Chapter 181 Those Little Thoughts 10
After dinner, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Cheng were chatting. As young people, they naturally chatted together.
Song Qinfang looked at them, a slight smile playing on her lips, "If Lanlan could become my daughter-in-law, I would definitely treat her like my own daughter."
“I’m so happy that she’s so lucky. I’m just looking at those young people.”
"And Ru Bao, I really like that child. You are so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like Ru Bao."
Mrs. Lu laughed along, "That's true. I was worried that my blockhead son wouldn't be interested in women. He's probably just shy. Ru Bao still says that she and he are just friends."
Of course, Madam Lu wasn't in a hurry. She knew her son's thoughts better than anyone.
Lu Jinglan took Ru Bao and Cheng Meilin to the garden, since she was considered the hostess and it was Cheng Meilin's first time visiting the Lu family.
She had the maid make some tea and cut some fruit to serve.
Cheng Meilin looked at Xu Rubao, and the three of them chatted for a while, discovering that Xu Rubao was about the same age as her.
"Ru Bao, what does your family do?"
Xu Rubao naturally knew that she could not compare with the Lu family and the Cheng family. The Lu family was a business, while the Cheng family was said to be a high-ranking official family in Beijing.
"Oh, my family sells medicinal herbs."
When Cheng Meilin heard that it was about selling medicinal herbs, she realized that she wasn't exactly a rich young lady, and in terms of social status, she was a bit inferior to Cheng Meilin.
"If you have time to come to Beijing sometime, I'll definitely take you out for a good time."
Cheng Meilin started talking about travel again, and Xu Rubao listened quietly as they talked about going abroad, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Although Cheng Meilin was not well-liked by Song Qinfang in the Cheng family, her father Cheng Hongzhi and her grandmother treated her very well.
Cheng Hongzhi, in particular, always felt guilty towards her, so he would fulfill any request she made.
Xu Rubao checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. If she stayed here any longer, she wouldn't be able to go back to school tonight.
She was about to say that she was about to leave.
At this moment, Cheng Meilin took her hand and said, "Ru Bao, I'm really sorry. I was so engrossed in chatting with Lanlan that I didn't even notice you. Okay, let's not talk about that anymore."
Lu Jinglan felt slightly embarrassed, realizing she hadn't considered Ru Bao's feelings earlier.
"Ru Bao, don't be angry. I'll ask my brother to take you out to play more often in the future."
Xu Rubao didn't really think anything of it; she really couldn't get a word in edgewise on this topic.
But listening to Lu Jinglan's words, she didn't know how to respond.
Would Lu Jingheng take her out? Thinking about it, I'd better not.
Cheng Meilin had a question on her mind that she had been holding back all night.
"Ru Bao, are you and Brother Heng in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
After saying that, Cheng Meilin couldn't help but feel nervous.
She likes Lu Jingheng; she's been secretly in love with him for a long time.
However, she planned to tell her father after graduating from university.
If she were to ask her father, he would surely agree to her being with Lu Jingheng.
"No, I...we are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
When Cheng Meilin heard this, her eyes lit up. "Really? You two aren't boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Just as Xu Rubao was about to say no, Lu Jingheng appeared behind them without them noticing.
"Aren't you going back to school?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Rubao turned her head and saw Lu Jingheng staring at her.
Having spent a while by his side, Xu Rubao could tell at a glance that this old man Lu seemed to be in a bad mood. Who had offended him?
