Cheng Qicai went downstairs and saw Ms. Yun and her uncle standing together. She went over to greet them.
She looked happily at Lu Qi next to Yun Rucheng, her gratitude overflowing.
But Lu Qi glanced at her, and she instantly understood that Lu Qi didn't want her to talk about it. She pursed her lips, suppressing her excitement.
I plan to discuss it privately later.
Yun Rucheng asked, "Beixiu, are you really not staying this afternoon? You'll have lunch before you leave?"
Ms. Yun smiled and declined, "No, Lao Cheng has been extremely busy at the company lately. I had to pester the boss to give me this day off. I have to go back to work overtime later, so I won't take it."
Song Luo added, "Then you and Qicai can stay too. We'll find a car to take you back later."
"No, no. Let's just go back together to avoid trouble," Ms. Yun waved her hand.
Seeing Ms. Yun's resolute attitude, Yun Rucheng and the others did not dare to try to persuade her to stay.
They left the hotel.
While in the car, Cheng Qicai asked Ms. Yun with a puzzled look, "Mom, why aren't you staying for dinner?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't Ms. Yun be the happiest person to stay and enjoy the festivities? Why is she acting like she's changed her mind today, rushing to leave?
"Forget it, look at Lu Qi's parents, they're not very warm towards us, why stay here and have to put up with their attitude?"
Cheng Qicai thought about it and felt it was alright. Lu Qi's parents didn't talk to them much, and even when they did, they were polite and respectful.
Is it not as lukewarm as Ms. Yun described?
"Your mother feels that people aren't very enthusiastic towards her," Mr. Cheng said, getting straight to the point.
Cheng Qicai advised, "They're so busy, how could they possibly take care of everyone? It's normal that they can't take care of us."
"We're relatives, after all," Ms. Yun said, dissatisfied.
Mr. Cheng said, "Everyone at that banquet is related to them by blood or marriage. You're not the only one who's related to them. You're overthinking it, Bei Xiu."
Ms. Yun retorted, "Doesn't that mean we should be closer?"
Seeing that Ms. Yun was still confused, she said, "Mom, these aren't acquaintances from the village, why would they be so enthusiastic towards you?"
Mr. Cheng chimed in, "That's right. With such a large family business, the people sitting below aren't just relatives, but also business partners. They're bound to pay more attention to that side."
"Anyway, I think it's a bit too heartless to be so rich," Ms. Yun muttered to herself.
Cheng Qicai sighed, unsure of what to say. Ms. Yun's thinking had its own set of logic.
She didn't want to say more.
Seeing the two remain silent, Ms. Yun suddenly changed the subject and asked Gu Rongqi and Gu Liji, "Those two bosses of yours were quite nice, did you take a liking to one of them?"
Cheng Qicai was shocked by Ms. Yun's words. "Huh? What?"
Ms. Yun looked at her curiously: "Both of them are so handsome, aren't you tempted by one?"
Suddenly, a dark figure flashed through Cheng Qicai's mind, pulling her towards him.
Ms. Yun urged, "I'm asking you."
"No." Cheng Qicai came back to her senses and gently shook her head from side to side.
Ms. Yun asked incredulously, "Really?"
"real."
Ms. Yun's expression suddenly changed, and her tone became serious: "That's good. Just don't go looking for people like them."
"..." Cheng Qicai was startled by Ms. Yun's change of expression, so her repeated questions were a test of her reaction.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"What do you mean 'why'? If you talk to people like them, they'll know they're just playing you, especially the one in the wheelchair. He has this flirtatious look on his face and looks like a womanizer. He's not a decent person," Ms. Yun commented.
"Don't you like rich people?" Cheng Qicai asked, even more puzzled.
"Who likes rich people?" Ms. Yun shouted, looking like she was about to get angry.
"Then what about your relationship with Brother Lu before..." Cheng Qicai didn't finish her sentence.
Ms. Yun's voice suddenly rose, "It's because of you, Brother Lu, that I think families like ours should find someone ordinary, someone with better or similar conditions than us."
"If someone wants to mess with you, they can do it with a flick of their finger. Look at you, do you even have the ability to keep a man? If you upset someone, how are we supposed to help you? You can't fight back against them anyway."
Cheng Qicai: "..."
It seems that Brother Lu's words had a great impact on Ms. Yun!
Ms. Yun continued, "And are you like your sister? Your sister is smart and beautiful, and you can tell she has good genes. Although marrying into the Lu family is indeed a step up for her, even if something happens later, she has the ability to support herself."
Speaking of this, Cheng Qicai wanted to retort: "But you used to tell my sister to stay at home and take care of her husband and children."
Ms. Yun: "Their family is rich and doesn't need your sister's earnings. Now her in-laws like her. She doesn't obey them and tries to please her in-laws and Lu Qi at home. Lu Qi is also a strong-willed person. If they don't like her later, won't she be disliked at any time? Having a child around helps her stay on her side."
Then, Ms. Yun brought up Cheng Qicai again, "So, you're not smart, you're not as pretty as your sister, you have few good points and a lot of bad points. What are you going to rely on to rely on her? You still have a big bowl to eat as much as you can eat. Don't get involved with these people."
Seeing that Cheng Qicai did not respond, Ms. Yun said sternly, "Did you hear me?"
"I heard you."
“Oh dear, Beixiu, Qicai knows her limits,” Mr. Cheng interrupted her.
Well, although Cheng Qicai felt a little disappointed, she understood that what Ms. Yun said was true.
