Chapter 27: Unexpected Guests ( 1 )
Seeing Han Yuluo like this, Han Yuheng sighed, and said, "You'd better stop thinking about her and move on. She already belongs to someone else, it's impossible for the two of you."
Han Yuluo lowered his eyes and said, "I know."
Although he knew in his heart that there was no possibility between them, he was still unwilling. Why can Li Chenmo marry her? He was the first person who met her, the first person who liked her, and the one she liked. If it wasn't for that incident, she wouldn't be forced to marry Li Chenmo. If her marriage was canceled, would he still have a chance to marry her?
Once this idea appeared, it was difficult for Han Yuluo to suppress it. He would ask her if she would like to be with him. As long as she is willing, he will try his best to cancel her marriage and snatch her away.
Not knowing that someone was thinking about canceling her marriage, Lu Jueyu returned home and entered her own space.
In her space, Lu Jueyu went to the warehouse to select ingredients for making meat sauce, sausage, beef jerky, and biscuits. Because they are going into the county town tomorrow, she needs to prepare some food in case they get hungry on the way.
The meat sauce is delicious and can be served with steamed buns. As for beef jerky and biscuits, although they are not as filling as steamed buns, they can also pad their stomachs while on the road. Seeing the appetite of Li Chenmo and Father Li, she decided to cook more.
She stayed in space for a long time before coming out. When she came out, she glanced out the window and realized that it was almost time for lunch. She went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients from her space, and started cooking. She wanted to eat tomato beef noodles, so she started making soup.
While the soup was cooking, Lu Jueyu made the noodles. Her mom makes this for her every winter. So, when she misses her mom, she makes this dish every once in a while. Now, she will never see her mom again and can only remember her through this dish.
Before she knew it, she was making too many noodles while recalling the memories with her mom. Looking at the noodles in front of her, she chuckled lightly. She put more than half of the noodles in her space and left enough servings for her family. When the soup was ready, she saved more than half of it for Li Chenmo, Father Li and her brothers.
She made lunch in less than an hour. As soon as the noodles were brought to the living room, Lu Han and Lu Cheng had already returned.
"Brother, you're back. Go wash your hands and have lunch." Lu Jueyu said while putting the bowl on the table.
After placing the cutlery, noodles, and pot of soup, she knocked on her parents' door and said, "Mother, Father, lunch is ready."
Before long, they were sitting around the table having lunch. Seeing beef, eggs and vegetables on the noodles, Mother Lu finally asked, "Yuyu, did Chenmo give you money to buy meat and eggs again?"
"En, he has already given me all of his money." She nodded.
Hearing her casual tone, Mother Lu was silent for a while, and then said, "Yuyu, although he gave you all the money, you shouldn't spend it on our house like this. Just buy enough food for him and Lao Li. If people know that we have been eating meat and eggs that were bought using his money, it will not be good for your reputation."
Before Lu Jueyu could speak, Wang Muxiao interrupted her and said, "Mother, how can you say that? Didn't we just agree to let them get married before the Chinese New Year? In less than a week, he will become your son-in-law. It is his filial piety to buy some meat for you."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard her words. Mother Lu had already planned to tell Lu Jueyu tonight, so she was angry when she heard what her second daughter-in-law said. They knew that Lu Jueyu fell in love with another man, and she was unwilling to marry Li Chenmo. In the past two years, she often quarreled with her family because of her engagement with Li Chenmo.
In order to move the marriage forward, Father Li took a lot of effort to persuade them. They knew that if she knew about it, she would refuse. Therefore, Mother Lu has prepared a speech and plans to chat with her tonight. However, her efforts were ruined suddenly in this way.
Seeing the shock on Lu Jueyu's face, Wang Muxiao realized that she had said something wrong. So, she didn't dare to say anything more and lowered her head. Mother Lu glared at Wang Muxiao, then turned to Lu Jueyu and said, "Yuyu, Lao Li came yesterday and proposed to advance the wedding date. They are worried that if you keep going back and forth in the cold weather, you will get sick again."
Lu Jueyu said nothing and nodded. She already knew about this, but she didn't expect them to choose next week. What's more, she was speechless as her family really believed that lame excuse.
What Lu Jueyu didn't know was that her family knew that Li's father's excuse was nonsense. However, they also thought that Han Yuluo had come back for holiday and they were worried that she would do something that would damage the reputation of the Lu family and the Li family. Therefore, they decided to let her marry Li Chenmo as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
"Yuyu ah, just say what you want to say. Don't keep it in your heart." Mother Lu added worriedly.
Lu Jueyu looked at her family and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm just surprised. Brother Chenmo has already told me about this, and I agree with him. It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
