Ch.243 Bad impression (4)
Even though Li Murou’s food was delicious, Old Lu had eaten countless delicacies in this world and was a well0known gourmand. In addition, he was also a businessman, so he understood matters even better.
Lin Yueqi did not believe that such a clear-cut old man would favor a person because of food and let that person become his granddaughter-in-law.
While thinking that, she met Old Lu’s gaze straight on without the slightest hint of fear.
The two of them gazed at each other for a long time, but Lin Yueqi couldn’t help but ask, “Well, uh…Can I go to the toilet?”
Old Lu looked at the maid beside him and the maid immediately understood, leading Lin Yueqi to the toilet.
Lin Yueqi’s intuition was right.
This old man was a gourmand who was very picky about his food. Several days ago, Li Murou came back to the Lu residence to visit her father and cooked a meal for him, which he thought was amazing. However, he also kept his eye on the girl’s ideas. This girl grew up with a heavy sense of vanity. If she were simple-minded, then so be it, but she had never been so.
She was indeed a good cook, but the taste of the food she makes stops at just the mouth, never entering the heart. For an old man like him, it was too pompous, as if it was floating in the sky and never reaching the ground. This kind of pomp can attract the unstable hearts of young people, but it wasn’t enough to tempt him.
The reason he let Li Murou stay at the Lu residence these days was because he valued the girl’s fame and culinary achievements. He wanted to test his grandson using the girl to see if he was sincere about the girl’s mother.
As it turned out, he could still resist the temptation.
After all, a beautiful woman who can cook was a great temptation for a young man. Back then, Lu Ting’s father also could not resist the temptation of cheating, ending up in a car accident with his lover. Lu Ting’s mother also died of anger from that incident. Since then, he raised Lu Ting to be a man who respects his wife and resists the temptations of pomp and circumstance.
If Lu Ting couldn’t even resist Li Murou’s temptation, then he really didn’t deserve to be Tuantuan’s father, much less be associated with Lin Yueqi.
In this year or so, the old man had often paid attention to the movements of the mother and daughter pair. He also often told his driver to head over to the kindergarten to watch Lin Yueqi pick her daughter up. Then, she would bring the chubby little girl to a snack shop to buy her treats, ice cream, or spicy strips. In short, both mother and daughter were gluttons.
He could see that Lin Yueqi was a very simple girl, and he also hoped Lu TIng wouldn’t go the same way his father did, hurting an innocent girl because of it.
Of course, Lu Ting had no idea this was all going on. He was nervous the whole time at the dinner table, so much so that his palms were sweaty.
The old man not only held the little girl but even took the initiative to feed her. The old man was very abnormal from his usual self. Lu Ting was even wondering whether this was just the calm before a storm.
Once she finished eating, the chubby girl actually fell asleep in the arms of the old man.
Lu Ting, “…” Girl, please wake up. This isn’t the place for you to sleep!
Lin Yueqi also looked confused and wondered whether her intuition was wrong.
This old man was clearly a nice old man!
Old Lu carried up Tuantuan and said quietly, “I’ll carry her to a room to rest. Lu Ting, bring Qiqi out to the back gardens, move your muscles a little.”
Lu Ting nodded to the old man, accepting his orders.
Once the old man left, Li Murou who was standing by the table and waiting on them throughout the meal, “??” They’re off? Just like that?
She really couldn’t believe it. The old man was actually pleasant the whole night long. He was even holding the girl the whole time. Shouldn’t he say something about it?
These days, in addition to work, Li Murou had been serving the old man wholeheartedly, coaxing him into a happy mood. She had been waiting for this dinner to watch the old man split the couple apart, but what was this now?
The family ate their dinner happily together. But what about her? She was just like a maid waiting on them while they ate!
