Lu Chaoxi ordered a small bowl of wontons.
She always emphasized "not talking while eating".
So while she was eating, none of the boys and girls sitting opposite her said a word.
The air seemed unusually quiet.
Lu Yibei glanced at his girlfriend, who looked somewhat stiff.
To be honest, Ms. Ji had already made plans to visit Mr. Bei's mother, but she never expected that the other party would "come knocking on her door".
—It's fine if the other party comes to the door.
The key point is that when Abei mentioned hiring a lawyer, she had prepared herself for meeting her boyfriend's mother, but when Abei said he didn't invite her this time, she completely let her guard down.
—Unexpectedly, good heavens, it was completely unexpected.
The ups and downs of life are just too exhilarating!
Ji Qingqian's pupils trembled slightly; seeing Abei's mother like this did indeed make her feel numb.
She looked at the woman in front of her who was slowly eating wontons; she was more slender than she had imagined.
According to Abei, Ms. Lu does not like having her picture taken.
Therefore, the photos of Ms. Lu that Ji Qingqian saw were all from her younger days, and the current Ms. Lu is no longer the same as the young woman in the photos.
If you only look at the face and facial features, the changes are not that significant.
But Ms. Lu Chaoxi in the photo looks like a sword, with sharp eyes.
Now it's different; his eyes have become much more reserved, no longer displaying that gleaming, sword-like quality.
—Now it's a missile.
Ji Qingqian watched Ms. Lu eating dinner.
Good news! I got to eat at the same place as my boyfriend's mom.
Bad news, but they weren't eaten at the same time.
Ji Qingqian actually felt quite awkward when there were people eating in front of her while she could only sit there.
She now fully understands how Abei felt when facing her father back then—if only there were a bottle of liquor in front of her now, and Ms. Lu said to her, "Sister, let's have a drink," she could drink with Ms. Lu until dawn.
That's better than doing nothing, right?
Lu Yibei was fine with it; he rested his chin on his hand, looking relaxed and carefree.
—The main thing is that what was bound to happen has already happened.
He couldn't escape paying the legal fees, but he wasn't so panicked after all.
He reached out and gently squeezed his girlfriend's soft little hand under the table, signaling her not to be nervous.
Ji Qingqian grabbed her boyfriend's hand in return, telling him that she was in a stable state of mind—she wasn't that nervous to begin with, just a little bit embarrassed.
until--
"…hiss."
She heard her boyfriend gasp.
Ji Qingqian wanted to ask her boyfriend what kind of trickery he was up to, but when she turned her head, she saw that his face was slightly distorted and his gaze was downward, as if he was telling her something.
Ji Qingqian immediately looked down.
She not only grabbed her boyfriend's hand, but her newly grown nails were practically digging into the back of his hand...
As for her, she was completely unaware of this.
Ji Qingqian: ...
She quickly let go.
Just as she was about to say something to apologize, Ms. Lu, who was sitting opposite her, put down her chopsticks and spoon.
Lu Chaoxi doesn't have a big appetite. One bowl of these small wontons would only be enough for Ji Qingqian to have a treat, but she only ate about 70-80% of them, leaving a lot of soup and broth. No wonder she looks so thin.
Ji Qingqian assessed the advantages.
It's the same as how Abei beat Lao Ji.
If a fight really broke out, she could easily handle one or two of these Ms. Lu's.
But then again...
—How could she possibly fight with Lu Chaoxi?
Ji Qingqian, Ji Qingqian, you actually thought your way of comforting Abei was very effective back then.
Now it seems... it really was better not to say anything.
Lu Chaoxi wiped her mouth with a tissue:
"Ji Qingqian".
Ji Qingqian's back straightened involuntarily.
She felt like she was attending the most important job interview of her life.
"Hmm," she replied curtly.
But just like someone taking a job interview, she didn't want to lose the job, nor did she want the interviewer or the "company" to think that she was someone they could easily manipulate.
Therefore, it's necessary to deliberately appear tough.
"She's from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, a freshman at Jiangnan University, also in the Computer Science Department, and Lu Yibei's junior..." Lu Chaoxi said slowly.
Ji Qingqian's mind went blank for a moment, and her first thought was that she was very unhappy!
—You investigated me!
But then I thought, what's the point of investigating... Grandpa and Grandma could know the answer to this.
Ms. Lu's tone was simply too indifferent and rational, as if devoid of any emotion, sounding like she was just mechanically reciting her personal information.
Even Lu Yibei said helplessly:
"I'd rather it not be like interrogating a criminal."
Lu Chaoxi glanced at her son and said matter-of-factly, "I talk to you like that too."
"...Is it possible that when you talk to me, I also feel like I'm interrogating a criminal?" Lu Yibei asked.
“No,” Lu Chaoxi said.
Lu Yibei: ...
"It's not your turn to speak yet."
Lu Chaoxi then looked at Ji Qingqian and said, "I have a question."
Ji Qingqian opened her mouth slightly and said eloquently, "...Huh?"
"You're older than Lu Yibei. Your birthday is in January, right?"
"…right."
This is no secret.
Her birthday falls on the same day as New Year's Day. This year, the New Year's Day holiday was short, so Abei didn't take her back to Chaocheng.
But when she got back, her grandmother heard about it and still made her a special bowl of longevity noodles.
