Chapter 1416 Let Go and Continue to Love
Kou Quan, Lu Jiang and others did not squeeze into the hall because there were too many people, so they went to the back garden.
Kou Quan didn't say a few words before he started communicating with the receptionist. He had to prepare the car to the hotel first and also confirm whether the hotel's banquet was ready.
As soon as Kou Quan left, Shiqi said a few polite words and left. Many guests had come, so she had to go out and show her face. They all came from far away, so she couldn't neglect them.
As soon as the person left, Lu Jiang's face fell, and his voice was a little cold, "You saw it, are you satisfied?"
If Zhou Lan'er hadn't insisted on coming, Lu Jiang wouldn't have joined in the fun.
Zhou Lan'er glanced back at Lu Jiang and sat down on a chair beside her. "What's with your tone?"
"What's with my tone? Seeing your ex, I think you've regained your composure." Lu Jiang stood in front of Zhou Lan'er, his tone and attitude seemed like a different person, and the image of a good husband disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Lan'er raised her eyes and looked at Lu Jiang with a faint smile on her face. What a terrible possessive man.
She took Lu Jiang's hand, gently put her face in his palm, and asked in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? We have been married for so many years and have children. Do you think I will go back to Brother Xiaoquan in this situation?"
"Brother Xiaoquan already has Zhuang Shiqi. In fact, he has always loved Zhuang Shiqi. I was unwilling to admit it before, but after many twists and turns, he finally got what he wanted. What can I do? Even if I look back, will he look at me straight in the eye?" Zhou Lan'er sighed softly.
When people knew that Qi Yao was Kou Quan, it was not only Zhuang Shiqi who was greatly shocked, but also her, okay?
But for the sake of her children, for the sake of this precarious home, she had no choice but to swallow everything. She wanted to ask, why? Was she not good enough?
But now, she no longer has the qualifications.
What happened to the eldest brother back then was closely related to Kou Quan. In other words, Kou Quan had never really intended to marry her, otherwise he would not have had the intention to kill the eldest brother.
Such a gentle and gentlemanly man actually dared to do such a thing for Zhuang Shiqi.
She probably no longer had any love for him, only hatred for him because he had brought disaster to her and the Zhou family. She wanted to tear that hypocritical man into pieces, but in the end, she was unwilling to force herself to admit that he was the only man she had ever deeply loved.
Lu Jiang's expression did not improve after hearing this. He pinched her chin, stared down at her jade-white face and said, "You still seem unwilling to give up."
"Everyone feels resentful about something they haven't achieved. I'm not a saint, so it's no wonder I feel unbalanced," Zhou Lan'er said frankly, looking up at Lu Jiang. "It's not that I still miss Brother Xiaoquan, I just can't let go of the past. Why does Xiaoquan love Zhuang Shiqi? If it was someone else, I would be happy to bless him, but Zhuang Shiqi..."
"Why do you have such a big opinion about Qiqi?" Lu Jiang's expression relaxed a lot, probably because he heard her say that she was not obsessed with Kou Quan.
Zhou Lan'er curled her lips, "Because my brother really loves her."
After a pause, he pressed his head against Lu Jiang's waist and abdomen, resting his head against his warm body and said, "Don't you think Zhuang Shiqi is promiscuous?"
"No, she is very simple." Lu Jiang said seriously.
Because she was so trusting, she was repeatedly deceived. Kou Quan had grown up with her under the same roof, and after plastic surgery, he approached her. No matter how genuine his disguise was, it was impossible not to discover his hidden secret. But Shiqi simply didn't see it. It wasn't stupidity, it was just too trusting. When you love someone, even if you have a premonition, you refuse to believe it, just like Zhou Haoyu, who used to live a life of debauchery. She was so foolish as to think about others even if she didn't come home overnight.
Don’t be fooled by Seventeen’s smart appearance, she is actually the simplest and most emotional.
Zhou Lan'er snorted softly, "Come on, how long had my brother been gone then? She got married in just six months. At the time, she didn't even know Qi Yao was Xiao Quan. To develop feelings for a stranger so quickly is pretty impressive."
"Lan'er, don't slander Seventeen in such a tone. Don't do this again next time." Lu Jiang said in a deep voice.
She and he had a different perspective. Seventeen was Lu Jiang's sister. But to Zhou Lan'er, Seventeen was the enemy who had destroyed the Zhou family. Her eldest brother's autopsy report had been altered, and the police had overturned the original record, turning homicide into suicide. Haha, did they think she was stupid?
Although the autopsy report and the police both denied that her eldest brother was murdered, Zhou Lan'er also believed that her brother was killed by Seventeen. If he hadn't killed someone, how could he have been so scared and crazy?
It's retribution.
"If you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you." Zhou Lan'er shrugged. It wasn't worth it to hurt their feelings for an outsider.
Zhou Lan'er had figured it out now. Her husband was Lu Jiang, and the man she was going to spend her life with was the one in front of her. No matter how much she loved him before, it wasn't hers. No matter how good someone else's was, it wasn't hers either. Since this was already like this, she should just live a down-to-earth life. The Zhou family business was gone, and her personal brand had been packaged and handed over to someone else when the Zhou family company couldn't make ends meet. She was unemployed now, focusing on taking care of her children and mother at home. She was no longer the proud eldest daughter. Her son, mother, and herself all depended on him.
Lu Jiang half-knelt in front of Zhou Lan'er, holding her hand, and whispered, "I know you're unwilling in your heart, and you hate the Zhuang family. But the Zhuang family has done my Lu family a favor. Lan'er, just think of it as forgetting all this for my sake, okay?"
Zhou Lan'er smiled and nodded perfunctorily, "What else can I do if I don't want to forget? You won't help me get revenge."
Her father, her elder brother, the Zhou family's fortune, all those family members and properties that disappeared in an instant, even if she harbored deep hatred, what could she do? In a world like this, what could a little woman like her do to someone who could cover the sky with one hand?
"Lan'er." Lu Jiang called softly, "You are the most sensible person, much more sensible than Qiqi. You won't have the heart to ignore our child, your mother, and me, right?"
Zhou Lan'er was silent for a long time before she said, "Lu Jiang, hold me."
Lu Jiang sat down beside her and hugged Zhou Lan'er tightly. "It's okay. After we immigrate, everything that happened before will be in the past. We will live our own lives from now on."
"Ah."
Seventeen came out of the house and called out from afar, "Brother Lu Jiang, Sister Lan'er, let's go, let's go to the hotel to eat first."
"Okay, I'm here." Lu Jiang patted Zhou Lan'er and kissed her on the ear. "We'll be affectionate tonight. We have to go now. Don't keep us waiting too long."
Seventeen stood at the door, smiling as they approached. Lan'er felt happy, and Seventeen felt a great deal of guilt towards Zhou Lan'er. Zhou Haoyu was one, Kou Quan was another.
