Chapter 91: Just give her support

The moment Mother Lu saw Meng Chuyuan turn on the speakerphone, she covered her ears with her hands and complained, "Why are you turning on the speakerphone? I don't want to listen."

"Let's listen to what he has to say." Lu Qingye called his mother, so it must have nothing to do with her.

However, Mother Lu was not very willing to communicate with Lu Qingye now, so she just threw it to her.

Meng Chuyuan could only blame herself for coming back at the wrong time and witnessing this scene, but now she couldn't escape even if she wanted to, so she could only sit down calmly and help them resolve the conflict.

Before Lu Qingye could say anything, his mother couldn't help but complain to Meng Chuyuan, "This father and son have left our company alone to expand overseas projects, and now they want me to join them. It's really outrageous."

Lu Qingye: "..."

Meng Chuyuan: "Mom, please calm down first."

After Meng Chuyuan calmed down Mother Lu, Lu Qingye spoke slowly on the other end of the phone: "Mom, I just want you to come over and take a look."

The request he made was neither high nor excessive, but somehow it took on a different meaning when it came out of his mother's mouth.

She snorted disdainfully: "You sound nice, but you must have something to do to trick me in here? I don't know anything and can't help you."

Lu's mother is the youngest daughter of the Lin family. She has three older brothers. She has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. She has never suffered hardship or done heavy work.

The Lin family and the Lu family were a good match, and she and Lu Qingye's father fell in love with each other. She married him right after graduating from university. After marriage, she became a full-time housewife, taking care of her husband and children at home.

If she, who has absolutely no social work experience, were to go to the company, she wouldn't be able to do anything and might even cause trouble for Lu Qingye and the others.

Lu Qingye patiently explained to her: "When they report their work, just listen. If you don't understand anything, just ask the secretary."

"Your wife is here, why don't you ask her to go?"

“…” Meng Chuyuan, who was suddenly mentioned, felt a little embarrassed.

The mother and son should just talk about the matter, why mention her?

Lu Qingye was silent for two or three seconds before his cold voice rang out again: "She just finished recording the show, can't you let her rest for a while?"

He didn't tell Meng Chuyuan about this right away, not only because he wanted her to have a good rest, but also because he didn't want to trouble her too much.

After all, she and Lu Jinsen would not be back for a few days before they had to set off to record the show, and he would still need his mother to show up at that time.

He just wanted to let his mother take the job directly, which would be easier.

Mother Lu showed no sign of restraint in front of Meng Chuyuan, and said to Lu Qingye with a tone of disdain: "You just forgot your mother now that you have a wife."

Lu Qingye: "..."

The two were deadlocked and finally fell into an awkward situation.

Meng Chuyuan noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She turned to look at Mother Lu and said gently, "Mom, how about I go to the company with you tomorrow?"

Mother Lu still refused to give in: "If you want to go, go by yourself."

Meng Chuyuan put his phone on the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Mother Lu, saying softly, "Then can you accompany me tomorrow? If anything happens, just leave it to me and I'll handle it for you, okay?"

Meng Chuyuan had never done business before, and she was a novice in this area, but she did not feel any pressure.

In order to get Mother Lu to agree, she was willing to be a runner-up.

Mother Lu remained silent, seeming a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan felt that she had a chance to persuade her, so she coaxed and lied, "Mom, I haven't been to the company yet. Can you just accompany me to visit and take care of some company matters? You don't have to do anything, just support me."

Fortunately, it was evening and Lu Qingye had already gotten off work, otherwise he wouldn't have had the patience to make this call.

He and Meng Chuyuan were both waiting for their mother to speak.

After a while, Mother Lu responded calmly: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. Since we're going to the company, I need to see what to wear tomorrow."

After saying that, Mother Lu put down the cup in her hand, stood up and went back to the bedroom, completely forgetting that she was still talking to Lu Qingye on the phone.

After Meng Chuyuan watched Lu's mother walk away, she lowered her eyes to stare at her phone, silently picked it up and turned off the speakerphone.

"Lu Qingye, are you still there?"

He hummed softly, his voice a little magnetic: "Thank you for just now."

Meng Chuyuan didn't respond to his thank you and went straight to the next topic: "You should be free now, right? I want to discuss something with you."

Lu Qingye: "You say."

"I'm taking your sister to school today. The journey is quite long, so I just took a walk around the school and found quite a few school district houses with good environments. I want to rent a house there for your sister. What do you think?"

Lu Qianling is his sister after all. Meng Chuyuan felt that he should discuss this matter with him and hear his opinions.

Lu Qingye was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the thing she was discussing with him was Lu Qianling.

However, he had also considered the issue of school district housing at the beginning. Perhaps in his eyes, Lu Qianling was still young, and it was not appropriate for her to live outside alone.

He thought for a moment and replied to Meng Chuyuan: "She can't take care of herself."

Meng Chuyuan: "I see there are quite a lot of restaurants nearby. She can always go out to eat when she's hungry. If you're still worried, you can hire a nanny or a part-time worker for her. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"She doesn't like attending classes yet." Lu Qianling not only can't take care of herself, but also lacks self-discipline. If she is out of their sight and control, she doesn't know what kind of life she will lead outside alone.

At least when she lived at home, there was someone watching over her and urging her to go to school.

Meng Chuyuan said confidently: "Don't worry about this, she will go to class."

"Did you persuade her to go to class these days?" Lu Qingye suddenly felt a little confused, not quite understanding what the story behind her words was.

When he was at home, Lu Qianling didn't necessarily attend classes properly, and occasionally played tricks under his nose. He was a little curious about how Meng Chuyuan did it.

"How can you say it's persuasion? She did it of her own free will."

Lu Qingye: "..."

Although he didn't know what method Meng Chuyuan used, Lu Qianling was indeed in school these days and did not miss a single class.

"As long as she is willing to attend class." Since the method worked, Lu Qingye didn't want to know the reason.

Meng Chuyuan was about to end the call with him when she suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Qingye, "By the way, don't worry about her pocket money. I'll give it to her later."

Lu Qingye frowned slightly, his deep eyes shrouded in a layer of coldness. He asked doubtfully: "Did she ask you for money?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not what you think." Meng Chuyuan explained to him: "She is willing to give me face, so naturally I should give her this pocket money."
