Chapter 373: She Was Busy
Seeing Chu Hongqing and Chu Sihan coming together, a nanny hurried in to report to Matriarch Chu.
When Matriarch Chu heard that Chu Sihan and Chu Hongqing were here, she hurriedly got someone to invite them in.
When she saw Chu Sihan, Chu Hongqing, and Chu Silin, Matriarch Chu was originally very happy.
However, when she saw Mdm Jiang and Shangguan Linger behind them, her smile disappeared immediately.
Because of Aunt Jiang, she did not like Mdm Jiang much.
“Linger is here.”
When Mdm Chu saw Shangguan Linger entering with Chu Sihan, her eyes lit up.
When Mdm Jiang saw Mdm Chu’s expression, she knew that she had misunderstood something. Her lips curled up imperceptibly.
However, she did not say anything.
Shangguan Linger first bowed to Matriarch Chu. When she heard Mdm Chu call her, she hurriedly bowed to Mdm Chu.
Seeing her polite and distant attitude, Mdm Chu was a little puzzled.
Ever since Matriarch Chu saw Shangguan Linger, she became suspicious.
She also thought that Chu Sihan allowed Shangguan Linger to come over. She glanced at Chu Sihan with a complicated gaze.
“Take a seat.”
She sat down and gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Everyone waited for Chu Sihan to take his seat before taking their seats.
Seeing Shangguan Linger sitting beside Chu Silin, Mdm Chu frowned subconsciously.
“You came back at the wrong time. Your father just left this morning. He said he was going to Snowfall Villa and would only be back a few days later.”
Matriarch Chu looked at Chu Sihan and smiled.
“It’s alright. I won’t be leaving so soon.”
“That’s good!”
Matriarch Chu chuckled.
Mdm Chu retracted her gaze from Shangguan Linger and asked Chu Sihan, “How long will Han Er stay for this time?”
“It depends. If nothing goes wrong, it should be half a month.”
Chu Sihan’s voice was still faint.
Matriarch Chu summoned a nanny and said softly, “Let the kitchen prepare the dishes.”
“Yes!”
The nanny bowed slightly and strode away.
“Hongqing, why did you have the time to come over today?”
As Chu Hongqing had to deal with business matters with Chu Hongzhong, he was also very busy. It was rare to see him usually.
“There’s something big that I want to ask Mother for her advice on.”
Chu Hongqing smiled at Chu Silin and Shangguan Linger.
Matriarch Chu nodded slightly. “I wonder what major matter it is?”
Mdm Jiang glanced at her husband and smiled faintly. “Let’s eat first and talk later.”
When Chu Hongqing heard that, he hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, there’s no hurry. Let’s talk about this later.”
Matriarch Chu looked suspiciously at the couple, but did not ask further.
Chu Sihan lowered his eyes and did not speak.
“Han Er, I heard that the Lu Mansion moved to the vicinity of our mansion. Is that true?”
While the servant was serving the dishes, Matriarch Chu asked Chu Sihan in a low voice.
Shangguan Linger’s expression paused and she pursed her lips silently.
“Yes.”
Chu Sihan picked up the bowls and scooped a bowl of soup for Mdm Chu and Matriarch Chu respectively.
Matriarch Chu received the bowl of soup and smiled in relief.
“Then why didn’t you invite Miss Lu over for dinner too?”
Chu Sihan said coldly, “She’s busy. Next time.”
He did not want the girl to attend such a heavy dinner party.
“I heard that she’s a girl from a nearby village? Has Matriarch seen her before?”
Mdm Jiang had never seen Lu Sheng before. She did not know how she looked like or anything about her personality. She only knew that her name was Lu Sheng and she was from Liu Yue Village.
However, Matriarch Chu seemed to have seen Lu Sheng before and was very satisfied.
