Chapter 71 Then let him come over tomorrow.
During dinner, Wang Mingfang told Lu Baichuan about Yao Hongmei's pregnancy. Lu Baichuan was naturally happy. After all, the family needed to have a baby. As for whether it was a boy or not, it didn't matter. He didn't have such conservative ideas.
Because Lu Xiaoxue, a chicken leg expert, was not at home, Wang Mingfang smiled and put a big chicken leg into Yao Hongmei's bowl, asking her to eat more to give birth to a big fat grandson for the Lu family.
Yao Hongmei was spoiled. This was a treatment she had never received before. She rubbed her belly unconsciously, divided the chicken leg into two halves, ate half herself, and gave the other half to her daughter Yingying.
Wang Mingfang was unhappy when she saw it, but she held back and said nothing. She picked up another chicken leg and put it in Lu Jingzhe's bowl, saying,
"Your father's cough hasn't healed yet, so he can't eat chicken. Give this chicken leg to Jingzhe. It's a rare opportunity for him to come back."
This aunt's shameless flattery really opened Xia Qingzhe's eyes. The last time she paid back the money, their relationship had become so strained, but now she can still be so attentive as if nothing had happened. She is really not an ordinary person!
Looking at the chicken drumstick in the bowl, Lu frowned in disgust. Xia Qingxing also noticed his expression and thought he would take it away in disgust. But a moment later, the chicken drumstick fell directly into his bowl.
This action surprised everyone at the table. He Shanshan, who was sitting in the corner, stared with her eyes wide open, wondering how this chicken drumstick ended up in the bowl of Xia Qingxing, a stinky girl. No one should eat it, and she shouldn't eat it!
"Qingxing can eat it. Qingxing needs to replenish her body." Seeing this scene, Wang Mingfang reacted immediately and said.
Xia Qingxi didn't have a problem with the chicken leg. Since it was put into her bowl, she might as well eat it. But Lu Jingxie was a hard person to figure out.
On second thought, although he disliked it, he didn't throw it away like a foolish man. Instead, he put it into her bowl, making her the beneficiary. This shows that he has a clear mind.

Not long after the meal, Xia Qingxi saw Mai Miao running over in a hurry. She seemed very embarrassed and seemed to be hesitant to say something.
Seeing her like this, Xia Qingxi knew that she had something to tell her, so she took her to her room.
Mai Miao hesitated for a moment and began to tell Xia Qingxi everything that had happened.
It turned out that the matchmaker who introduced He Shanshan to a man had just gone to their house and said that she wanted to introduce a man to her, and that man was the young man who met He Shanshan two days ago.
The matchmaker said that the young man accidentally saw her when he came that day, and he kept thinking about her after he went back, so he immediately asked himself to come to He Shanshan to express his attitude.
The young man originally wanted to visit her today, but he was afraid that Mai Miao would feel embarrassed, so he asked the matchmaker to come to the house first to ask if she was willing to give him a chance to meet and get to know each other.
He also said that if Mai Miao had concerns now and didn't want to meet, he could wait another year, and after a year, when things had calmed down and there were no more rumors, he would ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
Now Mai Miao is very conflicted. She really wants to meet him because she feels that the young man is sincere and sensible.
He did not come directly to her house, but asked the matchmaker to come and ask for her opinion first, which left a good impression on her.
In addition, he did not give up and was willing to wait for another year, which was enough to show his sincerity towards her.
Finally, their family conditions are indeed good, and the young man is also good-looking. Mai Miao feels that she is not young anymore, and she has never met such a suitable person before, and she does not want to miss it.
The only concern now is that he and He Shanshan have met before. If he meets her again now, others will definitely gossip.
Combining all the above, Mai Miao has been undecided, so she came to discuss it with Xia Qingxiang.
I don't know when Xia Qingliu became her backbone!
Xia Qingliu knew that Mai Miao trusted her and told her such a private matter. She thought for a while and asked:
"What is Aunt Li's attitude?"
"My mother asked me to make the decision myself." Mai Miao said nervously, "But how can I make such a big decision?"
"Aunt Li asked you to make the decision, which actually means she has tacitly agreed." Xia Qingliu reminded her that if Li Qiulian didn't want to agree to this marriage, she would have refused at that time. Why would she come to Mai Miao to go back?
"Is that so?" Mai Miao blinked her big round eyes and said with sudden realization:
"No wonder she didn't say a word of opposition and was polite to the matchmaker."
Xia Qingliu naturally knew what Li Qiulian was thinking. In fact, everyone was not a fool. How could they refuse such a good marriage just because they were afraid of gossip?
Besides, Li Qiulian didn't have much friendship with He Shanshan and her daughter. Because of Su Hui's relationship, she didn't have a bad relationship with them, which was already good. How could she ruin her daughter's good marriage just to save their face?
"But I'm still a little worried that others will gossip. If they say that I snatched He Shanshan's blind date, how ugly it would be!" Mai Miao said with consideration.
"Other people have their mouths, and we can't control them." Xia Qingxi said calmly,
"Even if you say no to that party now, won't others still gossip? Why should we care about what they say? The most important thing is for us to live our own lives."
Fearing that she still had concerns, Xia Qingxi thought about it and simply used the original body's story as an example to enlighten her:
"Look, the incident between Lu Jingchen and I caused such a big fuss back then. Didn't everyone talk about us behind our backs? But I'm still alive and well. And look, when they see me now, don't they still call me Lu Er's wife, Lu Er's wife?"
Lu Jingchen, who had just finished washing up, didn't know that Mai Miao had come to find Xia Qingqi. He was about to walk into the room when he heard what Xia Qingqi said. He frowned slightly unconsciously, and a hint of annoyance appeared in his eyes.
Hearing Xia Qingxi talking about the past, Mai Miao suddenly changed the subject and asked with a wicked smile:
"Qingxi, I'm also very surprised, why were you so brave at that time? That was Brother Jingxie, who in the whole compound is not afraid of him."
Xia Qingxi didn't want to explain too much to her, anyway, it won't be long before everyone will know the truth, she just replied lightly:
"It's not that I'm brave, it's that the bad guys are too hateful."
Lu Jingxie outside the house was about to leave, but suddenly heard Xia Qingxi's words, and his steps stopped unconsciously.
"Ah?" Mai Miao looked at Xia Qingxi in surprise, and wanted to continue asking questions, but Xia Qingxi didn't continue the topic, but said:
"Besides, it's not a shame for you that Xiao Wu likes you. Don't worry too much. Just get along with him first."
Mai Miao was not a stubborn person. After listening to Xia Qingxi's words, he quickly figured it out and said shyly,
"Okay, then I'll let him come over tomorrow."
