Chapter 130: Leeks

“By the way, why are there so many people next door?”

“It seems that the second young master of the Lu family is moving in today.”

“Did you go out with the second young master of the Lu Family just now? Why did he look for You?”

Cheng Ling didn’t know how to answer the question about Lu Qi. She was also confused by Lu Qi asking her to buy furniture with him. If she were to tell Xie Ying about it, Xie Ying would definitely get to the bottom of it.

“He… he asked me to see which vegetables seedlings are better.”

“Young Master Lu also wants to grow vegetables here?”

The image of Lu Qi in Xie Ying’s heart had gradually become more down to earth.

“Maybe he has this idea,” Cheng Ling made up a bunch of nonsense.

“Okay, Grandma, I’m a little sleepy. I got up early this morning. I’ll go back to my room first.”

“You go ahead.”

Xie Ying turned on the TV again after settling a big matter in her mind.

Cheng Ling went back to her room and had a good sleep. She didn’t dream again. When she woke up, it was already evening.

Feeling a little hungry, she touched her stomach.

In a trance, she smelled barbecue. It smelled so good. Could it be that she was too hungry?

Cheng Ling got out of bed and walked to the window. When she looked down, she saw people barbecuing.

The people who helped her plant vegetables in the field this morning had set up a barbecue utensil rack. They were busy preparing for the barbecue.

The charcoal fire smelled very primitive. It forced out the fragrance of the food.

It was windy in the evening. Cheng Ling put on a thin coat and went downstairs.

The living room was dark. Cheng Ling opened the door and found Xie Ying and Mi Duo at the barbeque.

“Ling Ling is awake. I have just thought of waking you up. Come and eat something.”

Xie Ying waved at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling walked over and took a bunch of leeks.

“Grandma, don’t you hate this kind of food? You said that barbeque causes cancer.”

“It’s okay to eat it once in a while. Look, how lively it is today!”

Cheng Ling looked at the scene in front of her. It was indeed very lively.

These bodyguards usually wore formal clothes and looked serious. Now, they were wearing sportswear and looked much younger and relaxed. They were gathering in a group of twos or threes, chatting and laughing.

She glanced around but didn’t see Lu Xiu and Lu Qi. Xie Ying seemed to know what she was thinking and said.

“Old Master Cheng came over just now. He’s talking to the master and the second young master from the Lu family right now. They’re in the villa.”

In the villa…

“I heard that Young Master Lu is having a housewarming today, so I specially came over to congratulate you”

Old Master Cheng saw the Lu family’s car park at the door early in the morning. He knew that the Lu family was here, so he seized the opportunity to quickly come over and bring up the matter of his birthday party.

“Thank you, Old Master Cheng. It’s not really a housewarming.”

“It’s definitely a happy occasion! It’s a great honor for us to have you guys move to our place. In the future, if you need anything, you can come to us. We will do anything at all.”

Lu Qi and Lu Xiu nodded and thanked him politely again.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Old Master Cheng finally revealed his ultimate purpose for coming over.

“It’s my birthday on Monday, the day after tomorrow. I wonder if both of you, Young Master, have time to come over? Xiao Xiao had told me that both of you are busy with work. But now that we live nearby each other, you can come over for a simple meal.”

At that time, Lu Dong was eavesdropping outside the door with Cheng Ling, who was still holding a skewer of leeks in her hands.

“Miss Cheng, we forgot to take out the cumin powder and five-spice powder. Why don’t you go in and get them?”

Now?

Cheng Ling saw the people inside through the crack of the door and shook her head.

“Miss Cheng, please go. Only you have the guts to go in. Without cumin powder, the chicken wings have no flavor at all.”

Cheng Ling had wanted to reject. She did not want to get involved in this mess. However, she did not expect Lu Dong to push her in the next second!

Cheng Ling turned around and glared at Lu Dong.

Her eye expression meant: when I come out, you will know how you die.

Lu Dong closed his eyes to avoid the glare from Cheng Ling.

“Master, I did all this for you. If Miss Cheng wants to settle the score with me, you have to help me.”

The three people inside were shocked by Cheng Ling who suddenly barged in. Old Master Cheng immediately frowned when he saw Cheng Ling enter without knocking.

“Cheng Ling, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so ill-mannered? Didn’t you see Young Master Lu and I are discussing something here?”

“It’s not that I wanted to come in,” Cheng Ling muttered in her heart.

She walked to the dining table and saw the cumin powder and five-spice powder that Lu Dong had mentioned. She held it in her hand and wanted to leave.

Seeing that Cheng Ling didn’t apologize, Old Master Cheng became even angrier. “You’re leaving in this manner?”

Cheng Ling stopped.

“Then… I’ll barbeque some leeks for you?”

Old Master Cheng, “…”
