CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 557: THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A STORY

"Hiss, it’s not about whether you think too much."

People normally would be surprised by such news, wouldn’t they?

A heart burning with fierce gossip almost swelled up to their throat.

Fortunately, Jiang Ye had come down with his suitcase at this point:

"What are you guys talking about?" he asked.

Lu Jing obviously didn’t answer, and Jiang’s mother glanced over:

"It’s women’s talk, why would a big man like you interfere?"

Alright, can’t I just not ask?

Lu Jing’s face, previously filled with gossip and shock, now returned to normal as he stood up.

When Jiang’s mother saw her son with his suitcase:

"Are you leaving now?" she asked.

Jiang Ye nodded:

"Yes, still got work."

Jiang’s mother let out a sigh, seeming unwilling to let them go:

"Leaving just like this? I was about to prepare some food for you."

Lu Jing took the initiative to take Jiang’s mother’s hand:

"Aunt Su, we’ll come back and visit you next time."

With those words, how could Jiang’s mother not be happy?

Instantly, she was pleased.

"Eh eh eh, alright."

The wife had spoken, could her son still be stubborn?

So, how could she not be happy?

"Is there anything else you need? Want to take some tonics with you?"

Lu Jing didn’t want it to be like last time, which was almost like stocking up, the expensive tonics they took could have opened a store, and besides, they hardly ate them, it was such a waste.

"Aunt Su, no need, we haven’t finished the last ones yet."

Jiang’s mother was about to say ’if you haven’t finished the last ones, then just don’t eat them, eat fresh ones.’

But Jiang Ye had already interrupted:

"Mom, can you stop exaggerating? Do you think we are still three years old?"

"How am I exaggerating? You ungrateful brat, taking kindness for granted, huh?

Besides, did I talk to you? Why are you butting in?

I was talking to my daughter-in-law, you just stay aside."

Cough Cough Cough.

Someone was scolded by his own mother and could only sheepishly touch his nose and quietly stand aside.

Lu Jing stole several glances, feeling pity for her man, so she didn’t chat with Jiang’s mother for too long.

"Aunt Su, we’ll be going now."

"Eh, okay, call if you need anything!"

"Mm-hmm."

It wasn’t until they left the Jiang family’s old house that Jiang Ye couldn’t help but interrupt the two again:

"Enough already, if you really can’t bear to part, Mom, why not fly back with us?"

Jiang’s mother also wanted to, but she just couldn’t leave everything behind.

Work at the company, things at home, and the old man had just fallen ill again, when would she have the leisure?

"Alright, alright, I won’t keep you, go ahead, go ahead."

The driver had been waiting for a long time, and after they got in the car, he started it slowly and drove away.

Jiang’s mother was reluctant to let go, but there was nothing she could do but watch.

Inside the car, Lu Jing and Jiang Ye were looking at each other.

"My mom treats you better than she treats me!"

Haha.

"Doesn’t my mom treat you better than she treats me too?"

Mothers-in-law favoring daughters-in-law, and vice versa, it’s quite normal.

Jiang Ye curled his lips:

"No worries, they might like you a lot, but not as much as I do!"

On this point, Jiang Ye was quite confident.

Hearing this, Lu Jing’s face uncontrollably blushed:

"What are you saying in broad daylight?"

Embarrassed, aren’t you?

If someone knew shame, that would be weird.

His skin, after all, was thicker than a city wall.

"Do you want to rest for a while? We have some time till we reach the airport."

Lu Jing shook his head:

"No, I can’t sleep in the car anyway, I’ll sleep on the plane later."
