Chapter 483 It takes two to tango
Both of them came by car.
After leaving the outpatient building, Su Jiaojiao opened the car door and got into her car without looking back. When she turned around, she saw Lu Jingyou standing in front of the car window looking at her. She rolled down the window and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Did you leave something in my car?" Lu Jingyou asked her. Su Jiaojiao looked down at her bag and said, "No!"
"You really did leave something on my car. If you don't believe me, go over and take a look." Lu Jingyou pointed to the car next to him and opened the door to show her, "First of all, let me make it clear that I didn't touch it."
Su Jiaojiao didn't remember leaving anything in his car, but she got out anyway and sat in the back seat. Lu Jingyou followed suit and sat next to her. Like a magic trick, he pulled out a beautifully wrapped cardboard box from the passenger seat and handed it to her: "Open it and take a look."
Inside the big box were six small mahogany boxes with hollowed-out patterns.
It looks very delicate.
"What is this?" Su Jiaojiao was confused. "It's not mine."
"It's yours now." Lu Jingyou opened one of the small boxes for her. Inside was a platinum necklace inlaid with a blue heart-shaped pendant. "Does it look good?"
"They look good." Su Jiaojiao understood, "Why did you think of buying these for me?"
"I didn't think you would like it before, so I didn't think of buying it for you." As soon as Lu Jingyou saw her reaction, he knew that the gift was right. "I saw that my grandma and my mom both gave jewelry as gifts, so I realized that you like these."
"I like it, but I seldom wear it on weekdays." Su Jiaojiao is not interested in these jewelries. She seldom goes to jewelry stores and always feels that they are not very comfortable to wear.
"Come, I'll help you put it on." Lu Jingyou picked up the necklace, lifted her hair, revealing her fair neck. He resisted the urge to kiss her and clumsily put it on her neck. However, a few pieces of hair were tangled in the buckle, and it took him a while to get it right.
"Mr. Lu's hands are only suitable for signing contracts." When helping her put on a necklace, he pulled out several hairs. Su Jiaojiao rubbed her neck and took out a mirror from her bag to look at herself. It was not bad. The platinum color matched her skin tone very well.
"Looks good, doesn't it?" Lu Jingyou hugged her naturally, squeezed his face into the mirror, and said seriously, "Now I know why I was single in my previous life. I always thought you were the one who didn't understand romance, but now I think it was actually me."
Qi Heng was right. The value of a gift was not the gift itself, but the emotional value it gave her, including a sense of security.
If he had expressed his love directly in his previous life, perhaps they would have had a different ending.
He will never let go again in this life.
"Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. After talking to your mother today, I actually don't want to talk to you anymore." Su Jiaojiao looked at him more seriously. "I'm not saying that I have to argue with your mother to decide who is right or wrong, but we simply can't agree. Maybe you think I'm good now, but you can't guarantee that in the future you will think I'm too tough and that I don't respect your mother. In fact, I only have one request. If we can't be open and honest, just maintain superficial courtesy."
She didn't want to live like her mother, who always compromised and tried to make a good impression on others, but in the end was still not liked by her mother-in-law and husband.
Therefore, we should think about everything in reverse. Why should we give others a perfect impression at the beginning? If we give others a perfect impression at the beginning, we will lose points later.
She is not RMB and cannot be liked by everyone, so she is who she is and there is no need to please anyone.
"This is my problem, not yours." Lu Jingyou understood his mother. He himself didn't get along well with his mother, let alone Su Jiaojiao, so it was ultimately his problem. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and kissed her, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's look at the gifts first!"
"Why are there six small boxes?" Su Jiaojiao saw five identical small mahogany boxes in the box, just like the ones purchased wholesale.
If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.
Anyway, no one can avoid this matter.
"Six gifts, representing the six years we've spent together." Lu Jingyou opened another small mahogany box, revealing a pair of platinum earrings, also with blue pendants. Su Jiaojiao touched her ears, "I had my ears pierced when I was a child, and I haven't worn earrings in a while. Maybe they're no longer suitable."
"You can wear this ring." Lu Jingyou opened another mahogany box, which also contained a diamond ring. He helped her put it on her slender finger. "This diamond is a little smaller, suitable for everyday wear. When you get engaged and married, you can buy a bigger one."
The remaining three small wooden boxes all contained necklaces, but with different styles and diamonds.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Su Jiaojiao put all six small mahogany boxes into her bag. She looked at her watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. "I should go back."
Seeing that he was sitting still, I asked him again, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"Of course I have something to say." Lu Jingyou took advantage of the situation and threw her onto the back seat. Su Jiaojiao instinctively resisted, "It would be embarrassing if someone saw us..."
"You can't see from outside my car." He took her bag, put it aside, leaned over and kissed her, "I will use my actions to prove my love for you in the future..."
It was already past two o'clock when Lu Jingyou returned to the old house.
Lin Manli was about to take Mrs. Lu to the hospital to visit Mr. Lu. Seeing that he had just returned at this time, she asked, "Your grandfather said you left the hospital before eleven o'clock. Where did you go?"
"I had dinner with Jiao Jiao, then went to the company before coming back." Lu Jingyou sat down on the sofa. "You don't have to go. I just called Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu said he just asked the doctor and he said he could come back to stay tonight. They will be back soon."
Just as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu's cell phone rang, and Mr. Lu said she didn't need to come over, and he would be home soon.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put down their bags and brought the porridge to the kitchen. When Mrs. Lu heard that Su Jiaojiao had also gone to the hospital, she asked Lu Jingyou, "Why didn't you bring Jiaojiao back for lunch? Why did you come back alone?"
"She has something to do, so she's going back first." Lu Jingyou looked at Lin Manli and said, "Mom, I was impulsive about what happened yesterday. It has nothing to do with her."
"It takes two to tango. I know you're also at fault, I just didn't say anything to Su Jiaojiao in front of you." Lin Manli knew Lu Jingyou would side with Su Jiaojiao. "I don't care what you two are arguing about, but you can't make it public and make a fool of yourself. I was just giving her a heads up, but she's so good that I say one thing and she's got ten more waiting for her."
If Su Jiaojiao had a better attitude, she wouldn't have said those words.
When she was getting along with Yan Xuewei before, she had given Yan Xuewei some suggestions, and she had always accepted them calmly. She knew that Yan Xuewei loved her because she loved everyone in her.
The reason why Su Jiaojiao confronted her was that she was essentially not very attentive to Lu Jingyou.
Her son is in a serious relationship, but Su Jiaojiao may not be the same. Girls from small places who can gain a foothold in a big city like the imperial capital are all tough characters.
"You'd better not interfere in our affairs from now on, unless you want me to be single for the rest of my life." Lu Jingyou really couldn't understand. He had had several in-depth talks with his mother, and his mother also said that she would no longer interfere in their affairs and that she would slowly accept Su Jiaojiao.
But why does she keep going back on her word again and again?
"Manli, that's your fault. When they have a conflict, you can only come back and talk about Jingyou, not Jiaojiao." Mrs. Lu understood and said unhappily, "She hasn't married into the family yet. Even if she does, she's still my daughter-in-law. Think about it, when you and Jiahe were arguing, when did I ever take Jiahe's side? Why can't you figure it out now that it's your turn?"
"Mom, I just reminded her to save face for Jingyou in everything." Lin Manli felt that the old lady was also confused by Su Jiaojiao. "Jingyou is different from Jiahe. Jingyou has been well-behaved since he was a child and has never done anything out of line. Even if he has a small mistake, it won't cause trouble in the streets."
"Jingyou is your son, so of course you think everything he does is right. If Jiaojiao were your daughter, you wouldn't think so." Old Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Manli with some disappointment. "You know I've been dreaming of marrying her as soon as possible. Not only do you refuse to cooperate, but you also keep causing trouble for her. You're not just trying to remind her, it's clear that you even despise me..."
"Mom, I didn't..." Lin Manli didn't understand why the old lady thought this way. "I didn't embarrass her. I really went to remind her."
"When you remind her, you're reminding me." Old Mrs. Lu stood up and said, "After your father is discharged from the hospital, I will move to Jinyuan to live, so I won't be a nuisance to you."
Lin Manli: “…”
