I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 74
Chapter 74: Lu Bei Does Not Want to Eat
It was said that women understood women the best. Xiang Xiaoyuan could see through Jiang Yan’s thoughts at a glance. She did not let her open her mouth. Instead, she firmly took control. “Lu Bei’s aunt is here. Have you eaten?”
This form of address…
Lu Bei and Lu Wanggui looked at her at the same time.
Although Jiang Yan hated Xiang Xiaoyuan and wished that she could disappear from this world, in front of the Lu father and son, she could only smile gently. “I haven’t eaten yet. I was thinking that since Xiao Bei is on winter break, I bought some ingredients to make dumplings for him. He loved dumplings when he was little.”
Lu Bei was expressionless, as if Jiang Yan was not talking about him.
Xiang Xiaoyuan was all smiles. “You haven’t eaten yet? That’s great. We just came back from the restaurant and packed some dishes. Do you want to try them?”
Jiang Yan: “? ?”
She looked at Lu Bei in disbelief. He actually went out to eat with Xiang Xiaoyuan? He accepted Xiang Xiaoyuan as his stepmother?
How was this possible!
He didn’t even accept her. How could he accept Xiang Xiaoyuan!
She and Lu Bei were related by blood after all. If she were to be the stepmother, she would definitely treat Lu Bei better than an outsider like Xiang Xiaoyuan, but why would Lu Bei rather accept an outsider than her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan felt extremely uncomfortable.
She blamed Yao Fei, Lu Bei, and Xiang Xiaoyuan for interfering. But she didn’t blame Lu Wanggui, who had completely ignored her from the start.
Lu Wanggui was clearly the culprit.
“No need, I’m not hungry yet.”
Jiang Yan tried her best to stand up straight. She would not lose her grip.
Things had already developed to this point. It was already a battle between women. At this moment, she could not care about Lu Wanggui and had forgotten the purpose of coming here today. She had to get back at Xiang Xiaoyuan.
“Xiao Bei likes to eat dumplings, especially the dumplings I make.”
Jiang Yan smiled. “I happen to be free these few days. I’ll stay in the villa. I’ll make dumplings for you guys tomorrow morning? Miss Xiang won’t mind, right?”
She threw the question at Xiang Xiaoyuan.
She didn’t believe that Xiang Xiaoyuan would say that she minded in front of the Lu father and son. If she really did say it, it wouldn’t matter. The Lu father and son’s impression of her would definitely drop. After all, this woman didn’t have any tolerance, right?
Xiang Xiaoyuan secretly thought to herself, this woman is starting a fight with me, right? This is great, I can finally experience the scene of women fighting!
She was secretly excited. She had been looking forward to this scene for a long time. It had been some time since she had transmigrated into the novel, but she had never had a verbal fight with anyone!
Now she finally had a chance to show off!
Who knew that before she could speak, a male voice beat her to it and said coldly, “I don’t want to eat.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Bei in surprise.
Although the original novel showed that Lu Bei did not have a good impression of his aunt, who was trying to be his stepmother, it did not say that he would not give her face.
Jiang Yan: “? ? ?”
She also widened her eyes in shock, as if she did not expect Lu Bei to embarrass her in public.
“Xiao Bei, you…”
Lu Bei went upstairs immediately.
Before his parents got divorced, his aunt would come over every few days. Later on, when his parents got divorced, this aunt would come even more frequently. Every time, she would use the excuse of taking care of him to approach his father.
Although he was young back then, he was not stupid. This woman actually dared to ask him, “From now on, I will stay at your house? You can stop calling me aunt and call me mom… I will treat you well.”
Lu Bei decisively called his mother, and only then did Jiang Yan’s foolish behavior finally stopped and stopped harassing him.
It was the first time she’d directly faced Lu Bei’s rebellion. Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed in admiration.
From Lu Bei’s attitude, it wasn’t the first time he’d openly expressed his dislike towards Jiang Yan like this, yet Jiang Yan continued to show up. It could be seen how thick-skinned this woman was…
Jiang Yan stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Lu Wanggui glanced at her. Although his tone was gentle, if one listened carefully, one would realize that there was a hint of unfamiliarity in it. “It’s getting late. Miss Jiang, you should hurry back as well.”
It was not easy for Jiang Yan to finally meet Lu Wanggui. How could she be willing to leave just like that? Brother-in-law, I have something to ask you. I recently bought quite a lot of stocks and am worried about losing money. Can you help me take a look?”
Lu Wanggui’s tone was flat. “I don’t know much about this. You can ask a professional.”
Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”
If she remembered correctly, wasn’t Lu Wanggui a stock trader who got rich by playing with futures? He was an expert in this area!
Jiang Yan’s face stiffened, but perhaps she had been hit too many times. She recovered her emotions very quickly. “Alright then, I won’t disturb you guys.”
