Although Chen Chunyun smiled warmly on the surface, she didn't actually like Su Qing. After all, her daughter had finally taken a liking to a son-in-law that she approved of, who was from the Lu family. No matter what, she was determined to make them a couple.
"Does Qing Qing have a boyfriend?" she asked.
Su Qing didn't like others prying into her private life, especially from someone she wasn't familiar with. Of course, she understood the implication behind Chen Chunyun's question: to introduce her to a boyfriend so that her daughter could finally be with Lu Xiu as she wished.
If she didn't comply with her wishes?
She shook her head, remaining silent.
Chen Chunyun smiled even more happily, and fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. "Auntie will introduce you. You're so beautiful, I guarantee I'll find you a tall, wealthy, and handsome man."
Lu Xiu's gaze darkened, and he shifted the lighter in his hand closer to Su Qing's side. There was no gap between them now, and any slight movement would lead to their shoulders touching.
Su Qing sensed the movement beside her and turned her head, meeting his deep eyes.
In such an atmosphere, she couldn't say anything. Turning back to Chen Chunyun, she responded, "Tall, wealthy, and handsome?" She continued in the same vein as Chen Chunyun's words.
Seeing Su Qing's hesitation, Chen Chunyun quickly added, "Yes, Auntie knows many eligible men. Their families all own companies." She paused for a few seconds, appraising Su Qing, and then asked, "What does your family do?"
Su Qing's hand on her knee twitched. She didn't have anything to hide, but Su Haiguo quickly interjected, "You don't need to worry about their affairs."
"What do you know?" Chen Chunyun frowned and looked at Su Haiguo with displeasure, then turned back to Su Qing and said, "Men like them are all the same. When they can't find a wife, they think women will come to them automatically."
Watching her speak with relish, Su Qing found it difficult to interject. Chen Chunyun finally returned to the original topic, "Oh, let's exchange WeChat. I'll introduce them to you, and I'll inform their mothers later."
Her attitude seemed to suggest that she wouldn't accept refusal. Su Qing didn't take out her phone. Instead, she said, "No need, Auntie. I can't possibly match up to them."
"You won't know until you try. Hurry up and add my WeChat."
Su Qing didn't react to her words. Lu Xiu made a few impatient clicks with the lighter in his hand. He obviously lacked patience now.
"What are you thinking? She doesn't even like me, what are they worth?" His voice was slightly hoarse and carried a hint of impatience on his exquisite face.
Chen Yun was a bit startled. She had been well-protected since childhood, and no boy had ever spoken to her like this, let alone his mother.
Chen Chunyun was also taken aback. She knew the temperament of the young master of the Lu family, so she had to ease the atmosphere. "You're right, let's forget about them. They still need to work harder to meet our standards." This statement was completely different from what she had said earlier, and her tone softened accordingly.
She didn't mention the matter again. Song Yunchen and Jiang Yuanzhou came in from outside. Seeing the people sitting on the sofa, Song Yunchen asked, "You guys are here so early."
Chen Chunyun saw them and said, "Then you guys go play. Chen Yun, take good care of your friends."
Chen Yun nodded.
Several people went to the hall a few meters away. The ceiling on the ceiling seemed particularly eye-catching. When everyone was present, the door and windows were closed, and the heat emanated, enveloping everyone in the house.
Chen Yun's several good girlfriends saw her coming over, smiles on their faces. A glimpse of her handsome man beside her surprised them.
They pulled Chen Yun aside, with a pleasing smile on their faces. "Yun Yun, did you really invite Lu Xiu? You're amazing."
"Yeah, even Lu Xiu came. I thought you were joking. By the way, what's your relationship with him? You didn't say last time. Now that everyone is here for your birthday, you have to tell us, right?"
Chen Yun looked a little shy, which seemed to others like she was being asked about her feelings. It was almost figured out.
With a slightly suspicious blush on her face, she gently patted the woman next to her and said, "Guess."
These two words undoubtedly meant that they were together in their eyes.
"Really together? Oh my god, is it true or not? You can do it."
"I envy you so much. But you knew each other before, so I'm not that surprised that you're together now."
Chen Yun felt very proud seeing their expressions, but she didn't intend to tell them the truth, enjoying the happiness they brought to her.
"Don't tell anyone." Chen Yun whispered with her head down.
The few of them glanced at each other and nodded: "Okay, we understand."
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Xiu from time to time, then at the girl next to him. Lu Xiu's eyes showed an undisguised emotion, following her petite face. He had a smile on his lips, but the girl frowned as if she didn't want to talk to him.
"Oh, who is the girl next to him? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Yeah, why is she so close to your boyfriend? Doesn't she know your relationship?"
Chen Yun pursed her lips and felt a little guilty watching the annoying scene. "Maybe she doesn't know. I just met her, and her family isn't wealthy. I invited her."
She immediately put on a pitiful expression, as if she had done something great.
"You're so kind, inviting her over for your birthday even though you just met her. And she's trying to seduce your boyfriend. If it were me, I would definitely embarrass her publicly."
"Me too. Look at her pretending to be high and mighty. How can Lu Xiu still talk to her? Yun Yun, go and call him over quickly. Don't let him stay with that flower vase."
Chen Yun paused for a moment, withdrew her gaze, and smiled apologetically, "I won't. They're still chatting. I'll call him over after they finish."
A girl fumed, "You're giving her too much face. By doing this, you're encouraging her to overstep her bounds even more. Look at her, she's practically glued to Lu Xiu."
"Yeah, I thought her family was wealthy. Turns out, she's so poor she has to seduce men. I wonder how a woman like her managed to survive until now."
Chen Yun smiled faintly, showing her understanding nature. "Don't say that."
"Oh, what gift did Lu Xiu give you? I'm dying to see. Maybe he'll give you a suite directly. I can't wait." The woman wore an envious expression.
Feeling uneasy, Chen Yun stammered, "He hasn't given it to me yet."
"Maybe he wants to surprise you. It must be very romantic."
