but,
Since Mu Shaohua and the others didn't admit it, Lu Qingzhou was naturally happy.
He gave a look of sudden realization: "So that's what happened when you fell..."
She then pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "It's nothing, just a little swelling relief cream. There's no need to go to the hospital. I'm going to wash up now."
Having achieved his goal, Lu Qingzhou was preparing to make his escape.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief,
Su Qingyao suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of seductive charm: "Shall the three of us serve you together tonight?"
Lu Qingzhou almost reflexively replied, "Really?"
The moment the words left his mouth,
Su Qingyao cursed angrily, "Bastard, you were faking it all along!"
He raised his hand to grab Lu Qingzhou's collar.
Lu Qingzhou thought to himself, 'This is bad.'
Damn it, he'd been exposed. He turned and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door shut behind him.
Su Qingyao stomped her feet angrily as she looked at the closed door, then turned and went back to the restaurant.
Mu Shaohua was speechless. She had genuinely thought that Lu Qingzhou had really drunk himself into oblivion, but it turned out he was faking it. She couldn't help but chuckle.
Leng Yue hadn't expected Lu Qingzhou to pull this stunt. Seeing his comical escape, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Mu Shaohua withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Su Qingyao and Leng Yue.
"You guys went way too far last night. Look how badly you beat him up!"
Su Qingyao raised an eyebrow and glared at Mu Shaohua: "You still have the nerve to say that? The injury around his eye socket was inflicted by you."
She knew in her heart that, fueled by alcohol, she hadn't been careful enough last night.
But seeing Mu Shaohua's attitude that it had nothing to do with me made me angry.
Mu Shaohua awkwardly touched the tip of her nose, her eyes darting around: "Hehe... It wasn't me, it definitely wasn't me!"
Her weak and feeble excuse,
This drew disdain from Su Qingyao and Leng Yue.
Mu Shaohua coughed lightly, "Oh, alright, don't dwell on this little thing, everyone contributed anyway."
...
After breakfast,
Lu Qingzhou then received a call from Manager Liu of the marketing department of Guanlan No. 1.
All arrangements regarding the house have been made, and you can move in at any time.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingzhou told Mu Shaohua and the others about the news.
Mu Shaohua glanced at Leng Yue and Lu Qingzhou and said slowly, "I have something to do at the company today and I might not be able to leave. I'll have Leng Yue accompany you to look at the house first."
Su Qingyao's eyelashes trembled violently, and she raised an eyebrow.
She understood Mu Shaohua's thoughts, of course. This vixen always used gentleness as a knife to tear her territory to pieces.
"Leng Yue is my person, why should you make arrangements for her!"
When Mu Shaohua looked up, a smile appeared at the corner of her eye, like an elegant cat.
She deliberately and slowly smoothed out her skirt, thoroughly enjoying Su Qingyao's flustered state.
She declared categorically, "I'm the eldest sister, my word is law, this is the decision."
Su Qingyao suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.
"Oh my god, you vixen, stop flattering yourself. What do you mean you're the boss and you call the shots? Who gave you that face? I'm the boss of this house."
Su Qingyao was not to be outdone; this concerned her position within the family.
Lu Qingzhou looked annoyed, wanting to interject but unable to, rubbing his tense face, and decided to ignore it to avoid getting into trouble.
Mu Shaohua's fingertips paused on the ends of her hair.
He recalled the bet Su Qingyao had signed while she was drunk last night.
The smile deepened, tinged with calculation: "Qingyao, have you forgotten our bet from last night?"
When Mu Shaohua mentioned the bet,
Su Qingyao felt her blood rush to her head, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
She tried to remain calm: "What bet? I don't remember. I blacked out last night."
Mu Shaohua slowly took out her phone, and the screen lit up the instant...
Su Qingyao's breath caught in her throat. "Really? Since you don't remember, I happened to record it last night. I'll play the recording and let everyone hear it."
She deliberately hovered her finger over the play button, watching Su Qingyao's changing expressions, her face beaming with smiles.
Su Qingyao immediately looked embarrassed, but still pretended to be tough and said, "I didn't say that. If you're so capable, open it and listen."
Mu Shaohua stared at Su Qingyao with a half-smile, and said provocatively, "You said it yourself, so I'm going to click on it now."
Su Qingyao stared intently at Mu Shaohua, cursing him to death in her heart.
Lu Qingzhou stood aside, watching the tension between the two women almost solidify into reality.
His temples were throbbing, and he was really having a headache.
It turns out that the most difficult battlefield is always between women.
At this point, it was necessary for him, the man, to step in.
He coughed lightly and stepped between the two of them. "Qingyao, Shaohua, please take Zhouzhou and Momo to school. You can go by yourself."
Seeing Lu Qingzhou come over to smooth things over,
Su Qingyao also took this opportunity to save face and didn't confront Mu Shaohua directly.
"Okay, I'll take them to school. If there are no problems with the house, you can tell Mom, she's the elder in the family, and ask if we need to choose a date to move in."
Lu Qingzhou nodded, "Then I'll be going now."
Su Qingyao bit her lower lip, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Mu Shaohua's ambiguous smile, and suddenly a thought struck her.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes: "Wait a minute, let Leng Yue go with you!"
Leng Yue's previously downcast eyes suddenly lit up, and her heart almost burst out of her chest.
Su Qingyao arranged for her to go house hunting with Lu Qingzhou. This was clearly a way to give her a chance to spend time alone with him.
