Chapter 328 What's Wrong
But what if Lu Chao is really willing to repent?
Even though the Qiao family would never ignore Qiao Jingru, they still hoped that she could live a happy life.
"That's right. I'll go talk to Ruer. What matters most is her thoughts." Mrs. Qiao nodded.
If her daughter was determined not to live with Lu Chao, then as a mother, she would definitely stand on her daughter's side.
But since my daughter made this decision, she has become even more listless than before at home. In less than half a month, she has lost a lot of weight. If she continues like this, she might get sick.
Mrs. Qiao secretly wondered if her daughter was acting on impulse and was actually reluctant to part with Lu Chao, but every time she talked about it, she looked determined.
Liangchen moved a lounge chair and placed it under the grape vine rack. The setting sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting shadows on Qiao Jingru's face.
She lay on the recliner, looking at the grape leaves above her head with a blank expression.
"Madam." Liangchen knelt down and bowed when he saw Madam Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to be polite.
When Qiao Jingru heard Liangchen's greeting, she sat up from her chair and smiled at Madam Qiao: "Mother."
But the smile looks very empty and lifeless.
Mrs. Qiao was so heartbroken.
"Ruru, why do you look so listless? Did you have a good lunch?"
Mrs. Qiao touched Qiao Jingru's little face. She had only not visited her daughter for one day, so why did she become thinner again?
"Mom, it's okay. I ate well."
Mrs. Qiao didn't believe it and turned to look at Liangchen.
"Liangchen, you say."
Liangchen glanced at Qiao Jingru subconsciously, and was caught by Qiao Fu: "Don't look at your lady, tell the truth."
"To answer madam, the young lady only drank two sips of soup at noon and didn't eat anything else." Liangchen lowered his head and said honestly.
"Child, why don't you take care of yourself?" Mrs. Qiao was so anxious that her mouth was about to get angry.
Qiao Jingru smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, don't listen to Liangchen's exaggeration. It was because it was hot that I couldn't eat. I ate other things in between."
Liangchen silently complained in his heart: Yes, I drank a cup of tea.
Mrs. Qiao sat next to Qiao Jingru and sighed at her daughter. She looked like she had no appetite. Who would believe her if she said she had completely given up on Lu Chao?
What’s more, the baby came out of her belly. How could a mother not understand?
"If you really can't let it go, why not go back to the Lu family." Mrs. Qiao hesitated for a while and finally said.
Qiao Jingru looked at Mrs. Qiao in astonishment, not understanding why her mother suddenly said such a thing.
Ever since she decided to divorce, the whole family has been supporting and approving of it. Her mother has even been secretly discussing with her eldest sister-in-law which young man has good character to find a husband for her.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Qiao glanced at her daughter and sighed helplessly: "Lu Chao has been here."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingru suddenly grabbed Madam Qiao's hand, then realized that she was too excited, and pretended to be calm and asked, "What is he doing here?"
Look, look, I feel something is wrong when I hear Lu Chao's name.
It turns out that I have been pretending not to care these days.
Mrs. Qiao did not keep people on suspense and told Lu Chao the purpose of his visit.
"Mother can't be sure how much of his words are true or false, but since it concerns your happiness, you have the right to know Lu Chao's current attitude."
If my daughter finally softens her heart, then...
Mrs. Qiao thought about it and realized that no matter what, she couldn't bear to force her daughter.
Qiao Jingru stared blankly, somewhat surprised by Lu Chao's repentance. The calm lake of her heart was inevitably stirred up with faint ripples, but they were quickly suppressed.
He probably felt guilty about himself.
That's why I don't want to divorce and want to make it up to her.
But what I want is never sympathy.
Qiao Jingru closed her eyes and said calmly, "I understand, mother."
Mrs. Qiao: “…”
Well? That's it?
What does it mean to know?
He was clearly excited for a moment, but how come he suddenly became listless again?
Mrs. Qiao wanted to ask again, but seeing that her daughter didn't want to talk more, she couldn't bear to rub salt into her wounds.
This Lu Chao is so hateful. It hasn’t been long since they got married, but her lively and lovely daughter has become so depressed. It makes her so angry.
"Since you have no appetite, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles."
Qiao Jingru: "No need to trouble you, mother."
Mrs. Qiao stood up and said with a gentle smile, "How can it be troublesome to cook a bowl of noodles for my daughter? Just wait."
Having said that, Mrs. Qiao turned and left.
It’s very late at night.
There was not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight in the inky sky.
Lu Chao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
A while ago, he thought Qiao Jingru was angry so she went back to her parents' home, thinking that he would go to Qiao's house to pick her up after his injury healed, but he never expected that he would receive a divorce letter.
In the quiet room, Lu Chao particularly missed the noisy chattering of Qiao Jingru.
I was blinded by my greed, so I turned a blind eye to her kindness.
Lu Chao turned over again. He had never known that missing someone could be so painful that it would gnaw at one's bones. He had never felt this way towards Rong Yin.
After tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sat up from the bed, picked up the crutch beside him, and went out in his undershirt.
The whole mansion was silent, with only the chirping of cicadas in the trees.
There was a lantern hanging every few meters. With the help of the faint candlelight, Lu Chao stood at the gate of Qixia Courtyard.
"Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, are you asleep? Third sister, third sister, open the door."
Lu Chao knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
When no one responded, he kept knocking.
Lu Xiang was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard Lu Chao's evil voice outside penetrate the door and rush into his ears.
She covered her head with the quilt, but it was of no use.
"Lu... Chao..."
Lu Xiang couldn't sleep because of the noise and was grinding his teeth in anger.
She angrily threw off the quilt, got out of bed, pushed open the door, and saw Yun Zha yawning and walking towards the courtyard gate with sleepy eyes.
"Yunzha, I'll go open the door, you go to sleep."
Yun Zhe turned back blankly, and after a long pause, she shook her head and said, "I am not sleepy."
After saying that, he strode to open the door.
"Xiang... Ouch..."
Lu Chao was leaning against the door. Yun Zha opened the door suddenly and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
If his leg wasn't broken, he wouldn't be unable to stand steadily, but now he was using a crutch, so there was no doubt that he would fall.
Yun Zha was startled and quickly reached out to support the man. His leg was already broken, and if he fell again, he might break two more.
As a result, Yun Zha’s sleepiness was really gone.
"Master, why are you here so late?"
Oh my God, why is he knocking on the door in the middle of the night? What's wrong with the young master?
