She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 297 - 296: Her Husband Married Her While Waiting for Another to Transmigrate (8)
"Stay for dinner before you go." Bai Huimei said, "I’ve already arranged for the cook to prepare your favorite dishes."
"If you really don’t want to stay, it’s okay." She added, because the Lu Family’s dinner seemed too quiet and the atmosphere wasn’t good.
This afternoon was pleasant, at least she and her daughter rarely experienced such harmony.
To the extent that it made her forget, the dining table at the Lu Family was quiet, without the warm atmosphere of a family meal, which was distressing.
However, Lu Mingxue liked the harmonious look of a family, also liked dining together; as long as the family didn’t have other matters or unavoidable social dinners, they had to come back for dinner.
Ah Chen sensed Bai Huimei’s sadness and unease, holding her hand: "Okay, it’s been a month since I last had dinner with mom."
Bai Huimei’s eyes welled up with warmth, her daughter’s understanding made her even more upset.
"If you truly can’t continue, you must tell mom, and mom will do her best to help you fight."
Of course, she knew that marriages in wealthy families weren’t that simple, especially as she was at a disadvantage, and her daughter was also at a disadvantage, involving the interests of both families. Ordinary people’s marriages were so complicated, let alone here.
"Okay, mom don’t worry, no one can bully me." Ah Chen comforted.
She was telling the truth.
Obviously, Bai Huimei only took this as comforting words for her.
For now, there was no other way, Bai Huimei could only temporarily not think about those things.
"I filmed a video of you crocheting a scarf before, can I post it online?" Ah Chen asked, "It doesn’t show your face."
Bai Huimei smiled and said, "Go ahead and post it."
Nowadays, some wealthy women like to share such things, she’s not some old fogey, she also surfs the internet occasionally, learning some of her skills online and then compiling her own experiences.
Actually, she didn’t care about showing her face or not, but considering her status as Lu Mingxue’s wife, it was better not to show her face.
After watching the edited video by Ah Chen, she thought there was no problem, indeed not a glimpse of her face was seen.
The video was meticulously made, watching herself crochet scarves, she found herself somewhat mesmerized.
In fact, she also followed her daughter’s account, this was her daughter after all, how could she not follow? Her daughter’s previous posts were mostly about showcasing the rich and lavish lifestyle and flaunting. The same account with nothing hidden from before, openly displayed.
She had seen those videos, had heard some voices regarding them, many commented that Bai Chen was too ostentatious.
She never thought that one day her video could be shared by her daughter.
She felt happy.
Ah Chen posted the video, and paired it with text: "Mom is crocheting a scarf, mine is red, hasn’t started yet."
The video had just been posted for a while when fans following this account started leaving comments.
The account name was: "Miss Bai."
When she first saw this nickname, Ah Chen felt its meaning for a moment, not clear whether the commissioner was branding themselves as a princess, or genuinely hoped she was a Miss of the Bai Family?
In fact, she probably didn’t hate this surname.
Lemon with Ice: Eh, the young lady’s video style is very different today, no more showing off your luxurious items?
Don’t Want to Study: Am I the first? Oh, no, just finished my homework, I quite like today’s video, very relaxing.
Leisurely Great White Shark: Mom’s knitting skill is really impressive, just from these hands, you can tell she must be very beautiful and elegant. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Mr. Liu: Rich people also crochet their scarves? I thought they all bought big brands.
Little Pig Loves to Sleep: I want a scarf like this! So exquisitely crocheted. But honestly, I want to ask if mom’s scarf is for sale?
Ah Chen responded: "Of course not for sale, I don’t even have mine, why would it be your turn, go ask your mom to crochet for you."
Little Pig Loves to Sleep: Boohoo.
Name Too Hard to Choose: I see, are you planning to sell things?
Ah Chen replied: "If that day really comes, remember to support!"
Name Too Hard to Choose: How am I supposed to retort? Fine, I’ll support, let’s see when you sell stuff, if it’s no good I won’t buy.
For some reason, really want to know what she plans to sell.
"Mom, look, many people praise your beautifully knitted scarves, and even want to buy them." Ah Chen opened the comments, showing Bai Huimei those praising her.
Though some comments were mocking, no one really said anything about Bai Huimei’s skill.
From the beginning, she knew Bai Huimei’s craftsmanship was good.
Bai Huimei was momentarily stunned seeing those words of praise, never expected to be complimented like this, just through the text, she could feel the sincerity of the compliments.
Sincerity or not, many times you can see it at a glance.
A special feeling surged in her heart, indescribable in words.
Bai Huimei stared at the screen for a long time before finally moving her gaze away.
She decided to go to the kitchen to make some pastries. It was rare for her daughter to come home for a meal, so she wanted to make something her daughter liked.
Ah Chen didn’t refuse, holding her phone to record the process and then handed it over to 997 for editing. Editing was time-consuming, so it was great to have 997 do it for free. 997 was extremely happy to be given the editing task. Many times, he felt like a useless system, so being able to help the host made him very happy!
When dinner was almost ready, Lu Mingxue and Lu Fengqiu returned.
Seeing Ah Chen back, both of them were taken aback, especially seeing the intimate interaction between Ah Chen and Bai Huimei in the living room, which seemed surreal.
Lu Mingxue smiled and asked, "Chenchen, how come you’re back?"
While observing her expression, he asked again, "Where’s Xiao Ran? Didn’t he come with you?"
Seeing no unpleasant expression on her face, Lu Mingxue was even more puzzled; he thought she might have come back to complain about some grievances.
The stepdaughter’s temperament was not particularly good, but she behaved quite well in front of him. As long as she didn’t do anything outrageous, considering Huimei, he wouldn’t treat her unfairly.
He had arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Yu Family’s situation. Seeing that Bai Chen didn’t cause any trouble and was quite well-behaved, he thought she must be satisfied, married, found someone she liked, and settled down, which was a relief.
If it weren’t for Bai Chen insisting on this marriage agreement, he wouldn’t have had the intention. No matter the benefits of cooperating with the Yu Family, he wouldn’t let his stepdaughter fulfill this marriage agreement.
Since she was willing, it might be a good thing.
Huimei wasn’t very supportive of this, but couldn’t go against her stepdaughter’s will, so she agreed.
"Dad."
"Big Brother."
"Xiao Ran is quite busy. He’ll come back to visit you when he’s free."
"Today, I just suddenly missed Mom," Ah Chen said.
Seeing her so quiet and speaking appropriately, Lu Mingxue felt pleased; she really seemed to have matured.
"Alright then, let’s eat together," he said. "If you ever feel wronged, come back and talk about it; don’t keep it in your heart."
Even though she was just his stepdaughter, not just anyone could bully her.
Then Lu Fengqiu said, "If there’s really no feeling, it’s okay to get a divorce. I don’t think Yu Xiaoran genuinely likes you."
As soon as he said this, Bai Huimei and Lu Mingxue looked at him in surprise.
Lu Fengqiu was usually the silent type; at work, he spoke a lot and had no problems communicating with clients. He was even good at putting on a show, but as soon as he got home, it was as if he lost his ability to speak.
It was rare to hear him say such a long sentence at home, especially advising divorce.
Bai Huimei was puzzled; could it be that the Lu brothers actually cared about Chenchen?
Lu Mingxue was also thinking about it. Did the eldest care about this stepsister? Wasn’t he always distant and aloof with her since childhood?
Ah Chen knew what was going on; this person had also been reborn, as she had suspected before.
The dinner table was rare in its harmony, with everyone expressing that if Ah Chen was bullied, the Lu Family would back her up. Anyone unaware would likely be touched by this.
After dinner, a soft drizzle started outside.
Bai Huimei was about to suggest staying over, but Ah Chen received a call from the driver: "Madam, are you ready? President Yu just called to ask when you’ll be back."
Bai Huimei heard some of the conversation and refrained from speaking further.
It hadn’t reached the point of urging her daughter and Yu Xiaoran to develop feelings for each other naturally.
"Right away," Ah Chen said.
She didn’t plan on staying there.
"I’ll see her to the car," Lu Fengqiu said, holding an umbrella. Lu Wangqiu glanced at him but didn’t follow, his heart in turmoil. How come his brother was also reborn? What was happening in this world?
"What I said earlier is true. If you want to get a divorce, then get a divorce," Lu Fengqiu stood outside the car door and followed Ah Chen into the car, showing no concern for the driver.
Ah Chen sat inside the car, smiling at him, "Okay."
By the time she returned to the Yu Family, it was already dark.
The helpers had been waiting outside with umbrellas. As Ah Chen got out of the car, something suddenly fell from the sky, landing precisely in her handbag, startling those around her.
Ah Chen opened her bag and saw two round eyes inside. She reached inside, casually crushed the little mirror, and took out a shard of glass.
She handed the shard to the helper, "Dispose of it, please. I don’t know where it came from."
"Luckily, it fell into the bag."
"How dangerous!"
