Chapter 43: It Doesn ‘t Matter If My Husband Is Rich

“What are you doing here if you don’t want to learn?”

“..” He thought that if he acted nonchalant, his intentions wouldn’t be discovered. In the end, Meng Chuyuan’s words made him feel exposed.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said disdainfully, “You’re a man who doesn’t even know how to cook. In the future, when you’re in a relationship, don’t ever tell your girlfriend that you’ll be able to support her.”

Lu Jinsen frowned. Not to be outdone, he said, “My brother doesn’t know how to cook either. Didn’t you still get married to him?” Meng Chuyuan’s words rendered him speechless. “He’s rich.”

She was the only one who could say this so confidently.

After all, Lu Qingye was really rich.

Although Lu Jinsen came from a wealthy family, he was probably influenced by Lu Qingye, that workaholic. He had always thought that his family’s wealth had nothing to do with him. This was also one of the reasons that led him to choose to debut.

Seeing that he fell silent, Meng Chuyuan continued, “Your family background is a little better than others, but you have a ton of bad habits. If you don’t start learning some real skills, who will think highly of you?”

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s answer, Lu Qianling silently gave her a thumbs up. She was very impressed. “That’s awesome.”

Lu Qianling thought that they had only interacted with each other for a few days when they went to participate in a variety show. She did not expect her to be able to summarize Lu Jinsen up in one sentence.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at Lu Qianling indifferently. She had not interacted much with this fellow, but judging from Lu Jinsen’s personality, she should not be any better.

Perhaps agitated by Meng Chuyuan’s words, Lu Jinsen turned around and stayed in the kitchen to watch Uncle Yuan prepare the dishes. He secretly memorized every step.

Seeing that he was willing to calm down and learn, Meng Chuyuan walked out to the courtyard.

The last time Meng Chuyuan returned to the Lu residence was with Lu Qingye. It was the day after they registered their marriage. It was the first time Lu Qingye brought her home for dinner to meet his family.

However, halfway through dinner that night, Lu Qingye received an urgent call saying that he had to go on a business trip. Before leaving the Lu residence, he did not forget to bring Meng Chuyuan along, causing her to leave the house feeling hungry. Resultantly, she could not even sleep well that night.

Lu Qianling had inconspicuously followed her out and even took the initiative to talk to Meng Chuyuan. “Do you know when my brother will be back?”

“You’ll have to ask your brother.”

The only unprecedented contact she had with Lu Qingye was yesterday afternoon.

Lu Qingye had been on a business trip for more than half a month, but he did not take the initiative to call back home. However, Meng Chuyuan thought to herself that even if he were to call home, he would not call her.

Lu Qianling looked at Meng Chuyuan, her eyes widening in shock. She sneered.

“No way! He didn’t even tell you roughly when he would be back?” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and shrugged. “Is that so surprising?”

‘ She thought Meng Chuyuan knew.

But she didn’t.

After a while, Lu Qianling eagerly followed over again and asked, “Do you want to move in?”

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. A trace of playfulness flashed in his eyes. “Why? Do you like me?”

Lu Qianling did not expect her to suddenly stop. If she had not reacted quickly, she might have bumped into her.

She took a step back and kept a suitable distance from Meng Chuyuan.

Lu Qianling said proudly, “When did I say that I like you?”

To be honest, she did not like Meng Chuyuan very much, but her brother had married her.

Lu Qianling narrowed her eyes and frowned slightly. She scanned Meng Chuyuan from top to bottom, and the contempt in her eyes gradually eased.

Upon a closer look, Meng Chuyuan was indeed very beautiful.

She had the perfect oval face, with a pair of mesmerizing doe eyes that glowed. Her small rosebud lips were pursed in a faint smile that was healing and filled with charm.

Just by looking at her for a few seconds, Lu Qianling felt mesmerized.

It was not until Meng Chuyuan’s voice rang in her ears that Lu Qianling came back to her senses.

Meng Chuyuan looked at her cute and proud face and teased, “I thought you wanted me to get lost.”

Lu Qianling rolled her eyes at her mercilessly and said, “Have you watched too many melodramatic dramas? If I ask you to get lost, Big Brother will scold me to death when he comes back. I’m not that stupid.”

Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and said, “Then you have to give me a reason to move here.”

“What’s wrong with moving in? Anyway, my family can’t find any chefs now. It’s also troublesome for Uncle Yuan to have to run around. If you compromise and move over, we would all have food to eat. Wouldn’t that be ideal?”

In fact, Lu Qianling had looked for Uncle Yuan before ordering takeout last night and asked him to come over to cook. In the end, he said that he had something on and could not come.

From the looks of it today, Uncle Yuan must have refused to come here last night because Meng Chuyuan had returned. After a while, she said, “You can move in tonight.”

Meng Chuyuan smiled helplessly. “So soon?”

“An empty sack cannot stand upright. How can I not be anxious when it comes to food?”

Meng Chuyuan did not leave after lunch because Lu Qianling insisted that she move in.

Hence, after lunch, she and Uncle Yuan spent the entire afternoon teaching Lu Jinsen how to cook.

Lu Qianling opened the room door and turned on the light. “This is my brother’s bedroom. You can stay here. I’ll get you a few sets of clothes later.”

The last time she returned to the Lu residence, Meng Chuyuan did not go up to the second floor at all, let alone visit Lu Qingye’s bedroom.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at the room. It was decorated in a minimalistic European style with dark colors. There were not many decorations in the room. It was simple, not complicated, low-key, and not luxurious.

“It’s indeed Lu Qingye’s style, but are you sure you want me to stay here?”

Lu Qianling put her hands in her pockets and looked at her coldly. “You have no choice but to stay here.”

She left Meng Chuyuan with these words and left the bedroom. When she went downstairs and saw her mother who had just returned, Lu Qianling called out to her.

When Madam Lu heard this, she looked up at her and saw Lu Qingye’s bedroom from the corner of her eye.

Madam Lu saw that the door was open and there was still light inside. She retracted her gaze and asked Lu Qianling, “Lingling, did your brother come back from his business trip?”

Lu Qianling shook her head and said, “No.” “Then why is the light on in his bedroom?”

“His wife. I asked her to move in.’

Madam Lu looked up in shock and glanced upstairs again. She said in a surprised tone, “Why did you ask her to stay? You’re even willing to let her stay in your brother’s bedroom?”

“I don’t want others to say that our family bullies her; That we don’t even let her sleep in the master bedroom. Moreover, they’re husband and wife. If Big Brother is willing to marry her, he probably wouldn’t mind me taking the initiative to give his room to her.”

“You seem to have grown up, but you have to listen to me. Don’t provoke her for no reason. This woman seems difficult to deal with.’

Lu Qingye was famous for not getting close to women. Over the years, no woman had been able to get close to him. For Meng Chuyuan to be able to register a marriage with her son, Madam Lu knew that things were definitely not that simple.

However, she was an open-minded mother and would never interfere in the children’s matters.

Lu Qianling nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, I know what to do..”
