Chapter 511 Family Banquet
Bai Moli and Lu Qingqing often played together when they were young, but gradually became estranged as they grew up, especially after they went to college, they had no contact.
Compared with Lu Qingqing, Bai Moli is a precocious girl. When she was young, she could easily spend all of Lu Qingqing's pocket money, and she did it with a clear conscience.
At that time, although the Lu family was well-off, pocket money was not given out casually. Every time Lu Qingqing realized it later, she would cry.
But whenever Bai Moli wanted something, Lu Qingqing would buy it for her.
She treated Bai Moli as a friend, and she also knew that Bai Moli had no money.
After a long time, Lu Qingqing realized that she had been used by Bai Moli for so many years, and not just financially.
Then, Bai Moli asked Lu Qingqing to go shopping with her again, but Lu Qingqing refused to go because she didn't want to be taken advantage of again.
Bai Moli thought that Lu Qingqing looked down on her, so she stopped asking her out.
Now, Jiahe Group has gone bankrupt, Lu Jiaping has been arrested, and Lu Qingqing has become the daughter of a fraudster. She has fallen from the clouds to the mud. Haha, she deserves it!
As for Su Jiaojiao, she was even more annoying. She suppressed her mother everywhere in Wudaokou, causing her mother's store to be unable to sell the goods. They haven't settled the score with her yet!
In fact, she was lucky. If she had continued to associate with Lu Qingqing, she might have been the one kidnapped.
Thinking about how the two of them were held hostage by the kidnappers for a day and a night, Bai Moli felt particularly happy and thought that God was helping her.
Lu Qingqing noticed Bai Moli's gaze and became even more disdainful. She pulled Su Jiaojiao away and said, "It's too noisy outside. Let's go to my brother's room and talk."
Su Jiaojiao knew that Lu Jingyou usually lived in the old house, but she didn't know that his house was so big and even had a small living room and study.
"This is the wedding room my grandparents specially decorated for you. They finished it last year." Lu Qingqing smiled. "My brother only allows me to go into the living room and study. He never lets me go into the bedroom. But you can go in. Do you want to go to his bedroom and take a look?"
"I don't care what he does in the bedroom. Just sit here." Su Jiaojiao saw that the small living room was covered with carpet, so she took off her shoes and walked in. The small living room was connected to the study, separated by a custom-made bookshelf, which was very cozy.
"From now on, this will be your room." Lu Qingqing closed the door to the living room and said excitedly, "Now that you're here, I'll have company. Let's go shopping together and go out to eat together without my brother."
Su Jiaojiao just smiled.
Old Mrs. Lu and her two daughters-in-law chatted with Chen Guilan and other female guests. Song Xiangyun and Pei Lan were also there. Because Lu Jiaping's matter was too sensitive, they talked about the weather and clothes, and finally naturally talked about Lu Jingyou and Su Jiaojiao's marriage.
Lin Manling and Bai Moli sat on the side, listening quietly. They come here every year, and this year is no exception.
If they don't come this year, it will seem that they are heartless and disloyal.
Song Xiangyun said that she was a matchmaker and hoped to use her eloquence to facilitate the marriage as soon as possible, and then she could earn a matchmaker reward.
The matchmaker's thank-you gift was a pork leg.
"Then you work harder, and we will provide two pork legs." Old Mrs. Lu is the birthday girl today. She is wearing a custom-made Tang suit and looks particularly energetic. She looked around, but didn't see Su Jiaojiao and Lu Qingqing.
"I saw them go to Jingyou's room." Wu Xinyue kept an eye on her daughter.
"Moli, go play with them too!" Old Mrs. Lu looked at Bai Moli, "You are all the same age, and you can talk to each other."
"Grandma, they have a common language, so I won't bother them." Bai Moli said with a smile, "I still want to listen to what Grandma says."
"Look, this girl has been sweet-mouthed since she was young. She is so likable." Old Mrs. Lu smiled happily. Lin Manling curled the corners of her mouth. No matter how much she liked them, they could not compare to Lu Qingqing and Su Jiaojiao.
Over the years, Mrs. Lu never gave Bai Moli a decent piece of jewelry, but gave Su Jiaojiao one piece after another.
Mr. Lu, Lu Jia and Lu Jingyou accompanied the male guests in the study to drink tea and chat. Except for a few shareholders of the company who came uninvited, the others were old friends who knew each other well, as well as relatives like Bai Ming.
The men talked about a wider range of topics, but they talked most about the company's problems. In front of everyone, Mr. Lu reviewed himself and said that the responsibility for the company's bankruptcy was his and that he had not educated his son well.
Once the liquidation is completed, he will settle all his debts even if he has to sell the house, and he will never default on his debts.
Everyone tried to comfort him, saying that running a business is never smooth sailing and that he would definitely make a comeback in a few years.
Besides, the Lu family has not really declined.
Lu Jingyou's projects in the suburbs of Beijing are even more prosperous than Jiahe Group back then. The industries under Lu Jiahe's name are enough to provide his family with a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.
Lu Jingyou sat for a while and then went to the living room. He didn't see Su Jiaojiao. Song Xiangyun saw it and pointed to the small living room.
Lu Jingyou pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Su Jiaojiao and Lu Qingqing sitting on the sofa with their legs crossed, chatting. There were two glasses of plum juice on the coffee table. He joked, "You guys found a good place."
"Hey, big brother, we just chatted for a few minutes and you come over to disturb us." Lu Qingqing saw him come in and said coquettishly, "Go out, let's chat for a while."
"You're the one who should leave, not me." Lu Jingyou was dressed formally to entertain guests, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black suit pants, and a tie, which made him look even more handsome. He sat down next to Su Jiaojiao as soon as he came in and said to Lu Qingqing seriously, "I have something to discuss with my wife. Please step aside and come back later."
"Is there something I can't listen to?" Lu Qingqing blinked, reacted belatedly, and walked out tactfully.
"What are you doing!" Su Jiaojiao scolded, "We were really chatting!"
"What do you think I'm doing..." Lu Jingyou reached out to lock the door of the living room, picked her up from the sofa and went into the bedroom.
The curtains in the bedroom were drawn, making it dark and ambiguous.
Su Jiaojiao blushed and said, "There are so many people outside..."
"I really have something to tell you." Lu Jingyou put her on the bed and lay down on it himself. He bent down and kissed her, whispering, "The other day when your mother and I went to Xicheng District, we discovered that the abandoned factory building was the site of the Yunran Building."
"Why don't I remember?" Su Jiaojiao understood, as if a string in her heart suddenly broke. She knew what Lu Jingyou meant. He meant that she had accidentally passed that node in her previous life.
The road ahead is the road that you have not walked in your previous life.
"Because in a few years, the surrounding villages will be demolished, the road behind will be expanded, and the reservoir will be filled in. There will be no trace of today." Lu Jingyou reached out and pulled her into his arms, looking at her with emotion, "I love you, let's get married!"
