Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 247 Let’s Go Eat Hot Pot

At this moment, Zhuang Shuqing looked at her with a strange expression, saying meaningfully, "It really must be hard for your older cousin. To my knowledge, the Tan family resides in the city center, just ten minutes away by foot from Mo Entertainment Studio. She spent several times that amount of time just to consider my position; should I thank her or... laugh at her foolishness?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao’s smile froze on her face, a surge of unexplainable anger welled up within her, nearly causing her to lose her composure.

Just as she was about to take back the invitation, Zhuang Shuqing suddenly reached out and accepted it, "I’ll accept the invitation. If Miss Tan Biyang wishes for me to attend as a special invited journalist, I wouldn’t refuse."

"No no no, you are Jinyang’s wife, you must attend in full dress. Alright, I’ll go downstairs to work now."

Lin Xiaoxiao stepped away to leave, but Zhuang Shuqing called out to her, "Next time, you can just have Secretary Ding come up for matters like this."

"...Okay."

Zhuang Shuqing’s implication was that Lu Jinyang had given orders not to let unrelated persons up to the fourth floor, yet Lin Xiaoxiao took it upon herself to go there, not knowing what sort of embarrassing situation might occur if he were to encounter her.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao misunderstood her meaning.

After work, Lu Jinyang called Zhuang Shuqing to have dinner together.

At the garage, Zhuang Shuqing ran into Fangfang. Knowing that Fangfang was prejudiced against her, and to avoid unnecessary conflicts, she pretended not to see her and walked around from the side.

"People these days, just a simple promotion and they really think they’ve soared up to the branches and become the boss’s wife. In the end, aren’t they just workers?"

Zhuang Shuqing’s footsteps barely paused, and she continued forward. Although she did not stop to retaliate, Fangfang’s words had already affected her mood.

After getting into the car, she silently fastened her seatbelt and waited for Lu Jinyang to drive.

"Not happy?" the man asked.

"Hmm, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine in a bit."

Upon hearing that, Lu Jinyang started the car, and didn’t say a word all the way to the destination, which deepened Zhuang Shuqing’s gloominess.

After getting out of the car, she looked at the restaurant in front of her and turned towards Lu Jinyang in confusion.

"Let’s go in, I’m taking you to have something delicious."

Zhuang Shuqing pursed her lips and didn’t move. If she remembered correctly, it was here that she had encountered him before, but at that time she was busy talking to Tan Biyang and did not realize it was him, even after bumping into his injury.

So at that time, he was dining here with Tan Biyang!

For some reason, seeing them together in the past didn’t bother her, but now, recalling it, she felt very uncomfortable.

It was the feeling of someone having stolen something dear to her.

Without a word, Lu Jinyang just stood at the door waiting for her to speak, not rushing her.

Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t pretend anymore; she tugged at Lu Jinyang’s hand with a coquettish manner, "How about we go somewhere else?"

"You don’t like it here?"

She shook her head.

Lu Jinyang’s deep and dark eyes stared at her for a while, "Alright, you choose the place."

Zhuang Shuqing immediately smiled, "Let’s go eat hot pot."

It was deep into autumn now, a perfect time for hot pot. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Seeing her nearly drooling at the mention of hot pot, Lu Jinyang had a look of indulgence and resignation, "Let’s go, you lead the way."

"No problem."

But as she turned around, Zhuang Shuqing suddenly froze, and even Lu Jinyang’s expression turned sharp.

At that moment, there stood four people in front of them, led by Si Nanchen and Tan Biyang, who were holding hands and intimately chatting. Behind them were a middle-aged father and daughter, one with a stern face, the other expressionless.
