Chapter 104: Our Lu Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Half a year ago, Lu Qingye went overseas to participate in a business event and met a foreign jewelry designer. Later, that person specially designed this unique pair of rings for him.
At that time, he had never thought about marriage, so when he received this pair of rings, he did not take it too seriously. He did not expect that not long after, he would become a married person…
After looking at the photo, he replied to Lu Qianling: [Have you found the house?]
Lu Qingye waited for a few minutes and did not see Lu Qianling’s reply, so he stopped looking at the chat.
That day, Meng Chuyuan chatted with him for a while and said that she would bring Lu Qianling to see the houses when she was free. That should be today.
Thinking that Lu Qianling would probably move out in the next few days, Lu Qingye instructed the housekeeper to arrange for a few spies nearby to ensure her safety when she moved over.
Lu Qianling was very satisfied with this meal. She had been eating in the school cafeteria for the past few days, so everything she ate now felt delicious.
“This curry steak is delicious. Try it.”
After Lu Qianling ate two pieces, she took the initiative to pick up a piece for
Meng Chuyuan.
“Thank you.”
Meng Chuyuan took a bite and felt that the steak was a little dry and old, which affected the taste very much.
“Is it delicious? Do you want another piece?” Lu Qianling looked at her expectantly when she saw that she had finished a piece.
Just as Lu Qianling reached out her chopsticks to pick up another piece for her, Meng Chuyuan waved her hand, indicating for her not to pick it up.
Meng Chuyuan felt that the dishes were mediocre. She did not know why the restaurant was so popular.
Seeing that she was almost done eating, Meng Chuyuan took the bag behind her and stood up. She looked at Lu Qianling and said, “I’m going to the washroom first.”
Lu Qianling took a sip of coke and put the cup down before she said, “Go ahead.”
Meng Chuyuan left for a short while. When she returned, she unexpectedly bumped into Qi Yan.
She was also eating in this restaurant. There was a man sitting opposite her. He looked about the same age as Qi Yan and the two of them were getting along quite well.
Initially, the two of them were chatting and laughing happily. However, after Qi Yan discovered Meng Chuyuan, the smile in her eyes instantly disappeared.
Just now, Meng Chuyuan walked around the other table but she saw a waiter serving the dishes, so she walked towards this direction.
She did not expect to meet Qi Yan here.
Originally, Meng Chuyuan and Qi Yan could have simply parted ways there, but because of the change in Qi Yan’s expression, the man opposite her was curious and turned around to take a look.
The moment the man saw Meng Chuyuan, he almost stood up in surprise. He covered his mouth and said in surprise, “Sister Meng?”
The corners of Meng Chuyuan’s mouth twitched slightly, and she gave him a polite smile.
Qi Yan chuckled and said sarcastically, “What a coincidence.”
“What a coincidence, Sister Qi Yan. You’re eating here too.”
Meng Chuyuan did not like to disturb others. If she had not been recognized, she might have just walked right past them.
Due to the fact that there were others present and Qi Yan had taken the initiative to talk to her, she felt that it would be rude if she turned a deaf ear.
“I own this shop,” the man sitting opposite Qi Yan took the initiative to explain.
He had been watching the live-stream recently and knew that Meng Chuyuan was quite good at cooking. He believed that she had a certain understanding of food.
Now that he saw Meng Chuyuan personally visit his shop, the boss was overjoyed.
Meng Chuyuan replied without changing her expression, “Oh, so you’re the boss.”
“Yes, I am.” The boss was quite happy. He even stood up to speak to Meng
Chuyuan. “How are the dishes in our restaurant? Are you used to them?”
At the mention of this, Meng Chuyuan thought of the Beef Spare Ribs she had just eaten. She replied politely, “It’s alright.”
The taste did not meet her expectations.
However, it was their first time meeting. Meng Chuyuan couldn’t say things so harshly. She had to be more polite.
However, the boss did not think so. He thought that Meng Chuyuan’s reply was simply a sign of her modesty.
The boss: “Which table are you sitting at? I’ll get the receptionist to give you a free meal later.’
Meng Chuyuan replied indifferently, “No need, thank you. We’ve already paid the bill.”
Seeing that they were chatting so happily, Qi Yan interrupted unhappily, “I’ve been here so many times. Why didn’t you give me a free meal?”
“We’re old classmates. Shouldn’t you patronize my business?”
They were high school classmates and had known each other for more than ten years. When this shop opened, Qi Yan had also invested in it.
Occasionally, when she was bored, she would come over to sit and chat with her old classmate.
“Why don’t you guys chat? I still have a friend waiting for me over there.” Meng Chuyuan had been stuck here for a long time. If she didn’t go back soon, Lu Qianling would be anxious.
The boss said enthusiastically, “Come over when you’re free another day. You can apply for a card here and you’ll get discounts. You also won’t have to queue up for a meal next time.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Let’s talk about it when we have time.”
When she returned to the dining table, Lu Qianling was already full.
Lu Qianling burped and asked curiously, “Why did you take so long to go to the washroom? Is that washroom also full? Did you need to queue?”
“No, I just met Qi Yan and her friend.”
“That old woman?” Lu Qianling raised her head in surprise and looked around for Qi Yan. She found her in a short while.
When she saw Qi Yan sitting with a man, Lu Qianlings gaze became a little subtle. “Could she be on a blind date?”
“They said they were old classmates. I don’t think they have the kind of relationship you’re talking about.”
Lu Qianling clicked her tongue. “That’s true. If that man liked her, they would have gotten together long ago.”
At this moment, Qi Yan was still eating with the boss. She came to the shop today to ask her old classmate about cooking. After all, she was going to record a variety show tomorrow.
The restaurant owner asked, “Where were we just now?”
“Teach me how to cook.” Qi Yan looked a little unhappy and spoke with crassness.
She already knew that Qi Zhen had applied for leave. This time, she was quite easy to talk to and agreed to record the variety show herself.
Qi Zhen had been cooking for the first two episodes and the meal she made last time was not very good. Because they had no other choice, the two of them had to force themself to eat it.
Just now, her old classmate had teased her for not being able to differentiate between sugar and salt on the variety show and was willing to teach her how to cook a few simple dishes.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Meng Chuyuan suddenly appeared and ruined the atmosphere.
After dinner, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qianling went straight to the nearby mall to shop. They stocked up on some daily necessities for Lu Qianling and bought some other things.
Lu Qianling pushed the shopping cart and started to chat with Meng Chuyuan.
“Do you know that there’s a building nearby that belongs to our Lu family?”
“I didn’t know that.”
She usually did not ask about Lu Qingve, and he had never taken the initiative to tell her.
“Huh? As a member of the Lu family, how can you say that you don’t know?” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “The Lu family?”
“Yeah, aren’t you a member of our Lu Family now?” Lu Qianling saw that she didn’t have any knowledge of the Lu family and couldn’t help but take on an imposing aura. “No, since you’re here, I must bring you to our family’s territory today to make your presence known..”
