Chapter 427 Waiting for Him
I haven't seen Qin Xiuming for more than half a year, and he is no longer the same as before.
He was wearing a straight black suit, a red striped tie, polished leather shoes, and a hint of sandalwood scent.
"I've talked to her before, but nothing happened." Qin Xiuming sat in his chair, legs crossed. "You know, she and I were brought together by my mother and her uncle. We have no feelings for each other at all."
"You don't have to tell me this. I don't want to know." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to listen. He had said the same thing in his previous life, meaning that he was innocent.
That's just how he is, always putting the blame on others.
She didn't want to see him because she didn't want to think about what happened between her and him in her previous life.
"Because her uncle and my father had worked together before, they got along well and there was no rift between them because of our breakup. Her uncle paid the compensation, and we are responsible, but we can't be blamed entirely."
"Lu Jingming, these things of yours have nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me." Su Jiaojiao said indifferently, "If you want to explain, go find Yu Tian, not me."
"I've already talked to her. She's very emotional and insists that we set her uncle up to pay the money. She even said she's going to sue us." Qin Xiuming felt a little embarrassed when Su Jiaojiao called him by his current name. "You're her friend, try to persuade her."
"I don't care about your business." Su Jiaojiao refused directly.
"Jiao Jiao, if this gets out of hand, it won't be good for anyone." Qin Xiuming stood up and adjusted his tie. "Don't forget, you're my eldest brother's girlfriend now, and you're going to marry into the Lu family. If the Lu family's reputation is ruined, it'll be shameful for you, too."
"The Lu family doesn't want to solve your Lu family's problems, but instead asks me, an outsider who hasn't even joined the Lu family, to protect your Lu family's reputation. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"I came to see you because I treat you as one of my own. By the way, I want to remind you that if you help Yu Tian, you're going against the Lu family." Qin Xiuming's eyes fell on Su Jiaojiao. "You may not know that my uncle is also involved in this matter..."
"You don't need to tell me this. It has nothing to do with me who is involved." Su Jiaojiao looked up and saw Qin Xiuming's half-smile, which made her feel even more disgusted.
He must have drunk so much fake wine that he came over and asked her to persuade Yu Tian.
She felt confused.
The next day, Su Jiaojiao ran into Yu Tian at the Kyoto Garment Company. Yu Tian angrily said, "Qin Xiuming came to me and explained their innocence. I scolded him, and he left in disgrace."
"I know. He came to me too." Su Jiaojiao said calmly, "He asked me to persuade you not to act rashly."
She has no vested interest in this matter.
She needs to be completely neutral.
"He came looking for you, which shows that he's guilty." Yu Tian looked at Su Jiaojiao with wide eyes. "Jiaojiao, before I was in Yangcheng, I didn't realize how sinister Lu Jiaping was. Ever since this happened, I realized that his family is really profit-driven and will do anything for the sake of profit."
"Have you found out anything?" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to join her in criticizing the Lu family.
"When Lu Jiaping was in Guangzhou, he had close ties with Tang Youxin of New Century Investment Company. My uncle also knew this Tang Youxin. I recently discovered that Tang Youxin came to the capital," Yu Tian whispered. "As far as I know, this Tang Youxin Investment Company is just a shell company. He said his family is in the red wine business, but no one has ever seen his winery. He also helped to connect this handicraft investment. So I suspect Lu Jiaping and Tang Youxin are working together to use Qin Shuang as bait to cheat my uncle out of his money."
In recent years, Yu Baiqiang's business has been going smoothly and has grown bigger and bigger. They know that her uncle is rich.
At first she didn't believe that they would take advantage of their customers, but now she believes it, it is absolutely true.
"Didn't you call the police?" Su Jiaojiao became alert when she heard her mention Tang Youxin. "Did the police find anything?"
"The police need accurate and complete evidence to investigate a case. It's impossible for them to tell me everything they find. At the moment, I don't know." Yu Tian shook her head and added, "Because of my uncle's matter, my parents came back. They are now looking for houses and plan to settle down here. When they are ready, I will take you to my house to play."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed, and then instructed Yu Tian, "It's best not to let anyone know about your search for evidence. You have to protect yourself."
She felt that Yu Tian was too naive.
This kind of thing shouldn't even be told to her. Just do it quietly. She doesn't want to know about their messy affairs.
"I know. My parents have also talked about me." Yu Tiantian nodded. "I was just angry at the moment, so I said that to Qin Xiuming. I won't do it again. I live with my parents now, and I want to spend more time with them. I won't come to Kyoto often. If you come, just help me keep an eye on it. The delivery time is not tight, and it will be fine as long as it is completed by the end of the year."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao agreed happily. She couldn't help Yu Tian find evidence, but she could help her follow up on the order.
"This batch of terry cloth nightgowns we have is very good. We have been exporting them overseas for the past two years and they are very popular there." Yu Tian pulled a pile of colorful nightgowns from the chopping board and handed them to her. "This fabric is very comfortable. I'll take two back, one for me and one for my mom. These are for you."
"Thank you." Su Jiaojiao did not refuse. It was normal to have ten or twenty extra items for such a large order. As long as the quantity on the order was shipped, she could handle the rest herself.
Yu Tian gave her five pieces in total, one each to Cai Ting, Ding Linyu and Wang Xiaoyu, as a welfare benefit.
There were two left, she wore one and left one for her mother, who had never worn this terry-made nightgown.
On Saturday afternoon, Lu Jingyou went straight to Jinyuan as soon as he left the airport. Su Jiaojiao had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him at home.
Su Jiaojiao followed Song Xiangyun to learn how to cook a few home-cooked dishes. She worked for a whole morning before she succeeded in copying them. Except that the dishes didn't look as good as Song Xiangyun's, they tasted okay.
However, her most proud dish, the salt and pepper spareribs, accidentally had several pieces burnt. But it didn't matter, she put the burnt side at the bottom, and the side facing up would still look golden brown and beautiful.
There was no way he could eat the whole plate of ribs anyway.
As soon as Lu Jingyou walked in, he had a feeling that life was so beautiful: soft music, steaming food, cut fruits, and her who was in his mind.
The warmth of home is fully embodied at this moment.
He used to be able to eat delicious meals when he returned home, but without her, the atmosphere was completely different. This kind of beautiful and warm atmosphere could only be truly experienced when he was with her, and it made him fall in love with it and unable to extricate himself.
