Lu Sheng did indeed dress very casually to school today, merely throwing on a comfortable T-shirt and shorts in the morning.
She and Juanjuan had left their clothes for today at the store overnight, planning to change into them at the store when it opened for business.
If she had come wearing those clothes, it would have been inconvenient, and she would have drawn too much attention on the way, which she didn’t like to attract.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qianrou, seeing her dressed so casually, seemed to have finally found an opportunity to mock her. She deliberately cozied up and put on an act of thoughtful, sisterly affection.
Which made Lu Sheng feel nauseous.
But it had to be said, her act was really convincing.
As soon as she had spoken, people around them started to praise her.
"Indeed fitting for a legitimate precious daughter, so magnanimous. To be so good to an illegitimate sister, truly kind-hearted."
"Yes, custom clothes from The Thorn Birds are so expensive, a well-bred person really has a bigger picture in mind, valuing family more than money."
"But asking whether sponsorship has fallen through is a bit of a sting. Who has Miss Lu associated with? Her own brother is a top celebrity, her best friend is a popular young actress, and her boyfriend’s sister is a corporate president – giving a sponsorship of a million just like that."
"What kind of wealthy people could an illegitimate girl from the countryside get to know in Jiang City? It’d be weird if someone sponsored her, that question was indeed a bit heart-piercing."
"Eh? Speaking of top celebrities, why didn’t Lu Ziye come with his sister?"
"Lu Qianrou came with Yao Xuantong. It’s said that Lu Ziye hates being involved in celebrity gossip, so he probably avoided it on purpose."
Lu Qianrou was counting on the presence of so many onlookers; her remarks made in such a setting would leave Lu Sheng with no choice but to not openly contradict her, otherwise she would definitely be slandered by the public.
In doing so, she not only managed to belittle Lu Sheng in front of everyone but also showcased her own kind and magnanimous image – killing two birds with one stone.
Indeed, Lu Sheng did not contradict her.
Or rather, she couldn’t be bothered to.
Playing these sorts of manipulative games with Lu Qianrou for an audience of onlookers, to her, was simply too degrading.
So she simply pulled her hand back, giving Lu Qianrou a cold look: "Are you done? I need to go into school if you are."
Clearly, the onlookers were not satisfied with Lu Sheng’s reaction and began to feel indignant on Lu Qianrou’s behalf.
"What’s that about? Miss Lu came over with good intentions to show concern, and this illegitimate girl is putting on airs, so dismissive!"
"Exactly! Miss Lu didn’t even disdain her status as an illegitimate daughter, and she’s publicly calling her ’sister’ in front of the cameras. And look at her, making her sister kiss up to her cold ass."
"It makes sense though, it’s jealousy! Born from the same father, yet one is the legitimate daughter and the other is illegitimate, one rich, beautiful, and graceful, the other nothing – there’s bound to be imbalance in her heart."
"I truly feel sorry for sister Qianrou, having such a sister; who knows how much she has to endure at home every day."
As soon those around her started to say this, Lu Qianrou’s eyes immediately reddened.
She was the epitome of a pure white lotus, looking forbearing and aggrieved, timidly withdrawing her hand and giving Lu Sheng a reddened-eyed glance.
"...Sister, I was just worried about you, I didn’t mean any harm."
"If you think I’m annoying, I’ll talk less around you in the future."
Seeing Lu Qianrou put on such an aggrieved facade, Yao Xuantong, who was beside her, couldn’t just watch.
On her way here, Lu Qianrou had told her about the Lu Family taking in an illegitimate daughter.
Furthermore, Lu Qianrou made a point of emphasizing in front of her that Lu Sheng always intentionally flaunted herself in front of Lu Ziye, trying to catch his attention.
Seeing Lu Sheng today, she indeed looked the part of a vixen.
So young and already so scheming, trying to win the favor of her top star brother, truly a shameless and despicable creature.
With her contemptible background, it would be odd if Lu Ziye gave her the time of day!
