Chapter 218 Pretending to be invisible



"By the way, my house, recently, that Chen Hai..."

Before she could finish her words, Shi Lingyu turned towards the kitchen and asked, "Is lunch ready?"

Chen Sheng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm leaving right away."

"Huh? Leaving now? Not staying for lunch?"

"No more."

Shi Lingyu saw the gifts in the corner and immediately smiled and said, "You're here, why are you carrying so many things?"

"You definitely can't come here empty-handed, right, sister-in-law?" Chen Sheng said with a smile.

Shi Lingyu waved her hand and said, "You're really wasting money. You really don't want to save some for lunch?"

Chen Sheng thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I won't stay. I'm leaving right away."

Shi Lingyu nodded and said simply, "Okay, then I won't force you to stay. Just be careful on the road."

"Hey," Chen Sheng walked to the door, "I won't see you off."

Shi Lingyu stood at the door and watched Chen Sheng and his son leave. After closing the door, she immediately turned around to the corner and picked up the wine bottle on the ground to look at it.

"Oh, it's xo again. Chen Sheng is willing to spend money." Shi Lingyu said.

Lu Mingjie came over and asked, "Foreign wine?"

"This bottle seems to be more than 8,000 yuan, and two bottles are 16,000 yuan." Shi Lingyu said, "It's not very expensive."

Lu Mingjie said, "I haven't tried this yet."

"Go." Shi Lingyu glanced at her son and said, "You are not allowed to drink. You will end up like your father, drinking every day."

After saying that, she picked up two packs of Honghua cigarettes on the ground and said, "These cigarettes are good, but the price shouldn't exceed one thousand at most, so it's not expensive."

After she finished speaking, she put Honghua down and said, "Is that all?"

Lu Mingjie said, "It seems there's some tea in Sister Huang's hand. Ask Sister Huang... Sister Huang!"

He shouted the last sentence towards the kitchen, but Sister Huang had already come out with the bag of tea.

"Ma'am, take a look. There's something wrong with the tea they sent."

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" Shi Lingyu frowned.

Sister Huang took the bag and tea cake together and said:

"Look, the bag of Tieguanyin contains Pu'er tea. They are not the same kind at all."

Shi Lingyu frowned and said, "Iron Guanyin in Pu'er? Show it to me?"

She took the tea cake, put it under her nose and smelled it, then lifted the cloth and took a look.

“It’s definitely not Tieguanyin.”

"It's definitely not Tieguanyin," said Sister Huang. "This is Pu'er, and it doesn't even have a production date. It's a product without any certifications. Who would dare drink this?"

Shi Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little angry: "He really brought this? This is what he brought?"

Sister Huang slapped her thigh and said, "Yeah, I was saying, how can you give gifts like that? If something goes wrong with the drinking, who's going to be held responsible?"

Shi Lingyu stared at Lu Mingjie and said, "Mingjie, in this situation, you should have returned it to him right then and there and said you don't want this gift from him."

Lu Mingjie scratched his chin and said nothing.

A bit embarrassing.

Sister Huang quickly said, "You can't blame the young master for this. Everyone who comes to my house with gifts wishes they could pick the stars and the moon. They all bring high-quality things. How could they pass off inferior goods as good ones like this? The young master must have no experience in handling such matters."

Shi Lingyu instructed Lu Mingjie:

"Mingjie, remember, anyone who comes to our house will be given a gift with their head held high. We will also consider the gift if it's from a bad person. We won't accept it if it's a bad gift, or we won't accept it if it's a loss of status for our family."

Then she continued, "If you have a relative like Chen Sheng, and he gives you a gift and then tells others about it, you might as well make him look proud. You should refuse him directly, don't accept his gift, let him take it, and go away. Do you understand?"

Lu Mingjie nodded: "I understand."

At this moment, there was another noise from the door. Everyone turned around and saw the head of the family, Lu Yuanhu, appearing outside the door.

"Master, you're back!"

"Dad, you're back."

"Wonho, are you back? Come here quickly."

The three of them said in unison. Lu Yuanhu looked up at them and said:

"What's going on? Are we having a group meeting?"

"Yuan Hu, you're back just in time. Let me tell you something," Shi Lingyu tapped the tea cake in her hand. "Look, Chen Sheng from Lu Ruixiang's family, what good stuff did he bring?"

"What's wrong? What is this?" Lu Yuanhu picked up the tea cake and looked at it.

"Didn't he bring back the seeds he left in the countryside? He said he brought something to visit us. Look, what did he bring? Pu'er tea in a Tieguanyin bag. No production date, no brand, no label. It's a completely unproductive product."

Lu Yuanhu looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He's a bit foolish." Shi Lingyu frowned.

Lu Yuanhu returned the tea cake to her and said:

"You're being a little petty. They brought something with them, it's all out of their good intentions, so just accept it."

Shi Lingyu said, "You're always such a good person. You don't care when people try to trick and bully our family, right?"

"How is this bullying?" Lu Yuanhu was surprised. "You're just looking for trouble. They came all the way here and brought something with them. Just keep it. Whether it's good or not, remember it and find a way to return it next time."

Shi Lingyu was a little unhappy: "What should I do with this thing? It doesn't have a production date. If I leave it there for a few years and forget about it, won't it be lost?"

Lu Yuanhu sniffed it and said, "It's not broken."

Then he sniffed again and said, "It smells pretty good."

This tea does smell quite fragrant.

Take a breath and feel the fragrance still lingering in your nose.
