The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 191 – That… didn’t sound half bad (2)

Lu Mingzhe looked down and saw Meng Shanshan’s little head.

The little girl was grabbing onto his tee shirt right now and hiding behind him. She looked just like she did when she relied on Meng Yuran.

He suddenly remembered how she looked when she was coquettish in front of her brother. He had been envious of Meng Yuran many times because of that.

Lu Mingzhe reached out his long arm and placed it on Meng Shanshan’s shoulder. He then said in his low, melodious, and clear voice, “Yes, this is my sister.”

Meng Shanshan looked up at him. Her little mouth dropped open a little from surprise.

She saw Lu Mingzhe’s lips curved upward as he said to the other teenager, “Her name is Shanshan.”

Lu Mingzhe had never thought of how proud he’d feel when he introduced Meng Shanshan to others as his sister.

Meanwhile, Lin Yiyi had picked out two pounds of live shrimp, weighted them, and placed them into the shopping cart. She noticed that Boss Lu, who had gone missing earlier, had resurfaced and placed some potatoes and chicken wings into her shopping cart.

He had promised Meng Shanshan that she’d get her French fries and chicken wings. A man must be true to his words!

“I’ve only got a little bit of them. Just make a little bit, please?”

Lin Yiyi’s lips twitched. She felt helpless when faced with his imploration and entreatment. She finally nodded her approval.

Oh well. At least that’d be healthier than having outside food.

Even though she resented fried food nonetheless!

She then went over to the meat section.

Picking out some moderately fatty pork belly, Lin Yiyi glanced over at Lu Xun and said, “Zhe likes braised pork.”

Lu Mingzhe and Meng Yuran were very similar that way.

Both of them liked their meats and both of them liked her braised pork.

Lu Xun joined in to help her pick.

He didn’t say anything when he heard her words.

Finally, after the pork belly had been placed into the shopping cart, he mumbled softly, “I like it too.” His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible unless someone was paying careful attention.

Lin Yiyi looked just like normal when she turned to look at the vegetables.

Yup, she didn’t hear him!

Lu Xun stared quietly at the innocent pork belly.

Pork belly, “?????”

Lin Yiyi, who was already onto broccoli, was in a good mood right now.

She has always known that!

She had cooked for them often enough that she knew all of their preferences.

Both Meng Yuran and Lu Mingzhe liked meat, but the one who liked pork belly the most was this one right next to her.

When Meng Yuran got home, he saw Lu Xun happily following his mother around in the kitchen. And Lu Mingzhe, that jerk, was playing a video game with his sister. Why didn’t that surprise him at all?

“Shanshan!” He called out to his sister, trying to get her attention.

Low and behold, his little sister, who used to come running up to him, only to be pushed away by him, had started to ignore him?

Meng Shanshan was having so much fun that she barely lifted her head when she gave him an “oh” as a response.

Meng Yuran, “..”

So angry!

Meng Yuran pursed his lips and quickly walked toward the stairs with an unhappy look on him.

He even gave harumph softly as he walked past the couch where Lu Mingzhe and Meng Shanshan were sitting.

Meng Shanshan was completely oblivious to that.

When Lu Xun walked out of the kitchen with the food, Meng Shanshan had already smelled it and dragged Lu Mingzhe over there by his hand.

Appearing at the same time was Meng Yuran who was notified by Lin Yiyi that dinner was ready.

As soon as Meng Yuran walked downstairs, the first thing he saw was the ungrateful little girl.

That ungrateful Meng Shanshan was eagerly pouring a drink for Lu Mingzhe. The little girl had short arms and legs and was just now carefully pouring the beverage into a glass. She was doing the best that she could.

She was also whispering to him at the same time that she was pouring. “Big Brother Zhe is so amazing Will you play with me from now on?”

All kids liked electronic products and Meng Shanshan, just like any other kid, also enjoyed video games, but she was still too young and her family rarely let her play. Lu Mingzhe had borrowed his little uncle’s cellphone this time to play with her.

Just like that, Lu Mingzhe had successfully won over the little girl after just two games.

He merely grunted a response, but it was very obvious that he was in a very good mood right now.

Lu Mingzhe, after being happy for a little bit, looked up and saw Meng Yuran sitting across from Shanshan and himself. Meng Yuan was looking at them with his face blackened. His eyes were like two piercing knives pointing at him.
