Chapter 448 Mutual Dislike
"Go back! How could I not go back?" Su Jiaojiao looked at her own reflection in the glass. "We'll be on vacation in ten days. I'll settle things here and go back in half a month at the latest."
So much had happened this year that she suddenly felt exhausted.
She wants to go back to her mother now, because being a daughter is the easiest.
"That's good." Chen Guilan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "By the way, your second uncle introduced you to a girl and asked you to come back during the winter break to meet her. The young man is also a college student. His uncle is an old acquaintance of your second uncle and is from our local area."
"Mom, I already have a partner, why would I go on a blind date?" Su Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears. "Lu Jingyou has already come to our house to give us a New Year's gift, and you still don't acknowledge his identity?"
What is going on?
Why did you let her go home for a blind date again...
"But your second uncle doesn't know!" Chen Guilan advised Su Jiaojiao, "I think, since you're not engaged, what's the harm in seeing each other? What if you fall in love?"
She didn't want Su Jiaojiao to stay in the imperial capital and wanted her daughter to find a local man.
"My second uncle doesn't know, but you don't know either?" Su Jiaojiao was speechless. "Let's make it clear first, I won't go to see the date, and you tell my second uncle that I have a boyfriend."
How can you eat from your bowl and look at what's in the pot?
She hates people like this the most.
If Lu Jingyou knew about this, he would misunderstand again.
"Let's talk about it when you come back!" Chen Guilan felt that it was difficult to explain it clearly over the phone, so she stopped talking.
"Mom, I went to Lu Jingyou's house today and met their elders." Su Jiaojiao didn't want to tell Chen Guilan, but when she thought about her second uncle introducing her to a date, she had to say it.
"Why are you going?" Chen Guilan was surprised. "You're still in school, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Then how are you going to introduce me to someone?" Su Jiaojiao was very depressed. "Lu Jingyou has already come to our house, and he asked me to go to his house. How can I not go?"
"Are the people in their family good to you?" This is what Chen Guilan was worried about. With Lu Jingyou's conditions, he can find any girl. Can he be sincere to Su Jiaojiao?
As someone who has been through this, Chen Guilan feels that Lu Jingyou is unreliable, and any capable man will not be loyal.
For example, Su Houli.
"It's pretty good." Su Jiaojiao said seriously, "They were very welcoming and even gave me a necklace and bracelet."
In fact, the meeting gift is secondary.
What matters is the thought and courtesy.
"I understand. I'll tell your uncle later." Chen Guilan didn't say anything else, but repeatedly urged, "Come back soon."
The next day, Chen Guisheng went to Century Garden to discuss the blind date with Chen Guilan.
Chen Guilan then told Chen Guisheng that Su Jiaojiao was dating. Chen Guisheng shook his head and said, "People from other places are unreliable. Jiaojiao is still young, how can you let her do what she wants?"
"Speaking of which, Jiaojiao and her boyfriend have known each other for several years. He comes from a well-off family and is a steady person." Chen Guilan had no choice but to tell Chen Guisheng the truth. "When he comes, second brother, please help vet him and meet him."
"You guys are keeping it a secret. We don't know anything about it." Chen Guisheng felt a little regretful after hearing this. "Let me tell you, Guilan, my friend Lao Xu is a big boss. He comes from a wealthy family. Lao Xu's nephew is also in college. He's the same age and class as our Jiaojiao. Last time I mentioned it to him and showed him Jiaojiao's photo, he was very satisfied and said we can date for a year and get married after graduation. Lao Xu said his sister's family has two houses near the municipal government, and the conditions are also very good."
He has never been to the imperial capital, but Old Xu has.
Old Xu said that the imperial capital is prosperous, but it is too far away, there is no sea, it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. In terms of climate, it is not as good as here!
"Brother, I'm not hiding this from you on purpose. I just think Jiaojiao is still young and dating while she's still in school. It's not certain whether it will work out or not, so there's no need to tell anyone." Chen Guilan was telling the truth. She had no opinion about Lu Jingyou, she just felt that he was too far away from her.
"I'll tell Jiaojiao when she comes back." Chen Guisheng didn't give up after hearing what Chen Guilan said. "We're from the same hometown, we know her inside and out. Isn't it better to find someone from outside the area?"
Lu Jingyou, a monkey from outside the city, was sitting in the office in a meeting when he suddenly sneezed.
He felt that Su Jiaojiao was thinking about him.
"Jiaojiao is very willing to be with her boyfriend, so you'd better not say anything, second brother." Chen Guilan had made up her mind. If Su Jiaojiao was really willing, she would follow her to the imperial capital.
"How can we know if we don't try?" Chen Guisheng explained to Chen Guilan earnestly, "Look, both our families have daughters. If Jiaojiao stays in Jiao County, she can also be looked after by Juanzi. They have been close friends since they were young, closer than real sisters. Although Jiaojiao is my niece, in my mind, she is the same as my own daughter."
"Then don't refuse them yet." Chen Guilan felt a glimmer of hope. "Let's wait until Jiaojiao comes back!"
It doesn’t matter even if I meet the parents, since we are not married or engaged anyway.
Just return their gift when the time comes. They are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others.
"Don't worry about that. Old Xu said his nephew is going on a trip during the winter break and won't be back until the end of the year. We still have time to work on Jiaojiao's thinking." Chen Guisheng was confident about this matter. "I'll have Juanzi persuade Jiaojiao again when the time comes."
Ever since Su Jiaojiao went to the old house once on New Year's Day, Mrs. Lu has been wanting her to go there again and even called her specially.
Su Jiaojiao said politely that she was very busy these two days and would go after the New Year.
Old Mrs. Lu also told her to come back early during the New Year and stay with her for a few more days.
Su Jiaojiao agreed readily.
Anyway, since Lu Jingyou is not at home, she won't go.
When Lin Manli found out, she was speechless and complained to Lin Manling, "Only the old lady treats Su Jiaojiao like a treasure. She calls her every few days and asks her to go to the old house to play. She also tells her to come back early after the New Year. It's hilarious."
"Your old lady is really confused. In my opinion, you should show her some power before she gets married to let her know that it's not easy to get into the Lu family." Lin Manling felt very uncomfortable when she heard that old lady Lu gave Su Jiaojiao a green jade necklace.
When Bai Moli went to visit Old Lady Lu, she did not see Old Lady Lu take out the green jade to give to Bai Moli.
"They're not from outside the province, but their families are so happy to marry a local!" Lin Manli snorted coldly, "Forget about showing off. They won't care even if I give them the cold shoulder. Su Jiaojiao knew I didn't like her, but she still came to my house anyway."
"That's because you're too kind and don't want to say anything too harsh," Lin Manling said disapprovingly. "If it were me, I'd definitely scold her so badly she couldn't even lift her head."
