Chapter 124: The original owner’s adoptive parents met Lu Yuanzhou by chance!
Su Mengxue noticed that he was staring at her, and she sensed the hidden meaning in his words. She asked, "Did you come back just to ask me this?"
Su Daqiang averted his gaze guiltily and replied, "What are you talking about? Didn't I already tell you the reason? I'm just asking this because I care about you. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Su Mengxue was even more convinced that they had come back with a purpose. She scoffed, "We both know how you've treated me over the years. There's no one else here, so don't be so hypocritical."
Su Daqiang rolled his eyes at her angrily: "You dead girl, your mother and I provided you with food and drink and raised you to adulthood. Even if we didn't contribute anything, we did work hard. How can you be so ungrateful?"
Su Mengxue watched the noodles being served. She was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong looked at each other for a few seconds and noticed Su Mengxue's caution. In order not to make her suspicious, they decided to hold back for the time being and find another opportunity to bring up the topic.
After the three of them finished their noodles, Su Mengxue stood up, paid the bill and said she wanted to go back, but was stopped by Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong.
Su Mengxue knew they were holding back on other things, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have anything else to talk to me about?"
To hide her inner guilt, Wu Xianghong raised her voice slightly and said, "You are such an irritating girl. We have finally come to the city, don't you just spend some time with us? Okay, take us around the neighborhood."
In order to avoid Su Mengxue's rejection, Wu Xianghong rushed out of the door first, and Su Daqiang followed closely behind.
Su Mengxue wanted to see what they were up to, so she agreed. As soon as the three of them walked out of the state-owned restaurant, Su Mengxue saw Lu Yuanzhou walking towards her on the street.
She felt bad in her heart. If they knew that she and Lu Yuanzhou knew each other, it would cause a lot of trouble. Besides, she knew Lu Yuanzhou's character, and Su Mengxue was afraid that he would suffer if he was too enthusiastic towards these two people.
So she hurriedly said to them, "I left something behind. Wait for me here."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the store, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard that familiar and gentle voice.
"Mengxue, why are you here?"
Lu Yuanzhou still found her. Su Mengxue sighed, then turned around and smiled at him: "Doctor Lu, what a coincidence."
Of course she saw the thermos in Lu Yuanzhou's hand. He came specially to bring her food, but she didn't want Su Daqiang and the others to know that they were familiar with each other, so she had to deliberately keep some distance from him in her words.
After she finished speaking, she gave Lu Yuanzhou a look, signaling him to go first.
But it was the first time that Lu Yuanzhou saw other people around Su Mengxue, especially people of this age. He easily guessed their identities from their clothes. His attention was focused on the two of them, and he didn't notice the hints Su Mengxue gave him again and again.
Instead, it was Wu Xianghong who noticed something was wrong with Su Mengxue. She looked the man up and down before asking politely, "Young comrade, are you acquainted with my Mengxue?"
When Lu Yuanzhou heard her say this, he quickly replied: "Uncle and aunt, you are Mengxue's parents, right? Mengxue and I are friends, my name is Lu Yuanzhou."
It turned out that he was Lu Yuanzhou. The smile on Wu Xianghong's face became even wider. They both had heard from that man that there was a man in Jiangbei who liked Su Mengxue, and they also knew that his name was Lu Yuanzhou.
She softened her voice and said, "My daughter Mengxue has only been in Jiangbei for a short time, but she already has acquaintances here. This is really beyond my expectation. Comrade Xiao Lu, are you from Jiangbei?"
Lu Yuanzhou nodded and replied, "Yes, Auntie, you can just call me Yuanzhou from now on."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you Yuanzhou from now on."
Su Daqiang also smiled happily: "Young man, my daughter Mengxue has a stubborn temper. She has caused you a lot of trouble here, right? Her mother and I are also worried about her, so we came to the city to see her."
Lu Yuanzhou, who was unaware of the situation, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Uncle and aunt, Meng Xueren is a very good person. She has never caused me any trouble. You don't have to worry about her."
Su Mengxue felt tired for Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong when she heard them speaking so politely.
She thought she couldn't let them continue chatting, so she looked at Lu Yuanzhou and said, "Lu Yuanzhou, you have something else to do, right? You should go first."
Before she could even send a hint of advice, she saw Lu Yuanzhou waving the thermos in his hand at her and saying with a smile, "I don't have anything else to do. I just made some sweet and sour spare ribs at home. I thought you might like it, so I brought it over to you."
Su Mengxue felt that Lu Yuanzhou was being incredibly stupid today, completely unaware of her deliberate alienation. She said indifferently, "Lu Yuanzhou, thank you for your kindness, but I've already eaten. You can take these back."
Lu Yuanzhou then noticed Su Mengxue's abnormality. He looked at her with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Mengxue, what's wrong with you today? I brought this specially for you, why don't you eat it?"
Before Su Mengxue could say anything, Su Daqiang spoke first: "Mengxue, how could you do such a thing? Comrade Xiao Lu brought it to you specially. How could you refuse his kindness and let him take it back?"
He immediately added, "How about this, if you don't want to eat it, your mom and I will. Anyway, we can't let someone's kindness go to waste."
Su Mengxue had expected him to say that, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Lu Yuanzhou didn't expect him to say that. After a brief pause, he realized that the conditions in the countryside were indeed not as good as those in the city. He quickly handed the thermos bucket to him with both hands and said with a smile, "Uncle and aunt, eat it while it's hot. If you like it, I'll ask my aunt at home to make it for you later."
Su Daqiang took it and was about to open the lid when he heard Wu Xianghong scold him, "Daqiang, what are you doing? We're on the street. Are you going to eat here? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Comrade Xiao Lu? It's like we country bumpkins have never seen food before."
Su Daqiang realized what Wu Xianghong meant. Although he was a little reluctant, he pushed the thermos bucket back to Lu Yuanzhou and said, "Comrade Lu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I didn't think much of it. I just didn't want to waste your kindness."
Lu Yuanzhou immediately said, "Uncle and aunt, please don't say that. It makes me feel embarrassed."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the state-owned restaurant in front of him, his eyes lighting up as he added, "Uncle and aunt, I haven't eaten yet either. How about we go in and have something to eat? You can just consider it as keeping me company, okay? Besides, it's not easy for you to come to Jiangbei, so I should also do my best to be a good host."
Su Daqiang and Wu Xianghong were waiting for this. They were just about to politely decline before agreeing when they heard Su Mengxue say, "Lu Yuanzhou, if you haven't eaten yet, go home and eat. They just ate and are tired from the ride. I have to take them back to the hotel to rest."
As she said that, she snatched the thermos from Su Daqiang's hand and stuffed it into Lu Yuanzhou's hand, then used her eyes to remind him not to meddle in other people's business.
