After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 17: Who wouldn't be confused after reading it?

After buying lotus root and other vegetables, they went to the meat section to select pork.

Looking at the neatly arranged pieces of pork, Luo Jiuyu was at a loss as to where to begin.

Hua Meimei proactively asked the stall owner, "Boss, which piece of pork is suitable for braised pork? I want it to be fresh."

The stall owner enthusiastically recommended a piece of pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat to them.

Hua Meimei turned to Luo Jiuyu and said, "Let's take this one, it looks good."

Luo Jiuyu didn't want to put in the effort, "You can buy whatever you want."

During the shopping process, Hua Meimei would occasionally pick up some snacks and put them into the shopping cart.

Upon seeing this, Luo Jiuyu said, "These are all junk food. Grandpa and Grandma are too old to eat them."

Hua Meimei chuckled: "This is for me, I want to eat it!"

Luo Jiuyu said, "Okay, I'll pay for it myself."

Hua Meimei glared at him. "Is it really necessary to be so particular?"

"Who said they couldn't wait to get a divorce tomorrow?" He bluntly returned her exact words.

"Fine, I'll pay it myself..." Hua Meimei tolerated it because he was her creditor.

After buying a bunch of things, I went to the cashier to pay.

She took out all the snacks she had chosen and put them on the other side.

I've scanned all the other items in my shopping cart and am now waiting to pay.

He glanced at the pile of snacks she had left aside and said, "Bring them over and scan the code."

"Didn't you say I should pay for it myself?"

"Are you going to scan it or not?" He opened the payment code and pretended to pay.

That look in his eyes: I'm giving you one last chance.

If there's free money to be had, why not take advantage of it?

Hua Meimei immediately grabbed bags of snacks and quickly finished them off.

"A duplicitous man."

As they pulled the grocery shopping cart out of the mall, Hua Meimei followed behind Luo Jiuyu, muttering complaints under her breath.

He suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at her with a cold and stern expression.

She stopped too, tilted her head and looked him over. Ever since they left home, he had seemed a little sullen. Did he have a problem with her?

"Berry Flower, don't you remember what you did to me last night?" He crossed his arms and took two steps closer to her.

The pleasant scent of cedar is refreshing and invigorating.

She seemed to have smelled it somewhere before.

Think about it carefully, recall it.

Last night, in the Apollo men's restroom!

At the time, I thought I had mistaken him for someone else.

So the man she later saw at the gates of Apollo was also him...

Wait, she seems to have kissed that man too.

Because she thought Luo Jiuyu was too handsome, she couldn't help but kiss him under the influence of alcohol.

In some ways, amnesia is a good thing.

At that moment, Hua Meimei was utterly dumbfounded. She desperately wished she had really lost her memory.

She raised her left hand to cover her face.

"You think you have a face just because you cover it up?" he teased her.

Her face flushed and her heart raced. She simply lowered her head, grabbed her shopping cart, and ran past him, heading home as fast as she could.

he:"?……"

When Li Xiang saw the ingredients they bought, she smiled and said, "Young Master and Madam have quite the taste in shopping. The meat and vegetables they picked are all fresh, and the fish and shrimp are also quite good."

Luo Jiuyu and Hua Meimei exchanged a glance. Hua Meimei smiled guiltily and turned to leave.

Luo Jiuyu grabbed her by the back of her collar. "Don't even think about going back to sleep. Learn to cook from Aunt Xiang. Don't forget the ten million. I can raise the interest..."

Good! A strong woman can bend and stretch.

Hua Meimei took the initiative to walk into the kitchen and said to Li Xiang, "Aunt Xiang, let me help you prepare the meal."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Okay."

"Aunt Xiang, please call me Meimei from now on, don't call me Madam, it sounds awkward to me."

"Okay, Berry."

In the kitchen, although Hua Meimei was a little clumsy, she earnestly learned to chop and wash vegetables from Li Xiang.

Luo Jiuyu stood at the kitchen doorway, watching the two busy women, and her gaze suddenly softened.

A woman who wasn't his biological mother, yet took care of his daily life like a mother.

The other is his wife in name only; she is an unnecessary presence, though she may occasionally be of some use.

It's approaching twelve o'clock.

Luo Jiuyu asked Hua Meimei to follow him downstairs to the entrance of the community to greet the elderly.

Thinking about what she had done to him last night, Hua Meimei felt a little uneasy facing him again. Of course, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

She wasn't embarrassed; she let him handle the embarrassment.

Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo arrived at the entrance of the residential area in a luxury car and got out.

She went to meet him.

The two elderly people were in their eighties, dressed elegantly, and in good spirits.

This is the founder of the Luo family business; he certainly has an extraordinary presence.

"Grandpa, Grandma," Luo Jiuyu called out to them.

Hua Meimei smiled brightly and sweetly greeted everyone, "Good afternoon, Grandpa and Grandma."

Compared to Luo Jiuyu's formulaic approach, Hua Meimei's voice when calling out "Grandpa and Grandma" was sweet.

Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo smiled and agreed, their eyes scanning Hua Meimei.

Grandma Luo kindly took Meimei's hand and said, "This must be Meimei. She is indeed a well-behaved and good child."

She was praised. Hua Meimei lowered her head slightly, a little shyly.

Grandpa Luo said, "Meimei is even prettier in person than in the photos her father gave us. Luo Jiuyu, isn't the wife your grandma and I picked for you quite good?"

At that time, the Hua family was unable to deliver the goods on time, and according to the breach of contract liability, they had to return the deposit and pay a total of 30 million yuan in liquidated damages.

The company's cash flow has dried up, and it can't come up with that much money right now.

Hua Wenxia was at her wits' end. It was Lin Cuilan who inquired about the Luo family's private affairs and took the initiative to push Hua Meimei out to marry Luo Jiuyu, the youngest child of the Luo family.

After seeing Hua Meimei's photos, Grandpa Luo and Grandma Luo immediately agreed.

This led to the marriage.

Luo Jiuyu twitched the corners of her mouth, looked at Hua Meimei, and said with a hint of a smile, "Satisfied."

Grandma Luo held Hua Meimei's hand and asked, "What about you? Do you like Xiao Jiu?"

Xiaojiu?

Only then did Hua Meimei realize that his nickname was Xiao Jiu.

But then the image of her hugging and kissing him last night flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, "I like him. Grandma, he's so handsome, who wouldn't be smitten?"

Luo Jiuyu read a hint in her eyes; she was probably making excuses for her outburst last night.

He scoffed inwardly and glanced at her.

When the two elders weren't looking, she glanced back at him, her eyes saying: What can you do to me?

As everyone walked home, Grandpa Luo asked Luo Jiuyu what she had been busy with since her marriage.

Luo Jiuyu lied without changing his expression, "I'm with my wife."

"So, did you have your honeymoon?" the old lady asked.

“No,” he said. “It’s too cold.”

The old lady chimed in, "What's the big deal? If you're afraid of the cold, just go on vacation somewhere warm."

Hua Meimei listened quietly to the side, not wanting to say a word.

Let her go on her honeymoon with him? Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

This marriage was just for show, and both she and he knew it.

Back home, Li Xiang had already set the table with the food.

The family sat down together and began to eat.

"This is such a feast, how can we possibly eat so much food?" Grandma Luo said, looking at the table full of delicacies. "Your grandfather and I are getting old, and our appetites have shrunk."

Luo Jiuyu said, "It was Hua Meimei who did her best."

Is this a compliment to her for working hard at cooking, or a complaint about how much she cooks? Hua Meimei just wants to laugh.

"I can't cook, I learned from Aunt Xiang. I just helped out and cooked two dishes. I hope Grandpa and Grandma won't mind."

"You can tell that Meimei put a lot of effort into this dish; it's one of our favorites," said Grandpa Luo.

"I don't mind, Meimei is such a good girl. Everyone's hungry, let's eat." Grandma Luo picked up her chopsticks first.

After dinner, they sat with Mr. and Mrs. Luo in the living room to watch TV.

Grandma Luo beckoned her to sit down next to her and began to inquire about the details of her and Luo Jiuyu's lives.

Hua Meimei blushed and gave a vague answer, her eyes occasionally glancing at Luo Jiuyu for help.

Luo Jiuyu pretended not to see it, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she was enjoying her embarrassment.

You're not going to help me out of this mess? Fine, just you wait.
