"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Xiao Shu. Is she by your side?" Mrs. Lu asked back.
Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu and said, "Here he is."
"Give the phone to Xiao Shu."
Lu Qi groaned and handed the phone to Rong Shu, "Here, my mom."
Rong Shu took the phone and said, "Auntie."
"Xiao Shu, aunt misses you so much." Upon hearing Rong Shu's voice, Mrs. Lu laughed so hard that her eyes were filled with tears.
Rong Shu also laughed and said, "Auntie, I miss you too."
"You missed me and you didn't tell me to come and see me." Mrs. Lu said pretending to complain.
Rong Shu stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I've been too busy recently and don't have time."
"Do you have time now? Come to aunt's house for dinner. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you." Mrs. Lu invited.
Just as Rong Shu was about to speak, Lu Qi, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but speak, "Mom, I'm taking my baby to eat seafood."
"The seafood outside is delicious, but it's not fresh. If you want to eat it, just eat what I cooked." Mrs. Lu replied.
Rong Shu said, "Then I'll trouble Auntie."
"No trouble, no trouble, then come here early." Mrs. Lu laughed happily when she heard Rong Shu agreed to come to the house.
Then the call was hung up. Lu Qi took the phone back and looked at Rong Shu helplessly, "There is nothing we can do, we can't eat the seafood outside."
"It's okay. Let's go next time. Let's go buy a gift for my uncle and aunt first." Rong Shu took his arm and walked towards the car.
The two came to the mall, looked around, and bought a cloak for Mrs. Lu and a tie for Mr. Lu, and then drove to Lu's house.
The Lu family and the Rong family used to be family friends and had a very good relationship.
Mrs. Lu and her mother are best friends.
Since her mother passed away, Mrs. Lu has raised her as her biological daughter. It can be said that in her heart, Mrs. Lu is her second mother.
Soon, the Lu family arrived.
This is the first time Rong Shu has come here in six years. The place is still the same as before, without any change.
Therefore, Rong Shu did not feel any strangeness.
"Xiao Shu!" Mrs. Lu heard the sound of the car in the house and ran out to greet her. When she saw Rong Shu, her eyes lit up and she opened her arms to hug her.
"Auntie." Rong Shu stepped forward with a smile.
The two hugged each other.
Lu Qi looked on in disgust, "Mom, you just ignored me, right?"
Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes, "I see you every day and I'm tired of seeing you. I'm leaving first. What I want to see most is Xiao Shu. Come to Xiao Shu and let Auntie take a good look at her."
She took Rong Shu's hands and led Rong Shu around, feeling a little distressed and saying, "I've lost weight."
Rong Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, why have I lost weight?"
"I have lost weight everywhere. My face used to look fatter," Mrs. Lu said.
Rong Shu replied: "It used to be baby fat, so it looks fatter. Okay, aunt, let's go inside first."
"Yes, yes, first in, first in, first in." Mrs. Lu took her hand and walked into the villa.
After entering the villa, Rong Shu found that there was no one else, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't uncle here?"
"He is playing golf with others outside. Ignore him. Xiao Shu, please tell your aunt how you have been over the past six years." Mrs. Lu watched the press conference and was eager to know about her.
"Okay." Rong Shu nodded, and then told her life in the Fu family as simply as possible to avoid Mrs. Lu feeling distressed.
But after hearing this, Mrs. Lu was still very angry. She couldn't help but pat the coffee table and said, "The Fu family is really not a good person. Xiao Shu, they treat you like that. Why don't you tell your uncle and aunt? Tell us and we will give you something."
If you support me, they will definitely not dare to bully you."
"That's right, I've talked about her before." Lu Qi gnawed on an apple and nodded in agreement.
He had always been very angry about Rong Shu's behavior of not telling him when she was bullied during her marriage.
But rather than being angry with her, he still felt sorry for her.
Seeing Mrs. Lu and Lu Qi's concern, Rong Shu felt warm in her heart and her eyes gradually became hot, "Because I don't want my uncle and aunt to worry."
Her parents are gone, and her closest relatives are Mrs. Lu and the others.
She can ask Mrs. Lu and others to support her a few times, but she can't let them support her all the time. After all, they are not her real relatives and will get annoying over time, so she might as well not look for them in the first place.
"You." Mrs. Lu nodded Rong Shu's forehead and sighed.
Rong Shu knew that she was angry, so she smiled, hugged her arm affectionately and acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Lu's heart suddenly softened and she touched Rong Shu's hair.
Suddenly, Lu Qi frowned and sniffed twice in the air, "Mom, what did you cook? It smells so strong."
Mrs. Lu's eyes widened and she stood up suddenly, "Ah, my seafood porridge!"
After saying that, she quickly ran towards the kitchen to save her own porridge.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the porridge was saved.
Mrs. Lu came over with two glasses of juice and placed them in front of Rong Shu, "Smile, you drink it first and watch TV for a while. Auntie goes to the kitchen to fry two dishes. You can eat in a while."
"Okay, Auntie." Rong Shu smiled and nodded.
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Qi and said, "Come with me to help."
"Help?" Lu Qi couldn't believe what he heard. He blinked and pointed at his nose, "Mom, are you kidding me? I can help..."
"Are you going or not?" Mrs. Lu's expression was serious.
Lu Qi immediately didn't dare to refuse, and stood up with a headache, "I'll go, why don't I go?"
Then he followed Mrs. Lu to the kitchen dejectedly.
Rong Shu giggled when she saw him like this.
In the kitchen, Lu Qi looked left and right, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Lu glanced at him sideways, "Don't I know how useless you are? If I ask you to do things, I'm afraid you'll blow up the kitchen for me."
Lu Qi curled his lips aggrievedly, "Then why did you ask me to come here?"
"I called you here because I wanted to ask you what you think of Xiao Shu. Do you still like Xiao Shu?" Mrs. Lu looked at him.
Lu Qi's expression changed, "Mom, you..."
"You want to ask, how do I know you like Xiao Shu, right?" Mrs. Lu knew what he wanted and interrupted him directly.
Lu Qi's lips moved and he acquiesced.
Yes, he likes Rong Shu, he has liked her since he was a child.
But he knew that Rong Shu didn't like him and only regarded him as his best friend, so he never revealed his feelings for her. He always thought that he had concealed it well and no one found out. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his own mother.
"What I didn't know was that you were drunk and said it yourself on the night of Rong Shu's wedding six years ago."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu sighed, "To be honest, I was shocked when I first heard it. If I had known that you liked Xiao Shu so much and didn't treat her as a sister, what would I have said?
I want to bring you together, but why do you tell me to hide it so closely? By the time I know it, it's already too late."
Lu Qi touched his nose and did not dare to answer.
While Mrs. Lu was choosing the dishes, she added, "You haven't answered me yet. Do you still like Xiao Shu?"
Lu Qi turned his head, looked in the direction of the living room through the kitchen door, with deep friendship in his eyes, "My heart for her has never changed."
"That's just right. Now that Xiao Shu is single again, you should be bold enough to pursue her and turn your fake boyfriend into a real boyfriend." Mrs. Lu encouraged her.
She really likes Xiao Shu.
So I wish Xiao Shu would marry my son.
Lu Qi shook his head and his eyes dimmed, "It still doesn't work. Baby doesn't like me. If I suddenly chase her, I will only scare her. That's fine."
It's not that he has never seen male best friends pursuing girls, but there are really very few who can get together. Basically, girls are scared away and stay away from male best friends. After all, not everyone can accept a male best friend becoming a boyfriend.
.
He didn't want to be like that with Rong Shu, and he didn't dare to take risks. He would rather remain her best friend. At least this way, he could stay by his side.
