Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 227

Although he didn’t like coriander for many years, Lu Ting had become accustomed to it. Sometimes when eating coriander, he would subconsciously force himself to eat it.

But in reality, he still didn’t like it very much.

“I didn’t expect you to notice this about me. You’re really attentive. You’re right, I don’t actually like coriander at all. I have no fondness for it and wouldn’t want to eat it at all.

It’s just that back then, our family conditions were average, so even if I didn’t like something, I still had to eat it. Looking back, maybe that’s the shadow it left on me.”

Considering this, Sheng Fei could understand Lu Ting’s tragic background.

After all, she had dealt with Li Pandi and Xu Yuxia a few times. Old people like them were stubborn and had their own ways of thinking.

If their children dared to go against them, Li Pandi would show extreme displeasure. People could even guess the reasons for Li Pandi’s dislike of Lu Yi and the five children.

Aside from Li Pandi’s hatred for their biological mother Shen Qin, it was likely that Lu Yi often went against her and didn’t listen to her.

After all, she had heard Lu Ting mentioned that Lu Yi caused quite a stir over the splitting of the family, and Li Pandi had a particularly cold attitude towards Shen Qin. At that time, the relationship between Lu Yi and Li Pandi was extremely awkward.

This was why Li Pandi disliked Shen Qin, Lu Yi, and even more so, the five children.

Currently, Li Pandi had several grandchildren from her eldest son, Lu Jiefang. Since she already had grandsons to carry on the family line, she saw even less reason to care for Lu Yi’s five children.

“I actually noticed that your mood hasn’t been good since you came in. Is there something going on with your business?”

Recently, Lu Ting hadn’t been working at his original factory. He seemed to be starting his own venture with friends and trying to secure business.

It was unclear whether he was making money, but it seemed he was working hard.

At the beginning, things were certainly busy.

And from what Lu Ting said, he was likely working for others first to learn the skills before running his own operations.

For someone like him who was born in the countryside without any connections, it meant starting from the bottom and working his way up. Sheng Fei could empathize with Lu Ting’s struggles.

That’s why she was willing to support him and help take care of the five children when she could.

If Lu Ting were to become a big shot in the future, he wouldn’t hold a grudge against Sheng Fei.

After all, people strive to rise while water flows downwards. Sheng Fei herself wasn’t making a lot of money but hoped to hold on to others’ abilities.

This was the reality.

Although Sheng Fei could earn money now, she viewed it as small change. She still had some desires and ambitions and wasn’t satisfied with just earning a little.

If she could invest in these big shots from the beginning or work for them to earn money and forming good relationships, it would give her a big advantage later on.

“I do have something bothering me lately, but it’s not business-related.”

Lu Ting hesitated and looked at Sheng Fei, unsure how to persuade her. He also didn’t know how to explain it.

Given Sheng Fei’s personality, she might not get angry, but it still felt somewhat inappropriate.

Moreover, Lu Ting didn’t know what Sheng Fei was thinking, so he hesitated for a long time and felt particularly troubled. He didn’t say anything to her.
