Chapter 53 - 53 The Future Young Madam
53 The Future Young Madam
“I’m—”
“Oh, future Young Madam, this is Young Master’s cousin, the daughter of Young Master’s aunt.” The butler interrupted Qu Lu and explained to Yin Xun. He even emphasized the word Young Madam.
Cousin? Yin Xun sized Qu Lu up. So this girl was related to Fang Yao.
Yin Xun remembered that when she first met Qu Lu, she had clearly fancied Fang Yao.
Thinking of this, Yin Xun raised her eyebrows. If she was not wrong, Qu Lu must be an adopted child. Otherwise, how would she dare to like her cousin so openly?
After the butler finished explaining to Yin Xun, he turned to Qu Lu and said, “Young Miss, you’re here to look for Young Master and visit Second Miss, right? Young Master has already gone over, so you can just head over yourself.”
“When did he leave?” Qu Lu asked the butler, but her eyes were fixed on Yin Xun.
The butler replied, “He’s been gone for less than ten minutes. If you chase him now, you should be able to catch up if you make haste.”
Qu Lu did not say anything else. Instead, she glanced at the butler before walking over to Yin Xun’s side and sitting down. She put on a friendly smile and asked, “I left so suddenly last time that I didn’t have time to ask for your name. My name is Qu Lu. I grew up with Yao. What’s your name?”
Yin Xun knew that this person was here to find out more about her.
Yin Xun elegantly put a piece of steak into her mouth and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Qu Lu did not expect Yin Xun to be so disrespectful to her. She smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s nothing. I just feel that we hit it off very well and I want to be friends. Moreover, Yao and I have always been very close. Since you’re his girlfriend, I naturally have to take care of you when you come over again in the future.”
After speaking, Qu Lu raised her head and said to the butler, “Bring me a set of cutlery.”
“Miss Qu, Young Master specially prepared this dinner for the future Young Madam. There’s only one serving, so I’m afraid that I can’t serve you,” the butler said calmly.
Just as the butler finished speaking, Qu Lu’s phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and looked up at Yin Xun when she saw the caller ID. Then, she smiled smugly and picked up the call.
“Auntie, I haven’t gone over yet. I’m at Yao’s place now.”
“Yes, yes. I know that he’s already gone over. I’m here to look for him. But I saw someone you definitely wouldn’t expect.” Qu Lu’s tone was a little downcast, as if she had suffered some grievance.
Yin Xun could not hear the voice on the phone. She could only hear Qu Lu’s words.
Qu Lu was smiling before she picked up the call. When she picked up the call, she immediately looked as if she had been wronged. Yin Xun did not even have to think to know that this fellow was having some bad ideas.
As expected, Qu Lu continued, “Auntie, did you know that Yao has a girlfriend? His girlfriend is having dinner at his place. I was thinking that since Yao already went to visit my sister and she’s doing fine, I’ll stay behind to take care of his girlfriend.”
Qu Lu continued to talk to the other party for a while longer. No one knew what was said on the other end of the line, but Qu Lu suddenly smiled and hung up.
“Yao actually didn’t tell his parents about you. The people around him don’t know about you either. But don’t worry, I’ve already told Auntie just now. She said she’ll come and see you tomorrow.”
Qu Lu looked very pleased with herself. She had picked up the call in front of Yin Xun on purpose, waiting for Yin Xun to question her.
However, Yin Xun did not even look at her. She was still focused on eating.
“Uncle Butler, did you make this yourself? It’s so delicious. I think that, with your culinary skills, you can open your own restaurant.” Yin Xun praised him.
The butler was a little embarra.s.sed by the praise. He chuckled and said, “All that matters is that you enjoy it. As long as you like it, just let me know when you want to eat my cooking. I’ll make it for you.”
Qu Lu sat there, waiting for them to take the initiative to talk to her. However, Yin Xun and the butler ignored her. They were chatting and laughing like a family, not even looking at her.
She could not help but remind Yin Xun, “Yao’s mother will come to see you tomorrow.”
Yin Xun finally reacted. She raised her eyes and swept a glance at Qu Lu. “I understand.”
After saying that, she did not continue.
Yin Xun did not start currying favor with her as Qu Lu thought she would. Qu Lu felt that Yin Xun was either stupid or crazy. Her boyfriend’s mother wanted to visit her, but she did not even ask about it. She did not seem afraid of leaving a bad impression. Qu Lu felt tired of this and turned to leave angrily.
Seeing that she was finally leaving, the butler walked out to send her off perfunctorily. He said politely, “Take care, Miss Qu. Be careful when it’s dark.”
After Qu Lu left the courtyard, the butler immediately ordered someone to close the door. He was afraid that Qu Lu would return the way she came.
