquet of roses in his hand and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside. He also couldn't get through to her cell phone.
He had no choice but to put the roses at the door and went downstairs in disappointment. He saw her car parked downstairs and waited at the gate for a long time. When he still didn't see her, he drove away.
"Jingjiao, Mr. Lu drove away." Cai Ting hid behind the curtains, watching Lu Jingyou's every move downstairs, and reported to Su Jingjiao, "He stood downstairs for a while before leaving."
"I'm going to sleep." Su Jiaojiao turned over and suddenly felt like crying. She sniffed and said, "Don't disturb me. I'm fine."
"Okay..." Cai Ting finally stood up. "Then you have a good rest. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
Su Jiaojiao really fell asleep.
The dreams were messy and complicated. Sometimes I dreamed that Lu Jingyou and Yan Xuewei were married, and sometimes I dreamed that Lu Jingyou and Yu Mingyuan were married. Sadness, disappointment and anger all surged into my heart.
When I woke up, it was dark.
Su Jiaojiao stretched, sat up, and turned on the light. Footsteps sounded at the door. Lu Jingyou knocked on the door, walked in, and said softly, "Are you awake?"
Cai Ting and Ding Linyu stood at the door with embarrassed expressions.
This really had nothing to do with them. When Ding Linyu came back, she happened to meet Lu Jingyou downstairs, and they came up together.
"What are you doing here?" Su Jiaojiao turned her head away and said coldly, "I don't want to hear your explanation, go away..."
"Even if you don't want to hear it, I have to explain. It's really a misunderstanding." Lu Jingyou sat on the sofa beside the bed and tried to hold her hand, but she shook him off. He had no choice but to sit up straight and said, "It was Yu Mingyuan's birthday that day. The Yu Minghuai brothers held a birthday party for her and invited everyone. I didn't want to go, but Yu Minghuai also invited other investors, so I went."
"She was drunk, and I just helped her up, and those tabloid reporters took pictures of her. I didn't hug her, I really just helped her up. The angle of the picture was so tricky that it looked like what was in the photo."
"I believe you and her are innocent. Now that you have explained, you can leave." Su Jiaojiao didn't look at him and had a cold attitude.
"After all this talk, you still don't believe me." Seeing that she refused to even look at him, Lu Jingyou became a little angry. "What exactly should I do to satisfy you?"
He didn't think much about it or care about it at the time.
It wasn't until it was in the newspaper that he realized the seriousness of the matter. He called her but her phone was turned off. He knew she must be angry, so he quickly ran back to explain to her.
But she didn't believe it.
Is he the kind of person who changes his mind every day in her mind?
"You've done a great job. There's no need to do anything else." Su Jiaojiao was also annoyed by his attitude. "Anyway, no matter what you do, there's always a reason."
