Author: LOLITA IN D key MACHINE TRANSLATION
“It’s quite delicious. Lu Xiangru, you have the potential to be a chef. ”
He smiled but didn’t say anything. In fact, his family had a father and mother who could cook. He had learned some superficial things from the experience. Compared to the two chefs at home, he could only make do.
“Have you learned it? ” He suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a charming smile.
She bit the fork with a confused expression on her face. “It should be enough. You can just remind me when the time comes. ”
He nodded, indicating for him to go upstairs to take a shower and let her study on her own.
Xu Shenshen was a smart and diligent child. Although there was no one around to supervise her, she had already begun to prepare dinner for tonight. In addition to the Spaghetti that he had just taught her, she had also made a Chinese dish for herself.
When Lu Xiangru came downstairs, the aroma of the dishes drifted into his nose. He turned his head to look at the dishes in the living room, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Other than Su Mianmian at home who would prepare these for him, no other woman had ever prepared dinner for him. This feeling was very comfortable.
“You’re done washing? Just in time. It’s time to eat. I’ll go get you a bowl! ” Her behavior was similar to Xu Shenshen at school. Lu Xiangru knew very well that she would fawn over him like this because of the 500,000 yuan.
“there are so many dishes. I can’t finish them all by myself, and I don’t have the habit of wasting them. Come over and eat with me. ” He pulled out a chair and sat down, beckoning her to sit next to him.
Xu Shenshen had originally thought that she could just go to a corner to eat. He was now her God, her breadwinner, and she still had to rely on him to get the 500,000 yuan.
Under his inviting gaze, she helplessly pulled out a chair and sat down.
He pushed the bowl in front of her and gestured for her to fill the bowl with Rice. Xu Shenshen picked up the spoon and scooped the rice for him, taking the opportunity to state her conditions “Lu Xiangru, can you give me my 500,000 yuan all at once? Don’t worry, I won’t cheat. I will stay by your side and serve you until you send me away. Is that alright? ” She bit her lower lip She looked at him pitifully.
Lu Xiangru picked up the bowl and nodded. “I’ll give it to you tomorrow, but you must live here from now on. Bring all your things here. From tomorrow onwards, you’re mine. Without my permission, you can’t escape. Otherwise, the price will be too much for you to bear. ”
Xu Shenshen heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she could get five hundred thousand from him, she was willing to do anything.
“then can I go home tonight? I have to go back and explain to my mother so that she won’t worry. ”
He nodded. He wasn’t that overbearing. He even took away her time to see her family.
Xu Shenshen arrived at the Lin family home very late. Lin Rou saw her daughter dragging her exhausted body into the living room. She quickly put on some clothes and came out. “Shenshen, why are you back so late? Have you had dinner? ”
“Mom, I already ate. I ate at a friend’s house. ”
Lin Rou didn’t doubt him and called out, “that’s good. Rest early. You still have class tomorrow. DON’T BE LATE! ”
Xu Shenshen hurriedly called out to her “Mom, I want to tell you something. From tomorrow onwards, I’m going to live on campus. Because it’s going to be the final exams soon, I’m running around the school and home every day. I’m afraid that it will delay my final exams, so I’ve decided to move to the school dormitory tomorrow. ”
Lin rou looked at her daughter and her heart was filled with heartache. “Shenshen, if you want to live on campus, then go and live there! I’ll be relieved when you’re gone. I won’t be at ease when you’re living with me in fear all day. ”
She put down her bag, came over to hug her, and said with a smile, “mom, there’s one more thing I want to tell you. I’ve already thought of a way to return uncle’s money! ”
Lin rou pushed her away in surprise and looked at her curiously “Shen Shen, where did you get so much money? Five hundred thousand isn’t a small amount. Don’t do anything stupid outside without telling me! If your dead father finds out, I’ll really be too ashamed to go down and see him! ”
She patted her mother’s back and said with a smile, “mom, don’t worry. My principle as a person is never to sell my body. Just go to sleep peacefully. Don’t worry about me! I’ll take good care of myself. ”
Lin rou wiped away her tears and nodded, “okay, then mom will go to sleep. Don’t do anything stupid. ”
“Okay, okay. ”
Seeing Lin rou enter the room to rest, Xu Shenshen finally let out a sigh of relief. Her uncle’s money had been paid back, and she could continue to go to class. She felt that the heavens had been kind to her. The only pain was that she would have to live with Lu Xiangru in the future She hoped that nothing would go wrong.
She went to school as usual, but before she could enter her class, she was called over by the teacher’s assistant.
The teacher’s assistant was a girl. This girl was one of the girls who had stuffed something into her lock that day. She looked at her with a hint of contempt and indifference.
She did not care about the look in the girl’s eyes. She knocked on the teacher’s office door until the teacher let her in.
Xu Shenshen closed the door and walked in front of the teacher. She asked respectfully, “teacher, are you looking for me? ”
The teacher shook her head and placed a stack of photos on the table for her to look at.
Xu Shenshen picked up the photos in confusion and looked at them. The next second, her face turned very pale. Her lips trembled as she explained, “teacher, I can explain. ”
“Xu Shenshen, I always thought that you were a good student who wouldn’t even panic. Other than your family being a little poor, your grades have always been ranked second in the entire school. To be honest, even the teachers couldn’t bear to suspect that you would go to such a place, but what is all this “How are you going to explain it to me “Not only did you go to such a place, but you also lied to the principal. You said that you took leave to take care of your sick relatives, but what happened in the end? ”
Faced with the teacher’s questioning, Xu Shenshen’s face turned red. “Director, I was forced to go to such a place. My uncle owed a lot of money to others. If I don’t pay back the money for my uncle, those people will kill my uncle. ”
The director sighed “I know you are also filial, but how can you lie in front of the principal? The teacher can’t help you with this matter! ” The principal has already said that if you don’t get first place in the school at the end of the term this year, you will be disqualified from the scholarship and will be expelled from the school. It’s up to you!”
Xu Shenshen’s face was as Pale as a piece of paper. She put her hands by her side and her body kept trembling. First Place in the school If it was really that easy to take the exam, she wouldn’t have to get second place every time Would Lu Xiangru give up the first place to her The answer was obvious. No, so there were only two paths in front of her now. One was to find a way to get first place, and the other was to drop out of school.
Walking out of the teacher-in-charge’s office and in the corridor on the second floor, she accidentally bumped into Lu Xiangru and his best friend, Er Gou, who had just come to class.
The two of them accidentally brushed past each other. Lu Xiangru frowned and stopped. He turned around and shouted, “Xu Shenshen! ”
Xu Shenshen was slow for half a beat. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Yes, what’s wrong? ”
He wouldn’t want all the students in the school to know that she was completely taken over by him now?
He smiled and said, “it’s okay. There’s no money on the ground to pick up. Don’t keep your head down. Be careful not to bump into people. ”
She nodded and turned to go down the stairs.
Lu Xiangru stood where he was and was in a very good mood. Er Gou, who was next to him, began to gossip. “Young Master Lu, you seem to be in a good mood recently! Why do you smile so much when you see Xu Shenshen? Don’t tell me you really like that girl? ”
“So what if I like her? ” He did not refute, directly confirming his good impression of Xu Shenshen.
Er Gou was stunned for a moment and began to laugh. “Young Master Lu, tell me, when did you start to like that girl? That girl is not bad looking, but she seems to be a little tough. She must be very chewy when she eats. ”
He did not have the time to pay attention to Er Gou. He only felt that he was in a very good mood. However, this happy mood did not last long before it was quickly destroyed by the appearance of a certain person.
“Lu Xiangru, come out! ” The figure of a girl suddenly appeared outside the classroom. The girl was dressed very fashionably and her attitude towards Lu Xiangru was very arrogant. This girl was Lu Xiangru’s childhood sweetheart, Xie Waner.
Xie Waner was the daughter of a certain company. She was a business partner with Lu Xiangdong’s father. The two families lived in the same neighborhood. They had played together since they were young. Xie Waner’s personality was very overbearing. As long as it was something she liked.. There was nothing she couldn’t get.
The reason why Lu Xiangru played with her was that he thought this girl was very funny. However, as he got older, she became even more clingy to him. She often skipped class to look for him at school. However, he didn’t like her personality.
The moment he saw Xie waner dressed in red, he felt an excruciating pain. What was wrong with this girl She even came to look for him during class time. How F * CKING BORING!
Er Gou poked his head in his direction and revealed an envious look.
“Young Master Lu, your childhood sweetheart is here. This girl is pretty. ”
Lu Xiangru rolled his eyes at him. “She’s from the Appearance Association. If you like her, go and help me block her! ”
Er Gou chuckled. “FORGET IT! That girl can bite people. ”
Er Gou had met Xie Waner a few times, but that girl was completely violent. She was a force to be reckoned with.
“I want to live longer! Think of a way to deal with her yourself! ”
HOW SHAMELESS If he could chase that girl away, he wouldn’t have let him block her.
Xie Waner’s actions outside the classroom attracted the attention of others. The people sitting in the classroom turned their heads to discuss.
“Who is that girl? Why is she calling young Master Lu that way? ”
“Didn’t you see that she’s wearing brand names? Maybe she’s the daughter of a certain company. ”
“Even if she’s the daughter of a rich family, there’s no need to be so ostentatious, right? She’s shameless! ”
Just as everyone was discussing, Lu Xiangru stood up and walked towards the person outside the classroom. In front of everyone, he pulled her out of the classroom.
“Wow, young master LU actually went out! Could that girl be young Master Lu’s girlfriend? OMG, I can’t believe that young Master Lu actually likes girls like that! ”
“What do you know! Maybe Young Master Lu went out just to drag that girl away. I’m also annoyed by looking at him! ”
Lu Xiangru threw her aside and glared at her, asking, “Xie Waner, have you had enough? Who told you to look for me at school! Dressed like this, are you going to be a JI? ”
Xie waner smiled indifferently.
“You really don’t have good taste. I am wearing brand names. How can a chicken be so beautiful? ” She did not understand the ridicule in his words at all and was still gloating.
Lu Xiangru rolled his eyes. She was a pig, a stupid pig.
“I don’t care what brand name you’re wearing. Go back quickly. Don’t come here and Embarrass Yourself! If your father finds out that you skipped class to come here, he will definitely not let you off! ”
Xie waner began to pout. This was her usual action. As long as it did not suit her feelings, she would stick to him.
“My father will not find out. As long as you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, no one will know that I’m here. ”
She was used to skipping class. Even the teachers and principal of the school could not do anything to her, let alone Lu Xiangru.
Lu Xiangru raised his watch and looked at the time. School was about to end. He did not have time to talk nonsense with her. He was going to wait for Xu Shenshen at the school gate later. He did not want Xie Waner to know that Xu Shenshen was staying at his place.
“Xie Waner, I don’t care if you skip classes, but please don’t disturb me. I still have a class to attend. SEE YOU OUT! ”
Xie waner twisted his arm and acted coquettishly. “Xiangru, don’t go to class. She came all the way here to look for you. You should at least compensate her by going out to play until dark! ”
This was Xie Waner. Other than acting coquettishly and being a typical clingy person, Lu Xiangru couldn’t stand her personality and pestering him.
“Xie Waner, let go. If you don’t let go, I’ll call uncle and tell him. Let’s see if you dare to skip class and look for me in the future! ” When Lu Xiangru was angry, he completely gave her face.
Although she had an arrogant personality, she was still quite afraid of her father. She pursed her lips and was very unhappy.
“Lu Xiangru, you bastard. Others came all the way here for you, but you treat me like this! I hate you! ”
So be it He did not need her to like him.
“see you out, take care! ”
Xie Waner stomped her feet angrily and left.
She would not let this matter go just like that. When there was a suitable opportunity, she would come and harass him again. He knew her too well.
Xu Shenshen did not think of going back with Lu Xiangru, because that would only attract more attention. She did not want the whole school to know that she was staying at Lu Xiangru’s home. Even if nothing happened between the two of them, others would still think that way.
As she was thinking, the sound of a horn honking came from behind her. Xu Shenshen turned around and saw that it was actually Lu Xiangru. There was a person sitting in the back seat — Er Gou.
Er Gou lowered the car window and waved at her. “Hi, beautiful, get in the car! ”
Three black bars slid down Xu shenshen’s forehead… …
“Get in, ” Lu Xiangru also said.
Judging from the situation, er Gou probably knew that she lived with him. She opened the door of the front passenger seat and got in.
Er Gou leaned on the back of her car and asked with a smile, “beautiful, are you interested in going on a vacation together someday? ”
“vacation? ” She was stunned. In her world, apart from earning money to go to school, there was nothing else, let alone a vacation. It was so luxurious!
“What’s the matter? You don’t have time? ” Er Gou deliberately showed a disappointed expression.
Lu Xiangru, who was beside him, glanced at him and told him to behave himself.
Er Gou turned around and continued to chat with her. “I heard that the scenery overseas is pretty good. Shen Shen, do you want to go with us? ”
“Will you pay for it? ” She said half-jokingly.
“Young Master Lu, right? Young Master Lu? ” Er Gou pointed the finger at Lu Xiangru.
Lu Xiangru pursed his lips but didn’t refuse.
“Look… Young Master Lu has agreed. Young Master Lu has money. This sports CAR IS WORTH MILLIONS! ”
Xu Shenshen opened her mouth and thought, rich people are extravagant. If I gave her a few million, she would spend a long time!
“Er Gou, I heard that you gave a girl a diamond ring worth a million yesterday. My father would never give me a million for a diamond ring… ”
Er Gou chuckled and asked him to stop at the intersection ahead.
“Shen Shen, I’ll get off first. Let’s go on a trip together another day. I’ll pay for it. ”
Xu Shenshen took it as if he was joking with her and didn’t take it to heart. She nodded at him. “Take Care. Thank you! ”
Er Gou closed the car door, waved at them, and turned to leave.
Lu Xiangru restarted the car and suddenly said, “Er Gou, he’s quite a good person. He said that he would treat you to a trip, so he will definitely treat you. ”
Xu Shenshen widened her eyes in disbelief. “Do all rich people waste money like this? ”
“This is not called waste, it’s called spiritual entertainment. You can do it too. ”
She sneered, “when I become as rich as you, I think I can do it too! ”
“There’s nothing impossible with me! Xu Shenshen, you have to believe that you’re my person, how can I treat you unfairly! ” He turned his face and smiled at her.
“Young Master Lu’s words are too serious, I have to correct you. I’m your servant, and there’s a big difference between me and you. Please think before you speak, young Master Lu. Otherwise, people will misunderstand. ”
“It seems that you have understood! Not Bad, you are worth teaching! ” He always had a smile on his face, and he did not look serious at all.
She turned her head out of the car window and refused to talk to him.
Lu Xiangru opened the door, took off his shoes, and turned on the lights in the living room. Xu Shenshen followed him in.
He asked her to cook, and he was about to go upstairs to take a shower when his phone, which he had left on the SOFA, suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his family.
“Mom, what’s the matter? ”
“You’re coming back tonight, right? Your sister and your brother-in-law are going home tonight. You should come back as soon as possible, ” Su Mianmian reminded him over the phone.
Lu Xiangru looked at Xu Shenshen in the kitchen and replied, “mom, it’s not convenient for me tonight. ”
“What’s not convenient? It’s rare for your sister and your brother-in-law to come back. Aren’t you coming back to see your sister and your brother-in-law? ”
Lu Xiangru thought of Lu Yimo, whom he had not seen for a few months. In the end, he only said, “mom, I’ll be home in two hours. Don’t wait for me to eat. I’ve already eaten. ”
Subconsciously, he wanted to have dinner with Xu Shenshen.
After hanging up the phone, he walked towards the kitchen and called out to Xu Shenshen, “just make a few dishes. I’m in a hurry, so I won’t be coming back to stay tonight. Remember to close the windows. ”
Xu Shenshen nodded. “where are you going? ”
“To the Lu family. My sister is back today. I want to go back and see her. ” Lu Xiangru’s face was a little happy at the mention of Lu Yimo.
“Um. ” Although he had never met his sister, he thought deeply that his sister should be a beauty too, right?
Lu Xiangru casually ate some food and left the villa.
Xu Shenshen tidied up the things on the table, turned on the television in the living room and started watching TV. Living alone in such a big villa, she was still a little scared.
The phone in the living room suddenly rang, giving her a fright. She grabbed the phone in the living room and answered the call.
Su Mianmian thought she heard wrong. How could there be a girl’s voice in her son’s villa? She called to ask if he had left, but a strange phenomenon happened.
She elbowed Lu Xiangdong, who was reading the newspaper, and passed the phone to Lu Xiangdong’s ear.
“Hello? Are you looking for Lu Xiangru? He’s not at home right now. If you have something important, you can tell me and I’ll pass it on to him. ” Xu Shenshen did not know that the other party was Lu Xiangru’s mother, so she thought she was looking for Lu Xiangru’s friend.
Lu Xiangdong also put down the newspaper in shock and asked in a low voice, “who are you? Why are you in my son’s villa? ”
Xu Shenshen was confused. “You… i… ”
She hung up the phone in fear. What should she do Did Lu Xiangru’s parents already know of her existence Did she cause trouble for Lu Xiangru?
She wanted to call Lu Xiangru, but she found that she didn’t save his phone number, so she could only wait for the next day to tell him about it.
Lu Xiangru opened the door and came in. The room was filled with laughter.
Then, Lu Yimo got up and ran towards him. “Xiangru, you’re back! ”
“SISTER, brother-in-law! ” He called Lu Yimo and nodded at Ouyang Que.
Ouyang que and Lu Yimo had brought him a gift when they arrived. He stood up and brought the gift over. “Xiangru, this is a gift for you. See if you like it! ”
Lu Xiangru curled his lips. “Thank you, sister, brother-in-law, for the gift! ”
Lu Xiangdong and Su Mianmian sighed in silence.
Suddenly, Lu Xiangdong said, “Lu Xiangru, who is the girl in your villa? Did you sleep with her? ”
Lu Xiangru was stunned. He did not understand how he knew about Xu Shenshen!
Su Mianmian saw her son’s confusion and quickly explained, “I called you just now to ask if you were here. In the end, a girl answered the phone for you. We asked her a few questions, and she hung up. ”
Lu Xiangru pursed his lips and smiled, “don’t look at me like I’m a criminal. We are classmates. I felt sorry for her, so I took money to help her. Now she is cooking, washing, and paying for me in my villa. WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING! ”
Lu Xiangdong did not believe that his son would really let the girl go. If he was really not interested in that girl, he would not help her pay back the money.
“What? Xiangru, why didn’t I see that you were so caring? Are you interested in her? ” Lu Yimo patted his chest and questioned.
Su Mianmian was also confused. “Xiangru, how much money did you return for that girl? ”
“Mom, not much, just 500,000! ”
Everyone was speechless. 500,000 was not much In the eyes of Lu Xiangru, how much was too much Even if you were to send a beggar away, you would not need so much money!
Lu Xiangdong’s eyes darkened. “I don’t care why you helped her, but I must warn you, before you reach adulthood, don’t mess around. Be careful not to get someone pregnant! ”
Lu Xiangru rolled his eyes at his father. Did he look like that kind of person Even if he wanted to, she might not agree to it Besides, what he was concerned about now was not this, but how to make her like him.
“I’m so hungry. Is there anything to eat? When I’m full, you can interrogate me again! ” Lu Xiangru said improperly.
Everyone cut in.
“Didn’t you eat? The servants have taken away the dishes. ” Su Mianmian glared at her son impolitely.
Lu Xiangru laughed dryly. He was actually not that hungry. He just wanted to change the topic.
Ouyang que hugged his wife and leaned against the SOFA to watch TV. Lu Xiangdong began to speak, “Yi Mo, take Ouyang que up to rest. As for you, Lu Xiangru, don’t go back tonight! ”
Lu Xiangru was a little worried about leaving Xu Shenshen alone in the villa. He stood up and explained, “Dad, I came back to see my sister. Now that I’ve seen her, it’s time for me to leave. ”
“Lu Xiangru, you better understand what you’re doing! As for whether you want to leave or stay, it’s your freedom. I don’t have the right to interfere. ” Lu Xiangdong also made his stance clear Back then, because of Yi Mo’s matter, his relationship with his daughter had become very strained. Now, he did not want to have a strained relationship with his son because of a strange girl.
Lu Xiangru knew that he was concerned about him. That was why he kept reminding himself not to do anything he regretted.
He had his own thoughts. He would not casually touch a girl. Moreover, the reason why he brought her into the villa was out of pity and sympathy for her.
Seeing that she was living such a hard life every day, he wanted to help her. However, he knew her personality. She would not easily accept the kindness of others. He could only think of this way to let her stay in his villa This way, she could have the same breakfast as him every day and live a different life.
Xu Shenshen did not know that he was so meticulous. She only knew that he had helped her a great deal. She stayed to repay the debt, but she also knew very well that other than cooking for him and washing his clothes, she actually ate better than anyone else.
It was thunder and rain outside. Xu Shenshen had been afraid of thunder since she was young. The moment she heard Thunder, she felt that the house was about to collapse She hid under the blanket, her body shivering.
“PA! ” A huge thunder came from the window. The raindrops hit the window, making a very frightening sound.
Xu Shenshen, who was hiding under the blanket, took a deep breath. A pair of eyes peeked out from under the blanket, and both of her hands tightly grabbed the corner of the blanket to wrap herself up.
“PA! ” Lu Xiangru turned on the living room light, took off his coat, and looked upstairs. It was only ten o’clock at night. was she asleep?
Holding the escalator, he walked upstairs step by step. He found that the door of her room did not seem to be locked. He curiously poked his head in and saw that there was a ball curled up on the bed. He quietly walked over.
“Xu Shenshen? Asleep? ”
He placed his hand on the raised blanket and patted it.
