Chapter 21: It’s Fake, Don’t Believe It
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Mian locked herself in the room for two days.
When she was hungry or thirsty, she would head to the refrigerator in the kitchen and look for food, making it past the weekend.
She wore Kun Peng Middle School’s uniform and appeared in the living room punctually.
The sky blue and white loose sports attire made her skin look even whiter and colder, but she looked good in it.
Fu Man walked out wearing an apron and forced out a smile. She asked, “Mianmian, I made breakfast. Do you want some?”
Other mothers would always directly tell their children to come and eat and not ask them if they wanted to.
However, it was a polite question for Fu Man.
Perhaps she was seeking Lu Mian’s opinion, but she had already treated Lu Family as an outsider subconsciously.
Lu Mian frowned and her gaze swept past Lu Xinnuan, who was drinking her milk obediently. She joked nonchalantly, “Will you two have the appetite to eat if I eat with you?”
She carried her bag and walked towards the door.
“Mianmian, wait a minute!” Fu Man hurriedly yelled after her and wiped her hands against her apron. “Your Uncle told me about the Su family’s banquet. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Elder Su invited you to go over…?”
She was too angry back then and said some hurtful words.
She wanted to explain to her a few times, but she was always stopped by that icy door.
She still could not face this daughter calmly.
Lu Xinnuan walked out from the dining room. “Yeah, Sister. You should’ve told us earlier, so Mom wouldn’t have misunderstood you. Also, Grandpa Su clarified that you’ve driven the bad guys away. Sis, did you really save us?”
Lu Mian did not know about this. She squinted her eyes to think for a while and understood what happened.
Xiao Qimo and the rest were probably the ones who told Elder Su.
Was there a point in saying it? None at all. They never believed her when she told the truth, but when she told a lie…
Lu Mian hooked her bag frivolously and spun it around her finger. A light and cold laughter escaped from her lips.
She tilted her head and was extremely cynical.
“It’s fake, don’t believe it.”
Lu Xinnuan heaved a sigh of relief as she knew that it was fake a long time ago. Even though she had exposed Lu Mian’s little tricks, she was still pretty disturbed. After all, Grandpa Su was very protective of her and had even ruined the banquet that day…
Forget it, I’ll just wait for another chance to strengthen my relationship with Grandpa Su.
She walked forward and hugged Lu Mian sincerely.
Lu Mian was pretty irritated and avoided her.
“Sis…” Lu Xinnuan touched her nose awkwardly. “I have no other intentions… I’m just worried that you’ll get injured after encountering bad guys. Even though you’ve been pretty good at fighting since young, we’re still different from those people after all…”
This sentence made Fu Man’s heart jump in fear. She did not know the details, but she understood the main point of the sentence. She hurriedly reminded Lu Mian, “Mianmian, you’re not allowed to fight in the future!”
“Of course.” Lu Mian nodded readily. “Is there anything else?”
“Um… do you still blame me?” asked Fu Man softly, after mustering up her courage.
Lu Xinnuan had a strange expression at the side.
Lu Mian smiled and her good-looking eyes curved up wildly. Her five intricate features were flawless.
She was really pretty, and looked good no matter what expression she made.
She looked relieved towards this woman’s ambiguous questioning, as she picked up her bag, waved her hands and walked out casually.
Fu Man was stumped. “What does she mean?”
Lu Xinnuan pressed her lips against each other tightly and was silent.
Her Sister’s return only gave the family deep-seated guilt and flaw, instead of pride and happiness.
