Chapter 161: What's the point of pretending
Song Ning looked at the middle-aged man who was blocking their way. He thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Our madam invites you two to sit in the coffee shop in front." The middle-aged man is the Lu family's butler. Although his tone and attitude are very polite, the arrogance in his eyes can still be seen.
Song Ning narrowed his eyes, "Your wife?"
The Lu family's housekeeper nodded and explained in a humble voice: "Mrs. Lu is Miss Huo Yao's adoptive mother."
When Song Ning heard that it was a member of the Lu family, his face darkened slightly, "What does she want from us?"
"I'm not too sure about this. You'll know when you two go over there." Butler Lu said slowly, standing to one side, as if he would not give up until he invited the two people over.
Song Ning frowned. She had a very bad impression of He Xiaoman. That noble lady's pretentious demeanor made people disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, not to mention that she had been so mean to her daughter in the past.
She immediately refused and said, "Sorry, we don't have time."
Hearing this, the housekeeper of the Lu family seemed to have expected her to refuse, so he added, "What our Madam wants to talk about is also about Miss Huo Yao."
As soon as these words fell, Song Ning successfully swallowed all her refusal words, and Huo Jinyan, who was standing next to her, reached out and patted her shoulder, then turned to look at the Lu family’s housekeeper, “In that case, let’s go.”
The Lu family's housekeeper pursed his lips, made a gesture of invitation, and then took the lead to lead the way.
Song Ning glanced sideways at her husband and said in an annoyed voice, "I really don't want to see that woman."
Huo Jinyan smiled and said, "Why don't you go back to the car and wait while I go meet her?"
"Forget it. I'd like to see what tricks she's going to play next." Song Ning sneered, then turned and followed the Lu family's housekeeper.
Soon, the two walked into the cafe.
There were not many people in the store at this time. He Xiaoman was sitting by the window on the right. As soon as Song Ning and Huo Jinyan approached, they heard He Xiaoman's voice.
"Lao Zhang, go tell the manager here not to let other customers come over and disturb them." He Xiaoman, with delicate makeup on her face, instructed the housekeeper in a light voice.
Song Ning glanced at He Xiaoman and thought to himself with just one word: pretending.
"Yes, ma'am." The butler nodded slightly respectfully, turned around and walked to the front desk.
After the housekeeper left, He Xiaoman finally set her eyes on Song Ning, a hint of jealousy flashing across her eyes.
Song Ning was very beautiful when she was young, and she paid attention to maintenance when she reached middle age. There were almost no fine lines on her face, and she looked no more than 30 years old. In addition, she had a good temperament, was elegant and generous, and looked more like a lady than the average wealthy lady.
Therefore, He Xiaoman looked down on Song Ning. She was obviously from a poor family, but she pretended to be a lady.
With a twitch of her lips, He Xiaoman pointed to the seat opposite and said, "You two should sit down and talk. Order whatever you want to drink."
Seeing He Xiaoman pretending to be the host, Song Ning just found it funny and shook his head. He walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation.
Without ordering coffee, Song Ning knocked his hands on the table, looked at He Xiaoman calmly, and got straight to the point, "There's no need for too much nonsense between our two families. Madam Lu, please get down to business."
