Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband
Chapter 358: Inexplicable HostilityBased on her earlier conversation with Gao Ruolan, Shen Nian quickly guessed that this girl must be her younger daughter—the Chu Family’s own Miss Chu Lingxiu.
Although the Chu Family was a prestigious one, they weren’t particularly strict with their daughters. Since Chu Lingxiu had shown no interest in a business career from a young age, the Chu Family naturally didn’t force the issue.
Chu Lingxiu had essentially grown up doing as she pleased. Coupled with her family’s adoration, she had always led a very comfortable life.
In fact, when she wanted to study abroad, the Chu Family went to great lengths to send her off.
And now that she found living abroad wasn’t fun anymore, she’d come back in a flash.
"Huh? What are these? Are they new items from Dingshi Restaurant?"
While Chu Lingxiu might not have taken after her mother in demeanor, she certainly did in matters of taste. With Dingshi Restaurant’s recent surge in popularity, their family often had its pastries at home.
As soon as Chu Lingxiu walked over, the first thing she noticed was what her family was eating.
"Nonsense! Don’t you see we have guests? You don’t even know to say hello!"
Of course, Chu Zhengwei doted on his youngest granddaughter, but seeing her be so impolite, he couldn’t help but get a little angry.
Of course, Chu Lingxiu knew there were guests. She was doing it on purpose! But seeing the flicker of anger on her grandfather’s face, she didn’t dare push her luck.
In this family, the one person she feared most was her grandfather, Chu Zhengwei.
"Grandpa, I just got back! Besides, Brother Lu Cheng is practically family, so what’s the big deal?"
When Chu Zhengwei mentioned guests, he wasn’t just referring to Lu Cheng—he meant Shen Nian as well! This was Shen Nian’s first visit to their home, so she certainly deserved a proper welcome.
He just hadn’t expected Chu Lingxiu to ignore Shen Nian so completely.
"Lingxiu, this is Brother Lu Cheng’s wife, Shen Nian. You two are close in age, so you should get along well."
Gao Ruolan, fearing the old master would get even angrier, pulled Chu Lingxiu aside to speak. She knew her daughter could be willful, but at home—especially in front of the old master—she was always on her best behavior. ’What’s gotten into her today?’
Only after hearing Gao Ruolan’s words did Chu Lingxiu finally turn to look at Shen Nian, acting as if she’d only just realized such a person was even in her home.
"Ah, so you’re Brother Lu Cheng’s wife. Hello, I’m Chu Lingxiu."
"Hello."
Shen Nian watched Chu Lingxiu speak with a smile, but for some reason, she could sense a trace of hostility from her.
But she and Chu Lingxiu had clearly never met before.
’Could it be because of Lu Cheng? Does Chu Lingxiu like him?’
’No, that’s not it. When Chu Lingxiu came in, her gaze only lingered on Lu Cheng for a second. And when she did look at him, there wasn’t the slightest trace of infatuation in her eyes.’
’Unless Chu Lingxiu was able to perfectly conceal her feelings. But given her personality and age, she probably wasn’t capable of that yet.’
’But if it wasn’t because she liked Lu Cheng, then why was Chu Lingxiu hostile toward her?’
’So where was the problem? This really was a bit strange.’
After saying her piece to Shen Nian, Chu Lingxiu averted her gaze, her attention returning to the pastries on the table, whose appearance and aroma were both top-notch.
"Mom, you still haven’t answered me. Are these new items from Dingshi Restaurant?"
