Chapter 100: Lu Jingqing is her backer

Su Yun Jiao hadn't finished speaking when she noticed Lu Jingqing's stomach growling.

Lu Jingqing also stood up in that second and said, "Let me take you to buy vegetables."

……

Su Yun Jiao followed behind Lu Jingqing, and soon he drove her to the nearest supermarket.

After stopping at the supermarket entrance, Lu Jingqing searched a wallet for a long time before finally finding the supermarket's shopping card among many black gold cards.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to glance at the shopping card in her hand and asked, "What is this?"

"It's this supermarket's shopping card."

"But this supermarket isn't called that."

……

Lu Jingqing looked again and then pulled out five.

"It's probably one of these."

……

Su Yun Jiao twitched the corner of her mouth.

After Liu Ma left, Lu Jingqing's life really couldn't manage on its own.

Su Yun Jiao followed behind Lu Jingqing, and the two walked one after the other into the supermarket.

Because this supermarket is membership-based, no one knows how much money is in Lu Jingqing's card, but swiping it lets you leave.

Su Yun Jiao simply bought plenty of ingredients, without any hesitation.

"Brother Jingqing, what do you want to eat?"

"Stir-fried tomato and egg."

?

Su Yun Jiao still thought she had misheard.

But Lu Jingqing asked, "Can't you make it?"

"Sure, sure, stir-fried tomato and egg isn't that hard, is it?"

Su Yun Jiao directly grabbed the tomatoes and eggs and said, "Is this enough?"

"Enough."

Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing were walking in the supermarket when they suddenly felt that people around them were occasionally glancing at the two of them; a sales clerk approached and said, "Would you like to take a look at our newly arrived maternal and infant products? Especially this formula—it's really healthy for babies."

"Maternal and infant products?"

Su Yun Jiao thought she had misheard.

How could she be related to maternal and infant products?

"Sorry, I'm not a child, and I don't have any kids..."

"It's fine, you two… will eventually need them."

The clerk's sentence instantly made Su Yun Jiao's face flush.

This clerk actually thought she and Lu Jingqing were a couple?

Su Yun Jiao hurriedly said, "No, no, no, you got it wrong—we're siblings, not husband and wife!"

The clerk hadn't expected the two not to be married, and his face instantly showed surprise: "You two aren't married? I thought you were a couple—you really look well matched. I'm really sorry."

After learning they were siblings, the clerk indeed found it hard to push maternal and infant products, so he apologized while walking away.

But Su Yun Jiao's face remained somewhat flushed from the clerk's words.

She lifted her head to glance at Lu Jingqing beside her; seeing he had no intention to explain, Su Yun Jiao asked, "Brother Jingqing, that clerk just now… was really funny, haha..."

Su Yun Jiao deliberately tried to ease the atmosphere, but Lu Jingqing didn't agree, saying, "She's right—you and I really are a good match. After all, once New Year's passes, it's your coming-of-age ceremony."

By then, everyone in Hai Cheng will know about their engagement.

At that time they will no longer be siblings, but fiancés.

Thinking about how they'll get engaged in just a few days, Su Yun Jiao felt a bit dazed for a moment.

She remembered that when she and Lu Jingqing discussed this matter earlier, it was still a month ago.

Has a month already passed that quickly?

After finishing buying everything, Su Yun Jiao said, "All done, let's go."

"Not yet."

"Huh?"

Su Yun Jiao looked at Lu Jingqing doubtfully and asked, "Is there anything else we haven't bought?"

Only then did Lu Jingqing take Su Yun Jiao to the clothing section, which sold swimwear and underwear.

Seeing these, Su Yun Jiao was somewhat surprised: "This..."

"Let's buy them; those old clothes should be thrown away."

Previously, Lu Jingqing hadn't noticed, but all of Su Yun Jiao's clothes were too small to wear.

Now that he has time, he's thinking of buying all of Su Yun Jiao's clothes.

A girl her age should also change her underwear.

Moreover, in half a year Su Yun Jiao will finish the College Entrance Exam, after which her dressing style ought to be properly improved.

It can't be like how Lu Mu used to raise Su Yun Jiao before.

Doing so would only make Su Yun Jiao unable to hold her head up in college later.

Su Yun Jiao wasn't being polite either; she just hadn't expected Lu Jingqing to actually keep her matters in mind.

She went to the clothing section and bought all the clothes she liked, trying to choose fashionable styles, but because her taste was the same as in her previous life, when she saw these clothes Lu Jingqing rubbed his forehead and said, "Let me pick for you."

"You pick for me? That's not appropriate."

Su Yun Jiao glanced at the branded clothing area; basically only women were strolling inside.

Lu Jingqing didn't say much more, but directly took Su Yun Jiao inside, picking out some clothes suitable for her, gentle and intellectual, with no fault in color or style.

Su Yun Jiao hadn't expected that Lu Jingqing, though a man, would have such good taste.

Lu Jingqing said, "You're now a high school student; you shouldn't dress too revealing, but you also don't need to be overly conservative, otherwise people will think you're unsophisticated. These clothes suit your age and temperament better. Also, fix your bad habit: when buying clothes, don't look at the tags, look at the quality."

Lu Jingqing had noticed earlier that Su Yun Jiao didn't dare spend money; besides her having no money, it was probably due to her own personality and experiences, which made her afraid to buy expensive things.

He intends to correct all these flaws for Su Yun Jiao, one by one.

"You are a miss of wealth, living in Jingyuan; you ought to have the best things in the world, so don't be stingy with yourself. If you like something, you only need to consider how to obtain it—for that you can use any means, because someone is here to back you up. But you also need to judge whether that person is worth your sacrifice. Every item has its own value; like these, if you like them, just take them."

Lu Jingqing had selected the best-looking, highest-quality clothes from the boutiques for Su Yun Jiao.

"These are the ones; you can choose the rest yourself. Don't let me see any discount items, because discount clothing is not worthy of being worn by the Eldest Miss of the Su Family."

Su Yun Jiao seemed to gain confidence from Lu Jingqing's words.

She now has nothing, just as in her previous life.

That's why she lives cautiously, daring not to show off.

But… she is inherently a miss of the Su Family; she is about to come of age, and she has Lu Jingqing backing her up.

She no longer needs to live so cautiously.

"I understand, thank you, Brother Jingqing."
