Chapter 92: Just Support Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Lu saw that the moment Meng Chuyuan turned on the speaker, she even covered her ears and complained, “Why did you turn on the speaker? I don’t want to hear it.”
“Let’s listen to what he has to say.” Lu Qingye was calling his mother, so she probably had nothing to do with it.
However, Madam Lu was not willing to communicate with Lu Qingye now, so she threw him to her.
Meng Chuyuan could only blame herself for coming back at the wrong time and seeing this scene. However, she could not escape now even if she wanted to. She could only sit down calmly to resolve the conflict between them. Before Lu Qingye could speak, Madam Lu could not help but complain to Meng
Chuyuan. “This father and son left the company here to expand their overseas projects. Now, they even want me to join them in the company. How ridiculous.”
Lu Qingye: ‘
Meng Chuyuan said, “Mom, calm down first.”
After Meng Chuyuan calmed Madam Lu down, Lu Qingye slowly said on the other end of the phone, “Mom, I just want you to go over and take a look.
His request was neither too high nor too excessive. For some reason, when it came from his mother’s mouth, it had a different meaning.
She snorted disdainfully. “You make it sound nice. You must have something for me to do that’s why you’re trying to trick me over, right? I don’t know anything. I can’t help you.”
Madam Lu was the youngest daughter of the Lin family. She had three brothers and had been doted on by her family since she was young. She had never suffered or done heavy work.
The Lin family and the Lu family were well-matched. She and Lu Qingye’s father were in love with each other and got married as soon as they graduated from university. After they got married, she became a full-time housewife and stayed at home to support her husband and raise their children.
If she, who had no experience in social work, went to the company, she would not be able to do anything. She might even cause trouble for Lu Qingye and the others.
Lu Qingye patiently explained to her, “When they report their work, just listen. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask the secretary.”
“Your wife is here. Why didn’t you ask her to go?”
“…” Meng Chuyuan, who was suddenly mentioned, felt a little awkvvard.
Why did they have to mention her?
Lu Qingye was silent for two to three seconds before his cold voice sounded again. “She just finished filming the variety show. Can’t you let her rest for a while?”
He did not tell Meng Chuyuan about this immediately. Not only did he want her to rest well, but he also did not want to trouble her too much.
After all, she and Lu Jinsen would only be back for a few days before they had to set off to film the variety show again. When that time came, he would still need his mother’s help.
He just wanted to let his mother take on the job directly. It would be easier that way.
Madam Lu had no intention of restraining herself in front of Meng Chuyuan. She said to Lu Qingye in a disdainful tone, “You just forget your mother after you have a wife.”
Lu Qingye: ‘
The two of them were in a deadlock. In the end, they fell into an awkward situation.
Meng Chuyuan saw that the atmosphere was a little strange. She turned to look at Madam Lu and said gently, “Mom, why don’t I accompany you to the company tomorrow?”
Madam Lu was still unwilling to relent. “If you want to go, go yourself.”
Meng Chuyuan placed her phone on the table and poured a glass of water for Madam Lu. She said softly, “Then can you accompany me tomorrow? If anything happens, leave it to me. I’ll handle it for you, okay?”
Meng Chuyuan had never done business before. She was also a novice in this aspect, but she did not feel pressured.
In order for Madam Lu to agree, she was willing to accompany her.
When Madam Lu heard this, she suddenly frowned and hesitated.
Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan felt that there was a chance to persuade her, so she coaxed, “Mom, I’ve never been to the company either. Just treat it as you’re accompanying me on a tour and conveniently dealing with some company matters as well, okay? You don’t have to do anything. Just support me.”
Fortunately, it was night time on Lu Qingye’s end and it was already time for him to get off work. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the patience to make this call.
He and Meng Chuyuan were waiting for their mother to speak.
After a while, Madam Lu agreed calmly. “Alright, I’ll go with you tomorrow. Since I’m going to the company, I have to see what I’m going to wear tomorrow.”
With that, Madam Lu put down the cup in her hand and got up to return to the bedroom. She had completely forgotten that her phone was still on a call with Lu Qingye.
Meng Chuyuan watched as Madam Lu walked away. She lowered her eyes and stared at her phone. She silently picked it up and turned off the speaker.
“Lu Qingye, are you still there?”
He hummed softly and said in a magnetic voice, “Thank you for just now.”
Meng Chuyuan did not accept his thanks and went straight to the next topic.
“You should be free now, right? I want to discuss something with you.”
Lu Qingye said, “Go ahead.”
“I was sending your sister to school today and the road to school from home is indeed quite far. So I walked around the school just now and I realized that there are many houses in the school district. The environment is quite good. I want to rent a house there for your sister to live in. What do you think?”
No matter what, Lu Qianling was still his younger sister. Meng Chuyuan felt that she should discuss this matter with him and hear his opinion.
Lu Qingye was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the person she was discussing with him about was actually Lu Qianling.
But at the beginning, he had also considered the houses in the school district. Perhaps in his eyes, he felt that Lu Qianling was still young and it was not appropriate for her to live alone outside.
He thought for a moment and replied to Meng Chuyuan, “She can’t take care of herself.’
Meng Chuyuan said, “I see that there are many restaurants nearby. She can come out to eat whenever she’s hungry. If you’re still worried, you can hire a nanny or a part-time worker for her. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
“She doesn’t like to go to class yet.” Not only did Lu Qianling not know how to take care of herself, but she was also not self-disciplined enough. If she was out of their sight and control, who knew what kind of life she would lead outside alone.
Meng Chuyuan said confidently, “Don’t worry about that. She will go to class.”
“Did you persuade her to go to class these few days?” Lu Qingye suddenly felt a little confused. He did not understand what she meant.
When he was at home, Lu Qianling did not attend class well. Occasionally, she would play tricks under his nose. He was a little curious about how Meng
Chuyuan did it.
“How can you call it persuasion? She did it willingly.”
Lu Qingye: ‘
Although he did not know what method Meng Chuyuan used, Lu Qianling was indeed in school these few days and did not miss a single class.
“As long as she’s willing to go to class.” Since the method worked, Lu Qingye didn’t need to know the reason.
Meng Chuyuan was about to end the call with him when she suddenly remembered something. She then said to Lu Qingye, “Oh right, don’t worry about her pocket money. I’ll give it to her in the future.”
Lu Qingye frowned slightly. His deep eyes were filled with coldness as he asked in confusion, “Did she ask you for money?”
“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not what you think.” Meng Chuyuan told him tirelessly, “Since she’s willing to give me face, I naturally have to give her this pocket money..”
