Chapter 5: The Family Feast

The man in front of him is just like his name, with a lazy atmosphere in his elegance, which makes it difficult not to have a good impression of him.

Lu Jinshi stared at the smile on his face, guessing what kind of woman could enter Shen Muqing's eyes.

It's a pity that as soon as his thoughts entered the state, he was interrupted by the other party's gentle voice.

"Coming back?"

"Hmm."

She silently put her bag on the shelf, and as always, never said a word more.

For the Lu family, she is just a superfluous existence, maybe she knows each other in her heart, not long after her mother's death, she proposed to the man who married a new love to leave the Lu family.

The man stared at him in surprise for a long time, then smiled and agreed.

Originally, it was a transaction to pay a minor maintenance fee every month, and they had nothing to do with each other from then on, but the uncle insisted on taking himself to the Shen family to raise him.

Well, the kind that eats and stays.

As for the other expenses, she owed Shen Muqing a large amount of money in the form of borrowing, and she had just paid it off until the end of last year.

And her approach is very much the heart of the Shen family, because in their cognition, the Shen family can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to provide her with food and accommodation.

In exchange, they got the reputation of supporting their niece's kindness, and their already unlimited career became smoother.

Only Shen Muqing, after she put the last arrears into his card, scolded her fiercely.

It is hard to imagine that such an elegant person would stand at the door of the bank regardless of the image, pinch her arms, and scold her for being indifferent.

At that time, she just looked down at him blankly, and the promise that the other party had made once again sounded in her mind.

"It's okay, my brother raises you."

This promise was too heavy, she didn't want it, and she couldn't afford to pay it back, so she simply calculated it one by one, and at the same time, she became more and more alienated from the Shen family.

No......

It was as if she had never stepped into their world.

She is just Lu Jinshi, Lu Jinshi who has been alone from beginning to end.

Therefore, she did not accept Shen Muqing's gift, and just wanted to leave the Shen family without any guilt and burden in her heart, and she did not have to face the Shen family's natural requests and accusations.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Muqing said that she was indifferent, maybe it was true.

"Don't be stunned."

Shen Muqing suddenly smiled lightly, "Come in and sit, I'll wait for you." ”

Sure enough, the Shen family members all stretched their necks and looked straight here, as if they were watching rare animals.

Before the two of them approached the restaurant, the aunt smiled lovingly: "Jinshi, I heard that you have been working as a tutor recently?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Lu Jinshi sat down with low eyebrows, took the chopsticks handed by Shen Muqing, and was about to pick up the rice, when the woman opposite asked again: "Then where have you lived recently?" School? Or a fellow scholar? ”

This kind of inquiring conversation gave her a bit of a headache, but she still told the truth: "The tutor is there." ”

"Tutor?"

Shen Muqing's action of picking up vegetables paused, and then frowned: "Is that family reliable, why didn't you go to live in someone's house without saying a word to your brother?" ”

Someone started, and the Shen family naturally would not let go of the opportunity to dig into her privacy.

One sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, very noisy.

Lu Jinshi fiddled with the rice grains a little irritably, thinking: People eat and live, such a cost-effective and easy part-time job, don't do it for nothing.

But on the surface, he could only say: "They are a big family, and they have hired more than a dozen tutors, so I can accommodate his children, and the treatment is naturally very generous." ”

As she said this, she could clearly feel an unfamiliar gaze watching her.

Lu Jinshi couldn't help but look sideways and was stunned.

I saw that the elegant woman was smiling at herself, and her smile was very similar to that of a person.

…… Mother.

She subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Muqing on the side.

"Nishiki, Nishiki?"

"Huh?"

Lu Jinshi suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Shen Muqing's helpless expression, and asked solemnly, "What's the matter?" ”

Coupled with that pair of black-rimmed glasses, she seemed more silent and boring than usual, if it weren't for her good grades, she wouldn't like the Shen family at all.

Because she doesn't look like her mother, she looks a lot like her cold-blooded and ruthless father.

But Shen Muqing didn't seem to care about this, no matter how indifferent she was, she would always smile, just like now.

I said...... Why don't you go home and live, it's close to the school. ”

As soon as Shen Muqing finished speaking, her aunt patted the back of the woman's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Look at our family Muqing, a kind-hearted child, if you marry here, you will definitely enjoy a happy life!" ”

Really.

No wonder they are so enthusiastic, it turns out that they are using me as a background board again......

The corners of Lu Jinshi's mouth rose slightly, listening to the echo of the Shen family, and suddenly said, "There is something I want to tell you." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, staring straight at her with puzzled eyes.

Shen Muqing was also looking at her, and the smile on her face slowly collapsed with the next words, and then changed from stunned to disbelief.

"I'm ready to move out and ...... later Didn't go home to live. ”

Lu Jinshi said casually, directly ignoring all the weird and complicated expressions, and without waiting for them to persuade them, he continued: "High school has a heavy academic schedule, and it is inconvenient to live anywhere, so I plan to live on campus, and I will go to college and work in the future...... It's even more difficult to live in the Shen family. ”

Although she claims to be adopted, everyone knows in their hearts that she is just a drag oil bottle that will leave the Shen family sooner or later.

Rather than the Shen family saying it, it is better for her to take the initiative, which is more in line with their minds and also rounds the face that they attach great importance to.

As expected, the Shen family dissuaded them after hearing this, and after being firmly rejected by her, they surrounded the elegant woman and praised the children taught by the Shen family for being so good, and they were able to live independently at a few years old.

And Shen Muqing on the side did not break away from the silent whirlpool until after the family banquet.

He got up with a smile, and after sending the daughter of the Lin family out of the house who was picked up by a special car, he said to Lu Jinshi, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Just leave these to the servant." ”

"Oh."

Lu Jinshi casually handed the dishes and chopsticks to the servant, and when he turned around, he found Shen Muqing standing motionless looking at him, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The girl's indifferent and detached tone made Shen Muqing's face change slightly.

"Are you really moving out?"

"Yes."

"But you're ...... alone"

"Cousin!"

Lu Jinshi interrupted him in a slightly tough tone, then looked down at his anxious expression, and said coldly: "I am no longer the little child who is anxious about tuition fees and can only turn to you for help in the end." ”

For the sake of dignity, she tearfully wrote the IOU.

But Shen Muqing didn't know that what she was crying that day was not that the Shen family was ruthless, but that she was crying that she was powerless, and she could only be squeezed by the Shen family like fish to be slaughtered.
