Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]
Chapter 55 Aunt Xue is very busy
"Master, madam, Miss Yiping is here."
Because the banquet was more than halfway through, so someone came here suddenly, which surprised everyone present, so for a while, everyone in the hall focused on Lu Yiping who was standing at the door.
Being watched by so many people at the same time, Lu Yiping did not show any timidity.
To be exact, she knew that today was Ruping's birthday before she came here, and according to Aunt Xue's temperament, when she arrived, maybe the Lu family might be celebrating Ruping's birthday.
Therefore, before entering the door, Lu Yiping was not too surprised when she heard the happy voice coming from the door.
However, when she saw Lu Ruping, who was surrounded by everyone, shining like stars holding the moon, the jealousy that quickly grew from the deepest part of her heart still made Lu Yiping's heart tighten a few times in an instant.
But soon, she came back to her senses.
She never forgot that she was never a welcome guest in this Lu family.
"Dad, Aunt Xue, I'm here." Lu Yiping forced an unnatural smile on Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin, trying to calmly say.
Most of the guests who came to the birthday party today are Ruping's friends or sisters who are close friends with Wang Xueqin, and these people only made friends after the Lu family moved to Shanghai, so they know the intricate relationship of the Lu family. There are not many people.
And Yiping's mother and daughter moved out of the Lu family not long after arriving in Shanghai four years ago, so there are only a few people who know that Lu Yiping is a child of the Lu family.
The music on the gramophone never stopped, so although the conversations in the living room stagnated for a moment after Lu Yiping entered the door, everyone chatted in twos and threes soon, but their attention was always focused on the front door. Standing in embarrassment on the girl called "Miss Yiping" by the servants of the Lu family.
The girls in the Lu family all have the character Ping in their names, like Lu Ruping, Lu Mengping.
So what is the relationship between this girl named "Yiping" and the Lu family?
For a moment, the gossip desire in everyone's heart was aroused a little bit higher.
"Yiping, you came here today, come in quickly, we just cut the cake, can I cut a piece for you?" Seeing that Lu Yiping was standing at the door, Lu Ruping hurried to the door and took her hand walk down the hall.
Seeing Yiping, she was really happy.
Lu Yiping didn't break free from her hand, and nodded to Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin. After receiving Mr. Lu's response, Lu Yiping followed Ruping into the hall.
As she walked, she looked at the people in the living room.
These people, the men are all in suits and leather shoes, the women are all surrounded by jewels and emeralds, and Ruping, who is holding her hand, is obviously the protagonist of today, a pink cheongsam and hair accessories set her off like a peach blossom slowly blooming in the spring breeze .
And she herself... subconsciously looked down at the sauce-colored cheongsam on her body, which was cut from coarse cloth without any pattern at all. Lu Yiping gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt her face was hot.
She felt that she was totally out of place here, and those people seemed to be looking at her with curiosity and contempt.
With a slight force on the wrist, she broke away from the wrist held by Ruping.When Lu Ruping looked at her with some surprise, Lu Yiping turned her gaze away.
In the next second, her footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the man who was also looking at her with a smile at this moment, Lu Yiping couldn't recover for a while.
He Shuhuan...?
He is here too!
After a brief surprise, Lu Yiping quickly came back to her senses, and there was a trace of bitterness in her heart that even she felt inexplicable.
That's right, in fact, when she met He Shuhuan for the second time, she already knew that he and Lu Ruping were friends, didn't she?He would notice himself, perhaps because of her similar name to Lu Ruping and Lu Mengping.
Lu Yiping has long known that today is Lu Ruping's birthday, after all their birthdays are only ten days apart.
She knew that she and Lu Ruping were completely different in her father's eyes. Although they were both father's daughters and were born in the same month of the same year, it could be seen from their birthdays every year that for these two daughters, what was father's choice? I care more about who to favor more.
Dad doesn't even remember her birthday!
But ten days after she and her mother spent her birthday alone, she held such a grand birthday party for Ruping.
This is not the first time.
In previous years, she could act as if she didn't know anything, or she could say that she didn't care at all and disdain such sensational birthday parties.
But this year is different.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiping's eyes fell on He Shuhuan.
She likes He Shuhuan, and He Shuhuan probably likes her too.
Ten days ago, when He Shuhuan suddenly appeared at her door on her birthday, and helped her celebrate her birthday with her mother and Lieutenant Li, and gave her a birthday present, Lu Yiping has never been like that for a moment. So I'm sure, He Shuhuan likes her.
But that day, until He Shuhuan left, he still didn't say the words she had been waiting for.
So today, when she thought that today was Lu Ruping's birthday, and that He Shuhuan was Lu Ruping's friend, she lied to her mother and came to Lu's house desperately under the pretext of coming to get living expenses.
And He Shuhuan was indeed here.
Although her gaze was still greedily lingering on He Shuhuan's face, Lu Yiping's heart sank gradually.
Because for a moment, she was suddenly not sure if He Shuhuan really liked her.
If He Shuhuan really liked her, why wouldn't he draw a line with the Lu family?
He Shuhuan clearly knew how much she hated everything about the Lu family.
Just when everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, they saw that He Shuhuan, who had been staring at the girl named "Miss Yiping" since she entered the door, walked quickly in three steps. Lu Yiping stepped forward, and said in a voice that was so gentle that it was almost dripping water: "Yiping, I didn't expect you to come here."
Lu Yiping, who came back to her senses, saw that He Shuhuan completely disregarded other people's eyes, just stood in front of her so openly, and looked at her with such affectionate eyes, her heart was relieved for a moment, she didn't even think about it, just use her When getting along with He Shuhuan, he always replied in a slightly stinging tone: "Since you are here, why can't I be here?"
He Shuhuan smiled kindly, apparently not caring about Lu Yiping's bad temper, and said something to Lu Yiping in a low voice.
These two people were actually right in the middle of the Lu family's hall, exchanging greetings like no one else was there.
When Lu Yiping broke away from Lu Ruping's hand, Lu Ruping noticed that Lu Yiping's mood seemed not very good.
Just when he was about to ask Yiping what was wrong, he saw He Shuhuan running up to Yiping affectionately. The two looked at each other, which almost made everyone present goosebumps.
Subconsciously stroking her arm, Lu Mengping moved closer to Lu Ruping, and whispered in a strange voice: "Why is Yiping here? Did you invite her?"
Lu Ruping was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and replied in a low voice: "No, I was scolded by Yiping when I went to send money to Aunt Pei, and I haven't seen Yiping since then, after all, I don't want to You can't find happiness for yourself."
Lu Mengping curled her lips, "It's fine if you didn't invite her. Usually when she comes over, she always looks like we owe her tens of thousands of dollars. I don't know what she's here for today. I've been with He Shuhuan since I entered the door. Kiss me in public, do you want the guests to see our Lu family's jokes?"
Although Lu Mengping said this bluntly, it was not an exaggeration, because Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan were standing too close at this time, so that those guests who had been paying attention to her since she entered the door, now looked at Lu Yiping, The gazes of He Shuhuan and Lu Ruping gradually became ambiguous——
Obviously, I just heard someone say that when I saw the photo of Lu Ruping being embraced by He Shuhuan, why did it take so long to see this boy named He Shuhuan meeting that girl named "Yiping" again?
Although Lu Ruping didn't know what everyone was thinking, it was obviously not the case to let Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan be affectionate in the middle of the hall.
So after hearing Mengping's complaint, Lu Ruping also quickly came to Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan, and said with a smile: "Yiping, Shuhuan, stop standing here in a daze. Today is my birthday, Yiping and He Shuhuan I'll eat cake."
After finishing speaking, regardless of He Shuhuan's reaction, he pulled Lu Yiping and walked inside.
Lu Yiping subconsciously wanted to break free, but felt that the strength on her wrist was a little tighter.
Looking at Lu Ruping with displeasure, Ruping slightly raised her eyebrows and asked her with a low smile, "Yiping, are you still angry with me?"
Lu Yiping was startled, "Why should I be angry with you?"
Seeing that she really didn't react, Lu Ruping couldn't help but raise the curvature of her lips, and said softly: "I thought you were still angry because of what I said to Aunt Pei last time, it seems that I If you think too much, it’s good that you’re not angry. I thought you were angry just now, so I stood in the middle of the hall and refused to come in.”
After Lu Ruping said this, Lu Yiping realized that other people in the living room looked at her strangely.
It suddenly occurred to her mind that just now she had stared at He Shuhuan for so long in full view, Lu Yiping's face turned red, and her heart was filled with sweetness and annoyance at the same time.
Seeing that Lu Ruping finally brought her in, Liu Rongrong hurried over and asked, "Ruping, who is this lady?"
Hearing her question, everyone immediately perked up their ears.
Lu Ruping didn't hide it, and introduced Lu Yiping to everyone with a smile, "This is Lu Yiping, my sister."
More, but no more revealed.
Almost all the people sitting here are experts in observing words and emotions, their status and the environment in which they grew up made them chew on Lu Ruping's words in their hearts.
In their cognition, the Lu family only had four children, but Lu Ruping said that Lu Yiping was her older sister.
From what Lu Yiping called the mistress of the Lu family "Aunt Xue" just now, it can be seen that she is obviously not Wang Xueqin's child.
As for what old man Lu did in the past, these people who had good relations with the Lu family naturally knew more or less. After all, in the era of warlord separatism, the reputation of "Black Leopard" was also well-known in the Northeast.
So for a while, everyone looked at Lu Yiping with some deep meaning.
Naturally, Lu Yiping, Lu Ruping and the others were not aware of this.
Although Lu Ruping was very surprised, why did Yiping come here today.You must know that although her and Yiping's birthdays are only ten days apart, in the past few years, Yiping has never been here on her birthday.
Thinking of this, Lu Ruping asked, "Yiping, why did you come here today?"
While speaking, he handed the cut cake to Lu Yiping.
"Why, don't you welcome me?" She dug a small piece of cake with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth. The rich and silky taste of cream spread in her mouth. Feeling jealous, ask back.
Lu Ruping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Why, I said just now, I'm very happy that you can come."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Lu Yiping seemed to like the cake in her hand very much, Lu Ruping narrowed her eyes with a smile, "This is the cake that Er Hao just brought back this morning. It is from Guansheng Garden. We all like it very much. If it wasn't for my birthday today, I wouldn't be here in a year. I can't eat it a few times."
Guanshengyuan...
Lowering her eyes, Lu Yiping suddenly felt that the original fragrance in her mouth gradually became tasteless.
Just such a piece of cake, maybe it will soon catch up with the living expenses of her and her mother for half a month, right?
Although she knew that Ruping was different from her, at this moment, Lu Yiping still felt strongly unwilling.
Putting down the cake that she had only eaten two bites of, Lu Yiping suddenly felt that it might be a mistake for her to come here today.
Seeing Lu Yiping put down the cake, her face was a little gloomy, and Lu Ruping didn't know what was wrong with her for a while, "Yiping...don't you like this cake?"
Lu Yiping wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Lu Ruping with a non-smiling smile, "Thank you for the cake, and I wish you a happy birthday. Actually, I came here today to collect living expenses. I didn't expect to interrupt your birthday."
"This is your home too, don't bother me if there is nothing to disturb." Lu Ruping said with a smile.
Lu Yiping took a deep look at her, finally nodded to her, and then turned to Mr. Lu.
He Shuhuan, who was behind her, was about to say something to her, but found that Lu Yiping didn't even look at him, as if he was air, and walked straight in the direction of Mr. Lu.
Everyone saw Lu Yiping's attitude just now, and He Shuhuan, who had been following her all the time, naturally saw it clearly.
Although I don't know why Yiping's attitude is so strange, it is an indisputable fact that her arrival made the originally warm atmosphere cool down, so after Yiping left here, He Shuhuan immediately said to Lu Ruping with some embarrassment: "Ruping , Sorry, Yiping seems to be in a bad mood today."
Lu Ruping showed a faint smile, apparently not caring.
Lu Mengping looked at He Shuhuan with a funny face, "Strange, no matter what Yiping said, she is also from our Lu family. Why did He Shuhuan apologize to Ruping for her?"
As for whether Lu Yiping is in a good mood, what does it have to do with them?
It was supposed to be a good birthday party, but it was fine for Lu Yiping to come uninvited, but after she came, she still looked like she was dragging [-] to [-] yuan!
If it weren't for Ruping's birthday today, and there are so many guests, Lu Mengping would have lost her temper!
Although today is the second time I have come into contact with Lu Mengping, He Shuhuan has already seen the sharp mouth of this young lady of the Lu family, and he doesn't know why. From the first time Lu Mengping saw him, it seemed that Having a prejudice against him made He Shuhuan, who was used to going smoothly since he was a child, couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
However, fortunately, Ruping's temperament has always been so gentle, presumably Ruping would not care about Yiping's faux pas just now.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Lu Ruping, but saw that Lu Ruping didn't look at her at all. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lu Mengping, who was beside him with an angry face, and smiled and comforted her.
Lu Mengping, who was originally wrinkled, quickly laughed out, and looked at Lu Ruping complainingly, but then obviously ignored Lu Yiping's affairs.
In fact, Lu Ruping was in Lu Mengping's ear, but simply teased, "Mengping, pay attention to your ladylike image".
The first time Lu Mengping heard Lu Ruping's words, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately afterwards, she thought that she was clearly standing out for Ruping, but why she was always called not a lady by her mother and Ruping because of this. For a while, Lu Mengping complained a little, "I'm not for you!"
Smiling and pinching Lu Mengping's face, Lu Ruping comforted in a low voice, "Okay, I know you are doing it for my own good. Mengping has always liked me and protected me very much. I am very happy."
It was the first time to hear such words from Ruping so straightforwardly, Lu Mengping's smiling face turned red instantly, and stammered: "Who, who likes you!"
For Lu Mengping's duplicity, Lu Ruping didn't know much about it, so she just smiled kindly, "Yes, yes, I was wrong, Mengping actually doesn't like me at all."
After finishing speaking, Lu Mengping was visibly annoyed again. She wanted to deny it, but felt a little ashamed. For a moment, Lu Ruping couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Mengping rolled her eyes at her angrily, and she finally understood that Ruping is just a gun-wielding mouse in a nest, and he will use his strength against the few people in the family who have a good relationship with her.
After teasing Mengping for a while, and finally getting Mengping to divert her attention from Yiping, Lu Ruping called her friends to eat again.
Rourou's eyes inadvertently fell on Yiping who was talking to her parents. Although Lu Ruping felt a little sour in her heart, she was more relieved.
My mother said to her before, Ruping, you have to remember that no matter how much you like Yiping, you and her are not the same mother after all.
What you get in exchange for your heart and soul may often not be a kind return.
Lu Ruping remembered that when her mother was chatting with her, she would occasionally laugh and tease her, saying, Ruping, you have a very good temper, but because you are so good, it is easy to do bad things with good intentions.
Mom said, you care too much about what other people think.
No one can please everyone.
Lu Ruping used to naively think that as long as she treats others well, they will treat her well, like her, and repay her with equal affection.
But even Mengping said to her seriously: "In this world, besides mom and dad, me, Erhao, and Erjie, who else would treat you well without asking for anything in return? Don't be naive anymore." .”
Lu Ruping will always remember that time, when she had a dispute with Mengping because of Yiping's problem, Mengping, who has always been hot-tempered, scolded her unceremoniously.
At that time, Mengping said, Ruping, can you stop being so close to Yiping?You always say that Yiping and Aunt Pei are pitiful, don't we?Everything we have is earned by our mother. What qualifications do we have to sympathize with others?
You always like to be a good person and always say that we are too harsh on Yiping, but when Yiping cursed me and my mother, where were you?Who has been taking care of us for so many years, who has given us everything we need to grow up?Does all this have anything to do with Lu Yiping?Could it be that for her liking, everything that mother and we do is just air in your eyes?
Can you stop being so hypocritical? !
Yes, hypocrisy, and vanity.
Mengping, who has always been a little sister in her eyes, made Lu Ruping almost invisible with her sharp words at that moment.
She really likes the feeling of being liked by people, so she always wants to be more considerate and share more with others, because in this way, everyone will like her more.
She knew that Yiping didn't like her, but she wanted Yiping to like her, so she ignored her mother and Mengping's censure time and time again, and always found various reasons for Yiping.
But Mengping's words prevented her from continuing to pretend.
Er Hao said that after entering university, it is time to truly mature. Use your eyes and your heart to see the world, and everything is not as beautiful as you thought.
So after entering St. John's, what she did most every day was not to study, but to observe all kinds of people she met in St. John's while studying. Later, the objects of observation were no longer limited to the square inch of St. John's time, which in turn expanded to everyone in life.
Gradually, Lu Ruping discovered that her father might actually be a very lonely old man, because he would always stay alone in the study, staring at the old photos and the sunset outside the window in a daze.
She also discovered that her mother may never have been as simple as she once thought.Even though due to physical reasons, she has never stepped out of the Lu family's gate, but just in this small western-style building, her mother controls the life and operation of the entire Lu family. Even from the daily chats, Lu Ruping gradually realized that , what she needs to learn from her mother may be far more than what she has discovered now.
As for Er Hao, she has been unable to see through him since more than half a year ago.
Although Erhao hasn't changed much, but from the occasional calm and powerful expression, as well as the deep eyes like a deep pool, one can feel that he is no longer the flirtatious playboy she remembered. , but like a cheetah ready to go, one day it will become a blockbuster.
And Mengping, the little sister who she always felt was a bit wayward, grew up at an astonishing speed in the past few months after her mother fell ill.
It was as if she had been dormant for a long time and finally waited for the spring flowers to come. I don't know when it started. Mengping, who was originally hot-tempered and always caused headaches about her parenting, seemed to have grown up overnight.
Such a temperament of daring to love and hate, and that kind of temperament that becomes more and more restrained as time goes by, made Lu Ruping amazed, but also gradually felt a little bit envious.
Even Erjie, the youngest brother in the family, has gradually become like a little man.
Lu Ruping couldn't remember how long Erjie and Mengping hadn't fought each other.
Most of the time, Erjie would follow behind Erhao and straighten his waist, or happily wave his arms under the basketball hoop erected outside.
Everyone is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But she always seems to be so meek.
If it weren't for Meng Ping's blow-out meal that day, she might have continued to be so confused.
It is actually a very difficult and embarrassing thing to face up to one's own heart, especially since she was a child, she has been praised by everyone as Xie Yuhua.
But after getting in touch with more and more people and seeing the complexity of human nature, when faced with Mengping's angry expression and her mother's occasional worried expression, Lu Ruping had to let herself face up to those things she had never seen for a long time. From the beginning, she consciously ignored the problem.
In fact, when facing Yiping, she always felt a little tired.
like just now.
She didn't know why Yiping came here today. She knew that Yiping's birthday was ten days ago, but she didn't know how to send her blessings.
If she went to Aunt Pei and Yiping to celebrate her birthday ten days ago, would Yiping be happy to see her?Would she feel that he was mocking and pitying her?
Just like when she was cutting the cake for Yiping just now, when facing Mengping and all other friends, she could naturally recommend Guanshengyuan cakes to them, but before she told Yiping, she Always have to think twice, whether it will hurt Yiping's self-esteem after saying it.
Every word she said to Yiping made her spend more thinking time than when facing others, because she knew that Yiping's character was too sensitive and too proud.
Every word she said may be misinterpreted by the other party as saying something.
After all, this kind of thing has happened frequently in Yiping.
Even when Yiping saw the clothes on her body, the table full of gifts, and the MFCs piled up on the dining table, Lu Ruping could clearly see the subtle expressions on her face.
What mother and Mengping said was right, no matter what, Yiping might not like her, as long as she was Wang Xueqin's daughter, as long as she had a better life than Yiping.
Finally facing this point squarely, Lu Ruping let out a breath gradually, and stopped looking at Yiping who was talking to her father over there.
After the long-standing obsession in her heart finally dissipated, Lu Ruping felt that maybe she could gradually become like Mengping and live a more unrestrained life.
The above thoughts, but in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Lu Ruping cheered up again, and continued to entertain the guests who seemed a little cold because of Yiping's arrival.
And He Shuhuan, who was completely ignored, looked at the interaction between Lu Ruping and Lu Mengping in embarrassment. After the words that rushed to his mouth were swallowed by the other party's ignorance, he tried his best to ignore the displeasure in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help it. He started searching in the hall again, and soon found Lu Yiping who was talking to Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin.
Regarding Lu Yiping's arrival, although I felt a little strange in my heart, after all, it was my daughter who hadn't seen her for nearly two months, and with so many guests today, Mr. Lu didn't like to put on a face, so when Lu Yiping stood in front of him, it was rare for Mr. Lu to He spoke to her calmly for a while.
"Yiping, what are you here for today?"
Glancing at Wang Xueqin standing beside her father, Lu Yiping raised a smile on her lips, and tried to make her tone more submissive, "Dad, I'm here to collect living expenses today."
"Huh?" Old Master Lu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
In the past every month, Yiping would come to withdraw money at the beginning of the month, but today is the middle of the month, how could she come at this time.
Thinking that he didn't seem to see Yiping in the past two months, Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wang Xueqin standing beside him expressionlessly.
Seeing Mr. Lu's gaze, Wang Xueqin frowned. Did Mr. Lu really think that she would have trouble with a little girl?
Slowly stroking the shawl on her shoulders, Wang Xueqin smiled and said in a low voice: "When Yiping came over last time, she had already given her 20 yuan. Later, because of her schooling problems, Ruping gave them another 100 yuan. Yuan passed. Last month and the beginning of this month, Yiping didn't come over, and I didn't know if they had run out of money, so I asked Er Hao to send the money a few times, but it was a coincidence that Er Hao went several times , there is no one there, so the money for these two months has not been sent out yet."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin thought for a while, and added, "The few times Er Hao went there, Lao Zhang drove him."
The implication is, if you don't believe me, old man, you can call Lao Zhang over and ask Er Hao if he has been to Fu Wenpei's place.
Wang Xueqin has always been a defensive personality.
She didn't know if Lu Yiping came here today to make things difficult for Ruping.But the banquet that their mothers had worked so hard to prepare, was suddenly thrust into such a horizontal position by Yiping, and she kept looking like a late mother, no one would feel comfortable changing it.
If Lu Yiping didn't know that today was Ruping's birthday, Wang Xueqin didn't believe a word.
And he didn't come to withdraw money for two months, but he chose to come here today, which really made Wang Xueqin believe that Lu Yiping didn't do it on purpose.
Fortunately, Ru Ping and Meng Ping fought hard and didn't stick their hot faces to Yi Ping's cold butt, otherwise she would die of anger.
Moreover, I don't know if Wang Xueqin was thinking too much, but she always felt that Yiping's words about living expenses sounded like eye drops for her.
No matter what Lu Yiping thought in her heart, Wang Xueqin never thought of treating her harshly anyway, and it was absolutely true that Er Hao had sent money, so Wang Xueqin said those words with confidence.
After listening to Wang Xueqin's words, Mr. Lu frowned, "Have you all spent the more than 100 yuan?"
Lu Yiping bit her lip and gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing that Mr. Lu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he was about to get angry, Wang Xueqin hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Already, let someone bring it to Yiping."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin waved to Mengping, and soon, Lu Mengping came over with a smile.
After asking Mengping to go up and take out the money in the drawer, Wang Xueqin didn't want to talk to Lu Yiping, and while listening to old man Lu chatting with Lu Yiping, he glanced at the crowd.
After such a scan, she saw something that interested her a little bit—her son, who was never easy to get along with, was standing with the school doctor named Ye Lin at this moment, and they seemed to be having a good conversation .
Although my son's personality is far from the original Lu Erhao's, so it is necessary to smile like the original owner, but Wang Xueqin can naturally distinguish which expressions he made on purpose and which are his real expressions.
At this moment, Wang Xueqin became a little interested when he realized that his son was listening to the other party with a serious expression while wearing a face that was almost as expressionless as Ye Lin's.
But speaking of it, Ye Lin's temperament is somewhat similar to his own son's most authentic appearance.
It was rare to see her son have the desire to actively communicate with others, and Wang Xueqin was a little excited for a while.
Soon, Lu Mengping withdrew the 40 yuan Wang Xueqin had saved for two months.
Wang Xueqin handed the money to Lu Yiping, but said nothing.
On the contrary, it was Mr. Lu who asked Yiping to be lively with everyone here, so don't leave in a hurry.
So after getting the money, Lu Yiping went to the place where the young people gathered on Ruping's side.
Because there were many visitors, Lu Ruping was dragged away after greeting Yiping.
Lu Yiping looked at the lively and huge banquet hall boredly, and soon walked to the table where Ruping's gifts were piled up.
There are a lot of gifts here, so full that they almost fall to the ground.
Especially a parchment bag that has been opened, and the photos inside seem to spill out if touched lightly.
Since Lu Yiping saw it, she naturally reached out to help her.
"So you are Lu Yiping!" At this moment, a young man wearing round glasses suddenly jumped out from Lu Yiping's side.
Lu Yiping was startled, and accidentally bumped into the table, and a few gifts on the side fell down.
Du Fei yelled "No", hurriedly picked up the gifts on the ground, and introduced himself to Lu Yiping while picking them up, "I'm not a bad person, don't think too much, I'm a book Huan's colleague and roommate, my name is Du Fei."
Seeing the nervousness of the other party, Lu Yiping smiled, feeling better, "I know you, Shuhuan told me about it."
"Is that so? Shuhuan actually mentioned me, saying that I am deeply impressed by your name, and I have already heard it like thunder, but it is a pity that Shuhuan has kept you too deep, and I didn't let me see it until today! After finishing speaking, Du Fei curled his lips.
Lu Yiping was amused by his words, and looked around in the crowd, but found no trace of He Shuhuan.
Du Fei saw what she was thinking, and laughed a few times, "Shuhuan went to the toilet just now, and he will come out in a while."
Lu Yiping turned her head and said nonchalantly, "I didn't look for him."
Du Fei scratched his head, and didn't know for a while whether what she said was true or not, "I really can't understand what you girls are thinking. Just like when Shuhuan gave Ruping a gift, how Ping Mingming said she likes it very much, but she doesn't know why she refuses to wear it."
Du Fei's words made Lu Yiping frowned, "Did Shuhuan give Ruping a gift?"
Only then did Du Fei feel that he seemed to have said something wrong, but, "Today is Ruping's birthday, why don't we come empty-handed?"
After speaking, he secretly pushed the gift he picked up just now into the table, not wanting Lu Yiping to notice.
However, Lu Yiping suddenly turned her attention to those gifts, "What did Shuhuan give Ruping?"
Du Fei faltered and refused to speak, Lu Yiping raised her leg and was about to walk towards Ruping, "Since you refuse to speak, then I'll ask Ruping."
Du Fei hurriedly stopped Lu Yiping, his heart was about to burst into tears, so he turned around, blocked everyone's eyes with his body, and handed the gift box from He Shuhuan to Lu Yiping, "Yes...it's this..."
Lu Yiping took the gift box. The exquisite gift box looks very high-end, and the things inside are probably even more valuable.
Thinking so in her heart, Lu Yiping slowly opened the delicate gift box, a slender and delicate silver bracelet, lying quietly in the velvet gift box.
"Crack!" Closing the box in her hand abruptly, Lu Yiping threw the box into the depths of the pile of presents in embarrassment. The expression on her face made Du Fei tremble uncontrollably.
Du Fei, who knew he was in trouble, didn't know why Lu Yiping was so angry, but he still wanted to coax Lu Yiping quickly before He Shuhuan came back, otherwise it would be bad if Shuhuan saw that Lu Yiping was angry because of him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the eye-catching parchment bag on the table. Du Fei heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stuffed the paper bag into Lu Yiping's hand like offering a treasure, "Actually, the gifts that Shuhuan and I gave were based on our own ability. Look, this It's a gift from me to Ruping, because I don't have any money, so I had to send a photo. Look, this is what I gave to Ruping, and it's pretty..."
Du Fei felt that he was almost incoherent!
By the way, the girl Shuhuan fell in love with, Jane
Because the banquet was more than halfway through, so someone came here suddenly, which surprised everyone present, so for a while, everyone in the hall focused on Lu Yiping who was standing at the door.
Being watched by so many people at the same time, Lu Yiping did not show any timidity.
To be exact, she knew that today was Ruping's birthday before she came here, and according to Aunt Xue's temperament, when she arrived, maybe the Lu family might be celebrating Ruping's birthday.
Therefore, before entering the door, Lu Yiping was not too surprised when she heard the happy voice coming from the door.
However, when she saw Lu Ruping, who was surrounded by everyone, shining like stars holding the moon, the jealousy that quickly grew from the deepest part of her heart still made Lu Yiping's heart tighten a few times in an instant.
But soon, she came back to her senses.
She never forgot that she was never a welcome guest in this Lu family.
"Dad, Aunt Xue, I'm here." Lu Yiping forced an unnatural smile on Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin, trying to calmly say.
Most of the guests who came to the birthday party today are Ruping's friends or sisters who are close friends with Wang Xueqin, and these people only made friends after the Lu family moved to Shanghai, so they know the intricate relationship of the Lu family. There are not many people.
And Yiping's mother and daughter moved out of the Lu family not long after arriving in Shanghai four years ago, so there are only a few people who know that Lu Yiping is a child of the Lu family.
The music on the gramophone never stopped, so although the conversations in the living room stagnated for a moment after Lu Yiping entered the door, everyone chatted in twos and threes soon, but their attention was always focused on the front door. Standing in embarrassment on the girl called "Miss Yiping" by the servants of the Lu family.
The girls in the Lu family all have the character Ping in their names, like Lu Ruping, Lu Mengping.
So what is the relationship between this girl named "Yiping" and the Lu family?
For a moment, the gossip desire in everyone's heart was aroused a little bit higher.
"Yiping, you came here today, come in quickly, we just cut the cake, can I cut a piece for you?" Seeing that Lu Yiping was standing at the door, Lu Ruping hurried to the door and took her hand walk down the hall.
Seeing Yiping, she was really happy.
Lu Yiping didn't break free from her hand, and nodded to Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin. After receiving Mr. Lu's response, Lu Yiping followed Ruping into the hall.
As she walked, she looked at the people in the living room.
These people, the men are all in suits and leather shoes, the women are all surrounded by jewels and emeralds, and Ruping, who is holding her hand, is obviously the protagonist of today, a pink cheongsam and hair accessories set her off like a peach blossom slowly blooming in the spring breeze .
And she herself... subconsciously looked down at the sauce-colored cheongsam on her body, which was cut from coarse cloth without any pattern at all. Lu Yiping gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt her face was hot.
She felt that she was totally out of place here, and those people seemed to be looking at her with curiosity and contempt.
With a slight force on the wrist, she broke away from the wrist held by Ruping.When Lu Ruping looked at her with some surprise, Lu Yiping turned her gaze away.
In the next second, her footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the man who was also looking at her with a smile at this moment, Lu Yiping couldn't recover for a while.
He Shuhuan...?
He is here too!
After a brief surprise, Lu Yiping quickly came back to her senses, and there was a trace of bitterness in her heart that even she felt inexplicable.
That's right, in fact, when she met He Shuhuan for the second time, she already knew that he and Lu Ruping were friends, didn't she?He would notice himself, perhaps because of her similar name to Lu Ruping and Lu Mengping.
Lu Yiping has long known that today is Lu Ruping's birthday, after all their birthdays are only ten days apart.
She knew that she and Lu Ruping were completely different in her father's eyes. Although they were both father's daughters and were born in the same month of the same year, it could be seen from their birthdays every year that for these two daughters, what was father's choice? I care more about who to favor more.
Dad doesn't even remember her birthday!
But ten days after she and her mother spent her birthday alone, she held such a grand birthday party for Ruping.
This is not the first time.
In previous years, she could act as if she didn't know anything, or she could say that she didn't care at all and disdain such sensational birthday parties.
But this year is different.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiping's eyes fell on He Shuhuan.
She likes He Shuhuan, and He Shuhuan probably likes her too.
Ten days ago, when He Shuhuan suddenly appeared at her door on her birthday, and helped her celebrate her birthday with her mother and Lieutenant Li, and gave her a birthday present, Lu Yiping has never been like that for a moment. So I'm sure, He Shuhuan likes her.
But that day, until He Shuhuan left, he still didn't say the words she had been waiting for.
So today, when she thought that today was Lu Ruping's birthday, and that He Shuhuan was Lu Ruping's friend, she lied to her mother and came to Lu's house desperately under the pretext of coming to get living expenses.
And He Shuhuan was indeed here.
Although her gaze was still greedily lingering on He Shuhuan's face, Lu Yiping's heart sank gradually.
Because for a moment, she was suddenly not sure if He Shuhuan really liked her.
If He Shuhuan really liked her, why wouldn't he draw a line with the Lu family?
He Shuhuan clearly knew how much she hated everything about the Lu family.
Just when everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, they saw that He Shuhuan, who had been staring at the girl named "Miss Yiping" since she entered the door, walked quickly in three steps. Lu Yiping stepped forward, and said in a voice that was so gentle that it was almost dripping water: "Yiping, I didn't expect you to come here."
Lu Yiping, who came back to her senses, saw that He Shuhuan completely disregarded other people's eyes, just stood in front of her so openly, and looked at her with such affectionate eyes, her heart was relieved for a moment, she didn't even think about it, just use her When getting along with He Shuhuan, he always replied in a slightly stinging tone: "Since you are here, why can't I be here?"
He Shuhuan smiled kindly, apparently not caring about Lu Yiping's bad temper, and said something to Lu Yiping in a low voice.
These two people were actually right in the middle of the Lu family's hall, exchanging greetings like no one else was there.
When Lu Yiping broke away from Lu Ruping's hand, Lu Ruping noticed that Lu Yiping's mood seemed not very good.
Just when he was about to ask Yiping what was wrong, he saw He Shuhuan running up to Yiping affectionately. The two looked at each other, which almost made everyone present goosebumps.
Subconsciously stroking her arm, Lu Mengping moved closer to Lu Ruping, and whispered in a strange voice: "Why is Yiping here? Did you invite her?"
Lu Ruping was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and replied in a low voice: "No, I was scolded by Yiping when I went to send money to Aunt Pei, and I haven't seen Yiping since then, after all, I don't want to You can't find happiness for yourself."
Lu Mengping curled her lips, "It's fine if you didn't invite her. Usually when she comes over, she always looks like we owe her tens of thousands of dollars. I don't know what she's here for today. I've been with He Shuhuan since I entered the door. Kiss me in public, do you want the guests to see our Lu family's jokes?"
Although Lu Mengping said this bluntly, it was not an exaggeration, because Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan were standing too close at this time, so that those guests who had been paying attention to her since she entered the door, now looked at Lu Yiping, The gazes of He Shuhuan and Lu Ruping gradually became ambiguous——
Obviously, I just heard someone say that when I saw the photo of Lu Ruping being embraced by He Shuhuan, why did it take so long to see this boy named He Shuhuan meeting that girl named "Yiping" again?
Although Lu Ruping didn't know what everyone was thinking, it was obviously not the case to let Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan be affectionate in the middle of the hall.
So after hearing Mengping's complaint, Lu Ruping also quickly came to Lu Yiping and He Shuhuan, and said with a smile: "Yiping, Shuhuan, stop standing here in a daze. Today is my birthday, Yiping and He Shuhuan I'll eat cake."
After finishing speaking, regardless of He Shuhuan's reaction, he pulled Lu Yiping and walked inside.
Lu Yiping subconsciously wanted to break free, but felt that the strength on her wrist was a little tighter.
Looking at Lu Ruping with displeasure, Ruping slightly raised her eyebrows and asked her with a low smile, "Yiping, are you still angry with me?"
Lu Yiping was startled, "Why should I be angry with you?"
Seeing that she really didn't react, Lu Ruping couldn't help but raise the curvature of her lips, and said softly: "I thought you were still angry because of what I said to Aunt Pei last time, it seems that I If you think too much, it’s good that you’re not angry. I thought you were angry just now, so I stood in the middle of the hall and refused to come in.”
After Lu Ruping said this, Lu Yiping realized that other people in the living room looked at her strangely.
It suddenly occurred to her mind that just now she had stared at He Shuhuan for so long in full view, Lu Yiping's face turned red, and her heart was filled with sweetness and annoyance at the same time.
Seeing that Lu Ruping finally brought her in, Liu Rongrong hurried over and asked, "Ruping, who is this lady?"
Hearing her question, everyone immediately perked up their ears.
Lu Ruping didn't hide it, and introduced Lu Yiping to everyone with a smile, "This is Lu Yiping, my sister."
More, but no more revealed.
Almost all the people sitting here are experts in observing words and emotions, their status and the environment in which they grew up made them chew on Lu Ruping's words in their hearts.
In their cognition, the Lu family only had four children, but Lu Ruping said that Lu Yiping was her older sister.
From what Lu Yiping called the mistress of the Lu family "Aunt Xue" just now, it can be seen that she is obviously not Wang Xueqin's child.
As for what old man Lu did in the past, these people who had good relations with the Lu family naturally knew more or less. After all, in the era of warlord separatism, the reputation of "Black Leopard" was also well-known in the Northeast.
So for a while, everyone looked at Lu Yiping with some deep meaning.
Naturally, Lu Yiping, Lu Ruping and the others were not aware of this.
Although Lu Ruping was very surprised, why did Yiping come here today.You must know that although her and Yiping's birthdays are only ten days apart, in the past few years, Yiping has never been here on her birthday.
Thinking of this, Lu Ruping asked, "Yiping, why did you come here today?"
While speaking, he handed the cut cake to Lu Yiping.
"Why, don't you welcome me?" She dug a small piece of cake with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth. The rich and silky taste of cream spread in her mouth. Feeling jealous, ask back.
Lu Ruping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "Why, I said just now, I'm very happy that you can come."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Lu Yiping seemed to like the cake in her hand very much, Lu Ruping narrowed her eyes with a smile, "This is the cake that Er Hao just brought back this morning. It is from Guansheng Garden. We all like it very much. If it wasn't for my birthday today, I wouldn't be here in a year. I can't eat it a few times."
Guanshengyuan...
Lowering her eyes, Lu Yiping suddenly felt that the original fragrance in her mouth gradually became tasteless.
Just such a piece of cake, maybe it will soon catch up with the living expenses of her and her mother for half a month, right?
Although she knew that Ruping was different from her, at this moment, Lu Yiping still felt strongly unwilling.
Putting down the cake that she had only eaten two bites of, Lu Yiping suddenly felt that it might be a mistake for her to come here today.
Seeing Lu Yiping put down the cake, her face was a little gloomy, and Lu Ruping didn't know what was wrong with her for a while, "Yiping...don't you like this cake?"
Lu Yiping wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Lu Ruping with a non-smiling smile, "Thank you for the cake, and I wish you a happy birthday. Actually, I came here today to collect living expenses. I didn't expect to interrupt your birthday."
"This is your home too, don't bother me if there is nothing to disturb." Lu Ruping said with a smile.
Lu Yiping took a deep look at her, finally nodded to her, and then turned to Mr. Lu.
He Shuhuan, who was behind her, was about to say something to her, but found that Lu Yiping didn't even look at him, as if he was air, and walked straight in the direction of Mr. Lu.
Everyone saw Lu Yiping's attitude just now, and He Shuhuan, who had been following her all the time, naturally saw it clearly.
Although I don't know why Yiping's attitude is so strange, it is an indisputable fact that her arrival made the originally warm atmosphere cool down, so after Yiping left here, He Shuhuan immediately said to Lu Ruping with some embarrassment: "Ruping , Sorry, Yiping seems to be in a bad mood today."
Lu Ruping showed a faint smile, apparently not caring.
Lu Mengping looked at He Shuhuan with a funny face, "Strange, no matter what Yiping said, she is also from our Lu family. Why did He Shuhuan apologize to Ruping for her?"
As for whether Lu Yiping is in a good mood, what does it have to do with them?
It was supposed to be a good birthday party, but it was fine for Lu Yiping to come uninvited, but after she came, she still looked like she was dragging [-] to [-] yuan!
If it weren't for Ruping's birthday today, and there are so many guests, Lu Mengping would have lost her temper!
Although today is the second time I have come into contact with Lu Mengping, He Shuhuan has already seen the sharp mouth of this young lady of the Lu family, and he doesn't know why. From the first time Lu Mengping saw him, it seemed that Having a prejudice against him made He Shuhuan, who was used to going smoothly since he was a child, couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
However, fortunately, Ruping's temperament has always been so gentle, presumably Ruping would not care about Yiping's faux pas just now.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Lu Ruping, but saw that Lu Ruping didn't look at her at all. Instead, he turned his gaze to Lu Mengping, who was beside him with an angry face, and smiled and comforted her.
Lu Mengping, who was originally wrinkled, quickly laughed out, and looked at Lu Ruping complainingly, but then obviously ignored Lu Yiping's affairs.
In fact, Lu Ruping was in Lu Mengping's ear, but simply teased, "Mengping, pay attention to your ladylike image".
The first time Lu Mengping heard Lu Ruping's words, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately afterwards, she thought that she was clearly standing out for Ruping, but why she was always called not a lady by her mother and Ruping because of this. For a while, Lu Mengping complained a little, "I'm not for you!"
Smiling and pinching Lu Mengping's face, Lu Ruping comforted in a low voice, "Okay, I know you are doing it for my own good. Mengping has always liked me and protected me very much. I am very happy."
It was the first time to hear such words from Ruping so straightforwardly, Lu Mengping's smiling face turned red instantly, and stammered: "Who, who likes you!"
For Lu Mengping's duplicity, Lu Ruping didn't know much about it, so she just smiled kindly, "Yes, yes, I was wrong, Mengping actually doesn't like me at all."
After finishing speaking, Lu Mengping was visibly annoyed again. She wanted to deny it, but felt a little ashamed. For a moment, Lu Ruping couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Mengping rolled her eyes at her angrily, and she finally understood that Ruping is just a gun-wielding mouse in a nest, and he will use his strength against the few people in the family who have a good relationship with her.
After teasing Mengping for a while, and finally getting Mengping to divert her attention from Yiping, Lu Ruping called her friends to eat again.
Rourou's eyes inadvertently fell on Yiping who was talking to her parents. Although Lu Ruping felt a little sour in her heart, she was more relieved.
My mother said to her before, Ruping, you have to remember that no matter how much you like Yiping, you and her are not the same mother after all.
What you get in exchange for your heart and soul may often not be a kind return.
Lu Ruping remembered that when her mother was chatting with her, she would occasionally laugh and tease her, saying, Ruping, you have a very good temper, but because you are so good, it is easy to do bad things with good intentions.
Mom said, you care too much about what other people think.
No one can please everyone.
Lu Ruping used to naively think that as long as she treats others well, they will treat her well, like her, and repay her with equal affection.
But even Mengping said to her seriously: "In this world, besides mom and dad, me, Erhao, and Erjie, who else would treat you well without asking for anything in return? Don't be naive anymore." .”
Lu Ruping will always remember that time, when she had a dispute with Mengping because of Yiping's problem, Mengping, who has always been hot-tempered, scolded her unceremoniously.
At that time, Mengping said, Ruping, can you stop being so close to Yiping?You always say that Yiping and Aunt Pei are pitiful, don't we?Everything we have is earned by our mother. What qualifications do we have to sympathize with others?
You always like to be a good person and always say that we are too harsh on Yiping, but when Yiping cursed me and my mother, where were you?Who has been taking care of us for so many years, who has given us everything we need to grow up?Does all this have anything to do with Lu Yiping?Could it be that for her liking, everything that mother and we do is just air in your eyes?
Can you stop being so hypocritical? !
Yes, hypocrisy, and vanity.
Mengping, who has always been a little sister in her eyes, made Lu Ruping almost invisible with her sharp words at that moment.
She really likes the feeling of being liked by people, so she always wants to be more considerate and share more with others, because in this way, everyone will like her more.
She knew that Yiping didn't like her, but she wanted Yiping to like her, so she ignored her mother and Mengping's censure time and time again, and always found various reasons for Yiping.
But Mengping's words prevented her from continuing to pretend.
Er Hao said that after entering university, it is time to truly mature. Use your eyes and your heart to see the world, and everything is not as beautiful as you thought.
So after entering St. John's, what she did most every day was not to study, but to observe all kinds of people she met in St. John's while studying. Later, the objects of observation were no longer limited to the square inch of St. John's time, which in turn expanded to everyone in life.
Gradually, Lu Ruping discovered that her father might actually be a very lonely old man, because he would always stay alone in the study, staring at the old photos and the sunset outside the window in a daze.
She also discovered that her mother may never have been as simple as she once thought.Even though due to physical reasons, she has never stepped out of the Lu family's gate, but just in this small western-style building, her mother controls the life and operation of the entire Lu family. Even from the daily chats, Lu Ruping gradually realized that , what she needs to learn from her mother may be far more than what she has discovered now.
As for Er Hao, she has been unable to see through him since more than half a year ago.
Although Erhao hasn't changed much, but from the occasional calm and powerful expression, as well as the deep eyes like a deep pool, one can feel that he is no longer the flirtatious playboy she remembered. , but like a cheetah ready to go, one day it will become a blockbuster.
And Mengping, the little sister who she always felt was a bit wayward, grew up at an astonishing speed in the past few months after her mother fell ill.
It was as if she had been dormant for a long time and finally waited for the spring flowers to come. I don't know when it started. Mengping, who was originally hot-tempered and always caused headaches about her parenting, seemed to have grown up overnight.
Such a temperament of daring to love and hate, and that kind of temperament that becomes more and more restrained as time goes by, made Lu Ruping amazed, but also gradually felt a little bit envious.
Even Erjie, the youngest brother in the family, has gradually become like a little man.
Lu Ruping couldn't remember how long Erjie and Mengping hadn't fought each other.
Most of the time, Erjie would follow behind Erhao and straighten his waist, or happily wave his arms under the basketball hoop erected outside.
Everyone is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But she always seems to be so meek.
If it weren't for Meng Ping's blow-out meal that day, she might have continued to be so confused.
It is actually a very difficult and embarrassing thing to face up to one's own heart, especially since she was a child, she has been praised by everyone as Xie Yuhua.
But after getting in touch with more and more people and seeing the complexity of human nature, when faced with Mengping's angry expression and her mother's occasional worried expression, Lu Ruping had to let herself face up to those things she had never seen for a long time. From the beginning, she consciously ignored the problem.
In fact, when facing Yiping, she always felt a little tired.
like just now.
She didn't know why Yiping came here today. She knew that Yiping's birthday was ten days ago, but she didn't know how to send her blessings.
If she went to Aunt Pei and Yiping to celebrate her birthday ten days ago, would Yiping be happy to see her?Would she feel that he was mocking and pitying her?
Just like when she was cutting the cake for Yiping just now, when facing Mengping and all other friends, she could naturally recommend Guanshengyuan cakes to them, but before she told Yiping, she Always have to think twice, whether it will hurt Yiping's self-esteem after saying it.
Every word she said to Yiping made her spend more thinking time than when facing others, because she knew that Yiping's character was too sensitive and too proud.
Every word she said may be misinterpreted by the other party as saying something.
After all, this kind of thing has happened frequently in Yiping.
Even when Yiping saw the clothes on her body, the table full of gifts, and the MFCs piled up on the dining table, Lu Ruping could clearly see the subtle expressions on her face.
What mother and Mengping said was right, no matter what, Yiping might not like her, as long as she was Wang Xueqin's daughter, as long as she had a better life than Yiping.
Finally facing this point squarely, Lu Ruping let out a breath gradually, and stopped looking at Yiping who was talking to her father over there.
After the long-standing obsession in her heart finally dissipated, Lu Ruping felt that maybe she could gradually become like Mengping and live a more unrestrained life.
The above thoughts, but in the blink of an eye.
Soon, Lu Ruping cheered up again, and continued to entertain the guests who seemed a little cold because of Yiping's arrival.
And He Shuhuan, who was completely ignored, looked at the interaction between Lu Ruping and Lu Mengping in embarrassment. After the words that rushed to his mouth were swallowed by the other party's ignorance, he tried his best to ignore the displeasure in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help it. He started searching in the hall again, and soon found Lu Yiping who was talking to Mr. Lu and Wang Xueqin.
Regarding Lu Yiping's arrival, although I felt a little strange in my heart, after all, it was my daughter who hadn't seen her for nearly two months, and with so many guests today, Mr. Lu didn't like to put on a face, so when Lu Yiping stood in front of him, it was rare for Mr. Lu to He spoke to her calmly for a while.
"Yiping, what are you here for today?"
Glancing at Wang Xueqin standing beside her father, Lu Yiping raised a smile on her lips, and tried to make her tone more submissive, "Dad, I'm here to collect living expenses today."
"Huh?" Old Master Lu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
In the past every month, Yiping would come to withdraw money at the beginning of the month, but today is the middle of the month, how could she come at this time.
Thinking that he didn't seem to see Yiping in the past two months, Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wang Xueqin standing beside him expressionlessly.
Seeing Mr. Lu's gaze, Wang Xueqin frowned. Did Mr. Lu really think that she would have trouble with a little girl?
Slowly stroking the shawl on her shoulders, Wang Xueqin smiled and said in a low voice: "When Yiping came over last time, she had already given her 20 yuan. Later, because of her schooling problems, Ruping gave them another 100 yuan. Yuan passed. Last month and the beginning of this month, Yiping didn't come over, and I didn't know if they had run out of money, so I asked Er Hao to send the money a few times, but it was a coincidence that Er Hao went several times , there is no one there, so the money for these two months has not been sent out yet."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin thought for a while, and added, "The few times Er Hao went there, Lao Zhang drove him."
The implication is, if you don't believe me, old man, you can call Lao Zhang over and ask Er Hao if he has been to Fu Wenpei's place.
Wang Xueqin has always been a defensive personality.
She didn't know if Lu Yiping came here today to make things difficult for Ruping.But the banquet that their mothers had worked so hard to prepare, was suddenly thrust into such a horizontal position by Yiping, and she kept looking like a late mother, no one would feel comfortable changing it.
If Lu Yiping didn't know that today was Ruping's birthday, Wang Xueqin didn't believe a word.
And he didn't come to withdraw money for two months, but he chose to come here today, which really made Wang Xueqin believe that Lu Yiping didn't do it on purpose.
Fortunately, Ru Ping and Meng Ping fought hard and didn't stick their hot faces to Yi Ping's cold butt, otherwise she would die of anger.
Moreover, I don't know if Wang Xueqin was thinking too much, but she always felt that Yiping's words about living expenses sounded like eye drops for her.
No matter what Lu Yiping thought in her heart, Wang Xueqin never thought of treating her harshly anyway, and it was absolutely true that Er Hao had sent money, so Wang Xueqin said those words with confidence.
After listening to Wang Xueqin's words, Mr. Lu frowned, "Have you all spent the more than 100 yuan?"
Lu Yiping bit her lip and gave a soft "hmm".
Seeing that Mr. Lu's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he was about to get angry, Wang Xueqin hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Already, let someone bring it to Yiping."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin waved to Mengping, and soon, Lu Mengping came over with a smile.
After asking Mengping to go up and take out the money in the drawer, Wang Xueqin didn't want to talk to Lu Yiping, and while listening to old man Lu chatting with Lu Yiping, he glanced at the crowd.
After such a scan, she saw something that interested her a little bit—her son, who was never easy to get along with, was standing with the school doctor named Ye Lin at this moment, and they seemed to be having a good conversation .
Although my son's personality is far from the original Lu Erhao's, so it is necessary to smile like the original owner, but Wang Xueqin can naturally distinguish which expressions he made on purpose and which are his real expressions.
At this moment, Wang Xueqin became a little interested when he realized that his son was listening to the other party with a serious expression while wearing a face that was almost as expressionless as Ye Lin's.
But speaking of it, Ye Lin's temperament is somewhat similar to his own son's most authentic appearance.
It was rare to see her son have the desire to actively communicate with others, and Wang Xueqin was a little excited for a while.
Soon, Lu Mengping withdrew the 40 yuan Wang Xueqin had saved for two months.
Wang Xueqin handed the money to Lu Yiping, but said nothing.
On the contrary, it was Mr. Lu who asked Yiping to be lively with everyone here, so don't leave in a hurry.
So after getting the money, Lu Yiping went to the place where the young people gathered on Ruping's side.
Because there were many visitors, Lu Ruping was dragged away after greeting Yiping.
Lu Yiping looked at the lively and huge banquet hall boredly, and soon walked to the table where Ruping's gifts were piled up.
There are a lot of gifts here, so full that they almost fall to the ground.
Especially a parchment bag that has been opened, and the photos inside seem to spill out if touched lightly.
Since Lu Yiping saw it, she naturally reached out to help her.
"So you are Lu Yiping!" At this moment, a young man wearing round glasses suddenly jumped out from Lu Yiping's side.
Lu Yiping was startled, and accidentally bumped into the table, and a few gifts on the side fell down.
Du Fei yelled "No", hurriedly picked up the gifts on the ground, and introduced himself to Lu Yiping while picking them up, "I'm not a bad person, don't think too much, I'm a book Huan's colleague and roommate, my name is Du Fei."
Seeing the nervousness of the other party, Lu Yiping smiled, feeling better, "I know you, Shuhuan told me about it."
"Is that so? Shuhuan actually mentioned me, saying that I am deeply impressed by your name, and I have already heard it like thunder, but it is a pity that Shuhuan has kept you too deep, and I didn't let me see it until today! After finishing speaking, Du Fei curled his lips.
Lu Yiping was amused by his words, and looked around in the crowd, but found no trace of He Shuhuan.
Du Fei saw what she was thinking, and laughed a few times, "Shuhuan went to the toilet just now, and he will come out in a while."
Lu Yiping turned her head and said nonchalantly, "I didn't look for him."
Du Fei scratched his head, and didn't know for a while whether what she said was true or not, "I really can't understand what you girls are thinking. Just like when Shuhuan gave Ruping a gift, how Ping Mingming said she likes it very much, but she doesn't know why she refuses to wear it."
Du Fei's words made Lu Yiping frowned, "Did Shuhuan give Ruping a gift?"
Only then did Du Fei feel that he seemed to have said something wrong, but, "Today is Ruping's birthday, why don't we come empty-handed?"
After speaking, he secretly pushed the gift he picked up just now into the table, not wanting Lu Yiping to notice.
However, Lu Yiping suddenly turned her attention to those gifts, "What did Shuhuan give Ruping?"
Du Fei faltered and refused to speak, Lu Yiping raised her leg and was about to walk towards Ruping, "Since you refuse to speak, then I'll ask Ruping."
Du Fei hurriedly stopped Lu Yiping, his heart was about to burst into tears, so he turned around, blocked everyone's eyes with his body, and handed the gift box from He Shuhuan to Lu Yiping, "Yes...it's this..."
Lu Yiping took the gift box. The exquisite gift box looks very high-end, and the things inside are probably even more valuable.
Thinking so in her heart, Lu Yiping slowly opened the delicate gift box, a slender and delicate silver bracelet, lying quietly in the velvet gift box.
"Crack!" Closing the box in her hand abruptly, Lu Yiping threw the box into the depths of the pile of presents in embarrassment. The expression on her face made Du Fei tremble uncontrollably.
Du Fei, who knew he was in trouble, didn't know why Lu Yiping was so angry, but he still wanted to coax Lu Yiping quickly before He Shuhuan came back, otherwise it would be bad if Shuhuan saw that Lu Yiping was angry because of him.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the eye-catching parchment bag on the table. Du Fei heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stuffed the paper bag into Lu Yiping's hand like offering a treasure, "Actually, the gifts that Shuhuan and I gave were based on our own ability. Look, this It's a gift from me to Ruping, because I don't have any money, so I had to send a photo. Look, this is what I gave to Ruping, and it's pretty..."
Du Fei felt that he was almost incoherent!
By the way, the girl Shuhuan fell in love with, Jane
