Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiang Xiaoyuan tilted her head, her clear eyes were filled with confusion. “Why should I want things from the Lu family? As long as Lu Wanggui is mine, I don’t care about anything else. Besides, Lu Bei is obedient and capable. Isn’t it normal for the Lu family’s assets to be handed over to him?”
F * ck, this woman was a fool!
Jiang Yan cursed in her heart. Which woman didn’t plan for her future? Love? How long could love last? It was only right to get money and shares as soon as possible!
Jiang Yan didn’t want to reason with a fool, so she came in a huff and left dejectedly.
It wasn’t that Jiang Yan didn’t want to get tangled up with Xiang Xiaoyuan, but Xiang Xiaoyuan’s identity made it impossible for her to get anything out of her no matter what she said. Xiang Xiaoyuan was the mistress of the villa, and the servants all listened to her. Jiang Yan wanted to sow discord between the husband and wife, but Xiang Xiaoyuan wasn’t fooled!
Why was she still wasting her time here!
Xiang Xiaoyuan stood at the door and watched Jiang Yan leave. For the first time, she was curious about Lu Wanggui. An old man who was almost forty years old and there was still a woman came rushing to his door? Just because he had a lot of money? But if it was just money, there was no need to waste so many years, right?
It was said that Jiang Yan kept coming to the villa after Yao Fei and Lu Wanggui divorced. She was so persistent, was it really just for money? It didn’t seem like it…
When they returned to the villa, Xiang Xiaoyuan noticed that Nanny Zhang was looking at her strangely. She was probably shocked.
The servants’ impression of Xiang Xiaoyuan was that she was taciturn and easy to serve. Now that she had angered the person who came to provoke her with a few words, it might be that she could not bear it anymore.
However, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not think of hiding her true personality. She was good at judging the situation and talking nonsense to others, but that did not mean that she liked to be ridden on by others. To a provocateur like Jiang Yan, she had to fight back fiercely.
As for being discovered by others that her personality had changed drastically? So what? She was now Xiang Xiaoyuan!
…
During dinner time, Xiang Xiaoyuan specially ordered the kitchen to make scallion pancakes, cold noodles, hot and sour noodles, and other delicacies.
While Xiang Xiaoyuan despised the luxurious lives of the rich, she was also immersed in the lives of the rich without thinking about it. After she crossed over, she found out that the chefs of the rich families were not just one or two. Instead, it was like a five-star restaurant, with Chinese chefs and western chefs, as well as chefs specialized in making desserts. Each chef also had an assistant, which guaranteed that they could cook as soon as the owner wanted to eat.
What made Xiang Xiaoyuan the happiest was that these chefs not only knew how to cook big meals, but also streetfood. Take these spicy and sour noodles for example. Xiang Xiaoyuan had always thought that the spicy and sour noodles from the roadside stalls were good, but after trying the Lu family’s chef’s cooking, she finally knew the difference between a chef and a roadside stall owner!
It turned out that the spicy and sour noodles could be made into something that she could not afford!
It was delicious and beautiful!
When the food arrived, Xiang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and took out the golden scallion pancake. Just as she was about to stuff it into her mouth, Lu Bei came back.
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the time and guessed that this child had skipped the evening self-study session again. She looked at the delicious food on the table and then at Lu Bei who was changing his shoes at the door. She hesitated whether she should invite him to finish the meal together.
But before she could say anything, she saw Lu Bei fly upstairs like a gust of wind. He did not give her a chance to ask.
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
She shrugged her shoulders. Alright, then don’t blame her for eating alone.
Lu Bei was already a big boy. He would not let himself go hungry. Besides, there were so many chefs in the villa. He would not be able to go hungry anyways. Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoyuan started eating without any psychological burden.
Before transmigrating, Xiang Xiaoyuan was also a beauty with a body and face comparable to a celebrity. The only drawback of being a beauty was that she needed self-discipline. No matter how delicious the food in front of her was, when she was 70% full, Xiang Xiaoyuan would reluctantly put down her chopsticks.
Beauty and delicacies did not go well together.
Rubbing her belly, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that the calories she had consumed tonight were a little high. She remembered that there seemed to be a dedicated gym upstairs with a lot of fitness facilities, so she went over to run and do yoga.
Thinking of this, she went to the master bedroom to change into light clothes.
What she did not know was that today was also Lu Bei’s fitness day.
Both of them wanted to work out, but Lu Bei was a step behind Xiang Xiaoyuan. When he changed into shorts and walked to the gym, he just happened to see Xiang Xiaoyuan push the door open and enter.
Lu Bei: “…”
It seemed that today’s fitness plan had to be put on hold.
This gym, to a certain extent, belonged to Lu Bei alone. Lu Wanggui was busy with work and often didn’t come home. In addition, Lu Bei was a bit of a neat freak, so this gym belonged to Lu Wanggui who had specially built it for Lu Bei.. It was just that he didn’t expect that there would be another person now.
