Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 780: Visiting the Stepmother
Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Visiting the Stepmother
On the third day of the first lunar month, Lu Yichen drove to the Luo Family’s house early in the morning.
Returning from the Yuan Family the day before, Luo Qiao had prepared some gifts in advance.
When she got home, several brothers had also prepared things for her; Luo Qiao was quite touched, and Zhou Guifang picked out six items for her to take.
A bottle of Maotai liquor, a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, a box of tea prepared by Luo Qiao, a can of Mai Ru Jing, a can of milk powder, and a bag of oranges—in this era, these were pretty good gifts.
Today, Luo Qiao was dressed in a light pink sweater, black pants, and a pair of small heeled black leather shoes on her feet. She wore a mid-length down jacket she made herself and had put on light makeup.
When Lu Yichen saw Luo Qiao coming downstairs, his heartbeat skipped a half beat; the girl was overly beautiful on a normal day, and even more irresistible all dolled up. If it weren’t for her martial arts skills, she would indeed make people worry.
Lu Yichen told the Luo family he had prepared some things, but Zhou Guifang said, "Qiaoqiao has prepared them already; this is her way of showing her heart."
Lu Yichen had no choice but to bring them, but directly took all the things he had prepared in his car and handed them down, letting several uncles take them back.
Zhou Guifang, seeing her sons bringing back some items, said, "Why have you brought back another set of gifts?"
Luo Xuyan put down the items in his hand, "These were probably what Yichen prepared for Qiaoqiao as a betrothal gift; he just unloaded it and told us to bring it back."
Zhou Guifang looked at the items: "This child, you can’t avoid visiting families during the New Year. What if you need them while they are in the car?"
Luo Xuyuan poured himself a glass of water, "He’s going on a business trip tomorrow, so it’s not good to keep them in the car, that’s why he unloaded them."
When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, Eldest Brother Lu and his wife, with their son and daughter, had already returned, even the step-aunt Cui Yueyue was back.
Upon entering, his sister-in-law Wang Xiaoxin greeted them, "Qiaoqiao is here, come on in."
Lu Yiting, the legitimate younger aunt-in-law, also greeted them warmly, "Second sister-in-law."
Luo Qiao broke into a smile, "You might as well call me Luo Qiao, it’s a bit early for ’second sister-in-law’."
The people at the door laughed.
Geng Mingli came out of the kitchen after hearing the voices, "This must be Luo Qiao, such a beauty."
Lu Yichen introduced, "This is Auntie Geng."
Luo Qiao smiled and greeted, "Auntie Geng."
Geng Mingli said with a smile, "Come in, make yourself at home, don’t be shy."
Then, she told Cui Yueyue who came out of the kitchen, "Yueryue, come over and meet your future second sister-in-law."
By the time Cui Yueyue came over, Luo Qiao and the rest had already reached the living room. Luo Qiao placed the items she brought on the nearby table, and Geng Mingli chuckled, "Why bring so many things when coming over, don’t bring anything next time."
Luo Qiao smiled slightly, "It’s my first visit, just a little token of appreciation."
At this moment, Cui Yueyue also arrived and said to her mother, "Even if she brings gifts next time, it will be spending second brother’s money, what expense would it be for her?"
The moment Cui Yueyue said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned awkward. Geng Mingli slapped her on the back, "What nonsense are you talking, apologize."
Cui Yueyue winced in pain, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
Lu Yichen said coldly, "Apologize."
Cui Yueyue, a bit afraid of Lu Yichen, still retorted, "I didn’t say anything wrong; she’s just a student, where does she get the money?"
Wang Xiaoxin spoke sternly, "Regardless of who prepared these things, it’s not your place to judge, apologize."
Cui Yueyue, seeing that everyone at home was scolding her, said angrily, "Why should I apologize?"
Luo Qiao’s face turned cold, "Because these gifts were prepared by my family, because not a penny of Lu Yichen was spent on these items, and because of your disrespect and insult towards me just now."
Once Luo Qiao said this, it made Geng Mingli suddenly realize the seriousness of the situation, and she knew the person before her was not to be trifled with.
At this moment, Lu Xinyi also finished work in his upstairs study and came down, noticing the atmosphere in the living room wasn’t right, he asked, "What’s going on?"
Lu Ran, his granddaughter, said, "Aunt Yueryue is bullying second mother."
