Chapter 71

Ruan Qiqi glanced at the kitchen and said to Lu Ye in surprise: “Your stepmother was just frying a cake, why is it so noisy?”

“She was so angry that she poked a hole in the bottom of the pot!”

Lu Ye answered casually, not knowing that he had guessed it right.

Lu Desheng was too lazy to get angry with them. People’s habits are terrible. Now that he heard these rebellious words, he was able to remain calm.

And he felt that what Ruan Qiqi said did make sense.

Lu Ye’s two younger brothers grew up with him and Lin Manyun since they were young. They had never suffered and were very spoiled. As a man, he must not be afraid of hardship or fatigue. Those who are spoiled are sissy.

Lu Desheng’s thoughtful look fell into Lin Manyun’s eyes, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Having lived with him for more than 20 years, Lin Manyun knew this man too well. Lu Desheng must have been moved by that crazy girl.

“Old Lu, the baba is ready, eat it while it’s hot!”

Lin Manyun interrupted Lu Desheng’s thoughts and put a plate of slightly burnt fried baba on the table.

“Why is it burnt? Did your stepmother really punch a hole in the bottom of the pot?”

Ruan Qiqi yelled in a fuss.

“It’s very likely. After all, my stepmother doesn’t like me to be successful the most. It’s normal for her to punch a hole in the bottom of the pot when she’s angry!” Lu Ye said.

Lin Manyun’s eyebrows jumped, and she gritted her teeth to explain: “The fire is too big, and it will burn if you turn it over a little slower. Do you have enough dishes? Do you want me to fry some more?”

“Yes, but since you want to fry so much, fry a few more dishes. Lu Ye and I will definitely finish them.”

Ruan Qiqi was not polite at all. As long as Lin Manyun went to fry, she would finish it even if she was full.

“Go fry!”

Lu Desheng had spoken, and he couldn’t just deny him his rice.

Lin Manyun’s mouth tasted blood, but she didn’t dare to show it at all. She had to put on a smile and go to the kitchen to cook. Fortunately, there was still a pot at home.

Ruan Qiqi followed her to the kitchen quietly. Seeing Lin Manyun take out a new pot from the cabinet, she shouted: “It’s terrible, Lu Ye, your stepmother really chiseled a hole in the bottom of the pot. How angry must she be!”

“It’s a strange thing. She can even chisel through the bottom of the pot. The grass in the vegetable garden is taller than the vegetables. She has so much strength, why doesn’t she go to weed?”

Lu Ye didn’t even eat his meal. He ran to the kitchen to watch the fun. He and Ruan Qiqi each pulled up a door frame, and they were talking nonsense again.

Lu Desheng came over with a fierce face and saw Lin Manyun trying to hide the broken pot. Such a fresh gap made his head throb.

“Old Lu, this pot has been used for many years. It’s not strong anymore!”

Lin Manyun explained quickly.

“Be angry if you want to. Why blame the pot? It didn’t break down earlier or later, but it broke down when Lu Ye was promoted. What a coincidence!”

Ruan Qiqi curled her lips and said yin and yang openly. “It’s normal. My stepmother is narrow-minded. She gets angry when I get higher scores than her son in the exam. I’m used to it.”

Lu Ye was full of sarcasm. He didn’t even look at Lu Desheng and turned back to eat.

“It’s understandable. After all, she is a stepmother. She must want the best for her own son. You should think like this. Although you don’t have the love of your parents, you have the most promising future!”

Ruan Qiqi comforted and went to eat.

These words pierced Lu Desheng’s heart like needles, especially the exam that Lu Ye mentioned. He looked at Lin Manyun with suspicion.

In the past, he always thought that Lu Ye’s poor grades were because he didn’t work hard enough. He never thought that it was his wife’s trick. Is she really suppressing Xiaoye?

“Old Lu, I didn’t… This pot was really about to break. Xiao Ye is successful, I am happier than anyone, really!”

Lin Manyun cried with tears in her eyes and took out her usual tricks, but the tricks that always worked didn’t work today.

Lu Desheng still had doubts in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything else. He just glanced at the broken pot, looked at Lin Manyun deeply, and left the kitchen.

Lin Manyun stood in the kitchen in a daze, with a chill on her back. She knew that Lu Desheng was suspicious of her.

Lu Ye, this damn bastard, why didn’t he starve to death back then!

Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye ate all the dishes with relish. Lu Desheng didn’t even eat a few bites of the dishes. He was full of shit.

“Let’s go to your stepfather’s house to ask for a red envelope.”

Ruan Qiqi stood up decisively. Time was precious and there was no time to waste.

“What red envelope do you want?”

Lu Desheng had a very sharp ear when it came to Mo Qiufeng. He had been secretly competing with Mo Qiufeng, determined to win over this old fox so as to prove that Yuan Huilan’s choice was wrong.

It wasn’t that he still had feelings for Yuan Huilan, he just wasn’t convinced.

Because Yuan Huilan told him that Mo Qiufeng was hundreds of times better than him, and that she was blind to marry him. Fortunately, she turned back in time and married Mo Qiufeng.

These words pissed off Lu Desheng to death, and since then, he has regarded Mo Qiufeng as his opponent.

He can lose to anyone but not to Mo Qiufeng!

“Lu Ye has been promoted, and as an elder, we have to give him a red envelope to celebrate. Okay, let’s go, bye!”

Ruan Qiqi waved and pulled Lu Ye out.

“Five, four, three, two…”

Ruan Qiqi counted silently, and when she counted to two, she heard Lu Desheng’s call: “Manyun, go and wrap a red envelope for Xiaoye, wrap it thicker.”

She and Lu Ye smiled at each other, turned around neatly, and waited to receive the red envelope.

Ruan Qiqi also said: “Last time I went to the Mo family, Uncle Mo wrapped a super large gift of fifty yuan, so generous!”

Lu Desheng’s head hurt even more, secretly cursing Mo Qiufeng for being shameless, giving red envelopes behind his back, and not telling him, causing him to be stingy by this crazy girl.

In order not to lose to Mo Qiufeng, Lu Desheng simply went to the room and wrapped the red envelope himself.

Lin Manyun had already wrapped a red envelope of ten yuan, which was the limit of her tolerance. If Lu Desheng hadn’t asked her to wrap it thicker, she would have wrapped at most one yuan.

After all, in her opinion, all the money of the Lu family belonged to her and her son, and Lu Ye and Lu Chuncao had no right to spend it.

“I didn’t ask you to wrap a thicker envelope. Did you wrap 10 yuan to make Mo Qiufeng laugh?”

Lu Desheng was very dissatisfied. He felt that Lin Manyun suddenly became not sensible at all. The face that he originally thought was gentle and beautiful also became more mercenary and calculating.

Lin Manyun bit her back teeth and wrapped two red envelopes, each containing 50 yuan, because Lu Desheng said that she must not lose to Mo Qiufeng.

One hundred yuan, it was just so cheap for Lu Ye. Lin Manyun was so distressed that she almost fainted.

Although she was very unwilling, Lin Manyun did not dare to resist. She took two red envelopes and went out and stuffed them into Lu Ye’s pockets.

Lu Ye did not even look at them and gave them to Ruan Qiqi.

Lin Manyun could not help but sneer, “Xiao Ye is really sensible. He knows to hand it over to his partner before getting married.”

Lu Desheng frowned, thinking that Lu Ye was really stupid. How could he hand over the money before getting married? He seemed to be humble. He was so mad that he was trained to be so obedient before he even got married.

“I forgot to say just now that Lu Ye and I have already obtained the marriage certificate. Look, our marriage certificate. So, I solemnly invite you two to come to my humble home tomorrow night for a wedding drink!” Ruan

Qiqi took out two marriage certificates, shook them in front of Lin Manyun a few times, and invited them to the wedding drink.

Lin Manyun’s eyes went dark. She really wanted to kill this crazy girl. She did it on purpose. She didn’t tell him when she came in. She gave him two red envelopes and told him that she would need another red envelope when she went to have a drink tomorrow.

Three red envelopes. I felt so sorry for her!
