✔The Villain And The Cannon Fodder's Mother (Book 1)

(192) One Would Think That Lu Mingzhe Had Stolen His Wife From Him

That night, after sending away the two gods of plague, Meng Yuran decided that his sister needed more “educating”. Not only should she not walk away with any strangers or talk to any strangers, as a girl, she’d also need to watch out for those around her with ulterior motives, especially men. That went for boys too!

Meng Shanshan looked baffled. Cocking her head, she asked dubiously, “Does that include Big Brother too?”

“Except for me!” Meng Yuran’s face darkened some more.

Big Brother was so scary! Meng Shanshan took a step back with Silly Dog in her arms.

“But isn’t Big Brother a boy too?”

Meng Yuran, who was being questioned, “……”

His sister was so stupid. Hopelessly so!

For the sake of not letting the shameless Lu Mingzhe earn more brownie points with his sister, Meng Yuran brought his sister with him when he left the house the next day.

The little girl wasn’t happy about it. “I’ve already promised Uncle Lu to go fishing today.”

She was about to start drooling when she thought about the barbequed fish. Bummer, she wouldn’t be able to have any today.

“What’s so fun about going fishing? Didn’t you want to play video games? I’ll let you play on my cellphone later.”

Okay, as she could play video games, she could forgive her big brother this one time. Just like that, little kiddo Meng Shanshan got the cellphone that she wanted.

Meng Yuran’s little buddies had begged him on their knees to bring his homework over for them to copy the day before.

The National Holiday was half over, and the three of them had not even written a word yet. All of them were waiting for the mercy of the curve wrecker.

Meng Yuran brought Meng Shanshan with him to Xu Jie’s place.

Meng Shanshan had a look of innocence on her when she was surrounded by five others.

The five others included Xu Jie’s mother and sister.

“She is Little Yuran’s sister. She is too cute!!” That was Xu Lin, Xu Jie’s college sister. She was right now looking at the little girl with her chin resting on her palms, stunned by cuteness overload.

Her mother couldn’t resist Meng Shanshan’s cuteness either. “Would you like something to eat, Shanshan? How about some desserts?”

Meng Shanshan broke into a smile as soon as she heard that there would be food. “Thank you, Aunty!”

She was cute and polite…

The lady, after being thanked, immediately turned around, kicked his son on his butt, and said, “Well, bring the guests some tasty food, sheesh!”

Compared to someone else’s two children, she felt like she had two plants!

Ahem!

Xu Jie, who had suddenly become the object of discontent, “……”

Why did he feel that he was no longer the object of affection?

“Have you ever been the object of affection?” That came from Xu Lin, his real sister, who was mocking him coldly with her arms crossed in front of her.

Finally, after getting all three females out of his bedroom, he asked Meng Yuran in a low voice, “Why did you bring your sister with you?”

Having to live under the tyranny of the two females in his household, he already wanted to avoid all things female. They were too scary!

Such was the kind of fear that one experienced when one was under the control of the opposite gender.

Meng Yuran casted him a glance. “Do you still want to copy this or not?”

He was holding his completed homework assignments that he had just pulled out of his backpack.

“Yes, yes, yes, of course!” Li Yuebin snatched one of them from him and said, without even looking up, “Your sister is quite cute. After my dad saw her last time, he said had he known better he’d have a daughter instead.”

Hah, as if he has a say over that!

And he was resentful toward his own son?!

As much as he was resentful toward his foolish little sister, Meng Yuran was still happy when he heard others praising her. He tried hard to maintain the calm look on his face.

Jie Ning was the only one who caught a glimpse of what was going on and asked him in a low voice, “Who didn’t you want her to see? Your stepdad?”

What he got in return was Meng Yuran’s cold look.

“I don’t have a stepdad.”

The Lu guy only wished that he was his stepdad.

He must be joking.

Jie Ning merely smiled. “Li Yuebin had told me already, your step…”

Meeting the curve wrecker’s icy look, he quickly corrected himself, “That man seemed to be somewhat decent. He owns his own company and is also quite good looking. Is that not true?”

Meng Yuran, “……”

He didn’t want to dignify that with a response!

“Oh, young man. Don’t be so stubborn. Your family’s happiness is the most important thing of all.”

----------------------

Lin Yiyi sneezed loudly the second she opened the door.

“Did you catch a cold?” Lu Xun frowned.

Lin Yiyi moved to her side to allow Lu Xun to go inside the house.

“My nose itches a little. Someone must be talking about me behind my back!”

Lu Mingzhe looked around the living room, then the staircase, then he looked down as though he was pondering about something.

Lin Yiyi noticed it quickly and explained to him. “Little Yuran went over to a classmate’s place to do his homework and he took Shanshan with him.”

Lin Yiyi had also noticed that Lu Mingzhe seemed to have a better relationship with Meng Shanshan. Opposite must attract. She shrugged.

She had no idea what was going on between the two adolescent boys. They acted like they were born with distaste for each other.

They never even had a chance to get to know each other; they simply didn’t get along.

“Oh, I see. Yesterday Shanshan had said that she’d go fishing with me today and now she was gone.” Lu Xun tsked.

He felt that he had been abandoned by the little girl.

Lu Mingzhe thought “oh, I see” to himself as well.

With the way Meng Yuran had looked at him yesterday, one would think that Lu Mingzhe had stolen his wife from him.
