At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 549 He Wants to Steal My Girlfriend
Lu Yuanqing was stunned, his eyes evasive. He smiled a little unnaturally, "Sisi and I have only known each other for a short time, and we don't know each other well yet. It's a bit early to talk about getting engaged now.
Don’t you think so, Sisi?”
Deng Sisi's smile faltered, and she reluctantly said, "Yes, Sister Mengmeng, I'm still young, and Brother Yuanqing and I are just..."
Lu Yuanqing added, "We're just friends now. Sisi and my cousin are good friends. I grew up abroad and don't have many friends in China, so I treat my cousin's friends as my own friends."
The more sincere his words were, the uglier Deng Sisi's face became.
My mother could see that he didn't want to admit that Deng Sisi was his serious girlfriend. The smile on her face suddenly faded a lot. "Xiao Lu, this gift is really too expensive. Not to mention that you and Sisi are just friends, even if it's her fiancé, I can't accept such an expensive gift from my aunt.
Although I am Sisi's aunt, I am not her biological mother after all." She paused and said, "Even if you two are confirmed in your relationship, it would be inappropriate for me, as her aunt, to accept such an expensive birthday gift. You should take it back."
Lu Yuanqing wanted to say something else, but Xiao Shiqiu spoke slowly from the side. He said half-jokingly, "Young Master Lu has already outshined me, the future son-in-law, the first time he came to visit. He didn't even give me any face at all."
When it comes to smoothing things over, my dad is the best. He picked up the box with a smile and patted Lu Yuanqing's shoulder affectionately, "Xiao Lu, since you're here, let's have a quick meal together. It's almost time, let's go to the restaurant." After saying that, he stuffed the box back into his backpack and invited everyone to go to the hotel together.
The six of us drove three cars. On the way, I asked Xiao Shiqiu, "What do you think Lu Yuanqing meant by this?"
"It's hard to say. I feel like he's eager to get your family's approval, but doesn't want to spend time on Deng Sisi. Or maybe he doesn't want your family to think that he likes Deng Sisi. His target should be you.
He's probably doing these things to get your attention." Xiao Shiqiu explained it to me seriously.
My excitement instantly swelled, and I touched my smooth face and said, "He's secretly in love with me to this extent? He's trying to steal your girl by getting close to Deng Sisi?"
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at me and said, "You're overthinking it. I always thought his target was me."
"So he wants to steal my girl?" I was a little angry. It's okay for my Lao Xiao to be missed by women, but why is he missed by men as well?
"He won't turn you into a lesbian, will he?" I was slapped on the head before I could finish my words. "What's going on in the heads of you girls these days? Why do you always think about that?
What I mean is that I can always sense that Lu Yuanqing has an inexplicable hostility towards me."
Xiao Shiqiu told me that ever since he started to suspect Lu Yuanqing, he has been having people investigate him.
What can be confirmed now is that Xiao Shiqiu and the Lu family really have no grudges, not even indirect conflicts.
However, his people accidentally found out that Lu Yuanqing and Si Guanting knew each other. Of course, they were just acquaintances. A few days ago, when Lu Yuanqing returned to City A, he had dinner with friends in a restaurant.
Someone saw Si Kouting eating in that restaurant. Although the two didn't speak, when their eyes met, the person said that they must know each other.
