Meng Chuyuan was a recognized abandoned wife in the wealthy circles. Her husband was rarely home, and her brother-in-law and mother-in-law were both notoriously bad-tempered.
Everyone laughed...
Chapter 429: There is no reason for a husband and wife to live separately
Lin Youjuan was not surprised at all that Lu Qingye had such an idea. She looked at Lu Qingye calmly and said, "I have no objection if you want to move."
But the next second, Lin Youjuan glanced at Meng Chuyuan and asked calmly and gently, "Where's Xiao Meng? Do you want to move too?"
"..." Faced with the elder's sudden question, Meng Chuyuan had no choice but to raise his head, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression, and a feeling of being at a loss.
She hadn't even thought about that.
Why throw this question to her?
If she said she didn't want to move, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Lu Qingye?
But if she gave in to Lu Qingye's wishes, would Lin Youjuan think that she was dissatisfied with living here or didn't want to live with her elders?
Noticing Meng Chuyuan's expression of being somewhat bewildered and embarrassed, Lu Qingye spoke up to help her out: "Mom, since you have no objection, then don't ask. If I move out, she must move with me."
They are husband and wife, there is no reason for them to live separately.
"I'm just asking..." Lin Youjuan laughed, as if trying to cover up her earlier rash behavior. Her tone was filled with a hint of complaint and reluctance. "You're at work all day and won't be back until the evening. I'm worried that Xiao Meng will be bored at home alone! But if you decide to move, then go ahead. Mom respects your opinion."
Considering that Lu Qingye had just returned to China and the two of them had not had much time to spend alone together after their marriage, Lin Youjuan was quite supportive of their desire to move back home, although she was a little reluctant.
In fact, before Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qingye got married, he didn't live here because it was too far from the company, and he often worked overtime and didn't want to go back and forth at all.
If Meng Chuyuan didn't live here, he wouldn't have spent an hour rushing back after work every day.
After this topic ended, Meng Chuyuan's thoughts were still confused, as if he had participated in what had just happened, but also as if he had not participated.
By the time they were halfway through their meal, Lu Jinsen was already full.
"Are you full?" Lin Youjuan was a little surprised when she saw Lu Jinsen put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Yeah." Lu Jinsen had been eating. If Lin Youjuan hadn't insisted on bringing the topic to him, he would have finished eating long ago.
After a while, Lin Youjuan also said that she was full. She moved to the living room and asked Lu Qingye and Meng Chuyuan to eat slowly.
However, Lu Jinsen did not leave his seat. He sat beside him properly, his eyes falling on Lu Qingye intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes flickering as if he had something to say.
Lu Qingye vaguely felt Lu Jinsen's gaze. He raised his eyes inadvertently and saw Lu Jinsen looking at him.
After realizing that his little thoughts were exposed, Lu Jinsen was stunned and looked a little panicked.
Lu Qingye looked at him calmly and said in a low voice: "You are looking at me like this, do you have something to say?"
Lu Jinsen was originally hesitant about whether to ask, but before he could think it over, Lu Qingye had already noticed and took the initiative to ask. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I do have something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead." Lu Qingye put down his cutlery gracefully, sat upright, and prepared to listen attentively.
Lin Youjuan left as soon as she had eaten. Now, apart from the two brothers, only Meng Chuyuan was left.
Noticing the formal atmosphere of their conversation, Meng Chuyuan tactfully asked before they began, "Do you need me to step aside?"
Seeing that she still had half a bowl of soup left, Lu Jinsen asked Meng Chuyuan to stay. "No, it's not a big deal. Just sit here and eat."
Meng Chuyuan said "Oh" lightly and lowered his head to continue drinking the soup.
After a while, Lu Jinsen expressed his doubts: "Brother, I want to ask, have you invested in film and television dramas recently?"
Lu Qingye responded decisively: "No."
After hearing Lu Qingye's personal answer, Lu Jinsen's eyes darkened and his brows twitched slightly, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
No?
How is that possible!
Perhaps because Lu Jinsen hadn't spoken for a while, Lu Qingye patiently asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"My agent handed me a script this afternoon and told me to pick any role I wanted." Lu Jinsen paused, looked up at Lu Qingye, and said truthfully, "And the biggest investor in this drama is Yang Yi. I thought he was your assistant..."
Having just heard Lu Qingye's straightforward answer, he was no longer sure of his own judgment.
Lu Qingye didn't know about this, and he didn't have a single doubt, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Meng Chuyuan, who wasn't supposed to be involved in this discussion, suddenly heard Lu Jinsen's words. She subconsciously put down her bowl and couldn't help but interrupt, "There's no duplication of names. I invested in this drama under Assistant Yang's name."
After he finished speaking, Lu Qingye and Lu Jinsen looked at Meng Chuyuan at the same time, both with expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Lu Qingye's eyes wandered over Meng Chuyuan's face. He was silent for a moment before he asked, "Did you vote?"
