Chapter Ninety-Six: A Different Heart Has a Soul
This trip to buy gifts began with Su Xiaorou's chagrin and ended with her excitement.
Well, Lu Jingchuan is not so unreliable.
The joy of returning home made Su Xiaorou forget all her troubles for a while, so much so that Lu Jingchuan offered to go back to the Lu family manor for dinner in a timely manner, and she also agreed.
On the way back to the Lu family manor, the more Su Xiaorou thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Suddenly, he was blessed to his heart, "Elder Qi said that he fell in love with me, could it be that you made some deal with him behind his back?"
"You're thinking too much!"
Lu Jingchuan didn't squint, and replied seriously, "Old man Qi can't see small movements, of course, I don't bother to do that." ”
"Really?"
Su Xiaorou said suspiciously, obviously, she didn't believe Lu Jingchuan's statement.
"Hmm. ”
Lu Jingchuan nodded without changing his face.
In fact, he didn't lie to the little woman either. He really didn't have any unsightly deals with Qi Yuanshan, but he inadvertently saved Qi Yuanshan's life.
And because of Lu Jingchuan's unique insights in some aspects, it is rumored in the industry that the unruly Qi Lao is willing to become a New Year's friend with him.
As for Su Xiaorou, she was able to take away the treasure of Qi Yuanshan's town store for free, which stemmed from a wine conversation between the couple a few years ago.
At that time, Qi Yuanshan, who was already more excited, threw Mrs. Lu's entrustment out of the clouds, and he laughed at Lu Jingchuan's ghost character.
In the end, he also made a bet with Lu Jingchuan.
After waking up, Qi Lao was also annoyed.
It's just that over the years, not to mention women around Lu Jingchuan, there is not even a female fly, and Qi Yuanshan's heart has gradually returned to his stomach.
Some time ago, there were rumors of the marriage between the Lu and Su families in Liangcheng, and Qi Yuanshan also specially called Lu Jingchuan and said that he had observed the eldest lady of the Su family, the first lady in Liangcheng, and they had no fun.
As a result, it didn't take long for Lu Jingchuan to come to the door with his hidden wife Su Jia's daughter.
It's just that this Sufi is the same as the other.
Although Qi Yuanshan was heartbroken by the two treasures that were 'pitted', he also called Mrs. Lu as soon as they left, and sighed on the phone:
"The stinky boy has a good eye, that girl is really worthy of him!"
Of course, Su Xiaorou didn't know about this stubble, just like she didn't know the origin between Lu Jingchuan and Qi Yuanshan.
Back at the Lu family manor, it was still early for dinner.
Lu Jingchuan went back to the study to deal with work, while Su Xiaorou chatted with Mrs. Lu.
"Grandma, give you a New Year's gift. ”
Su Xiaorou generously handed the brocade box to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu does not have the momentum of the legendary strong woman in the shopping mall at home, she is completely an ordinary old lady, and she is more like an excited child at this time.
"Good boy. ”
She patted the back of Su Xiaorou's hand, and couldn't wait to open the gift box.
"Yikes!"
The moment she saw the Jade Buddha, although she was already mentally prepared, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but exclaim.
Su Xiaorou's tense heart instantly rose to her throat, "Doesn't grandma like it?"
Mrs. Lu was very excited, so excited that she couldn't speak, only waved her hand again and again.
"Young lady, old lady likes it too much. ”
Aunt Lin acted as a translator on the side, "Your vision is so good, this Jade Buddha is very suitable for the old lady." ”
Old Lady Lu held the Jade Buddha in one hand and nodded again and again.
Can her Lin Wanzhen's granddaughter-in-law have a bad eye? This is the treasure of the old man Qi's town store that has been picked at once, no wonder there is still a little indignation in the tone of the old man on the phone just now.
"Xiaorou, you have a heart!"
Old Mrs. Lu held Su Xiaorou's hand and looked at her kindly.
Su Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, I was just in charge of picking out the gifts. ”
She didn't take credit, but actually told the old lady that the place was taken to her by Lu Jingchuan, and the Jade Buddha was obtained by Qi Lao for free.
"Speaking of which, this gift shouldn't be considered by me. ”
"The heart is the most important thing. Mrs. Lu said, "Although the Jade Buddha is precious, what grandma values most is the filial piety of her granddaughter-in-law." ”
After hearing these words, Su Xiaorou's heart wanted to say that she was not moved, it was fake.
She knew very well that the old lady was unhappy when she went to Su's house to change the marriage contract. After all, it was she who calculated Lu Jingchuan by 'extraordinary means'.
However, to this day, Su Xiaorou can really feel that the old lady treats her as a granddaughter-in-law.
She thought that she had done nothing, and that it was all a compromise of the old lady.
Because of this, Su Xiaorou felt even more uncomfortable.
She couldn't tell Mrs. Lu: Don't be so nice to me, Lu Jingchuan and I will be separated soon!
If her divorce from Lu Jingchuan is to get everything back on track, then she will still hurt this old lady who treats him sincerely in the end.
"If Grandma likes it, it's fine. Su Xiaorou lowered her eyes, "Grandma, I'll go see Lu ...... Ah Chuan!"
"There you go!"
Mrs. Lu is very understanding.
Su Xiaorou walked briskly towards the upstairs study.
She was afraid that with the wisdom of the old lady, she would see the water vapor in her eyes, which would affect her next plan.
"The young lady seems to have something on her mind. ”
Aunt Lin looked at Su Xiaorou's hurried steps thoughtfully.
Mrs. Lu didn't see it.
Su Xiaorou's character, she saw it the day she went to Su's house to change her marriage partner, a girl who was very straightforward and couldn't rub a little sand in her eyes.
But she was a little squirming today.
Thinking of that incident, Mrs. Lu sighed slightly in her heart, "That's it, they will handle the affairs of the young people themselves." ”
She believes in what she feels, and she also believes in her grandson Lu Jingchuan.
When Su Xiaorou knocked on the door and entered, Lu Jingchuan was having a video conference.
Seeing her, he was slightly stunned, then announced the suspension of the meeting, raised his peach eyebrows, and looked at Su Xiaorou with a pair of deep black eyes that seemed to be smiling.
"Something?"
Su Xiaorou instinctively shook her head, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to, you are busy first, I ......"
Before she finished her words, Lu Jingchuan had already walked out from behind the desk and walked in front of her.
The two of them were so close that not only could they hear each other's heartbeats and breathing, but even his chin was gently resting on her head.
In the study, there was an instant ambiguity.
Su Xiaorou's head was blank for a long time before she reacted, she took a step back in a hurry, but because the action was too rapid and the force was too great, her whole body leaned back.
At the last moment, it was Lu Jingchuan's quick eyes and quick hands, and his long arms pulled her back.
Looking at each other, Su Xiaorou clearly felt that her heartbeat missed a beat, and then beat rapidly, as if she was jumping out of her chest at any time.
"It's already been disturbed, and it's too late to think about running away?"
The originally cold voice is now low and hoarse, like the sound of a cello, which is enough to make people intoxicated.
Su Xiaorou's face was red, "I didn't mean to." ”
"Well, you did it on purpose!"
