Gu Jianbin and Gu Jianli, the two brothers, had always been focused on Lu Siyuan, completely overlooking the young girl behind him.
It was not until Lu Siyuan shifted his body that they noticed Shen Mianmian.
She was not tall and her clothes were simple, but she looked very clean and refreshing, and her beauty was rare. Her large eyes resembled the glass marbles children played with, particularly striking.
As they sized up Shen Mianmian, she was also taking them in.
She had expected to want to tear into the two men upon seeing them, but when they were actually in front of her, she was surprisingly calm.
She did not avoid their gaze at all.
Gu Jianbin resembled their father, with well-proportioned features and good skin, coupled with a height of 1.78 meters, fitting the image of a sunny, campus heartthrob perfectly.
She had always liked this type of boy, so her eyes were drawn to him at first sight.
So much so that she ignored the fact that he was still a student, incapable of marrying her, and she went straight to marrying into the family, which led to her downfall.
Turning her gaze to Gu Jianli, a flash of disgust suddenly appeared in her eyes.
He resembled Wang Erfeng with a sharp and mean appearance, a face full of acne, a large dark mole at the corner of his mouth, and stubble reaching down to his cheeks. He also limped when he walked. Despite such an appearance, relying on his family fortune, he still sought a beautiful wife.
Seeing Shen Mianmian staring blankly at the two brothers and not leaving, Lu Siyuan felt frustrated. Just now, he had been thinking how clever she was, so why couldn’t she read the room now?
Didn’t she notice the lecherous looks on the brothers’ faces? For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
He urged her, annoyed, "What are you spacing out for? Let’s go!"
Before Shen Mianmian could respond, Gu Jianbin, who had recovered from his surprise, said, "Don’t go yet, since you said it’s fabric, why not open the bag and show us."
As a scholar, Gu Jianbin’s attitude was still somewhat acceptable.
He did not throw a tantrum like Wang Erfeng nor did he roar without understanding the situation like Gu Jianli.
"If we didn’t take it, then we didn’t. This is my own purchase; why should I show you?" Lu Siyuan, young and impetuous, felt he was not in the wrong and was unwilling to bow down.
Gu Jianli challenged, "Then if you don’t show us, how can you prove you didn’t take it?"
His attitude, compared to earlier, could not have been more different, and after speaking, he specifically glanced at Shen Mianmian.
Honestly, this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful young girl in his life.
"Just show them," Shen Mianmian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.
With both Jianli and Jianbin plus Wang Erfeng, there were three of them, and if a fight broke out, she and Lu Siyuan would be at a disadvantage.
Gu Jianli was somewhat foolish and blindly filial by nature. Although Jianbin had a temper that was fairly easygoing and wasn’t one to bully or fight, he too was very obedient.
She had hit Wang Erfeng, and if they couldn’t prove they hadn’t stolen anything and that it was Wang Erfeng who had falsely accused them, the Gu brothers would definitely not let them leave.
Of course, she knew they could call the police, but doing so would waste a lot of time. Besides, since she had hit someone, she didn’t have much of a leg to stand on.
Lu Siyuan was still somewhat resentful, but he was not foolish either. Taking into account that Mianmian had spoken, he reluctantly opened the bag and shook out the fabric, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, is this your merchandise?"
Gu Jianbin and Gu Jianli both turned toward Wang Erfeng.
"Mom, what’s going on?"
Both were thinking that this must be another one of their mother’s deliberate provocations.
Upon seeing the fabric, Wang Erfeng’s eyes lit up.
Wow, there must be at least five or six meters of fabric, enough to make two sets of clothes. The two kids looked so destitute, and yet they could afford so much fabric.
