Chapter 413 Too Persistent
Ding Linyu thought Cai Ting couldn't get up in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Cai Ting got up earlier than her and volunteered that there were fewer cars on the road in the early morning so she could practice driving.
When the two left, Su Jiaojiao was still asleep. She had a glass of beer last night and went back to her room to sleep without eating.
Ding Linyu was worried that Su Jiaojiao was drunk, so she went to check on her before going to bed. Cai Ting regretted buying beer: "Jiaojiao has never drunk alcohol before."
"One cup should be fine." Ding Linyu, sitting in the passenger seat, was even more nervous than Cai Ting. "Stop talking and drive safely. Don't cross the line. You just did."
"Don't be so strict with newbies!" Cai Ting was already nervous, and she became even more nervous after hearing what Ding Linyu said.
I turned off the engine while waiting at a red light and couldn't start the car for a long time.
The car behind kept honking its horn.
The more nervous she got, the harder it was to start the car. Cai Ting broke out in a sweat. There was no other way, so the two of them had to switch. Ding Linyu comforted her, "It's okay, just practice more and you'll be fine."
When Su Jiaojiao woke up, sunlight filled the room. She looked at the time in a daze. Oh no, it was almost eight o'clock. She was going to be late.
She washed up in a hurry, put on her schoolbag and ran out.
Drinking really wastes time. I can’t drink even a drop from now on.
Mrs. Lu was sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, looking relaxed. Seeing Su Jiaojiao running out in a hurry, she looked at her watch and raised a smile: "This girl is running so fast, is she going to be late?"
"That should be it." Song Xiangyun was making tea and glanced out the window. "Young people sleep a lot, so they accidentally overslept."
"Yeah, unlike us, we wake up at four or five o'clock and can't fall asleep again. Jiaojiao has to go to school and work at the same time. It's too hard for her to work so non-stop." Mrs. Lu knew that Su Jiaojiao would come as soon as class was over, so she said to Song Xiangyun, "Tell Xiao Wu to buy a black chicken and send it over. We'll make some chicken soup and nourish Jiaojiao when she gets here."
"You really love your granddaughter-in-law." Song Xiangyun smiled. "I'll call her right now and ask her to bring the ingredients over."
The old lady has simple requirements for food.
There are two meals a day, morning and afternoon, which are basically steamed and stewed, and stir-fried dishes are rarely eaten.
"As the old saying goes, 'Look up when you marry a daughter, and bow your head when you marry a daughter-in-law.' If we want someone to marry into our family willingly, we, as elders, must show some respect. We can't act like elders and scare the girl away." Old Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I admit that I did this out of selfish motives, so it's only right that I treat her well. Making some chicken soup is nothing."
"If Xiao Su knew that you were Jingyou's grandmother, would she think you planned it?" Song Xiangyun asked her. This matter could be concealed for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, she would find out.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes!" Old Madam Lu said sternly, "I've married two daughters-in-law, and I've never been so attentive. If she thinks I planned this, she's not wrong."
After class, Su Jiaojiao bought some apples and bananas on the way and took them to the old lady's house on the first floor.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, with a steaming casserole in the middle, and the whole house was filled with the aroma of chicken soup.
Three o'clock in the afternoon, isn't it time for dinner?
Eating again...
"Jingjiao, come in and have some chicken soup." Old Mrs. Lu had been waiting for a long time and waved at her enthusiastically, "We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Grandma, I'm not hungry. You guys eat first, I'll come later." Su Jiaojiao handed the fruit in her hand to her. It felt awkward to eat as soon as she arrived.
"I'll keep the fruit. I love eating the fruit you buy." Mrs. Lu took the bag from her and dragged her in with her. "Young people get hungry easily. What's there to worry about with a bowl of chicken soup?"
Su Jiaojiao looked at the full bowl of red dates, wolfberry and black chicken soup in front of her, and suddenly felt that what Cai Ting said made sense. There is no hatred without reason in the world, and there is no good without reason.
Even if she came to teach the old lady how to use the sewing machine, the old lady didn't need to be so attentive. There was indeed something wrong.
After dinner, she taught the old lady how to use the sewing machine. In fact, there was nothing much to teach. It was not that the old lady didn't know how to use it, she was just not skilled enough.
Su Jiaojiao stayed on the first floor for more than an hour before going home. She thought carefully about the details of her interactions with the two old ladies, but still couldn't figure it out.
When she rented a house in Liuhu Park, Song Xiangyun was just an old landlord with a lukewarm attitude. Apart from taking and handing over the keys, there was nothing special about it.
It shouldn’t be Song Xiangyun.
That was Song Xiangyun’s old sister. This old lady was even more enthusiastic towards her than Song Xiangyun. She could see that the old lady was the owner of the first floor.
She didn't know the old lady on the first floor, but as soon as they met, the old lady was very enthusiastic towards her, an enthusiasm very similar to the enthusiasm that Zhang He's mother showed her.
Judging from the old lady’s age, she should be about the same age as her grandson. However, the old lady never even asked her if she had a boyfriend, so why was she so nice to her?
Just as I was daydreaming, the cell phone rang.
It was Yu Tian calling: "Jingjiao, is the story about Lu Jingyou and Yu Mingyuan true or false?"
"How did you know?" Su Jiaojiao didn't mention it at all.
"It's also in my newspaper." Yu Tian coughed lightly, "Jiahe Group and Wanzhuo Group are joining forces!"
"It's all hype!" Su Jiaojiao smiled. "I didn't take it seriously, but you took it seriously. It's fake."
"That's good." Yu Tian seemed relieved. "Are you going back to your hometown during the summer vacation?"
“No!”
"Okay, I'll come to Wudaokou to find you then, and we can talk about the latest fashion trends."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily.
There are not many people in the office of the Beijing Suburban Project Department. Qi Heng, He Siyu and Lu Jingyou are in the same office, while Yu Minghuai and Yu Mingyuan's office is on the other side of the corridor.
After the scandal broke out, Lu Jingyou rarely stayed in the office and went on business trips frequently. Even Qi Heng and He Siyu couldn't see him.
"Is Jingyou crazy? He won't talk to us anymore." Qi Heng was puzzled. "He came back last night and chatted with Yu Minghuai. He left early this morning. We didn't offend him!"
"You haven't offended him, but you like to tease him." He Siyu coughed lightly, "Haven't you figured it out yet? His behavior must be related to Junior Sister."
"You mean, Junior Sister had a fight with him?" Qi Heng became interested. "No way, it's not a big deal. It's not like they were caught in bed together."
"For Junior Sister, this is a serious matter." He Siyu glanced at Yu Minghuai's office and whispered, "I happened to pass by Yu Minghuai's office last night, and I heard Jing You talking to Yu Minghuai about the newspaper. Jing You wanted to terminate the cooperation with the Yu family..."
"Is it really that serious?" Qi Heng found it incredible. "Jing You is too obsessed with his feelings. The higher the sunk cost, the more he can't leave Junior Sister. He gets nervous at the slightest sign of trouble."
He didn't mean to say that Su Jiaojiao was bad.
But she felt that Lu Jingyou was too worried about her.
"It took him five years to chase someone, how could he not be nervous!" He Siyu teased Qi Heng, "It took him five years to chase someone, how many girlfriends have you changed in those five years?"
"You're all romantic, and I'm the jerk, okay?" Qi Heng snorted coldly, "I'm not like you. One of you hasn't been able to win someone over for five years, while the other keeps chasing the same person over and over again. Is that fun?"
He Siyu fell silent.
