Chapter 88 - 88 Double Standards
88 Double Standards
Su Ran bit her lip and nodded.
She caught the meaning behind Lin Lu’s words. It was a backhanded insult.
She was implying that she had no manners and was trying her best to cut ties with her.
However, she could not let go of Lin Su. She simply could not.
“Sis, don’t say that about Su Ran. She’s the one I love. She won’t do anything to us, even if she stays in our house,” Lin Su said.
“Child, her purity is not yours to comment on. You have no power over it. If she stays in our house, can you prevent bad rumors from spreading?” Lin Lu said with a smile.
Lin Lu’s smile was like a sharp knife, stabbing into Su Ran’s heart.
“Alright, sister. I’ll be careful. Su Ran looks like she’s close to tears.”
Lin Su’s heart ached as he held Su Ran in his arms. He must marry this woman.
The group arrived at the Lin Family’s house. The Lin Family’s servants had already helped to prepare all the food.
Luo Ying glanced at the dishes. There were a lot of coriander and a lot of spicy dishes.
The original Luo Ying had loved all of this in the original novel. Su Ran did not eat coriander or spicy food at all. The moment she touched such food, she would break out in rashes all over her body and suffer from stomach aches.
As expected, Su Ran frowned when she saw the food on the table.
Lin Lu looked at Su Ran’s expression and rolled her eyes. What a rude child.
A girl with such an upbringing wanted to enter their family?
“Luo Ying, come and eat. I know you like this, so I asked them to make it. It’s your favorite boiled beef and duck blood curd.”
Luo Ying nodded and ate quietly.
“Why haven’t you guys divorced yet? I don’t want to criticize you, but a girl’s youth is short, so you should think about it carefully.”
Luo Ying shook her head. “I’ve grown very close to Lu Zhao now. Thank you for your concern. I’ll bring Lu Zhao to have dinner with you later.”
Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, but she still smiled and said, “That’s fine, that’s fine. As long as you’re happy, I’ll be at ease.”
Lin Lu had always been concerned about Luo Ying.
Luo Ying could not understand it. After all, the original novel never expanded on this matter.
Su Ran felt a little awkward at the dining table. There was nothing to eat, so she could only lower her head and eat her rice.
Lin Su’s heart ached for Su Ran, so he rinsed the spicy vegetables in the tea before giving it to Su Ran.
“Thank you,” Su Ran said, biting her lip.
Lin Lu laughed. “Ah, such a picky eater. I’m really sorry, but our children aren’t that picky. Besides, we didn’t know you would be coming, so we didn’t prepare anything for you. But our housekeeper’s cooking is very good. Do you want to try it?”
Lin Lu even used the serving chopsticks to give Su Ran some boiled beef after she finished speaking.
Fiery red chili rings had been sprinkled on the beef. Even Luo Ying found them very spicy. At that moment, she felt a little sorry for Su Ran.
She clearly couldn’t eat spicy food, but she still had to swallow her pride for this man. What was it for? Was it worth it?
Luo Ying looked at Su Ran and said, “Sister Lin Lu, didn’t you say that you’ve prepared some white fungus soup? I kind of want to eat it now. Can you bring me to the kitchen to get it?”
Lin Lu’s eyes flickered. “Luo Ying, you’re so sensible. Sometimes I think that it would be great if Lin Su was as sensible and smart. Just you wait, I’ll get it for you.”
Lin Lu turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Su Ran heaved a sigh of relief. She rinsed the beef in the tea and put it into her mouth. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Lin Su glared at Luo Ying. Luo Ying was too scary. She had bought his family over to his side and forced him to submit.
It was really too detestable.
Lin Lu brought the soup up.
She placed the cup in her hand in front of Luo Ying. “Here, I knew you were coming, so I made this especially for you.”
Luo Ying nodded, lowered her head, and began to drink the white fungus soup. She didn’t want to say it, but their cooks were rather skilled, and the White fungus soup was very sweet.
Lin Lu watched as Luo Ying drank the white fungus soup, mouthful by mouthful, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
“After you finish your meal and send Ms. Su home, hurry up and come back home. Lin Su, I still want to have a chat with you and Yingying later.”
Su Ran was extremely embarrassed. Her eyes wavered as she looked at Lin Su pitifully.
“Sister, don’t be like this. You can also let Su Ran stay and have a chat,” Lin Su said as he hugged Su Ran, feeling sorry for her.
“It’s fine. I’m sorry for disturbing you. I’ll leave now.” Su Ran picked up her bag, stood up, and was about to leave.
