I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: The Same Chinese Stomach
Lu Wanggui was awakened by the sound of laughter. He rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily. He turned his head and looked to the side. Xiang Xiaoyuan took away all the quilts and tucked them under her legs. He did not know what kind of beautiful dream she was having, a laughter came out from her red lips. Her brows were relaxed. Even in her sleep, one could feel her good mood.

Lu Wanggui’s face was full of helplessness.

He knew what Xiang Xiaoyuan was up to the moment she opened her mouth yesterday, but she did not know what she was thinking. He wanted to tease her and watch her try her best to persuade him.

He did not want to think why he was so patient and curious about Xiang Xiaoyuan. It could be because of their transactional relationship, or it could be purely because he was interested in her and wanted to know what she was going to do and what kind of fun she would bring to his boring life.

He silently observed her.

…

After waking up from the dream, Xiang Xiaoyuan was in a very good mood. She felt that this dream was a sign that she was about to become rich.

After waking up, there was no sign of Lu Wanggui in the house. She got up as usual and walked briskly to the bathroom to freshen up. When she went downstairs, she happened to bump into Butler Liu and asked casually, “Where are they?”

Butler Liu smiled and replied, “Master and Young Master have already left the house. What would Madam like to eat for breakfast today? Western or Chinese food?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not even think about it, “Chinese.”

Her taste was very similar to that of the Lu father and son. They had the same Chinese stomach.

“Okay.” Housekeeper Liu nodded with a smile. “The kitchen made bird’s nest stew today. It was just flown in from abroad. Would you like a bowl, Madam?”

This luxurious life had already corroded Xiang Xiaoyuan. She was no longer a country bumpkin whose eyes would shine when she heard things like bird’s nest and shark’s fin. She waved her hand calmly. “Thank you, Butler.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was calmly enjoying her delicious breakfast. Outside, Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei were sitting in the car. The atmosphere in the car was quite tense. Today was Lu Bei’s first day of work.

Lu Wanggui could not just watch his spoiled son go to the construction site to move bricks. He switched his job at the last minute to become a porter at a food company under his name.

When Lu Bei made a promise to Lu Wang Gui, he sounded confident, but when it really came to this day, he was still very nervous.

Lu Wang Gui raised his hand and looked at his watch. His voice was still as calm as water in an old well. “Assistant Gao told them that you will report to them at nine in the morning. It’s now 8:30. You still have half an hour.”

Lu Bei, who had always lived aimlessly. He did not have much of a concept of time. Today was the first time he was up so early in a while.

Lu Bei had checked the location of the food company beforehand. Just like Repulse Bay Villa, it was far from the city center, so they were not far from each other. Although Lu Bei had promised that no one would know his identity, speaking and doing were two different things. At least until now, he had not seen himself as a worker.

When normal workers heard that there was only half an hour left until the reporting time, they would have already spread their legs and run as fast as they could. Unlike Lu Bei, who was still sitting in the car with a blank look on his face. He did not understand the meaning of his father’s words.

Lu Wanggui: “In front is the subway station, and the food company is at the end of Line 14. If I were you, I would get out of the car right now and run towards the subway station. Only then can I ensure that I’m not late for work on my first day and not leave a bad impression.”

Lu Bei: “? ?”

Take the subway? Why?

Lu Wanggui crossed his long legs and looked at his son who had yet to step into his role. He reminded him lightly, “What, do you want the chauffeur at home to send you to work? Are you working or enjoying life?”

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Lu Bei’s unyielding temper flared up. He pretended to open the door to get out of the car.

“Wait,” Lu Wanggui stopped him. “Don’t forget what you told me. Don’t let the people in the company know your identity. Once they find out that you’re my son, all your previous lofty ambitions don’t mean anything.”

Lu Bei gritted his teeth. “Of course, I don’t want them to know that I’m your son more than you don’t!”

Lu Wanggui smiled calmly. “It’d better be like this.”

Lu Bei got out of the car hatefully and closed the door with all his might. Lu Wanggui, who was sitting in the backseat, was completely unaffected by his emotions. He instructed the driver calmly, “Let’s go to the company.”

The driver: “? ? ?”

There was still a long way to the subway station. Was he really not going to send the young master off?

He did not dare to get involved in Lu Wanggui’s family matters. He stepped on the accelerator and drove off.
