2803 Effort Wasted

Mr. Jiang's eyes were sore.

He could not bear to watch Jiang Yujie suffer by dealing with Lu Qiyuan.

Mr. Jiang sighed silently. Jiang Yujie picked up the call in front of Mr. Jiang so that he could have peace of mind.

"Hello, Qiyuan." Jiang Yujie's voice gave the impression that nothing was wrong.

Her tone was the usual gentle and happy tone she used while with Lu Qiyuan.

Naturally, Lu Qiyuan did not suspect anything and asked, "Yujie, why are you not at home? It's late and I didn't find you there. My sister-in-law said that you've not been home the entire day."

Jiang Yujie did not panic and said gently, "I went to my parents' house. You know that because of what happened with you last time, I argued with my parents. A long time after that, I haven't gone back.

"I know that they are angry, but they're still parents, so I couldn't just not go home my whole life and break off our relationship. Actually, I have been trying my best to gain their forgiveness. Actually… actually, I didn't tell you that I have never given up on contacting my parents and trying to make them understand me. However, the results were never good, so I kept it to myself."

Lu Qiyuan heard this and felt sorry for her. "Dummy. Why didn't you tell me? Why must you bear everything by yourself?"

"I just didn't want you to be in a bad mood with me and feel stressed," said Jiang Yujie softly.

"You should tell me so I can help you bear the weight," said Lu Qiyuan.

Jiang Yujie sighed as she said, "I know that you're already swamped with work usually, so I don't want you to worry about this. I just think that although you're so good, the reason my parents are not willing to accept you is because of their prejudices, so I just want them to understand you more."

Lu Qiyuan said immediately, "Then I will go to your house now! It's obviously more convenient to understand me in person."

Jiang Yujie said without hurry, "Don't. If they see you, my parents will only… only get angrier. How can they see the good in you peacefully then?

"That's why I thought of calling them from time to time, visiting them, and mentioning you in front of them. Little by little, they won't reject you as much, and they can also discover subconsciously that you're actually very nice."

Jiang Yujie chuckled with a surprised tone. "You don't know, but my effort is not wasted. After such a long time, every time I had the chance, I would mention you in front of my parents and talk about how good you are. It seems like they are starting to loosen up about you.

"Besides, now that you're divorced, I… I am not a mistress anymore, right?" asked Jiang Yujie.

"No, of course you're not. You were never a mistress!" said Lu Qiyuan hurriedly.

Jiang Yujie's mouth curved upwards. She sneered as she said, "When I came home today, although my parents still can't accept it, at least they don't kick me away anymore. I will try harder and definitely gain their understanding."

Lu Qiyuan felt sorry and said, "Yujie, I feel sorry for you."

"I am not wronged," said Jiang Yujie. "So don't come today. I'm afraid that if they see you, the effort that I have been putting in for so long will be wasted."

"Okay," answered Lu Qiyuan. Now, whatever Jiang Yujie said, as long as it was not an unreasonable request, Lu Qiyuan was willing to agree to it.

"Then do you want me to pick you up tomorrow morning?" asked Lu Qiyuan.

"Nope, I drove," said Jiang Yujie.
