Chapter 232: Countdown to the Banquet
The night is as cool as water, and the dark night is like a huge net, encompassing the stars. The faint starlight accumulated into a lot, shining beautifully with all its might.
Lemu stood alone in front of the window, looking at the void with confused eyes, and her heart was empty. In a few moments, she had an extra shawl on her shoulders, and she leaned lightly against the visitor's body, her beautiful eyes full of sorrow.
"Are you thinking about Jiarong and Ji Yun again?"
Le Mu nodded lightly and said very sadly, "Ji Yun has been gone for so long, and there is still no news at all. ”
"Who said there was no news?" Mr. Lu said softly, "Didn't Shaokun tell us before that Ji Yun is by Jiarong's side now?"
Le Mu sighed and said in silence, "You don't know his character, even if Ji Yun is by Jiarong's side now, it is not an easy thing to take Jiarong away." I've been restless for the past few days, and my heart is up and down, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen. ”
"You just like to think too much. In fact, his mood is not much better, but now that Le Mu is getting thinner and thinner because of excessive worry, he must not show half of his anxiety anymore. "I believe in Ji Yun and Jiarong, I believe they will be able to convince him. ”
Speaking of that man, Mr. Lu's mood was a little awkward. Although, he knew that when they met and fell in love, he didn't know Lemu, and he also knew that if he held on to the past, he would only appear to be stingy.
What's more, he is not a male classmate without a story, and if you look closely, they are all half a catty. However, when he thought that Le Mu had once been in love with that person, he felt very jealous.
That's right, it's jealousy. He thought more than once that if God had let him meet Le Mu first, then they would definitely not have experienced an unforgettable failed love.
It's just that there aren't so many ifs in real life. No matter what, it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
"I believe in them too," Le Mu knew that she could not help anything now except for her daily thoughts. "I just blame myself for being too incomprehensible to help them more. ”
Mr. Lu chuckled and comforted her, "You can't say that, as long as you are healthy now, it will be the greatest help to them." Do you think, Jiarong and Ji Yun must be working hard for the reunion of our big family now, in case they hear the news of your illness, do you think they can fight with peace of mind?"
"I'll try not to hold them back. ”
"What hind legs don't hind legs, why do you always say so much. Mr. Lu frowned dissatisfiedly and said, "We are already a family now, and when you say that, you don't recognize our relationship now." ”
Le Mu knew that he was thinking crookedly again, and explained with a light smile, "You, you always like to think too much, you know that what I said didn't mean that." ”
"But every time I say that," Mr. Lu said with a serious face, "we are now a family, you must know that as long as you are well, I can be good." ”
Le's mother blushed, she lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "We are all people who step into the grave on one leg now. ”
"So what, who made me meet you so late. If I had met you sooner, I would have spoiled you as a princess. ”
"Go," Le Mu's face turned even redder, "it's all a bad old man, and he's so improper." ”
Mr. Lu protested dissatisfiedly: "How can this be considered informal, I am just expressing my heart to the woman I love." ”
Le Mu didn't speak, just glared at him coquettishly, and then ran back to the room.
Mr. Lu looked at her slightly flustered back, and couldn't help but sigh, he silently said in his heart, when will Ji Yun, this stinky boy, bring his daughter-in-law back. Only when his daughter-in-law comes back safely can he hug his daughter-in-law.
Yes, Mr. Lu and Le Mu have not achieved a home run now, although Mr. Lu is enduring the torment of seeing and touching but not being able to eat in his mouth every day, but he is also struggling to restrain himself.
He is not an animal that thinks in the lower half of his body, and he really likes Lemu, and he doesn't just want to have a deep exchange of feelings with her in bed. He is not a young boy who has never eaten pork, on the contrary, although his love history is not rich, it is by no means blank.
"Ji Yun, come back quickly, if you don't come back, you really can't hold it back. ”
Mr. Lu shook his head, took a deep look at the closed door of Le's mother again, and then returned to the room with a sigh.
The next day, before dawn, Lemu received a call from an unexpected guest.
Hanging up the phone, she knocked on Mr. Lu's door with a red face, but after knocking for a long time, Mr. Lu did not respond, so she had to walk in.
At that time, Mr. Lu was sleeping soundly, and yesterday he struggled with his innermost thirst, and he lost sleep for most of the night, and then slowly fell asleep. In the dream, he saw Lu Jiyun coming back with Le Jiarong, and the family was happily getting together.
The dream was so beautiful that he was so immersed in it that he didn't want to wake up at all. Therefore, he didn't hear a knock at the door until Mother Le came in and called for someone.
Mr. Lu rubbed his sleepy eyes, his head was a little heavy, and his mouth was a little stupid, "What's wrong?"
"There's a guest coming in a moment, so get up quickly. ”
"Guest?" Mr. Lu yawned and sat up, "Who." ”
Lemu deliberately sold a pass, "When she comes, you will know." After speaking, she didn't give Mr. Lu a chance to ask questions, and walked straight out.
Mr. Lu yawned several times in a row, and his head was a little clearer, and he realized that Le Mu had entered his room just now, and he didn't grasp this rare moment, and gave up the opportunity he couldn't ask for.
Ahh
Mr. Lu endured his grief and indignation, climbed out of the quilt with difficulty, then went to the bathroom for a quick wash, and then went to the kitchen with a refreshing body.
Mother Le had already prepared breakfast, and when she saw him walk in, she said with a smile, "Wash up, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”
Mr. Lu didn't say hello, or rather, he was already used to such meticulous care from Lemu. He sat down straight and ate a hearty breakfast, and when his belly was bulging, he asked with a smile, "You just said that a guest is coming?"
Le Mu nodded slightly.
Mr. Lu frowned, "Who, Ji Yun explained again and again before leaving, and he couldn't let people in casually." ”
"I know, but this person, I don't know how to decide. Le Mu smiled bitterly: "Moreover, it wasn't me who told her our address, she knew that we lived here." ”
Mr. Lu said sensitively, "Do I know her too?"
"Yes, you know, and you should know each other well. ”
Mr. Lu's face changed, "You're talking about her." ”
Le Mu nodded.
Mr. Lu was very upset and said, "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know. ”
"It's really ghostly," Mr. Lu couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred as long as he remembered all the evil things Ji Linling had done. "Wherever we went, she could follow. ”
Le Mu smiled lightly and comforted him, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we don't need to be too nervous." ”
"I'm not nervous, I just feel annoyed. Mr. Lu said angrily, "To be honest, I also know that it is really not a gentleman's work to say that my ex-wife is bad after a divorce." But she really disgusted me to the core. ”
"Don't be angry, I knew you must have reacted this way when you said it. However, since the guests have opened their mouths, we as hosts naturally cannot refuse. And," Le Mu paused, "I also want to ask about Ji Yun's situation." ”
Mr. Lu said, "Even if it is her, she may not know the situation of Ji Yun and Jiarong now. ”
"Why?"
"Do you think she's a red man in front of that man's eyes? No, she's just a creep. What's more, now that the Lu family has gone bankrupt, her value is even more insignificant. ”
Le Mu was shocked, "What did you just say that the Lu family is bankrupt?"
Only then did Mr. Lu know that he had missed his mouth, but he had already said it, and he didn't want to deliberately hide it from Lemu, so he simply broke the jar and said, "Yes, it's bankrupt." ”
"What's going on?" asked Le Mu urgently, "When it happened, how come I don't know." ”
"Ji Yun doesn't want you to know, I'm afraid you'll worry. ”
"This stupid boy, how can you hide such a big thing from me. ”
Mr. Lu smiled lightly, "He's also afraid that you'll be worried." Leave the bowl untouched, I'll wash it. He hurriedly stood up, took the dishes that needed to be washed from the hands of the music mother, and then washed them very skillfully.
It turned out that he didn't have this skill. When he was young, he always adhered to the old view that a gentleman was far away from cooking. But after Mother Hele arrived here, others reached middle age and realized the happiness of home.
That feeling of happiness is really good, Mr. Lu thought, it turns out that what he yearns for in his heart is this kind of idyllic life where the sun rises and returns at dusk.
Neatly put away the dishes, Mr. Lu took Le's mother to the garden, and the two of them each trimmed their favorite potted plants, and the days were quiet and warm.
It's just that Le Mu's expression was not relaxed, she was silent for a while, but she still put down the scissors in her hand and asked softly: "When is this happening, is this matter related to Ji Yun?"
Mr. Lu replied very honestly, "Well, this was indeed done by Ji Yun, just before he left. ”
"Because of what?"
"The Lu clan is no longer the original Lu clan, rather than letting it be half-dead, it is better to destroy it directly. ”
Le Mu looked at Mr. Lu with a calm face in surprise, "Do you think so too?"
"Well, Ji Yun and I discussed it before, and I agreed with his idea. ”
Le Mu couldn't help but sigh: "This is really crazy. ”
"It's not crazy, it's just that we deeply understand the truth that prosperity must decline, the peak of the Lu family has long passed, and it has been going downhill for more than ten years, and now in the hands of Ji Linling, it is even more downcast. ”
