Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife-Chapter 439
Chapter 439
Old Madame Jing listens to Jing Si’s suggestion. She also likes Lu You Yuan. Lu family has proposed so basically Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yuan’s marriage is decided. So it’s easy to decide on the wedding date.
As for Cheng Ru Yu and Jing Suo Suo, Cheng Ru Yu shows his clear-cut attitude. He doesn’t like Jing Fen Fen. These years, he never gives any chance for Jing Fen Fen. Old Madame Jing also doesn’t intend to oppose it strongly. Cheng Ru Yu is a great man. His family background, personality, career, everything about him are great. But for a time, Old Madame Jing couldn’t think it through why her two granddaughters like him so much.
If in the past Cheng Ru Yu dated Jing Fen Fen and broke her heart then he be with Jing SuO Su, of course no one would help to Cheng Ru Yu.
But all along it’s only Jing Fen Fen’s one-sided feeling. So the best way now is shifting her focus.
Thinking fo this, Old Madame Jing calls Lu family. The call is answered by Lu family. Mother Lu sounds happy about it, she even takes initiative to hold a discussion and invites Old Madame Jing to the house to talk it.
It’s just when she hangs up, Mother Lu’s face changes.
“You Yuan, are you sure about this?” I think that Jing Fen Fen doesn’t really love you. She even didn’t show her happy face during the proposal.”
Mother Lu is still remembering the last time her visit to Jing family residence. How Jing Fen Fen treated her son. Lu You Yuan couldn’t eat spicy things since he was young. That day after he came home, he kept on vomiting. It made her heart as a mother shattered into pieces.
Lu You Yuan sits down there and smiles: “We already discuss about marriage, what do you think Ma?”
“But……” Mother Lu frowns.
Lu You Yuan knows what his mother thinks, he hugs her: “Fen Fen is a good woman, now she might not thinking it through. Moreover your son is a man. You are afraid that I would be losing something?”
“Ma is wishing that you are going to marry a considerate woman, the one that could take care of you…..”
“Ma, you are wrong. A good marriage means that we should take care of each other just like you and Pa. How could I marry someone to only take care of me. If it’s the case, shouldn’t I find a nanny?”
“You, kid. You know my meaning right?” Mother Lu looks at her son’s face. She sighs and says: “Forget it, just do what you want then. But Fen Fen looks unhappy. You haven’t able to settle with her, yet we would discuss about the marriage soon. I think you need to play wicked trick.”
For the last time of discussing the proposal for marriage, she doesn’t feel good about it. Their relationship hasn’t reached that part, it’s too early for him. But Lu You Yuan always expresses his feeling toward Jin Fen Fen. Jing family also expresses their aspiration. Father Lu always focuses on his work after returning from abroad and he thinks that Jing family would be a great help for his business so he asks Mother Lu settles down Lu You Yuan’s marriage.
At first she thought that Jing Fen Fen feels nothing toward Lu You Yuan, she would not agree. She didn’t expect that Jing Fen Fen would accept that silently. It’s too weird. She asked Lu You Yuan whether he said something with Jing Fen Fen. Lu You Yuan just answered that Jing Fen Fen might start to have a favorable impression toward him.
Mother Lu doesn’t believe it.
Though Jing Fen Fen and Lu You Yuan recently interact closely but she knows that her son hasn’t settled down with this young woman. Other people might not know about it but as a mother, she knows about it clearly.
“Forget it, as long as Fen Fen is willing ot marry you. Then in the future just live your life well. Ma wouldn’t mind anything else. I and Jing Shen Shen (Ji Yi) have agreed on a date to discuss about your marriage with Fen Fen. Then later Jing family members would come over. It’s all depend on you whether you could make Jing Fen Fen agrees to marry you.”
Mother Lu is worried.
Lu You Yuan smiles: “She would agree.”
Jing family.
Ji Yi accompanies Jing Fen Fen for some time, till someone comes over to find her. She just comes down. The time she is downstair, she just knows that Jing Suo Suo is out with Cheng Ru Yu: “Ma, why didn’t you sto pe her?”
She doesn’t mean that she wants to stop her other daughter to become happy but she couldn’t ignore her oldest daughter’s feeling. This matter is too thorny.
Ji Yi is an adopted daughter of Ji family, she has a great education. Her question isn’t a complain but it’s just an a coquettish act.
“You didn’t see how Suo Suo acted, she looked like she immediately leaves with Xiao Yu, do you think I could stop her?”
“But…..”
Old Madame Jing just cuts her off: “Si Si’s words are true, Xiao Yu never gives any hope for Fen Fen. It’s Fen Fen’s fault that she couldn’t notice it clearly. I think it’s better to set her wedding date with You Yuan so she could calm down.”
Ji Yi is startled: “Do you think she would agree? I’m afraid Fen Fen wouldn’t agree.”
“How could it be? The time Lu family came over to propose a marriage, she didn’t say that she is unwilling. You Yuan is a great man, I think Fen Fen also has a favorable opinion about him. The time they are married and they interact together. They would have feeling toward each other. It’s better that way then letting her keep on longing for someone that doesn’t love her.
Ji Yi ponders about it. That’s right it’s an impossible to let Jing Fen Fen comes out by herself out of Cheng Ru Yu’s ‘prison’. If it’s possible, she should comes out by now.
She sighs. Among her three daughters, it seems that only Suo Suo has a great and smooth relationship. She thinks about how Jing Xian Xian used to love Ji Lin Yuan. Ji Yi feels sorry for her two older daughters.
It’s lucky that Jing Xian Xian could come out of her feeling, Gu Ting’s love toward her is obvious to all. He has a great family background, though he is young and a bit inexperienced but he is great man now.
Jing Suo Suo and Cheng Ru Yu leave Jing family residence. Jing Suo Suo feels so excited. She listens to Ye Qing Xin’s opinion so she wears the clothes that Ye Qing Xin chose for her. It makes her look like a young woman.
When she is with Cheng Ru Yu,it looks like they are father and daughter.
“Where would we eat?” Jing Suo Suo looks at Cheng Ru Yu.
“Is there anything you want to eat?” Cheng Ru Yu smiles.
“I want to eat a bullfrog hotpot.” Jing Suo Suo swallows her saliva.
Cheng Ru Yu laughs because of her cute expression. By saying the name of the food, she looks so gluttonous. He strokes her head and says softly: “Okay.”
They go to a famous Sichuan restaurant, it’s an authentic restaurant.
He orders the food and Jing Suo Suo just watches him. She feels that her boyfriend is very handsome.
There’s no private room in this restaurant so they are sitting on the most secluded corner of the restaurant.
“What are you looking at?” Cheng Ru Yu feels so awkward.
“I’m looking at you. In the past, I didn’t notice that you are so handsome.” Jing Suo Suo just expresses her feeling boldly.
In the past because she worried about Jing Fen Fen’s feeling and she also didn’t know Cheng Ru Yu’s feeling toward her. She doesn’t dare to express her feeling. But now, she is free.
Cheng Ru Yu smiles.
Jing Suo Suo always looks cute, the time she smiles, she could make other people to smile too. The time Cheng Ru Yu be with her, he always be so happy. Sometimes, Cheng Ru Yu couldn’t help but to feel guilty for being with Jing Suo Suo.
So in the present, Cheng Ru Yu has ever kissed Jing Suo Suo once, it’s a simple kiss.
The time the food is served out, Jing Suo Suo’s attention is immediately shifted toward the food on the table. Then she notices that Cheng Ru Yu just has a glass of juice. He is watching her, he looks like he doesn’t have intention to eat.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
Cheng Ru Yu serves her a glass of hot soy milk: “Don’t eat too much, you’ll get stomachache later on.”
“I would not, I have a great stomach.” JIng Suo Suo eats till her lips is red and oily. Cheng Ru Yu keeps on watching her lips for two seconds. His Adam’s Apple moves.
They are eating on the restaurant next to the department store. Chen Ru Yu holds JIng Suo Suo’s hands and strolls around. The time they are passing a sushi restaurant. Jing Suo Suo drags him inside and orders one for each sushi.
“If I know that you don’t like to eat spicy food, I also wouldn’t eat it. Just eat this one.” Jing Suo Suo picks one and tries to feed Cheng RuYu.
Jing Suo Suo loves to eat spicy food but her skin is not really great. She could have pimple easily so she doesn’t eat it often. She never eats SiChuan food with Cheng Ru Yu so she doesn’t know that he doesn’t like spicy food.
Cheng Ru Yu doesn’t explain why he didn’t eat before.
He is occupied with something inside his mind.
He looks at her and feels somehow he is like a beast…..
“Eat.” Jing Suo Suo notices that Cheng Ru Yu is looking at her and doesn’t move. Jing Suo Suo couldn’t help but blush.
Cheng Ru Yu eats the food that she gives to him. His lips accidentally touches her fingers. Jing Suo Suo takes her hand back and looks at it. Her heart is beating so fast.
“That… Cheng Da Ge, it’s late. I want to go home.”
Jing Suo Suo feels that her heart will burst soon. She could feel that his lips are so cold and soft, it’s very soft….
She never feels that way, she is somewhat shy.
Cheng Ru Yu is much taller than Jing Suo Suo, he watches her.
He strokes her hair and says: “Let’s go, let me send you home.”
Jing Suo Suo lifts up her head to look at him. She is relieved and a bit disappointed.
She doesn’t know why but she has been in relationship with for half month, but she feels that they are not as close as what a couple should be. Though every time they are together, he is attentive and caring toward him.
Jing Suo Suo doesn’t know what’s wrong.
The car stops outside the Jing family’s mansion, Jing Suo Suo looks at Cheng Ru Yu and says: “I’ll get in first. Drive safely.” She places a box of sushi on the table and says: “This is for you, don’t forget to eat it.”
Cheng Ru Yu nods: “Sleep early.”
“Em.” Jing Suo Suo undoes her safety belt and opens the car. She thinks about it and she just turns her head and kisses Cheng Ru Yu’s cheek. “Good night, Cheng Da Ge.”
Cheng Ru Yu watches Jing Suo Suo gets inside the mansion. He touches his cheek and smiles.
The time he is about to drive, he calls someone. “Ji Fan, are you free? Let’s go and have a drink.”
Jing Suo Suo gets inside the mansion and everyone is in the living room, they just finish their dinner. Everyone is looking at her. Jing Suo Suo is a bit scared. “What is it? Is there something wrong?”
Ji Yi speaks up: “Xiao Yu sent you home?”
Jing Suo Suo nods: “Yes, we just had dinner and went home. I’m sleepy. I’ll return to my room first.” Then she just goes upstair.
“Suo Suo.” Jing Suo Suo is about to open her door, when Jing Fen Fen comes out of the room. “Congrats, finally you have your wish fulfilled.”
Jing Suo Suo turns her head and looks at her. She pursues her lips.
“I also like him, I will not give him up.” Jing Fen Fen is a bit pale, yet her expression is stupefied.
“Jie (Sis), Cheng Da Ge doesn’t like you.”Jing Suo Suo doesn’t understand Jing Fen Fen’s thinking. When she used to like Yu Geng Xin, the time she realized that there’s no hope between them, she chose to retreat.Though it’s hard but it made her free.
But why? Why Jing Fen Fen couldn’t accept this and make everyone be unhappy?
“I know.” Jing Fen Fen says indifferently. “He doesn’t like me, but it wouldn’t make me give him up. Though I might marry someone, but I’ll keep him inside my heart.”
“Jie!” Jing Suo Suo says unhappily. She hates that her man is longed by someone else. “Don’t be like that. You Da Ge loves you, why should you do this? Why couldn’t you accept him?”
“I accept him.” Jing Fen Fen laughs: “But I just accept him, but it couldn’t stop me long for Cheng Da Ge, right?”
“You are crazy!’ Jing Suo Suo yells.
She doesn’t expect this, she thinks that Jing Fen Fen and You Yuan would be together and Jing Fen Fen would forget about Cheng Ru Yu. Who knows that Jing Fen Fen plans to do this.
“Suo Suo, what are you doing?” Ji Yi hears something and goes up.
“Ma, Da Jie (Sis), she.. She…..” Jing Suo Suo doesn’t know how to explain it, Jing Fen Fen just glances at her and returns back to her room.
“Okay okay. Your Da Jie is in a bad mood. Don’t fight with her.” Ji Yi doesn’t know what happened. But looking at how red Jing Suo Suo’s red face, she could guess what Jing Fen Fen said.
Jing Suo Suo is asked to go back to her room, she is still angry. Through the night, she couldn’t sleep well. She is worried that Jing Fen Fen would do what she said before.
In late night, she gets off her bed and wears her coat. She goes to knock on Jin Fen Fen’s room.
Jing Suo Suo couldn’t sleep, Jing Fen Fen is unable to slep too.
She opens the door to let Jing Suo Suo gets in: “What do you want?”
“I know that you changed my present.” Jing Suo Suo gets straight into the point.
Jing Fen Fen is startled: “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
“Last year for Cheng Da Ge, I gave Cheng Da Ge a belt and a letter. You changed my present with yours. Cheng Da Ge used the belt that you bought. He thought that it’s from me. How could you not say the truth about it?”
Jing Suo Suo asked about that matter to Cheng Ru Yu. Cheng Ru Yu said that inside the box there’s only a note and a box. It’s signed by Jing Fen Fen so he gave it to someone else.
He doesn’t know that it’s Jing Suo Suo’s present.
Cheng Ru Yu thought the belt he wore was from Jing Suo Suo, but turns it’s not.
Jing Suo Suo had misunderstood him for a while.
Jing Fen Fen pursues her lips. It’s true. That time she just knows that Jing Suo Suo likes Cheng Ru Yu, but she didn’t know that Cheng Ru Yu also likes Jing Suo Suo. So she wanted to have a proof.
“Yes, I did it. So what? You want to use this matter to threaten me?” Jing Fen Fen looks at Jing Suo Suo, “You want to tell my Pa Ma, or perhaps you want to tell Cheng Da Ge?”
“I….” Indeed she wants to use this matter to threaten Jing Fen Fen to let her not be concerned about Cheng Ru Yu, but it seems that Jing Fen Fen is indifferent bout what other thinks about her.
“Jie, Cheng Da Ge doesn’t like you…” Jing Suo Suo doesn’t know what should she say that moment.
“I know but you don’t need to remind me! Go outside! I want to sleep.”
“Jie, I’ll not give up Cheng Da Ge because of you.” Jing Suo Suo then leaves. Jing Fen Fen sits down on the bed disappointedly. She holds her legs.
She knows that she should be annoying one, but she couldn’t control herself. She feels so unhappy, but she doesn’t know how to vent it.
Suddenly her phone makes a noise.
The ring draws her back from her imagination, she lowers her head and doesn’t know that she is the one that calls Lu You Yuan.
It’s already 11 o’clock. She wants to hang up, but Lu You Yuan suddenly says: “Fen Fen.”
Jing Fen Fen doesn’t know what to say, she just holds the phone.
“You have a heart trouble?” You Yuan seems to be woke up with a noise. He is patient and attentive: “Could you share with me?”
Jing Fen Fen is silent.
These months of interaction, at starts she hated him, but now she doesn’t hate him.
He is someone with strong work ethics. Jing Fen Fen had trouble several time and Lu You Yuan could solve her problem quite fast. There are lot of ways for a man to impress a woman. Lu You Yuan wants Jing Fen Fen to be filled with admiration with his work. It’s just Jing Fen Fen is a bit unwilling to admit it.
Except the time he forced kiss her the time they returned from the manor, Lu You Yuan is a good friend and work partner.
Before the new year, Lu You Yuan said to Jing Fen Fen that she should consider him to be her lifetime partner. He gave her three reasons. First, Jing family wouldn’t stay silent and calm to see that she is still unmarried when she is already thirty years old. If she is single, her parents would find a way to force her to marry a man.
Second, he knows that she has someone inside her heart. If they are married, he wouldn’t intervene about her personal feeling. He wouldn’t mind.
Third, he would be a great work partner for her and also lifetime partner.
Yes, partner. Partners who each takes what they need.
Jing Fen Fen doesn’t want to be forced, she also doesn’t have energy to find a husband. Shouldn’t she accept him?
So that’s why the time Lu family comes over to propose a marriage alliance, she says nothing.
Since they are partner, there’s no worry to share. She could share with him.
Jing Fen Fen doesn’t know since when she started to trust him. He gives her a great sense of security. She starts to depend on him.
Hearing Jing Fen Fen’s sharing, Lu You Yuan’s voice is calm. He is gentle and patient. “Trust me Fen Fen. I am a man, so I understand man. You keep on longing for him and not letting him go. It’ll just make him leave you further. You should live your own life well. As long as you burst into bloom, maybe that man would be attracted to you.
“Then what should I do?”
“Live well. Our families have talked about our marriage. Fen Fen, this time you should not put him inside your heart. Without him, you also could live well. You should show him that you are not petty and low.”
Lu You Yuan’s words are charming, it lets somehow Jing Fen Fen’s heart approve his thought.
Yes, she couldn’t show her petty and low self. She should show how charming she is.
“Thanks, You Yuan.” Jing Fen Fen thanks him sincerely and says: “I believe that we would be great partners for each other.”
She agrees to Lu You Yuan’s advice.
Lu You Yuan explains to her that his family also keeps on urging him to marry.
Lu You Yuan waits till Jing Fen Fen hangs up. He puts down his phone. He has lost his sleepiness. He turns on the bedside lamp. He looks at the photo frame beside his bed.
It’s a photo of a little girl on her bicycle, that girl is smiling.
Jing Fen Fen is not here. But if she is, she could recognize that girl easily to be her.
Lu You Yuan takes it and smiles.
