Chapter 90: I plan to write a story of a broken mirror mended.
Gu Suixing was very busy for the next few days. Lu Fengqing could only see him during the time between waking up in the morning and going to work. She didn't even know when he came back at night.
Friday afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye. Lu Fengqing left work on time, planning to grab something to eat outside before heading back to Xingheli. She had just driven her car out of the company when she suddenly received a call from Huo Huaisui, inviting her out for barbecue.
Lu Fengqing asked with amusement, "You haven't spent all the money yet?"
"I've already spent all the money my fourth brother gave me," Huo Huaisui said. "I received my royalties yesterday, so I have money again."
“Okay.” Lu Fengqing readily agreed.
Huo Huaisui planned to have barbecue today. When Lu Fengqing arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Huo Huaisui was already sitting down and waiting.
"One good news and one bad news, which should we hear first?"
Before Lu Fengqing could speak, Huo Huaisui couldn't help but say first: "Let me tell you the good news first. My mom has finally realized how unreliable my aunt is, and she's stopped letting her find me any more blind dates."
Huo Huai Sui's smile lasted less than two minutes before it deflated again. "The Xie family patriarch is having his birthday celebration next month, and my mom asked my brother to take me there... saying it's so I can broaden my horizons and meet people. Don't think I don't know, but nine times out of ten she wants me to find a boyfriend."
I guess they saw the low-quality recommendations from others and just told her to find a high-end banquet venue herself.
In short, they just want her to get married.
Huo Huai Sui pouted, "If my mom and I didn't look alike, I would have thought she picked me up."
Lu Fengqing listened quietly without responding.
Huo Huai Sui didn't need Lu Feng Qing to say anything; she could chatter on and on by herself all night long.
“My brother is so mean. It was one thing for him to try every means to take my allowance before, but now he’s set a curfew for me. I can’t go out after 10 p.m., and I can’t come home if I’m out playing outside after 10 p.m. I’m an adult now, and he’s still controlling me like this. It’s too much.”
“My dad actually supports his approach and even spent a lot of money to have a smart lock installed. There’s no password, and no one is allowed to enter or leave after 10 p.m.… Why did my dad go to all that trouble? If he had given me the money he spent on the lock, I would have been home before 10 p.m..”
"Sigh. In the end, it's all my fault for being useless. If I were half as smart as my brother, they definitely wouldn't control me like this. It's true that everyone has their gains and losses. My mom gave my intelligence to my brother and my beauty to me... You know, my brother is ugly and stingy, he might be a bachelor for life."
Lu Fengqing suppressed a laugh, but couldn't help feeling regretful that she hadn't recorded that sentence.
I really want Huo Huai'an to hear what his younger sister has to say about him.
Huo Huai Sui went on and on, complaining about her brother, her mother, her father, and eventually even criticizing herself.
None of the four family members could escape her sharp tongue.
After she finished speaking, Lu Fengqing asked, "You've been so free lately, out looking for food every day. Have you decided what to write for your next novel?"
"Why do you act like an editor to me?" Huo Huai Sui muttered, then said in a relaxed tone, "It'll be done soon. I'm planning to write a story about a broken relationship being mended in my next book. It's getting late today, I'll ask you out another day. Tell me about you and my fourth brother."
Lu Fengqing: "?"
A broken mirror mended? What are you talking about? Are you talking about her and Gu Suixing?
The problem is, she and Gu Suixing haven't truly reconciled. There are still many gaps, and whether they can be reconciled remains to be seen.
Huo Huai Sui wouldn't listen, insisting that Lu Feng Qing and Gu Sui Xing were indeed right, and that he would definitely tell her about it later.
Lu Fengqing was both amused and exasperated.
A family of three was sitting at the next table. The man walked away for some reason, and the child suddenly started crying loudly, attracting the attention of people around. The waiter quickly went over to inquire about the situation.
"Bang—"
The child threw a tantrum and suddenly threw the chopsticks in his hand away.
The chopsticks flew past Huo Huai Sui's ear, startling him.
Huo Huaisui stood up abruptly, his face full of displeasure as he questioned, "Kid, what's wrong with you? Didn't your parents teach you not to litter?!"
The child looked at Huo Huai Sui, pouted, and this time actually grabbed a bowl from the table and threw it at Huo Huai Sui.
And his mother didn't stop him either.
"careful--"
Huo Huai Sui stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Lu Feng Qing quickly stood up and pulled her aside, preventing her from being hit by the bowl.
With a "snap,"
The bowl smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces.
The people around were startled, and after they came to their senses, they started pointing and whispering about the woman and child.
The waiter quickly cleared the food away from the child.
"Madam," the manager, accompanied by two male waiters, rushed over upon hearing the commotion, his face grim as he warned, "if you can't control your child, we'll have to ask you to leave."
The woman spoke slowly, "But it didn't hit you."
The manager frowned.
The woman glanced at Huo Huai Sui, smiled contemptuously, and continued, "So what if he hits someone? Even if my son smashes the whole store, I have plenty of money to pay for it."
The child looked up and hummed.
The mother and son were extremely arrogant.
Lu Fengqing's expression darkened, and she gave the woman a cold look.
The woman's clothes and accessories may look expensive, but in her eyes, they are all outdated styles.
She had met all the major families in City A except for the Xie family. She was quite certain that she had never met this person before, but judging from the woman's demeanor, she didn't seem to be a member of the Xie family. She guessed that she was probably a married daughter from one of the families who had come back to visit relatives.
Huo Huai Sui was so angry that she was trembling all over. She grabbed her phone and called her brother.
Lu Fengqing also took out her phone, but she intended to call the police.
The pointing and whispering around them grew louder and louder.
The woman seemed not to hear, or rather, she didn't care.
City A is full of influential people. When the manager saw that the woman was dressed in expensive clothes and was so confident, he hesitated and did not dare to let anyone actually touch the mother and child. He could only continue to persuade her.
Huo Huai Sui felt even more aggrieved upon seeing this. As soon as the call connected, she shouted at her brother, "Brother, come quick! Someone is bullying me... Pah! I didn't cause any trouble. Some damn woman's child threw something at me, and she almost smashed my head open. Niannian is here too... I don't care, you have to come right now!"
Finally, Huo Huaisui gave an address and hung up the phone.
The woman ignored Huo Huaisui, picked up her phone, glanced at the time, and frowned even more.
The child seemed to have found something fun to do. Seeing that there was nothing else to throw, he actually took off his shoe and threw it at Huo Huai Sui.
The shoe, of course, didn't hit it.
"You brat!" Huo Huai Sui stomped her feet in anger, wishing she could pounce on the brat and beat him to death.
Lu Fengqing turned around, picked up the shoe, stuffed it into Huo Huaisui's hand, and raised her chin, "Give it back to his mother."
Huo Huaisui understood immediately, grabbed the shoe and threw it at the woman.
