Chapter 94: Easily Controlled

It just so happened that Lu's mother asked about this matter, so Meng Chuyuan also hinted at it.

Mother Lu was eating with great relish just now, but when she heard what Meng Chuyuan said, she was suddenly stunned, her eyes fixed dully on the ribs on her chopsticks.

She blinked slightly and said timidly: "She didn't tell me that she couldn't eat it."

Meng Chuyuan was surprised when she heard Mother Lu's answer, but she didn't find fault. She said amiably, "Then when she comes back next time, you can take the initiative to ask her about her situation at school and show some concern for her, okay?"

Meng Chuyuan thought that this was the most basic daily care, and she had to let Lu's mother learn from the most basic part.

Although she could bring Lu Qianling temporary care and warmth, these could not replace the love of parents.

Meng Chuyuan spoke of this matter very naturally, as if he was talking about the nice weather today, but it made Lu Jinsen and his mother fall into deep thought.

If Meng Chuyuan hadn't accidentally mentioned this to Lu's mother, she might not have remembered that she is a mother and occasionally needs to take the initiative to care for her children.

Mother Lu lowered her head in shame and hummed softly.

Seeing that she understood, Meng Chuyuan's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a faint smile: "She is still young, let's pay more attention to her."

Mother Lu nodded affirmatively and said seriously, "You're right. Pay more attention to that girl so that she won't always suspect that I'm not her biological mother."

"..." Seeing his mother's reaction, Lu Jinsen was a little surprised.

My mother is usually very sharp-tongued and never leaves anyone any room for maneuver when she speaks. I don’t know what happened today, but she was easily controlled by Meng Chuyuan.

Lu Jinsen was thinking, if only he were a few years younger, maybe he could enjoy the same treatment as Lu Qianling, get less scolding, more care and praise, and maybe he would be more confident.

——

In the early morning, the green plants in the yard were wet with mist and the air was slightly humid.

Meng Chuyuan got up early again today to make breakfast for Lu Qianling, and also made breakfast for everyone.

Mother Lu also got up early. Maybe because she had to go to the company today, she was nervous. She got up early in the morning in a restless mood, spread a yoga mat in the living room, and began to meditate.

"Has the sun risen from the west? The beautiful Ms. Lin actually got up so early?" Lu Qianling came down from upstairs and saw her mother meditating.

Seeing that her mother ignored her, Lu Qianling silently took a detour. When she smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen, she ran straight to the restaurant.

Lu Qianling put her schoolbag on the chair, took a piece of pumpkin pie to eat, then walked to the kitchen and looked at Meng Chuyuan who was still busy.

"What's wrong with my mother?" Lu Qianling asked curiously.

Meng Chuyuan looked back at the living room and said softly, "Maybe I have to go to the company later, so I'm adjusting my mentality."

"She's going to the company?"

Lu Qianling looked puzzled and said in disbelief, "That's impossible? Dad and Big Brother are so busy with the company that they're away from home every day. They're flying around everywhere. My mom hates people from that place the most."

After hearing this, Meng Chuyuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It's true. I'll take you to school later, and then we'll go to the company."

She originally wanted to send Lu Qianling off and then come back to pick up Lu's mother to go to the company, but when she came down to make breakfast, Lu's mother was already in this state in the living room.

Lu Qianling: "Are you still going to take me to school today?"

"I have to. If I hadn't seen you enter the school gate today, how could I feel comfortable transferring the money to you later?"

When Lu Qianling heard that Meng Chuyuan was going to transfer money to her today, she opened her eyes wide with a hint of joy in them.

Lu Qianling suddenly hugged her from behind and said excitedly: "Meng Xiaomei, you are just like my real sister."

"Sister and sister, can you please respect the address?" Meng Chuyuan pulled her away and said with some disgust: "Your hands are covered in oil, go wash them quickly."

Mother Lu sat for a while, but felt that the time was not enough, so she immediately stood up and went back to the bedroom to change clothes and put on makeup.

After Lu Qianling and Meng Chuyuan finished breakfast, they still hadn't seen her come out of the bedroom.

Meng Chuyuan simply cleaned up the table, then picked up Lu Qianling's schoolbag, sent her to school first, and then came back.

Otherwise, it’s so early now. Even if I go directly to the company after sending Lu Qianling, I probably won’t be able to get to work so soon.

Mother Lu put on the clothes she had picked out yesterday and sat in front of the dressing table, wondering which foundation, lipstick and eye shadow to use.

She usually takes her time to go out, but most of the time she goes out to meet acquaintances, so she just wears makeup as she pleases.

She thought that she would be going to the company soon and would meet different people, so this makeup had to not only last longer but also not be too perfunctory, otherwise it would seem that she did not have the temperament to be a leader.

During the time that Meng Chuyuan was out, Lu's mother spent nearly an hour putting on her makeup and still couldn't finish it. She looked a bit like a novice, hesitant with every step.

When Meng Chuyuan came back, she changed into a more professional suit to look more formal, then put on some light makeup and tidied her hair.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she took the initiative to come down to find Lu's mother.

Meng Chuyuan came to her bedroom and knocked on the door gently: "Mom, are you done?"

"The door is not locked, just come in."

Hearing her letting him in, Meng Chuyuan opened the door and walked in generously.

Mother Lu had just reached the stage of retouching her face. When she saw Meng Chuyuan walk in, she suddenly felt a little envious of her youthful face when she saw her appear with her makeup done.

After a while, Mother Lu quickly asked her to come over: "You've come just in time. Please help me check the positions of the highlights and shadows."

"You want me to help you with your face?"

Mother Lu handed her the contouring palette and said with confidence, "You can figure out how to do it properly."

The two were very close to each other. Meng Chuyuan half bent over, reached out and lifted her chin, looked at her carefully for a while, first slightly diluted the blush on her front, and then began to contour her face.

Seeing Meng Chuyuan being so serious, Lu's mother also cooperated very well.

Not long after, Meng Chuyuan put down the makeup brush in her hand.

"Okay," she said.

Meng Chuyuan placed the contouring palette and brush on the table, then stepped aside to let Mother Lu look in the mirror herself.

Mother Lu felt that after she had retouched her face, it was as if her makeup effect was completely different from before.

"Mom, you can choose a lighter shade of lipstick." She saw that the clothes Lu's mother was wearing today were light-colored, and a lipstick with a softer color would be just right.

After listening to Meng Chuyuan's advice, Lu's mother finally chose a lipstick with a slightly lower saturation.

Mother Lu was quite satisfied with her makeup today. She usually didn't take it so seriously as she did now. She looked at herself in the mirror happily, and her smile never shrugged.

She tilted her head to look at Meng Chuyuan and said confidently, "Do I look ten years younger?"
