Chapter 986: Chapter 980 He is a Good Man

Shen Manjun was stunned, completely taken aback, and looked at her daughter in disbelief. This was Qiaoqiao’s first time speaking to her in this tone. Even during their argument yesterday, Qiaoqiao was simply sulking and ignoring her, but today, she clearly saw a hint of hatred towards her in Qiaoqiao’s eyes.

Her daughter had a trace of hatred towards her, which made Shen Manjun’s heart tremble. Her originally angry mood unexpectedly calmed down at this moment. Could she have been wrong and really misunderstood Lu Tianxing?

Thinking back to the incidents with Lu Tianxing, Shen Manjun couldn’t help but question herself. All her impressions of Lu Tianxing began in Modu. Back then, Lu Tianxing teased her, making her think he was a scumbag. Then the incident in the changing room in Xiangjiang further confirmed to her that Lu Tianxing was indeed a scumbag. Although her investigation afterward proved Lu Tianxing wasn’t lying and was forced to enter her changing room, it still didn’t change the fact that Lu Tianxing had taken advantage of her.

”Did I really misunderstand him?”

Shen Manjun whispered to herself, recalling the events at the Wealth Mansion. If Lu Tianxing were really a lecherous scumbag, would he have risked his life against the Crying Face Envoy for Bai Zhiqing? Would he have gone all out to protect his wife?

Thinking of this, Shen Manjun took a deep breath and softly said, ”Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry, I was too reckless. I...”

”Mom, you don’t need to apologize to me, and you haven’t wronged me. The person you need to apologize to is Uncle. If Uncle forgives you, then I will forgive you.”

Qiaoqiao turned her head, looked at Shen Manjun, and said, ”Also, my running away from home has nothing to do with Uncle. He even advised me to go home and apologize to you. I insisted on taking him to the amusement park, which is why we encountered danger. If it weren’t for Uncle, I’d have been dead already. I know you love me and want to protect me, but can you understand the truth of the matter before you fly into a rage every time? Don’t wrong innocent people easily. Uncle isn’t the scumbag you say he is; he’s a good person.”

”Qiaoqiao, as long as you can forgive Mom, Mom will drop everything. I’ll call Lu Tianxing to apologize right now.”

While speaking, Shen Manjun immediately picked up the phone from her handbag, ready to dial.

”Mom, forget it. You wronged Uncle for no reason and cursed him terribly. Uncle might still be angry, and calling him now might backfire. Why don’t you wait until Uncle cools off and then treat him to a meal to apologize?” Qiaoqiao interrupted Shen Manjun, sighed, and said.

Shen Manjun thought for a moment, then nodded, ”Alright then! I’ll listen to you. But, Qiaoqiao, I must say to you: you’re a girl, don’t act crazy like a boy. You must be reserved, you know? Otherwise, you won’t be able to get married in the future.”

”I don’t want that! Uncle is my future dad. What’s wrong with being close to my own dad?”

Qiaoqiao wrinkled her little nose, her gaze landing on Shen Manjun, her eyes rolling playfully, giving an impression of mischievousness.

”Mom, do you really have no feelings for Uncle? Uncle is so amazing, you know. At Dream Forest, when I was in danger and surrounded by venomous snakes, it was terrifying. Uncle stomped his foot, and all the snakes died. He’s even more formidable than Grandpa Shou. Mom, since you’re thinking of men anyway, why not give Uncle a chance? I think Uncle is really nice and doesn’t look at you with a lewd gaze, as if he wants to devour you.”

”You cheeky girl! What do you mean I’m thinking of men? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll keep you locked up at home and not let you out.”

A blush passed over Shen Manjun’s face as she tapped Qiaoqiao’s little head with her finger.

”Mom, just admit it! Do you know why I argued with you yesterday? Because one night when I snuck out, I saw you sitting alone on the sofa, sometimes blushing, sometimes gritting your teeth, saying that this guy took advantage of you, and you won’t let him off.”

Qiaoqiao murmured, saying softly, ”Mom, isn’t this person you’re talking about Uncle? I feel like it is. The first time when Uncle met you, he made you grit your teeth, didn’t he? But I must admit, Mom, you have good taste. Uncle is really nice, so you should seize the opportunity. Good men aren’t easy to find.”

Qiaoqiao nodded with a smug expression, looking like a self-proclaimed love expert.

”You little brat, who taught you to say so much?”

Shen Manjun pinched Qiaoqiao’s cheek, but a blush involuntarily swept across her face. She never expected the soft murmurings of herself one evening to be discovered by Qiaoqiao, no wonder Qiaoqiao had been ignoring her for the past few days; she thought Qiaoqiao was just tired from studying!

But Qiaoqiao was indeed correct; the person she was mumbling about that night was Lu Tianxing. After all, a man who can shield a woman like that can win any woman’s heart, let alone Lu Tianxing who had seen her body and even touched every inch of it. She is a woman, so pretending not to be moved would be a lie.

As for Lu Tianxing being married, it wasn’t really important. As someone from a prominent family, she had seen many men with multiple wives, so it wasn’t unusual for her. What she sought was a man who, when she is tired, weary, and fatigued, can offer her a shoulder to lean on and quietly listen to her words, rather than just a husband.

At that moment, Qiaoqiao suddenly exclaimed as if Columbus had discovered a new continent: ”Wow! Mom, you’re blushing! You actually blushed; it’s the first time I’ve ever seen you blush. Come on, admit it, do you have feelings for Uncle?”

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao’s exclamation, Shen Manjun came back to her senses and quickly said, ”Qiaoqiao, don’t talk nonsense. I’m just sunburned.”

”Sunburn? But the sun isn’t that strong. Mom, you like Uncle!” Qiaoqiao suddenly clapped her hands, saying heavily.

”No.”

”Are you lying to me?”

”No.”

”Hmph, Mom, why not chase Uncle?”

”You brat, keep talking nonsense, and I’ll spank you.”

”Ah, the tigress is angry from embarrassment.”

”How dare you call me a tigress, Qiaoqiao, you’re getting bolder. Looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson today.”

”Ah, don’t hit me. If you hit me, I’ll tell Uncle to teach you a lesson, spank you and get revenge for me.”

”You dare...?”
