Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Accommodation? No Way!
“Actually, I also have something to say,” Su Mian sat down beside Lu Rui.
She wanted to talk to Lu Rui about Lu Ting’s situation.
How could she have dreamt of us abandoning her, and be so terrified.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Given her current mindset, it’s very detrimental to her studies.
Lu Rui didn’t ask what it was about, but started with, “Tingting’s psychological state has been a bit off lately…”
“You noticed too?” Su Mian was somewhat surprised.
Lu Rui was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “You’ve noticed as well? That’s good, then I don’t need to explain. I thought about it all night, how about we send Tingting to a boarding school, let her interact more with classmates, not be so overworked, maybe she’d lighten up a bit?”
“Boarding school?” Su Mian said irritably, “No way! It’s her senior year now, if you send Tingting to boarding school, what would she think of us? Won’t that make her even more anxious?”
She continued somewhat helplessly, “Do you know what Tingting told me this morning?”
Hearing this, Lu Rui’s brow furrowed even deeper, his voice somewhat grave, “What did she tell you?”
Su Mian, finding Lu Rui’s attitude a bit strange and frowning herself, said, “What else could it be? She didn’t sleep all night, do you know why?”
Lu Rui looked at her, his eyes somber.
Su Mian sighed, “She dreamt that we sent her away. I just barely calmed her down, and now you turn around and want to send her to boarding school, how will Tingting cope with that? I think it’s probably the academic pressure that’s too much, making her have all these wild thoughts. Plus, Qiaoqiao has come back…”
She had actually been very worried about how Lu Ting and Qiao Yun got along, but for the past two months, although the two were not close, they had coexisted peacefully.
Now that Tingting could have such a dream, it’s clear that deep down, she’s always had this seed of thought.
Lu Rui was much calmer, and explained to Su Mian, “Don’t you want to know why I had that idea?”
Su Mian looked at him, puzzled.
Lu Rui had a guilty expression, “The company’s recent project was signed because Qiao Yun mentioned it to President Pei, that’s how we got our share.”
Su Mian’s face showed shock, and a wave of self-reproach surged within her.
“Qiaoqiao… how come she never mentioned it…”
Lu Rui gave a bitter smile, “You know Qiaoqiao’s personality, how could she possibly tell us? If President Pei hadn’t mentioned it to me, I would never have known in this lifetime.”
He had not told Su Mian about Qiao Yun being bullied at school, afraid it would worry her.
Su Mian’s voice was strained, “I’m not a qualified mother. Qiaoqiao has been back for so long, and only now do I realize I completely don’t understand her.”
Qiaoqiao was too well-behaved, never crying, causing a fuss, or complaining. Su Mian took for granted that Qiaoqiao had adapted to life here.
She never considered that Qiaoqiao had been making such silent efforts for the family behind the scenes.
Lu Rui gently patted her back, “Alright, I’m at fault too, don’t blame yourself.”
Su Mian had always been soft-hearted since she was young, and Lu Rui, afraid she would be bullied, had always protected her well.
This also led to her being a bit naive and innocent at this age, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t discern right from wrong.
Su Mian’s voice trembled lightly, “Not only do I not understand Qiaoqiao, I also haven’t truly understood Tingting. How could she lie…”
“Tingting, perhaps, wanted to show us through her actions, to make us care about her more,” Lu Rui said.
Lu Rui saw things more deeply, and after a night of thinking, he had also come to understand what Lu Ting was thinking.
“She cares about us too much, has always centered us in her world. Now that Qiaoqiao has come back, she must feel a disparity in her heart and definitely wants to do even better.”
“That’s why I suggested boarding school, to see if it might change her state of mind.”
