Chapter 246 Like an Old Friend
As Li Luo spoke, the driver pedaled the tricycle faster, fearing that if he went a little slower, he would get into trouble.
Lin Ge and Cheng Lu looked at each other, and Cheng Lu felt a sense of relief as if he had finally gotten his revenge.
"Sister Xiaoge, your identity is too powerful. I didn't expect that such a powerful person would be scared to death after hearing the name of the Li family."
When Lin Ge heard Cheng Lu's compliment to him, he curled his lips proudly: "Yes, my biological parents are very good to me. They have a special car to pick me up when I go out. If Uncle Li hadn't asked for leave today, I could still take you out to play."
There was envy in Cheng Lu's eyes.
Look at Lin Ge's outfit again. That's the most popular skirt and headband nowadays. Although Sister Lin Ge is not considered a beauty, she looks superior when wearing these clothes, and it's hard to offend her.
"Sister Xiaoge, you look really good in this dress." Cheng Lu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lin Ge.
"Hahaha, Chengcheng, don't worry, Sister Xiaoge will pick out something for you to wear later." Lin Ge patted Cheng Lu's shoulder, looking in a good mood.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoge!" Cheng Lu's brows lit up, unable to hide her excitement.
Since she was a child, she could only wear some coarse linen clothes. Until she was brought to Lin Ge's room, she was dazzled by the beautiful clothes in Lin Ge's closet.
"Sister, this dress is so beautiful. I've seen Li Luo wearing a similar dress before. It makes her skin look so white that it glows!"
When Lin Ge mentioned Li Luo, the smile on his face froze for a moment. Cheng Lu realized that he had said the wrong thing and apologized quickly: "But her clothes look so old, and my sister's clothes look much better than hers!"
"Besides, it will definitely make Sister look more elegant when she wears it than when Li Luo wears it!"
"This dress is for you." Lin Ge had spent a lot of money to buy this dress, but Cheng Lu's words left her with an unpleasant feeling in her throat, and she no longer had the desire to wear the dress.
Although I still felt a little painful when giving it to Cheng Lu, at least I felt relieved.
"Sister Xiaoge, your house is so beautiful. Compared to our cowshed in the countryside, this place is simply heaven!" Cheng Lu looked around the Li family, seeing the exquisite chandeliers, high-end fabric sofas, and the elegant women in cheongsams.
She was totally different from her mother who only wore a headscarf, complained about life every day, and washed clothes until they were patinaed. The woman opposite had nail polish on her hands and a light red on her lips. She elegantly turned her legs sideways and drank coffee from a beautiful porcelain cup.
"You are Xiaoge's friend, right?" Although Cheng Lu was still wearing rustic clothes, Yu Shulan did not show any displeasure for Lin Ge's sake.
Cheng Lu wiped his hands on himself several times, stretched out his hands, bent over and held Yu Shulan's hands: "Hello, Madam, my name is Cheng Lu, and I grew up with Sister Xiaoge."
Yu Shulan nodded at Cheng Lu, and looking at his flustered look, she recalled how Lin Ge looked when he first came to see her.
Lin Ge was also so timid at that time, which made people feel pity for him, and his clothes were also shabby.
"Cheng Lu, since you and Xiaoge are good friends, you should accompany her to play during this period. She has been feeling very depressed during this period." Yu Shulan smiled and nodded at Cheng Lu.
Looking at Cheng Lu's cautious look again, if he didn't recognize Xiaoge, would Xiaoge be so cautious when seeing him?
Yu Shulan looked at Cheng Lu, then at Lin Ge, and felt even more pity for Lin Ge.
"Xiao Ge, does your friend want some coffee? This is authentic Blue Mountain coffee, you and your sister should try it together." Yu Shulan sat back on the sofa, picked up the cup and raised it towards Lin Ge. "No, no trouble, Auntie." Cheng Lu waved her hand quickly, but Lin Ge insisted on making coffee for both Cheng Lu and herself and brought it up.
"Try it, it's delicious, with a mellow flavor." Lin Ge pushed the cup in front of Cheng Lu.
Cheng Lu looked at his clothes, but was embarrassed to sit on such a clean sofa, so he squatted on the ground and held the cup with his own hands.
I imitated Lin Ge and took a small sip of coffee.
"Hey, this Chinese medicine is so bitter~" Cheng Lu kept fanning her tongue, and this action made Lin Ge and Yu Shulan laugh.
"Hahaha, this is much more advanced than traditional Chinese medicine. These are all ground from coffee beans, roasted through multiple processes, and shipped back from abroad."
Cheng Lu shuddered all over and put the cup down silently. She really couldn't appreciate this coffee that was shipped from abroad.
"Sister Xiaoge, I haven't met my brother-in-law yet. Can you take me to meet him? I heard you say before that my brother-in-law is so handsome. I want to see how well my sister is doing!" Cheng Lu's eyes were full of stars, and she looked at Lin Ge with admiration.
Seeing Cheng Lu's expectant look, Lin Ge nodded for some unknown reason.
"Change into clean clothes. Don't let others look down on you." Lin Ge handed the clothes to Cheng Lu and asked Cheng Lu to change into them. Cheng Lu nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Cheng Lu packed up and followed Lin Ge to Qi Liancheng's unit to find Qi Liancheng.
Qi Liancheng looked impatient: "Why are you here? You are almost going to be a wife, and you will get married in two days. Don't you know that we can't see each other?"
Facing Qi Liancheng's sour face, Lin Ge bit her lip and didn't say anything.
"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. It was me who wanted to meet you, so Sister Xiaoge brought me here..." Cheng Lu poked his head out from the side and spoke softly.
Qi Liancheng looked at Cheng Luchong who was leaning out to the side. Why did this outfit... look so much like Li Luo, who followed him before and called him Brother Liancheng?
Before Qi Liancheng could think about it, Cheng Lu called him "brother-in-law" again and again.
"Brother-in-law, when my sister mentioned you to me before, she always said that you are the most handsome man in the world, and you are also very charming. Today I met you, and you are indeed a handsome man. Sister Xiaoge has a good eye."
"I wish I had a boyfriend as handsome as this one."
Cheng Lu's words praised both Qi Liancheng and Lin Ge, and the atmosphere between the two was no longer as tense as before.
"Now that we've met, let's not meet again for the next two days. Just focus on preparing for the wedding." Qi Liancheng said this and turned to leave.
"Goodbye, brother-in-law." Cheng Lu hurriedly greeted Qi Liancheng.
Qi Liancheng turned his head, was startled again, and then replied: "Goodbye."
"Sister Xiaoge, my brother-in-law is gone." Cheng Lu's words seemed a little regretful.
