Mother Lu picked up the last gift bag, and Lu Ming’s gaze followed her movements.
Mother Lu stood up and walked over to him.
Lu Ming also stood up, and he extended his hand with a face full of joy. “Thank you, Mom.”
Mother Lu looked at him in confusion, and then handed the gift bag to Fu Hanchuan.
“Hanchuan, this is for you. It’s the latest Houston watch, a unique one.”
Fu Hanchuan took it.
Houston was a brand that he often wore, but he did not plan to change his watch.
The reason was simple. It was obvious that the watch he was wearing now was a couple’s watch with Qin Sheng’s.
However, Qin Sheng had never noticed it.
Lu Ming’s hand, which was about to take the gift, froze in mid-air.
/
He watched helplessly as Mother Lu passed the gift to Fu Hanchuan.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and could not help but ask, “Mom, are there any more gifts?”
“No.”
Mother Lu sat back down on the sofa.
Lu Ming squeezed himself next to Mother Lu and sat down. “Mom, where’s mine?”
Mother Lu frowned. “Didn’t you receive any?”
Lu Ming shook his head. “No.”
Only then did Mother Lu remember that she had forgotten to pick out a gift for Lu Ming because she was in a hurry to come back.
She told him the truth.
Lu Ming was stunned. Then, he asked hopefully, “Then Mom, when are you going to make it up to me?”
Mother Lu waved her hand impatiently. “No need to make it up. You’re my son. There’s no need to be so formal.”
Lu Ming: “…”
He needed to be formal!
The whole family had gifts, but he didn’t!
Lu Ming was like a salted fish.
Finally, Mother Lu took out a red packet and stuffed it into Qin Sheng’s hand.
The red packet was very thick.
It was at least 10,000 yuan.
Qin Sheng didn’t know how to reject it. The necklace and bracelet alone had already cost 18 million yuan. That princess dress was probably not cheap.
Qin Sheng wanted to reject it.
Mother Lu was the first to say, “Sheng Sheng, I also heard that you got first place in the country. This is my reward for you. It’s not much, just 10,000 yuan.”
“You can’t reject it. Otherwise, you’re looking down on me.”
Qin Sheng’s rejection was stuck in the middle of her rant.
Lu Ming could not help but come forward to remind her, “Mom, I got 11th place in the country.”
“Okay,” Mother Lu replied calmly
Lu Ming: “Third place in the entire province.”
Mother Lu: “Oh.”
Lu Ming rubbed his hands. “Mom, aren’t you going to show me?”
Mother Lu was very confused. “Show me what?”
Lu Ming said straightforwardly, “You gave Sheng Sheng a big red packet. Where’s mine?”
Mother Lu finally understood what Lu Ming was talking about.
She rolled her eyes. “You’re ranked 11th, and you still have the nerve to ask me for it? When you get the top scorer, we can talk about it again.”
Lu Ming: “…”
It was the same sentence again.
His grandfather said so, the principal said so, and now his mother said so again?
When did the national ranking 11th become so worthless?
In other places, it would still be the provincial top scorer.
Qin Sheng saw how Lu Ming and Mother Lu were getting along. She lowered her eyes and wiped away the envy in her eyes.
Mother Lu did not want to bother with Lu Ming anymore.
She started to pull Qin Sheng to talk.
Mother Lu liked Qin Sheng very much. Although Qin Sheng rarely spoke, Mother Lu still had a good impression of Qin Sheng.
This little girl looked obedient and well-behaved. She was also very clean.
She was a hundred times better than those girls outside who were full of schemes and so pretentious.
The more Mother Lu looked at Qin Sheng, the more she liked her.
For a moment, she said without thinking, “Sheng Sheng, why don’t you be my goddaughter?”
