Chapter 169: Speaking the Truth (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The learning environment in this class was decent, but there were always a few people who liked to play tricks. They would prank whoever they disliked.
Lu Qianling had seen this kind of random targeting many times, so she did not find it strange anymore.
Meng Meng said, “I’ll go with you next time. I’ll keep a watch outside for you. Let’s see who dares to turn off the lights.”
Lu Qianling and Meng Meng were good friends. They had known each other since they were young, but they only became classmates in high school.
In Lu Qianling’s original class, the learning environment was a little bad. However, in order to take classes with her good friend, Lu Qianling specially transferred over from the next class.
At that time, when they heard that Lu Qianling wanted to transfer over, the students in the class did not agree because in everyone’s eyes, there was a difference between the two classes. Moreover, Lu Qianling’s results were not too outstanding. They were afraid that she would lower the average score of the class after she came.
But who would have thought that Lu Qianling would be able to pass her midterm exams, so she successfully transferred over.
Lu Qianling asked, “Did you see anyone go out just now?”
Meng Meng thought about it seriously and slowly shook her head. “I didn’t notice anyone.”
Everyone was studying seriously. Usually, no one would deliberately pay attention to this kind of toilet activity.
When Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen returned home after recording the variety show, they realized that only the servants were at home.
“Uncle Chen, where’s my mother?” Lu Jinsen scanned the room for a long time but could not find Madam Lu.
Butler Chen replied, “Madam is not back yet.”
“It’s already so late, where could she have gone to…”
Their flight was delayed. They should have landed in the afternoon, but it was delayed until night.
Meng Chuyuan saw that it was almost nine o’clock, and Uncle Yuan had long gotten off work. No one was there to prepare dinner.
She carried her luggage back to her room, took off her coat, washed her face, and came down to cook.
With one hand on his waist, Lu Jinsen stood in the hall and called Madam Lu to ask for her location. After all, his mother was a little worrisome.
“Mom. where are you?”
Madam Lu said, “I’m still at your brother’s company. Your father asked me to send him a document at the last minute. I’ve been searching for a long time…”
As she was not familiar with the computer in her husband’s office and there were many folders in it, Madam Lu almost fainted when she opened it.
When Lu Jinsen heard that she was at the company and not outside, he felt inexplicably relieved. “We’re already home.”
“You’re home?” Madam Lu suddenly raised her hand and slapped her forehead.
She said anxiously, “Oh no, I didn’t tell Uncle Yuan to cook for you.”
Meng Chuyuan happened to pass by the living room. She poured a glass of water and said softly to Lu Jinsen, “Come over and help me after the call.”
It was a little late now. If she did it alone, they might not be able to eat dinner so quickly.
“Okay.” Lu Jinsen nodded gently.
The next second, Lu Jinsen said to his mother on the phone, “Mom, Sister-in-law and I will cook first. Come back quickly after you’re done. We’ll wait for you to eat.”
Meng Chuyuan had a mouthful of water in her mouth. Before she could swallow it, she heard Lu Jinsen’s words.
By the time Lu Jinsen hung up, Meng Chuyuan had finished her water.
Lu Jinsen looked up and suddenly realized that Meng Chuyuan was looking at him.
“You called me sister-in-law just now.” Meng Chuyuan was not asking a question, but making a statement.
She had heard it herself. There was no need to doubt it.
However, Meng Chuyuan did not expect him to call her sister-in-law so naturally. He did not seem awkward at all.
‘ He took a second to seriously recall the previous few moments. It seems that he had really said the word “sister-in-law” just now.
After a long time, Lu Jinsen only gave a soft “oh”.
He did not feel embarrassed. After all, he would have to call her sister-in-law sooner or later.
When the two of them were cooking, they seemed to be recording a variety show. They prepared the dishes together, and Meng Chuyuan was in charge of cooking.
It was almost 10 pm when Madam Lu returned from the company. She could already smell the fragrance of the dishes when she was in the courtyard.
The night breeze made one shiver. Madam Lu almost ran into the house. She changed her shoes, put down the bag in her hand, and washed her hands.
Madam Lu walked into the kitchen and opened her arms, throwing herself towards Lu Jinsen as if she had been wronged. “My precious son, let me hug you.”
Lu Jinsen was a little confused. He did not understand what was going on and was forced to let his mother hug him.
“Mom, what are you doing?”
Madam Lu said, “Some of you are busy with business trips while others are busy with school. I’m the only one who’s busy being a tool for your father and brother. I’m so tired. Why don’t the two of you bring me along next time you film a variety show?”
She did not know if it was because she had been too idle in the past, but she was already exhausted from being the acting chairman of the company.
At first, Lu Jinsen thought that what she said sounded reasonable, up until the moment Madam Lu asked them to bring her on the variety show. He suddenly fell silent.
