The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

"Mrs. Zhong."

After recognizing the person, Shen Mingzhu hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, stood up and greeted Zhong Mu politely.

Seeing Mother Zhong's smiling eyes fall on Pei Ziheng's face, Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Ziheng to stand up and call for someone.

But after her son got up, Shen Mingzhu was in trouble again.

How to shout this?
"lady."

Hearing Pei Ziheng's name, the smile on Zhong's mother's face deepened.

"Such a clever boy."

According to their seniority, Pei Ziheng should call Zhong Mu grandma, but their relationship with Zhong Mu is obviously not that good.

It would be rude to call "Mrs. Zhong" like Shen Mingzhu.

Calling "Madam" is very appropriate. Throughout the ages, Madam has been an honorific title for aristocratic housewives.

I thought Zhong Mu was just passing by to say hello, but she sat down and chatted enthusiastically with Shen Mingzhu.

Zhong Mu first praised Shen Mingzhu's makeup for Zhuang Xueqi, and then asked Shen Mingzhu to do makeup for Zhong Qing's wedding.

Shen Mingzhu was a little surprised. She had talked about this with Zhong Qing a few days ago, but Zhong Qing didn't say anything about a wedding.

Seeing her doubts, Zhong Mu smiled and explained, "The date hasn't been set yet, but it will definitely be done next year. After all, Qingqing and Xiaoyi are not young. In addition to custom-made wedding dresses and other things, it can almost be done now." preparing."

Shen Mingzhu responded with a smile.

Zhong's mother didn't linger much, chatted for a few words with Shen Mingzhu, and then left.

Shen Mingzhu didn't pay much attention and continued to enjoy the feast of sea, land and air with her son.

……

I don't know whether it was because of eating too much or because of her health, but Shen Mingzhu actually got upset after eating.

After running to the bathroom three times in a row, I felt my stomach felt better.

The bathroom is connected to the aisle of the restaurant by the sea, and many guests stood in the aisle to get some air.

When Shen Mingzhu ran back to the restaurant after running to the bathroom for the third time, she met Yan Yi who was leaning on the railing.

Shen Mingzhu wanted to say hello and go back to the restaurant, but was stopped by Yan Yi.

"Are you all right?"

Meeting Shen Mingzhu's surprised gaze, she explained sternly: "I'm on the second floor, right opposite the restaurant door. I saw you went to the bathroom several times."

As he spoke, he handed her a box of medicine.

Shen Mingzhu took the medicine and said with embarrassment, "Thank you."

It's a bit embarrassing to have a stomachache after eating too much and be seen by the host.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to talk about Yan Yi and Zhong Qing's marriage, "I heard from Mrs. Zhong that it should be next year. Congratulations in advance."

Yan Yi did not respond to this topic, his eyes fell on her face as warmly as the warm afternoon light.

"How have you been lately? It feels like you've lost a little weight."

Shen Mingzhu touched her face, feeling quite good.

After all, it is better to be praised for being thin than to be told that you have gained weight.

"I'm doing well, very busy but very fulfilled."

In fact, he couldn't see that she was living a good life.

Whether a woman is living well or not, her mental state speaks volumes.

He just had nothing to say and wanted to spend more time with her.

"Are there any new products coming out of the factory recently?"

Shen Mingzhu shook his head, "This year's main goal is to develop the branch's business. At present, several products of the food factory are performing well. I am going to do some upgrades and developments in terms of taste and texture."

Just as he was talking, Ning Yuan came out of the restaurant to look for Yan Yi.

Seeing that Ning Yuan's hand was rubbing his stomach and his body smelled of alcohol, Shen Mingzhu subconsciously said with concern: "If you drink too much wine and your stomach feels uncomfortable, you can drink some honey water to relieve it."

Ning Yuan nodded gratefully, looked at Yan Yi's innocent expression, chuckled secretly, and turned to chat with Shen Mingzhu.

"Winter is coming soon. When will I go to your house to eat mutton-boiled meat again? You don't need to prepare ingredients this time. I have raised a few big-tailed sheep on the farm in the suburbs. I will have them slaughtered and sent to you. Go to your home."

Shen Mingzhu still likes to eat hotpot mutton. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "You can eat hotpot mutton anytime, but you don't have to go to my house. I have opened a new private restaurant outside the south of the city. I will try the dishes at the end of the month. I will invite you then. welcome."

"Okay, we will definitely go to support you then. I will bring a few more people there to promote it for you."

"Thank you." After Shen Mingzhu returned to the restaurant, Ning Yuan put his hand on Yan Yi's shoulder, "Well, I have made a meritorious service, right? Is there any reward?"

"I will reward you with a glass of honey water."

After Yan Yi finished speaking, he also headed back to the restaurant.

Ning Yuan followed him, "...Tch, stingy! Hiss, I can't do it anymore, I really have to go get a glass of honey water."

……

The three-day trip ended in the blink of an eye.

For Shen Mingzhu, this cruise trip was worth every penny.

Not only do you have fun eating and having fun, but you also expand your circle of contacts among the upper class.

This made her feel that the pure gold ornaments she gave were a bit too light.

There was no way, she was poor, otherwise she would have given her a bottle of pure gold ornaments.

However, there is a long way to go, and she will definitely make up for Zhuang Xueqi's child's full moon ceremony in the future.

With only the last hour left before the cruise ship arrived, Shen Mingzhu went back to the room and started packing her luggage.

In the middle of packing, Zhuang Xueqi personally gave her a souvenir.

Shen Mingzhu was very flattered.

After Zhuang Xueqi left, Shen Mingzhu opened the souvenir gift box and found that there were many types of gifts.

There are wedding candies, sachet pendants, women's perfume, red wine, wooden combs and perfumed soaps.

Soap is used more and more these days, and soap is still very rare.

In addition, there is a red envelope.

The red envelope was so thin that Shen Mingzhu didn't pay much attention to it, but when he opened it, he found it was a Hong Kong dollar with a face value of 1000 yuan.

The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the RMB is around 1.15 this year.

1000 Hong Kong dollars is equal to 1150 RMB.

This was not a small amount of money. Shen Mingzhu didn't bother to pack her luggage and immediately went upstairs to find Zhuang Xueqi.

She was worried that the red envelope was a gift from someone else and was accidentally put into her gift box.

"This money is your reward."

Zhuang Xueqi calmly drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror, seemingly dissatisfied, and turned around to hand the eyebrow pencil to Shen Mingzhu.

"You help me draw."

Shen Mingzhu took the eyebrow pencil, outlined the ends of her eyebrows in a few strokes, and then thinned the eyebrow pencil to create a clear-cut effect on the brows.

From a distance, it looks like natural and wild eyebrows.

Zhuang Xueqi looked in the mirror, her face showed satisfaction, but she quickly frowned again.

"Why can't I draw well every time?"

"It is difficult for a healer to heal himself. When I draw my own eyebrows, I always draw them poorly."

Hearing her comfort, Zhuang Xueqi felt better and picked up the lipstick and applied it in front of the mirror.

Shen Mingzhu put the red envelope on the dressing table, "Mrs. Ning, I appreciate your kindness. I have the honor to attend your wedding banquet this time and I have benefited a lot."

Zhuang Xueqi pursed her lips, put on her lipstick, and looked at her through the mirror with a playful expression, "Don't you like money? Or is it too little?"

Seeing the confusion on Shen Mingzhu's face, Zhuang Xueqi withdrew his gaze and straightened his hair in the mirror.

"The bag you sold was bought by Shanshan's sister-in-law."

Shen Mingzhu said sarcastically, "Do you know?"

"Well, I knew it two months ago."

"I didn't expose you before because I needed to use you."

So, now that she is no longer needed, are we ready to kill the donkey?

Shen Mingzhu touched Leng Chi's neck and said, "Mrs. Ning, I can quibble."

Zhuang Xueqi turned around and crossed her arms and chest, "As long as your reasons can convince me, I won't argue with you and will give you a better leather bag."

The eldest lady is really rich and willful.

However, she likes it! (End of chapter)
