Chapter 278 What's Wrong with You?
As soon as Luo Huimin finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the stairs without hesitation, with light but firm steps. Qiao Jingyu, who was following behind her, seemed a little cautious, and followed Luo Huimin step by step and stepped onto the stairs leading upstairs.
Tang Jiayu stood there, following the two people's figures as they walked away. Watching them walk up the stairs one after another, Tang Jiayu couldn't help but feel a complex emotion that was hard to describe. Normally, Tang Jiayu should be happy to see Luo Huimin punish Qiao Jingyu.
However, Tang Jiayu couldn't be happy at all. Luo Huimin's words just now kept echoing in his mind: "If it gets out, people will say that our Duan family doesn't even have the basic hospitality." This sentence sounded as if Qiao Jingyu had become a member of the Duan family and was regarded as a close family member; while he became an outsider, a guest! How could Tang Jiayu accept this?
Not only that, but Luo Huimin's words to Duan Yuchen, "Don't even think about asking for mercy for your wife," deeply hurt Tang Jiayu's heart. The title of "wife" is not something that can be called casually! It means that in Luo Huimin's mind, Qiao Jingyu is no longer just Duan Yuchen's girlfriend, but the daughter-in-law of the Duan family and Duan Yuchen's legal wife!
Thinking of this, a faint light flashed in the depths of Tang Jiayu's eyes. She clenched her teeth and warned herself fiercely in her heart: "No, I must not let this happen! I will never allow Qiao Jingyu to replace me so easily..."
Now, she has settled down here. As long as she can perform well, Luo Huimin will definitely be more satisfied with her. After all, she comes from a prominent family, and her father is an important military officer. Only a noble status like her can match the noble and reserved Duan Yuchen.
Duan Yuchen listened quietly to the footsteps that gradually faded away until they disappeared completely on the second floor. Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Tang Jiayu hurriedly followed him, gently held Duan Yuchen's arm, and said in a tender voice: "Yuchen, can I take you home?"
However, Duan Yuchen only frowned slightly, and pulled his arm out of Tang Jiayu's hand without hesitation. His voice was cold and decisive, as if it carried a hint of chill and alienation: "No need."
Tang Jiayu stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on Duan Yuchen's receding figure like a nail. His steps were firm and resolute, and every step seemed to crush Tang Jiayu's heart. She stared blankly at the cold back, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes, and the full of pain surged into her heart like a tide. However, just when this sadness was about to drown her, Tang Jiayu gritted her teeth and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the sadness in her eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a light of determination and determination. It seemed that at this moment, Tang Jiayu had made up her mind that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, Duan Yuchen would eventually belong to her alone!
At the same time, in the other room, Luo Huimin nervously watched Qiao Jingyu slowly walk into the room. When she saw Qiao Jingyu completely enter the room, she hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and gently closed the door. Then, she held Qiao Jingyu's hands tightly.
At this moment, Luo Huimin's wrinkled face was filled with a kind smile, which was as warm as the spring sun. She bent down slightly and asked softly in an extremely gentle voice: "Jingyu, did grandma scare you just now?"
Hearing Luo Huimin's question, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but blink her big, watery eyes, and for a moment she seemed a little at a loss. She opened her mouth and wanted to answer Luo Huimin's question, but found that she stuttered because she was too nervous: "Grandma... Grandma, you..."
Luo Huimin gently pulled Qiao Jingyu and slowly sat on the sofa together. Her eyes were gentle and kind, and she said softly: "Jingyu, Jiayu is a guest of our family no matter what. She was accidentally injured in our house. If I don't express my opinion or explanation, it would be unreasonable! And I can't explain to her father. I was just pretending to be mean to her just now. But you, child, I just brought you breakfast, but you were moved to tears. From this point, we can see that you are really a kind-hearted child! I have seen Jiayu grow up since she was a child. How can I not know her temper and personality? If she hadn't done something too much and too outrageous, with your good temper, you would definitely not hit her."
Hearing these words, Qiao Jingyu felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and her eyes became slightly moist and even a little hot. She couldn't help but hold Luo Huimin's slightly rough but caring hands, and said with a choked voice: "Grandma... Thank you very much for trusting me. I... I don't know what words to use to express my gratitude." At this moment, Qiao Jingyu was deeply moved and excited that she couldn't even speak a complete sentence smoothly. After a pause, she continued: "Grandma, in the end, it was because I was ignorant that I made you so embarrassed. I'm really sorry..." As she spoke, tears slid down her cheeks.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Huimin smiled and glanced at Qiao Jingyu. "You are smart and considerate. You apologized despite feeling wronged. You didn't make it difficult for me at all. If you hadn't apologized just now, I wouldn't know how to protect you. I didn't expect that we have such a good understanding."
Qiao Jingyu, "..." She was indeed acting, but she didn't expect that Luo Huimin was also acting. The two of them really had a tacit understanding in this regard.
When Qiao Jingyu returned to the bedroom, Duan Yuchen was standing by the window in black pajamas smoking. Hearing the door open, he turned and looked in the direction of the door, "Jingyu, come here."
Qiao Jingyu came to Duan Yuchen and asked, "Third brother, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Waiting for you!" Duan Yuchen put out his unfinished cigarette and placed it in the ashtray beside him. "Have you finished copying the scriptures?"
Duan Yuchen's "wait for you" made Qiao Jingyu blush instantly, "Grandma didn't let me copy the sutras, she just pretended to do it for Tang Jiayu to see."
Duan Yuchen reached out and held Qiao Jingyu's hand tightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Grandma, I really love you..." He took Qiao Jingyu's hand and walked towards the cloakroom, "Have you been chatting with grandma over there?"
Qiao Jingyu felt that Duan Yuchen and Luo Huimin had completely treated her as a family member, "Yeah."
"What did you talk about?"
Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but blush when she thought of some of Luo Huimin's words. "Grandma told me to find a time to arrange for her to meet my family..." She also said... let's have a baby as soon as possible. Of course, Qiao Jingyu was still embarrassed to say this to Duan Yuchen.
