Whether what she said was true or not, her disrespect for the elders was an established fact.
If Wang Pan wanted to work in those elders' homes in the future, she would surely be excluded.
With Wang Pan's departure, this farce came to an end.
Xu Qingqing won the first place, and immediately many people came to congratulate her.
Many of these people were strangers to Xu Qingqing. Some even wanted to toast her, which made Xu Qingqing quite troubled for a while.
Lu Chuanbai silently stood beside her and blocked those who wanted to toast her.
"Miss Xu is now an employee of my cousin. In other words, she is like a member of our Lu family. I'll drink these toasts on her behalf."
While blocking the drinks, Lu Chuanbai gave a very reasonable explanation.
Xu Qingqing watched Lu Chuanbai block the toasts again and again. A slight warmth welled up in her heart.
"Actually, you don't have to do this. I can drink a little."
Xu Qingqing leaned closer to him and whispered.
Lu Chuanbai's face was already a bit flushed. He looked at Xu Qingqing with hazy eyes. "As long as I'm by your side, there's no need for you to drink."
It took Lu Qi a great deal of effort to break free. He immediately rushed to Xu Qingqing's side and found that Lu Chuanbai was already drunk.
"Hey, what's going on? Why did he drink so much? Qingqing, hurry up and help him into the car. Send him back quickly. If he stays here any longer, he'll be completely drunk."
"I know you don't like the hustle and bustle. Hurry up and take him away. Leave the rest to me."
Lu Qi instructed. Xu Qingqing nodded and thanked him repeatedly. "Okay, thank you, Brother Qi."
Xu Qingqing helped Lu Chuanbai into the car. Lu Chuanbai was already a bit unconscious. Xu Qingqing helplessly fastened his seat - belt.
Looking at Lu Chuanbai's drunken face, Xu Qingqing was momentarily in a daze.
The time when the two of them were quietly together like this was too rare.
Five years ago, arranged by Lu Fenglin, she went to serve Lu Chuanbai. At that time, Lu Chuanbai had a bad temper and always gave her a cold look.
Five years later, when she returned, Lu Chuanbai no longer remembered her from the past.
When facing her new identity, Lu Chuanbai was indeed very polite.
But it was precisely this politeness and courtesy that made Xu Qingqing feel extremely uncomfortable.
In the past, because she was ugly, Lu Chuanbai disliked and looked down on her. Now that she had regained her original appearance, Lu Chuanbai began to get close to and flatter her.
Xu Qingqing always felt that she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.
In the end, she said nothing and directly took Lu Chuanbai to the Xu family.
Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi saw Xu Qingqing helping Lu Chuanbai out of the car. The two children immediately walked over.
"Mummy, what's wrong with Uncle Lu? Is he drunk? Mummy, let me help you support Uncle Lu."
Xu Yiyi said very sensibly and wanted to reach out to help, but he was too short to reach Lu Chuanbai's shoulders.
Xu Qingqing smiled helplessly. "Come on, don't make trouble here. Hurry up and ask your uncle to come and help me carry him in."
As she was speaking, Xu Yan had already walked out.
Seeing Lu Chuanbai beside Xu Qingqing, Xu Yan's face immediately darkened.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from the Lu brothers? Why did you bring him home?"
"Wait, this stench of alcohol. What did he do? Did he stick to you after getting drunk?"
While complaining, Xu Yan still took Lu Chuanbai over and helped him into the house.
Only then did Xu Qingqing have a chance to explain. "I won the first place in the copy - painting competition arranged by Brother Qi. Then many people wanted to toast me. Lu Chuanbai got drunk while blocking the drinks for me, so I brought him back. After all, this matter was caused by me."
Hearing that Lu Chuanbai got drunk while blocking drinks for Xu Qingqing, Xu Yan's expression softened a bit.
"Humph, it's a man's duty to block drinks for a woman. But he's so useless. After just a little bit of drinking, he's already drunk like this. How much drink could he actually block?"
Hearing Xu Yan's merciless disdain for Lu Chuanbai, Xu Qingqing looked at him helplessly. "Brother, stop criticizing others. You yourself can't even handle three cups."
Hearing this, Xu Yan glared at Xu Qingqing. "Whose side are you on? When your brother is talking, you should just support your brother."
Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi didn't know what had happened, but they were very happy with the result.
After Xu Qingqing got home, she started to make some sobering soup for Lu Chuanbai.
When Lu Chuanbai woke up, he heard the voices of children quarreling. He opened his eyes and saw Xu An'an and Xu Yiyi.
The two children were playing with building blocks on the carpet in front of the sofa. Seeing Lu Chuanbai wake up, Xu An'an immediately came over. "Uncle Lu, you're finally awake. Mummy specially made sobering soup for you before. It must be the effect of Mummy's sobering soup."
Xu Yiyi immediately put down his toys and ran towards Lu Chuanbai.
"Uncle Lu, Mummy said you got drunk while blocking drinks for her, right?"
"Uncle Lu, I heard that Mummy won the first place. Was it very glorious? Uncle Lu, tell us quickly."
The two children had a lot of questions and bombarded Lu Chuanbai with them.
Lu Chuanbai smiled helplessly.
When he opened his mouth, he found his throat was a bit hoarse.
"An'an, could you please give uncle a glass of water first? Uncle's throat is a bit uncomfortable."
As soon as Lu Chuanbai spoke, the two children noticed something was wrong and quickly and eagerly poured him a glass of water.
Lu Chuanbai held the two children in his arms, one on each side, and began to tell them about the copy - painting competition.
"Your mummy was really glorious. All those masters of copy - painting were very impressed by your mummy's works..."
When Xu Qingqing came out with a fruit plate, she heard Lu Chuanbai telling the two children about her glorious deeds. Things that seemed ordinary to her sounded like the stories of a great hero in Lu Chuanbai's mouth.
Xu An'an listened intently. After Lu Chuanbai finished speaking, she immediately stood up and clapped her hands. "An'an knew Mummy was the best."
"An'an will learn from Mummy in the future, learn to appraise cultural relics and copy ancient paintings well, and must bring honor to the Xu family!"
Looking at Xu An'an's ambitious look, Lu Chuanbai's eyes were full of doting. He couldn't help but touch Xu An'an's head. "Okay, An'an is so amazing. You can learn whatever you want. Uncle Lu will support you."
Xu Yiyi nodded like a little adult. "Since my sister wants to learn to appraise antiques and copy ancient paintings, I won't compete with her for this job. I just want to be a male star, sing, dance, and become an idol for the whole nation!"
