Chapter 168 I will always be with him
After the interview aired, many fans of the Jiang Yuyi and Song Ming pairing went crazy shipping them.
When Ning Yi and the others learned that Ji Yan couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year this year, they were a little disappointed but still understood.
During the Spring Festival, my maternal grandparents also rushed back from abroad, making this year's Spring Festival another lively and festive one.
……
Lu Yuzhu sat at her desk, holding her phone, her feelings somewhat complicated. The phone showed her chat with Chen Biqing, who asked Lu Yuzhu to meet her the next day.
After all, Chen Biqing is her biological mother. Although she doesn't like talking to her and can't accept her parenting style, she still has so many years of nurturing grace, so she still has to go see her.
Some time ago, Lu Yuzhu also heard that Chen Biqing had found an uncle, a university professor, but the two were not yet at the point of marriage. The uncle had a son who didn't seem to like her very much.
A knock sounded at the door, pulling Lu Yuzhu back to reality. She got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
"Yuzhu, this is a new snowflake crisp I recently learned to make. Would you like to try it?" Qin Fenglan asked with a smile, holding a plate of snowflake crisps.
Qin Fenglan was actually quite nice to Lu Yuzhu. She always considered Lu Yuzhu's feelings, cooked delicious food for her, and helped ease the tension between Lu Yuzhu and her father. She also spoke gently and softly. Lu Yuzhu had feelings for her.
Lu Yuzhu took a piece of snowflake crisp, tasted it, and smiled with satisfaction: "Delicious! Aunt Qin is so skillful!"
Qin Fenglan said happily, "Really? Then eat more, take it all."
After saying that, she moved the plate forward a little.
Lu Yuzhu took the plate, looked at the warm-looking woman in front of her, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Aunt Qin."
Qin Fenglan waved her hand and smiled, "It's just a plate of pastries, no need to thank me."
Lu Yuzhu shook her head, her eyes sincere: "Thank you for taking such good care of my dad all this time, and thank you for always being considerate of my feelings and always trying to ease the tension between my dad and me."
Hearing this, Qin Fenglan was visibly taken aback, then became somewhat moved: "Yuzhu, you and Lao Lu are, after all, father and daughter. I know to some extent that Lao Lu was busy with work and rarely spent time with you; it was mostly your mother who took care of you."
"It's normal that your relationship has grown distant because he hasn't spent as much time with you. But you two are family, and it hurts me to see you like this. Child, your father just doesn't know how to express his love and care for you."
“Your father and I used to work together. He was a very dedicated worker and solved many cases. He was a good policeman, but not a good father.”
"He and I were old colleagues who developed feelings for each other over time. Now that I've married him, and you're his daughter, I will treat you as my own and take good care of you."
Lu Yuzhu felt a lump in her throat. She had never heard such a warm tone from her parents before, but now it was coming from someone who had no blood relation to her.
She used to fantasize that her parents would gently explain to her that they were wrong, that they were too stubborn, and that they hadn't spent enough time with her. Even after living through these past ten or twenty years, she would forgive them.
Lu Yuzhu's childhood was filled with constant comparisons to other outstanding children by Chen Biqing. Chen Biqing bought her many extracurricular books and assigned her far more summer and winter homework than her classmates. She had very little time to play and spent most of her time either doing exercises or reading.
She was rebellious for a period during her adolescence, but if she disobeyed Chen Biqing, she would be denied food, given extra homework, and have her hands hit with a wooden stick.
Even though she consistently ranked at the top of her class, they rarely praised her. When other adults praised her in front of others, her mother would only say, "She's not that capable; she's just lazy."
She felt that Chen Biqing treated her like a robot, expecting her to do whatever she was told, and if she didn't do it well, she was considered not good enough, not hardworking enough, and not ambitious enough.
Thinking of all this, Lu Yuzhu couldn't help but step forward and hug Qin Fenglan, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "From now on, let's live a good life as a family."
This action surprised Qin Fenglan, but she quickly hugged Lu Yuzhu back, gently patted Lu Yuzhu's back, and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, let's live well as a family."
The next day, Lu Yuzhu arrived at Chen Biqing's home, which was also her former home, where she had lived for more than ten years.
If the two hadn't divorced, she might still be living in this house, this house without warmth.
When Chen Biqing saw Lu Yuzhu arrive, she poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, then asked, "How's your dad doing lately?"
Lu Yuzhu took the water, her expression calm: "I'm much better than before."
Chen Biqing nodded, then sat down on the sofa. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Tell me about your dating life."
Lu Yuzhu felt uncomfortable listening to this. It was always like this; every time she opened her mouth, it was with a purpose in mind. It was as if she was reporting to her boss.
“The talks went quite well,” Lu Yuzhu said calmly.
Chen Biqing disliked her attitude, but she controlled her tone, thinking that the two of them hadn't seen each other for quite some time.
“Yuzhu, can’t you talk to your mother properly?” Chen Biqing said.
She wants to speak properly, but isn't she the one who's not giving him the chance?
Lu Yuzhu's expression softened slightly: "Mom, I want to tell you that my boyfriend Ning Anyuan is a great person, and our relationship is very stable. So please let me think it over carefully. I've thought it through very clearly, and I will stay with him forever."
Chen Biqing's expression darkened upon hearing this: "Do you know how vast the disparity is between your two families?"
"Can you guarantee that his family and relatives won't have any objections after you marry into the family? Wealthy families are very particular about marrying someone of equal social standing, just like our family is."
"The disparity is too great; the woman is the one who suffers."
Lu Yuzhu smiled sarcastically: "Everyone hopes their daughters marry into a wealthy family and that they marry well. This is the first time I've ever seen someone who doesn't want their daughter to marry rich."
Chen Biqing frowned: "How can you talk like that? I'm your mother, and I also hope you marry well. I'm just worried that he'll only be interested in your youth and beauty. Even if he gets tired of you later, he's rich and can find many more young girls."
“His family’s financial situation is so different from ours, do you think he’ll respect your family?”
Lu Yuzhu was speechless: "Not all rich people are like this. Besides, do you think I'm not good enough for him? In the end, it's you who looks down on me and thinks I'm not good enough."
Chen Biqing was a little angry, and it was not hard to hear the anger in her tone: "Lu Yuzhu, do you think you understand men? I am an elder and I am doing this for your own good. I know that you have a stable job now and a promising future. I raised you with great care. Do you think you can be that bad?"
Lu Yuzhu rarely heard Chen Biqing admit that she was excellent and not bad, so she was obviously a little surprised.
