Chapter 65 - I'm Not His Biological Mother

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Bei and Xu Xiyao were both very handsome, but the type of handsome was different.

Lu Bei was the cool school bully, while Xu Xiyao was the sophisticated school bully. In terms of appearance and temperament, they were on the same level. This made Xiang Xiaoyuan very confused. Before she transmigrated into the novel, the boys in her school were the ones who were popular among the girls.

Wei Zihang closed his mouth and stammered, “Isn’t this world too small? Xu Xiyao, why are you working in Brother Bei’s mother’s shop?”

Lu Bei stood at the side and kicked him lazily. He used his eyes to indicate, “Watch your words. It’s not ‘mother’, it’s ‘stepmother’.”

Xu Xiyao, who had always been calm and collected, was stunned for the first time. He looked at Wei Zihang with a blank expression, then turned to Xiang Xiaoyuan with a stiff neck.

She’s Lu Bei’s mother?

His eyes were filled with shock. They were clearly saying “you don’t look like you’re in your 30s or 40s”. Xiang Xiaoyuan pressed between her eyebrows. She didn’t want to be Lu Bei’s biological mother, and she didn’t want outsiders to misunderstand that she was in her 30s or 40s, so she made a prompt decision. Without giving Wei Zihang a chance to speak, she explained, “I’m not his biological mother, I’m his stepmother.”

Wei Zihang: “…”

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled. “I’m only 27 this year, how can I be his biological mother?”

Xu Xiyao was stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to normal and he nodded calmly.

This small misunderstanding was quickly explained, but the atmosphere in the convenience store gradually became awkward…

Xu Xiyao kept his eyes on the cashier. Lu Bei and Wei Zihang did not know why, but the two young masters silently helped to tidy up the shelves. If one ignored their clumsy movements, this scene was quite harmonious.

Xiang Xiaoyuan would occasionally give them a few words of advice when they were at a loss. Children nowadays were smart. Even if they had never done it before, they could get used to it in a short while.

Wei Zihang had promised to support her on the opening day, so it was understandable for him to come to Xiang Xiaoyuan. But what about Lu Bei?

Her eyes kept circling Wei Zihang and Lu Bei. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and guessed a possibility.

Wei Zihang behaved so abnormally before. He was on Lu Bei’s side, and he even resisted his stepmother more than Lu Bei did. That day, he suddenly became weird and followed her around. Wei Zihang was too bad at hiding his intentions, Lu Bei would not miss something that she didn’t.

So, did Lu Bei know the reason why Wei Zihang was trying to please her a while ago? Did he know what An Yu said to her?

His current behavior was very similar to Wei Zihang’s behavior that day. Was he trying to express his apology in this way?

After thinking this through, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt at ease as she watched her stepson busily work on the shelves. She was in a very happy mood.

First, there were two more young men in the store. As the boss, she could laze around without doing anything. Second, Lu Bei’s behavior once again proved that his character was not bad. He was not as cold as he appeared to be. He just habitually guarded himself with indifference, like a rebellious teenager who pretended to be cool and handsome, and go against his parents.

The business in Yuan Wei Convenience Store was indeed booming. The goods on the shelves were constantly replenished. Wei Zihang and Lu Bei were so busy that their feet did not stop. However, the two of them did not have any complaints and worked diligently.

Outside the store, a black Maybach stopped not far away. Lu Wanggui sat in the back seat with his long legs crossed. His black eyes stared at the three boys who kept coming in and out of the convenience store. Finally, his warm gaze fell on Xiang Xiaoyuan who was sitting by the window, he leaned on his chin and smiled.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, “Drive back to the company.”

The driver hurriedly started the car.

…

As long as there were people around, there would be gossip.

A certain group of ladies had been sending messages early in the morning, waking up many people who were still sleeping.

Mrs. Sun sent a picture: [ My aunt took this picture when she went out to buy groceries today. Mrs. Lu’s new convenience store. CEO Lu asked someone to send some flower baskets. ]

Mrs. Qian: [ It’s said that CEO Lu likes his new wife very much. I didn’t believe it at that time. If CEO Lu really likes that person, would he let her open a convenience store? A big CEO like him could could start a company at any time… but now I’m a little uncertain. ]

Mrs. Li: [ The banners on the flower basket are so exaggerated. I didn’t expect CEO Lu to be such a person in private. If this isn’t love… ]

Mrs. Wang: [ That’s nothing. Let me show you a picture. ]

Mrs. Wang: [ Do you recognize it? It was normal for CEO Lu to send flower baskets to his wife, but what did it mean when CEO Lu’s son, Lu Bei, personally went to the shop to work?! It meant that Mrs. Lu not only subdued CEO Lu, but also the stepson! ]

All the wives sent shocked emojis.

Lu Bei was a famous troublemaker among the children in their neighbourhood. He didn’t study hard and was also a school bully. His parents were often called to school because of his fights. His personality was very difficult to deal with.. But what was going on now? The one who obediently packed things in the shop was really the legendary school bully Lu Bei who was not to be trifled with?
