Chapter 20 Yueyue, the past thing is that my mother is wrong, can you forgive me
I didn't stay up late after New Year's Eve at night, I didn't like to watch TV very much, and I wasn't used to drinking for the first time, so I fell asleep in a dizzy state after washing.
I was woken up the next morning by the sound of crackling firecrackers, and by the time I woke up, it was almost ten o'clock.
When I went downstairs in my slippers, Li Tinglan came over with a smile and asked me to change my clothes and then took us to the hot springs.
I didn't dare to delay this planned trip because of one person, so I could only stuff a thick egg toast into my bag and eat it on the way.
The moment I walked out in my newly bought swimsuit, I met Lu Yunzheng.
He was dressed in a black two-piece suit, and the upper body was made of tight black elastic fabric, which outlined the strong muscles in his chest, and even the thin abdominal muscles on his lean waist could be seen as he moved.
I only glanced at it in a hurry and didn't dare to look any further, the legs were straight and slender, which was really eye-catching.
Compared with my nervousness and shyness, Lu Yunzheng glanced at my dress generously, and then nodded at me as a greeting.
I smiled in response to him, turned around and went to the Ladies Bath.
Li Tinglan walked down the steps in an expensive bathrobe, and the temperament of a noble lady was vividly reflected in her at this moment. She kindly took my hand and asked if I had slept well last night.
I responded politely and followed her into the hot tub.
It's a semi-open-air design, and it's supposed to be a private room, so it's just the two of us.
Li Tinglan relaxed her head on the edge of the pool, looked at me with a smile and said tentatively, "Did you have fun at yesterday's party?"
"I'm very happy, thank you, Aunt Li." I could only answer with no discomfort, trying to squeeze all the bad memories of yesterday out of my mind.
"Well, that's good." Li Tinglan nodded with satisfaction, asked a few more questions about study, and then closed her eyes and recuperated.
The warm water in the hot spring pool wrapped around my body, and I felt a sense of relaxation and comfort, and I squinted and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, I was the only one left in the spa hall, and I was woken up by a waiter coming in.
"Hello, ma'am, wake up, there's a boy surnamed Lu outside calling me to call you."
The waiter gently patted me on the shoulder to wake me up, and I got up with a thrill. Wait, what did she say? A boy with the surname Lu? Isn't that Lu Yunzheng?
I glanced around at the emptiness, and it seemed that Li Tinglan had already gone out.
The server thoughtfully handed me a new, soft bathrobe, which I put on and quickly walked out the door.
Lu Yunzheng obviously waited at the door for a while, there was a trace of impatience between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and when he saw me come out, he whispered to me: "Change clothes, let's go out to eat."
"What about them?" When I say they are referring to Lao Jiang and Li Tinglan.
"Live a world of two."
"Uh-oh." I turned to the locker room and took off my yukata, thinking back to the question I had just asked, thinking that it was a bit redundant, and that the two of them must have been to the two-person world when they weren't there.
—————————————————
There is a small town not far from the villa, and there are still a lot of people in this town, so I followed Lu Yunzheng to the lively street market.
The bluestone paved roads are lined with bright red lanterns, and there are still scraps of paper left by burning firecrackers on the floor, adding a bit of fireworks to the town.
"Won't they go home for the New Year?"
I asked curiously, looking at the crowded streets and the endless stream of vendors lining the streets.
"This is a commercial scenic spot, and the Chinese New Year is the time to make money." Lu Yunzheng casually reached out and picked up a hand-embroidered purse from a roadside vendor, pinched it in his hand and played with it.
I leaned over and looked at the purse, a dark blue cloth embroidered with a few lifelike birds and a crescent moon.
For some reason, when I saw the embroidered moon, I was a little narcissistic about myself. My name is Jiang Lanyue, and I also have a moon in my name.
I'm a little ashamed of this unrealistic idea, it's just my own girlhood fantasy. So I shook my head lightly and tried to drive these daydreams out of my head, but when I turned around, I found that Lu Yunzheng was looking at me.
"What's wrong?" His good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, not quite understanding my strange behavior.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. I denied it with a weak heart, but my eyes drifted unconsciously to the moon purse he was holding between his long fingers.
"Do you like it?" Lu Yunzheng stretched out his other slender finger and gently flicked the tassel under the purse, and asked out loud.
"It's okay...... Fortunately...... "I was a little unsure of Lu Yunzheng's thoughts, so I could only give a compromise answer."
The tassels under the purse gently wrapped around Lu Yunzheng's beautiful fingers, they flew and jumped on his fingertips, and the fluffy touch seemed to scratch my heart, making me itch too.
"I've got you." Lu Yunzheng forced this delicate purse into my hand, turned around and took out a red banknote and handed it to the vendor.
There was still Lu Yunzheng's body temperature on this purse, and I couldn't help but tighten my fingers a little and said, "Why did you give me this?"
Lu Yunzheng's finger to collect the money paused, and then replied casually: "New Year's gift, by the way, thank you for taking care of me that day."
I worked hard to take care of him for so long, and I still owe Gu Zhou a favor, so he gave me a purse of dozens of yuan? This Young Master Lu is a little picky, I thought he would happily pull out a wad of RMB to repay me like last time.
I almost hung my dissatisfaction on my face, and my mouth was so pouting that I could hang a soy sauce bottle.
I opened my mouth and just wanted to complain about why he was so slammed, Lu Yunzheng leaned over and said fiercely: "Don't say I'm stingy, I'll take you out to visit this place today and invite you to dinner at noon."
This is the first time I've seen Lu Yunzheng's somewhat childish side, in the past, he was too high to take care of anyone, but today he actually opened his mouth to argue with me.
It turned out that he specially called me out to eat to repay me for taking care of him that day, but for some reason I felt a faint disappointment in my heart after listening to this explanation.
But it's good to be able to eat a big meal for free, I quickly put those negative emotions behind me and followed Lu Yunzheng to the restaurant.
The interior of this restaurant is full of antique atmosphere, with wooden dining tables and even carved fences, which must be very expensive.
It's pretty much the same, I sighed in my heart as I looked at the layout of this restaurant.
Suddenly, as I was passing around a corner, I bumped into a strange woman on the other side.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The two of us spoke almost at the same time, and the woman grabbed me to prevent me from falling, and then I felt her fingers clenching my fingers hard.
"Yueyue? Is that you? The voice sounded strange and familiar, as if it had traveled through time before reaching my ears.
Yes, the woman in front of me is the one who ruthlessly left me and Lao Jiang at the beginning, and she is also my biological mother.
She is still beautiful and charming, and the years have not left many traces on her face, but have added a bit of charm to her.
It can be seen that she has been doing well in the past few years, and the brooch pinned to the expensive woolen sweater on her body is Lao Jiang's salary for almost a year.
"Yueyue, is it really you?"
The woman was surprised and delighted when she saw me, and quickly stretched out her hand to touch my cheek, but I leaned back and avoided it because I was not used to the touch of strangers.
My movements hurt her a little, and her gentle smile froze on her face, clearly not knowing what to do.
"You are?"
Lu Yunzheng, who went to order food first, also heard the movement and turned back, he stood beside me for some reason and looked at the woman in front of me with me.
"This is Young Master Lu, right? Sure enough, it's the same talent as the legend! "Su Zihan is really a courtesan as always, and he can talk to people like Lu Yunzheng who have never known each other.
It's not that I want to insult my mother, Su Zihan is naturally good at wandering among all kinds of people, and courtesan is just an adjective to me, without any derogatory connotation.
"Just call me Lu Yunzheng, so you are?"
Lu Yunzheng looked at the tears in the eyes of the woman in front of him and the forced smile, pulled me back a few steps, and slightly sideways to half-cover my body.
"I'm not a bad person, I'm Jiang Lanyue's biological mother." Su Zihan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the tears that were about to flow out, and explained in a choked voice.
Her delicate action seems extremely ironic to me, look, this is Su Zihan, a woman who is afraid that tears will flow out and make her delicate makeup, even if the person in front of her is her biological daughter, she will not let tears hang on her face.
"Yueyue, the past thing is that my mother is wrong, can you forgive me"
Su Zihan asked anxiously, as if he couldn't wait to repair this mother-daughter relationship that had been vacant for more than ten years.
What do I have about Su Zihan's memory?
Actually, I can't remember most of it, because she rarely spends time with me, and she spends most of her time outside drinking.
I only remember that she didn't change my diaper because of the dirty excrement, that she locked me in the house alone because I cried too loudly, and that she didn't go to the parent-teacher conference once......
In her eyes, children are just tools to marry into a wealthy family, and Lao Jiang has no money, so I am naturally a burden to her.
In the past, I couldn't understand why Su Zihan could leave the two of us without hesitation, but now looking at her bejeweled dress, I understand.
I looked at Su Zihan's flattering smile, my eyes were full of hatred, I didn't want to say a word to her, so I pulled Lu Yunzheng up and turned around and left.
Su Zihan saw that I didn't pay attention to her, and eagerly followed and wanted to stop me, but unfortunately a middle-aged man came out of the private room on the side and stopped her.
"Zihan, the checkout is on the first floor, where are you going?"
Hearing the man's shout, Su Zihan stopped chasing my high heels, and then she walked in the opposite direction of mine step by step.
When I walked around the corner, I smiled sarcastically at the corner of my mouth, Su Zihan was afraid that the man would find out about my existence, so he didn't dare to chase after me.
Just as I was about to leave this corridor, I still couldn't help but glance slightly sideways at the middle-aged man, who was mediocre in appearance and mediocre in stature, but he could see that he was very rich.
It's good to have money, so that a living person can casually abandon his own flesh and blood.
