Chapter 404: Chapter 441
“Alright, alright, you don’t have to apologize to him. After all, you are still a kid, and he, being an adult, will understand,” Wen Xian said.
As she spoke, Lu Xiao’s eyes were still reddened, but she couldn’t help muttering, “Who is the kid here?”
She was already a college student, after all.
Wen Xian opened the door, and they came out together, looking as if nothing had happened.
But everyone knew that things were different now.
When they returned to the dinner table, Lu’s mother quickly changed the subject, smiling warmly at Li Zaijun:
“Junjun, come on, eat some more. Your aunt made this especially for you and your sister-in-law, just to save my face.”
After sitting down, Little Zaijun obediently picked up her chopsticks and grabbed the crab bun, nibbling it bit by bit.
The soup splattered, leaving a lingering taste on her lips.
She seemed entirely focused on eating, hardly lifting her head, as if she was afraid to look at anyone.
Lu’s father noticed her previously stiff and pale face seemed much relaxed now, and he felt slightly reassured.
Seeing that she had an appetite, Lu’s mother kept serving her, casually probing with a smile:
“Junjun, actually, your aunt has always wanted to tell you something. Your previous boyfriend’s family is from out of town, and they might not stay in Beijing in the future. If you marry him, your uncle and I would be so heartbroken.
How would I explain it to your mother? Maybe you should reconsider; around your brother, there are still many good choices.”
Although Junjun’s personality was always carefree, as if nothing mattered, in her heart, she might be more sensitive and caring than anyone.
Li Zaijun had no idea that her own brother had betrayed her, he was always a taciturn one on normal days.
So, hearing her aunt say this, and thinking about the presence of other people at home, she hesitantly said:
“I, my boyfriend is really good to me, you all don’t need to worry about my matters.”
Once she said this, there was a moment of silence at the table.
Each pair of eyes stared at her complexly.
After all, while she was away, Lu Xiao had personally revealed that she had been cheated on by a scumbag.
But now, she was speaking .
It inevitably caused a sudden tug at everyone’s hearts.
Lu’s mother found it especially hard to taste, while Shen Lin stared at her unblinkingly.
Feeling that something was amiss, Li Zaijun asked, “What’s wrong, why are you all looking at me like that?”
Struggling to restrain her sorrow, Lu’s mother suddenly slapped her chopsticks down on the table the next second, looking at her and said:
“No way! Your aunt has never interfered with your choices, but this time you must break up with that boy, whether you like it or not, many men here are better than that out-of-town guy.”
As she spoke with rising emotion, Lu’s mother suddenly pointed at Shen Lin and said:
“Look, take your brother Shen Lin for example, although he—had many girlfriends before?”
At that moment, Lu’s mother seemed to suddenly realize she had chosen the wrong person as an example.
“Never mind, forget I said anything. Just find someone local from Beijing, otherwise you don’t acknowledge me as your aunt anymore,” Lu’s mother bluntly threatened her.
However, how could the words she had spoken be taken back now.
After a sentence from Lu’s mother, Little Zaijun’s body stiffened slightly.
