Under Meng Chuyuan’s guidance, Madam Lu picked up the scissors again and cut off the excess branches.
Seeing that Madam Lu had found something she liked to do, Meng Chuyuan was happy for her.
Meng Chuyuan said, “Get rid of the dead branches too.”
“I know.” Madam Lu tilted her head to look at her and said, “Go and rest. I can do it alone.”
Madam Lu knew that Meng Chuyuan had been busy in the company for the entire afternoon and should be tired, so she let her rest.
Trimming the branches was not difficult. She still had this bit of confidence.
“Then I’ll go in and see Uncle Yuan. Is there anything you need help with in the kitchen?” Seeing that she was doing well and there was a professional gardener beside her, Meng Chuyuan had nothing to worry about.
Meng Chuyuan came back from the company a little late today. She did not have time to send food to Lu Qianling after dinner.
Seeing that Lu Qianling’s class was about to end, Meng Chuyuan took out her phone and left her a message to settle dinner herself. She also transferred the promised five thousand yuan on WeChat to her.
After completing the final transfer, Meng Chuyuan exited the chat. She looked at the unread messages below and read them altogether.
Meng Chuyuan happened to see Lu Jinsen’s manager’s message and thought that she had something to tell her, so she clicked on it curiously.
The manager told her the whole story of how the director wanted her to play a cameo role.
The manager did not mention whether Meng Chuyuan needed to act in the movie. However, in the end, she complained that Lu Jinsen did not tell her about it.
Meng Chuyuan stared at the phone screen and raised her eyebrows slightly. She replied politely: [I understand.]
She did not expect Lu Jinsen to be so able to hold things in. He had not told her about what happened yesterday.
He was not back yet, so Meng Chuyuan did not put this matter to heart. She put down her phone and walked into the kitchen to help Uncle Yuan with his work.
Lu Jinsen finished his work and had dinner with his manager outside.
“I have something on later. You can go back first,” Lu Jinsen said.
The manager asked curiously, “What is it?”
Coincidentally, their workplace was not far from Lu Qianling’s school. After dinner, Lu Jinsen did not want to go home immediately.
Lu Jinsen lowered his eyes and looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table. He suddenly recalled what Meng Chuyuan had said at the dining table last night.
Lu Qianling was still young and needed concern from her family.
Lu Qingye was often busy with business matters. Compared to Lu Qingye, he was the one who accompanied Lu Qianling the most. In terms of the relationship between siblings, he was naturally slightly better.
However, in Lu Qianling’s heart, he had never been able to surpass Lu Qingye.
Lu Jinsen thought for a moment and said, “My sister is studying nearby. I’ll go over and see her later.”
“Alright, I’ll go back first. Be careful. Don’t get followed by the paparazzi again.”
Previously, whenever Lu Jinsen went out, there would always be paparazzi following him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake them off. He also allowed them to take a lot of photos of him and post them online, causing him to be attacked by many anti-fans.
It was not easy for him to film a variety show, and his popularity was starting to improve. If something went wrong this time, he would be mocked by the entire Internet again.
“I’ll be careful.” After Lu Jinsen finished speaking, he had already put on his mask.
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Jinsen booked a car to Lu Qianling’s school alone. On the way, he even sent Lu Qianling a WeChat message: [Come to the school gate after class.]
Lu Qianling’s performance in class today was not bad. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also took the initiative to answer the questions asked by the teacher. The other students also looked at her strangely.
After the last class ended, everyone was so tired that they sighed. Only Lu Qianling was still seriously sorting out her class notes.
Her deskmate finished cleaning up the desk and saw that Lu Qianling had not put down her pen. She said, “Stop writing. Let’s go eat. I’ll lend you my notes later. Copy whatever you want.”
Lu Qianling protected her laptop and did not let her touch it. She said in disdain, “No.”
It was not easy for her to enter a learning state, so how could she tolerate others disturbing her?
After she finished writing the last bit of content, Lu Qianling put away the pen.
Perhaps because Meng Chuyuan had sent her dinner last time, Lu Qianling subconsciously took out her phone to take a look when she was packing her bag.
She did not wait for dinner, but she saw Meng Chuyuan’s transfer.
Lu Qianling smiled and accepted the money. Coincidentally, her deskmate saw her silly smile.
“What makes you so happy?
Lu Qianling laughed out loud and said without hiding anything, “I have money now.”
His deskmate asked curiously, “How much?”
She held out a hand, five fingers.
“Fifty thousand?”
“Five thousand.”
Lu Qianling sent Meng Chuyuan a bunch of emojis to express her happy mood after receiving pocket money.
She felt that Meng Chuyuan would definitely find these childish and would not want to reply. She did not know how many times she had scrolled through the screen before she stopped.
When she exited the chat box and was about to go to the canteen to eat, Lu Qianling unexpectedly saw Lu Jinsen’s message. After reading it, her eyes almost fell out.
Lu Qianling widened her eyes and blinked again and again. “F*ck! My second brother came to school. This is unprecedented.”
Seeing that ten minutes had passed since Lu Jinsen sent the message, she became impatient again. “Mengmeng, I’ll go meet my second brother. You can eat by yourself later.”
“Lu Qianling, you’re so mean. How many times have you stood me up?”
Lu Qianling patted her chest and said confidently, “I’ll bring you milk tea when I come back. It’s my treat.”
At the same time, Meng Chuyuan’s dinner was ready.
She took off her apron and walked out to call Madam Lu back. “Mom, finish up.
It’s time to eat.”
Madam Lu seemed to have found some fun in the courtyard that afternoon. After trimming the branches, she even watered the flowerbed and picked some fresh flowers to bottle.
“Oh, I’m so tired.” Madam Lu took off her dirty gloves and massaged her shoulders. “I didn’t expect our yard to be so big.”
She had only been busy for a short while, but her back was actually aching. Meng Chuyuan walked over and helped her up. She replied casually, “I’ll give you a massage after dinner.”
When Madam Lu heard this, she looked up at Meng Chuyuan in surprise. “You know how to give massages?”
She smiled and said, “A little.”
In the past, her grandmother often went to the fields to do farm work, causing
her many physical ailments. Her grandmother could not do heavy work and it
was always Meng Chuyuan who fetched hot water for her grandmother to wash her feet, massage her shoulders, and hammer her back.
Not only that, Meng Chuyuan had specially learned acupuncture in the past.
Madam Lu’s gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan again with some admiration and surprise. “I didn’t expect you to know so much.”
She had not interacted with Meng Chuyuan in private for long. In the end, in this short period of time, she saw Meng Chuyuan cook personally and teach her how to knit a scarf.. Today, she acted calmly in the company and could even teach her how to trim flowers and plants when she came back…
