Chapter 510 Lin Manli's Thoughts
When Ding Linyu heard that Lu Jingyou was coming, she took the initiative to ask Xin Yao to go to the movies and left early.
Su Jiaojiao sat on the sofa watching TV as if nothing had happened, while Chen Guilan was busy boiling water for tea, washing fruits and waiting for them.
It was the first time for both Lin Manli and Lu Jiahe. As soon as they sat down, Lu Jiahe began to praise the layout and decoration of the house. He also praised Su Jiaojiao for being smart and capable. Chen Guilan didn't know how to respond: "It was all her own fault. Just make do with it!"
She didn't even come when Su Jiaojiao was decorating the house.
Anyway, it must have taken a lot of thought.
"You're already amazing, little girl." Lu Jiahe continued to praise, "When I was her age, I couldn't decorate a house."
"That's right, we don't understand these things now." Lin Manli rarely agreed with him.
Su Jiaojiao looked at Lu Jingyou, who understood and explained, "I just came out of the company, and my parents were waiting for me at the company door. They said they wanted to come over to see Auntie."
"Look at me, I'm just busy talking." Lin Manli took out a jade pendant necklace from her bag and gave it to Chen Guilan. "I picked this out for you at the jewelry exhibition. Let's each get one. I think it looks pretty good."
"It's quite pretty." Chen Guilan forced a smile, "It's just too expensive. I can't accept it. You should keep it for yourself!"
"You can't take back a gift you've given away." Lin Manli stuffed it into her hand, forcing a smile. "If you keep pushing it away, it means you dislike it."
Chen Guilan had no choice but to accept it. Lin Manli took out a small box from her bag and gave it to Su Jiaojiao: "This jade bracelet, although not as good as the necklace your grandma gave you, is also very good. Consider it a gift to calm you down."
She also understood it through the kidnapping incident.
What happened between Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao was a fact, and it would be useless for her to object. It would be better for her to just go with the flow and help them.
This way, the old lady wouldn't be the good guy and she would become the bad guy.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Jiaojiao took it, took a look, and said lightly, "It looks very nice."
It is a bracelet with a white background and green color, and the water content is good.
She had seen this bracelet in the old lady's jewelry box that time. The old lady wanted to give it to her, but she refused.
But it doesn't matter. In the future, she didn't think about getting along well with Lin Manli. People who are on different wavelengths can't get along well. There's no need.
"I'm sorry for what happened last time." Lu Jiahe didn't seem to know what to say except praising the house decoration. He cleared his throat and said, "In the end, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left Qingqing alone on the mountain..."
"It's all in the past." Su Jiaojiao smiled. She didn't want to dwell on this matter, nor did she want to mention it again.
"The old man and the old lady's birthday is in a few days. You must go. We can have a good chat then." Lu Jiahe stood up with a smile, "You have a good rest. We will go back first."
Lin Manli also stood up and walked out, still asking Chen Guilan to take good care of herself and said she would visit her another day.
Lu Jingyou hadn't said a few words to Su Jiaojiao yet. His parents were leaving, so he couldn't stay. When he went downstairs, he squeezed Su Jiaojiao's hand and said, "I'll come over to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning."
The mother and daughter sent the family of three downstairs and watched their car leave Jinyuan before returning home.
"What do they mean?" Chen Guilan felt strange. It had always been Old Lady Lu who stood in front and urged them to get married, but the couple remained indifferent.
Today, he came here on his own initiative.
"Who knows what they mean? Just let it be!" Su Jiaojiao didn't want to guess anyone's thoughts and ideas. From now on, she only focused on her own feelings.
Lu Qingqing said that after she came back, she had nightmares all the time and had been sleeping with her mother these days.
In fact, she also has nightmares.
Even when she smelled the scent of gardenia, she would instinctively get nervous, and the nervousness afterward was even more terrifying than when it happened.
Only then did she realize that she was not as strong as she had imagined. Even when watching TV, her heart would instinctively speed up when she saw a man in red clothes.
She also became afraid of the dark and always felt that someone was following her, even in her own home.
That night.
Su Jiaojiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of the abandoned factory, the enclosed space, and the pungent scent of gardenias.
The moon was dim outside the window, but she saw a masked figure walking towards her, holding a knife in his hand, which was shining brightly, getting closer and closer.
She wanted to call for help but couldn't open her mouth. She wanted to get up and run but couldn't move. She felt like someone was strangling her neck and suffocating.
After finally waking up, I realized it was all a dream. Chen Guilan was knocking on the door outside: "Jiao Jiao, what's wrong? Open the door quickly."
Su Jiaojiao opened the door, and Chen Guilan turned on the light. Seeing her face covered in sweat, she asked, "I heard you scream. Did you have a nightmare again?"
Su Jiaojiao nodded. The nightmare just now was too real and she was really scared.
"Having nightmares frequently is not good. It leaves a psychological scar." Ding Linyu also walked in. "You need to see a psychologist and get psychological intervention to get rid of it."
"I think you lost your soul." Chen Guilan touched Su Jiaojiao's forehead and palms. "When Xiao Lu comes tomorrow, I'll ask him to take me to that place and call your soul back."
"Mom, I'm fine now." Su Jiaojiao also recovered, "You all go back to your room and sleep!"
She will go to work tomorrow.
Just get busy.
The next morning, when Lu Jingyou arrived, Su Jiaojiao was still asleep. Chen Guilan told him about Su Jiaojiao's frequent nightmares. "If you're free today, take me to Xicheng District. I'll call her back."
She called Chen Guisheng in the morning and asked him to ask Old Lady Yin. Old Lady Yin said that Su Jiaojiao's symptoms were that she had lost her soul.
They said they would go to the scene of the incident and call back the soul.
"Okay, let's go now." Lu Jingyou didn't actually believe this, but since his mother-in-law had spoken, he still cooperated.
After Su Jiaojiao woke up, she heard that Chen Guilan and Lu Jingyou had just gone to Xicheng District to call back her soul. She was speechless: "It's such a long way, and you actually went there."
"It's not very far." Chen Guilan went to the abandoned factory, feeling heavy-hearted. "I even called Qingqing's name. If your souls come back with you, you won't have nightmares anymore."
When Chen Guilan saw the dilapidated factory building, her eyes turned red.
It was hard to imagine that the two of them were trapped in such a place for a whole night.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu celebrate their birthdays on the same day, which has always been a big event in the Lu family and is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, leaders of the company, both big and small, would come to celebrate his birthday. But this year, the company has become like this, so Mr. Lu only invited some relatives and friends and held a family dinner.
Lin Manling and Bai Moli were also there. Seeing Su Jiaojiao and Lu Qingqing chatting enthusiastically, the mother and daughter were very disdainful.
