Aunt Liu glanced at Lu Qingqing and saw that her way of grilling shrimp was different from hers. She started scolding her in various ways, saying that it was too wasteful for her to grill shrimp like this. Then she demonstrated it to her again and asked her to follow this process.
Then Aunt Liu went to eat in a big way.
Lu Qingqing didn't say anything. She knew that Aunt Liu was introduced by Sheng Meilan. Originally, Aunt Liu didn't like her and provoked her in various ways. Now that Sheng Meilan is here, she may become even worse.
But as long as Aunt Liu doesn't go too far, she can tolerate it for the sake of the old man.
After taking a few bites, the old man saw that Lu Qingqing was still busy in the kitchen, so he quickly asked her to come and eat.
Sheng Meilan felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the old man felt so sorry for Lu Qingqing.
"Dad, she is a junior and so young. She will starve to death if she eats too late."
The old man glanced at her and told Aunt Liu to go help quickly.
Aunt Liu returned to the kitchen before she even took a bite of her meal.
"Why are you so slow? You didn't mean it, did you?" Aunt Liu was dissatisfied and vented her anger on the prawn.
Lu Qingqing grilled the shrimps and served them to the table.
The old man invited Lu Qingqing to sit down and eat.
But just as she was about to sit down, she heard Sheng Meilan say, "This seat belongs to Mingxi, you can't sit down."
Lu Qingqing changed seats again.
"This seat is where my daughter Shanshan usually sits. You can sit opposite Aunt Liu." Sheng Meilan pointed to the seat farthest from the old man.
"Pah!" The old man threw his chopsticks on the table, "Are you going to let Qingqing eat? Mingxi is not here, what's wrong with her sitting in Mingxi's seat?"
"No, I'm not afraid of breaking the rules!"
"What are the rules? I think you just don't want Qingqing to have a good meal." The old man got really angry this time and started coughing violently after saying this.
Sheng Meilan and Lu Qingqing came over quickly, and finally the old man asked Qingqing to push him back into the room and leave Sheng Meilan there to dry.
After closing the door, Lu Qingqing took out the medicine for the old man and poured him a glass of warm water.
The old man took medicine and felt better.
"Qingqing, don't be angry with your aunt. Mingxi lost her parents when she was young, so she treated Mingxi as her own child, so I really should discuss the marriage with her in advance, but I have my own considerations.
"
The old man paused.
"Mingxi had a girlfriend before. They were about to get married, but something happened and the marriage fell through. I also watched that girl grow up. She has a more out-of-the-box temperament and is more open-minded.
, Grandpa, although I like her very much, I just feel that she and Mingxi are not suitable."
The old man's face paled when he said this.
"Mingxi is a very emotional person. When he was traumatized in his childhood, he only had the girl by his side. The two of them ate and played together and were inseparable. It was also because of the girl's cheerful temperament that she gradually led Mingxi out.
Shadow."
"But that child had a fatal flaw, that is, she was too competitive, and she suffered a big loss in the end. Because she had no face to see Mingxi, she went abroad alone. In fact, I have long seen that she is not suitable for Mingxi.
Their personalities are so different that they can be friends, but as a couple, Mingxi will be very tired and prone to conflicts if they get along day and night. So grandpa chose you in the end. You are quieter, restrained, steady in work, and good at running a house...
…”
"But grandpa also found that you have a problem, that is, you are too down-to-earth and trust people too easily. This temperament is good, but it is easy to suffer losses. Practice socializing more in the future and learn to understand people's hearts. In this way, you will definitely become Mingxi's wise man in the future.
I’m a helper, do you understand me?”
Lu Qingqing was so moved that her eyes were slightly red. Although she and Sheng Mingxi may not necessarily have a future, the old man was really kind to him. Otherwise, he would not have said such heartfelt words to her.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I have remembered everything you said." Lu Qingqing said obediently.
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said that Sheng Meilan wouldn't live here too long and asked her to be more patient.
That night, Sheng Mingxi came back very late, and Lu Qingqing was awakened by the quarrel in the yard.
Lu Qingqing got up and came to the door. Through the window, she saw Sheng Meilan's expression in the yard and was very excited.
She tapped Sheng Mingxi's heart hard, "I don't believe you forgot Xinwen so quickly. She loves you so much, but you turned around and married another woman. Are you worthy of her?"
Sheng Mingxi's face was hidden in the darkness. Lu Qingqing couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel his suppressed emotions.
"She and I are done," Sheng Mingxi said.
"So you married that bumpkin in the house?" Sheng Meilan said angrily, "Xinwen gave up her studies to accompany you. Now that you are successful and famous, you treat her like this?"
"She betrayed me first, and I didn't feel sorry for her." Sheng Mingxi's voice was cold and painful.
"She was taken advantage of because she was young and too playful. Now she knows she was wrong. Can't you forgive her?"
"Some things you've done you can't look back on." Sheng Mingxi looked up and sighed, "Aunt, please tell her that if she wants to return to China, I welcome her, but I can only treat her as my sister."
Lu Qingqing could feel Sheng Mingxi's inner struggle and pain.
Feng Xinwen, what kind of person are you?
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but be curious about this person she had never met before. To be liked by so many people, there must be something special about her.
Sheng Mingxi still slept in the study tonight.
Lu Qingqing guessed that Liu Keer probably knew that there was a guest at home, so he stopped staying for the time being, or he gave up on Sheng Mingxi.
However, Lu Qingqing felt that Sheng Meilan was more difficult to deal with than Liu Keer. She felt that she was not particularly easy to get along with.
The next morning, when Lu Qingqing opened her eyes, she saw a message from Sheng Mingxi in the early morning, asking her to send him a shirt from the wardrobe in the morning.
Lu Qingqing found the shirt and went to the study door. The door was ajar. She knocked several times but no one answered.
Not awake yet?
Lu Qingqing pushed open the door and walked in. He looked up and saw Sheng Mingxi who was changing clothes.
