Chapter 63
Song Beibei gives gifts
Half an hour later, Song Beibei, accompanied by her brother Song Wenli, arrived at Lu's house.
She didn't wear the white dress she chose last time, but instead wore a military green suit, which gave people a pure and well-behaved feeling...
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xu Mindong. She thought she had received an invitation from the Lu family, so she greeted her with a smile.
"Aunt Gu, you also invited Sister Xu." She smiled respectfully and appropriately.
Gu Wanru felt a little embarrassed.
But she still followed Song Beibei's wishes and nodded.
Xu Mindong's heart finally settled down, and he gave Song Beibei a grateful smile.
"Hello, grandma. This is the tea produced in the local tea mountain that I brought from Ningcheng. It's not very valuable, but it's just a token of my appreciation." Song Beibei took out a bag of tea from her canvas bag.
Then she took out a big bag of dates and gave it to Gu Wanru.
"Aunt Gu, these are the red dates grown by my aunt. They are dried in the sun and are good for the skin if you soak them in water." She smiled.
The pen given to Lu Jingjing was a Hero brand pen.
Lu Baiting's was a cigarette.
Lian Lu Yuetang received a portion of fried rice with soybeans.
Song Beibei said, "Aunt Gu, please don't despise me. I know these are not high-end things, but they are all small gifts that Beibei brought from home."
"How could that be?" Gu Wanru said with a smile, "Thanks to you for being so considerate. You are a rare good kid."
To be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you don’t have to be too pretty, but you can’t be too shabby to be presentable either.
Song Beibei is good like this.
She is not outstanding, but also does not have the shyness of a small town girl.
She quite likes it.
Only Lu Jingjing looked unhappy: "I have a lot of pens. This brand is cheap and can be bought anywhere. I don't need it. I'll give it back to you."
"Jingjing, what's your attitude?"
Gu Wanru scolded her daughter.
"That's right. I knew at first glance that you bought them in a department store. Grandma's tea and your red dates, you didn't even change the ingredients. You even pretended that they were from your hometown. You're lying." Lu Jingjing said angrily.
"Shut up!"
Gu Wanru ran over, covered her daughter's mouth, and apologized to Song Beibei repeatedly.
"Don't worry about it. Jingjing is always outspoken and has no ill intentions." She said to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Humph, these are all brought by my sister from Ningcheng. Just because they are the same, can we be sure that she bought them in advance? Even if she bought them, how did she know to come here for a blind date? You are too bullying, Beibei, let's go--"
Song Wenli was very angry and wanted to take his sister away on the spot.
But Song Beibei stood firm, holding her brother's wrist with her backhand, and said with resentment: "It's my fault. I should have changed to a different one when I first came. If you don't like this pen, I'll give this one to you."
As she spoke, Song Beibei took off a red rope bracelet from her wrist.
There is a little golden pig on it.
"Beibei, are you crazy? That is a valuable gift that Dad carefully selected and made for you!" Song Wenli exploded.
Pop.
Gu Wanru slapped Lu Jingjing hard, shaking with anger: "Jingjing, you are too immature. Learn from Beibei. Look how sensible she is. I'm afraid she is not even as good as you."
Lu Jingjing's eyes bulged out after being beaten. She covered her red and swollen face, stamped her feet fiercely and shouted, "I don't like her. I just don't like her. If she wants to be my sister-in-law, I will run away from home."
After saying that, she ran away angrily.
This scene stunned Xu Mindong and frightened Song Beibei so much that tears came suddenly and a few crystal tears hung in the corners of her eyes and fell down.
“…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I gave you the gift purely as a token of my appreciation for our first meeting. I didn’t expect to anger little sister Jingjing.” She raised the back of her hand to wipe away her tears.
This scene instantly aroused Gu Wanru's heartache and also gave rise to a slight liking for her.
"Don't worry about it. The price of a gift doesn't matter, it's the thought that counts. Don't bother with Jingjing. I've spoiled her. Come on, I'll take you to the inner room."
Gu Wanru took Song Beibei to the room and chatted for a while.
It was not until this moment that Xu Mindong realized how powerful Song Beibei was. She easily won the favor of Gu Wanru. She was indeed an expert among experts.
She felt a little ashamed of herself.
However, as long as she could kill the lilies, she didn't mind.
So she went to the kitchen and showed off to Hu Ouhua: "You want to seduce Captain Lu, but you are doomed to fail. Look at the kind of opponent you are facing."
Hu Ou Hua put the prepared sauce aside and prepared to fry the potatoes.
Seeing Xu Mindong looking for trouble again, she said unhappily, "I don't eat dog meat because it's loyal. You should be a loyal dog to your Song Beibei. Let's see what's left after you lick it to the end. Okay, the kitchen is a restricted area. No outsiders allowed. Please come in."
"You called me a dog again!"
Xu Mindong was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone, but Liu Mei was holding a basin of boiling water and he was so scared that he kept dodging for fear of getting burned.
"Comrade Xu, the kitchen is greasy and wet. You should go outside and take a rest. Dinner will be served soon." Liu Mei urged.
Xu Mindong glared at Hu Ouhua hatefully, then turned and walked out.
Not long after the meal was ready, Gu Wanru brought the coaxed Song Beibei to the table.
When Lu Baiting entered the room, he glanced at Song Beibei who was sitting obediently at the table.
No feeling.
He glanced sideways to see his son's reaction.
Lu Yuetang didn't look at Song Beibei the whole time. Instead, he warmly entertained Xie Guzhi, arranged for him to sit next to his father, and sat next to him himself.
Everyone in the room was present, except Lu Jingjing who didn't want to see Song Beibei.
In response, Gu Wanru said unhappily, "Let her do whatever she wants. If she wants to eat, she eats. If she doesn't eat, she'll be hungry. What's wrong with her doing this all day long?"
Liu Mei even wanted to bring food into the house, but was stopped by her.
"Enjoy your meal." As soon as Lu Baiting opened his mouth, everyone shut up and quietly got to the point.
Gu Wanru saw that Lu Yuetang was the farthest away from Song Beibei and couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to change seats, she saw Lu Yuetang speak up on his own, "Teacher, is there anything you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
As he spoke, Lu Yuetang picked up a pair of long chopsticks.
Xie Guzhi knew very well that this brat was using him as a shield, but he still took a careful look at the dishes on the table and found that they were all common in hotels. He immediately lost his appetite.
He smiled and said, "You know, we don't eat much. You young guys have big appetites. Eat more and don't bother an old man like me..."
Gu Wanru picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl, saying with a smile, "Mr. Xie, this is specially cooked for you by Chef Liu, the chef from Ningcheng. Try it."
Liu Chuan stood up and announced the names of the dishes: "Squirrel fish is the best, and this braised loach is also the most popular dish in the hotel, and this braised pork..."
Xu Mindong, who was sitting next to Song Beibei, looked proud.
This is all thanks to her.
I wonder how the Lu family will thank her later.
