“Ah?” Xia Yingluo’s mouth was filled with cake and she looked a little stupid.
She thought that it would take at least a few more days for Wei Lingnan to solve this problem. She didn’t expect that he would resolve it so quickly in the afternoon after leaving in the morning. He rarely did something that she was satisfied with. Xia Yingluo was in a much better mood and asked, “What about those nonsense things that he did before? Didn’t he say that he was too enamored to concentrate on his work? Now that the new medicine has improved, how did he conceal his lie?” As she talked, she quickly grabbed the last pudding from her mother’s plate.
“Ah! You little robber!” Xia Ling glared at her angrily. Other people’s daughters were their mother’s intimate cotton jackets, but why did her baby girl always bring trouble for her? She even had to snatch her pudding! She was too inhumane!
Xia Yingluo was busy stuffing the pudding into her mouth and looked at Xia Ling with a silly smile.
Xia Ling reached out and pinched her face. “Naughty girl! I won’t tell you!”
Xia Yingluo laughed again and copied her big brother’s innocent and pure expression. She finally swallowed the pudding in her mouth and caressed her face in her mother’s hand. “Okay, don’t be angry. Tell me and I’ll make it for you.”
“Really?” Xia Ling looked at her suspiciously.
“I’m not as stingy as Dad, making only a little bit of dessert every time that isn’t even enough, humph.” Xia Yingluo complained. “I’ll make tiramisu for you later, and Black Forest, and cream fruit puddings!”
Xia Ling smiled happily and touched her daughter’s head. “Good girl.”
Both mother and daughter ignored one fact very well—how were Li Lei’s desserts not enough? Obviously, the combined fighting power of the two of them was amazing and they managed to sweep away a table full of cakes and puddings.
The little leopard Rong Rong smelled the sweet scent of cream and walked happily to the table. He looked at the empty table and unhappily bowed down his head. Xia Ling reached out and took Rong Rong into her arms, and said to her daughter, “Isn’t it easy for Wei Lingnan to conceal his lie? He said that although you did not agree to accept him, it gave him encouragement and inspiration for research and development, so he completed the drug. It was just a moment’s work, and public opinion changed greatly. People outside said that you were profoundly righteous and that you’re the intellectual goddess of the new era.”
Xia Yingluo was licking the cream on her fingers, and she almost choked at her words. “The intellectual goddess of the new era?!”
Xia Ling looked at her with a cheekily. “I don’t think so, either.”
“Mom~” Xia Yingluo felt wronged. She also felt that the title was too outrageous, but how could she attack her like that? However, it wasn’t a bad thing. She faintly felt that the energy in her body was full, which was probably because of her popularity now.
Even though Wei Lingnan was so bad, it was true that he helped her gather energy everywhere.
Xia Yingluo’s mood was a little complicated.
Xia Yingluo looked at her with a smile. “Okay, let’s talk about business. In a few days, it will be the flower midsummer feast. Let your two brothers accompany you.”
“What?” Xia Yingluo was stunned. “The midsummer lady feast?”
“Yes,” Xia Ling explained to her. “It’s an annual event in the city and the surrounding cities. All the wealthy ladies will attend. The main thing is for blind dates. Of course, it also has many communication functions. You guys were not in China before and didn’t participate in it, so now that you’re rarely in China, just go and look around. Your two elder brothers are at the age of marriage, but they’re not even anxious at all. Go and help them settle a girl.”
Xia Yingluo understood now. So her mother’s intention was to use her as labor?
She burst into tears. “Why should I go help them, why can’t you go yourself?”
Xia Yingluo looked gloomily into the distance. “Your dad won’t let me go, and I won’t let him go either.”
Xia Yingluo took a moment to understand. She really didn’t know what to say to her parents—the Pei family would definitely attend the midsummer ladies’ summer feast. God knew if Pei Ziheng would be there? Li Lei must be worried that Xia Ling would bump into him, and Xia Ling was also worried that Li Lei and Pei Ziheng would have conflicts. If these two people were to meet, an incident would definitely happen.
Xia Yingluo looked sympathetically at her mother. “I’ll help you eat more.” After thinking about it, she asked, “Are you not going to advise me to get a new boyfriend?”
Xia Ling looked at her like she was an idiot. “You still don’t think Wei Lingnan is annoying enough?”
Xia Yingluo heaved a long sigh. Fine, even if she had the heart, not many people could win over Wei Lingnan. Last time when she had agreed to Jiang Yu’s proposal, it was only because she had hoped that Wei Lingnan would retreat. But who knew that Wei Lingnan would hit him in public. Before Jiang Yu’s fans even had time to condemn him, he released his anti-cancer drug and suddenly stood on the moral high ground. The people supporting Wei Lingnan suddenly became a few more times than Jiang Yu. Now, Jiang Yu and his fans had no reason to continue talking logic.
She obediently followed her mother’s arrangement, and she and her two brothers attended the midsummer feast.
Along the way, Li Rui sighed and said, “If I were to say, what good are the noble ladies? They’re all so fake, like a wooden man, how could they compare with the purple daisies and interesting girls in the clubs? Appreciate the flowers, my head.”
In the second row of the extended luxury car, Shaohui glanced at his brother. “Choose one. You can’t possibly marry those girls at the club.”
“Why not?” Li Rui was upset. “As long as I’m happy!” He understood that Shaohui meant well. As the second master that wasn’t biological, his best way out was to have a strong wife so that he could have a more stable position in the future. In fact, it wasn’t easy for his parents and elder brother to worry about his marriage, but because of this, he had to know his limits even more.
His father always thought of him as a puppet since young, so he would just be a puppet.
To be free and protect his sister who was like a pearl on the palm of his hand, was also considered a contribution to the family.
Shaohui seemed to know his thoughts and didn’t say anything. He changed the topic to Yingluo. “I heard that Gu Jinxiu and Pei Yan will also be going. Be careful, don’t leave me and your brother.”
Xia Yingluo responded and smiled slightly. “Gu Jinxiu can’t do anything anymore. As for Pei Yan, she’s just an idiot. Don’t worry, brother. I’m fine. I will stay with Second Brother. As for you… hurry and get me a sister-in-law.”
This time, it was Shaohui’s expression that turned melancholic.
Li Rui looked at him with a gleeful smile and said, “Who asked you to talk about me! Our parents are most anxious over you! You can stop worrying and just find us a sister-in-law, hahaha. I will take care of Yingluo!”
