Chapter 193: Zhou Tingting's Engagement 1

~6 min read 1,124 words

If Su Yun Jiao remembers correctly, Zhou Tingting will be engaged soon; before Zhou Tingting graduates from high school, the Zhou family has already chosen a marriage for her.

Because in her previous life Zhou Tingting especially liked Lu Chi, Su Yun Jiao paid special attention.

She remembered that the man Zhou Tingting married seemed like a decent handsome young man, but behind the scenes he was an abusive husband; later Zhou Tingting was under his control for almost a year before the Zhou family noticed something was wrong.

The matter went straight to court, not only breaking the relationship between the two families, but Zhou Tingting also suffered a period of psychological trauma.

Upon thinking of this, Su Yun Jiao immediately grabbed Zhou Tingting's wrist; Zhou Tingting didn't understand why Su Yun Jiao suddenly did this, she lowered her head to glance at Su Yun Jiao's hand gripping her arm, her face showing confusion, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tingting, you… your parents never told you they were going to find you an fiancé, did they?"

"This person is really strange; you already asked me that just now, I said there isn't one. My only thought right now is to get into a good university as soon as possible, and why are my parents rushing to marry me off?"

Zhou Tingting had never heard her mother say she would marry her off.

But Su Yun Jiao knew that for young ladies like them, the future fiancé couldn't be chosen just by saying so.

It's uncertain, but Zhou Tingting's engagement might happen in these few days.

Su Yun Jiao remembered that it was on the eve of the college entrance exam that the Zhou family settled on this marriage, so Zhou Tingting could take the exam peacefully.

"You'd better go ask your mother… what if she really picked someone behind your back? Do you really want to get engaged right after graduation?"

"Of course not!"

Zhou Tingting said, "I don't have any other man in my heart now, so I certainly don't want to get engaged."

Hearing Zhou Tingting say she didn't want to get engaged, Su Yun Jiao breathed a sigh of relief; perhaps the Zhou family would at least listen to Zhou Tingting's opinion.

No, back then Zhou Tingting liked Lu Chi so much that the Zhou family didn't want her to have any involvement with him.

In the end, Zhou Tingting still got engaged to that abusive husband.

Su Yun Jiao thought it over carefully and felt this matter needed long-term planning.

She recalled that the abusive husband… seemed to be called, what was his name? Zheng Haoyuan?

After recalling the abusive husband's name, Su Yun Jiao deliberately said to Zhou Tingting, "By the way, I just heard something really terrifying; do you want to hear it?"

"What is it?"

"I heard there's a man named Zheng Haoyuan, whose family is extremely wealthy, also from our Hai Cheng; he looks handsome and graceful, but behind the scenes he's a beast—he not only likes to hit people, his mood is especially unstable, often out drinking, whoring, and gambling; he's a man especially good at pretending."

"Zheng Haoyuan? Do I know him?"

Zhou Tingting frowned in confusion.

Why is Su Yun Jiao suddenly saying all this to her for no reason?

She doesn't even know who Zheng Haoyuan is.

Su Yun Jiao, afraid Zhou Tingting wouldn't understand, said, "Anyway, hearing this scared me; luckily my fiancé is Lu Jingqing, not this Zheng Haoyuan, and I don't know which girl will be unlucky enough to get engaged to Zheng Haoyuan in the future."

"Yeah, I hate men with unstable tempers; hitting people is basically subhuman, let alone going out to drink, whore, and gamble."

Seeing Zhou Tingting dislike Zheng Haoyuan and having already labeled him, Su Yun Jiao felt relieved.

This way, if the Zhou family brings up marrying Zhou Tingting to Zheng Haoyuan, Zhou Tingting will surely find an excuse to get out of it.

Hearing Zhou Tingting's words, the Zhou family will surely investigate and likely find some clues, so this marriage probably won't be set.

"All right, I came over just to bring you clothes; I want to see how you look in this outfit. Don't take it off under any circumstances; better yet, have your family do your makeup, and when Lu Jingqing comes back, give him a big surprise—then he'll definitely not look at other women."

Zhou Tingting had already been trying on clothes with Su Yun Jiao here for several hours; seeing the sky darken outside, she didn't want to stay longer in Jingyuan.

Because Lu Jingqing would be back soon, Zhou Tingting didn't want him to think she was deliberately causing trouble for him here.

After all, Lu Jingqing isn't too welcoming of the Zhou family.

"Tingting, don't misunderstand Brother Jingqing; he actually means no harm to you all, it's just…"

"Enough, enough, you've said this many times; I don't care about Lu Jingqing—I'm friends with you, not with Lu Jingqing. Whether he bears us ill will or not has nothing to do with us."

Zhou Tingting smiled at Su Yun Jiao and said, "Let's go; see you at school tomorrow."

"See you at school."

After Su Yun Jiao had Liu Ma send Zhou Tingting away, she still felt uneasy.

She feared the Zheng and Zhou families would once again discuss marriage.

Evening.

When Lu Jingqing returned, he found Liu Ma had already cooked dinner, but Su Yun Jiao still hadn't come downstairs.

Lu Jingqing asked, "Why aren't you coming down? Is Jiao Jiao feeling unwell?"

"It's not that Miss Su isn't feeling well; this afternoon Miss Zhou came over, the two played in the room for a long time, and Miss Zhou even brought Miss Su a particularly nice outfit—Miss Su might just be embarrassed to come down."

Liu Ma couldn't help but chuckle as she said that.

Lu Jingqing's face showed puzzlement; he didn't know what outfit Liu Ma was talking about.

Su Yun Jiao came down the stairs a bit shyly, wearing a pink plaid skirt; this JK uniform on her was practically perfect—pure, sexy, and playful all at once.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao dressed like that, Lu Jingqing couldn't help but stare.

Actually the outfit is quite normal; it's just that Su Yun Jiao's figure is so good that wearing it invites imagination.

Lu Jingqing almost instinctively looked away: "Why are you dressed like that at home? Are you going out?"

"No, I'm not going out."

Su Yun Jiao said, "Zhou Tingting said this outfit looks good on me and asked me to wear it for you to see; Brother Jingqing, do you think it's ugly?"
