Chapter 125: The plan of the original owner’s adoptive parents!
Lu Yuanzhou immediately noticed the subtle emotions in Su Mengxue's words and the hints in her eyes. She didn't want him to contact her parents, and her relationship with her parents didn't seem to be very good.
But he had already said it, and it would be difficult to take it back. Besides, he was not the kind of person who could only say nice things.
He stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that Su Mengxue was about to ruin their plan, Su Daqiang frowned and scolded her, "You kid, Comrade Xiao Lu meant well, how could you talk to him like that?"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Yuanzhou and said with a smile, "Comrade Lu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. We have two sons and only have her as our daughter, so we spoiled her beyond measure. You must not take it personally."
Lu Yuanzhou scratched his head uncomfortably and said to the man in front of him, "Uncle, it's my fault for not thinking it through. Meng Xue is right. It's really not advisable for you to eat too much at night at your age. Otherwise, it will put a burden on your stomach. She is thinking about your health."
Su Mengxue finally felt relieved after hearing what Lu Yuanzhou said. She thought about finding an opportunity to explain things to him and asking him not to be so polite to them.
Su Daqiang was furious when he thought that the sweet and sour spare ribs in Lu Yuanzhou's hand and the braised pork in the state-owned restaurant were going to be ruined. His brows were tightly twisted together and the anger in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
He raised his hand and pointed at Su Mengxue, his face flushing as he scolded her, "You little girl, we came all this way to see you, and you just gave us a bowl of broken noodles and sent us away, and you didn't even pay for our hotel. Forget all that, and just say Comrade Xiao Lu was kind enough to treat us to a meal, and it didn't cost you anything, so what are you doing? Don't you just hate it when others treat us well?"
Seeing Su Daqiang about to get angry because he couldn't eat the sweet and sour pork ribs, Su Mengxue said with a half-smile, "You're so angry because you can't eat meat. Don't you have the 500 yuan I gave you at noon in your pocket? Oh, it's not just 500 yuan. Grandpa Zhou also gave you 50 yuan at noon. You have money. If you want to eat, just eat. Why do you need others to treat you? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"You...you...you damn girl, what do you mean I need someone else to treat me? Wasn't it Comrade Xiao Lu who offered to treat me? Even if your mother and I agreed to dinner, it was out of courtesy. Look at how you treat your own parents. You're like a different person after coming to the city. I shouldn't have let you come in the first place!"
Su Mengxue looked straight at him and said slowly, "If I don't come to the city, how can you make money from me? Don't think I don't know why you support me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air froze instantly.
Lu Yuanzhou was even more confused after hearing these words. He knew that Su Mengxue was not an ignorant person, but he couldn't understand why she said such harsh words to her parents.
Not only that, at this moment she was like a hedgehog ready to pounce, ready to sting people at any time.
He looked at Su Mengxue, pursed his lips, and asked in a daze: "Mengxue, you?"
Su Mengxue couldn't explain it clearly to Lu Yuanzhou, so she had to reply, "Lu Yuanzhou, you go back first."
Lu Yuanzhou also felt that it was inconvenient for him to stay here and meddle in their family affairs. He nodded, and then said to Su Mengxue's parents: "Uncle and aunt, I'll leave first. I'll come back another day..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Mengxue gave him a look and he quickly shut up.
Seeing Lu Yuanzhou about to leave, Su Daqiang grabbed his hand and said with suppressed anger, "Comrade Lu, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. You've seen how she treats us. We raised her with all our heart and soul, and she's only been in the city for a few days and she's already disliked us. She even said we were trying to sell her for a dowry. What kind of child would say that about their parents?"
Lu Yuanzhou believed that Su Mengxue had her reasons, and since they were his elders, he, as an outsider, didn't want to judge the matter too much.
He whispered, "Uncle, Mengxue is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding here. Please don't think too much. As a family, we should communicate well and be considerate of each other."
Su Daqiang understood the meaning behind Lu Yuanzhou's words. He spat at a nearby location with a "Pah!" and said coldly, "Mutual understanding? I know my own daughter. She just can't stand us getting along. She's afraid we'll take advantage of her. She also hates us to death, lest our country status embarrasses her and hinders her chances of climbing up the social ladder in the city."
When Lu Yuanzhou heard him say this, Su Mengxue's eyes were full of surprise. Although his parents were very strict with him and had high expectations of him since he was a child, they also showed him the love and care he deserved.
It was the first time that he saw strong malice towards his own child in the eyes of an elder. He instantly understood why Su Mengxue was not close to her parents. She must have grown up without love, or perhaps she was simply brought up by scolding.
While he felt sorry for Su Mengxue, he was also angry on her behalf.
He said to the man in front of him who was aggressive and still noisy, "Uncle, you are the elder, and there are many things that are not my turn to say, but I really can't stand your attitude towards Meng Xue. You are really going too far. How can you say such things about your own daughter!"
Seeing that Lu Yuanzhou defended Su Mengxue so much and listened to her, Su Daqiang knew that he could not get any advantage from him.
He raised his eyebrows. Since they could not gain any benefits from Su Mengxue, he could not let this dead girl live a good life on her own.
He made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Whether it was my words that were harsh or her work that was clumsy, she knows it in her heart. Her mother and I are because of her..."
Wu Xianghong saw that Su Mengxue had no reaction when she heard this, and her eyes sank. Through their contact that day, she felt that Su Mengxue would not care at all about what they said about her and Gu Yunting, even in front of Lu Yuanzhou.
If Su Daqiang really said it out loud and they broke up, how would they get her to record her words in the future? What if Lu Yuanzhou really wanted to marry her, and they told him, and he ran away?
She saw that Lu Yuanzhou was a gentle and polite person, so she thought it was possible that he would give them a betrothal gift.
She stopped him in time and shouted, "Su Daqiang, are you so angry that you've lost your mind? What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up right now."
Su Daqiang is a well-known brainless person in the village. He usually listens to Wu Xianghong in everything. When he heard her say that, although he didn't understand, he still obediently shut up.
Wu Xianghong looked at Lu Yuanzhou with a smile and asked hurriedly, "Yuanzhou, do you like our Mengxue?"
"Auntie, you..." Lu Yuanzhou didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. His heart tightened and he didn't know what to say.
Wu Xianghong saw Lu Yuanzhou blush and instantly understood everything. She asked again, "Yuanzhou, I just heard Mengxue call you Doctor Lu. What do your parents do for a living?"
"My father is engaged in scientific research, and my mother..."
"Why don't you just ask directly how much he can give as a betrothal gift if I marry him?"
Before Lu Yuanzhou finished speaking, Su Mengxue glanced at Wu Xianghong and spoke slowly in a drawling tone.
