Chapter 626: Blood Clan Loyal Butler vs. Godly Lady 55
She didn't care whether Lu's mother would hate her. She just answered her questions truthfully without being disrespectful. If Lu's mother still chose to hate her, then no matter what she did in the future, it would be seen as inappropriate and unpleasant in her eyes.
"Give the phone to Zhiyao." Lu's mother said.
Lu Zhiyao picked up the phone: "Mom."
Mother Lu: "I've already asked for you. The girl is quite satisfied with you. If you can't win her over with this, then you don't have to come visit me and your father at the end of this year."
Lu Zhiyao showed no sign of surprise, and spoke in a gentle and doting tone:
"Mom, the little girl is thin-skinned, don't push her too hard."
He looked at Quan Jiu, who had a look of astonishment on his face, and thought that the woman with her eyes wide open was very cute.
Quan Jiu was indeed full of surprise. When Lu's mother spoke to her just now, her tone was light and not intimate, even not as gentle as when she treated Chen Peisi.
This also led her to believe that Mother Lu was not satisfied with her, but what she said just now...
Lu's mother said, "I just can't stand the way you hesitate to pursue someone. If you like someone, go for it. You always follow others and give quietly, and in the end you will end up being labeled a nice guy."
Quan Jiu: “…”
She touched the tip of her nose guiltily.
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Quan Jiu and said, "Mom, stop talking. She's shy."
"Don't use your girlfriend as a shield." Lu's mother's dark eyes were clear, as if she could see through everything. "Although the conversation was short, she is not the kind of person who gets shy easily."
She had just put pressure on her on purpose to see how the little girl would react.
It turned out that her son had good taste.
Cool, steady, neither humble nor arrogant.
Although he is young, he is surprisingly calm.
Quan Jiu: "Mrs. Lu."
She suddenly spoke.
Mother Lu: “Hmm?”
Quan Jiu: "You don't mind the contract?"
For a rich second-generation like Lu Zhiyao, time is more valuable than money. Signing a one-year contract with her would undoubtedly be a huge loss.
She originally thought that a strong person like Lu's mother would ask a lawyer to come forward and forcefully terminate the contract.
Mother Lu heard her subtext and softened her tone:
"Little girl, the children of our Lu family are not greenhouse flowers that cannot withstand the storm. They are all adults. Zhiyao has the ability to make choices for himself, and likewise, he is also capable of bearing all the risks that come with those choices."
What she needs is never a puppet who listens to his parents. Every child becomes an independent individual from the moment he leaves the mother's womb. What parents can do is to analyze the pros and cons of each path for him. Ultimately, the right to make a choice is still in his own hands.
Quan Jiu thought thoughtfully: "You taught him very well."
Mother Lu didn't admit it and changed the subject: "Chris will come to China tomorrow. If you want, you can meet him."
When Quan Jiu heard Chris's name, he raised an eyebrow: "Tomorrow?"
Mother Lu frowned. She originally thought she would ask who Chris was, but she didn't expect her to be worried about the time issue.
Mother Lu: "Well, he's already packing his luggage."
Quan Jiu: “…”
Lu Zhiyao: “…”
Lu Zewen: "..."
"mom."
Lu Zewen rubbed his temples and spoke helplessly.
Mother Lu: “Hmm?”
This son, who had been deprived of affection since childhood, rarely called her like this. When he did, it was definitely because he had something to ask for.
Lu Zewen: "No need to ask Big Brother to come, Zhiyao and I are enough here."
There wasn't enough blood to begin with, and now there was another person trying to share it, so naturally he wasn't willing to do so.
Mother Lu said firmly, "You two brothers are hiding something from me."
Lu Zhiyao: “…”
He glanced at Lu Zewen and said lightly: "I'm not hiding anything from you. Maybe Lu Zewen has... What is Brother doing in China?"
Mother Lu: "I'm not sure, but I heard they were looking for someone..."
Quan Jiu touched the tip of his nose guiltily.
Lu Zewen looked grim.
Lu Zhiyao's tone remained unchanged: "I can help him find it, he doesn't have to come here in person."
Mother Lu's tone became firm again: "You are also hiding something from me."
Lu Zhiyao: “…”
Lu Zewen gave him a look that said “you deserved it”.
Mother Lu: "It seems that China does have something that you are obsessed with. You are all running to China..."
When Lu Zhiyao heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, Lu's mother spoke.
"In that case, I'll come to China to take a look."
Lu Zhiyao looked helpless: "...Mom, there's really no need."
His mother came to China, and his father would definitely follow, plus Chris, and Andrew who originally stayed in City C...
Lu Zhiyao rubbed her throbbing eyebrows, feeling that her little girl's situation was extremely dangerous.
Mother Lu: "You have no say." The housekeeper doesn't deserve to have a say.
Quan Jiu's heart sank, and then he heard Lu's mother ask, "Xi'er, right?"
Quan Jiu: “…Yeah.”
"My going to China might disturb you for a while, do you mind?"
Quan Jiu: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched: "I don't mind."
The other party clearly likes her, and if she refuses him at this time, it will push him away.
Mother Lu: "Then it's settled. I've booked a flight for the day after tomorrow at noon, and should arrive in China the day after tomorrow in the afternoon..."
Quan Jiu: "I'll send someone to pick you up then."
Mother Lu: "No need, you and Zhiyao can come together."
Quan Jiu uttered a word with difficulty:
"……good."
Mother Lu: "I know my preferences very well. If you have any questions, you can ask him. I have something else to do here, so I'll hang up first. See you the day after tomorrow."
When Quan Jiu hung up the phone, his head was still a little dazed.
Are you going to meet the parents now?
Lu Zhiyao pinched the back of her hand: "It seems that my mother really likes you."
Quan Jiu: “???”
What does it have to do with her?
Isn’t it because of the secret between the two brothers that Lu’s mother came to China?
"My mother doesn't have that much free time." Lu Zhiyao explained to her, "She came to China probably because of you."
Exploring the secrets of the two brothers was just an excuse.
Quan Jiu: “…”
Her face was disheveled.
Chen Peisi's face turned pale as soon as Lu's mother said, "I asked for you, the girl is very satisfied with you."
Without comparison, you can't see the difference.
She originally thought that Lu's mother "pampered" her and spoke to her in a gentle voice because she liked her, but after seeing how she and Xi'er got along, Chen Peisi felt that she was a complete outsider.
Although Lu's mother was polite to her, she always gave people a sense of distance. When it came to Xi'er, she would test him and give him compliments. The worst thing was that after arriving in City C, she actually took the initiative to ask to live in Xi'er's house...
People in their class are most averse to owing favors to others, and rarely make such "impolite" and out-of-bounds requests.
The only explanation is that Lu's mother treated her as one of her own.
