Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the evening self-study session, Lu Bei walked out of the teaching building. There was a low-key, luxurious black car parked under the teaching building. The driver in a suit was standing by the side. When he saw Lu Bei, he bowed, “Young Master.”
Lu Bei nodded with a normal expression and got into the car through the driver’s open door. The driver gently closed the car door and entered the driver’s seat. The black car quickly disappeared in the night.
The students who saw this scene were already used to it. Logically speaking, their school did not allow private cars to enter. For example, the car that came to pick them up had to be parked outside the school. However, Lu Bei did not need to do that. After all, his father was very rich.
Repulse Bay Villa.
Lu Bei opened the door and changed his shoes as usual. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. In the past, the living room’s headlights were switched off at this time. There was only a small night light and a servant waiting by the side. But now, the hall was bright and the servants had disappeared. In the huge living room, only the woman sitting on the sofa looked at him with a smile.
Lu Bei: “? ? ?”
This woman was waiting for him?
Xiang Xiaoyuan had a decent smile on her face. She tried her best to speak in a gentle tone, “Lu Bei, I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu bei took a step back silently.
Xiang Xiaoyuan did not mind, she continued to say what she had prepared beforehand, “It’s like this. In the afternoon, Assistant Gao called me and said that you guys are going to have a parent-teacher conference soon. However, during the parent-teacher conference, he had to go overseas and could not come back, so he wanted to ask me to go...”
Then, she added in a very understanding manner, “I feel that I should not make this decision on my own, so I want to ask you. If I go to the parent-teacher conference, would you mind? Of course, if you mind, I will talk to assistant Gao and ask him to come back as soon as possible.”
Even though he said that, Xiang Xiaoyuan muttered in her heart as if she was reciting scriptures, “Please don’t mind, please agree. I don’t want to put so much money into other people’s pockets!”
Lu Bei was stunned. He didn’t expect Xiang Xiaoyuan to tell him these things. Although he was surprised, his handsome face was still expressionless. “It’s up to you.”
He did not care who attended the parent-teacher conference a long time ago. It did not matter whether it was Assistant Gao or the stepmother, Xiang Xiaoyuan.
She did not expect things to be so easy. Xiang Xiaoyuan could not help but smile. Her beautiful and exquisite face was filled with unconcealable joy. She was originally good-looking. When she smiled sincerely, it was even more eye-catching.
Lu Bei shifted his gaze. His mouth twitched a few times as if he wanted to say something, but he did not say anything. He had too little communication with Xiang Xiaoyuan, so there was no topic to talk about.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was very happy. She was so happy that she did not notice Lu Bei’s hesitation. Lu Bei’s nod was equivalent to sending 800,000 to 900,000 yuan into her hands! As expected of her good son!
Thinking of this, she smiled and waved at Lu Bei. “You must be tired from school. Go up and rest. Have a good night.”
Lu Bei’s body stiffened, and he ran up the stairs at an extremely fast speed.
He was not used to the kindness that Xiang Xiaoyuan displayed, but in his heart, he was not as disgusted with this kindness as he had imagined. This stepmother was getting stranger and stranger.
...
Xiang Xiaoyuan was busy preparing for the parent-teacher conference. The day before the parent-teacher conference, a strange woman welcomed them into their house. This woman claimed to be Lu Bei’s aunt.
Of course, “strange” meant that Xiang Xiaoyuan was unfamiliar with this woman. This woman was not unfamiliar with their house at all, as soon as she entered the house, she adeptly instructed the maid, “Nanny Zhang, get me a cup of hand-ground coffee. It’s the same as before. Three parts sugar, no milk. Also, what’s with the scent in this house? Didn’t I say that I don’t like the smell of roses?”
After saying this, the woman looked as if she had just seen Xiang Xiaoyuan and exclaimed, “Ah, so you’re at home. I’m sorry I didn’t see you.” Although she said that she was sorry, the woman did not look apologetic at all.
Xiang Xiaoyuan massaged her temples. As a qualified transmigrator, she had long understood the situation in this house. The woman in front of her was called Jiang Yan. She was Lu Bei’s biological mother, Yao Fei’s best friend, so she was also Lu Bei’s nominal “aunt.”.
Ever since Yao Fei and Lu Wanggui divorced, Jiang Yan had been showing concern for Lu Bei and had been going to the villa every few days. As for whether she was concerned about Lu Bei or had ulterior motives for Lu Wanggui, it was unclear.
“You didn’t see me? Then you should go to the hospital to have a look at your eyes.”
She couldn’t see a beauty like herself. How blind must her eyes be?
Without waiting for Jiang Yan to flare up, Xiang Xiaoyuan sat down in the middle of the sofa and said lazily, “Lu Bei’s aunt, right? I’m really sorry. You don’t like the smell of rose incense, but I do, so this incense might not be changed.”
Jiang Yan: “....”
