This was rather strange; Shen Shiqing felt as if something in her brain had been activated.
But she couldn't say it.
But she clearly saw Jiang Qingru's hand holding the chopsticks tremble.
Did I say something wrong?
Shen Shiqing himself didn't know how he managed to say those words.
"Really?" Shen Kuang herself had forgotten. "I was wrong, sister. I'll remember next time."
"Come on, Qingqing, eat more. Mom made a lot." Jiang Qingru kept piling food into her bowl, and soon it was piled up like a small mountain.
"Okay, Mom, that's enough, I'm going to be stuffed." Shen Shiqing replied with a smile, "Even though it's delicious, you can't eat too much at once."
“Okay, then help yourself to whatever you want to eat.” Jiang Qingru said, her gaze falling on Lu Jingchu next to Shen Shiqing, “Little Lu too.”
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Lu Jingchu still took great care of Shen Shiqing while eating, which everyone noticed, especially Jiang Qingru, who grew to like Lu Jingchu more and more.
Lu Jingchu is a celebrity, she knows that. Jiang Qingru, who works in the arts, has also seen some of Lu Jingchu's films and admires his work.
Now that we've gotten to know him up close, he seems to be a very nice person, and a good match for her.
Jiang Qingru became more and more satisfied with what she saw.
After finishing the meal, Lu Jingchu was about to wash the dishes, but it was hardly his turn.
There's no way the guests are asked to do any work.
"Mom, just let him do the dishes. He loves washing dishes the most." Shen Shiqing thought to herself, she had to give her boyfriend a chance to show off.
Lu Jingchu and she exchanged a knowing glance.
Seeing that her daughter had said that, Jiang Qingru couldn't stop her, so she went with Lu Jingchu.
Her daughter has excellent taste. Jiang Qingru had previously investigated Lu Jingchu, and he was very good in all aspects.
Looking at it now, it seems really good. Judging from the small details of their lives, Jiang Qingru has already accepted him.
Lu Jingchu, who was engrossed in washing the dishes, never expected that she had unknowingly won over Shen Shiqing's mother.
This means that he also won over Shen Shiqing's father.
As for Shen Qingyun, Lu Jingchu could tell that Shen Qingyun didn't dislike him.
Needless to say, the situation is definitely stable.
So, it seems like this can be considered a complete victory, right?
Shen Qingyun and Shen Kuang were busy with the "moon offering" ceremony, a tradition in their hometown that is held every Mid-Autumn Festival.
Shen Shiqing and Jiang Qingru sat in the living room chatting, with the sound of the television in the background.
Over the years, Jiang Qingru has been traveling and gathering inspiration, and she has now told Shen Shiqing about many interesting experiences.
Shen Shiqing was very interested. Jiang Qingru spoke very gently and told her story in a slow and detailed manner, which Shen Shiqing found very enjoyable to listen to.
It felt like someone had told her bedtime stories like this before; it was very heartwarming.
Shen Shiqing also told her about his experiences in the entertainment industry, and all sorts of gossip kept Jiang Qingru grinning from ear to ear.
The atmosphere was very joyful.
After Lu Jingchu finished washing the dishes, she came out and listened quietly to their conversation without disturbing them.
Only after their conversation ended did Lu Jingchu take out the gift for Jiang Qingru.
"Auntie, this gift may have been a bit rushed, but I hope you like it."
"Mom, open it and see?" Shen Shiqing had a feeling that Jiang Qingru would like this gift; Lu Jingchu's taste had always been good.
Jiang Qingru opened the scroll box, took out a painting, untied the knot on it, and unfolded the painting, revealing a beautiful landscape painting with clear water and bright mountains.
Jiang Qingru recognized it as the work of her late mentor at first glance.
She had been searching for it for many years, but she never expected to receive the painting from Lu Jingchu today.
Jiang Qingru admired the painting closely, her eyes welling up with tears. She truly hadn't expected to see this work by her late mentor again.
"Does Auntie like it?" He had been collecting calligraphy and paintings for many years, and he never expected that he would make the most of it today.
"I like it, thank you Xiao Lu. I've been looking for this piece for a long time, and I thought I had no hope, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Qingru was relieved. The painting had been found, so the art exhibition she was organizing for her mentor could finally be held.
Jiang Qingru didn't know how to thank Lu Jingchu for a moment, but Shen Shiqing saw through her thoughts.
"Mom, don't feel guilty about accepting this gift from Xiao Lu," Shen Shiqing continued. "If you don't accept it, he might get a scolding when he gets home."
Jiang Qingru smiled with satisfaction, and her fondness for Lu Jingchu increased by more than one level.
Jiang Qingru carefully put the painting away and placed it in the collection room. When she came down, Shen Qingyun and Shen Kuang had already returned to the living room with mooncakes.
Now we're just waiting for Jiang Qingru to come and cut the mooncakes.
It has to be said that with Shen Kuang around, even cutting a mooncake can look like cutting a cake.
The atmosphere was fantastic.
But the point of celebrating holidays is to have a family reunion and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Aunt Liu had already prepared herbal tea, because eating mooncakes can easily cause internal heat, and you can't do without herbal tea.
While eating mooncakes and watching TV, Jiang Qingru did not forget to ask Lu Jingchu some questions.
Jiang Qingru already knew about Lu Jingchu's family situation and work status, but she was more interested in hearing what Lu Jingchu had to say.
Lu Jingchu's answer did not disappoint her. In fact, Lu Jingchu added some details and spoke very politely, which perfectly met her personal requirements for a son-in-law.
Moreover, as someone with experience, she could see that Lu Jingchu was sincere towards Qingqing, which was why she was satisfied.
After Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu had basically finished discussing their issues, Jiang Qingru suddenly remembered something.
"Xiao Lu, you have a younger sister, right?"
"Oh, right, Auntie."
"I think I've seen her on a show before; she's a very cute girl." Jiang Qingru found her odd. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet," Lu Jingchu answered truthfully.
He just didn't say the second half of his sentence.
You don't have a boyfriend, but you do have someone you like—your son.
Lu Jingchu subconsciously looked at Shen Qingyun, and coincidentally, Shen Shiqing was also looking at her brother at that moment.
Shen Qingyun remained silent and made no comment.
"That's perfect if you don't have any. I have a few friends here whose children are all very outstanding. If you need anything..."
This time, it wasn't her eccentric youngest son, Shen Kuang, who interrupted Jiang Qingru, but her proud eldest son, Shen Qingyun.
"Mom, don't worry about her. She's just a little girl."
After Shen Qingyun finished speaking, Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu exchanged a glance—hmm, I think there's potential.
They weren't entirely indifferent.
"That's true, but they're young, while you're not so young anymore, are you?"
Shen Qingyun really didn't expect to get himself into trouble. Oh well, it's nothing.
"I'll arrange something for you to meet someone another day. Even if you don't get married, it's good to date. I know you young people don't want to get married these days."
Shen Qingyun has been focused on his work, and apart from the girl he dated during his student days, Jiang Qingru hasn't seen him date anyone else in recent years, which makes her a little worried.
Shen Shiqing watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
"Mom, don't worry. My brother is such a good person, how could he not find a girlfriend, right?"
"That's true." Jiang Qingru thought for a moment, "I've been worrying too much."
The group chatted for a long time about all sorts of things, and Jiang Qingru got a little sleepy and wanted to go back to rest.
Before leaving, he glanced at Lu Jingchu, then at the time, and finally spoke.
"It's getting a bit late, Xiao Lu, why don't you stay here tonight?"
"Okay, Auntie."
