Chapter 83 The So-called Trouble
Lu Jingyao's face darkened: "Mom, can't you expect me to be better?"
Mother Lu pretended not to hear her unfortunate son's words and turned to ask her husband: "Is my hair messy? How is my makeup? She is a working woman, and I, as a full-time wife, can't give her a bad first impression. If it's messy, what if she doesn't like Jingyao because of me?"
Father Lu was very good at flattering others: "Very good, you are perfect now! You are not a full-time wife, you are also in charge of two charity foundations, which is the pillar of our Lu family."
Mother Lu immediately looked happy and said, "You look pretty good now, you don't look like a retired old man at all."
The old couple looked at each other and felt happy.
Only Lu Jingyao looked defensive and said, "What do you want to do? Don't run over and scare her suddenly."
Mother Lu looked unhappy and said, "Your father and I are not monsters, how could we scare her? Don't worry, we are not those evil mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law on the Internet. We know our limits."
Lu Jingyao couldn't feel at ease at all. He knew better than anyone how much these two people wanted to have a grandson.
Mother Lu rolled her eyes and pulled her husband: "Old Lu, talk to him quickly and tell him how hard my life has been these years!"
Lu Jingyao's eyes were full of suspicion. Mother Lu had been pampered for years, and had been getting everything she wanted at home. Even he, her own son, couldn't tell what had happened to his mother.
Although Father Lu was still worried that Xu Youyou was not a girl from the same circle, he could not help but feel that his son liked her and his wife agreed. His slight opposition immediately disappeared without a trace, and he was eager to support his wife and said:
"Your mother and I are both guests at the party. Is it not okay for us to chat with another guest at the party?"
"Yes, your father is right!" Mother Lu nodded vigorously.
Lu Jingyao was so confused that he simply said, "If she is scared away by you, I will never get married and will be single for the rest of my life!"
This threat really hit the old couple's soft spot.
Mother Lu took a step back helplessly: "Okay, I won't bother her now, but you can't keep hiding from us like this."
Father Lu echoed, "It's not a good idea to always be sneaky. When are you going to bring her home? Let's meet her formally. You're not young anymore. It's not easy to have a girlfriend. You can't just hide her. Your mother prepared a gift for her eight years ago, and it's almost covered with mulch, but she hasn't given it away yet."
Lu Jingyao said: "Don't worry, we will see each other when the time comes."
Mother Lu was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "Why aren't you anxious anymore? You are already 28 years old. Men are worthless after 28!"
Lu Jingyao felt that she was just making this up.
Mother Lu continued, "When your grandfather thought about you being single, he couldn't sleep all night! I could only watch you and Assistant Liu flirting with each other every day, and I was afraid that you two would fall in love with each other one day. Do you know how sad I was?"
Lu Jingyao's forehead was bulging with veins: "Assistant Liu and I are innocent!"
Mother Lu snorted heavily: "I don't believe it unless you bring the girl home."
Lu Jingyao: ...
Father Lu looked at his son with suspicion: "You little brat, have you always been so one-sided?"
Lu Jingyao was silent.
Mother Lu didn't expect the truth to be so cruel. Her head suddenly hurt. "In the past, when those little girls saw you, they were like demons seeing Tang Monk. They were fascinated by you. Is there a time when your face doesn't work?"
Lu Jingyao is a big shot in the business world, but he always feels particularly powerless when facing his own mother. At this time, he can only explain dryly: "She is not that kind of superficial person."
"She's not superficial, and I haven't seen you impress her with your inner beauty."
Lu Jingyao had never known that his mother had such a vicious tongue. He hesitated for a long time and didn't know where to start.
Father Lu suddenly looked downstairs and saw Xu Youyou surrounded by people: "Wife, our future daughter-in-law seems to be in trouble!"
Xu Youyou was originally sitting on a sofa in a corner of the banquet hall, eating fruit peacefully, when suddenly a shadow blocked her way.
"Mom, my sister is here too."
Gu Xueying's voice successfully attracted Mrs. Gu over.
Mrs. Gu has been depressed recently because of her eldest son's illness. She came to the dinner this time because the Gu family wanted her to relax a little and stop looking so sad all day long.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Gu had only seen photos of Xu Youyou before, and this was the first time she saw her biological daughter who had been switched.
Even though Xu Youyou attended the dinner in a gorgeous dress, Mrs. Gu could find countless faults in just three seconds.
The hair is loose and not dignified enough.
Although the strappy dress is pretty, it is too flashy.
His face had a stubborn expression, not very likable.
"Sister, call mom quickly. You don't know how much mom misses you." Gu Xueying urged Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou frowned as she looked at the mother and daughter and said, "I'm an orphan. My parents are both dead."
Madam Gu stared at Xu Youyou's beautiful almond eyes with disgust: "Born in an orphanage, it turns out that everyone has a wild heart."
Gu Xueying said quickly: "Sister, how can you say such things? Isn't this chilling Mom's heart? Listen to my advice, apologize to Mom quickly, and Mom won't bother with you."
Xu Youyou glanced at Gu Xueying and said, "Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face?"
Gu Xueying's face turned pale, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said in a coy voice, "I...I don't have bad intentions, I just don't want things to get too awkward."
Mrs. Gu immediately protected her adopted daughter: "Don't bully Xueying! Let me tell you, although you are my biological daughter, I have raised Xueying for so many years. She is also the daughter of the Gu family, no different from you."
Gu Xueying looked at her adoptive mother with tears in her eyes and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance. As long as my sister can calm down and is willing to have a bone marrow match with my eldest brother, I am willing to do anything."
Mrs. Gu was reminded of this by her adopted daughter, and she thought about her own family's problems. Now the only one who could match the bone marrow with her eldest son was her youngest son.
Her youngest son had always been weak, and Mrs. Gu was afraid that donating bone marrow would harm his body, so she was naturally reluctant to do it.
But she was unwilling to let Mrs. Gu lose face and beg Xu Youyou.
Mrs. Gu had just come in five minutes ago and did not see Xu Youyou coming in with Lu Jingyao. When she thought of the other party's identity as someone who came from an orphanage, she instinctively felt that Xu Youyou had used some shameful means.
"Xu Youyou, how did you get in?" Madam Gu lowered her voice and said, "As long as you are willing to have a bone marrow match with Fengchuan, I am still willing to recognize you and help you smooth things over so that they don't kick you out now."
