C64 (2/2)

Hearing her call her stepmother, the stepmother was obviously startled for a moment. A look of incredulity flashed across her face, because from her current appearance, it seemed that she really didn't remember anything.

It had only been an instant, but Luo Qingyu could clearly see it.

The stepmother did not lose decorum and said, ”I would take offense if you said thank you.”

Those who didn't know would think that their relationship was very good, but only after getting along with her would they realize that their stepmother was even more fickle than a chameleon, and her daughter was even better.

Cheng Xiaowei followed closely by her mother's side, using her own eyes that almost wanted to see through her, to try her best to find the answer.

She seemed to have noticed that she was staring at her, only to see her change into a more sisterly look. ”Big sister being able to see you again is really great. We all thought that you had …”

Saying that, he put on a fake appearance.

However, Cheng Xiaowei was such a person. If it was because of that huge fire, she would not have been able to see the true face of her good little sister.

”I'm fine now. Besides, I really have to thank for the fire, which allowed me to have my current peerless beauty!”

It seemed to be a joke, but only Luo Qingyu himself knew how much pain and suffering it would be when he said it.

The pain that the fire inflicted on him was eternal. Sometimes, as long as he closed his eyes, he could still feel the pain of the fire corroding his bones.

Cheng Xiaowei felt that it was unbelievable when she heard it. From the looks of Luo Qingyu's reply and the expression in his eyes, it seemed that she really did not remember about the fire.

She wanted to ask and make sure, but there were too many people at the banquet right now. If she was a bit careless and said something wrong, wouldn't she be setting fire to herself? She couldn't take this risk, so she had to find the right time.

The reason why Luo Qingyu did not expose the reason she did not, was to see where Cheng Xiaowei's endurance was.

However, the current Luo Qingyu was even more beautiful than before. The previous her could already be considered a beauty, but now she was even more spirited than before, especially his pair of black eyes, which could cause anyone to fall in with just a glance.

But for some reason, when Cheng Xiaowei looked into her eyes, there was actually an urge to envy in her heart.

”Sis, you are beautiful to begin with, but you must have suffered a lot!”

His words were filled with the care of a younger sister.

Luo Qingyu thought that he had more than just gone through a lot of hardships, he had simply been reborn.

She had been waiting in silence for her awkward conversation, but when she changed the subject to her father, the subtle atmosphere between them had been deftly resolved.

She never thought that Cheng Xiaowei, who had always been obediently by her side, would actually be so scheming.

With a smile, he toasted to his father while holding the wine cup in his hand, ”Dad, elder sister has already expressed her blessings, I wish you good health and longevity!”

Luofu raised his eyes to look at Cheng Xiaowei's smiling face. All this while, she had always been a little afraid of Luofu, and this time, being looked at in such a way by him made her feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. She endured the nervousness in his heart and waited for Luofu to take the wine cup from him.

After a moment of stalemate, Luofu took the wine cup from her hands. Everyone in the banquet heaved a sigh of relief.

The smile on Cheng Xiaowei's face grew even wider when she saw the wine that she had toasted being drunk in one gulp. However, she had already scolded Luofu a thousand times in her heart, thinking, old man, why aren't you dying yet? And your daughter, you all deserve to die.

When he turned around to leave, he put on a fierce look.

Luo Qingyu used his own superpower to read through all the information, and only felt that the human heart was sinister.

Cheng Xiaowei and her daughter had already expressed their gratitude but they did not return in a hurry. Instead, they found a seat at the main table and sat down.

The mother and daughter duo's skin were thick as well, but they didn't feel uncomfortable at all. They just sat there as they pleased.

Her father's face was ugly, but he didn't chase them away.

The banquet came to an end like this. The person that Luo Qingyu had been waiting for the entire time did not walk in front of him.

He didn't know if it was because Xu Jisi's mental fortitude was too good, or if Luo Qingyu was simply useless to him, but he didn't care at all.

Xu Jisi had been sitting at the same table as before since the start, so it was likely that everyone here knew about the relationship between the two of them.

He thought of a way to see if he was waiting for an opportunity or something.

Luo Qingyu whispered into his father's ear, ”Father, I'm going to the washroom!”

Luofu agreed and indicated for her to return early.

When they left, there were already several pairs of eyes staring at her, including Cheng Xiaowei and her daughter.

Seeing that Luo Qingyu's figure was gradually leaving, Cheng Xiaowei made a gesture that made her stomach ache, and immediately looked towards Luofu. Seeing that he did not react, Cheng Xiaowei's mother and him communicated for a while, and then quickly left from their seats.

One after the other, they left. Most of them didn't pay much attention.

However, if Cheng Xiaowei and the others did not have a guilty conscience, they would not act as if they had done something bad and panic.
