Chapter 15: Su Yun Jiao Was Kidnapped

Not dating?

Hearing Su Yun Jiao's words, Lu Mu was stunned.

If they weren't dating, how could they have gotten a room?

Lu Mu still thought Su Yun Jiao was shy, so she said, "Jiao Jiao, Auntie knows you're shy, but Auntie isn't that old‑fashioned either—you and Lu Chi… haven't you already gotten a room?"

"Auntie, you really got it wrong—the person who got a room with Lu Chi that day wasn't me."

Su Yun Jiao!

Lu Chi's face darkened.

He didn't expect Su Yun Jiao to just blurt it out like that.

"What? Not you? Then who was it!"

Lu Mu's voice suddenly jumped an octave.

Su Yun Jiao feigned surprise and asked, "Auntie, you didn't know? Lu Chi went to get a room with his girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? Where did you get a girlfriend!"

Lu Mu's face darkened.

"Su Yun Jiao! Don't spout nonsense! Xiao Xue isn't my girlfriend, she…"

Seeing Lu Chi openly admit it,

Su Yun Jiao deliberately covered her mouth and said, "Sorry, I thought you getting a room meant you were dating—could it be you're not even together?"

"You!"

Lu Chi was about to explode with anger at Su Yun Jiao.

Meanwhile, Lu Mu beside them was already furious beyond control: "Lu Chi, explain yourself clearly! Who let you go get a room with another girl? Where did you put your fiancée, Jiao Jiao?"

"What fiancée? We haven't even set the wedding! Mom, stop interfering in my private life, okay?"

Lu Chi, somewhat irritated, slung his backpack over his shoulder and then turned to leave.

Seeing that, Lu Mu's face instantly darkened: "Lu Chi! Stop right there!"

Realizing Su Yun Jiao was still nearby, Lu Mu quickly turned to coax: "Jiao Jiao, Lu Chi didn't mean it that way—please don't misunderstand; from now on you're still my Lu Family's…"

Seeing Lu Mu about to continue, Su Yun Jiao silently thought "oh no", then she quickly pinched her own thigh, forcing out two tears: "Auntie, since Lu Chi already has someone he likes and doesn't want to get engaged to me, let's just forget it."

Su Yun Jiao's eyes were full of reluctant resentment, then she covered her face and ran away crying.

"Jiao Jiao! Jiao Jiao, listen to Auntie…"

Lu Mu wanted to follow Su Yun Jiao, but being in high heels, she couldn't move easily.

In just a moment, Su Yun Jiao had already disappeared from sight.

Want to press her again into being the Lu Family's daughter‑in‑law?

Nice try.

Su Yun Jiao wouldn't give Lu Mu that chance.

But before Su Yun Jiao could run out of the teaching building, a hand from the corner grabbed her and dragged her into an empty classroom.

Lu Chi slammed the classroom door shut with a bang.

Before Su Yun Jiao could react,

Lu Chi then pressed her whole body against the corner of the wall.

"Su Yun Jiao, have you pretended enough?"

Lu Chi's gaze was fierce.

Since just now, Su Yun Jiao has been acting!

He had already told Su Yun Jiao not to reveal what happened that night.

But Su Yun Jiao still told her own mother.

Su Yun Jiao said dismissively, "Lu Chi, what do you mean? I was just telling the truth—how can you say I'm pretending?"

"Stop pretending to be dumb here! Su Yun Jiao, how could I not have known you're two‑faced before?"

"What two‑faced? Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Su Yun Jiao said coldly, "Getting a room as a minor—if word gets out, what will others think of me? Lu Chi, your offhand remark would make me take the blame for someone else; I tell you, I, Su Yun Jiao, can't do that!"

"But if you do this, what about Xiao Xue? Her family is already poor, and at school she fears being looked down upon most—now it's fine, but later people won't even know how to gossip about her!"

"What others say about her is none of my business!"

Su Yun Jiao kept poking Lu Chi in the heart:

"She should bear her own mistakes! Do I even know her well? Why should I take the fall for her? Just because her family is poor, does everything she does wrong have to be blamed on others? Lu Chi, if you truly care for her, you should protect her like a man—using your own methods—instead of morally blackmailing me! Besides, what does this have to do with me? On what grounds do you arbitrarily drag me into this?"

Lu Chi was refuted by Su Yun Jiao to the point he couldn't utter a word.

Just because he'd grown accustomed to Su Yun Jiao solving his troubles for him, he naturally assumed she'd definitely help him this time too.

But this time, Su Yun Jiao actually refused.

Just as Su Yun Jiao was about to leave, Lu Chi grabbed her arm hard, his face dark, and said:

"Su Yun Jiao, stop making excuses here! I see you're just jealous of Xiao Xue—that's why you won't help her! Otherwise, why did I always have you help me before, and you helped, but when it's Xiao Xue's matter you refuse to help—indeed you even add insult to injury!"

"Pah!"

Su Yun Jiao shoved Lu Chi away: "I was just telling the truth—what right do you have to say I'm adding insult to injury? Besides, when I helped you before, it was because my brain was kicked by a donkey! Lu Chi, let me remind you: I helped you because I'm kind‑hearted, not because I owe you! Don't make it sound like not helping you is a crime! If we settle accounts, from childhood to now, only you owe me!"

Having said that, Su Yun Jiao slammed the door and left.

Lu Chi stood there, stunned.

That person just now… was Su Yun Jiao?

When did that silent Su Yun Jiao become able to say so much?

And there's more.

What kind of person is kind-hearted?

How can someone argue and still not forget to brag about themselves?

But... it seems that, from childhood on, he really owes Su Yun Jiao more.

Su Yun Jiao marched toward the school exit, backpack on her back, seething.

At the school gate, Zhou Tingting hadn't left.

A classmate nearby said, "Tingting, are you really going to block Su Yun Jiao? Isn't that a bit bad?"

"What's wrong with that? My brother got hurt because of her! Aren't I allowed to block her?"

Zhou Tingting had a lollipop in her mouth and said, "Keep an eye on her for a bit; as soon as Su Yun Jiao comes out, block her right away!"

Soon, Su Yun Jiao walked out of the school gate.

Just because she was angry, Su Yun Jiao's legs gave out quickly.

"Tingting! Su Yun Jiao has come out!"

"Hurry! Follow her!"

Zhou Tingting and a few sisters hurriedly gave chase.

Over here, Su Yun Jiao was still looking for Lu Jingqing's car.

Lu Jingqing said he'd probably be late today, so he told her to wait at the nearby McDonald's.

Just as Su Yun Jiao was about to run into the alley ahead, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Su Yun Jiao!"

Su Yun Jiao frowned; before she could even turn her head to see Zhou Tingting's face ten meters away, her mouth and nose were covered.

Not good!

It's ether!

"Mmm!"

Not far away, Zhou Tingting saw this and jumped in fright.

The sisters behind her also dared not step forward; all they saw was Su Yun Jiao being tied onto a van.

Zhou Tingting panicked and stepped back: "Quick, quick, run!"

Outside the school gate, Lu Chi had just stepped out when he bumped into the frantically running Zhou Tingting.

Lu Chi was already in a bad mood, and now he asked impatiently, "Not watching where you're going?"
