Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Madam Lu was about to sit down and eat when she was interrupted by Meng

Chuyuan’s voice. “Mom, wash your hands before eating.”

Upon hearing Meng Chuyuan’s voice, the smile on Madam Lu’s face faded a little. She looked up at her.

This was the first day that Meng Chuyuan had moved in with them and finally, the two of them met at dinner.

Last night, Meng Chuyuan didn’t leave her room after returning home. When she woke up, Madam Lu had already gone out and she didn’t come back for lunch.

Upon hearing that she often did this, the family was used to it.

Madam Lu slowly raised her hands. She looked at the palm and the back of her hands while muttering, “My hands aren’t dirty though.”

Although that was what she said, she still obediently moved to the sink in the end and cleaned her hands with hand sanitizer.

Lu Qingye had briefly explained his situation at home to her before. His parents were still alive, and he had a pair of willful younger siblings and an aged grandmother.

It was said that Grandma Lu liked peace and quiet and did not like to live with them. She even rarely went out. Father Lu’s situation was similar to Lu Qingye’s and he was often busy with his career outside.

Madam Lu on the other hand was an interesting person. It was a pity that she did not focus on her family. Whereas, Lu Jinsen and Lu Qianling were still at a worrying age. In the end, the small matters at home still had to be resolved by Lu Qingye.

“I’m so happy to be able to eat right after I’m home.” Madam Lu came back after washing her hands. Her eyes lit up when she saw the sumptuous dishes on the table.

Lu Qianling stared at her mother and said mercilessly, “Mom, you came in exactly at mealtime. You must have been wandering around the courtyard, right?”

Madam Lu defended herself. “What nonsense are you talking about? I really just came back.”

“Come on, you always do when there’s a guest in the house.”

. ‘ She had indeed been back for quite some time.

Actually, she was worried about interacting with Meng Chuyuan. Because they were not familiar with each other, it was easy for things to get awkward.

Although she was an elder, she was also afraid of that kind of situation.

Actually, the last time Meng Chuyuan came over for dinner, Madam Lu, similar to the situation now, appeared last. She wanted everyone to be present during the meal so that she could feel a little more relaxed.

Meng Chuyuan could more or less sense that her mother-in-law was a little slow to warm up to people she was not familiar with and was not good at communication.

Madam Lu smiled and said, “Hurry up and eat. I’m hungry.”

Lu Jinsen happened to be sitting opposite his mother. He took the initiative to pick up a piece of egg and said, “Mom, try my eggs.”

When Madam Lu heard that he was the one who made it, she hurriedly picked up the bowl and shrank her elbow back. “Don’t try to fool me. Is your food even edible?”

Seeing that his mother was unwilling to try his eggs, he turned his attention to Lu Qianling.

Lu Qianling seemed to have guessed it the moment he looked over. She subconsciously covered her bowl and said coldly, “Don’t look at me. I won’t eat it.”

Just as Lu Jinsen was successively being rejected, Meng Chuyuan reached out her chopsticks and picked up a small piece of egg before stuffing it into her mouth.

“It’s okay.” She chewed twice. Other than the fact that it tasted a little salty, everything else was fine.

When Lu Jinsen heard Meng Chuyuan’s evaluation, his eyes revealed a hint of joy. “Did I succeed?”

“You need more practice.”

Madam Lu was probably really hungry. While they were discussing the plate of eggs, she had already started eating.

She ate two mouthfuls of rice, then picked up a piece of Coca-cola chicken wing and ate it. She took a bite of the tender and smooth chicken wing. It was sweet and salty, the meat was chewy, and the taste was refreshing.

Madam Lu didn’t expect the chicken wings to be so flavorful. The texture was tender and smooth, which happened to suit her taste.

As she ate, she couldn’t help but praise, “Uncle Yuan’s culinary skills have improved a lot.”

Hearing this, Uncle Yuan came over. He was overjoyed, but when he saw that

Madam Lu was eating the Coca-cola chicken wings, he only smiled awkwardly. “Madam Lu, the dish you’re eating is made by the eldest young mistress.”

“who?”

Madam Lu did not react. When she looked up, her eyes met Meng Chuyuan’s, and they were filled with surprise. She took a while to speak. “You made this?”

Lu Qianling rushed to say, “She made it. She even used one of my cans of coke.

Madam Lu restrained her expression and said calmly, “It tastes alright.”

The night was slightly cold, and a bright moon hung in the sky. The courtyard was cold and cheerless, and only the street lamps and tree shadows accompanied it.

After dinner, Meng Chuyuan returned to her room and continued to open the remaining packages. She took out the items and placed them neatly. After she was done, she went to take a shower.

Meng Chuyuan came out of the shower and wanted to dry her hair, but she realized that there was no hairdryer in the bedroom. She could only borrow it from Lu Qianling.

Lu Qianling happened to be holding a book at the side of the corridor and was chasing after Lu Jinsen for an answer. “My good brother, write down the calculation process and the answer for me. I really can’t solve it.”

“Solve it yourself. I’ve already told you the formula.”

After saying this, Lu Jinsen opened the door and entered his bedroom, shutting Lu Qianling out.

“F*ck!” The moment he closed the door, Lu Qianling was so angry that she kicked the door.

Lu Qianling cursed as she turned around to leave. Just as she was about to head back to her room, she looked up and saw Meng Chuyuan.

She retracted her temper and looked at her coldly. “Why did you come out?”

“I wanted to borrow a hairdryer from you.” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of playfulness in her eyes. “Why? Do you not know how to do your homework?”

She snorted. “None of your business.”

“Maybe I can take a look at it.”

Lu Qianling looked at her in disdain and snorted again. “No need.”

She did not believe that Meng Chuyuan could solve high school math questions.

Lu Qianling carried the book back to her room and took out the hairdryer for Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan took the hairdryer from her and thanked her. Before she left, she asked again, “Do you really not need me to take a look?”

“No. What’s there to see? I’m afraid you’ll embarrass yourself when you find out you can’t solve it.”

Seeing that Lu Qianling had such little trust in her, Meng Chuyuan didn’t insist any further. “Alright, I’ll go back. I’ll give you the hairdryer later.”

Ten minutes later, Meng Chuyuan finished drying her hair.

She took the hairdryer to Lu Qianling’s bedroom and knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Then, she came in by herself.

In the end, she saw Lu Qianling holding her face with both hands, a pen between her fingers. She was staring at the textbook on the table without anyclue how to start.

Meng Chuyuan’s lips curled into a faint smile. “You haven’t solved it yet?” Lu Qianling was shocked by her voice, and the pen fell from her hand.

She turned around to look at Meng Chuyuan, her tone tinged with irritation. “Why did you come in without knocking?”

“I knocked. You didn’t hear me, so I let myself in.”

Meng Chuyuan walked in and stood beside Lu Qianling, looking down at her textbook..
