Chapter 208: I was with her during the three years you disappeared
When Jiang's father and mother heard Jiang Lu's words, they were both stunned.
Father Jiang frowned even deeper, "Lulu, what do you mean? We all thought you and Su Mu were together. You can't joke about this kind of thing."
Jiang Lu took a deep breath, "Dad, Mom, I know you are optimistic about Su Mu, but relationships can't be forced. We are just friends, and we always have been."
Jiang's mother said anxiously, "Lulu, Su Mu is such a good kid, and he cares about you. What can your ex-boyfriend give you? You must stop being so confused."
Jiang Lu bit her lip and said, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good. But I am no longer the little girl I was before, I can tell the difference. I like Fu Ze, from the beginning to the end, he is the only one I like."
Jiang's father and mother looked at each other, their eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Father Jiang sighed, "Lulu, we know Fu Ze well. Can he give you a stable life? We just don't want you to suffer in the future."
Jiang Lu looked at her father firmly, "Dad, I am not afraid of hardship. I am very happy with him, and that is enough."
Jiang's mother came over and took Jiang Lu's hand, "Lulu, love can't be eaten. Su Mu has a good family background and is a stable person. He can give you everything we can't give. Think about it carefully."
Jiang Lu gently broke free from her mother's hand and said firmly, "Mom, I don't care about these external things. I just want a sincere relationship. Being with Fu Ze, I can feel that his love for me is from the heart, not for profit or anything else."
"In the beginning, I listened to you and gave up on Aze once. Now that he comes back this time, I will never let him go again."
"You..." Father Jiang said angrily, "You really want to piss me off to death, right?"
Jiang Lu's eyes were filled with tears, but her tone was still firm, "Dad, I'm not trying to make you angry. I just want to fight for my own happiness for once. From childhood to adulthood, I have always listened to you and mom, but this time is different."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open with force. Su Mu stood at the door panting. His eyes swept over everyone in the room and finally fell on Jiang Lu.
"Lulu, is what you said true?" Su Mu looked at Jiang Lu with a hurt face.
Jiang Lu looked at Su Mu's hurt eyes, her heart full of guilt, but she knew that she couldn't be vague at this moment, so she nodded gently, "Su Mu, I'm sorry, what I said is true, I have always only regarded you as a friend and a partner, I hope you can understand."
Su Mu's body shook slightly, as if he had suffered a great blow. He smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that as long as I treated you well, you would always see my feelings. I didn't expect..."
He paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Never mind. I was just being sentimental."
Jiang's father and mother, standing by, felt a little bit sorry.
"Su Mu, our Lulu is just being upset, don't take it seriously."
Hearing this, Jiang Lu quickly said, "Dad, Mom, don't you understand? I don't like Su Mu. If the two of us are forced to be together, we won't be happy."
Besides, she had already promised Fu Ze that she would never abandon him again.
After hearing what Jiang Lu said, Jiang's father and mother were speechless for a moment. They knew that once their daughter became stubborn, no one could pull her back.
Su Mu raised his head slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes, "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, you don't have to persuade me, I know, love is something that cannot be forced."
He looked at Jiang Lu and said slowly: "Lulu, I respect your decision and hope you can be truly happy, but..."
His voice was slightly choked up, "It's just that I'm really sad. After all, I have given so much of my heart."
Jiang Lu was filled with guilt, but she could only bite her lip and said, "Su Mu, I'm sorry, I know I failed you, but I really can't go against my heart."
Father Jiang sighed heavily, "This is all because we thought you two were a good match and put you two together, which has led to this awkward situation."
Su Mu took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, aunt, you don't have to feel guilty. This has always been my one-sided wish. It has nothing to do with Lulu."
At this point, Su Mu paused and lowered his eyes, "Sorry! Sorry for disturbing you, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Su Mu turned and left.
Seeing Su Mu's lonely back, Jiang Lu felt more relieved than guilty.
Jiang's father and mother looked at Su Mu's departing back, feeling helpless and emotional.
Mother Jiang sighed softly, "This child is also a simple-minded person. What a pity."
Su Mu had just walked out of the Jiang family when he unexpectedly saw a black Rolls-Royce parked not far away.
Seeing Su Mu coming out, the car window rolled down, revealing Fu Ze's handsome face, "Mr. Su, shall we talk?"
Su Mu looked at Fu Ze, with a complex emotion in his heart, including surprise and a hint of displeasure, but he still nodded, "Okay, let's talk!"
Fu Ze got out of the luxury car and said straight to the point: "Mr. Su, I heard that it was your financing that saved the Jiang Group during the three years I was away. I am very grateful. But it does not mean that I will give my beloved to you."
After that, Fu Ze looked at Su Mu and said, "I know how you feel about Lulu, and I thank you for taking care of her all the time. But as you said, love is something that cannot be forced. The person Lulu likes is me. I hope you can let it go completely in the future and stop bothering her."
Su Mu was originally upset because of Jiang Lu's rejection. Now Fu Ze came to provoke him again. He immediately felt dissatisfied, "Mr. Fu, what if I say no?"
Fu Ze frowned slightly, stepped forward and grabbed Su Mu's collar, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Mr. Su, I thought you were a sensible person, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
Su Mu was not willing to be outdone. She met his gaze and sneered, "Mr. Fu, you are too confident. Why do you think you can make Lulu happy? During the three years you disappeared, I have been with her, taking care of her and caring about her. Now that you come back, you want me to give you up. How can it be so easy?"
Fu Ze's face darkened. "The relationship between Lulu and I is not something you can understand. I came back this time to make up for the regrets of the past and give her happiness. Moreover, I have the ability to let her live a good life, there is no doubt about that."
Su Mu clenched his fists. "Humph, everyone can brag. You have the ability? Then why did you go abroad? Where were you when the Jiang family was about to go bankrupt?"
"I..." Fu Ze wanted to refute, but for a moment, the words came to his lips and he couldn't say them.
