Chapter 425: Dilemma
Lu Jiahe still took his wife's words to heart.
As soon as Lin Manli called, he came back. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he immediately went up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lu Jiahe, I want to ask you, is Jingyou my son?" Lin Manli got angry when she saw Lu Jiahe. He didn't care about anything at home and pushed everything onto her.
"What do you mean?" Lu Jiahe was stunned by the question. "Of course Jingyou is your son. When you were pregnant with him, you ate too well. He weighed eight kilograms when he was born, which led to a difficult birth. Thanks to Doctor Lin..."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Lin Manli rolled her eyes at him. "Then let me ask you again, is he your son?"
"Do you suspect Jingyou was taken away by mistake when he was born?" Lu Jiahe was confused again. He looked at Lin Manli seriously and said firmly, "I tell you, this is impossible. I would rather believe that I was taken away by mistake than that he was taken away by mistake. Jingyou looks so much like me, it can't be wrong!"
"When did I say he was taken away by mistake?" Lin Manli wanted to slap him. "Since I'm his mother, why do you hide everything about your family from me? Why?"
"What happened?" Lu Jiahe was confused.
Lin Manli then told Lu Jiahe about Lu Jingyou's wedding house in the suburbs of Beijing and the close relationship between the old lady and Su Jiaojiao, and asked him, "Tell me, do you know about these things?"
"I don't know!" Lu Jiahe was also surprised. "The suburbs of Beijing are so far away. What is Jingyou doing there? Doesn't he have a house in Kaiyuan Mansion?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Lin Manli was furious. "Lu Jiahe, don't you think your parents are too overbearing?"
"You can't say that. Jingyou was raised by them, so they just love to worry about him." Lu Jiahe still sided with his parents. "They are old and have nothing to do. They just care about their grandson's marriage!"
"I know they treat Jingyou well, but they can't do it without telling us." Lin Manli sneered, "Jingyou is my son. Why can't I express my opinion on his marriage?"
"No one's stopping you from expressing your opinion!" Lu Jiahe was overwhelmed. "Haven't you always been against it?"
"Your parents know I'm against it, so why do they still keep seeing Su Jiaojiao in private?" Lin Manli's eyes were red with anger. "Do you know what the consequences are? The consequences are that they are the good guys and I'm the bad guy. When Su Jiaojiao gets married, she'll rely on the old couple's support and won't take me seriously."
"Lu Jiahe, when I was a daughter-in-law, I was controlled by your mother. Now that I'm a mother-in-law, I still have to look after my daughter-in-law. Do you understand my difficulties?"
She never knew that the old lady could be so insidious. Isn't this obviously going to cause discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Then what do you want me to do?" Lu Jiahe thought these were all trivial matters, but in Lin Manli's eyes they became very important matters, making him not know what he should do.
"Call Jingyou and ask him to come back. If he says he doesn't recognize me as his mother, I will never ask about his affairs again." Lin Manli was also disappointed with Lu Jiahe. "If you had cared about the family's affairs, I wouldn't have to live in such a difficult situation. It's because of your irresponsibility that I have no say in the family."
"How am I irresponsible?" Lu Jiahe was very unconvinced. "Jing You asked me for one million a few days ago, and I gave it to him without hesitation. Actually, I paid for his wedding house!"
He gave all his savings over the years to Lu Jingyou.
Lin Manli even said that he was irresponsible, and of course he was unwilling to do so.
"You said you didn't know about the wedding house, but you know about it, don't you?" Lin Manli saw that Lu Jiahe didn't realize his mistake at all, but instead argued that he paid for it, so she knew it, and her whole family was the only one hiding it from her.
"I said I paid, but I didn't know he bought the wedding house." Lu Jiahe felt that he couldn't explain himself even if he had a lot of words, and immediately gave up. "I'll call Jingyou right now and talk to him. I'm really scared of you."
"Not only do you have to talk to Jingyou, you also have to talk to your parents. Your mother is in Jinyuan now. Go ask her why she kept it from me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Lu Jiahe was eager to end this deadly conversation. He immediately went out and headed straight for Jinyuan.
The salt and pepper spare ribs made by Song Xiangyun were delicious. Su Jiaojiao ate several pieces, and also had a bowl of rice and a bowl of fish soup. The old lady thought she didn't eat enough and insisted that she drink another bowl of fish soup.
Su Jiaojiao said she really couldn't eat anymore.
The two were pushing each other when there was a knock on the door. Song Xiangyun got up to open the door. She saw through the peephole that it was Lu Jiahe. She quickly opened the door and walked out, pulling Lu Jiahe downstairs.
"Auntie, where's my mother?" Lu Jiahe wondered why Song Xiangyun didn't let him in. Song Xiangyun whispered, "The old lady doesn't want to see you now. You should go back first!"
"Why?" Lu Jiahe didn't understand. What did he do wrong to make people dislike him so much?
"Anyway, you can't go in now. If you really want to see the old lady, come back in two hours." Song Xiangyun said seriously, "Otherwise, the old lady will be angry."
"Who is in the room?" Lu Jiahe heard more than just the old lady's voice. Then he thought about it and understood. It must be Su Jiaojiao.
"I'll explain this to you later. Anyway, you really can't go in now." Song Xiangyun tried to persuade him, "How about you go sit in the car for a while, I'll call you, and then you can come in."
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the car." Lu Jiahe was defeated. He really couldn't understand what these women were thinking. They were so mysterious.
"Who's knocking at the door?" asked the old lady.
"He knocked on the wrong door. He thought it was Unit 2," Song Xiangyun replied.
After dinner, Su Jiaojiao accompanied the old lady to practice sewing for a while before going upstairs to go home.
She was full, but Ding Linyu and Cai Ting had not come back yet, so she had to prepare meals for them.
After Su Jiaojiao left, Song Xiangyun called Lu Jiahe up. When the old lady saw him, she was very unhappy: "What are you doing here?"
"Mom, why did you move here without telling us?" Lu Jiahe still didn't understand. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I don't need your permission for anything I do!" Old Mrs. Lu looked at him with disdain. "How did you know I lived here?"
"Mom, how I knew that is not important. What's important is that what you did made Manli very angry." Lu Jiahe stood on Lin Manli's side this time, and Su Jiaojiao did not follow Lu Jingyou home to meet his parents.
How could the old lady come to see Su Jiaojiao on her own initiative!
"Whether she's angry or not, what does it have to do with me?" Old Mrs. Lu looked at her son in disbelief. "When did I have to care about her mood?"
