Chapter 710 Regret
In the banquet hall, Xu Zhishan suddenly appeared very worried and scared, which made Li Chuyue curious about Ou Jinghuan, the Lu family's mortal enemy.
The appearance of Ou Junli made Xu Zhishan even more nervous, and she even did a series of strange things.
Li Chuyue was even more puzzled, but despite her confusion, she immediately followed Xu Zhishan's advice and found an excuse not to go to the Lu family's place.
At this moment, Ying Muyun saw that Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan were not coming because of something, so she immediately asked Lu Muqi to go over and "help".
Lu Muqi knew his mother's intentions, but he was still perceptive enough to see that Li Chuyue and the others really had something on their minds.
So, he first sighed helplessly, then decisively rejected Ying Muyun, and said in a low voice:
"...Those are all girls. Weren't you most worried about me hanging out with women?"
And my elderly mother... how could I not know what you're up to...?
And it seems like something's really going on with those girls, so don't make me just go and match them up.
Ying Muyun never expected that her silly son would know that he shouldn't be randomly dating girls.
She acted as if she were meeting her son for the first time, her eyes filled with suspicion, and replied with a cold laugh:
"Ha! So you do know you shouldn't just randomly hang out with women! You never seemed to have such good judgment before!"
Sigh... Fine! Since you've already figured out that I intend for you and Shanshan to be together, I won't keep it a secret any longer.
Anyway, you have no room to refuse now, so why don't you go and pursue Shanshan?
Otherwise, you could carefully choose one you like from among the many admirers who visited you before.
Upon hearing this, Lu Muqi frowned, his face showing difficulty, as if he found it particularly troublesome, and said:
"But right now I have no interest in dating, so I can't just not..."
"No!" Before Lu Muqi could finish refusing, Ying Muyun interrupted him firmly.
Then, looking as if she had been thoroughly tormented by Lu Muqi, she complained:
"You were so focused on chatting with girls before, and you've already seen all the trouble you caused."
Besides, how old are you? If your father and I hadn't been in the military, we would have been married long ago when we were your age.
Since you won't choose according to my first two suggestions, then I'll take you around the banquet now and pick one out for you myself!
Ying Muyun paused for a moment, her tone still slightly less forceful, and said:
"Besides, I'm not forcing you to get married right away. I just feel that you can't keep seducing other people's daughters and being irresponsible!"
You don't want to end up like Ou Jinghuan, who is rumored to like women and now has a girlfriend, but it's hard for people to believe him, right?
Or...you! You really like men?!
Upon hearing his mother's last words, Lu Muqi rolled his eyes, feeling a deep sense of regret.
He felt a little guilty, thinking that if he had known his mother would easily get angry at him and pressure him to find a girlfriend, he shouldn't have been trying to get close to girls in front of her.
He shouldn't have acted so nonchalantly when girls came to his door seeking marriage, and even deliberately smiled and provoked his mother.
At this moment, Lu Muqi saw that his mother was really annoyed and insisted that he start dating right now.
Fearing another cruel beating from his mother and not wanting to go to the company with dark circles under his eyes, he had no choice but to agree.
Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to be in a relationship; he's just too busy and doesn't want to for the time being.
Finally, because Lu Muqi still had a relatively good impression of Xu Zhishan, he chose the first option given by Ying Muyun and said:
"Okay... I'll go after Shanshan."
But! Not now. The girls have their own things to talk about right now; if I go, I'll just be annoying.
Upon hearing this, Ying Muyun also rolled her eyes, but her eye roll was even more vivid and expressive than Lu Muqi's, and she jokingly said:
"Oh ho! So you do know you can be extremely annoying at times!"
"..."
Lu Muqi was once again mercilessly criticized by his beloved mother, leaving him speechless and unable to refute.
At this moment, he felt that this was his revenge for his previous arrogance, a naked revenge!
He still regretted deliberately smiling and provoking his mother when the girls came to their door! He truly regretted it!
Seeing that Lu Muqi had agreed to pursue Xu Zhishan, Ying Muyun did not insist that Lu Muqi go to Xu Zhishan now.
Finally, she led the others towards the other members of the Lu family. Knowing that Niu Liangjun was going to greet the Lu family, he was more excited than anyone else and immediately followed.
……
On the other hand, Xu Zhishan couldn't feel excited at all when facing Ou Junli, who was equally excited.
Seeing that everyone in front of her had left, she finally had a chance to catch her breath and loosened her grip on Ou Junli's shoulders.
At this moment, Ou Junli tilted her head, looking completely bewildered, and asked curiously:
"Sister Shanshan, who was the person you were talking to just now?"
Where were you headed? Did I look for you at the wrong time, or did I disturb you somewhere?
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhishan suddenly burst into laughter, waved her hand, and explained:
"Haha, no one! Oh~ that was just one of my relatives."
We were originally going to go somewhere together, but we just decided to change our minds, so don't worry about it~
Upon hearing this, Ou Junli's guilty expression vanished, while Li Chuyue, standing to the side, seemed to have discerned something.
At first, Li Chuyue thought that Xu Zhishan's strange behavior was simply because she didn't want to go to the Lu family's place.
But combining Xu Zhishan's words and actions, she thought of the awkward relationship between Ou Jinghuan's mother and Ou Junli's parents.
She guessed that Xu Zhishan had deliberately made Ou Junli turn her back to that side to prevent Xia Shumei and Ou Junli from meeting.
Li Chuyue recalled that Ou Jinghuan and Ou Junli had a good relationship, and Ou Jinghuan's mother seemed unconcerned about the past.
This raised another question in her mind, but being very curious, she decided to save it for when Ou Junli wasn't around.
At this moment, she echoed Xu Zhishan's words and greeted her with a smile:
"That's right! The two of us didn't leave because we had already decided not to go."
Junjun, you've become so beautiful in just one day!
Your dress looks beautiful; it makes you look more dignified and elegant!
Upon hearing this, Ou Junli smiled and walked up to Li Chuyue, taking her hand in hers.
She thanked her with a hint of sadness, then bowed slightly to the left and right, looking Li Chuyue up and down in her dress, and exclaimed in amazement:
"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Chuyue! But my mother always picks out my dresses, and I don't like this kind of one."
But, Chuyue, your dress is absolutely gorgeous! It's like a work of art!
