Chapter 15: The Sudden Lady
In the gentle afternoon, in the European-style pavilion in the back garden, on the exquisitely carved retro small round table, placed in the transparent teapot on the heating stove, the small bud roses are swimming slowly, and the faint fragrance fills the air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The servant bent down to place the delicate refreshments on the tray on the table, and then withdrew from the pavilion with a wave from the elegant woman beside her.
Lei Mu sat upright on the chair with her shoulders straight, her posture was elegant, and she had a noble temperament in her gestures. She took a sip of the teacup and put it down, looking at the woman sitting beside her, with a delicate and small soft face, with a well-behaved and supple smile.
With a loving light in her eyes, Lei Mu held her tender hand and sighed lightly: "You all know to come and see me, but Ziqian doesn't know how to come back and see, I almost forgot what my son looks like." ”
There is a feeling of longing that cannot be hidden in the words of complaining.
Shu Manxue looked at her innocently and pursed her lips: "It may be that Brother Ziqian has been busy seeing Miss Bei recently, and it is inevitable that he will ignore us, Aunt Qing, don't blame him." ”
Lei Mu's face changed slightly, she held her hand tightly, and her eyes were a little sharp: "What Miss Bei?" ”
As if suddenly realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have said, Shu Manxue hurriedly covered her mouth, looking annoyed. Hesitantly looking at Lei Mu's displeased look, she lowered her head helplessly and was silent for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Lei Mu's heart became more and more worried. Her son is not something that any wild bee or butterfly can dream of.
Her face sank, and she said in a stern tone: "Man Xue, your brother Ziqian is messing around outside, do you want to hide it from me?" ”
Lei Shu's two families are world friends, and their relationship has always been close, and Shu Manxue's well-behaved and supple temperament makes Lei's mother love him even more. Therefore, her refusal to tell her frankly at this moment inevitably made her angry.
raised her head timidly, seeing that she was really angry, Shu Manxue was apologetic and embarrassed, Lei Mu's face became more and more serious because of her expression, and her eyes looked at her fiercely.
Her heart tightened, she bit her lip, and finally spoke: "Aunt Qing, don't be angry, I just said it." Brother Ziqian often goes to Miss Pei's shop to buy cakes, and some time ago her store was closed down because of food safety issues......"
Lei Mu frowned violently, and interrupted her in a deep tone: "What! This kind of shop Qian even dares to go! ”
She has always attached the most importance to the health of her family, but she was annoyed at the moment, and her perception of Bei Xiaorou immediately became bad, and Shu Manxue also knew her well.
A dark light flashed in her bright eyes, but the expression on her face was confused: "Generally, Miss Bei takes the initiative to call to invite, and I don't know what her purpose is?" ”
Lei Mu's eyes suddenly sank, and she snorted coldly: "No matter what her purpose is, I will never allow her to associate with Ziqian with this kind of person!" Manxue, give me her address. ”
Shu Manxue looked at Lei Mu with a stunned expression, biting her lip and hesitating, Lei Mu looked at her with a cold face. Seeing that her face was displeased, she didn't dare to say anything more at the moment, and hurriedly reported the address obediently.
Lei Mu's face was cold, Shu Manxue picked up the teacup, and with the action of drinking tea, she covered the cold light that flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly, which was fleeting.

There was a sweet aroma floating in the air, and the occasional soft sound of cups and plates colliding echoed in the store, mixed with some dull whispers.
Sending off another table of guests, Bei Xiaorou cleaned up the table, turned her head to look at the gloomy weather outside the window, the air was dull, like a prelude to a storm.
The clerk asked for leave for something, but fortunately it was not too busy today, the customers in the store left one after another, and after cleaning up all the tabletops, Bei Xiaorou stood in front of the counter, took the water handed by her mother and drank it slowly.
Mother of pearl looked at her lovingly, pressed her stomach lightly with one hand, and felt that the previous discomfort was much better, and the originally lightly locked eyebrows were also relaxed a lot.
At this time, there were no customers in the store, and the atmosphere was silent for a while, and when the crisp wind chimes rang, the two immediately turned their heads to look.
A delicately dressed woman walked slowly into the store, elegant and extravagant. The well-maintained face showed the beauty of her youth, and a pair of pearl earrings and a necklace around her neck exuded a warm glow, which made her even more gentle and noble.
Lei Mu looked around the small shop hall as she walked, her eyebrows furrowed, and there was obvious disgust in her eyes.
Pei Xiaorou took two steps forward, with a polite smile on her face, and said hello softly as usual, but who knew that she just looked at herself without saying a word, and her expressionless face made people unable to see emotions.
Just when she was puzzled, Lei Mu opened her mouth: "Miss Bei." ”
I don't understand how she knew herself, Bei Xiaorou just wanted to ask, but she spoke again, with indifference and disgust on her face that could not be ignored: "Stay away from my son." ”
Pei Xiaorou was a little stunned, not understanding what she meant by her inexplicable words.
And the mother of pearl on the side was angry because of her arrogant tone and unkind attitude. walked out of the counter and looked at her with a sinking face: "Who the hell are you, what do you mean by saying something that others can't understand?" ”
I don't know if it's because of anger or what, Mother Fritillary only felt her stomach twitch again, she reached out and covered it lightly, panting slightly.
Bei Xiaorou, who was standing behind her, didn't notice that something was wrong with her mother, but because of her angry tone, she stepped forward and hugged her shoulder, silently comforting, and then raised her eyes to look at Lei Mu: "This lady, I don't understand what you mean." ”
Lei Mu was wearing high heels, which was obviously a cut above the two opposite. She was already domineering, and at this time, she lowered her eyes and looked down at her with contempt: "Miss Pei, even if Ziqian doesn't care, but as his mother, I will never agree to involve a person with a bad character like you." If you're smart, don't contact my son again, understand?! ”
If it weren't for standing on the opposite side and hearing it clearly, Pei Xiaorou couldn't believe that these hurtful and slanderous words came out of the mouth of such an elegant woman.
And what surprised her even more was that she was Lei Ziqian's mother! Her heart sank slightly, with a faint tingling sensation.
The fritillary mother on the side was even more angry, her chest rose and fell violently, and she stretched out her hand to point at Lei Mu: "You, how do you speak, are you so slanderous?" ”
Lei Mu only glanced at her lightly, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, full of mockery.
Bei Xiaorou's hand holding her mother tightened unconsciously, her face was slightly pale, but she looked at Lei Mu with a firm face: "Aunt, I think I have never done anything unreasonable, I don't understand why you say this about me?" ”
The disgust in her eyes deepened a little, and Lei Mu snorted coldly: "It's really shameless!" ”
"You ......"
Mother Bei was annoyed, and before she could say anything to refute, Lei Mu spoke again, watching Bei Xiaorou's gaze become sharp and strong: "Miss Bei, remember my words, stay away from my son, and don't pester him anymore, otherwise, I can't guarantee that your store can still open." ”
Throwing down the words, she snorted softly and turned haughtily.
Mother of pearl pointed to her back, her lips trembling with anger: "You...... You think it's great to be rich, it's too much. ”
Lei Mu stopped and continued to walk out, with such a contemptuous attitude, Mother Pearlie only felt the pain in her stomach burn to her heart, and her eyes were a little dissipated.
