Chapter 239: Chapter 239: More Than Six Years After Breaking Up

Lu Jing was utterly at a loss, and in the end, could only look to the man beside her for help.

Jiang Ye, catching the woman’s cue, really wanted to laugh but had to hold it back,

"Ahem, Mom, calm down, don’t scare people."

Those in the know understood it was your enthusiasm.

Those who didn’t know would think there was something terribly wrong with your son, right?

Pfft~

Mrs. Jiang glared but then let go and looked at Lu Jing with a smile,

"Jing, if he ever dares to bully you, just tell me, and watch me beat the life out of him!"

Whether her son was dear to her or not didn’t matter much, but this future daughter-in-law certainly was!

After saying that, Mrs. Jiang took her seat again.

At this point, it was hard for the elders of the Lu Family to pick on anything since everything had been so well handled!

They had started bringing gifts since yesterday, and now they understood—it was because of this?

No wonder!

But, had the Jiang family known about this for so long?

Lu’s mother glared at her daughter fiercely; what could Lu Jing possibly do but respond with a forced smile?

"Mom~"

"Stop, my head hurts, don’t call me."

It was somewhat petulant.

She was fifty years old, for goodness’ sake, why so... childish?

Lu Jing pursed her lips, holding back her laughter.

Otherwise, it might just add fuel to the fire!

Finally, it was Aunt Hua Luo of the Lu Family who spoke,

"Today is Ah Li’s wedding. We can discuss Jing’s and Aye’s matter after the wedding is over."

As Aunt Hua Luo finished, the person delivering the bridesmaid dresses arrived.

The bridesmaid dress alone was quite elegant.

Lu Jing leaned in for a closer look and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

It was so beautiful!

Such a dreamy feeling!

Jiang Ye never took his eyes off the woman and naturally caught all her reactions, a sparkle flashing in his gaze.

Unfortunately, Lu Jing didn’t pay much attention to that.

And the Jiang family couldn’t possibly stay there any longer; after all, the Lu family was busy.

"Li Juan, we won’t bother you for now; let’s have a meal together after everything settles down."

The two families eating together implied that things were moving forward.

It had to be settled!

On this, Mr. Lu and Lu’s mother had to agree even if they didn’t want to.

It was their daughter, and in these matters, it was usually the girl’s side that ended up at a disadvantage.

So, it was better to get it settled.

"Alright."

They agreed without further ado.

...

After the Jiang family left and even Jiang Ye was sent away,

Lu’s mother finally pinched her daughter’s ear,

"Lu Jing!"

"Mom, I was wrong." She quickly admitted her fault.

Although her ear wasn’t very painful, she couldn’t really anger her mother and cause something serious, could she?

"You know you’re wrong now? What were you doing before? Swatting mosquitoes?"

"No, not that."

"You’ve been with that boy since you were nineteen, and now you’re 28. All these years, why have you never mentioned it? Did it feel good leading your mom on like that?"

Ahem.

Lu Jing slowly said,

"Mom, who said I’ve been with him all this time? We broke up in between."

Broke up?

This revelation shocked the Lu family elders, and as her mother, she was the first to respond,

"Did you go abroad because of this?" she asked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing did not deny,

"Yes, we broke up for over six years in between."

So, it wasn’t that long, okay?

At most, three years.

Sigh~

Lu’s mother’s face became stern,

"Why did you break up?"

Uh.

After this question was asked, Lu Jing paused heavily before trying to maintain a calm tone to answer,

"Well, we were both young back then, too impulsive, no surprise there."
