Chapter 701: New Year’s Greetings
Just before noon, Li Yue and Li Lu arrived at the Mo family ho.
Tang Xue excitedly opened the door and said, “You’re here!”
Li Yue smiled and said, “We’re here to pay new year’s greetings.”
Jiang Yu and Liu Hui were cooking in the kitchen. When they heard the voice at the door, they asked, “Who’s Here?”
Li Lu walked in and said, “Auntie, it’s , Lu Lu.”
Li Lu? Why was she here? If she was here, then Li Yue must be here as well, right?
Liu Hui patted Jiang Yu’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go out and take a look.”
Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It’s alright, Auntie.”
Liu Hui took off her apron and walked to the living room.
“So what if you’re here? What gift did you bring?” Liu Hui smiled and said.
Li Yue placed the gift on the coffee table and said, “Which junior doesn’t bring a gift when looking at an elder?”
...
Liu Hui smiled as she took the gift and said, “Have a seat.”
Li Yue and Li Lu sat on the sofa. The forr’s gaze was focused on Mo Long while the latter was looking around, trying to find traces of Jiang Yu.
Li Lu looked for a long ti but didn’t see Jiang Yu. She couldn’t help but smile and asked, “Strange, why don’t I see Jiang Yu?”
Mo Long sat on the sofa reading a book and didn’t give an answer to Li Lu’s question.
On the other hand, Elder Mo pretended not to hear it and leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.
Li Lu did not get an answer and was a little embarrassed. She asked, “Didn’t she co back with you guys?”
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were not speaking, Mo Jiang felt that he could not let the little girl be too embarrassed, so he said, “She’s in the kitchen.”
After getting this answer, Li Lu smiled in satisfaction.
It seed that what Tang Xue told him earlier today was true. Mo Long’s parents really did not like Jiang Yu, and they actually made her cook in the kitchen!
This was clearly the work of the servants, and Elder Mo and Mo Long did not stop her. It seed that they were tired of Jiang Yu.
She said, “How do you make her cook? Isn’t this the work of the servants?”
Mo Jiang said, “The servants are on vacation.”
Li Lu covered her mouth and sniggered, “But we can’t let Jiang Yu cook. After all, she’s Mo Long’s girlfriend.”
.
As she said that, she sneaked a glance at Mo Long.
Seeing that there was no expression on his face, Li Lu could not help but snicker even more happily.
Now that Mo Long had stopped speaking up for Jiang Yu, it seed that she was not far from being kicked out.
Hence, she beca even more impudent and said, “Mo Long, do you have the heart to let Jiang Yu cook?”
Mo Long’s gaze finally shifted away from the book and looked at Li Lu. He said coldly, “That’s still better than a pampered young miss like you, right?”
Li Lu was choked by Mo Long’s words and she swallowed back the words that she wanted to say.
It seed like he felt that she had disgraced him?
Hence, she secretly tugged at the corner of Li Yue’s clothes and motioned for her to say sothing.
However, Mo Long was right in front of Li Yue now. Regardless of whether he wanted to abandon Jiang Yu or not, Li Yue could not say anything bad about Jiang Yu in front of him.
Moreover, this would also damage Li Yue’s identity and image.
Hence, Li Yue cleared her throat and said, “Jiang Yu’s cooking skills should be pretty good right? After all, she has lived in the countryside for so long. She should be able to cook as well.”
Li Lu replied, “That’s right. How could a country bumpkin not know how to cook?”
The mont she said that, the atmosphere in the living room instantly turned cold.
Even Elder Mo, who had been taking a nap, opened his eyes.
Mo Jiang’s expression also darkened.
Li Lu saw that the situation was not right and stamred, “W-what’s with your expressions? I-I’m not wrong, right?”
Mo Long replied, “If there’s nothing else, please go back.”
Li Lu replied, “Go back? We’ve only just arrived! And we’re guests! How can the master chase the guests out?”
Mo Long replied, “You’re not considered guests.”
Li Lu was unconvinced and said, “Mo Long, what do you an by this?!”
Mo Long was about to speak when Jiang Yu ca out from the kitchen and said, “Get ready. It’s almost ti to eat.”
Mo Long looked at Jiang Yu and smiled. He then said coldly to Li Lu and Li Yue, “Did you hear that? The master is about to eat, so you can leave now.”
He must be very impatient and didn’t use any respectful words anymore.
“Why?” Li Lu started to be unreasonable and said, “I want to stay here to eat today, can’t I?”
Li Yue also felt that Li Lu was making a scene and hurriedly said to her, “Don’t ss around! Co ho with
now!”
“I’m not leaving!” Li Lu lost her temper.
Just as Li Yue was about to lose her temper, she heard Jiang Yu say, “Alright, then stay and eat together.”
