Chapter 52 Birthday Party 3

Lu Xiaoran had never liked Lu Wantang since childhood, not because of her green tea behavior of crying and complaining at every turn, but because she liked to act weak. Before Su Yu returned to the Lu family, Lu Wantang didn't cry much and never hesitated when speaking.

After all, she was the Lu family's adored eldest daughter. A frown would draw a swarm of people rushing to her aid, so why would she need to whine and stammer? Before she even cried, countless protectors had already stepped forward. She did cry, but that was only when she'd found something she desperately wanted or suffered a profound injustice. So, every time she cried, it caused a major stir in the Lu family.

At that time, Lu Wantang didn't need to cry or stammer, but she also liked to play weak and often put herself in a weak position. For example, when Lu Xiaoran and Lu Wantang were fighting when they were young, no matter who started the fight, it was always Lu Xiaoran who got criticized and punished. Because after each fight, Lu Wantang would pout, rub the place where Lu Xiaoran had touched her, and complain with a look of grievance: "I'm a girl, I'm afraid of pain, and my brother is a man and he won't let me."

Then, the whole family came together and began to educate Lu Xiaoran at length, telling him to be humble, completely ignoring the fact that Lu Xiaoran was already gasping for breath in pain.

For example, Lu Wantang was playing with some cousins ​​and accidentally got a minor bruise. A normal child would have just brought the injury to their parents and acted cute, and that would have been the end of it. But Lu Wantang was different. The moment she got hurt, she would withdraw from the crowd and stay alone, not crying, making a fuss, or saying anything. It wasn't until the adults noticed something was wrong and approached her to question her that she pouting and aggrievedly admitting she was hurt.

Afterwards, naturally, all the cousins ​​were taught by their parents to take care of their younger siblings.

As a child, Lu Xiaoran didn't understand these things. She only knew that whether at home or outside, she had to give in to her sister, be close to her sister, and never let her get hurt or cry. It wasn't until she grew up and understood more that Lu Xiaoran understood the twists and turns. Lu Wantang's actions of pretending to be weak were all for the sake of attracting attention and making adults feel sorry for her.

It’s not that he has any ulterior motives, but he is an absolute egoist.

Lu Xiaoran and her peers in the Lu family had all suffered a great deal at her hands. Therefore, those of her generation who were close to Lu Wantang were almost all men older than her. After all, playing the role of being weak and docile was a common trait, and it was easy to win the favor of the older generation.

As for those who were affected by Lu Wantang's attention-seeking, although they didn't fall out of favor or hate Lu Wantang, they didn't have a good impression of her. Since Lu Xiaoran became sensible, he rarely took the initiative to provoke Lu Wantang and avoided her at home whenever possible.

But he didn't expect that Lu Wantang was not his biological sister, and he didn't expect that after Su Yu returned to the Lu family, Lu Wantang's ability to pretend to be weak evolved towards the direction of green tea and little white flower. Not only did she cry at every turn, she also liked to say some ambiguous words that were easy to arouse people's imagination.

Lu Xiaoran had encountered several situations where Su Yu had a hard time explaining herself to Lu Wantang. Initially, seeing Su Yu constantly trying to curry favor with the Lu family, he wanted to persuade her to come to her senses. However, Su Yu, craving family affection at the time, comforted Lu Xiaoran and continued to curry favor. Seeing her repeatedly rejected, cold-shouldered, and misunderstood by the Lu family, Lu Xiaoran felt helpless, but he didn't know how to persuade her further.

His feelings for Su Yu were complicated. He liked her, after all, as she was his blood sister, and Su Yu had a kind personality. However, because of Lu Wantang's presence, Lu Xiaoran went from being delighted at Su Yu's arrival to feeling anxious, and finally feeling a bit disappointed. Sometimes, Lu Xiaoran wanted to pry open Su Yu's brain to see what made her persevere despite the Lu family's repeated cold shoulders.

Fortunately, Su Yu later met Li Xi and became a little smarter. She no longer blindly tried to please the Lu family, nor would she stand there and watch Lu Wantang slander her without rebuttal. Although her attitude towards the Lu family became a little colder, she became more lively.

Lu Xiaoran liked the changed Su Yu and was grateful to Li Xi for "enlightening" Su Yu, so he had a strong impression of Li Xi before they met. Upon meeting, he discovered that she was a beautiful woman, and Lu Xiaoran, who was already obsessed with looks, was even more impressed. He wanted to be by Li Xi's side like Su Yu. When he learned that she was in a relationship, although he felt a moment of loss, he couldn't help but get close to her.

Seeing her cunning side again, he suddenly felt a little jealous of Li Xi's boyfriend. What kind of person could have caught her eye? However, the jealousy only surged for a moment before being replaced by the excitement of the action in front of him.

With them watching over her, and at the Lu residence, nothing would really happen to Lu Wantang. Besides, she had caused all the trouble with love affairs herself; they were just a bunch of spectators, at most inviting a few more people to watch the show. No matter how you slice it, they couldn't be blamed for harming anyone.

As for whether Lu Wantang would lose face, who cares? Just treat it as a report about being bullied by Lu Wantang when she was a child.

After doing his own ideological work, Lu Xiaoran also joined the discussion of the three people watching the play and helped them to improve some details, such as how to lure Shen Zhou over.

Speaking of attracting people, Li Xi felt that it would be too lonely to attract only Shen Zhou. It would be exciting to attract Lu Zifeng over and watch her beloved kissing someone else with her own eyes!

"I think after we lure Shen Zhou over, we can go get Lu Zifeng. Firstly, he's the one who has the most say among us, and secondly, he can serve as a witness, saving Shen Zhou from having to deny his affair with Lu Wantang in front of both parents." Li Xi finished speaking, giving Su Yu a suggestive look. They both knew very well what Lu Zifeng was thinking about Lu Wantang.
