Don't ask Lu Huaijiao how she knew.
Isn't this how most storylines are arranged?
She's someone who's lived two lives. Although she only lived to 85 in her previous life, she still watched some TV dramas, and that's how it was written in those dramas.
Besides, Lu Huaijiao didn't believe that Qin Lan would happen to be with Lu Zhengde by such a coincidence, and that she would happen to give birth to his child by such a coincidence. There must have been careful planning involved.
Her quick understanding was something even Zhang Yuan hadn't expected.
"Little Huaijiao".
Zhang Yuan's voice suddenly turned somewhat sad.
Lu Huaijiao's expression also became more serious as she looked at Zhang Yuan.
"Um?"
“If…” Zhang Yuan’s hand suddenly rested on her head: “If your mother had been as smart and insightful as you… her ending would not have been like this.”
If Xiao Wan could be as insightful, open-minded, and perceptive as the girl in front of her, able to see through people's hearts and Lu Zhengde at a glance, wouldn't the ending be very different?
Lu Huaijiao was stunned for a moment.
I never expected Zhang Yuan to say that.
It seems this uncle doesn't understand his mother very well.
"Uncle."
"Um?"
Now it was Zhang Yuan's turn to hesitate.
He looked at Lu Huaijiao, wondering what she wanted to say with her furrowed brows.
You've misunderstood my mother.
Lu Huaijiao spoke up.
Zhang Yuan: ? ? ?
Lu Huaijiao smiled softly and continued in her sweet voice, "My mother wasn't unaware of the situation. She probably just liked to deceive herself and still had unrealistic illusions about Lu Zhengde."
If she's a normal person (excluding her past life where she was mentally impaired), she should be able to sense if her man is having an affair with another woman.
She couldn't believe her mother felt nothing at all.
The only possibility is that her mother is deceiving herself and still harbors unrealistic fantasies about Lu Zhengde.
Did you roughly assume that the other person would come back?
However, her mother failed to understand one crucial principle: forbearance will not bring a cheating man back to his senses.
He'll only get worse.
And to make matters worse, the woman outside is quite cunning...
Lu Huaijiao suddenly found Qin Yanhua very interesting! To think that someone could dedicate decades to working hard for one thing, honestly, if it weren't for how disgusting this matter was, Lu Huaijiao would have been moved by Qin Yanhua's tenacity.
Tsk...
What kind of deep love must a man have for another woman for so many years?
Lu Huaijiao expressed her bewilderment.
Zhang Yuan was shocked by Lu Huaijiao's words.
He never expected that such a possibility would exist.
Xiao Wan... she actually knew back then that Lu Zhengde had other women outside? Then why... why did she still stay by Lu Zhengde's side?
"Perhaps it's for my own good?"
Lu Huaijiao smiled and guessed, "Or perhaps, my mother is really head over heels in love with him."
If it were her, such a thing would never happen to her.
No matter how much she loves the other person, if they cheat on her, she will never forgive them and will throw them away like trash!
Zhang Yuan: ...
Although many years had passed, when he heard the news again that Su Xiaowan was deeply in love with Lu Zhengde, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
His hands, resting on his lap, were clenched into fists.
Why? Why could a scoundrel like Lu Zhengde receive such deep love from Xiao Wan? Why? Why is this happening?
Zhang Yuan couldn't understand it.
Lu Huaijiao had no way to explain it to him.
Liking someone is the most irrational thing. Many people in this world come together in ways that seem unsuitable and illogical to outsiders, but often these are the people the other person loves with all their heart.
Su Xiaowan loved Lu Zhengde just as Gu Changzheng loved her...
Pshaw, why would you relate that to yourself?
Lu Huaijiao shook her head, quickly shaking off the terrible thoughts in her mind. She was such a good girl; she couldn't be compared to the fickle Lu Zhengde.
Gu Changzheng's falling in love with her was a clear and insightful choice.
Lu Zhengde is not worthy of being compared to her!
Discussing these topics before a meal was rather heavy. This directly resulted in Zhang Yuan not having much of an appetite for the rest of the meal.
Lu Huaijiao, on the other hand, was not affected in any way.
Compared to Zhang Yuan, she, Su Xiaowan's biological daughter, doesn't seem to stand up for Su Xiaowan as much as he does!
After finishing their meal, Lu Huaijiao packed up several portions of the restaurant's signature snacks for Gu Changzheng to take with him. When they got home, they gave them to Zheng Shujuan and Aunt Pang next door.
After Gu Changzheng delivered the snacks and returned home, he told Lu Huaijiao to stay home and sleep while he went out for a walk.
Lu Huaijiao yawned and made a sound.
With sleepy eyes, it looks like she could fall asleep in a second.
Gu Changzheng was incredibly soft-hearted.
He stepped forward, ruffled her hair, and then kissed her on the cheek.
"Go to sleep, your husband will be back after a short walk."
"Um……"
Without asking, Lu Huaijiao guessed that Gu Changzheng wanted to buy flower seedlings. She pointed to the pile of money he had placed on the table.
That was the compensation Zhu Guihua paid today.
Lu Huaijiao thought the money was too dirty and smelly, so she didn't use it to buy a wedding dress and a suit.
At that moment, she pointed to them and asked Gu Changzheng to take them out to spend.
“I have a rich baby.”
The way this man addressed her was completely arbitrary; he could change it however he pleased.
Lu Huaijiao's eyes, which were about to close, widened: "Gu Changzheng, have you been secretly saving money behind my back again?"
"..."
The little darling's focus is really quite different.
But then again, it seems like she gave me this money yesterday?
"Jiaojiao, here's the savings book you gave me yesterday."
Lu Huaijiao exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that it was actually given to her by her.
That's fine then; the money she gave me wasn't her secret stash.
Turning around and yawning, she walked towards the bed: "Use this money first. It's too dirty. A lot of it was taken out by Zhu Guihua from the soles of her shoes and from her underwear. Just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable and terribly unwell."
After saying that, she kicked off her slippers, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
If the blanket hadn't been soft enough, Gu Changzheng would have worried that she would have pressed on his stomach.
Even so, he still walked over with a doting smile and picked up the person who was sleeping face down, so that she could sleep in a lying position.
"Gu Changzheng..."
Just as Gu Changzheng was about to let go, Lu Huaijiao's voice rang out again from her sleep.
"If you're like Lu Zhengde, I won't want you anymore."
Gu Changzheng raised his head.
His gaze fell on Lu Huaijiao's sleeping face. Her breathing was even, and what she had just said was just talking in her sleep.
"Jiaojiao..."
He reached out, touched her cheek, and whispered a promise.
"You are more important to me than my own life."
