Chapter 44: Delivery
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The first night Meng Chuyuan stayed in the Lu Residence, she had a terrible experience.
She was an art student and was very sensitive to colors. When she asked Lu Qianling if she was sure that she would be allowed to live here, she had actually thought about making do with it.
Meng Chuyuan really couldn’t bring herself to like the color of the bedroom.
The first time she entered the room, she felt that it was very depressing. Because of this issue, she couldn’t sleep all night.
She held on until three in the morning, but she really could not fall asleep. She kept flipping around and felt herself getting more and more impetuous. In the end, she turned on the lights. Having given up on the idea of sleeping, she started using her phone.
The next day, a delivery truck stopped at the Lu residence.
Lu Qianling just came back from school and saw a large truck parked in her courtyard. People in work clothes were unloading the goods in the truck and carefully moving the clothes and packages down.
Lu Qianling pointed at the truck in front of her and asked the housekeeper at the side, “Uncle Chen, what’s going on?”
The butler said, “They’re here to deliver a package to Young Madam.”
Lu Qianling frowned. She usually shopped online, but she had never seen such a stupendous scene. They even drove a truck directly to her house to deliver a package.
Half an hour later, Lu Qianling came downstairs and found that the delivery man had not left yet.
She poured some water, put down the cup, and walked out curiously. She said to the delivery man, who was still busy, “Are you guys not done yet?”
The delivery man put down his things and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. “No.’
Lu Qianling thought that they were unloading so many packages from the truck because there were too many of them in the car, making it hard for them to find the ones to be delivered. “Do you guys deliver packages so ostentatiously nowadays? Drive a truck to deliver them from door to door?”
“It’s not that we’re being ostentatious, but Miss Meng has too many delivery items. Moreover, these have all been requested by the shop owners to be delivered to the door.” The delivery man raised his hand and pointed at the remaining large boxes in the truck. “Everything in this truck belongs to Miss
Meng.”
“They’re all hers?”
“Yes, they are.”
When Lu Qianling heard this, her eyes widened in shock. She went forward to check the information on the packages in disbelief. At a glance, it was all under Meng Chuyuan’s name.
At the same time, Lu Qingye, who was overseas, had just finished his work. He placed his hand on the desk and pressed his aching temples.
Suddenly, his phone rang the moment he opened his eyes.
Lu Qingye picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Lu Qianling. He could not help but frown. Although he knew that Lu Qianling was usually very clingy to him, when he was working, she usually would not call him without good reason.
When Lu Qianling called a few days ago, he happened to be in a meeting. After the meeting, he immediately immersed himself into his work again. Then, he forgot to call her back. When he was reminded of the call again, it was already the next day. Lu Qingye guessed that it was not about anything important, so he did not call back.
At this moment, he happened to be free and picked up this call.
Lu Qianling was originally just testing her luck, giving Lu Qingye a call but she did not expect him to pick up. She was so excited that she did not know what to say for a while. “Big Brother…’
Lu Qingye raised his eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”
His voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing Lu Qianling’s enthusiasm.
Being treated coldly, Lu Qianling looked at the pile of packages in front of her. The grievance in her heart immediately bubbled up. “Brother, your wife, that prodigal woman, bought a lot of things. She bought an entire truck-load of clothes and jewelry. There’s no space at home.”
“You went to her place?”
Lu Qianling touched the tip of her nose and felt inexplicably guilty. “No, but she lives with us now.”
She thought that if she told Lu Qingye about this, he would be as angry as she was. Unexpectedly, he simply replied with an “oh”.
Lu Qianling felt that he sounded too indifferent, as if he did not catch the main point of what she had just said, so she repeated herself, “Your wife bought a truck-load of things…’
Before she could finish, Lu Qingye interrupted her. “Okay, I understand. Don’t be rude in the future. She’s your sister-in-law.”
Lu Qianling: ‘
Listening to the silence on the other end, Lu Qingye slowly said, “Is there anything else?”
Lu Qianling still wanted to say something, but when she heard what he said, she could only purse her lips and hold back all the words she wanted to say. “No… no more.”
She felt that Lu Qingve’s mood was a little low. PerhaDs he had encountered some trouble at work. Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Qianling did not dare to disturb him anymore.
After thinking about it, it was very likely that this was the prelude to them hanging up the phone, so Lu Qianling mustered up her courage and asked, “Big Brother, when are you coming back?”
Lu Qingye did not give a precise time. He gave a bureaucratic reply, “I’ll go back after I’m done here.’
“Fine. ”
After hanging up, Lu Qingye put the phone back on the table. He leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the ceiling. Meng Chuyuan’s face suddenly flashed across his mind.
Lu Qianling had just said that she had bought a truck-load of things…
For the past half a month, he had not contacted Meng Chuyuan much. He did not know if she had enough money to spend.
At the thought of this, Lu Qingye suddenly stood up, picked up his phone again, and transferred 20 million yuan to Meng Chuyuan’s card.
Meng Chuyuan was doing her hair treatment outside, humming a tune contentedly as she watched short videos to pass the time. Suddenly, she received a message from the bank.
At first, she thought that it was a spam message. Just as she was about to swipe it away, she noticed the word ‘bank’ from the corner of her eye and a number with several ‘zeros’ behind it. It immediately attracted her attention.
Meng Chuyuan immediately clicked on the message and read it fully. She stared at the string of numbers and counted. “One, ten, a hundred… ten million.”
A total of 20 million!
Although Lu Qingye had given her a credit card when they got their marriage certificate, she did not know how much money was inside. Lu Qingye had only told her to use it whenever she wanted, so she naturally took him up on that offer and used it when she needed to.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, another message popped up on her phone. It was a WeChat message from Lu Qingye: [Have you received the money?]
She was so frightened that her hand trembled and she almost dropped her phone.
. ‘ How rich was her cheap husband?
He had clearly given her a card, but he still wanted to transfer money to her.
Meng Chuyuan: [Got it…]
After the message was sent out, there was no reply. Meng Chuyuan thought about it. She had received 20 million yuan for no apparent reason. The least she could do was give him a response. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy.contemporary romance
Meng Chuyuan flipped through the emoticons for a long time. Finally, she sent him a ‘thank the Lord for his kindness’ GIF. In the end, Lu Qingye only replied with an “mm”.
“Hiss… How aloof.’
However, she liked how generously he sent his money to her.
After receiving the twenty million yuan from Lu Qingye, Meng Chuyuan was in a good mood for the entire day. After finishing her hair treatment, she went for a massage and only went back home after she was tired from playing outside.
When she returned to the Lu residence, Meng Chuyuan looked at the things she had bought last night piled up outside the door. She raised her eyebrows,and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
