Chapter 1252

With that, Mrs. Le threw the apron on her. It was an obvious order.

“Go out and receive Margaret Swanson properly. Today is just a casual chat between the parents of both sides. If you don’t want to talk, shut your mouth and sit there laughing.”

Le Qing was shocked.

She had never seen her mother speak so harshly.

It could be seen that her mother really valued this marriage.

But… what if she married Ulric Swanson, Mabel Fox? Le Qing’s emotions were extremely complicated.

She handed the apron to the servant in the scullery almost in a daze and followed Mrs. Le out.

“Aiyo, Mrs. Margaret Swanson. It’s been a long time since we last met. Why are you younger than before?” Mrs. Le went forward to welcome him in an exaggerated manner.

Everyone liked to listen to nice words.

Margaret Swanson was grinning from ear to ear, but he still said, “Look at what you’re saying. Can an octogenarian old lady like me come back to life?”

Mrs. Le took Margaret Swanson from Mrs. Chai.

“I’m not spouting nonsense. It’s true. Your complexion is much better than the last time I saw you. Those who don’t know might think that you’re in your early fifties this year.” “Hahahaha…” Margaret Swanson laughed and called Melody Fox over. “If you say you look good, it’s all thanks to Melody. Melody. Come, say hello.”

When she entered, she saw Melody Fox sitting on the sofa in the living room alone. There was not even a single owner in the house.

It was obvious that he had been left out.

Immediately, Margaret Swanson felt a little uncomfortable with the Le Family.

However, Margaret Swanson was Margaret Swanson after all. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she did not show it on her face. She only called Melody Fox over.

Melody Fox walked over with a smile and greeted Mrs. Le politely, “Hello, Auntie Le.”

Mrs. Le smiled stiffly. “Hello, hello. I was busy in the kitchen just now. I wanted to come out and greet you, but I was afraid that the dishes would be burnt. I’m really sorry…”

Mrs. Le was also a smart person. She could tell why Margaret Swanson had asked Melody Fox to especially greet her and immediately began to explain.

Melody Fox quickly waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine.

Leqing told me that you’re busy. It’s fine. You don’t have to be embarrassed.”

Mrs. Le nodded and smiled, but she did not dare to neglect Melody Fox anymore.

After pouring water for Margaret Swanson, she even personally poured water for Melody Fox.

However, she was puzzled. Why did Margaret Swanson value the Fox family so much?

Could it be that the rumors were true? Margaret Swanson was seriously ill, and it was this abandoned daughter who cured Margaret Swanson?

This could only be the case. Otherwise, she could not think of any other reason why Margaret Swanson would value this abandoned daughter of the Fox family so much.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the servants behind Margaret Swanson carrying bags of gifts. She immediately changed the topic.

“Aiyo, Mrs. Margaret Swanson, you can just come alone. Why did you bring so many things?”

Margaret Swanson smiled and said, “How can you come empty-handed? Didn’t Le Qing bring a bunch of supplements every time she came to the house these two days? Don’t stand on ceremony. I’ll accept it.”

“Then I’ll shamelessly accept it.”

The two parties chatted for a while before Mrs. Le called for the servants to serve the dishes.

“I don’t know if my dishes are to your or Melody’s liking…”

Margaret Swanson nodded and praised, “This dish looks delicious. I didn’t expect you to have such skills. It’s been hard on you today.”

Mrs. Le said with a smile in her eyes, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard. Our families will come and go often in the future.” Margaret Swanson smiled without saying anything.

This made Mrs. Le a little nervous.

What was the meaning of this?

Before long, Mr. Le rushed back.

He apologized to Margaret Swanson as soon as he entered. “I’m really sorry, Margaret Swanson. I originally planned not to go to the company today, but there’s a document that needs my signature at Fox. This round trip has delayed Fox rooms.”

“It’s fine. The dishes are already served. Sit down and eat with us.”

“Sure thing.”

Mr. Le pulled out a chair and ate while taking the opportunity to chat with Margaret Swanson.

“I heard that Master Ting’s leg is almost healed?”

Margaret Swanson grunted and said, “He said that he found a famous doctor, but from what I see, there’s a high chance that he worked hard to slowly train his legs back.”

Mr. Le did not dare to mention the matter of Ulric Swanson’s leg. He was afraid that it would implicate the feud between the Swanson family brothers, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about Le Qing.

He was talking about Le Qing’s achievements in the past few years.

As for Melody Fox, he was just a decoration. Other than Margaret Swanson who would occasionally tease her, the Le family almost never took the initiative to talk to her.

However, Melody Fox was also happy to be free. She sat quietly by the side and ate.

To be honest, Mrs. Le’s culinary skills were not bad.

However, there were a few dishes that were slightly lacking in heat control.

Melody Fox was grading the dishes in his heart. Margaret Swanson stood up and said, “I’ve disturbed you for a long time. You still have a show in the afternoon. I won’t delay your business. That’s all for today. Come to my place for dinner another day.”

The Le Family members hurriedly stood up.

“You don’t have to leave in such a hurry. There are professionals watching the show. We don’t have to go over too early.”

“That’s right, Mrs. Margaret Swanson. Please sit for a while longer.”

Le Qing also said, “Margaret, have a glass of coffee before you leave.”

Margaret Swanson insisted on leaving.

“I also want to sit for a while longer, but I’m old and sleep a lot during the day. Look, it’s my afternoon nap in room Fox.”

As soon as he said this, the Le family could not say anything else. They could only send Margaret Swanson out.

Just as Fox Hou was about to leave, Le Qing suddenly grabbed Melody Fox’s hand.

“Melody, there’s something I don’t know if I can trouble you with…”

Everyone in Room Fox looked over.

Melody Fox maintained a polite smile and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s like this. I just received a call. A model, Lin Fox, ran into some trouble and couldn’t make it. I see that your body proportions are very good. You’re tall and thin, and your temperament matches the temperament of my work. Can you help that model act as Lin Fox this afternoon?”

A dark glint flashed across Melody Fox’s eyes.

After a long afternoon, was the show that Le Qing had been waiting for finally about to begin?

Before Melody Fox could speak, Le Qing continued, “You don’t have to worry about anything else. For this show, the models will wear spaghetti models. As long as you wear spaghetti models, no one will know who you are.”

She lowered her head and said anxiously, “I’m sorry to trouble you, but I couldn’t find anyone who could wear the gown I designed. That was the finale piece… But when I saw your back just now, I suddenly felt that you were the owner of that gown.”

“If you can help me, I can give you that dress.”

“Can I? Melody? Just take it that I owe you a favor.”

Le Qing’s eyes were red, and there was an irresistible look of pity in her eyes.
