Chapter 57: It's Time to Try Something Else
As soon as Aunt Qiao's words fell, Su Yue became uncontrollable and flustered.
She didn't expect to be questioned so directly by Aunt Qiao.
And at this time, she remembered that if she and Shao Dongqing were really dating, in the eyes of Aunt Qiao and others, it would be cheating in marriage.
But this is not the first time this kind of thing happened, the last time there was a scandal, she had already explained it to Aunt Qiao, and Aunt Qiao also believed it at that time.
Now she finally calmed down a little, and asked instead, "Aunt Qiao, why are you asking that?"
Aunt Qiao seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Su Yue's change of topic like this, and explained with some irritation: "A few days ago, he didn't come back all night, he only told me that he was going on a business trip for a day, and I didn't take it seriously, but then I saw the news on the Internet," Aunt Qiao took out her mobile phone, flipped out a piece of news, and showed it to Su Yue: "The person behind this is Dongqing, right?"
Su Yue took a closer look and found that it was a report on Lin Man's performance, she was the protagonist, and the natural photos were the clearest, and the other photo that occupied more space was her and Lu Nanshi, which was an interview with them by reporters when they were in the parking lot.
It is understandable that the reporter will put Lu Nanshi and Lin Man together to write about love, after all, there was news of love between the two of them before this, which is also an obvious cheating behavior, and Lu Nanshi took her to clarify, which is naturally to be described in thick and colorful.
Su Yue was not surprised to have such a news report, but she didn't expect it to be so coincidental, in the picture of her and Lu Nanshi standing together, you can see a man's figure clearly in the back, Shao Dongqing's fame is not as big as Lu Nanshi, and the reporter didn't notice that this man is the heir of the Shaw Brothers who caused a storm in the city because of the family property turmoil a while ago.
The reporter didn't recognize it, but Aunt Qiao was different.
And Su Yue didn't expect that Aunt Qiao would notice such a small figure.
"He's not interested in the show that day, he actually went to see you that day, right?"
Aunt Qiao's words left Su Yue speechless, she looked up at Aunt Qiao with some guilt, and didn't know whether to admit it or what.
In Lin Man's plan, she and Shao Dongqing were dating, but for Su Yue herself, she hadn't thought about whether to date Shao Dongqing or not, and she didn't want to tie up Shao Dongqing and cause him too much pressure.
And this pressure is obvious, it is this resounding "derailment".
Shao Dongqing's current identity is not ordinary, and he can't get together with her, a married woman.
Aunt Qiao's love son is very sincere, and it is reasonable that she will come to her because of this matter.
"Hey...... Auntie actually thinks it's a pity, if you don't get married, I would very much like you to be my daughter-in-law, but you are married now, if it doesn't go well with your husband, then you can get a divorce, Auntie has suffered enough outside of marriage, so I don't want you to repeat Auntie's mistakes. β
Aunt Qiao's words surprised Su Yue, originally she thought that Aunt Qiao was here to blame her, blame her for cheating her, but she didn't expect that she was reluctant to let her.
"Yueyue, if your marriage is really unhappy, then end it quickly, the long pain is better than the short pain, Auntie is willing to accept you. β
This sentence alone was enough, but Su Yue still inevitably felt sad.
"Then you can tell Auntie the truth now, are you and Dongqing dating?"
Despite Aunt Qiao's repeated assurances, Su Yue didn't dare to tell the truth in the end, if she admitted, then Aunt Qiao would definitely ask her why she didn't divorce for a long time, did she have to tell Aunt Qiao the truth?
Aunt Qiao can accept her remarrying, but what if she remarried and gave birth to someone else?
Aunt Qiao could not have known these things, but Su Yue still planned to exclude her, and in fact, to the outside world, Shao Dongqing and Lin Man should be in a relationship.
Of course, whether to make this matter public or not depends on Lin Man's wishes, although she has long said that she is willing to pretend to be a couple with Shao Dongqing when necessary, but whether she can achieve this sacrifice depends on how sincere she was when she said this.
This should have been mutually beneficial, and there was no reason for her to bear it alone, so after separating from Aunt Qiao, she made a phone call to Shao Dongqing and told him about today's events.
Shao Dongqing was also a little surprised, and said to Su Yue that he would explain to his mother again, and apologized to Su Yue, saying that he didn't expect his mother to come to her directly.
Su Yue called Shao Dongqing but not for this, she said: "I'm not talking about this, I just think that if this continues, Auntie will only keep doubting, is it time for you and Lin Man to make it public?"
If the aunt thinks that Shao Dongqing and Lin Man are in a relationship, then there will be no unnecessary worries, Lin Man is also the only daughter of the Lin family, and her reputation and status are there, compared to Su Yue, a little-known girlfriend, Lin Man's girlfriend still has a lot of "face".
But I didn't expect that there was silence for a while, Su Yue thought that the signal was broken, and just wanted to take down the phone to see if there was a problem with the phone, Shao Dongqing's voice came from the earpiece: "You just want me to be with Lin Man like that?"
This tone, with a little complaint, and a little injured in disbelief, Su Yue's throat was blocked, of course she didn't mean that, she just wanted Lin Man to pay what she should pay, why did Shao Dongqing and her be the shield between her and Lu Nan, and what they said at the beginning was obviously to help each other.
And the real reason why Su Yue couldn't speak was that she heard from Shao Dongqing's tone that she was unwilling, didn't Shao Dongqing even want to pretend to be a fake couple with Lin Man? Could it be that Shao Dongqing really treated her......
In an instant, her heart thumped, the palm of the hand holding the phone was hot and sweaty, and she stammered when she spoke again: "But, but what should I do, I don't want to wronged you all the time, besides, Lin Man is willing, it can't always be our sacrifice, right?"
Yes, it's not fair, Su Yue just thinks it's unfair, since you want to play like this, then it's all public, and the benefits that Lin Man can bring to Shao Dongqing should be the reward they should receive.
Shao Dongqing should have understood what Su Yue meant, and after being silent for a while, he said, "I understand" and hung up the phone.
Later, Shao Dongqing didn't know what method he used to get Lin Man to agree to the public relationship, and Su Yue only learned that the two of them had made it public after reading the news on the Internet.
After the news came out, Su Yue immediately received a call from Aunt Qiao, she didn't seem to want to believe it, and asked Su Yue Shao Dongqing why he suddenly dated this person named Lin Man.
In fact, the antecedents that should be fabricated have been arranged in the press release, and they met at the cocktail party, and gradually deepened their feelings, and now the time is just right, so they choose to make it public.
In fact, Aunt Qiao herself participated in the drinking party mentioned in the manuscript, and she even watched from the side.
"But Lin Man came with Lu Nanshi that day, isn't Lu Nanshi your husband? Why is Lin Man Dongqing's girlfriend now? This is just a mess!"
Su Yue had already figured out how to explain to Aunt Qiao, they could lie to the outside world that the rumors of Lu Nanshi's relationship with Lin Man were fake, and everything before could be fooled by friendship, but Aunt Qiao, who had seen it with her own eyes, couldn't hide it.
"She had a relationship with Lu Nanshi, but they broke up after that day, and then ......" Su Yue said herself, and she also felt that she had smeared Lin Man as a water-based Yanghua woman, but if she wanted to deceive Aunt Qiao, she could only explain it like this.
It's just that in this way, Aunt Qiao is probably not very willing to accept Lin Man's "daughter-in-law".
Sure enough, Aunt Qiao immediately said in an excited tone: "I don't agree, I will never agree, I immediately let Dongqing break up with that woman, and the only daughter-in-law I am willing to admit is you." β
After speaking, he hung up the phone excitedly, probably calling Shao Dongqing in a hurry, Su Yue didn't have time to say a word, so he had to give up, and this matter could only be handed over to Shao Dongqing to deal with.
And because of the public relationship between Shao Dongqing and Lin Man this time, Su Yue knew how eye-catching Lin Man was, and the news alone was enough to hang up for several days, and Su Yue also took advantage of this to know Lin Man's past thoroughly.
It turns out that Lin Man is famous not only for her personal charm, in addition to being a well-known dancer at home and abroad, but also the only daughter of the Lin family, because of her unique view of marriage, she has not been married, and all along, the men she has dated are excellent and top-notch.
Although she has long explained that she and Lu Nanshi are just friends, the media people who love to join in the fun still classify Lu Nanshi as Lin Man's unattainable predecessor.
Now that the relationship is open, outsiders think that this is preparing for the marriage of the Shao and Lin families, and many professionals analyze that if the marriage is successful, the Shaw Brothers will go to the next level, which is a very efficient way for Shao Dongqing, who has just taken over the Shaw Brothers.
This was unexpected by Su Yue, and the public relationship with Lin Man helped Shao Dongqing gain a firm foothold in the Shaw Brothers, and this unexpected gain may help Shao Dongqing convince Aunt Qiao.
The benefits outweigh the disadvantages after being made public, and such an unexpected result made Su Yue breathe a sigh of relief, and through Lin Man's ability to help Shao Dongqing, it also alleviated Su Yue's guilt to a certain extent, but before she was happy, Lu Nanshi said that he would take her out to eat.
When did Lu Nanshi take her to eat alone, she instantly became alert and asked what she was going to do.
Lu Nanshi glanced at her: "My fiancΓ©e has become someone else's girlfriend now, I have to explain it to my parents, and you can come over too." β
After arriving, Su Yue understood why there was still a "also" in Lu Nanshi's words, and it turned out that Lin Man was also here.
Because of his current identity, he couldn't meet at Lu Zhai, so he arranged the location in a hidden mountain villa in the suburbs.
After arriving at the designated private room, Su Yue saw Ms. Fang with a sullen face at a glance, and as soon as she saw her, she seemed to have exhausted her patience, and said directly: "Can you explain what is going on now?"
The private room was very large, but there were not many people, except for Ms. Fang Lu Congshan, it was Lin Man, she heard that Ms. Fang was not saying this to herself, so she suppressed her thumping heart and waited for others to speak.
This matter was thought up by Lin Man, so naturally it was Lin Man who had to explain it, and only when she explained it, the Lu family was willing to accept it.
"Just because of this?" After listening to Lin Man's explanation, Ms. Fang really looked incredulous, "Who didn't know that you and Nan Shi were boyfriend and girlfriend before, why is there any need to make this show?"
"But in the eyes of others, Nanshi is cheating, and I don't want him to bear such an infamy. β
Lin Man immediately said aggrievedly.
Ms. Fang seemed to calm down all of a sudden, she didn't seem to expect this.
And at this moment, her gaze suddenly swept towards Su Yue, and her sharp gaze frightened Su Yue and hurriedly avoided her gaze.
She knew the reason for Ms. Fang's gaze, and now she is doing this, not because she can't divorce Lu Nanshi yet, if she can divorce happily, Lin Man is now Lu Nanshi's wife, and the benefits brought to the Shaw family now are Lu's.
It's just that to Su Yue's surprise, she didn't expect Lin Man to really think about Lu Nanshi, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't want Lu Nanshi to bear the infamy of cheating, and she herself was also detained as a junior.
Su Yue smiled in her heart, in the final analysis, everyone is still for themselves, Ms. Fang is unwilling to give up Lin Man, because she doesn't want to give up the benefits of marrying with the Lin family to the Lu family, Lin Man does this because she doesn't want to make a bad name for herself.
ββ¦β¦ So, how long will this relationship last?"
Later, Ms. Fang seemed to be ready to accept it, and she was full of anxiety when she asked this.
Is she afraid that Lin Man and Shao Dongqing will make the fake come true?
"This ......" At this time, Lin Man was stunned, but his eyes drifted towards Su Yue.
How could Ms. Fang not understand what Lin Man meant, because in the final analysis, the root is in Su Yue's place, no wonder Lu Nanshi said that he must bring her over.
When Ms. Fang looked at her, Su Yue already knew what she wanted to ask, and instantly clenched her palms, which ...... This may be the last chance......
Ms. Fang's question came first: "Su Yue, are you pregnant with a child now?"
Su Yue's heart tightened, Ms. Fang's questioning was expected, but she was not tested every day, and the pregnancy was uncertain, but judging from the results of last month, it should not be possible.
So she could only say, "Not yet." β
Ms. Fang's brows furrowed suddenly: "Su Yue, what the hell is going on, how long has it been, why can't you still conceive a child?
Because she had done an examination a long time ago, Ms. Fang had long known that the problem was on her, so she only asked her one by one at this time.
She secretly glanced at Lu Nanshi, and complained in her heart, in fact, she also wanted to know why she couldn't get pregnant, if she couldn't conceive, then she couldn't divorce Lu Nanshi?
She looked at the expectant eyes of Ms. Fang and Lin Man on the other side, and knew that this might not happen.
So she said, "It's not a good idea to never get pregnant, and I think it's time to try something else." β
