upper class foe

In front of Grandpa's house, Pei Xiu helped her take the big suitcase out of the trunk and put it on the ground.

After seeing the movement outside, Rong Shanqing came over and opened the door in person, and said, "The journey went well, how about the two international friends?"

Lu Li was a little puzzled. Grandma wasn't surprised at all that Pei Xiu picked her up, so it meant that grandma was an insider, and it was grandma who asked Pei Xiu to pick her up?

"The two of them settled in the hotel, I'll be back first."

After entering the house, he asked grandma, "Why did you tell Pei Xiu about my return?"

Rong Shanqing frowned: "Why, you are not happy with him picking you up?"

"I don't want him to pick it up."

"immature."

When having dinner, Rong Shanqing said again: "Tomorrow, please invite your two friends to come over for a sit down, and call Pei Xiu by the way, and have a potluck together."

It's fine to invite them, and call Pei Xiu?Lu Li was a little embarrassed: "No more."

"He's an international friend after all, and he takes such good care of you. He took you to see here and there when he was in Beijing. What's wrong with inviting him to dinner?"

Han Qingrui originally liked to be quiet, but now he said uncharacteristically: "Listen to your cousin, one of them is of Chinese descent from Malaysia, and the other is from a family of diplomats in Germany. Although he has German mixed blood, most of them are considered Chinese. Please Why not come and sit at home?"

Lu Li had no choice but to say sullenly, "I'm afraid they will feel unfamiliar and awkward."

"It's because you don't want them to come. The older you are, the less polite you are." Han Qingrui said without allowing anyone to refute. I'm going to pick you up."

In fact, it really doesn't matter to invite them to come over for dinner, but it's the most boring thing to let Pei Xiu get involved.

Lu Li had no choice but to pick up the rice and eat in depression.

He blackmailed Pei Xiu in a fit of anger that day, and now in order to inform him of the reception lunch at noon tomorrow, he had no choice but to let him out.

【At noon tomorrow, the old man will treat you to lunch. 】

He didn't reply directly, but asked with a smile: [Finally willing to let me out? 】

He asked again: [Who else should I invite?Those two international friends? 】

With his cleverness, it is not difficult to deduce it at all.

Lu Li didn't talk to him, but asked: [Then are you coming or not? 】

[In order to celebrate you releasing me from the little dark room, of course I will go. 】

Lu Li snorted: [Don't you need to go to the base?Waste of time here. 】

[E-sports is of course important, but diplomacy is also important. 】

Lu Li turned off his mobile phone and ignored his poor talk.

It was very easy to invite Luo La and Wen Siyu, and they said happily: "It is a great honor to go to your house for lunch."

The next morning, Lu Li went to the hotel to pick them up, talking and laughing on the way back to grandpa and grandma's house.

As soon as the two entered the yard, they greeted each other very generously and calmly.

Wen Siyu said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, we didn't expect to be invited to our house, and we didn't prepare a gift in a hurry. We wanted to buy it on the way, but Lu Li tried his best to stop it."

Rong Shanqing smiled and said: "It's just a casual meal, don't be so polite, if you give gifts, I won't dare to invite you."

Han Qingrui also nodded: "It's better to be casual."

Wen Siyu added: "But I know that tomorrow is Lu Li's birthday, so I brought her a birthday present in advance."

Lu Li was a little surprised: "Birthday gift?"

Wen Siyu nodded: "I chose it the day before I came to Jiangwu, I hope you like it."

He was so thoughtful... Lu Li opened the box and found a necklace with two "L" letters inside.

"LL, what Lu Li means." Wen Siyu said with a smile.

It was the first time Lu Li received a gift made of letters of his name, and said in surprise: "It's so beautiful, so special..."

Luo La also said beside him: "The shape is also very unique, but it's a pity that I don't pay as much attention as him. I will send it to you tomorrow after your birthday."

"You are all so caring..."

Comparing on the neck, Lu Li originally wanted to put it away, but after thinking about it, he simply said: "Since it is such a precious and special gift, of course it must be worn immediately."

After speaking, he went to the second floor, wore this necklace, and picked out a skirt that matched the necklace, which made her look even more beautiful.

Seeing this, Laura thoughtfully took some pictures for her, and said while taking pictures, "It's really pretty."

Downstairs, when Rong Shanqing saw Wen Siyu's exquisite and handsome appearance, he praised him again and again, and now he finally had time to ask: "Si Yu, I heard that you have a quarter of German blood?"

"Yes, my grandfather is German, and my grandmother and mother are both Chinese, so I have been speaking Chinese since I was a child."

"No wonder, according to Lu Li, you are from a diplomatic family, and your grandpa's ancestors are German nobles?"

Wen Siyu said with his usual humble attitude: "It's not considered a nobleman, it just has a small manor and a small title, which is far away from the real big noble..."

Luo La was taking Vlogs with her mobile phone in the yard, making introductions while filming, not restrained at all, and wanted Lu Li to also appear on the scene.

Lu Li quickly refused: "I still won't be on camera, I'm under pressure for the camera."

She smiled and said, "Your mother is an actress, it's unbelievable that you are afraid of the camera."

And Wen Siyu was very interested in some of the furnishings in the living room, and asked Grandpa Lu Li everything from the material of the furniture to the shape of the stove in great detail.

Han Qingrui didn't expect this mixed-race boy to be so interested in these things, so he responded to them one by one with a smile.

When Pei Xiu came over, Han Qingrui and Wen Siyu looked as if they had forgotten their friendship, and he couldn't help smiling: "Grandpa Han, why don't you show him the ambergris I gave you."

Han Qingrui reacted: "That's right, I forgot about that."

After speaking, he took out the treasure box with great interest, opened it and showed it to Wen Siyu, and expressed his appreciation for Pei Xiu's gift again...

Lu Li accompanied Luo La back to the living room after filming the Vlog, just in time to see this scene.

Laura leaned over to sniff the scent, and said, "It smells like pine wood, is it so expensive?"

Lu Li purposely walked in front of Pei Xiu, and said, "When it comes to giving gifts, no one is better than you at what you want."

"You seem to be mocking me?" he said posturingly.

"I'm not being sarcastic, but the necklace I received now is very much in my mind." Lu Li showed off the two L letters, and looked at Pei Xiu with raised eyebrows, "William gave it to me." My birthday present, these two letters are the letters of my name, take care."

As a result, the expression on Pei Xiu's face became very subtle to the naked eye.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.Fortunately, the aunt said: "Lunch is ready."

This solved his difficulty.

During the meal, Pei Xiu seemed to deliberately sit beside Lu Li, and took the initiative to add vegetables to her bowl.

Lu Li always felt it was weird, he did all of this, it didn't feel like serving her food in the past.

In the past, she would feel that it was very natural and not embarrassing to pick up vegetables, but now, she just feels that he is doing it for someone to see.

So, does he really regard Wen Siyu as a rival in love?

Is he really jealous of Wen Siyu?

Hmph, Lu Li laughed coldly in her heart.

He simply said to Wen Siyu who was sitting opposite: "Give me your bowl, William, and I'll help you serve the soup."

"Oh, thank you, you are too kind!" Wen Siyu said with a smile.

"No, you took good care of me when I was in Beijing. You even took me to the opera. We visited so many places together. Although I have been there before, it feels different to go with you... "

When he said this, Lu Li felt like a green tea...

But from the corner of his eye, he saw someone trying to put on a smiling face, and Lu Li felt secretly refreshed again.

Wen Siyu said: "By the way, there are many places in Jiangwu that I want to visit again. You have to be our guide."

"No problem, how about we go to Dancui Tower to listen to Kunqu opera tomorrow?" Lu Li asked.

"Not bad, I just want to go." Wen Siyu said.

Suddenly, I heard someone next to me say strangely: "Speaking of Kunqu Opera, Lu Li's grandmother is a Kunqu Opera performer. Going with her may help you understand it better."

Wen Siyu was slightly surprised: "So grandma is so powerful! How about going together?"

Fortunately, Rong Shanqing was very knowledgeable, and said: "You young people go shopping and listen to operas, and I, an old woman, will follow Duosha Scenery, so you can enjoy listening to it." Then he asked Pei Xiu, "Pei Xiu, if you are free , Let’s go together, the young people will have fun together.”

"I don't know Mingtang, let Tour Guide Lu take them to play." He said seemingly generously.

Lu Li pursed her lips and looked at the person next to her. Seeing his disappointed face, she felt that he was really jealous!

Pei Xiu didn't seem to have much appetite, Rong Shanqing noticed this, "Why don't you eat Pei Xiu? The food is not to your liking?"

"Auntie's craftsmanship has always been excellent. I ate late for breakfast today."

"Oh, let's have some soup, and Lu Li will serve him a bowl."

Lu Li glanced at him, barely scooped up soup for him, and placed it in front of him.

He was indeed a little different today, and he didn't talk much afterwards, and left after eating without even drinking tea.

I don't know if he was really angry with this necklace... Lu Li looked at his back, feeling unhappy.

Luo La pulled her to the porch strangely, and asked in a low voice, "What's your relationship with Pei Xiu?"

"It doesn't matter, I just grew up with him."

"It feels like he's jealous!"

"Is there? I didn't find out. You must be thinking too much. I have been arguing with him since we were young. You must be thinking too much..."

Laura curled her lips and didn't say any more.
