Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend
Chapter 101 The gap between the rich and the poor
When Lu Xingchen woke up, she saw her mother standing outside the small balcony and making a phone call through the glass door. Most likely, she was going to contact Lu Wenli. She pretended to be still asleep and turned over.
At this moment, she saw the mobile phone turned upside down on the bedside table and on silent mode. She thought of the thing she had gone through so much trouble to get home, and how it had bombarded her with messages for several hours after she got home. She didn't even want to look at the phone and buried her face in the pillow.
No one can make her worry-free.
Xu Fanghua pushed the door open and saw that Lu Xingchen was still sleeping, so she tiptoed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Lu Xingchen lived in a single room with the kitchen and living room in the same space. She sat up when she heard Xu Fanghua opening the refrigerator.
Xu Fanghua turned around and looked over. "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I'm hungry, what are you going to do?"
Neither the mother nor the daughter is good at cooking. After leaving the Lu family, Lu Xingchen has always hired an aunt to take care of Xu Fanghua's three meals a day. Xu Fanghua stared at the refrigerator for a while and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lu Xingchen threw off the quilt and got out of bed, then picked up the coat that was draped over the back of the chair and put it on, "There are dumplings and steamed buns, I'll cook them."
"I'll cook while you wash up." Xu Fanghua took out a few bags of food from the freezer, picked out two flavors of dumplings and said, "I'll fry two eggs for you."
"Do you know?"
"What do you mean...how about boiling it?"
Lu Xingchen nodded, "I just like boiled food."
Xu Fanghua chuckled, and then felt a little sorry. Lu Xingchen came over and hugged her shoulders teasingly, "How about you sign up for a cooking training class?"
Xu Fanghua said unhappily, "You dislike your mother for not being able to cook, right?"
Lu Xingchen sighed, "It's my fault too. I didn't pursue anything but still spoiled you. Look what I've done to you."
Xu Fanghua really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Xingchen then pinched her shoulder and walked to the wash area, "You boil the eggs while I wash my face."
While making breakfast, Xu Fanghua said, "You rented a big house for me and hired an aunt. I feel bad for you living in such a small place and not knowing how to cook."
"The chef in the company cafeteria is as good as Auntie. Besides, cooking is not difficult. I just don't want to do it. If I have to do it, what's the role of the chef? Speaking of cooking..." Lu Xingchen looked at Xu Fanghua while brushing his teeth, "Auntie Chen asked us to go to her house for dinner. Do you want to go?"
Chen Ma...
Xu Fanghua thought of Chen Shufen and stopped what she was doing. "Did you go to see Aunt Chen?"
"No." Lu Xingchen noticed his mother's reaction, finished brushing his teeth and said, "I ran into Chen Xiaolin at the company, and she asked me."
"Oh." The water in the pot boiled. Xu Fanghua opened the lid and put the dumplings in. There was no further news for a long time.
Lu Xingchen washed his face and threw the face towel into the trash can, "If you don't want us to go, then we won't go."
"It's not that I don't want to..." Xu Fanghua moved the dumplings in the pot with a spoon, "You know that your mother Chen married Liu Wenhao, right?"
Lu Xingchen came over and took over the work in her hands, "I know."
Xu Fanghua stood aside and said, "Although the Liu family cannot be said to be a wealthy family, Liu Wenhao is also worth over 100 million. When I introduced Chen Shufen to work there, I didn't expect her to marry into that family. I'm not jealous of her marriage, but now I'm living like this, and the aunt who took care of me has become a wealthy lady. I can't bring myself to lose face."
Xu Fanghua answered very honestly. Although she was not from a wealthy family, she was sent to an art school to learn dance when she was young. With her looks and talent, she was successfully admitted into the art troupe. Then she married into a wealthy family and became a wealthy wife for 20 years. She could be considered a favored girl with a smooth journey.
Now that she has fallen to such a state, she still hasn't been able to accept herself now, let alone the gap between herself and other people?
"I understand that you feel bad, but mom, this is our situation. We can only strive for the life we want based on what we have now. This is reality."
Xu Fanghua smiled bitterly, "I can't do anything except dancing. Besides, I'm almost fifty years old. Who would watch a person with wrinkles all over his face dance? Even if someone saw me, I wouldn't be able to dance with my body. There's no hope for me in this life..."
"mom."
"I know what you want to say, but I'm old and you're still young. But you're already 25, so even if you're not in a hurry to get married, you have to find a boyfriend."
Xu Fanghua left the kitchen to collect the clothes from the laundry basket and put them into the washing machine.
"No matter what our current situation is, with your looks and conditions, you can easily find a good one. Even if you are not from a wealthy family, you can still consider a stable job and income."
Lu Xingchen: “…”
Xu Fanghua: "As for appearance, it's enough to be decent. Character and financial ability are more important... By the way, who did you go out with yesterday when you came back so late? Your boyfriend?"
When talking about last night, Lu Xingchen's forehead reflexively throbbed twice, and his mother's repeated questioning made him even more dizzy.
At this time, Chen Xiaolin called and asked her if she had time to have dinner. She lied and said that she had gone out of town with her mother and was not in Yuecheng.
This year... no one has ever loved her, but she is having a bad time anyway.
The fifth day of the new year.
Lu Xingchen finally heard the only good news since the Chinese New Year. Xu Nanhe called her and told her that "Niu Niu" had been played more than five million times in just one week after its launch.
It happened to be the Fifth Day of the Chinese New Year today, so Xu Nanhe asked her to go up the mountain to burn incense and welcome the God of Wealth.
Considering Xu Nanhe's current career momentum, Lu Xingchen couldn't refuse. However, they arrived a little late and the road up the mountain was crowded, so they had to temporarily change their route and go to Zhuhai Park.
Yuecheng is a major business city and people there believe in the God of Wealth very much. So on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Pearl River Park is bustling with the sound of gongs and drums, and dancing of dragons and lions.
Lu Xingchen also liked the God of Wealth, but the huge crowds almost discouraged her. Fortunately, after they had been shopping for more than half an hour, they went into a dessert shop to drink sweet soup and ran into Lin Huanxi and Xu Ke. As they were chatting, Lin Huanxi suddenly said:
"Let's have a barbecue today. I'll recommend you a bottle of super delicious wine. Besides wine, their green plum wine and glutinous rice wine will definitely not disappoint you!"
Lin Huanxi's words are as clear as rain and she would do it immediately. At her enthusiastic invitation, Lu Xingchen got into her car.
Tsui Hark and Xu Nanhe each drove to the address sent by Lin Huanxi. Except for buying some barbecue food at the supermarket on the way, they drove straight to their destination without stopping.
At first, Lu Xingchen thought Lin Huanxi was talking about the restaurant, but she called on the way and said, "Aunt, is anyone home? I'm bringing some friends to your house for a barbecue."
It could be heard that her second aunt was very enthusiastic to invite her over, but Lu Xingchen was still somewhat uncomfortable. Was it really appropriate to go to someone else's house for a barbecue during the New Year?
But whether it’s suitable or not, they are already on their way.
About forty minutes later, Lin Huanxi's car drove into the manor villa area and stopped in a large courtyard covered with flower vines.
The woman who came to help them carry their things was about 40 years old and had a strong physique. Lin Huanxi called her, "Sister Yuan, don't take it. We have brought two strong men with us. Where is my second aunt?"
"Make barbecue seasoning in the house." Sister Yuan said as she took two boxes of things and walked into the yard.
Lin Huanxi followed with Lu Xingchen. When they were almost at the door, Lu Xingchen heard a woman's voice coming from inside the room.
"Lin Huanxi, I told you not to buy anything. Yesterday, your brother's friend brought back a lot of seafood from Zhancheng, and your brother Shi just brought a lot of things over. I almost have no place to put them..."
The woman who was walking out of the door suddenly stopped talking and dropped a large bag of barbecue skewers in her hand to the ground.
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but gasp when he saw this person. This person in front of him was actually Li Zhen's mother! So... this is Li Zhen's home?
She, is it too late for her to leave now?
