Chapter 62: Uncertain Return

The message Su Yiren sent was like a stone sinking into the sea. Until she returned to the ancestral home with Jiang Jinyun, Lu Yunting didn’t reply to her.

Seeing her constantly turning on her phone, glancing at it, and then turning it off, Jiang Jinyun asked:

“Are you waiting for an important message?”

Su Yiren shook her head, “Nothing, just looking around.”

Jiang Jinyun naturally saw that she didn’t want to talk, but everyone has their own privacy, so she didn’t ask further. She just talked about other things,

“We discussed last night that the painting was supposed to be taken care of privately, but in the end, things turned out like this.”

Su Yiren pursed her lips,

“Mom, I’m sorry, this has implicated you and the Lu family.”

Although she apologized, she had no regrets. If she had to do it again, she would still punish Ouyang Shasha a little.

But Jiang Jinyun laughed,

“Why would I care about that?”

Su Yiren was stunned, looking at Jiang Jinyun in confusion.

Jiang Jinyun sighed softly,

“I originally wanted you to use this to control them and make Yunting remember your kindness. But you made such a big fuss, I’m afraid it will affect your relationship.”

Su Yiren’s lips parted, wanting to say, they never had a relationship, how could it be affected?

But she couldn’t say that, so she closed her mouth again.

Seeing her hanging her head in silence, Jiang Jinyun felt anxious for her,

“I don’t know what kind of charm that vixen used, but she has completely captivated him.”

Then came another round of scolding.

Su Yiren could see that Jiang Jinyun was really anxious, so she smiled and comforted her:

“Mom, don’t get angry and hurt your body, it’s not worth it for this.”

“I’m angry for you!”

“I know…” Su Yiren’s voice was soft,

“But a person’s heart is the hardest thing to control. Ouyang Shasha is capable and resourceful, I’m not, it’s as simple as that.”

“How is she capable? She’s just a vixen!” Jiang Jinyun almost blurted out,

“She’s just like her mother!”

Su Yiren blinked in surprise, looking at Jiang Jinyun.

Jiang Jinyun felt that she had said something wrong, and didn’t want to mention those old things anymore, so she changed the subject,

“Anyway, she’s not a good person.”

Su Yiren already knew Ouyang Shasha’s character, but they were both going to get a divorce. As long as the woman didn’t violate her interests, she didn’t bother to care about their love entanglement.

Jiang Jinyun glanced at Su Yiren, seeing her expressionless, but with a layer of worry in her brows, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

How could she not see that Su Yiren had feelings for Lu Yunting，but there was a little vixen in between them, who wouldn’t be uncomfortable?

It seems that she needs to think of other ways.

Otherwise, if this continues, it will affect their marriage.

Back in her room, Jiang Jinyun’s eyes dimmed for a moment.

She walked to the bed and sat down, pulling out a password box from the bottom drawer of the bedside table. She opened the box, and inside was a photo.

The man in the photo was handsome and charming, looking at the woman with a gentle smile.

The woman was completely focused on the baby in her arms, her maternal love overflowing…

Jiang Jinyun carefully touched the man’s face, her eyes welling up. Her fingers then moved to the baby’s face, her fingertips trembling.

The memories she had suppressed seemed to jump out at that moment, flooding her mind.

If that person hadn’t interfered, she would definitely be the happiest woman now.

With the most gentle man in the world by her side, with their son, with countless ordinary but happy days.

Unfortunately, there is no “if”…

Until after dinner, Lu Yunting still didn’t reply to her message.

Su Yiren was a little angry, so she called Zhou Tong and asked:

“Is Lu Yunting still busy?”

Zhou Tong’s background was noisy, obviously still outside. He walked to a slightly quieter place and replied:

“Yes, the boss is still busy.”

“Tell him to take a look at the message when he has time and give me a reply.”

“Oh…” Zhou Tong looked up at Lu Yunting，who was sitting next to him looking at his phone, and didn’t dare to say that he was holding his phone. He could only act as a peacemaker,

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell him when he’s done.”

After ending the call, Su Yiren was a little puzzled. They just went to the police station to make a statement, why hasn’t he finished yet?

Thinking of Ouyang Shasha’s crying appearance when she left, Su Yiren understood.

Probably that person is busy comforting his little lover now…

She felt inexplicably annoyed, so she threw her phone aside and turned on her digital screen to continue finishing the new product design.

Soon, she will be launching a new brand and will be releasing several autumn clothing items.

The design drawings are now basically complete, they just need to be refined before they can be sent to the factory for prototyping and production.

On the other side, Zhou Tong walked to Lu Yunting and relayed Su Yiren’s words.

Lu Yunting didn’t react, and didn’t know if he heard it or not.

Zhou Tong understood his appearance. Usually when he didn’t want to answer or didn’t know how to answer, he would remain silent, but his mind would be running at high speed.

Lu Yunting looked at his phone for a while before asking him:

“When is the flight delayed to?”

“9:20,” Zhou Tong looked at his watch,

“They should be notifying soon.”

Before he finished speaking, the staff member in the lounge walked over and said:

“Mr. Lu, your flight JY3458 will take off at 9:20. You can go to the gate now.”

Lu Yunting nodded and followed the staff member a few steps forward, then stopped, turned around and said to Zhou Tong:

“If she calls again, just say I’m on a business trip.” He thought for a moment and added a few words,

“Return date is uncertain.”

Zhou Tong: “…” Okay.

The phrase “return date is uncertain” made Su Yiren wait for a week at the Lu family’s ancestral home.

During this week, her ankle recovered a lot and she could walk normally, but she couldn’t walk for too long.

Under Jiang Jinyun’s care, Su Yiren spent her days eating, sleeping, drawing design drafts, and handling work online. During this time, she not only did not have any sickness, but she actually gained two pounds.

Seeing her rosy complexion, Jiang Jinyun was quite happy.

It was a beautiful day, and Jiang Jinyun wanted to take her out for a walk,

“There’s a new restaurant near the company, I heard it’s good, let’s check it out!”

Su Yiren was amused by her “check it out,” and nodded in agreement:

“Okay, let’s check it out.”

Jiang Jinyun hurried to call her upstairs,

“Then come to my room and help me choose an outfit!”

Su Yiren followed Jiang Jinyun to her dressing room and picked out a few outfits.

But after Jiang Jinyun tried them on one by one, she felt that none of them looked good,

“It’s time to get some new clothes.”

Su Yiren continued to search while laughing,

“You’re just too hard on yourself! I think you look good in any outfit! Especially that white cheongsam, it’s so elegant!”

Jiang Jinyun picked up the cheongsam again and looked at it in the mirror, left and right,

“I just feel like I’ve gained some weight around my waist recently, and I don’t look good in a cheongsam.”

“People who are too thin don’t look good in cheongsam! You have a great figure, a long neck and legs, and you have elegance and good posture, you’re perfect for wearing a cheongsam!”

Jiang Jinyun was flattered by her,

“Your little mouth, you know how to talk!”

Su Yiren also laughed along, but when she moved a piece of clothing aside, her smile paused.

It was a dark green silk dress, hanging in the back of the closet where clothes were not often worn, it was not very noticeable.

But Su Yiren recognized it immediately, it was the dress Lu Yunting had given her to attend the auction.

Why was it in Jiang Jinyun’s dressing room?

Seeing her silent for a while, Jiang Jinyun turned to her and asked:

“What’s wrong?”

Su Yiren took the dress and showed it to Jiang Jinyun,

“Mom, where did this dress come from?”
