Chapter 717: Cutting Off Her Path in the British Society

There was only one fish left after eating it at noon.

In the afternoon, Tang Mei cleaned it up and shaved off a few pieces of the thicker and less boney part of the fish's back to marinate.

The rest was done according to Lu Miao's method of making boiled fish in the past. He used the fish head to make soup, then sliced ​​the fish meat into thin slices, and calculated the time to boil the sauerkraut in the soup.

In the evening, the young couple stepped into the house one after another, and a large pot of boiled fish in sour soup was served on the table.

"Oh, are you buying fish today?"

Lu Miao put down his things, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to help serve the rice.

Tang Mei said: "I didn't buy it, your uncle Ling gave it to me."

"Why are you suddenly sending me fish? Is there something you want?"

"You're so smart!"

Tang Mei looked at her angrily, carried the plate and walked past her to the main room.

To make up for the loss of the previous bitter summer, people gain weight at the beginning of autumn, and the key is to eat well.

Tang Mei worked hard all afternoon, and the long table at home was filled with several dishes, including boiled fish, roast duck, braised pork, etc. There should have been something like boiled pork as well.

Since there are people from both the north and the south in my family, we tried to balance the tastes. As long as they are full and eat well, it’s fine.

At the table, Lu Miao picked up two pieces of duck meat with duck skin and ate them. At first, he thought the fat was very fragrant, but later he felt greasy.

Fu Jingyou rolled the spring roll and handed it to her. She shook her head and refused to eat it, so Fu Jingyou stuffed it into his mouth and wrapped it up in one bite.

"What's going on with the Ling family? My aunt hasn't told me yet!"

Tang Mei glanced at Lu Yuanzheng and seeing that he didn't stop her, she told him what happened during the day.

Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Cultural differences equal differences in thinking. You can't see anything right now, but communication becomes difficult over time. They still have a lifetime ahead of them. How are these two going to get along?"

"How is your life? Isn't it all your own doing? Take care of your own family and don't meddle in other people's affairs."

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his brows and nodded seriously at the table to emphasize:

"Don't talk about this matter outside."

"...Isn't this home? I'm not stupid, why would I go out and tell you?"

Lu Miao pouted in dissatisfaction, nudged the child's father with his elbow, and talked about another topic:

"When are you going to buy some more butter?"

"Are you greedy?"

"Yeah, I want to eat hot pot... If I can buy some butter, I'll buy more and boil it all at once. It will last me a long time."

"Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and go check it out."

“Hmm~!”

The whole family chatted with each other while eating.

Perhaps because many households used electricity on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, the power supply was difficult, and the warm-colored light bulb above my head flickered.

The adults continued to eat without much reaction.

Instead, the three little ones all tilted their heads up to look at the light bulb.

"Mom~"

Little Mingxia ran to the table, pointed at the light bulb and said in childish words:

"The lightbulb blinks!"

Teenagers always have wonderful ideas and what they say is so cute.

Lu Miao kissed her and said:

"Yes, the light bulb blinked. Maybe it's tired? Let's have a good meal first, take a shower and go to bed early, so that the light bulb can rest early, okay?"

"Okay~"

Xiao Mingxia nodded softly, ran back to the small table, sat down and continued eating in a serious manner.

………

At night, Fu Jingyou returned to his room after taking a shower in the yard. Lu Miao was reading a travel magazine.

Fu Jingyou leaned the bathtub against the door, sat on the edge of the kang and asked:

"Haven't you gone yet to meet the foreign staff?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"What can I do for you?"

"No, I have to go out early tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early today~"

As she spoke, she closed the book and put it aside. She was the first to spread out the pillow and lie down, patting her side and inviting him to join her.

Fu Jingyou hung the towel behind the door. She had some serious things to do tomorrow, and was afraid that the child would disturb her at night, so he simply took Xiaobao to the room over there.

By the way, I asked my father-in-law for the car keys.

As he was about to go back to his room and close the door, he showed her the key:

"I'll send you off tomorrow so you can get some extra sleep."

"OK!"

Lu Miao smiled and kissed him, then rolled over and lay down again.

Perhaps because he was worried about what would happen the next day, Lu Miao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Fu Jingyou asked what was wrong and she shook her head.

Afraid of disturbing him and preventing him from falling asleep, she tried hard to suppress the urge to turn over. She stayed stiff and rigid for half the night before she fell into a daze and fell into sleep.

He said the night before that he would sleep a little longer in the morning, but the next morning, Lu Miao still got up a little earlier than usual.

She dressed neatly, packed her books, and called Fu Jingyou to go out. Tang Mei had just finished washing the rice.

"You're leaving half an hour early without telling me? The meal hasn't even started yet, why are you leaving at this hour?"

"It's better for me to wait for others there than for others to wait for me. Besides, if I go there earlier, I can read a few more pages of books."

Although the possibility of it coming in handy is slim, there is a saying that it is better to be prepared.

"Well, then buy some food on the way, Xiao Fu, buy her some, do you hear me?"

"knew."

As if there were jackals, tigers and leopards chasing him, Lu Miao trotted all the way to the designated parking spot at the end of the alley.

…

After get off work yesterday, Chen Qinghai informed Lu Miao that he had to leave from the Guoying Press at 7:40 the next morning.

Lu Miao was afraid that something might go wrong, so he kept thinking about it before going to bed and deliberately left home much earlier in the morning.

Fu Jingyou drove her there, and when they arrived at the Guoying Society it was still five minutes before seven o'clock.

However, one of the two cars arranged by the British Agency had already left.

Although the other car was still parked on the side road in front of the Guoying Society, several senior colleagues wearing formal Zhongshan suits were waiting anxiously beside the car.

Lu Miao's heart skipped a beat, thinking something bad was going to happen.

As soon as the car stopped, I didn't have time to listen to Fu Jingyou's instructions to take the fried dough sticks and tea eggs.

She opened the car door, glanced at the road conditions, and ran across the street.

“Here it comes!”

When the old seniors saw her, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you? Weren't we told to leave at 6:30? It'll take a while for us to get to the mansion, and it wouldn't be nice to have the staff waiting for us."

Half past six...!

Lu Miao's heart was alerted, and he quickly responded and apologized:

"Sorry, I'm so sorry, something delayed me..."

"Alright, everyone, hurry up and get in the car. We've already reserved time, so it should still be in time to leave now. We can talk about other things on the way!"

"yes……"

The old seniors were kind and caring towards the younger generation, and none of them had any intention of getting into any further disputes with Lu Miao.

Including Lu Miao, there are a total of eight people on this trip.

But she is the only lesbian.

There were five people in the car including the driver. Perhaps to take care of her, the three old seniors squeezed into the back seat and gave her the passenger seat.

Lu Miao got in the car, feeling embarrassed, guilty and angry.

I feel guilty that such an important occasion was almost ruined because of her.

The one who was angry was that bastard Chen Qinghai.

How dare he blatantly trick her in such an occasion!

This is a determination to cut off her career in the British Society!
