Rebirth in the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Side Character

Chapter 31: The Approval is Taking Too Long

◎ Almost Lost His Wife ◎

Actually, Lu Jinzhou had been at the cinema for quite some time after receiving the news. He even went inside to look for her.

And then he saw the person he was frantically searching for sitting with Chen Yuanjiang.

At that moment, Lu Jinzhou was nearly drowned in a wave of jealousy.

But seeing Dong Jiaojiao staring at the movie screen with such interest, he decided not to disturb her and quietly stepped back outside.

For as long as the movie played, he stood outside the cinema smoking.

🚭

Lu Jinzhou didn't usually smoke unless he encountered particularly frustrating academic problems. Then, he would occasionally have a cigarette to relieve stress.

But now, without realizing it, he had finished an entire pack.

During this more than an hour of waiting, Lu Jinzhou thought about a lot of things and reflected on what he might have said wrong to upset Dong Jiaojiao and make her run away.

After pondering for a while, he could only think of one reason: Lu Yao.

Damn it, Lu Jinzhou couldn't help but curse.

Damn Lu Yao! How many times was she going to mess things up for him?

When he first met Dong Jiaojiao, she had a deep prejudice against him because of Lu Yao.

Now, because of Lu Yao again, he almost lost his soon-to-be wife.

Lu Jinzhou decided he must have a serious talk with Lu Kangping to find out how he raised his daughter.

If he ended up not marrying his wife because of Lu Yao, he'd have to make sure Lu Kangping also knew what it felt like to be without a wife and daughter!

Du Juan, Lu Kangping's wife: ... What does this have to do with me? Also, you got the term wrong; it should be "childless," not "wifeless."

Lu Ming: ... Mom, maybe you should think again about what you're saying! (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )

Seeing the anger on Dong Jiaojiao's face, Lu Jinzhou wisely chose to adopt a soft approach.

He looked at her pitifully, his posture humble: "Jiaojiao, I'm a very traditional man. You've done something like this to me, so you have to take responsibility."

Dong Jiaojiao: ...

This statement made her sound like a heartless woman who wouldn't acknowledge her actions after getting what she wanted.

But... it did seem that way; she really didn't want to take responsibility.

This puts her in a difficult spot.

Seeing Dong Jiaojiao not speaking, Lu Jinzhou cautiously suggested, "Jiaojiao, it's getting late. How about we go home first and discuss everything else slowly?"

"Is there still room for discussion?" Dong Jiaojiao looked at Lu Jinzhou in surprise.

"Of course!" Like discussing how many tables to book for the wedding banquet, for instance.
