Chapter 102 No Beating is in vain
She bought a lot of things, and she would pay the bill almost as soon as Qin Jiaojiao's eyes stayed on her for two seconds.
Lu Shiman didn’t know how to make Qin Jiaojiao happy. The only thing he could do, besides accompanying her, was to pay the bill.
Many times, words cannot provide comfort, but actions can.
After having dinner together, Qin Jiaojiao reluctantly said goodbye to Lu Shiman.
"Jiaojiao." Seeing her about to get in the car, Lu Shiman called her.
Qin Jiaojiao looked back, somewhat confused.
Lu Shiman went up to her and hugged her: "You're fine, it's their problem."
Qin Jiaojiao knew what she was talking about. Her eyes were a little hot. She rubbed her head against Lu Shiman's shoulder and said, "How about we sleep together tonight?"
Lu Shiman hesitated for only a second before happily agreeing.
After getting in Qin Jiaojiao's car, Lu Shiman sent a message to Ji Linshen.
Lu Shiman: [This sponsor wants to favor Jiaojiao tonight, so you have to stay alone in the empty room.]
"Who are you sending the message to?" Qin Jiaojiao asked while driving.
"Ji Linshen, tell him."
Hearing Lu Shiman's words, Qin Jiaojiao seemed to be thinking about something and handed her the phone: "Then please tell Huo Beiyan for me."
Taking the phone from her hand, Lu Shiman lowered his head and typed a few words and sent them to her.
After finishing a day's work, Huo Beiyan listened to the housekeeper's report about the quarrel between Qin Jiaojiao and him on the phone today, and planned to go back and comfort her.
As soon as I stepped out of the office, I received a message alert from Qin Jiaojiao.
The corners of his mouth curled up, but when he picked up his phone, his smile froze.
Wife: [I am Lu Shiman. I have taken Qin Jiaojiao away. I will not give her back to you, nor will I return her.]
Huo Beiyan felt that this sentence was somewhat familiar.
Taking a deep breath, he put away his phone and went back to the office to work overtime.
I wanted to call her, but then I thought better of it. She must be in a bad mood today, and at this moment, what she probably wants most is the company of her best friend.
He should work overtime and earn more money to make Qin Jiaojiao happy.
.......
Best friends cannot sleep together because there will be endless gossip topics to talk about all night.
The two of them went to bed just before dawn, and when they woke up, it was already afternoon.
Lu Shiman thought about accompanying her brothers to Xie's house to attend Xie Yi's birthday party today, so she went home after having dinner with Qin Jiaojiao.
I got home, changed my clothes and put on makeup, and just went downstairs, I saw my brothers coming back one after another.
When Lu Shiman saw Fourth Brother, his eyes widened: "Fourth Brother, are you going there tonight too?"
"Yeah." Lu Qijun didn't want to go at first, but he couldn't stand Xie Yi's bombardment of phone calls.
Xie Yi and Lu Jianheng are classmates. Xie Yi has been domineering in the Lu family since he was a child, and has a very good relationship with the other people.
In addition, the Xie family's business overlaps with the Lu family's business to some extent, so the relationship between the two families is naturally good.
The night was dancing, and the Xie family villa was crowded with guests.
Lu Shiman followed his four brothers and greeted some familiar people.
Xie Yi was surrounded by guests beside the gilded Roman columns, his well-tailored tuxedo making his shoulders look relaxed.
He raised his champagne glass towards them, and the amber liquor rippled on the wall of the glass, which was soon drowned out by the crowd that came to congratulate him.
Mother Xie came out holding Father Xie's hand. Seeing Xie Yi, she smiled gently and waved at him: "Son~"
Lu Shiman heard the sound and looked over.
Xie Yi stood in front of his mother with a smile on his face. His mother gently adjusted his bow tie for him: "Happy birthday, son. Mom has prepared many gifts for you."
"Don't be too tired. Just take care of your friends. Leave the rest to your father." Xie's mother tucked the loose hair behind her son's ears with her well-maintained hands.
Lu Shiman stared blankly at Xie's mother's every move, feeling something indescribable in her heart.
It turns out that mothers can be like this, gentle and intimate.
Lu Yannan noticed his sister's eyes. He lowered his eyes and clenched his hands at his sides. A heartache that was almost like self-blame kept hitting his chest.
Lu Jianheng was a little afraid to look at Lu Shiman's envious expression, and his throat felt a little tight.
Lu Chixu was sitting in a wheelchair. The dial of his watch suddenly reflected light, which made Lu Qiyun raise his hand to cover his eyes. However, he caught a glimpse of the embroidery on his sister's skirt through his fingers.
The golden thread outlines the shape, hiding the gaps they can never mend.
Lu Shiman withdrew his gaze and turned around to see his four brothers looking behind him with complicated expressions.
That was a warm scene of the Xie family of three getting along together.
She felt a little sad. What the original owner and she had never obtained, how could these brothers have obtained it?
Although the brothers didn't say it, they would still feel sad when seeing this scene.
"Brother, have your parents ever called you that? Have they ever called you their son?" Lu Shiman spoke to break the silence between them.
The four of them withdrew their gaze and remained silent.
Seeing this, she felt even more upset.
"It's okay, you don't have to envy Brother Feather. I can play the role of mother at this moment and call you son." Lu Shiman had an expression of knowing the big picture and ready to give it a try.
She cleared her throat and smiled at her four brothers: "My darling sons." The deliberately drawn-out ending tone was wrapped in the sweetness of champagne.
Lu Yannan: “….”
Lu Chixu: “….”
Lu Jianheng: “….”
Lu Qiyun: ""
"Sons, Mom..." Before Lu Shiman could finish her words, she got a hard slap on the forehead from her eldest brother.
She rubbed her forehead, and before she could utter any words of accusation, Lu Chixu stood up from the wheelchair on one leg and slapped her on the back of the head.
One after another, he was hit hard from front to back, left to right.
After knocking, the four of them headed towards Xie Yi, keeping a distance from Lu Shiman.
Lu Shiman covered her forehead with her hands. The back of her head ached slightly, and the left and right sides of her head also ached slightly. She rubbed each position.
Looking at their backs, she muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly, "Repaying kindness with enmity."
Following their footsteps, Lu Shiman politely greeted Xie's mother.
When Xie's mother saw Lu Shiman, her eyes lit up. She stepped forward and took her hand. "Manman, you've grown so big now. When Xiaoyi brought you home and said she wanted you to be her sister, you were only this tall."
"When Xiaoheng and Xiaoxu came to pick you up, they saw you sitting on my lap, crying miserably. They insisted on giving you to me as their daughter."
"You don't even know that our Xiaoyi went on a hunger strike to make you her younger sister, saying that unless..."
"Mom!" Xie Yi interrupted his mother's memories of the past.
Lu Yannan and Lu Qiyun looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Jianheng and Lu Chixu at the same time.
Did these two bastards ever think of giving Lu Shiman away?
Lu Shiman felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with such a situation. She could only laugh and laugh.
After the birthday party, Lu Shiman returned home with his brothers.
As soon as he entered the house, Lu Yannan spoke directly: "Second brother, third brother, tell me, what's going on?"
"Brother, it happened so many years ago. You are bringing up old things too much." Lu Jianheng felt helpless.
Talking about the stupid things you did as a child now is no different from being executed in public!
