Moreover, although Su Ziqing is not yet a member of the Gong family, the Lu family should at least show her some respect!
“If you need anything, just ask my brother. If it weren’t for you, how could my brother have gotten into this mess?” Lu Beibei’s tears fell.
Because the wedding fell through, the siblings' relationship began to break down.
Lu Linghong blamed her for being nosy.
However, she felt she had done nothing wrong; she had done what a younger sister should do!
"I'm sorry..." Su Ziqing was indeed very guilty. Lu Beibei was right. If it weren't for her, Lu Linghong wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
She should have taken a taxi to the Gong family's place, but for convenience, she called Lu Linghong instead...
It was her fault.
Lu Beibei's accusations were not wrong.
"What's the use of saying sorry? You jinx, why don't you stay away from my brother? Don't you know you're cursed to bring bad luck to your family and friends?!"
"Beibei!!"
"Miss Lu!!" Xiang Liyi shouted coldly, her voice rang out at the same time as Lu's mother's stern voice.
Lu Beibei's words were too much.
But Lu Beibei, who had been hurt by Lu Linghong, couldn't control her emotions at this moment. "Did I say something wrong? She's always been a jinx, bringing bad luck to relatives and friends! She knows it herself!"
"My older brother promised to have lunch with me today!" Lu Beibei cried uncontrollably, her hand trembling as she pointed at Su Ziqing, "But he stood me up for her sake, and now he's lying here!"
Su Ziqing remained silent; she could not escape any of Lu Beibei's accusations.
“Miss Lu, your brother is an adult, he knows what he’s doing!” Xiang Liyi said to Lu Beibei with the air and attitude of a matriarch.
"Madam Gong." Madam Lu apologized on behalf of her daughter, then looked at Su Ziqing with a rather indifferent expression. "Miss Su, thank you for coming to see Ling Hong. You are also injured, so you should go back and recover first."
These words are tantamount to an expulsion order; the Lu family does not welcome Su Ziqing to visit Lu Linghong here.
Although it was ridiculous to resent Su Ziqing, seeing their precious son and their dearest older brother lying there in critical condition, both Lu Beibei and her mother needed an outlet to vent their anger.
And Su Ziqing is now at that point.
If he hadn't been carrying Su Ziqing, Lu Linghong wouldn't have been in this accident.
If Lu Linghong were at work as usual, having lunch with his sister as planned, there would be nothing there.
Su Ziqing could sense Lu's mother's coldness and rejection.
She could only nod, lest she further alienate the Lu family.
"If Master... Ling Hong wakes up, let me know," Su Ziqing said.
Lu's mother simply responded with a light "hmm," her attitude perfunctory.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Linghong is currently unfit to move, they wouldn't want him to stay in the same hospital as Su Ziqing.
Is someone out of their mind to protect a woman who won't love them or belong to them?
“Beibei has always been close to her brother. She was just worried about him, which is why she spoke so carelessly. Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Su.” After saying this, Madam Lu looked at Xiang Liyi and said, “We’ve made a fool of ourselves in front of Madam Gong. The Lu family has not raised their daughter well.”
The fact that the matriarch of the Gong family takes care of Su Ziqing—what does this imply? Lu's mother could actually see it.
Thinking of her foolish son, she could only sigh inwardly, "Don't cling to what doesn't belong to you."
Although Xiang Liyi was unhappy with Lu Beibei's attitude just now, she didn't intend to hold it against Lu Linghong and Su Ziqing, and nodded.
Su Ziqing was pushed away by Xiang Liyi, but Lu Beibei still shouted at her, "Can you stay away from my brother, Miss Su!"
"Beibei!" Lu's mother scolded again.
The Lu family wouldn't interfere in someone's social interactions like that.
Lu Beibei, however, did the dirty work. Ignoring her mother's objections, she said to Su Ziqing's retreating figure, "My older brother likes you, you know that, right?"
He liked her so much that he was willing to accept being a father unintentionally, and even helped her deceive her family...
He loved her so much that his first instinct was to protect her when his life was in danger.
However, this kind of liking is simply a hopeless pursuit.
Moreover, this wasn't even an accident. Heaven knows how much more trouble the Gong family and Su Ziqing will face.
But these things had nothing to do with her older brother!
Although Su Ziqing felt guilty about Lu Linghong's accident, Lu Beibei's unreasonable behavior was really disliked.
Is it because I've been playing with Su Enen too much?
She must have heard more negative things about herself from Su Enen, which gave her a preconceived negative impression from the start.
However, given the Lu family's excellent upbringing, she should understand that people have the freedom to socialize.
Even when she befriended Su Enen, Lu Linghong only reminded her, he didn't force her, right?
Su Ziqing stopped Xiang Liyi from pushing her forward, then turned the wheelchair around and looked at Lu Beibei. "Miss Lu, I think you know why you didn't like me in the first place."
After a pause, Su Ziqing continued, "I feel very guilty and sad about today's accident. However, the relationship between you and your older brother is not what you think. I did not take advantage of his affection to make a living."
"My acquaintance and friendship with my senior are the reasons why we would still go to great lengths for each other. It's not just what you see as mere liking."
After saying that, she apologized to Lu's mother, "I'm so sorry."
Then she said to Lu Beibei, "You hang out with someone like Su Enen, and your older brother didn't forbid you from associating with her, did he?"
"So, you're telling me to stay away from my senior brother? I'm sorry, I can't do it. I won't do it because of what you said, unless my senior brother decides to do it." After saying this, Su Ziqing turned her wheelchair around.
Thinking of something, she added, "Also, I don't know where you heard about being cursed, but even if I am cursed, superstitions only say it applies to relatives, not friends."
The moment something happened, they brought it up about her broken hand, and even said that Su Enen's previous words had a subtle influence?!
Xiang Liyi didn't say a word the whole time. She thought Su Ziqing would be too guilty to refute the attacks from the Lu family.
It's fine as it is now...
Nobody wants things to go wrong, but one thing at a time.
Furthermore, Lu Linghong did it voluntarily. Does that mean that if someone's family doesn't like them, they should be forbidden from playing with them? Do they think he's a three-year-old?
Lu Beibei chuckled and turned to look at her mother, "Mommy, listen to her..."
"Beibei, what about your upbringing?" Mr. Lu finally spoke up. "Don't interfere in your older brother's affairs with Miss Su."
The two companies also have business collaborations.
Just stay away if you don't like it? The circle is only so big.
