Chapter 22

The deal was struck, and the others had different thoughts.

Of course, most of them didn’t feel anything. Although one thousand two hundred yuan was a lot, they didn’t care much, especially since Zhu Suisui got it, and the old man was happy, so they were naturally happy too.

The few who were unhappy were those who regretted not finding the bargain themselves, and Wu Xiuzhi and her daughter, who felt sorry for the money they had spent.

But there was nothing they could do, the old man was watching.

Wu Xiuzhi cared about face, for the sake of spending money well, she had to give it in front of everyone, and at least she would get a good reputation.

Zhu Suisui was quite happy to have the money, she would go back to Yan Ziqing’s place to get the one thousand two hundred yuan, and then she could go back to her hometown and talk to her family about moving to the capital.

At nine o’clock.

The old man was also about to go to bed, Yan Ziqing and the girl who came with him had already left, and the rest naturally had to go home.

Yu Rong was sending Jiao Shanyun and her husband out, her words were all about being happy for Zhu Suisui.

“Suisui is a lucky girl, she thought she bought some junk for two hundred yuan, but it turned out to be a treasure. She made a thousand yuan in a turn around, now she’s stepped into the antique circle, she can buy a lot of treasures with that thousand yuan. Lanxu is also good to Suisui, it seems like he gives her all his salary.”

These words made Jiao Shanyun frown.

Finding bargains wasn’t that easy, she had found a big bargain on her first try, so her mind naturally started to work. If she had really bought something wrong, she probably wouldn’t have thought anything of it, but it was her first purchase, and she had this opportunity, wouldn’t she keep buying? If she did, the family’s money might not be enough for her to spend.

That wasn’t Zhu Suisui’s own money, it was her son’s hard-earned money, if it was all spent, she, as a mother, wouldn’t feel good about it, of course.

Jiao Shanyun was unhappy, but she didn’t say anything on the surface, she said lightly, “It’s just luck, she hasn’t stepped into the antique circle. Suisui is still young, and Lanxu is so much older than her, it’s normal for him to spoil her a little. Moreover, father also loves Suisui, and Lanxu listens to his grandfather, I never interfere in their husband and wife matters, anyway, Taining and I have enough money.”

Yu Rong said, “That’s true.”

But she felt even more uncomfortable.

Yes, the old man doted on Zhu Suisui so much, maybe he secretly gave her even more money. If Zhu Suisui had married her son, the old man would definitely have cared, after all, he wouldn’t want Zhu Suisui to be wronged in her marriage.

But now, Zhu Suisui had married the already glorious Lu Lanxu, her parents both had high positions, and with the old man’s secret help, her life would be more comfortable than a princess.

Unlike her and Chengzhi…

If they could have allocated resources reasonably, if Zhu Suisui had married her son, and Lu Lanxu had married her niece, how glorious she would be in the Lu family.

The two of them chatted, each feeling unhappy.

Zhu Suisui and Lu Qingying were walking behind them.

Lu Qingying said, “Sister-in-law, you really impressed me today. When we go to get the money, will you really let me go with you?”

Actually, Lu Qingying was a few years older than Zhu Suisui.

But she was simple by nature, her joys and sorrows were all on the surface, for example, now, she was much closer to Zhu Suisui.

Zhu Suisui saw that she was genuinely interested, so she smiled and said, “Sure, when you have time, we’ll go and see the world.”

Lu Qingying was overjoyed, “Okay!”

They reached the front gate.

It was already very dark.

Lu Taining had driven over, and the couple had already gotten into the car.

Zhu Suisui and Lu Qingying came out, chatting and laughing.

They were about to get into the car.

But something caught her eye and stopped her.

She saw a Hongqi sedan parked not far away.

This type of car and brand was rarely driven by anyone, especially in this era, because it meant status and symbolism.

Only people of a certain level could possibly be in this car.

And by coincidence.

Zhu Suisui recognized the specific owner of this car.

Obviously, Lu Qingying beside her also saw it, she exclaimed, “Why did brother come too? Didn’t he have work to do?”

Yes.

Didn’t Lu Lanxu have work to do?

In her previous life, she didn’t remember Lu Lanxu coming, but why did he come this time?

Maybe he had something else to do.

Zhu Suisui didn’t think Lu Lanxu had come to pick her up.

She said lightly, “I don’t know, let’s get in the car.”

Lu Qingying looked at Zhu Suisui in confusion.

If it had been before, her sister-in-law would have already shyly run over.

Even though Lu Qingying hadn’t been in love, she knew that Zhu Suisui liked Lu Lanxu very much.

Why was she so calm and indifferent now that Lu Lanxu was here?

Lu Qingying couldn’t figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it, got in the car, and made room for Zhu Suisui.

But as Zhu Suisui was about to step in.

The car window rolled down, and in the shadows, an unbelievably perfect face appeared in her vision.

Their eyes met.

Before Zhu Suisui could react, Lu Taining, who was sitting in the front seat, had already spoken.

“It’s Lanxu, Suisui, you take his car.”

Zhu Suisui pursed her lips.

It seemed like he really had come to pick her up.

It was truly a miracle.

But it was just right.

She also had something to talk to Lu Lanxu about.

Thinking about this.

Zhu Suisui nodded, “I understand, father.”

As Zhu Suisui walked towards the car, Lu Qingying was still confused, “Mother, why did brother suddenly come? Didn’t he say he had official business?”

“Who knows?” Jiao Shanyun’s face was emotionless, but her tone was a little colder.

Strange.

Lu Qingying saw that her mother didn’t want to continue the topic, so she shut her mouth.

At this moment.

Zhu Suisui had already reached the car, Lu Lanxu was driving the car himself today.

He was still wearing the army uniform from the morning, still neat.

But what was surprising was that his thick black hair, which was usually so neat, was a little messy.

You know, Lu Lanxu was always strict and solemn, everything had to be perfect, as if he had OCD and a cleanliness fetish, for example, his clothes, the buttons would never be misbuttoned or unbuttoned, and even his favorite dishes, he wouldn’t take more, as if he had no preferences.

He had always been a person who lived by rules, deep down.

Gentlemanly, polite, and restrained.

This was Zhu Suisui’s impression of Lu Lanxu.

It was also everyone’s understanding of Lu Lanxu.

But now, his slightly messy hair naturally surprised Zhu Suisui.

But only for a second.

Anyway, the person who caused Lu Lanxu to change wasn’t her, why should she care?

Besides, how he was in the future had nothing to do with her.

Thinking about this.

Zhu Suisui’s hand, which was on the passenger door, went to the backseat door, she opened it deftly and got in.

Seeing this, Lu Lanxu’s eyes darkened slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

The car started.

In the cramped and narrow space.

Zhu Suisui leaned back in the seat, looking at the man’s profile in the light, his dark features made him even more aloof, his superior bone structure made him seem unreal, his hand on the steering wheel was white and slender, neatly trimmed, his knuckles were clearly defined, every part of him made you want to indulge in him.

He slightly curled his fingers, turning the steering wheel, driving onto another road, he was very skilled and pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Suisui couldn’t help but think.

If he knew she was going to divorce him, would he still be so skilled?

Would he lose his composure for once?

But then.

Zhu Suisui found her own thoughts funny.

She seemed to be taking herself too seriously.
