Chapter 218: She is Lu Jingqing's fiancée

To verify his/her own inner speculation.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jingqing, are you... planning to get some benefit from the Zheng family?"

"Huh?"

Lu Jingqing said: "In business, the point is to make money; I never do a losing deal, so if I can get some benefit from it, why not?"

Just as Lu Jingqing finished saying that, Secretary Li came over from outside.

Seeing Secretary Li still holding a phone, Secretary Li approached Lu Jingqing's side and said: "Boss Lu, the Zheng family called. They said there's something very important they want to discuss with you."

Lu Jingqing had already anticipated that the other side would definitely call, so he had prepared early on.

After answering the call, Lu Jingqing heard Mr. Zheng from the other side say obsequiously: "Boss Lu, my son has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai, causing you trouble; he actually dared to kidnap Miss Su, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth. To express my apology, I specially booked a table at Hai Cheng Restaurant; please Boss Lu and Miss Su must attend, so I can more sincerely express my apology to both of you."

"'Mr. Zheng is joking; the person who should be angry right now is the one who argued, so this call, Mr. Zheng should have made to the Zhou family.'"

"'No no no, my son just likes Miss Zhou too much, so he did this unreasonable thing; now Zheng Haoyuan is already in prison, I really have no face to get him released; he caused his own foolishness and must bear the responsibility himself; I still hope Boss Lu can help mediate between me and the Zhou family.'"

Mr. Zheng quickly told Lu Jingqing his idea.

Anyone can see that this invitation to Lu Jingqing is not just for apology, but also hopes Lu Jingqing can help, so that the relationship between the two families can ease.

Su Yun Jiao quickly realized that Lu Jingqing planned from the start to act as a middleman to profit from the difference.

On one side, the Zhou family owes me a favor; on the other side, the Zheng family is demanding that I handle things.

This way, Lu Jingqing can collect benefits from both sides.

Su Yun Jiao really thought Lu Jingqing was doing it for her, but now it seems he's more interested in profit.

Su Yun Jiao seemed to lose interest all at once; just after Lu Jingqing hung up the phone, he looked up and saw Su Yun Jiao preparing to return to her room, so he asked: "What are you going to do?"

"'Going upstairs.'"

Su Yun Jiao said: "Brother Jingqing still has work, so I won't disturb."

Seeing Su Yun Jiao go upstairs, Secretary Li quickly realized that Miss Su must have misunderstood, so Secretary Li said to Lu Jingqing: "Boss Lu, I think we should explain to Miss Su; your willingness to help is entirely because of Miss Su, not because the Zheng family can bring you benefits."

Lu Jingqing said lightly: "There's nothing wrong with her thinking that way; besides, I originally gained benefits from the Zheng family."

"'But...'"

But if it weren't for Miss Su's proactive request, Lu Jingqing would absolutely not have gotten involved in this mess.

You should know that hardly anyone can get Lu Jingqing to lend a hand.

Lu Jingqing is only special toward Miss Su alone.

Seeing that it was already morning of the next day, Su Yun Jiao had already gone to class early.

She didn't even say hello to Lu Jingqing.

When Lu Jingqing came downstairs, he saw Su Yun Jiao's breakfast hardly touched.

Liu Ma said: "Boss Lu, Miss Su's appetite seems poor; this morning when she left, her mood seemed off."

"'Understood.'"

Lu Jingqing's expression was light, and he didn't say anything.

But only Secretary Li knows how much Lu Jingqing actually cares about Miss Su in his heart.

Secretary Li said: "Liu Ma, go do your work."

"'Yes.'"

Liu Ma quickly returned to the kitchen.

Secretary Li walked over to Lu Jingqing's side and said: "Boss Lu, the company still has several meetings today; I think we should still tell Miss Su about them..."

"'After school, go pick her up.'"

Lu Jingqing said: "These past few days have been too busy; many things have been neglected."

"'But Miss Su would probably prefer you, Boss Lu, to go.'"

Last night, I don't know if it was Boss Lu's intention, but it was to let Miss Su see his business side.

But as a businessman, what Lu Jingqing did is actually not excessive.

But Miss Su is just a high school student now, and it's easy for her to misunderstand Boss Lu as having ulterior motives.

This morning, Miss Su left after barely eating two bites of food.

It's probably because of this reason.

"'No need; if she can't accept me like this, she'll never accept me in the future either.'"

Lu Jingqing has always been like this for one reason: he doesn't easily trust others, nor does he hope others will trust him.

"'This side.'"

Su Yun Jiao has already gone to school.

Today Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian have both come to class.

Zhou Tingting saw Su Yun Jiao's listless appearance and asked somewhat surprised: "What's wrong? Are you still scared from the kidnapping incident?"

Zhou Tingting is completely fine now; she didn't expect Su Yun Jiao to still be unwell.

"'Are you okay?'"

"'Of course!'"

Zhou Tingting patted her own small chest and said: "I just got a slight scrape; my parents let me rest at home for a day; actually I could have come to school yesterday, but I didn't expect your courage to be so great that you got scared into this state, your complexion looks so terrible."

Zhou Xian beside her also noticed Su Yun Jiao's unstable condition and said: "The placement exam results will come out tonight; we two will go for a makeup exam later; please take charge of the class's morning reading."

"'Okay.'"

Su Yun Jiao didn't say anything else.

Zhou Xian entrusted the task to himself and then carried it out.

Seeing her brother pull her along, Zhou Tingting asked doubtfully: "Brother, didn't the teacher say we could also take it at noon? Why suddenly now we have to go take the exam?"

Zhou Xian didn't speak.

But Zhou Tingting still felt that her brother was weird.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why do I feel you're being especially cold toward Jiao Jiao?"

Zhou Xian's footsteps stopped.

Even Zhou Tingting could feel his attitude toward Su Yun Jiao was cold.

Su Yun Jiao must have already noticed.

But Su Yun Jiao didn't say anything.

"Tingting, be good sisters with Su Yun Jiao from now on, but don't drag me into it."

"Why? Aren't we good friends? Besides, you've always liked Su Yun Jiao."

Zhou Tingting never expected her brother would one day say such a thing.

Clearly, it was her brother who first liked Su Yun Jiao.

Because she is Lu Jingqing's fiancée.
