Chapter 411: Inexplicable Feelings
"They hid it from me, and I hid it from them too." Old Madam Lu smiled and said cunningly, "I want to see how long they can keep it a secret from me, especially Jing You. This brat didn't even tell me, so I won't tell him either."
"Sister, you're becoming more and more like a child." Song Xiangyun understood. "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone. Even if they ask, I'll just say you moved in with me because the renovations were too noisy."
"Okay, that's what I said." Mrs. Lu smiled when she thought of Su Jiaojiao. "Jingjiao, I liked her the moment I saw her. It's not easy for a country girl to get into Peking University. Not only did she get in, she also bought a house and settled down in this city. It shows how strong she is. She's a lot like me when I was young..."
When talking about the past, the old lady's eyes became moist.
The past was so far away that even now when she thinks about it, she still feels it's unreal.
"The first time I met her was the winter of the year before last when she rented my apartment. I thought she was quite capable, and later I learned she was a student at Peking University," Song Xiangyun recalled. "When you mentioned her name last time, I immediately thought it must be her, but I wasn't sure. Only after you delivered some snacks did I recognize her."
"So, she and I are destined to be together." Old Lady Lu said, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Now I just hope Jingyou can marry her as soon as possible, which will put my worries at ease."
"Yes." Song Xiangyun said with a smile, "Our Jingyou is also a good young man. The two of them are a good match."
"I hope they can get married and have children soon. I can still help them." Mrs. Lu became happier as she spoke. "If I could see my great-grandson, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."
"Your wish will surely come true soon." Song Xiangyun knew that the old couple wanted Lu Jingyou to get married quickly, "but things have to be done step by step. Don't be too hasty."
"We're already this old, how can we not be anxious?" Mrs. Lu sighed after her excitement. "We can't rely on Manli for these things. She's only busy arguing with Jiahe all day and doesn't care about her son's affairs at all."
She knew that Lin Manli didn't like Su Jiaojiao, so she never said anything about Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao.
She also knew that Lin Manli had been in close contact with Yu Mingyuan recently. Lin Manli was still the same, always wanting to present what she thought was good to Lu Jingyou, without considering the child's feelings at all.
As a mother-in-law, she scolded her daughter-in-law several times, but Lin Manli simply wouldn't listen.
Since she won't listen, there's no need for her to interfere in Lu Jingyou's marriage.
"If Xiao Su knew how kind you were to her, she would definitely agree to marry you sooner," Song Xiangyun comforted the old lady. "When we're free, let's go out for a walk. This place is not far from Peking University, and maybe we can run into Xiao Su there!"
"That's a good idea. Let's go to the school tomorrow." Mrs. Lu agreed happily. "Not only should we go to Peking University, but also to Wudaokou. That way, I can see Jiaojiao more often."
Su Jiaojiao didn't go to Wudaokou this week. The two stores were busy in the morning, and retail was not very busy during the day. Ding Linyu and Cai Ting were fully capable of handling it, so there was no point in her going.
She usually went home after class, checked the accounts, deposited the previous day's turnover in the bank at the entrance of the community, cleaned the house, bought some groceries, and waited for them to come back.
Ding Linyu drove her car to Wudaokou. Sometimes when she needed to deliver goods, she couldn't do without a car.
Su Jiaojiao could only walk back to Jinyuan.
She planned to buy a special delivery van for Ding Linyu during the summer vacation. If she used her car to deliver goods, the car would soon be broken down, and she couldn't bear to part with it.
When Lu Jingyou saw her enter the community, he immediately got out of the car and said, "Let's go to our old place for dinner. Give me a chance and I'll explain it to you."
"No." Su Jiaojiao got angry just looking at him. No matter how much she explained, she couldn't wash away the fact that he took the initiative to help Yu Mingyuan.
"How long are you going to keep the cold war with me?" Lu Jingyou held her shoulders and looked at her helplessly, "We can't solve the problem like this. You have to say it if you are angry. You have to tell me what you want from me. Don't ignore me. You weren't like this before!"
"I've always been like this, you just haven't noticed." Su Jiaojiao pushed his hand away and said coldly, "You think too highly of me. I'm actually not as tolerant and understanding as you think. I think we should both calm down and think carefully about whether we should move forward, because I can't accept a man surrounded by scandals."
It's not that she's making a fuss.
But this kind of principled issue must not be reconciled without clear explanation, and then the same mistake will happen again next time, and then there will be another quarrel and another explanation. That would be too tiring.
"But you didn't even give me a chance to explain..." Lu Jingyou didn't know how to explain it. He hugged her in his arms regardless. "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Let me go!" Su Jiaojiao was so angry that she struggled to get out of his arms. She didn't want to fight with him, so she had to say, "Give me some time and space. I'll think about it carefully. I'll contact you when I've made up my mind. I'm very tired recently. Please don't disturb me."
"I didn't disturb you. I just came to see you and asked you out for dinner." Lu Jingyou felt that the reason she reacted so strongly was because they were rarely together and the lack of communication led to a lack of trust.
So he planned to come back to see her as often as possible after he was done with this busy period.
"To me, you're just disturbing me." Su Jiaojiao turned and walked away. After a few steps, she stopped again and said, "Don't follow me. Otherwise, you won't be able to find me next time you come."
“…” Lu Jingyou watched her go home without looking back, and could only drive away in disappointment.
First floor balcony.
Mrs. Lu and Song Xiangyun saw the two arguing. Song Xiangyun laughed and said, "The young couple is having a quarrel."
"I know what it is. It's really Jingyou's fault." Old Mrs. Lu knew about the photo and frowned. "We thought Jiao Jiao didn't know, but now it seems she knows."
"But Jingyou was also wronged." Song Xiangyun understood, "He and Miss Yu were just ordinary partners."
"We are elders, and we only care about the truth of the matter." Old Mrs. Lu pulled the curtains, sat down on the rattan chair, and rocked gently. "But as Jingyou's girlfriend, it's different. She not only cares about the truth of the matter, but also feels disappointed, angry, and uneasy. These feelings will not disappear immediately after knowing the truth."
"Then what should we do? I think Jingyou is also stumped."
"What else can we do? He can comfort his girlfriend on his own. We should just do what we need to do and not get involved."
