Chapter 82: Su Yun Jiao Was Taken Back to the Lu Family

I still have to go eat with the class monitor; if there's nothing else, I'll leave first.

Lu Chi, having been snubbed, stood where he was.

He hadn't come to his senses for a long time.

Only after Lu Chi realized he had been rejected did he finally lift his head to look at Su Yun Jiao.

But Su Yun Jiao had already gone out with Zhou Xian to get a boxed lunch.

Ah, I never expected that someone who used to look down on Su Yun Jiao would one day be rejected.

Zhou Tingting was simply laughing at Lu Chi's misfortune.

She too, only during the hospital visit, discovered that Lu Chi wasn't as perfect as she had imagined.

Now she no longer had the initial fondness for Lu Chi.

Lu Chi frowned, ignoring Zhou Tingting.

In the evening, it was already time to get out of school.

Su Yun Jiao was preparing to leave the school gate to wait for Lu Jingqing's private car.

But suddenly a large hand from behind grabbed Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao didn't know who was behind her, and could only let that person pull her along.

After struggling, Su Yun Jiao realized that the person who had been dragging her forward was none other than Lu Chi.

What's wrong with you!

Su Yun Jiao glared at Lu Chi with a dark face.

I don't know what trick Lu Chi is playing.

Cut the nonsense.

Lu Chi directly shoved Su Yun Jiao into the car.

Su Yun Jiao didn't resist much either.

After all, no matter where Lu Chi took her, Lu Jingqing could find her via the positioning system.

Su Yun Jiao sat in the familiar car.

This car was specially assigned by the Lu family to ferry Su Yun Jiao and Lu Chi to and from school.

From childhood, Su Yun Jiao has always taken this car to school with Lu Chi.

But the two of them maintain a sense of boundaries in the car.

Basically, they hardly speak.

This time, Lu Chi took the initiative to say: "When we get to my house, you talk to my mother yourself; I won't interfere."

……

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head and glanced at the time on her watch.

Lu Jingqing often picks her up late, so this time she didn't know how long it would take for him to notice that Lu Chi had taken her away.

Su Yun Jiao pulled out her phone, and Lu Chi frowned, asking: "What are you doing?"

Of course I'm sending a message to Brother Jingqing so he knows where I am.

Su Yun Jiao sent the message right in front of Lu Chi.

Hearing that, Lu Chi suddenly laughed: "Brother Jingqing? You used to hate Lu Jingqing the most, didn't you?"

That's because...

That's because Lu Chi doesn't like Lu Jingqing.

So I followed suit and didn't like Lu Jingqing either.

But looking back now, I realize how foolish I was.

I actually ended up liking a man like Lu Chi.

Su Yun Jiao said: "The past is the past, the present is the present; I only now realize how good Brother Jingqing is—is that not allowed?"

Lu Chi dislikes Lu Jingqing the most; hearing Su Yun Jiao say that, he grew angrier: "Fine, Lu Jingqing is good—then you can just be with Lu Jingqing from now on."

Su Yun Jiao didn't know what was wrong with Lu Chi; he suddenly spouted these words for no reason.

Her relationship with Lu Jingqing is good.

What right does Lu Chi have to be unhappy here?

Put bluntly, we are not lovers now, and our relationship isn't close enough to meddle in each other's private affairs.

Though claimed to be childhood sweethearts, it was merely my one-sided infatuation from a past life.

Here.

Lu Jingqing saw the message Su Yun Jiao sent on his phone.

His eyes were gloomy, and the gold-rimmed glasses refracted a cold glint.

The secretary Li driving up front quickly understood Lu Jingqing's meaning: "Boss Lu, should we change location?"

To the Lu family.

Yes.

Secretary Li quickly turned the car and headed toward the Lu family.

Here.

Su Yun Jiao had already gotten out of the car.

The driver proactively opened the car door for Su Yun Jiao.

After Su Yun Jiao got out of the car, Lu Chi walked ahead, with no intention of waiting for her.

At home.

Lu Mu knew Su Yun Jiao was coming today, so she specially prepared a large table of lavish dishes.

Su Yun Jiao followed Lu Chi into the house.

At first glance she saw the food placed in the living room.

In Su Yun Jiao's mind flashed the foods Zhou Xian and she had mentioned.

Crab, very cold.

Snail, cold in nature.

Including the maocai and lobster on the table, they are basically harmful to her body.

After seeing these, Su Yun Jiao had already decided to stay away from them.

She only picked what she could eat.

Su Yun Jiao walked in, and Lu Mu greeted her happily, saying: "Jiao Jiao, you haven't come back in a long time, have you? Auntie specially made the dishes you used to love; you must try them later."

After saying that, Lu Mu supported Su Yun Jiao and walked her inside.

Su Yun Jiao obediently nodded.

Lu Mu gave Lu Chi a look, indicating he should be perceptive.

Although Lu Chi was unwilling, he still did as Lu Mu said, proactively pulling out a chair for Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao watched Lu Chi pull out the chair for her and quickly realized this was Lu Mu's order.

Before, Lu Chi would never be so gentlemanly.

But knowing is knowing; Su Yun Jiao still chose to sit in the chair pretending not to know.

After all, she couldn't reveal her true nature in front of Lu Mu.

"Jiao Jiao, although Jing Qing's home is also nice, you've lived here for many years; when you have time, come back home to visit—Auntie misses you."

In front of Su Yun Jiao, Lu Mu has always been the image of a kind mother.

Su Yun Jiao nodded and said: "If I have time, I'll come back to visit you, Auntie."

Seeing that Su Yun Jiao wasn't so averse to their home, Lu Mu instantly beamed: "That's good!"

Lu Mu then gestured for Lu Chi to serve Su Yun Jiao some food.

Although Lu Chi was unwilling, he still reached his chopsticks toward the crab not far away.

As he was about to give it to Su Yun Jiao, Lu Chi's mind flashed with the words Zhou Xian had once said.

He said, Su Yun Jiao's health is poor.

It's all due to her long-term diet.

Because of this thought, Lu Chi's motion paused.

Just at that moment of pausing, the crab in Lu Chi's chopsticks fell onto the table.

Seeing her son so unpromising, Lu Mu's face darkened as well.

"Lu Chi, what are you doing? Hurry up and pick it up! Then pick another piece for Jiao Jiao!"

"..."

Seeing Lu Chi unwilling to move his chopsticks, Su Yun Jiao was glad; she then proactively told Lu Mu: "It's fine, Aunt Lu; I'm not actually that hungry—I've been injured lately, so the doctor told me to avoid seafood and other stimulating foods."

Seeing Su Yun Jiao refuse to eat, Lu Mu said: "What do those doctors know? When you're injured you should eat well; you're at the age to grow, how can you not take tonics?"

After saying that, Lu Mu ladled a spoonful of seafood porridge for Su Yun Jiao, placed it before her, and said: "This seafood porridge is what Auntie simmered for a long time; try it."

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head to look at the bowl of seafood porridge; she didn't want to take a sip.

When Su Yun Jiao picked up the spoon, she pretended to drink the porridge, but actually just touched her lips.

"It's so hot!"

After saying that, Su Yun Jiao directly released the hand holding the spoon.

In an instant, the spoon slipped and fell to the floor.

It spilled directly onto Su Yun Jiao's school uniform.

Su Yun Jiao immediately stood up, apologetically saying: "Aunt Lu, I'm really sorry; could I please go upstairs to change clothes first?"

"Okay, okay... hurry up!"

Lu Mu also froze.

I never expected that Su Yun Jiao would get burned just from sipping the porridge.

Is this girl doing it on purpose or not?

Lu Mu fell silent for a moment.

If Su Yun Jiao really knew something, that would be troublesome.

Lu Chi opposite her asked: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Lu Mu quickly came to her senses and told Lu Chi: "Nothing."

"Mom, this porridge looks good; I'll have some too."

Lu Chi went straight to drink the porridge; seeing her son want to drink, Lu Mu immediately stopped him: "What are you drinking? This is specially prepared for Jiao Jiao! You don't like seafood, so you can't have it!"

Upon hearing that, Lu Chi furrowed his brows: "Mom, did you put something in this porridge?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly put something in the porridge? What's wrong with you, kid? Are you doubting your own mother?"

Lu Mu didn't want her son to know what she had done, so she simply took away the bowl of seafood porridge.

Lu Chi watched Lu Mu's reaction and grew increasingly convinced that his mother had put something in these dishes.

Otherwise, why would Lu Mu have always disagreed when he wanted to eat seafood since childhood?

Upstairs.

Su Yun Jiao changed into a set of her former home clothes.

Looking at the home clothes in the mirror now, they are truly ugly to the extreme.

Because in her previous life, her habit of not caring about appearance was cultivated by Lu Mu.

Lu Mu constantly instilled in her that women who like to dress up are not at all proper women.

Lu Mu said she was still young and shouldn't wear makeup or pretty clothes; she should be naturally beautiful.

So from childhood on, Su Yun Jiao never got to wear pretty skirts.

She wore only ugly, baggy pants and tacky tops.

Seeing these, Su Yun Jiao laughed.

I never expected that in my past life I was really that stupid.

She had worn these clothes for so long.

Su Yun Jiao came downstairs.

Lu Chi saw Su Yun Jiao wearing the same home clothes as before and, for a moment, thought their relationship had gone back to how it was.

Lu Chi asked, "Why so slow?"

"Changing clothes took a bit longer."

Su Yun Jiao said nothing else and simply sat back down in her seat.

And Lu Chi had filled her rice bowl with vegetables.

No seafood.

Su Yun Jiao felt doubtful.

Lu Chi... what does this mean?

Soon, Lu Mu came back from the kitchen.

Lu Chi was eating with his head down, but somehow he had placed a crab on his own plate.

Lu Mu's face darkened: "Lu Chi, no manners! This is for Jiajia to eat!"

Su Yun Jiao also frowned: "Lu Chi, you don't like crab, do you?"
