Chapter 327 Guard the Door
Lu Chao was squeezed by Qiao Zeran so much that he wanted to find a crack to hide in, but when he thought that if he couldn't even bear all this, he would forget about taking Qiao Jingru back.
"Third brother, I was ignorant in the past, but I really regret it. I will never do anything to let Jingru down again." Lu Chao bowed deeply and said sincerely.
Now he turns pale at the mention of mistresses.
Previously, he thought Zhao Qingya was gentle and considerate, but unexpectedly, she became his father's aunt. Lu Chao instantly saw through Zhao Qingya's intention of pursuing wealth and status. He was angry for a while and then forgot about her.
Later, he met Rong Yin, who was elegant, considerate and thought she was his confidante, but who knew she was actually a poisonous snake.
Not only was she hypocritical towards him, but she also teamed up with Aunt Yao to plot against him.
Qiao Zeran squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Chao, then snorted, "Who would believe that? Guard the door and don't let him in, you hear me?"
He said this to the servant guarding the gate, then walked away, fanning himself.
Lu Chao looked at Qiao Zeran's departing back, opened his mouth, then took a deep breath and walked towards the mansion.
The servants gritted their teeth and reached out to stop Lu Chao.
"Forgive me, sir. I cannot let you in."
Lu Chao: "I just want to talk to your lady."
The servant pretended to be calm and puffed out his chest, looking as if there was no room for negotiation, but tears were streaming down his face. If the son-in-law and the young lady reconciled in the future, would the servant bear a grudge and make things difficult for them?
For a moment, the servants didn't know whether to pray that the young lady would quickly divorce her husband, or hope that the two of them would reconcile as before.
It's too difficult.
"Jingru, Jingru..." Seeing that the servants would not let her go, Lu Chao shouted at the door at the top of his voice: "Jingru, are you there? Jingru..."
The servant was frightened by Lu Chao's sudden shout.
Just as they were stunned, Lu Chao pushed them aside and rushed into Qiao's house, shouting as he ran: "Jingru, where are you? Jingru...Qiaoqiao..."
Wen Ruoxi was reporting to Mrs. Qiao on the Qiao family's affairs over the past six months. When they heard Lu Chao's voice, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Mom, I heard someone calling for my fifth sister."
Mrs. Qiao frowned. Although she had not met her son-in-law many times, she was always particularly attentive to the people her daughter liked. She immediately recognized that it was Lu Chao's voice.
"It's Lu Chao."
Wen Ruoxi had never seen this fifth brother-in-law before, and was surprised when she heard this: "Why is he here?"
"Zhiyan is not going to the Lu family to deliver the divorce letter today."
Wen Ruoxi understood instantly what Mrs. Qiao said, so she came for the divorce letter.
"What does he mean by this? Is he going to settle the score later because he can't get over his relationship with He Li?"
Wen Ruoxi has only spent a short time with her sister-in-law, but everyone in the Qiao family treats her like a treasure. As the eldest sister-in-law, Wen Ruoxi naturally loves her sister-in-law as well.
The Qiao family has a good family tradition and does not allow concubines and other such unpleasant women to appear. Wen Ruoxi is both the legal wife and a woman, so naturally she is very dissatisfied with Lu Chao who has a mistress.
Madam Qiao slammed the table in anger: "He dares to come and settle the score. Do I have to sacrifice Ruer's reputation and ask him to divorce her for the sake of Lu Chao's face?"
Officials from the Lu family cannot be so unreasonable.
"Mom, calm down. I'll go talk to him." Wen Ruoxi said, and stood up, holding her waist.
Mrs. Qiao saw this and hurriedly pulled her to sit down: "You are pregnant, don't let him bump into you, sit down quickly, I will go and listen to what he wants to do."
Wen Ruoxi is due to give birth in two months, and her belly is as big as a ball. Mrs. Qiao helps her take care of the affairs in the mansion because she is afraid that she will overwork, and she dares not ask her to go out to deal with Lu Chao.
Wen Ruoxi touched her belly and nodded in agreement without arguing with Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao left the main courtyard and before she reached the hanging flower gate, she saw Lu Chao rushing towards her.
"mother!"
When Lu Chao saw Mrs. Qiao, he called out happily.
Mrs. Qiao's body suddenly shook.
This was the first time she had heard her son-in-law call her "mother" so excitedly and joyfully from his mouth since her daughter got married. In the past, he always called her mother-in-law in a proper manner. Although it meant the same thing, it was not as intimate as today. All the momentum that Mrs. Qiao had prepared was shattered by this word "mother".
It doesn't look like he's here to settle a score.
While Mrs. Qiao was thinking, Lu Chao had already jumped in front of her, smiling and shouting, "Mother, I am sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me."
His eyebrows and eyes are extremely handsome, and his facial features are gentle yet masculine. His brows are like two sharp swords slanting up to the sky, and under his high nose, his lips are firmly lined with a smile.
Mrs. Qiao secretly compared them in her mind and found that her third son, who was the best looking among her sons, was much inferior to Lu Chao when standing next to him.
"Master Lu, you are too polite. You and my son have already divorced. I cannot bear to call you mother."
"Mother, I won't divorce you. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
Lu Chao immediately showed a look of grievance, which made Mrs. Qiao dumbfounded. She almost couldn't keep her cold expression.
"Ruru has already given you a chance." What did Lu Chao do the last time he brought Ruuru back to the Qiao family?
He would rather live a hard life with his mistress outside than say a word about taking Ruer back.
Lu Chao opened his mouth, feeling deeply powerless.
No one believed that he would change, and no one believed that he would be devoted to Qiao Jingru in the future.
Could it be that he could only watch Qiao Jingru leave him and there was nothing he could do to save the situation?
When Lu Chao thought that Qiao Jingru would no longer have anything to do with him in the future, he felt a tightness in his chest that made it hard for him to breathe.
no!
"Mom, let me say a few words to Qiao Qiao." Lu Chao looked at Mrs. Qiao anxiously and pleaded.
"No need, Master Lu, please go back." Madam Qiao refused: "If Ru'er wants to see you, I will find someone to pass the message to you. Now let's save some face for both parties. Master Lu, take care."
This is an order to expel you.
Seeing Mrs. Qiao's cold expression, Lu Chao was reluctant to leave like this, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Mom, I'll go back first and come back later."
"Yeah." Mrs. Qiao responded lightly.
Lu Chao turned around and left, looking back every few steps.
Mrs. Qiao waited until she saw him leave the front door before returning to the main courtyard and telling Wen Ruoxi why Lu Chao had come.
"Lu Chao doesn't want to divorce, he wants to ask for Ru'er's forgiveness, look at this..."
When Wen Ruoxi heard Lu Chao's intention to make peace, her expression softened: "Mom, why don't you ask my little sister what she thinks? She is the one who lives her life, and her happiness is the most important thing."
Everyone in the Qiao family knew how much Qiao Jingru loved Lu Chao. If she hadn't been heartbroken, she would never have gone to the point of divorce.
