Chapter 423 Misunderstanding
After glaring at Lu Tingyun for a while, Du Manli's eyes gradually reddened, and tears began to fall in a stream, making her look pitiful and delicate.
“Young Master Xu, please don’t be so heartless. Lily doesn’t want any official title, she just wants to be with you. Lily promises she won’t disturb your life.”
Lu Tingyun said coldly, "I'm not heartless, I'm just trying to be a good man."
After speaking, Lu Tingyun didn't look at Du Manli again and quickly left the room.
"Young Master Xu, Young Master Xu..."
Du Manli wiped away her tears, put on her mask, grabbed her coat, and chased after him.
In the room opposite the window, the man who had been secretly taking pictures with a camera hurriedly packed his things and left the room after seeing them leave.
When Du Manli caught up to the door, Lu Tingyun was leaning against the wall waiting for her, holding a check in his hand.
Du Manli slowed her pace, her eyes, exposed outside her mask, brimming with laughter: "Young Master Xu, how was my acting?"
"It's alright." Lu Tingyun handed her the check.
Du Manli reached out and took it, then kissed it through her mask: "Next time there's a good job like this, Young Master Xu, you must remember to take care of Lily."
Lu Tingyun didn't say anything and turned to walk towards the elevator, but Du Manli suddenly blocked his way: "Young Master Xu, don't you miss Lily at all?"
"I don't want to." Lu Tingyun said coldly, pushed her aside and walked towards the elevator without turning his head, "Don't forget the show isn't over yet."
Du Manli stared in astonishment at his indifferent back. He had changed; he was no longer the Xu Shaojun she used to know.
Has he really settled down?
Is Jiang Mengru really that amazing?
It's amazing that a notorious playboy could settle down.
After the elevator doors closed, Du Manli walked over and pressed the button for another elevator.
After Lu Tingyun stepped out of the elevator, he walked quickly towards the door. Just as he reached the door, another elevator door slowly opened, and Du Manli, wearing a mask, rushed out while calling out "Young Master Xu".
Without turning his head, Lu Tingyun walked quickly to his car with a blank expression, opened the door, got in, and drove away.
Du Manli stomped her foot in the direction the car had left, then turned and walked towards her car.
The man who had been hiding in the corner taking photos with his camera retreated, then transferred the photos to his phone and sent them to Jiang Mengru.
The phone on the table rang several times in a row. Jiang Mengru knew that the person she had sent to follow Du Manli had sent her photos. She was afraid of seeing something she didn't want to see, so she didn't dare to open them.
"Yi Rou, please take a look for me, I'm too scared to look."
"Okay, I'll take a look for you." Yue Yirou sighed softly, picked up her phone, and opened the window.
After looking at a few photos, Yue Yirou smiled and handed her phone to Jiang Mengru, who looked nervous: "It's a misunderstanding."
Is it really a misunderstanding?
"Look if you don't believe me." Yue Yirou smiled and shoved the phone into Jiang Mengru's hand.
Upon seeing the photos, Jiang Mengru both cried and laughed: "It really is a misunderstanding, Yi Rou, it really is a misunderstanding! Shao Jun didn't cheat on me, he didn't have a secret rendezvous with Du Manli, haha... boohoo..."
Yue Yirou looked at her, smiled faintly, and felt happy for her.
It seems that Xu Shaojun has truly settled down.
She opened her bag, took out her phone, and saw that it was almost four o'clock; she should go home.
"Mengru, it's getting late, I'll head back now and come see you another day."
"No, Yirou, you've come all this way, sit a little longer, have dinner at my house before you go back."
Jiang Mengru grabbed Yue Yirou, preventing her from leaving.
"No, Mengru, I really should go back. Ye wants me to be back before dinner."
Jiang Mengru pouted: "In other families, the husband is afraid of the wife, but in your case, it's the other way around."
Yue Yirou smiled and pursed her lips, offering no explanation.
"Alright, Mengru, I'll come see you another day."
"When is another day? It's not going to be another month or two, is it?" Jiang Mengru said with dissatisfaction.
"No, I'm free." Yue Yirou said, and before Jiang Mengru could react, she smiled, picked up her bag, and walked out.
Not long after Yue Yirou left the Jiang family, Lu Tingyun arrived.
Upon learning that Yue Yirou had just left, Lu Tingyun appeared somewhat disappointed.
He arrived a step too late, but that doesn't matter. She's free now, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Lu Tingyun smiled and kissed Jiang Mengru's forehead: "Mengru, let's go out to eat later. After we eat, I'll go shopping with you to make up for what we did last time."
"Really? That's great!" Jiang Mengru cheered excitedly.
As Yue Yirou sat in the car looking out the window, she suddenly remembered the somewhat familiar face she had seen at the movie theater that night.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned to Xia in the driver's seat and said, "Xia, let's not go back to Xingye Pavilion yet. I want to go see my uncle."
“Yes, young mistress,” Xia Xia replied respectfully.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the mental hospital.
"Young Madam, would you like me to come in with you?" Xia asked, turning around.
"No need, just wait here for me, I'll be out soon."
Yue Yirou pushed open the car door and got out.
She went to see Yue Quan accompanied by the doctor, and on the way, she happened to run into the man that Yan Ye wished she could kill with her own hands.
At that moment, the man was lying on the lawn imitating a rooster's crow.
Yue Yirou stopped and looked at the man, asking the doctor beside her, "Doctor, how long has he been here? Has he not gotten any better?"
“This person has been here for many years. He had some improvement, but he soon returned to his original state. His family cared about him a few years ago and visited him often, but in the last two years, for some reason, they have stopped visiting him and no longer care about him, only providing medical expenses.”
The doctor paused and then said, "He escaped once three years ago, but was later sent back by the police. I don't know the specifics of what happened."
"Has he stayed here ever since the police brought him back three years ago, without ever leaving?"
“He has never left. His family doesn’t know why, even though his condition has improved, they refuse to take him back.”
Yue Yirou didn't ask any more questions. After standing there for a while, she turned and left.
Yue Quan was still the same as before, showing no improvement. He didn't recognize her and kept muttering He Peirong's name.
Uncle, when will you be able to get better? Please get better soon.
Yue Yirou looked at Yue Quan, her eyes gradually becoming misty.
She hoped he would get better soon.
When she returned to Starry Night Pavilion, it wasn't dinner time yet, but as soon as she got out of the car, someone rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"Yi Rou, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have been able to resist going out to look for you." Yan Ye hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his own body.
Although she was given her freedom, he thought about her and worried about her every single moment during the few hours she was away.
