Chapter 445: The Old Blame-Shifter
Chapter 445: The Old Blame-Shifter
For a rich lady who was born into a life of luxury, Fu Ling thought it was great that she could now think about being independent and not being someone else's appendage.
Facing Fu Manhan's gratified eyes, Su Tian realized that her little thoughts had been seen through at a glance, and she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
In Fu Ling's opinion, Su Tian is very malleable. In the past few years, despite many provocations and difficulties from her stepmother and Su Lei, she has been able to remain calm, which is enough to prove that she is determined. With more training and trials, she will definitely be a good business partner.
The sound of Ruyi's abacus clacking in the air bounced onto Su Tian's face, and she felt that Fu Ling's smile had a deeper meaning.
Not long after, Lu's mother and Fu's mother appeared together.
The Lu residence is the most lively during mealtimes, when everyone gathers together and they all get along so well that they look like a family.
"Yiyi, Tiantian, it's been a while since I last saw you. Remember to come often in the future."
"Aunt Lu, we will have more opportunities to meet soon." Xiang Yi smiled mysteriously.
"Really? That's great! You kids should eat more. School is different from home." Mother Lu misunderstood that Xiangyi was going to live at home.
After Jiang Yan came back from the island country, he gave Xiang Yi a big surprise. He was even rich enough to plan to buy a bigger house. The two families had a close relationship, and if they could live close to each other, they could visit each other more often.
Fortunately, the courtyard house next to Fu Ling is for sale. The houses in this area are all large and there is no interaction between the neighbors, so until now no one in the Lu family knows that the owner next door has changed. Xiang Yi plans to notify everyone after the renovation is completed to give everyone a surprise, even Xiang's mother will not know.
After Xiangyi left, the night was long and Su Tian was too excited to sleep, so she pulled Kong Ci, Xiang's mother and Lu's mother to play mahjong.
Everyone who has played mahjong knows that beginners have an inexplicable attraction to it, and Su Tian is no exception. Even though she keeps losing, it never discourages her enthusiasm.
After losing another round, she felt regretful but not discouraged: "Let's try again! I feel very strong now. I will definitely beat you next time."
At this moment, her face was covered with turtles, each representing her negative record.
Fu Ma looked at Su Tian's face and laughed: "Tiantian, are you sure you still want to come? You can't put on any more on your face."
"It's okay. Even if my face is covered with it, I can still paint on my hands. I don't believe it today. Can't I win at all? I don't accept it."
"Do you know where you lost?" Kong Ci said with a smile.
"Isn't it because you are so awesome?" Su Tian asked back in confusion.
"Of course not. I haven't played that often, actually. I'm considered a beginner. At first, I was in the same situation as you. I just wanted to win big. Big wins are very dependent on luck, especially when playing with an expert like Fu Ling. You might intercept me before I'm ready."
"Ah? Is that so?" She scratched her head and then looked at Fu Ling's flawless face. Suddenly, she felt that this was the case. She said angrily, "Ling Ling, you're going too far!"
"Haha, where do you get that from? I was playing cards normally, and I didn't cheat. Don't accuse a good person." Fu Ling's main point was to deny everything.
It was Su Tian who didn't know how to pretend. Every time she got a card she wanted, she would be overjoyed. It was hard for her not to know.
"It just means your skills aren't good enough. You need more practice... I'm not going to play for another two rounds, it's time to go to bed."
"No, that's not the end. Let's play a few more games."
"Mom and the others have things to do tomorrow, so they need to get more rest."
Su Tian just remembered it and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot about this."
"It's okay. It's okay to sleep a little late occasionally. It's a rare opportunity to relax today. It's okay. Let's play a few more games." Mother Lu said with a smile.
Fu Ma also agreed: "Yes, today is a rare happy day, it's better to wait until later."
Seeing that both of them had no objection, Fu Ling didn't say anything else. It was not until after 12 o'clock in the evening that everyone dispersed.
In the end, Fu Ling happily received a turtle, Kong Ci received seven, Fu Ma received four, Lu Mu received five... and Su Tian's face was covered with so many that she couldn't count them all, and some were even stacked on top of each other.
Fu Ling brought a mirror for her to admire her face. When she saw her face was completely black, she wanted to cry but had no tears. However, she could not lose her momentum. Su Tian said fiercely: "Wait, things will change over time. Don't laugh at beginners. We have a long way to go. Next time, I will definitely kill you without a single piece of armor left."
"Haha, I hope that by then your strength will be as strong as it is now." Fu Ling retorted.
"Tiantian, I believe in you, keep going!" Kong Ci patted her shoulder to show encouragement.
After laughing and joking for a while, they dispersed and returned to their rooms. Only then did she have time to take out her cell phone.
Seeing that there were several unread messages, the corners of my mouth rose unconsciously and I replied to him.
He laughed, entered the boundary bead, took a quick shower, and fell asleep in bed soon after.
(Wife, have you come home? I miss you!)
(Jingnan has been challenging me to sparring these past few days, but he hasn't mentioned that incident again. It's just that he's getting a little annoyed by me sparring with him every day.)
(Wife, why are you ignoring me...)
(young married woman···)
The last message was sent at ten o'clock in the evening, and I could feel his grievance from the message.
I didn't get up until after ten in the morning and was eating something I didn't know whether it was breakfast or dinner.
"Lingling, you got up too late. Yiyi has been here for a long time." Su Tian didn't expect Fu Ling to sleep so well. She never slept in at home. No matter how late she went to bed, she would get up on time early in the morning. Otherwise, she didn't know what her stepmother would do to her. It had already become her biological clock.
"Sorry, sorry, I stayed up too late last night and accidentally overslept."
Fu Ling's habit of staying in bed has not changed. Usually, as long as she has nothing to do, she will sleep until she wakes up naturally. Xiang Yi has long been accustomed to it.
"Hey, why didn't you guys wake me up?" He was obviously an old blame-shifter.
"Is it my fault?" Xiangyi crossed her arms, her main point being that she would not indulge him.
"Have you decided where to go today?" Fu Ling glanced at Xiang Yi and immediately changed the subject.
I asked while slowly drinking the seafood porridge I made this morning.
"Let's go hang out at Aunt Fu's place first, then go to the photo studio to take some pictures. We'll have a meal out at noon. I've already thought of the afternoon itinerary. Let's go shopping. We're going to visit Brother Xiang's house tomorrow, so we can do some shopping and then watch a movie."
"Hehe, getting money from my stepmother is harder than the sun rising from the west. It would be a waste if I don't spend it." This is a clear arrangement of the day's itinerary.
"Who's going?"
"Xiaoci, Yiyi, Wanning, you and me, just the five of us, we're going to have a great time today."
Fu Ling had no objection after hearing this. Today was a gathering for adults, and they tacitly agreed not to bring their children.
Facing Su Tian's piercing gaze, she didn't order another bowl and put it down reluctantly.
