Chapter 387 It Turns Out to Be a Boomerang

Yao Shula put down the phone and remained in a daze for a long time.

This Lei Jingwu...

Thinking about what Lei Jingwu's mother had said on the phone, Yao Shuli felt a little helpless for the first time. How could this be? What had Lei Jingwu done behind her back?

What to do? She felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time, and also a little touched. She even felt a little eager to see Lei Jingwu!

Yao Shula finished her work in the clothing store in such a daze that she forgot to give discounts to the customers who bought clothes.

It wasn't until Lei Jingwu returned that Yao Shula grabbed him and dragged him back to her own home.

...

Lei Jingwu looked at Yao Shula nervously. Yao Shula hadn't said a word since he entered the room, but she just pointed to the sofa and told him to sit down. Then she stood opposite him and looked at him.

What happened? Did I do something wrong?

That's impossible! What could I possibly have done wrong? I'm not some naive young man in my early twenties who could make all sorts of mistakes.

I'm quite composed now, aren't I?

Or perhaps Xiao Tiantian saw him talking to some other woman? Then Xiao Tiantian went to Yao Shula and exaggerated the story, even saying that he would definitely make Yao Shula break up with him?

That's impossible!

All of his business partners are men now, and even if there are women, he leaves the task of contacting them to Gu Changqin.

Lei Jingwu is very self-aware; he must uphold male virtues now, otherwise reality will teach him a lesson in no time.

Could it be that...

"My mom called you?" Lei Jingwu immediately realized this.

Yao Shula raised an eyebrow. Not bad, quite clever. She's got her own brain working, she figured out the key point right away.

After pouring Lei Jingwu a glass of water, Yao Shula sat down opposite him again.

Just as Lei Jingwu was about to get up and sit down next to Yao Shula, Yao Shula kicked him.

"Sit there! I have something to tell you!"

Lei Jingwu had no choice but to sit back down in his original spot. Oh no, this was no small matter. After he started dating Yao Shula, Lei Jingwu had gradually gotten closer to her.

He used to only be able to sit opposite Yao Shula, but thanks to Lei Jingwu's tireless efforts, he was now able to sit next to her, and even put his arm around her shoulder and hold her hand...

Of course, this can only be done when Xiao Tiantian is not around. If Xiao Tiantian is around, the position next to Yao Shula can only be Xiao Tiantian's.

Now……

Xiao Tiantian isn't here, so I can't sit next to Yao Shula anymore.

"Shura, what's wrong? You... I'm getting a little scared!" Lei Jingwu quickly said with a smile.

Yao Shula chuckled, stared at Lei Jingwu for a while, and finally spoke.

"Did you tell your mother you only like men?"

Lei Jingwu...

"Yes! I said it! Wasn't it because the situation was urgent? If I didn't say it, she would keep bringing girls home. I was just trying to prevent future troubles."

Look, now my mom not only doesn't bring girls home anymore, she even has to be careful when she talks to me.

"Shura, I know lying is wrong, but... I had no choice. I guess it's a white lie!" Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what it was about!

It's nothing, Yao Shula will definitely understand!

Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief, but Yao Shula couldn't.

“Lei Jingwu, your mother called me and told me about your situation. She immediately apologized to me, saying she was sorry and that she had used me as a testing ground.”

She also told me that I must forgive her. Your mother told me that even if I don't like you, and I find you extremely annoying or disgusting, I should still give you some face.

Let me not hurt your pride!

"Lei Jingwu, what do you think I should do?" Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu with a smile.

Lei Jingwu...

Mom called Shura to apologize? I never imagined Mom would go to such lengths for me!

Is this still the same aloof and high-class Shanghai socialite?

That's right, Mom's potential is limitless!

"So what did you say? Did you agree without hesitation?" Lei Jingwu quickly asked.

Yao Shula got up and walked to Lei Jingwu, looking down at Lei Jingwu who was looking up at her.

"I said...you're great! You definitely won't let her down!"

Lei Jingwu, I've discovered that you're a very meticulous person. You plan every step of everything, and you can include everyone in your plans.

You're making everyone follow the path you've set.

I have to admit, if you put your heart into it, no one can escape your plan.

Sometimes, I even find you a little scary! Yao Shula suddenly reached out and pinched Lei Jingwu's ears.

Lei Jingwu, whose ear was being pinched by Yao Shula, quickly sat up straight.

"Shura, I admit that I sometimes arrange things to achieve my goals, but I want to say that you are the only one who can make me put in this much effort."

From childhood to adulthood, I've only ever put my heart into things related to you and Tiantian.

But similarly, Yao Shula, I also find you a bit scary. In my eyes, you are frighteningly calm.

No matter what happens, you can look at it from an outsider's perspective and analyze it from beginning to end.

Especially when we were in Yun County that year, Changqin said he had his eye on a girl, and those things you said.

I knew then that if I followed the conventional methods, I would only drift further and further away from you.

That's why... I arranged those things.

As for my mother, I only said those things to her because I didn't want you to have to face those things in the future.

"Shura, do you... think I'm too scheming?!" Lei Jingwu suddenly became a little nervous.

Yao Shula stared intently at Lei Jingwu, then suddenly pinched Lei Jingwu's earlobes hard with both hands.

"Lei Jingwu, thank you. I'm so glad you're willing to put so much thought into this for me."

Actually, I can think of it this way: if you don't want to be with me anymore someday, you'll probably hesitate a bit, after all, you've put so much effort into it!

No matter what the final result is, I'm quite happy.

At least you're one of the few people besides my family who's willing to put in the effort for me!

"Lei Jingwu, I don't blame you! Really! I'm actually quite happy!" Yao Shula's eyes were very serious.

Looking into Yao Shula's eyes, Lei Jingwu realized for the first time why his mother always said Yao Shula's eyes were beautiful.

Truly, Yao Shula's eyes are like stars; you can see her emotions through them, deep within her eyes...

Lei Jingwu suddenly grabbed Yao Shula's hands and held them in his own.

"Shura, you actually like me too, don't you?" Lei Jingwu asked.
