Chapter 66: You Poor Child

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Good girl. Your parents are blessed to have such an obedient daughter like you.” Old Mrs. Lu pulled Xu Jiaojiao’s hand and gently patted it. “How have you been recently? And your grandmother and the rest?”

“I’m fine. Grandma and the rest are good too,” Xu Jiaojiao replied.

“That’s good. It’s been too long since we last met. I’ve been thinking about her.” The old lady nodded. Her expression was a little sad as she sighed softly. “Our family has let you down, you poor child. You’ve suffered a lot lately.”

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head. “Granny Lu, that’s all in the past now.”

Old Mrs. Lu did not say anything else, but she looked very sad as if she was thinking about something.

Xu Jiaojiao did not disturb Old Mrs. Lu and quietly waited for her to continue.

After a short silence, Old Mrs. Lu looked up and broke the silence.

“I heard about the wedding, Jiaojiao…” Old Mrs. Lu paused. From the corner of her eye, she saw the ring on Xu Jiaojiao’s finger, and the worst thought emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Although she already had an answer, she still asked in the end.

“Are you really married now?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. “Yes… Lu Zhuo and I are over now, Granny Lu.”

Xu Jiaojiao did not want to lie to Old Mrs. Lu. Even if she could lie to the old lady for now, after she left, Old Mrs. Lu might just tell Lu Zhuo he had a chance. If that happened, there would be no end to his pestering again.

She might as well tell the truth and end it here.

Old Mrs. Lu sighed slightly. She seemed to be both emotional and regretful.

“I’m sorry, Granny Lu, I…”

“Silly child, there’s no need to apologize.” Old Mrs. Lu gently held Xu Jiaojiao’s hand. “The Lu family let you down.”

“Granny Lu.” Xu Jiaojiao looked at Old Mrs. Lu and said, “Although Lu Zhuo and I didn’t get together, your friendship with my grandmother shouldn’t be affected. All these years, my grandmother…”

“Don’t worry. I’ve been friends with your grandmother for many years. We’re practically friends for life. How can I hold a grudge over this matter? That would make me seem petty,” Grandma Lu teased.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and did not say anything else.

Perhaps this moment of peace was what the two of them cherished.

After chatting for a while, Old Mrs. Lu invited Xu Jiaojiao to have dinner at her home.
