Chapter 41 Almost a Shadow



Seeing Lu Xiangxiang coming into the kitchen to help, Aunt Niu chased her out without a second thought.

"Aunt Niu, can you handle so many things? Let me help you." Entertaining guests? They are not her guests. The people in the yard are all Liang Huifen's relatives or the male protagonist's relatives. It's not her big day, and she is not the protagonist. What is she going out for?

She was too lazy to greet those people. Seeing that Aunt Niu was busy, she thought cooking today might be difficult, so she came over to help since she had nothing to do.

"Oh, how can I be too busy? I'm just cooking for two tables. I've cooked for ten tables before, and I did it all by myself without asking anyone for help."

"I can't cook either, so I'll just wash the vegetables for you."

"I've already taken care of a lot of things. I really don't need you. Xiangxiang, just go out and don't make things difficult for me." Her job is a nanny. If it gets out that Lu Xiangxiang is helping here, the lady will lose face. Then, if she can't vent her anger on Lu Xiangxiang, she will vent it on her.

This job is easy and the salary is high, and she doesn't want to lose it.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly drove Lu Xiangxiang out. Lu Xiangxiang had no choice but to come out of the kitchen.

Outside, everyone was sitting on the sofa chatting, and there were also some people standing outside in the yard. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Lu Xiangxiang came to the sofa and saw some fruit on the table. She reached out and took a banana and started eating it.

"I'm telling you, can you stop fiddling with your flowers? What's so good about those little broken flowers? Every time you plant one, it dies. Whatever you plant, it dies. And Min, why don't you go do your homework? Ziheng, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you finally have a break, so what are you doing sitting around at home? There are flowers at home for you to see."

"And you, you kid, didn't you see the broom fell on the ground? You didn't even help it when you passed by."

Grandma Zhou's angry roar echoed throughout the building, and the people she mentioned looked at her with strange eyes.

"Wife, what are you doing? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Grandpa Zhou looked at his wife with fear. She was angry early this morning. What she didn't know was that

"That's right, why does Mom feel like you're particularly angry today?"

"Grandma, are you suffering from Alzheimer's?" Zhou Minmin also said.

After hearing what they said, Grandma Zhou was furious.

"You are all troublesome, and you are even more useless. Do you know what day it is today?" Grandma Zhou pointed at Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng frowned as he was pointed at and scolded. "What day?"

"Your ex-fiancée, Lu Zhiyao, is engaged to a cuckold." Grandma Zhou said angrily.

"Cuckold?"

"That's right. That girl cheated on you and didn't want you to marry into the Xu family. I was wondering why she was so confident. It turns out she was waiting here and had already found her next husband, right?" Grandma Zhou said angrily.

How is the grandson not as good as the Xu family's? The grandson is better than the Xu family's kid in every way. He is superior in appearance and education.

She looked at her grandson with a look of disappointment: "Why don't you try harder? A grown man with a cold face all day long, what girl would like you like this?"

"Grandma, what happened between her and me is already in the past. Besides, we are both unmarried. If she has a better choice, just let her. I didn't want to get married anyway."

"I don't want to get married, I don't want to get married. Who doesn't want to get married when they reach that age? Your idea of ​​not getting married goes against common sense and human ethics."

Zhou Ziheng stopped talking, as if he continued his conversation his grandmother would get angry again.

Grandma Zhou was still very angry and was walking around the house in circles.

"No, I want to find you someone better. The girl from the Lu family is just average. If she didn't have a good relationship with her grandmother, I wouldn't bother with her." Grandma Zhou said angrily. The Lu family broke off the engagement that day, and she told her friends about it. What did her friends say?

They say young people are free to fall in love, so we two old guys shouldn’t get involved.

God knows after knowing her for so many years, this is all she said?

She was so angry.

I won’t have any contact with that guy from now on, and just pretend that I have just recognized this person.

Their family backgrounds are not equal, so they have to find someone of equal status.

Lu Yuantao’s family is still out of reach, isn’t it? How can someone with no background be engaged to her grandson?

If you want to order, you should order with a higher threshold, right?

The two of them got engaged because she thought Lu Zhiyao was a good choice, with good education and good looks, and she was also the granddaughter of a friend. It would be best if the two families could become closer.

Now that she has been tricked, she doesn't know how many people are laughing at her grandson. Grandma Zhou, who is very concerned about her reputation, finds it hard to accept this.

I am determined to find a better one for Zhou Ziheng, but there are not many who are prettier than the girl from the Lu family. Those with education are not as pretty as her, and those who are so pretty do not have the family background of the girl from the Lu family.

It's difficult.

Suddenly a sweet smiling face flashed through her mind, but she quickly shook her head.

No, no, no, no.

Although that girl was much prettier than Lu Zhiyao, she was also a child of the Lu family, so she didn't want to marry into the Lu family.

Who to choose? Who to choose? She was so anxious.

Zhou Ziheng didn't expect his grandmother to be so obsessed with his marriage. He really had no intention of falling in love and just wanted to do what he wanted to do.

No matter how angry the Zhou family was, the Lu family was in a state of joy.

"Xiangxiang, this is Uncle Xu. He will be our in-law from now on." Lu Yuantao introduced Xu Zhiyang's father to Lu Xiangxiang.

Mr. Xu is about 1.8 meters tall, with an elegant temperament and a wealth of knowledge.

He is now in a high position and still has a serious air about him. When he saw Lu Xiangxiang, he nodded to her as a greeting.

"Hello, Uncle Xu." She responded with a smile. Fortunately, neither of them spoke after that.

Lu Xiangxiang didn't say anything. He just silently refilled their tea when the two finished drinking it, fulfilling his duty as a host.

Soon it was noon and lunch time. Aunt Niu had already prepared the food. The main table was full of adults, and only Lu Xiangxiang and her table were occupied by young people.

On Lu Xiangxiang's right was Lu Zhiyao, and on his left was Song Jiarui. There were more than twenty people at the two tables, so the dinner was naturally lively.

She didn't care about that because it was a banquet and the dishes were quite rich, including fish, meat, chicken, duck, and even shrimp. It was a huge expense to eat so much meat, and it was a rare opportunity to have such a good meal, so of course she had to enjoy it to her heart's content.

First, I picked up a big shrimp, peeled it, and dipped it in sauce.

The delicious taste of the shrimp combined with the sauce made by Aunt Niu is extremely tasty. She squinted her eyes in pleasure.

The chicken is stir-fried with mushrooms. The chicken is not like the feed chickens in later generations, which are all raised outside. The meat is firm and chewy, and the taste of the mushrooms dipped in gravy is simply amazing.

tasty.

The duck meat is boiled and tastes great with the dipping sauce.

The fish is made into sweet and sour fish, which is sour and sweet and very appetizing.

At the dinner table, Lu Xiangxiang's chopsticks were almost becoming afterimages.
