I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Butler Liu was a little surprised. This was the first time Lu Bei had asked about Madam, he quickly replied, "Mrs. Lu's convenience store is opening today. She has been out for almost two hours. I wonder if business is good and if she's very busy..."

Lu Bei answered casually "Okay, I'll just eat a little. Tell the kitchen not to make anything special."

Sitting at the dining table, Lu Bei held the steamed bun in his hand as he pondered. He rarely met his stepmother, or rather, he was trying his best to reduce the chances of meeting her. The less time they spent together, the fewer conflicts they would have. This was the conclusion he came to from his mother's several marriages.

But now, he could no longer stay out of her way. His friend's words were disrespectful to her, and he needed to do something to make up for it. However, if he were to seriously apologize to Xiang Xiaoyuan in front of her, he would be a little embarrassed..

"Uncle Liu, do you think that her convenience store will be very busy?"

Butler Liu paused his work and replied with a smile, "It should be. Madam has a good personality and gets along very well with her neighbors. Everyone will go to the convenience store when it opens."

Lu Bei nodded perfunctorily. "Oh, I see."

He finished the bun in his hand in one go and sat there for a while. Then, he stole a glance at his surroundings. After making sure that no one noticed him, he walked to the door to change his shoes. His hand stopped on the doorknob for a few seconds, after taking a deep breath, he turned the doorknob and strode out.

Butler Liu had watched Lu Bei grow up and knew his personality very well. After Lu Bei had left the door, he walked out from the shadows. He stood in front of the French window and watched Lu Bei walk out of the garden and straight to the entrance of the community. After he had completely disappeared, he turned around and revealed a gratified smile.

Butler Liu was old and believed that he was a good judge of character. He felt that Madam was a good person.

She was good-looking and had a good personality. She did not have any bad intentions. She was full of energy all day long, adding a lot of color to the dull home. With such a mistress in the villa, he believed that the lives of the master and young master would become more colorful in the future.

The master and his wife would have to support each other for the rest of their lives. He personally hoped that the young master and Madam could get along harmoniously and not make things too difficult for the master.

Although Wei Zihang was affected by Lu Bei's words the night before, he still came the next morning as promised to support the opening of the convenience store.

The reason he gave himself was that a man should be honest and keep his word. Since he had promised to come, he had to come even if he got into a car accident! However, about bringing people to the party... he had ignored it. With that money, wasn't it better to buy gaming equipment? Wouldn't it be nice to save it and treat Brother Bei to a meal?

Xiang Xiaoyuan wanted to ask him why he was here, he'd say that he did not know many people and had few friends, so he could not bring anyone. In any case, Xiang Xiaoyuan was going to become the wife of the richest person in the world. When her son inherited the Lu family's estate and she became the biological mother of the richest person in the world, she probably would not be short of money.

As they walked, Wei Zihang and Lu Bei bumped into each other at the entrance of the convenience store.

Wei Zihang: "? ? ?"

Lu Bei: "..."

Wei Zihang was so shocked that his pupils dilated! It was one thing for Brother Bei to give up on inheriting a huge fortune, but why did he come over to help his stepmother in the convenience store on the day of opening?! He could not understand it!

However, what was even more shocking was still to come... Wei Zihang looked at Xu Xiyao, who was publicly acknowledged as the study god in the school, standing seriously at the cash register to collect money. His entire being was shaken.

Why? What was happening?

He opened his mouth wide and pointed at Xu Xiyao, and his voice couldn't help but be sharp. "Xu Xiyao, why are you here too?!"

Lu Bei: "? ?"

Xiang Xiaoyuan: "? ? ?"

Alright, she thought about why she found the name Xu Xiyao familiar. At the last parent-teacher conference, Xu Xiyao's name was at the top of the list, being envied by countless parents. Even she paid more attention to it. But she didn't expect that Xu Xiyao would actually come to work at her convenience store!

Wasn't the world in this novel too small!

Xiang Xiaoyuan closed her mouth and asked, "Didn't you say that you turned 18?"

If she was Lu Bei's classmate, their age shouldn't be much different.

Xu Xiyao's expression did not change. "I went to school later than them."

Xiang Xiaoyuan patted her chest. Then it did not matter. She did not hire any underage workers.

She recalled the description of Xu Xiyao in the novel. After thinking for a long time, she still could not think of anything. This character seemed even less significant than her?

But the question was... Such a handsome young man with good grades was not worthy of having his own love story and plot in the novel? The study god was actually reduced to an insignificant side character, where was the logic in this?
