Meng Chuyuan said without exaggeration, “You’re more than ten years younger. If we go out together, others will definitely think that you’re my sister.”
Madam Lu was only 50 years old. She usually paid attention to her health, and there were no signs of slackness or sagging on her skin. With a little makeup and some details, one could not tell her true age at all.
It was mainly because she had a maiden-like personality. If she went out with this face, people would definitely believe that she was in her twenties.
Madam Lu’s eyes were filled with satisfaction. However, when she focused on her clothes, she began to feel that the clothes she was wearing were not worthy of such beautiful makeup.
“Do you think my clothes look too old-fashioned? Do I need to change?”
Meng Chuyuan glanced at it carefully and said to her seriously, “This is quite good. It looks young.”
Madam Lu was wearing a white round-collar knitted shirt with a light gray skirt and a pair of black high heels.
She was dressed quite young and did not look old at all.
Meng Chuyuan caught a glimpse of the walk-in wardrobe in front of her. She walked over. “Let me find you another jacket. This jacket looks too thin. I’m afraid you’ll be cold.”
The weather was alright now. If there was a sun at noon, it would actually be quite hot.
Meng Chuyuan reached out to open Madam Lu’s wardrobe. She didn’t expect her to have so many clothes of all seasons. Just her shoes and bag alone occupied one wall.
Seeing that she was standing at the door and did not enter, Madam Lu walked over curiously. “Is it too messy? Did I scare you?”
Meng Chuyuan smiled. “It’s not a mess. I just didn’t expect your cloakroom to be so full.’
Ever since she married Lu Qingye, Meng Chuyuan had been buying without restraint.
Because she was Lu Qingye’s wife, she naturally couldn’t dress too inferiorly. She had to choose the best clothes for everything, and she would wear them differently every day.
Today, she was lucky enough to visit Madam Lu’s walk-in wardrobe. Only then did she know what it meant to be insignificant.
When Madam Lu heard this, it was undoubtedly a form of praise. She said with some distress and pride, “I thought this walk-in wardrobe was too small. I packed a pile of last season clothes and planned to clean them up when I have time.”
She often mingled with other madams and could not help but compare herself to them. As long as she had the chance, she would keep showing off in front of them.
She needed this kind of flattery to satisfy herself.
Meng Chuyuan looked at her in confusion. “How?”
“Isn’t it enough to just throw it out? How else can it be cleared?”
Meng Chuyuan frowned and said seriously, “Mom, we can donate these unused clothes. It’s a waste to throw them away.”
Perhaps in the eyes of rich ladies like them, these clothes were too old-fashioned and they did not want last season clothes. But quality-wise, there was no problem with them at all. The clothes were not damaged at all and could be worn for a few more years.
Madam Lu was a little surprised. “You can donate clothes for my age group?”
She felt that it was more appropriate to donate children’s clothes. Older clothes like hers shouldn’t be of much use, right?
“Mom, you’re wrong to think that way. Actually, no matter what age group you’re looking at, there’s always people in need. Let’s try our best not to waste these clothes. Instead of throwing them away like this, it’s better to do a good deed and donate the clothes to those who need them.”
Not only was Madam Lu not angry at Meng Chuyuan’s sudden lesson, but she also agreed with her.
After careful consideration, she nodded affirmatively. “I think you’re right. It’s
a pity to throw these clothes away. Let’s use them for charity.”
Seeing that Madam Lu was so easily convinced, Meng Chuyuan was quite gratified.
Her mother-in-law was sensible and understood logic quickly. There was no need for her to waste her breath arguing and explaining.
Meng Chuyuan walked into the walk-in wardrobe and glanced seriously at the wall of the cabinet. In the end, she chose an apricot-colored jacket for Madam
Lu.
“Mom, this looks good on you.”
Madam Lu was not picky. She took the clothes from Meng Chuyuan and put them on. She did not expect them to match her outfit quite well.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Meng Chuyuan and her mother-in-law arrived at the Lu Corporation.
Before getting out of the car, Madam Lu took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on. In the end, after getting out of the car, she held Meng Chuyuan’s arm for support, unable to see the road clearly.
Meng Chuyuan did not understand why she suddenly put on the sunglasses.
Madam Lu grabbed Meng Chuyuan’s arm tightly and reminded him, “If anyone asks questions later, just say that we’re here to inspect the work.”
“Huh?”
Madam Lu’s behavior along the way was a little strange. It was as if she had become a different person, especially with her expressionless face after putting on her sunglasses. It felt completely different from her personality.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan and Mrs. Lu came to the front desk. An employee recognized them and immediately called for someone to receive them.
As Lu Qingye and his son had gone on a business trip, the vice president had also gone out to discuss business yesterday. No one knew when he would be back.
Now that the company was without a leader, Lu Qingye asked his mother to come over to study and keep an eye on the departments under him.
Not long after, Lu Qingye’s secretary came out to receive the two of them and brought them around the various departments.
Every time Meng Chuyuan walked past a department, she would cause the employees to be restless.
“Oh my god, is that CEO Lu’s wife? She looks quite young.”
“It’s that Sister Meng who’s been very popular in variety shows recently, right?
She’s actually even better-looking in person than on camera.”
They worked overtime every day and basically did not have time to watch the live-stream. However, they would scroll through Weibo occasionally when they were resting. They saw Meng Chuyuan’s trending topic and remembered her appearance.
Previously, they had heard that Lu Qingye was married, but they had not had the chance to see Meng Chuyuan in real life. They did not expect to be able to feast their eyes at the company today.
Madam Lu raised her head and listened to the secretary’s non-stop introduction. She did not listen to a single word.
However, she could feel that everyone was looking at them from the corner of her eye. Madam Lu was a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed Meng Chuyuan tightly.
Meng Chuyuan felt a slight pressure on her arm. She tilted her head to look at
Madam Lu and asked softly, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
She said coldly, “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired from standing.” When the secretary saw this, he said tactfully, “Why don’t we go and rest first?”
“Let’s. I’m thirsty too.” Madam Lu was not interested in visiting the departments at all. She felt that there was nothing much to see.
The secretary brought the two of them to Lu Qingye’s office and even got someone to prepare tea and snacks.
This was Meng Chuyuan’s first visit to Lu Qingye’s office. He did not expect it to be so spacious. The floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk could almost overlook most of the commercial district.
His desk was very tidy. The documents were arranged in an orderly manner, and there was no trace of dust on the surface.
Meng Chuyuan only glanced at it casually. She did not expect to find an old item on Lu Qingye’s desk..
