Chapter 669 Too Popular
In the banquet hall, Lu Muqi squeezed out from a group of ladies from prominent families at the call of his mother Ying Muyun.
His sudden departure made the girls who stayed there look reluctant, but they were all secretly happy.
Their gazes followed Lu Muqi's departure, as if they wanted to keep Lu Muqi a little longer.
Lu Muqi is Ying Muyun's son. Because Xia Shumei and Ying Muyun have a good relationship, Xia Shumei adopted him as her godson.
Lu Muqi is the youngest member of the Lu family and naturally the most favored boy in the family.
In addition, he has been very good at speaking since he was a child, and he has a cheerful and lively personality. Once he opens his mouth, everyone will like him.
Even the other brothers in the Lu family, who have different personalities, would start to pamper him after being praised and coaxed by Lu Muqi.
One proof that Lu Muqi was particularly favored was that he was the only male in the Lu family who did not join the army.
He wanted to try his hand at business and consolidate the Lu family's position among the four major families. The head of the Lu family, Lu Zhenguo, and his other brothers would agree directly.
Although he is still young, he is also talented in business. Now with his help, the Lu family is getting better and better.
However, Lu Muqi has always been spoiled, whether because of the Lu family's military background, or because his brothers and parents all joined the army.
Since he was a child, he had planned to join the army as soon as he reached military age, just like his other brothers, and prepare to gain some experience.
Lu Zhenguo, the head of the Lu family, also strictly stipulated at the beginning that all members of the Lu family must join the army to serve and defend the motherland.
However, after a certain point in time, everyone in the Lu family changed, and even the strictest Lu Zhenguo changed some of his stubborn ideas.
In the end, with everyone's encouragement, Lu Muqi chose to do what he really wanted to do in his heart and did not join the army.
This is why, even though he is the most mischievous and unique one in the Lu family, he doesn't seem spoiled at all and is particularly likable.
At this time, Lu Muqi came to Ying Muyun, greeted his godmother Xia Shumei, and ignored his biological mother's ruthless complaints.
When he saw Xu Zhishan, whom he had just met by chance, his eyes lit up instantly and he walked straight up to Xu Zhishan.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Lu Muqi greeted Xu Zhishan very generously.
His smile is particularly sunny, but not too flattering, especially his eyes are bright and have a hint of wisdom.
Add to that the black suit and leather shoes he was wearing, and the white shirt underneath the black suit.
Lu Muqi looked like a Border Collie wagging its tail at Xu Zhishan.
He is handsome and has very adorable eyes. Anyone who looks into his eyes can't help but look at him again.
There were even some girls, like the ladies from noble families who had just surrounded him, who fell in love with him at first sight.
At this time, Xu Zhishan was stunned for a moment when she faced Lu Muqi's approach.
Then, she quickly realized that the person in front of her was the boy she accidentally bumped into when she came down from the third floor.
She raised her eyes and met Lu Muqi's deep and bright eyes. After staring at him for a while, she quickly looked away.
But the next moment, Xu Zhishan raised her right hand, shook Lu Muqi's raised right hand, and whispered back:
"My name is Xu Zhishan, you can call me Shanshan.
Actually...I saw you when I was a child. I saw you at the house of my aunt, your godmother.
I remember you were still a chubby ball at that time, and you kept saying nice words to comfort your aunt by her bedside.
I didn't expect you to look so different now, so I didn't recognize you on the stairs just now."
Hearing this, Lu Muqi raised his eyebrows and began to try hard to recall something.
Suddenly, he, still holding Xu Zhishan's right hand, took a decisive step forward, looking as if he was thinking very seriously.
While trying to recall whether he had seen Xu Zhishan when he was a child, he said with a hint of uncertainty:
“I was a bit chubby when I was little, and I did visit my godmother Meimei, but… I don’t remember meeting you!
That shouldn't be the case! You're so pretty, you must have been super cute when you were a child, why don't I have any impression of you?
Shanshan, tell me! Were you hiding because you were so cute, afraid of outshining the chubby and cute me back then?
Lu Muqi really didn't think of Xu Zhishan, but he used his own way of speaking to tactfully ease the awkwardness between the two.
Xu Zhishan, who didn't like men deliberately praising her, didn't seem to mind at all.
She even felt a little embarrassed by the praise, lowered her eyes to the floor, and said with a shy smile:
"Hahaha, I'm not that cute~
It's normal that you don't remember, because I only saw you from a distance and you probably didn't notice me.
I was in a hurry to follow my cousin Jing Huan, so I just passed by my aunt's room door quickly."
Seeing Xu Zhishan was embarrassed, Lu Muqi immediately let go of Xu Zhishan's hand and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, that's right!
But what a pity! I didn't get to know you earlier...
But it doesn’t matter! Late fate is more precious, let’s get to know each other from now on! "
At this time, Lu Muqi and Xu Zhishan started chatting naturally, and Li Chuyue on the side was stunned.
Because she found that Xu Zhishan's state when talking to Lu Muqi was not like the usual Xu Zhishan, and it was a bit abnormal.
However, when she thought about the relationship between Xu Zhishan and Su Chenyi yesterday, it seemed to have reached a freezing point.
Thinking of this, Li Chuyue was shocked when she saw Xu Zhishan suddenly looking shy and chatting with boys.
Although she knew that Xu Zhishan was carefree and could let go of many things.
But she thought that Xu Zhishan would not decide to let go of Su Chenyi so quickly, right?
It's only been one night, this... this is a bit too fast...
However, Li Chuyue thought it was a good thing. After all, love is like a tornado, it comes quickly and goes quickly.
But Li Chuyue quickly accepted that Xu Zhishan had left her and was chatting happily with Lu Muqi, while Ying Muyun was very bothered.
Ying Muyun didn't mind Xu Zhishan chatting with her son Lu Muqi, but she was worried that another girl would be bewitched by her son and lose her mind.
She sighed deeply, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and answered Xia Shumei's doubts, saying:
"You don't understand... My son is fine in every way, but it's because of this that I'm so worried...
Even though he takes the initiative to chat up girls and gets along very well with them, he actually doesn't like any of them.
You don’t know how many precious daughters are now bewitched by his sweet words.
Even some of the sisters I know have no other options and have come to me to ask for marriage proposals, asking if I want to marry them!
Ying Muyun was halfway through her speech when she recalled the number of visits she had received during this period. It was so frequent that the door was almost broken down.
She sighed again, then said helplessly and a little angrily:
"Lao Qi and I fell in love early and got married early, so I naturally wouldn't disagree with Xiao Qi getting in touch with a girl early.
It doesn’t matter even if a lot of people come to the house now. After all, it’s not a bad thing for my son to be popular with girls.
But when I asked him if there was any girl he liked among all the girls he'd approached, you know what he said?
He said no! No! Do you think he is going to piss me off to death? "
After Ying Muyun finished speaking, she raised her clenched fist and the muscles in her arm instantly exploded, as if she wanted to beat Lu Muqi up right now.
Xia Shumei was shocked by what Ying Muyun said.
Xia Shumei didn't expect that Lu Muqi was so popular now, to the extent that the girl's family went to propose marriage to him.
But when she saw Lu Muqi's handsome appearance and good personality, she was not surprised.
At this time, Xia Shumei finally understood Ying Muyun and understood why she was so worried and anxious about Lu Muqi having a girlfriend.
She thought Ying Muyun must be worried that more girls would fall in love with Lu Muqi but would not get a response, which would affect those girls.
However, she thought about Ou Jinghuan, who had made her anxious and worried before, and no matter what she said at that time, it was of no use.
Therefore, Xia Shumei, who was also unable to control her own son, could only pat Ying Muyun on the back and comfort her softly:
"You still have to relax. Things like this can't be rushed. You have to let nature take its course."
