Chapter 1693: Moli's New Girlfriend is Very Overbearing
Whether it was Gu Yuxin, or Lu Feifei and Tian Yuanyuan, none of them had ever seen anything like this.
What is going on?
Calling it "the guest usurping the host's role" might not be quite right, but isn't this woman being a bit too overbearing?
This is visiting someone else's home; no, even if it weren't a visit, even if she were the host, she couldn't just change the fruits of someone else's hard labor as she pleased. It was too impolite.
Although Su Qiangying was impolite, her movements were extremely efficient; in the time it took to speak, she had already finished most of the work in her hands.
She turned around, saw Gu Yuxin and the others standing at the doorway, and without a word, chased them out.
"You've worked hard. Now that I'm here, leave this to me; you don't need to worry about it." As she said this, she pushed everyone out and closed the door behind her.
Lu Feifei asked, "What should we do?"
Gu Yuxin shrugged, "It's better to obey than to decline; my legs are indeed sore."
So the three girls returned to the living room and explained a little.
They still felt a bit embarrassed; it was their first time meeting, and letting someone work alone in the kitchen didn't seem right.
Moli laughed, "It's fine, you don't need to have any psychological burden. She is always like this. Whenever we go out for gatherings, she does all the work herself. She doesn't need anyone's help; she can do everything quickly and well all by herself."
Actually, Su Qiangying doing this was not very polite.
But Moli felt there was no problem, and others couldn't really say anything.
Soon, the food was on the table, and everyone took their seats.
Su Qiangying was truly efficient; one person was faster than all three of them combined. The three of them had spent an hour in the kitchen chatting and cooking, and they still hadn't finished.
She had been there for less than twenty minutes and had already set out seven or eight dishes.
Lu Feifei felt a bit embarrassed; after all, she was the host, and having the host let a guest cook in the kitchen—what did that look like?
"Thank you for your hard work, Qiangying..." She prepared to say a few polite words, but one sentence from Su Qiangying made the atmosphere even more awkward.
She said, "It's not hard work. If you feel embarrassed, just eat more later; don't be polite at all."
Lu Feifei:...
There was no way to respond to that, so she just smiled and stopped talking.
During the meal, Moli almost didn't have to move a finger the entire time.
His girlfriend peeled the prawns, dipped them in sauce, and placed them in the dish in front of him. After she picked up two pieces of egg for him, Su Qiangying wouldn't let him eat any more, saying that eating too much would raise his cholesterol, and told him to eat more beef.
Moli was also an obedient one; he ate whatever his girlfriend told him to eat, and didn't eat what she didn't allow.
Zichen and Litian were dumbfounded.
This scene was familiar.
Zirui and Zihan were still young at the time, but they remembered.
When they were little, there was once a gathering at home, and their aunt treated Moli exactly like this.
Moli would eat one bite after another; the fish had to be carefully deboned before it could be put into his bowl.
Unexpectedly, nearly twenty years had passed, and this scene was playing out before their eyes again.
It couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but it was indistinguishable!
Zichen was fine; he could maintain a calm expression, but Litian was different. He stared at Moli and Su Qiangying, his gaze never leaving the two of them.
Lu Feifei sensed it and secretly pinched him under the table, meaning that he shouldn't stare at people like that, as it was not good.
But Litian misunderstood and said it directly: "Miss Su, you are so like my aunt."
Su Qiangying:...
Her face darkened: "Second Brother, am I that old?"
"No, I didn't mean you're old; I meant you're like his mother."
Lu Feifei wished she could cover her boyfriend's mouth; how was he talking?
Su Qiangying wouldn't let it go: "How am I like his mother? How old is his mother? I am still so young..."
Zichen hurriedly explained: "He meant that you take care of Moli meticulously, not that you look like her."
"Oh, so that's it!"
A hint of a smile appeared on Su Qiangying's face, though the smile was a bit sour.
"Moli says the same thing; his mother takes such good care of him, so I have to learn a thing or two. I can't let our Moli suffer any grievances."
That was said quite politely.
She said she was learning, but such skilled technique clearly wasn't practiced in a single day.
Moli felt a bit uncomfortable; he stopped letting his girlfriend pick food and peel prawns for him, saying that he had hands and could do it himself.
But his girlfriend got angry, slapped her chopsticks on the table, and pulled a long face again: "What's wrong? It's always been like this. You didn't say it was bad before. Are you saying you're tired of me?"
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Zihan had always been a master at adjusting the atmosphere, and this time he was the one to jump in and ease things.
"Hey, today is a happy day. It's rare for everyone to be gathered together; should we take a group photo and post it to Moments?"
"Come, come, everyone gather toward the middle..."
And so, this bit of unpleasantness passed.
Everyone looked at the camera with smiles, and Moli, in order to coax his girlfriend into being happy, stood behind her and affectionately wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Click—"
The photo was taken, and then everyone posted it to Moments; even Zirui, who never posted to Moments, posted it.
Club.
Shi Youxuan and the others were also having a gathering, coincidentally.
And they discovered the children's Moments immediately, including Moli's new girlfriend.
"Look at Moments quickly, Moli seems to have a girlfriend!" Wan'er exclaimed, and hurriedly called for Jian Yixin.
Jian Yixin was whispering with Shi Youxuan, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but they were laughing so hard their eyes were squinting.
At Wan'er's shout, the two of them immediately stopped chatting, and everyone picked up their phones to check their social media feeds; and sure enough, wasn't it true?
Moli had his arm around a girl; she wasn't particularly beautiful, but she looked sharp and capable, and the two were almost cheek-to-cheek, acting very intimate.
Jian Yining protested, "Sister, you're being too unfair. Moli has a girlfriend and kept it hidden like an iron bucket, not a drop of water could leak out. What does his girlfriend do?"
Jian Yixin replied, "How would I know? I'm the same as you; I only just found out after seeing the social media post."
Her expression was not very good.
It wasn't just because her son had a girlfriend and didn't tell her, but also because she didn't like the way this girl looked.
"Huh? You don't know?" Jian Yining was a bit surprised.
He knew that the mother-son relationship between his nephew and his sister was exceptionally close, and that his nephew would tell his mother about everything the moment it happened, yet his sister had actually found out about his nephew having a girlfriend through a social media post.
This was awkward.
Jian Yixin walked out of the room and dialed her son's number.
Seeing his mother's number on the screen, Moli immediately answered, "Mom, is there something you need?"
Jian Yixin said displeasedly, "What, I can't call you if there's nothing wrong? Now that you have a girlfriend, you can't remember you still have a mother, right?"
He realized his mother was unhappy and hurriedly explained, "That's not it, where are your thoughts wandering? I could forget anyone, but I could never forget you..."
The mother on the other end of the phone felt a bit better, but the girlfriend beside him was unhappy.
