I showed unprecedented enthusiasm and seriousness in cooking for Mrs. Lu.

She came to the kitchen, asked me if I want to help, I hurriedly invited her out, in case the fumes choked her will not be good, although she said that she also cooks at home, I am not quite believe, such as the Lu family such a rich family light cooks are several, where to use her hands, at most, it is the whim of the fun just.

I quietly probed and looked, Mrs. Lu was not in the living room, I think she must have gone upstairs. So I secretly sent a message to Mr. Lu, telling him that his mother had come over.

In fact, I am still afraid in my heart, because I don’t know the real intention of Mrs. Lu, if she has a chilling look on her face or if she is hiding a knife in her smile, I can see it, but she is acting very naturally, as if she is coming to see her future daughter-in-law. But I don’t have that kind of luck, I’m just a little canary that Mr. Lu spends his money on, and after a year, or eight months to be exact, he’ll open the cage and let me go.

Mr. Lu has always been concise in returning messages, with only three words: got it.

He did not say to come back, but I know he will come back, because he likes me so much, can not afford to let me suffer a little bit of aggression, he is now very afraid of me upset, if I do not care about him, he will be very anxious, around me coaxing, always have to be coaxed to make me happy.

The meal was just on the table when Mr. Lu returned, he saw Mrs. Lu and greeted her with a smile, “Mom, what brings you here?”

Mrs. Lu looked at him lovingly, “You old not come home even during this period of time, your father asked me to come and take a look at you.”

Mr. Lu said, “I’m not busy, I’ll go home when I’m done.”

Mrs. Lu looked at me and smiled, “You’re too busy to finish, fortunately, I’m relieved to have Xiao Xu to take care of me, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to eat out all day long!”

Mrs. Lu was full of praise for my handiwork, “These dishes are even better than the cooks at home, Xiao Xu, I really can’t see that you’re young and green and you’re a good cook, Hao Chen will have a blessed mouth in the future.”

Mr. Lu laughed and said, “Mom, if you praise her, her tail should be up in the air.”

Mrs. Lu said, “She’s so young and the food is so good, it’s only right that she should warp to the sky.”

I was happy to hear that, and winked triumphantly at Mr. Lu. If he normally saw me like this, he would have come to pinch my face, probably in front of his mother, he was embarrassed, so he didn’t react.

Mrs. Lu seems to like me quite a lot, always giving me food, making me surprised and flattered. Stealing a glance at Mr. Lu, he also smiled with a happy look on his face.

The scene gave me a glimmer of hope that maybe it was really possible that the one-year deadline would turn out to be indefinite and that I, in turn, would fly up to become a phoenix!

This meal we all eat very happy, Mrs. Lu is really very kind, and I chat with the East and West, very modest to ask me how to master the fire, and side dishes and so on, and asked me what I like, what are the usual pastimes? Also said that there is a chance to go out shopping together or something, my heart straight bubble, smiling and nodding. My eyes swept into the expression of Mr. Lu, a moment of sobriety, know that I am a little forgetful, and quickly make a low-eyebrow look.

After dinner, Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu sat in the living room and talked, I made them tea and then went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

At first I could hear them talking, then the voices lowered as if they didn’t want me to hear them, I quietly probed and looked, Mrs. Lu was still smiling, but Mr. Lu had a sullen face.

But then, Mrs. Lu’s face didn’t look too good, so much so that I didn’t dare to go out even after I had cleaned up, and it seemed as if mother and son were arguing.

I stood by the door and strained my ears to listen, and vaguely heard Mrs. Lu say, “Don’t be obsessed!”

And Mr. Lu replied to her, “Stay out of my business, I’m getting along quite well with her.”

I know they are talking about me, don’t look at Mrs. Lu is always smiling, in her heart she despises me, she must be warning Mr. Lu not to take me seriously, and Mr. Lu got into an argument with her for me, and I was touched by his reply.

I cut the fruit and served it to them, Mrs. Lu asked me to sit down and eat with her, and she talked about some interesting things about Mr. Lu’s childhood. Hearing me laugh, Mr. Lu also laughed, the atmosphere immediately changed for the better. But I always feel that Mr. Lu is a little strange, as if he is absent-minded, I know that he is suffering for the argument just now. I gently shook his hand, wanting to tell him that no matter what, I will be with him.

Mrs. Lu sat for a while longer and then said goodbye, the driver met her at the door, so I sent her out with Mr. Lu, who personally opened the car door for her and instructed the driver to drive carefully.

Mrs. Lu poked her head out of the car window, waved goodbye to me, and invited me to sit at her home, saying that Mr. Lu also wished to meet me.

She kept smiling, so I couldn’t figure out what she meant, at first glance it sounded like meeting the parents, but I knew it wasn’t that simple, she must have failed to convince Mr. Lu, so she planned to let Mr. Lu step in to settle the matter.

Mr. Lu’s face was really a bit bad, and he didn’t say anything, only telling the driver to drive quickly.

The black sedan lit up with fishy red taillights and beckoned all the way to the house as Lu wrapped his arm around my waist and headed back to the house.

I asked him, “You don’t look happy, did something happen?”

“No,” he let go of me, picked up the cup to drink tea, in fact, the tea is cold early, I want to make him a new cup, but he said no, straight up the stairs.

He wasn’t happy, and I couldn’t get sore, so I followed him up, getting up on him, kissing his neck, and blowing into his ears, which usually always got him in the mood, and quickly aroused, but today was an exception, and he peeled me off of me, and went straight to the den.

I was about to follow him, but just as I reached the door, he turned back to me, his gaze a little cold, “I’m going to do something, so don’t come in.”

I froze there, my smile was also stiff, he hadn’t used this kind of attitude to me for a long time, so for a moment, I felt very aggravated, watching that door quickly and swiftly close, my heart was cold, but I could understand, I think he was caught between me and his parents, it was also very difficult.

That night, instead of going back to his room to sleep, he slept in the guest room. I lay in bed tossing and turning, not used to not having him around anymore.

After ten days or so, again while Mr. Lu was away, Mrs. Lu sent her driver to pick me up, and she called me and said that she invited me to her home to play. At that time, the driver was already waiting at the door, even if I reported to Mr. Lu, it was too late. I had to get into the car.

The driver is a sturdy man, I guess the possibility of me escaping from under his eyes is zero. He looked honest, but his eyes hide shrewdness, do not think I can not see, this girl is a man in the pile of mixed up, so I behaved on the way to the point, half not show fear.

To be on the safe side, I used my cell phone to secretly send a message to Mr. Lu, telling him about this. Since going is unavoidable, I at least hope that he will rush back to save me before I am tortured by his parents. There are a lot of such bridges in Xiao Yan, where the male lead’s evil parents will try all the poisonous ways to stop Cinderella from getting to the top, such as insulting, scolding, or even simply torturing, hiding, and the last step is to kill and exterminate her …

I couldn’t help but shiver at the thought, and the driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror, “Ms. Xu, are you feeling cold? I’ll turn up the air-conditioning.”

I knew he wasn’t an easy character, and I dared to say that every move I made fell into his eyes.

Unlike what I expected, Mr. Lu also looked very loving when he saw me and asked me with a smile if I wanted to drink fresh coconut juice.

I was stumped. I didn’t just walk in the door and try to poison me, did I?

But I didn’t move, said yes, and thanked him very politely again.

Mr. Lu looked at me and nodded uncontrollably, sizing me up like a lamb to the slaughter.

Mrs. Lu has been smiling, dragging my hand to take me upstairs, walking and introducing the layout of the house, and then took me to see the room of Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu has been following behind, still non-stop measuring me, I do not have eyes behind me, but feel it, so my back is like a thorn in my side, and I have been terrified.

Mrs. Lu said, “Xiao Xu, Hao Chen is much older than you, and his temper is also a bit strange, usually you treat him more. He eats soft food, but not hard, when angry, to go along with him, wait for his anger to subside and then reason with him. He hasn’t been very happy, he likes to keep everything inside, we can’t help him, we can only rely on you to enlighten him more, these years, he’s too bitter.”

I was stunned, what was Mrs. Lu doing telling me this? Is she still acting? It’s not necessary at all. If you want to kill me, just give me a quick one! How can you play this kind of psychological tactics against such a small character like me?

Mr. Lu did not nag like Mrs. Lu, he took me to the kennel to see the dogs, dozens and dozens of different kinds of dogs, there are huge, there are miniature, there are fierce, there are cute cute, I saw a black bear dog, it was not locked in the cage, like a janitor in the kennel side of the wandering, see us over, it quickly greeted Mr. Lu wagged his head, silly stupid look. It looked so cute, I touched its head and teased it. Mr. Lu told me that it was called Black Warrior, very gentle and obedient, and it was the favorite dog of his daughter, Nian Nian. Every time she came back, Black Warrior was always with her, even sleeping together.

I can see that Mr. Lu is very precious to his granddaughter, talking about her with a fluttering brow, like an old child, and that she is very powerful, at home, the two naughty little brother to control obediently.

I took the opportunity to inquire, “Is that the child of Mr. Lu’s sister or sister-in-law?”

“Sister,” Mr. Lu mentioned his daughter, his eyes flashed with more luster, “He only has one sister, married to G City, had three children, fun to play with, will be back in a while.”

“It’s not easy to marry that far away,” I said, “and it’s not easy to come back.”

“Yes, I always wanted her to just be by my side every day, but unfortunately, when you marry a husband, there are still housewives in the husband’s family.”

“We can ask her to move her family here, your house is so big, it’s perfectly big enough to live in.”

Mr. Lu laughed, “It would be nice to have it so easy, her Mr. Roots in G City, he …”

Mr. Lu suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence and just looked at the distance, I was a bit puzzled and followed his gaze, a battery car was driving towards us, the one driving the car was a bit like Mr. Lu.
