80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 144: Let Me Take Care of You

"How is it? Is Xiaoting doing okay?" Lu Jianguo asked quietly as he saw Lu Hao return.

Lu Hao nodded, "Hmm, she’s doing fine, and their relationship seems pretty good too."

Lu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoting must have thought it through, so that man shouldn’t cause her any trouble as long as she’s living well.

Song Jiajia was sunbathing nearby, and when she heard their conversation, a cold smile surfaced in her heart.

After a while, Lu Hao suddenly walked toward Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia closed her eyes to rest, pretending not to see him.

Lu Hao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Jiajia, do you want to go see Sang Yu?"

Song Jiajia slowly opened her eyes, her gaze emotionless as she stared directly at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao felt a bit guilty under Song Jiajia’s gaze and hastily explained, "Last time we met Sang Yu at the hospital, didn’t we? She might be pregnant, and Jiang Jingming doesn’t have time to take care of her. I think we could help look after her together. Also, I feel that you stay at home all day without anyone to talk to, which isn’t good, so I thought, why not visit Sang Yu together? After all, you are cousins and should look out for each other. What do you think?"

Song Jiajia truly admired Lu Hao’s fake demeanor; coming up with such a reason must have strained him.

However, why wouldn’t she want to help him?

After all, whether she could make Sang Yu end up like her depends heavily on Lu Hao.

"Sure, of course." Song Jiajia said with a smile.

After she spoke, Lu Hao visibly brightened up.

"I knew you were the kindest, Jiajia. Let’s go now."

Lu Hao, are you that eager?

Are you so eager to get Sang Yu?

I’ll make it happen, for both of you.

"Certainly."

Song Jiajia played along effortlessly.

Lu Hao originally thought Song Jiajia might argue with him, but he didn’t expect her to agree so easily.

Maybe it’s because he’s been performing well lately, or perhaps due to the baby, she’s become more understanding.

Lu Hao indeed couldn’t wait any longer.

He tidied up and left the house with Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia looked at Lu Hao’s outfit; it’s no different from how he was dressed when he came to fetch her on their wedding day.

Truly a peacock showing off its feathers.

Song Jiajia brought Lu Hao to Sang Yu’s doorstep.

Looking at the house in front of them, both Song Jiajia and Lu Hao had different thoughts.

This was supposed to be hers. In the previous life, even though Jiang Jingming had sacrificed himself,

she still lived well in such a good house.

But now, in this life, she’s stuck with a loser like Lu Hao.

Since she can’t have it, then Sang Yu shouldn’t take it either.

Lu Hao looked at the building in front of him and suddenly felt insecure, but he thought, if he could get a job like Jiang Jingming’s, he could definitely afford such a place too.

He secretly vowed to himself that if he could marry Sang Yu someday, he would find a job and work hard for it.

He wanted to live in a building like this too.

"Who are you?" Jiang Ning came to the door carrying bags of things.

She saw Lu Hao and Song Jiajia standing there.

Lu Hao’s eyes showed a flash of amazement when he saw Jiang Ning.

If Sang Yu looked beautiful like a delicate rose,

then Jiang Ning was a pure white jasmine, no, even more vibrant than a jasmine.

Song Jiajia noticed Lu Hao’s odd expression and was filled with contempt.

But Song Jiajia was also puzzled about who the girl in front of her was; she hadn’t encountered this girl in her previous life.

Jiang Ning was not unaccustomed to such looks from men and paid it no mind.

"Who exactly are you?" Jiang Ning was quite sure they weren’t her relatives, nor were they her uncle’s relatives either.

She knew all her relatives, distant ones too.

She had never seen these two before.

Lu Hao was a little moved by Jiang Ning’s sweet voice and quickly explained, "Hello, we’re friends of Sang Yu. We came to see her. This is Sang Yu’s cousin."

Lu Hao hid a bit of his own motive here, not introducing his identity.

Perhaps because she was pregnant, Song Jiajia didn’t radiate such a sharp aura anymore.

She seemed a bit more gentle.

Thus, Jiang Ning instinctively believed them.

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Ning smiled.

"I’m also here to find my aunt. Did you knock?" Jiang Ning asked.

Lu Hao was a bit stunned by Jiang Ning’s smile and shook his head.

Jiang Ning said, "Then hurry and knock, it’s quite cold outside."

Since she wore so much, Jiang Ning hadn’t noticed that Song Jiajia was pregnant.

Lu Hao nodded, "Okay, okay."

Then he turned and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside.

"Please come in..." Sang Yu’s words stopped abruptly when she saw Lu Hao and Song Jiajia.

She thought it was Jiang Ning.

Because Jiang Ning had called Sang Yu before coming.

"Aunt, I’m here." Jiang Ning called out from behind Lu Hao and Song Jiajia.

Sang Yu’s gaze passed through Lu Hao and Song Jiajia and landed on Jiang Ning, "Come in quickly, it’s cold outside."

Jiang Ning nodded, "Alright."

Then she looked curiously at Lu Hao and Song Jiajia, "Aren’t you coming in?"

Sang Yu pulled Jiang Ning inside, her gaze cold as she looked at Lu Hao and Song Jiajia, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Hao stared at Sang Yu in infatuation and explained, "Sang Yu, listen to us. We came to see you because we want to take care of you. Since you’re pregnant, and your cousin is at home without anyone to talk to, I thought it’d be better for us to take care of you together."

Sang Yu sneered, "Can you really be so kind-hearted?" Her gaze shifted from Lu Hao to Song Jiajia.

It was like she was questioning both Lu Hao and Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia looked at the thick blanket on Sang Yu and knew what kind of life she was living at home.

She said nothing, waiting to see what Lu Hao would do.

Jiang Ning was a bit confused but realized the situation wasn’t as simple as she initially thought, so she wisely chose not to ask further questions.

She thought she’d ask more about it later.

"Sang Yu, we truly want to take care of you. You’re at home alone, and if something happens, there’s no one to help you."

Sang Yu scoffed, "I see you didn’t take very good care of Song Jiajia either. Besides, if I need help, Jiang Jingming will hire someone for me, I don’t need you. Now, you can leave, and do not come again, or I won’t be so polite next time."

With that, Sang Yu unceremoniously closed the door.
