Chu Mu's mother was a bit unhappy. She looked at the other person with a bad complexion and said, "Young lady, I was the one who took a fancy to this thing."
"So what?" Lei Lili looked at her mother impatiently, "Auntie, just buy something else. It's not like this is the only one."
"What's the matter with you, girl? You stole the thing that I wanted first, do you still want me to bother about you? " Mother Chu frowned, looking at Lei Lili, she couldn't help but be a little angry, "I bought this for my son-in-law to eat!"
"So what if he is your son-in-law? My fiancé still wants to eat it! " As he spoke, he took out a 100-dollar piece from his wallet and threw it on the stall. He didn't even bother with his mother as he turned around and left.
Chu Mu's mother stood on the spot and shouted for a long time. When she saw Lei Lili completely ignoring her, she became even more annoyed! He didn't want to buy any more dishes, so he just carried the vegetable basket home.
Lei Lili thought that Lu Xu Qian would come to her house for dinner tonight, and she was in a great mood. This time, Lu Xu Qian had come to find him for help. She must have grasped the initiative.
Recently, he had heard that Lu Xu Qian had broken up with the Lu family, and there were even some who were trying to drag him down. From the looks of it, the Lu family's advantage over her was already somewhat weak. If possible, now was a good time to work with Lu Xunqian.
Although Lei Lili could not be considered to have a unique crush on Lu Xu Qian, he could still be considered a pretty boy of number one. How could she not be tempted by him?
Therefore, thinking of the things that Lu Xunqian had requested of her recently, coupled with the fact that he might be a little more gentle and petty, it might just be enough.
Therefore, she had come out early today to buy food, thinking of cooking a good meal for Lu Xunqian tonight. It could also be considered as letting him know that she was able to leave the hall and enter the kitchen.
It was obvious that Lu Xunqian had forgotten about this matter. He had casually mentioned that he had asked for Lei Lili, asking for her help. However, he had merely wanted to leak some information through Lei Lili's mouth, so he had not taken it seriously.
He had always wanted to go to Chu Xinxia's home for the weekend, but who would've thought that before he left, he would receive a call from Lei Lili.
After receiving the call, Lu Xu Qian smacked his head and looked at Chu Xin Xia helplessly.
"What do we do? I forgot to ask someone out."
Chu Xinxia felt a little uncomfortable inside, but she also knew that the Lu Family's situation hadn't been too good recently. If Lu Xunqian was busy with proper business, she really shouldn't have stopped them. Sighing, he patted her shoulder. "Just take it as if you and my mom aren't fated. If you're busy, then go first."
Lu Xu Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was the one who had done the wrong thing today after all. Both sides had already made an appointment, so it was really difficult for him.
Looking at the time, Lu Xunqian felt that there was enough time. In order to buy gifts for Chu's mother, the two of them planned to leave home two and a half hours earlier.
"Why don't you go pick out the presents first, I'll go and stay at Lei Lili's place for a while, then go straight to your house. It shouldn't be too late. I'll try to get there on time. "
Hearing this, Chu Xinxia could only nod her head. She could not help Lu Xu's matter, so she could not cause any more trouble.
Looking at Chu Xinxia's expression, Lu Xunqian felt a little guilty. He carried her in his arms and coaxed her for a while before driving away.
Lu Xu Qian called Lei Lili, confirming that she was waiting at home. Only then did he hurriedly drive over.
Thinking about the quick end to the battle, he didn't expect that when he came to his door with the contract, Lei Lili would be wearing formal attire and even had a bottle of red wine in her hands. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled food, which made it difficult for him to speak.
He didn't think that Lei Lili would have any thoughts about him, but seeing that she was already prepared, he couldn't pretend not to notice. After all, he didn't want to ruin his friendship for half an hour, so he smiled and went inside.
"I made an appointment with someone today, so I almost forgot about what happened with you." He placed the contract on the table, "I'll probably have to leave early. I'll only be here for about half an hour."
When Lei Lili heard that, she became displeased, "You even asked for a date with me? You actually have a request for me. "
"I need something from you?" Lu Xu Qian raised his eyebrows, "Although I need your help, it's not necessary for you."
Lei Lili's face became even uglier, "How can you be like this?" If you follow my instructions, you will die? "
Lu Xunqian nodded, "They will indeed die."
Lei Lili harrumphed, took the pen and immediately signed the contract, "Alright, since you got it, then let's hurry up and leave, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Lu Xu smiled, then stood up with the contract, truly intending to leave.
Lei Lili originally wanted to force Lu Xu to give up his temper, but she didn't expect him to really leave! He quickly stood up and held onto his arm, "I said, you'll die if you give in a little? Sit down, I even cooked a table full of dishes! "
Lu Xu Qian could do nothing but sit down and take a few symbolic bites.
When Chu Xin Xia returned home, she was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the door opening, she looked outside and saw Chu Xin Xia coming in with a box full of things in her arms.
"Why did you come back yourself?" "Where is he?" Chu Xinxia had told him that she would bring Lu Xunqian back, but what was going on?
Chu Xinxia smiled helplessly, "He has to wait a bit longer, the company is busy. And didn't we say six o'clock? It's not even five o'clock yet. "
Although her mother was unhappy, she still nodded.
As a man, he had to focus on his work. He continued to go to the kitchen to cook. Recalling that he did not manage to buy any okra this morning, he felt a little angry.
"Tell me, these youngsters nowadays really do not know how to respect the elderly." I went out to buy vegetables today and met a girl who was about your age. She actually stole the okra from me! Didn't you say he liked it? I was thinking of making one for him. "
When Chu Xinxia heard her mother's tone, she was probably angry. She quickly rubbed her shoulders and changed the topic, afraid that she would be angered.
Ever since the last time Chu's mother was hospitalized, Chu Xinxia had been hoping that Chu's mother would be able to live a peaceful life.
There were many things that could only be done with one eye open and one closed. One must not take them to heart. Compared to watching her mother angry like death everyday, she preferred her mother to be able to live without a care in the world.
As long as he didn't have to do anything, his life would be much easier.
Time flew by quickly as he talked with his mother. Originally, he had thought that Lu Xunqian would arrive at 5: 30 PM. However, he had not arrived even though it was already 6 am.
"What happened? Did something happen to him?" Mother Chu frowned as she looked at Chu Xinxia, "Why don't you make a call and ask?"
Chu Xinxia nodded and picked up her phone to call Lu Xunqian.
Only after fighting for a long time did Lu Xunqian pick up the phone. Before Chu Xinxia could even open her mouth, she heard a woman's voice.
"Who are you looking for?"
Chu Xinxia felt as if she had been hit by a bullet. Her whole body was stiff and she didn't know what to do.
"Is Lu Xunqian here?"
"Ah, Xu Qian. He's taking a bath. Who are you?"
"He doesn't have my number on his phone?"
"Are you sick? "Who the hell are you? Why are you saving your phone number?" Then, the other side directly hung up the phone.
Chu Xinxia couldn't say what she felt in her heart, but what she was sure of was that it must have been very ugly.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing that Chu Xinxia's expression wasn't good, Chu Mu's mother quickly came over and asked, "Are you okay now?"
"Mom, it's nothing. It's just that something happened to the customer. He won't be able to come tonight." Chu Xinxia laughed out loud, "Let's eat together."
"Hey, why isn't he here anymore? How can we eat so much? Xin Xia, tell Mom the truth. What's going on? "
"Mom, it's fine." Chu Xin Xia stopped talking and pulled her mother to the dining table. No matter how she asked, Chu Xinxia didn't speak again.
Seeing her upset, Chu Mu's mother asked a few times but couldn't get a single word out, so she could only keep her mouth shut.
