Coincidentally, when Madam Lu asked her about this, Meng Chuyuan also decided to make certain insinuations towards her.

Madam Lu had been eating happily just now. When she heard Meng Chuyuan’s words, she was suddenly stunned. Her gaze landed on the pork ribs on her chopsticks.

She blinked slightly and said timidly, “She didn’t tell me that she wasn’t used to it.”

When Meng Chuyuan heard Madam Lu’s answer, she was surprised and did not find fault in it. She said pleasantly, “Then when she comes back next time, can you take the initiative to ask and care more about her situation in school?”

Meng Chuyuan felt that this was already the most basic daily concern. She had to let Madam Lu learn from the most basic part.

Although she could bring Lu Qianling temporary care and warmth, she could not replace the love of her parents.

Meng Chuyuan said this matter very naturally, as if she was talking about the good weather today. However, it made Lu Jinsen and his mother fall into deep thought.

If Meng Chuyuan had not inadvertently mentioned this to Mother Lu, she might not have remembered that she was a mother. Occasionally, she had to take the initiative to care for her child.

Madam Lu lowered her head in shame and hummed softly.

Seeing that she had understood, a faint smile appeared on Meng Chuyuan’s face. “She’s still young. Let’s care more about her.”

Madam Lu nodded affirmatively and said in all seriousness, “You’re right. I’ll have to pay more attention to that girl so that she won’t suspect that I’m not her biological mother.”

‘ Lu Jinsen’s jaw dropped when he saw his mother’s reaction.

His mother was usually very sharp-tongued and did not leave any room for negotiation. For some reason, she was easily manipulated by Meng Chuyuan today.

Lu Jinsen thought that if only he was a few years younger, he might be able to enjoy the same treatment as Lu Qianling. He would be less scolded and receive more concern and praise instead. Perhaps he would be more confident.

Early in the morning, the green vegetation in the courtyard was wet, and the air was slightly humid.

Meng Chuyuan woke up early to make breakfast for Lu Qianling and everyone else.

Madam Lu woke up early too. Perhaps because she was going to the company today, she was so nervous that she woke up early in the morning. She laid out a yoga mat in the living room and began to meditate.

“Did the sun rise from the west? The beautiful Madam Lin actually woke up so early?” Lu Qianling came down from upstairs and saw her mother meditating quietly.

Seeing that her mother was ignoring her, Lu Qianling silently took a detour. When she smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen, she rushed straight to the dining room.

Lu Qianling placed her bag on the chair and took a piece of pumpkin cake to eat. Then, she walked to the kitchen and looked at Meng Chuyuan, who was still busy.

“What’s wrong with my mother?” Lu Qianling asked curiously.

Meng Chuyuan looked back at the living room and said softly, “Maybe she’s adjusting her mentality because she has to go to the office later.”

“She’s going to the office?”

Lu Qianling looked puzzled and said in disbelief, “That can’t be, right? Because of the company’s matters, Dad and Big Brother are busy every day and fly around to so many countries everyday. My mother can be said to hate the people in that place the most.”

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She said with a smile, “It’s true. I’ll send you to school later, then we’ll go to the company.”

She originally wanted to send Lu Qianling off before coming back to fetch Madam Lu to the company, but when she came down to make breakfast, Madam Lu was already in this state in the living room.

Lu Qianling: “Are you sending me to school today?”

“Of course. If I don’t see you enter the school gate with my own eyes today, how can I transfer the money to you later?”

Hearing that Meng Chuyuan was going to transfer money to her today, Lu Qianling’s eyes widened with joy.

Lu Qianling suddenly hugged her from behind and said excitedly, “Little Sister

Meng, you’re simply my biological sister.”

“Calling me little sister then calling me older sister, can’t you address me more respectfully?” Meng Chuyuan pulled her away and said in disdain, “Your hands are covered in oil. Hurry up and wash them.”

Madam Lu sat down for a while and felt that there was not enough time. She immediately stood up and returned to the bedroom to change and put on makeup.

When Lu Qianling and Meng Chuyuan finished their breakfast, she still did not come out of the bedroom.

Meng Chuyuan tidied up the dining table, then picked up Lu Qianling’s bag and sent her to school before coming back.

Otherwise, it would be too early now. Even if they headed directly to the company after sending Lu Qianling to school, Madam Lu probably wouldn’t even be able to clock in so early.

Madam Lu put on the clothes she had chosen yesterday and sat in front of the dressing table, thinking about which type of foundation, lipstick, and eye shadow to use.

She usually dawdled before she went out, but most of the time, she went out to meet familiar people, so she could always match her makeup casually.

She thought that when she went to the company later, she would meet different people. Not only did her makeup have to last a little longer, but she also could not be too perfunctory. Otherwise, it would show that she did not have the temperament of a leader.

During the time Meng Chuyuan was out, Madam Lu’s makeup had not been done for nearly an hour. She felt a little like a newbie, and was hesitant every step she took.

When Meng Chuyuan came back, she changed into a professional suit and looked more formal. Then, she put on light makeup and tidied her hair.

Seeing that it was almost time, she took the initiative to come down to look for Madam Lu.

Meng Chuyuan came to her bedroom and knocked lightly on the door. “Mom, are you done?”

“The door isn’t locked. Come straight in.”

Hearing her let her in, Meng Chuyuan opened the door and walked in generously.

Madam Lu had just reached the contouring step. When she saw Meng Chuyuan walk in and saw her appear with makeup on, she suddenly envied her young face.

After a while, Madam Lu hurriedly asked her to come over. “You came at the right time. Help me take a look at my contouring.”

“You want me to contour your face for you?”

Madam Lu handed the contouring palette to her and said with relief, “Take a look at how to fix it.”

The two of them were very close to each other. Meng Chuyuan bent down and lifted her chin. She sized her up carefully for a while and first lightened the blush on her face before starting to fix her makeup.

Seeing how serious Meng Chuyuan was, Madam Lu was very cooperative. Not long after, Meng Chuyuan put down the makeup brush in her hand. “Done,” she said.

Meng Chuyuan placed the contouring palette and brush on the table, then retreated to the side to let Madam Lu look in the mirror.

Madam Lu felt that after Meng Chuyuan fixed her makeup, it had a completely different face shaping effect from before.

“Mom, you can choose a lighter lipstick.” She saw that Madam Lu was wearing lighter clothes today, so it would be suitable for her to pair it with a softer lipstick.

After hearing Meng Chuyuan’s opinion, Madam Lu finally chose a lipstick with a slightly less intense color.

Madam Lu was quite satisfied with today’s makeup. She usually did not look as serious as she did now. She looked at herself in the mirror happily and the corners of her lips stayed curled up on her face.

She tilted her head to look at Meng Chuyuan and said confidently, “Do I look ten years younger?”
