During dinner, Wang Mingfang told Lu Baichuan about Yao Hongmei's pregnancy as if to take credit for it. Lu Baichuan was naturally happy, after all, the family was going to have a new baby. As for whether it was a boy or not, it didn't matter to him, he didn't have that kind of conservative ideas.

Because Lu Xiaoxue, a chicken leg specialist, was not at home, Wang Mingfang smiled and put a big chicken leg into Yao Hongmei's bowl, asking her to eat more to replenish her body so that she could give birth to a fat grandson for the Lu family.

Yao Hongmei was flattered, as this was a treatment she had never received before. She rubbed her stomach unconsciously, divided the chicken leg into two halves, ate half herself, and gave the other half to her daughter Yingying.

Wang Mingfang was a little unhappy when she saw this, but she still held back and said nothing. She picked up another chicken leg and put it in Lu Jingzhe's bowl, saying:

"Your father's cough hasn't healed yet, so he can't eat chicken. Give this chicken leg to Jingzhe. It's rare for him to come back."

Xia Qingning was really amazed by this aunt's shameless ability to flatter others. Their relationship had become so strained last time when she paid back the money, but now she could still be so attentive to her as if nothing had happened. She is really not an ordinary person!

Looking at the chicken leg in the bowl, Lu Jingzhe frowned in disgust. Xia Qingning also noticed his slight expression and thought he would pick it up with disgust, but a moment later the chicken leg fell directly into her bowl.

This move surprised everyone at the table. He Shanshan, who was sitting in the corner, stared with her eyes wide open, wondering how this chicken leg ended up in the bowl of Xia Qingning, a stinky girl. No one should eat it, not her!

"It's okay to eat limes. Limes are good for nourishing the body." Upon seeing this scene, Wang Mingfang reacted immediately and said something along the lines of going with the flow.

Xia Qingning didn't have a problem with the chicken leg. Since it was put into her bowl, she just ate it. But Lu Jingzhe was a really hard person to figure out.

On second thought, although he felt disgusted with it, he did not throw it away like a brainless man. Instead, he gave it to himself, making himself the beneficiary. This shows that he has a clear mind.

Not long after the meal, Xia Qingning saw Mai Miao running towards her in a hurry. She seemed very embarrassed and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Seeing her like this, Xia Qingning knew that she had something to tell her, so she simply took her to her room.

Mai Miao hesitated for a moment and began to tell Xia Qingning everything that had happened.

It turned out that the matchmaker who introduced a boyfriend to He Shanshan had just gone to their house and said she wanted to introduce a boyfriend to her, and that guy was the young man who had met He Shanshan two days ago.

The matchmaker said that the young man accidentally saw her when he came over that day, and he kept thinking about her after he went back, so he immediately asked herself to express his attitude to He Shanshan.

The young man originally wanted to visit today, but he was afraid that Mai Miao would feel embarrassed, so he asked the matchmaker to come first and ask if she was willing to give him a chance so that they could meet and get to know each other.

He also said that if Mai Miao had concerns now and didn't want to meet, he could wait another year. After a year, when things had calmed down and there were no more rumors, he would find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Now Mai Miao feels very conflicted. She really wants to meet the young man because she can feel that he is sincere and knows his limits.

He did not come directly to her house, but asked the matchmaker to come and ask for her opinion first, which left a good impression on her.

Also, he did not give up and was willing to wait for another year, which was enough to show his sincerity towards her.

Finally, their family conditions are really good and the boy is good-looking. Mai Miao feels that she is not young anymore and she has never met such a suitable person before, so she doesn't want to miss it.

Now her only concern was that he had met He Shanshan before, and if he came to meet her again now, people would definitely gossip about him.

Considering all the above, Mai Miao couldn't make up his mind, so he came to Xia Qingning to discuss it.

I don’t know when Xia Qingning became her backbone!

Xia Qingning knew that Mai Miao told her such a private matter because she trusted her. She thought for a moment and asked:

"What is Aunt Li's attitude?"

"My mother told me to make the decision myself." Mai Miao said nervously, "But how can I make the decision on such a big matter?"

"Aunt Li asked you to make the decision, which actually means she has tacitly agreed." Xia Qingning reminded her that if Li Qiulian did not want to agree to this marriage, she would have refused at that time. Why would she come to find Mai Miao to go back?

"I see." Mai Miao blinked her big round eyes and said with sudden enlightenment:

"No wonder she didn't say a word of objection and was even polite to the matchmaker."

Xia Qingning naturally knew what Li Qiulian was thinking. In fact, everyone was not a fool. How could they refuse such a good marriage just because they were afraid of gossip?

Besides, Li Qiulian had no relationship with He Shanshan and her daughter. It was good enough that she didn't become enemies with them because of Su Hui. How could she ruin her daughter's good marriage just to save their face?

"But I'm still a little worried that others will gossip about me. If that happens, they will say that I stole He Shanshan's blind date. That would be so ugly!" Mai Miao said with concern.

"The mouth is on someone else's body, and we can't control it." Xia Qingning said calmly,

"Even if you reject that offer now, won't others still gossip about you? Why should we care about what they say? The most important thing is for us to live our own lives well."

Fearing that she still had concerns, Xia Qingning thought for a moment and simply used her original body's story as an example to enlighten her:

"Look, the incident between me and Lu Jingzhe was such a big deal back then, weren't people talking about us behind our backs? I'm still alive and well, and look, when they see me now, aren't they still calling me Lu's second wife, Lu's second wife?"

After washing up, Lu Jingzhe didn't know that Mai Miao came to find Xia Qingning. Just as he was about to walk into the room, he heard what Xia Qingning said. He frowned slightly unconsciously, and a layer of resentment appeared in his eyes.

When Mai Miao heard Xia Qingning talking about the past, the topic suddenly changed, and he asked with a sly smile:

"Qing Ning, I'm also confused. Why were you so bold? That was Brother Jing Zhe. Who in the entire compound wasn't afraid of him?"

Xia Qingning didn't want to explain too much to her. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before everyone would know the truth. She just replied calmly:

"It's not that I'm bold, it's that the bad guys are so abominable."

Lu Jingzhe was about to leave outside the house, but suddenly heard Xia Qingning's words and stopped unconsciously.

"Ah?" Mai Miao looked at Xia Qingning in surprise and wanted to continue asking, but Xia Qingning did not continue the topic and said:

"Besides, it's not shameful for you that Xiao Wu likes you, so don't worry too much. Just try to get along with him first."

Mai Miao was not a stubborn person. After listening to what Xia Qingning said, he quickly figured it out and said shyly:

"Okay, then I'll let him come over tomorrow."
