Chapter 302 A hopeless case

Lu Niao almost lost her temper, but thinking about the people coming and going in the hall, she forced herself to suppress the urge to retort and said innocently, "Rebecca, you misunderstood."

“I don’t know Karina at all. We’ve barely even exchanged a few words. How could I have conspired to harm you?” She bit her lip, looking aggrieved and accusing. “You beat me in Paris before, and I was indeed unconvinced, so I arranged this performance to prove you wrong with my skills.”

“However…” A dark glint flashed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared. “Your work has received widespread acclaim, even my grandfather loves it. This time I’m truly impressed. Seeing how much my grandfather likes you, it’s only a matter of time before you win the bid for Strange Kingdom. Let’s still be friends.”

Su Youling curled her lips and saw Lu Mingxuan walking towards them. Suddenly, she grabbed her wrist and said sarcastically, "Your sullen and pretentious manner is a disgrace to the Lu family. Just now on stage, I was originally going to let it go for the sake of the Lu family."

"But since you're so eager to be tortured, I'm not going to play the saintly white lotus anymore." She suddenly raised her hand and went behind her, suddenly exerting force as if to rip open her zipper. "Today, I'll give you a taste of your own medicine and let you try running naked in public."

"Ah! Get away!" Lu Niao was startled and instinctively pushed her away, cursing with a livid face, "You crazy woman, you don't know what's good for you, don't touch me!"

"Ah!" Su Youling fell backward, her wrists having found a good position to brace against the railing, but unexpectedly, she grabbed the man's arm instead.

Depend on!

Why is it that bastard again?

It's like a persistent ghost.

"Watch out!" Li Tingxi instinctively put his arm around her shoulder, half-hugging and half-embracing her protectively in his arms, looking at Lu Niao coldly, "You dare to hurt her?"

"Mr. Li, it wasn't me!" Lu Niao's face turned pale and then red. She hurriedly stepped forward and tried to grab Li Tingxi's hand to explain, "It was all this bitch who deliberately framed me. She was just about to unzip my zipper to get revenge on me..."

Su Youling pushed Li Tingxi away and coldly rebuked, "So, Miss Lu admits that you deliberately arranged for me to fall on stage just now?"

"Is wearing a skirt so embarrassing?"

Her voice wasn't too loud or too soft, but the commotion over there had been quite loud, so it had attracted a lot of attention.

Upon hearing this, the guests all turned to look in this direction, pricking up their ears to hear the gossip.

"You're talking nonsense..." Lu Niao felt extremely ashamed, especially for leaving such an embarrassing impression in front of Li Tingxi. It was all because of that bitch Rebecca.

Seeing Li Tingxi's cold gaze, as if he were looking at an enemy, her rationality completely collapsed. "You framed me! You're the one who's a green tea bitch, a slut!"

Lu Niao rushed over and tried to grab Su Youling to tear her apart, but Li Tingxi pushed her heavily to the ground. "Try touching her again!"

"President Li?" Lu Niao looked at the cold and ruthless man from the ground in disbelief.

She is, after all, the granddaughter of the Lu family, and this is Lu family territory!

Why would Li Tingxi be so rude to her for the sake of this insignificant woman?

Does he like Rebecca?

In what way does she fall short of Rebecca?

"Wow!" Everyone got excited when they saw this.

Li Tingxi and Rebecca have really gotten entangled.

The stand-in trope is back; there's more drama to come.

Some people instinctively looked for Karina, only to find that she had disappeared after Li Tingxi left the exhibition stage.

Did she run away in fear upon seeing a new rival?

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic gossip, Su Youling felt uncomfortable. Without making a sound, she pushed Li Tingxi away and whispered a warning, "President Li, this is my private matter and has nothing to do with you. Please don't meddle."

"

Li Tingxi looked down at her, seemingly relieved only after confirming she wasn't hurt. "Lu Niao harmed you, and I saved you. So, I'm one of the participants. How can that be considered meddling?"

Su Youling "..."

Five years have passed, where has his aloofness and taciturnity gone?

Who taught you to be so sharp-tongued?

Just as he was about to chase them away, Lu Mingxuan rushed over. Hearing everyone's discussion about Lu Niao and the Lu family, his face turned pale. "Lu Niao, who let you out? Didn't I tell you to go back to your room?"

He was still trying to figure out how to appease Rebecca when that brat started causing trouble again!

Lu Mingxuan pulled Lu Niao up, intending to have someone take her back, but she suddenly struggled violently and pushed him away without any sense of decency. "Get out of my way! You all side with this scheming and treacherous bitch. I know men fall for her."

Seeing the sudden darkening of Li Tingxi and Rebecca's faces, Lu Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly grabbed Lu Niao and scolded, "Shut up! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?"

Even if you offend Rebecca, there's still room for maneuver.

If Lu Niao were to recklessly offend Li Tingxi, the entire Lu family would be implicated.

This girl is so arrogant and ignorant.

Just as the uncle and nephew were staring at each other, Old Master Lu and his wife hurriedly walked through the crowd and asked, "What's going on? Why is Niao Niao crying?"

"Xuanzi, why are you being so rough with Niaoniao? Let go of her!" The old lady pulled Lu Mingxuan's hand away and was about to pull Lu Niaoniao to comfort her when she was pushed away violently. "Don't touch me! Don't you think I'm a disgrace? Fine, I won't be a member of the Lu family anymore."

The old lady lost her balance and nearly fell.

"Madam, be careful." Su Youling quickly caught her, looking at the unreasonable Lu Niao with disgust. "Miss Lu, you've gone too far!"

Lu Mingxuan quickly protected the heartbroken old lady, "Mom! Don't spoil Lu Niao, I'm going to teach her a lesson today."

The best course of action now is to take Lu Niao away as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the scheme against Rebecca blows up, how will Lu Niao face people in the industry afterward? And how will the Lu family maintain its standing?

My parents value their reputation so much that they're bound to get sick from worry.

"Lu Niao, come upstairs with me!" Lu Mingxuan rarely treated people so sternly. His gentle demeanor was gone, replaced by a frosty expression. He grabbed Lu Niao and dragged her upstairs.

"Let me go! You're not my parents, what right do you have to tell me what to do?" Lu Niao kicked and punched, her tearful eyes never leaving Li Tingxi.

Seeing how miserable she was, he remained completely unmoved?

His eyes and heart were filled with nothing but that wretched woman, Rebecca.

That's so unfair!

Why does everyone like this scheming, manipulative woman?

Just as he was feeling indignant, suddenly—

Snap!

Grandpa Lu walked over and slapped her across the face without saying a word, showing no mercy. "Have you gone crazy enough?"

"Grandpa?" Lu Niao asked incredulously.

The two elders scolded her again, all for Rebecca's sake?

"Your uncle has no right to discipline you, but what about your grandmother and me?" Old Master Lu's face turned ashen with anger, his eyes filled with disappointment. "Your parents died young, and we raised you single-handedly. It's our fault for spoiling you too much, which has led to your unruly and spoiled personality."

"Grandpa! What did I do to deserve your repeated reprimands?" Lu Niao remained stubborn and unrepentant, feeling like the most miserable person in the world.

Su Youling shook her head.

You can't make a good impression on someone who's already rotten.

The Lu family is so open-minded and magnanimous, how could they have raised such a bad granddaughter?
