Chapter 522: 485 Lin Jiaojiao’s Background (1 more)

There were a lot of them, and even more people going up the mountain to burn incense. Everyone had a different pace, and some were deliberately slowing down, making it naturally impossible to keep in sync.

Still, Lu Zhu had arranged in the group chat that after offering incense, they would wait at the entrance of the cable car.

No need to climb on the way down if they didn’t climb on the way up.

Anyway, going through the motions and seeking lively excitement was their purpose for making the trip up the mountain.

But, of course, they were supposed to give enough money for the incense they burned.

No matter what, Lu Zhu had received her orders. No other wish was allowed; she just had to pray for Lu Han and Tang Su’s wedding to go smoothly and be filled with happiness.

That was quite a big wish, and in terms of repaying it, that task would fall to the children of Lu Han and Tang Su.

They would have to wait until their whole life was filled with happiness and bliss before they could consider it fulfilled.

Bai Simen was deliberately avoiding Bai Dingkai, and Chen Duoduo was also intentionally dodging Bai Dingyang. The two girls followed Su Yu’s pace and walked briskly.

Su Yu almost couldn’t keep up with them. Luckily, he was nimble enough not to lose track.

While Bai Dingkai got lost, Bai Dingyang kept following right behind the trio.

Sun Qing ignored Bai Dingxian. With Tang Su and Lu Han protecting her, Bai Dingxian naturally didn’t dare to confront Sun Qing.

Tang Su and Sun Qing walked ahead, while Lu Han and Wu Jie followed behind, protecting them.

"Qing, I think, why don’t you just make do with Wu Jie?" Tang Su whispered to Sun Qing.

She saw that Lu Han and Wu Jie were getting along quite well tonight. If Sun Qing could spark something with Wu Jie, they could often arrange to hang out together, have coffee, and taste teas.

The most important thing was that Wu Jie made excellent coffee, so once she retired and didn’t run the shop anymore, she wouldn’t have to worry about not having coffee to drink.

"What, having Doctor Lu isn’t enough for you? You still want me to cover for you with Wu Jie so you can play out a desiring-another romance if you get bored in the future?"

"Get lost. I’m not afraid to swear in front of Buddha today. If I ever become unfaithful to our Lu Han, let me be struck by lightning." Tang Su raised her hand and swore earnestly.

Not many dare to make such oaths in front of Buddha. She dared, which only meant she was truly sincere about Lu Han. At any time, no one could make her harbor any second thoughts about him.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Can’t you tell? Anyway, through thick and thin, you and your Doctor Lu won’t have any issues."

Sun Qing was really at her wit’s end with her. It was just a joke, why swear so earnestly?

Moreover, at a sacred Buddhist site, should you be swearing so easily?

Lu Han didn’t know what he was discussing with Wu Jie in the back, but the two of them were chatting happily, completely unaware of what Tang Su and Sun Qing were discussing.

At midnight, the four of them knelt in front of Buddha and burned the first incense stick of the New Year.

The first wish Tang Su made was for Lu Han to be safe, healthy, and to live a long life.

Lu Han’s wish was for Tang Su to be extremely joyful and peaceful, with a long and blessed life.

Similar wishes, all for each other.

Then they prayed for blessings for their families and finally, for everyone around them.

Having made their wishes, Lin Jiaojiao and Lu Zhu sat down somewhere to chat and wait for their men to finish setting off the firecrackers and return.

"Since you’re back this time, why not just stay here? You’re the recognized daughter-in-law of the Tan Family, Elder Tan’s chosen woman for the Tan Family. Why should you let that impostor swagger around so ostentatiously?"

"Xiaozhu, I am just the woman Elder Tan is committed to, not their Tan Family’s daughter-in-law. From the beginning, it was said that Tan Family’s daughter-in-law could only be one person."

"If that’s the case, let her be the Tan Family’s daughter-in-law. Having Elder Tan is enough for me."

The reason she didn’t follow the main group back to Beijing last time was that she still had some issues she hadn’t figured out. This time, being able to return with them meant that she had thought clearly about some matters.

All she and that woman needed to do was take what they each wanted.

If she wants the position of the Tan Family’s second daughter-in-law, she naturally couldn’t have Elder Tan as a man. As for herself, all she wanted was Elder Tan, and as for status, it really wasn’t that important.

Besides, Elder Tan had given her legal status.

That woman, disregarding Elder Tan, proclaimed to the world that she was the only daughter-in-law of the Tan Family. Elder Tan had given her not just a marriage certificate, recognition under the law, but also a man’s love.

Having these was enough for her.

Everyone says marriage is about two families coming together, but she and Elder Tan became the two exceptions in Beijing, causing such an earth-shattering scandal.

She was also doing okay; after all, she was a child picked up halfway by the Lin Family. If she behaved rebelliously and unorthodoxly, her biological parents could push the blame onto her deceased adoptive parents.

Claiming she wasn’t raised well.

"That’s true, but I always feel that everything is in favor of that woman, and it’s not fair to you," Lu Zhu said, not one to meddle in others’ family affairs, but Lin Jiaojiao’s situation was too absurd to ignore.

Even a scriptwriter wouldn’t dare to craft such a storyline.

Both were purported heiresses; her mother was also the Bai Family’s true heiress, yet Aunt Mingzhu, the imposter heiress, was very grateful and never coveted what didn’t belong to her.

But that false heiress of the Lin Family not only coveted the family wealth but also Lin Jiaojiao’s man.

Unable to have the man, she did everything possible to demand the status given by the Tan Family, occupying the position that should belong to Lin Jiaojiao, and refused to relinquish it.

They even colluded with Lin Jiaojiao’s relatives to drive her out of Beijing.

If it had been her, she would have found it unbearable.

Feigning frailty to avoid anger, fearing a sudden heart attack—was that an excuse?

It’s a bullshit excuse, more like it.

"Thank you, Xiaozhu, but really, there’s no need to feel sorry for me. These past few years, without the restraint of elders, I’ve done whatever I wanted in our own little world. Besides, the elders haven’t needed me to serve at their bedside. My days have been so comfortable and easy."

"I’ve been very carefree."

"I can see that. Elder Tan really dotes on you. Being together for so many years, and he still listens to you like that. For such a man, it’s worth bearing some grievances," Lu Zhu smiled.

"Isn’t that the truth? For every bit of grievance that others give me, he makes up for it with tenfold happiness. I’m willing to do anything for such a man," Lin Jiaojiao truly felt happy.

Though the couple did argue, but as husband and wife, they were the very image of making up before the end of the day after a fight.

They rarely stayed angry overnight, unless Elder Tan really enraged her, like the last time.

"If Lin Menmen finds out Elder Tan has brought you back to Beijing, she is probably going to be restless."

"I can’t worry about all that now."

"Of course not. It’s the first day of the month today, why don’t you stay at our place for a couple of days?"

"Wouldn’t that be troublesome?"

"How could it be troublesome?"

"Then, okay," Lin Jiaojiao agreed.
