Chapter 95: Exposing the Little Trick
Lu Hai showed no respect to Wang Tingting, who lost face and looked embarrassed.
She couldn't understand why her younger cousin and sister disliked her.
She is clearly gentle and kind, and always greets everyone with a smile.
Moreover, she's good-looking, has a respectable job, and her fashion sense is undeniable; she's a trendsetter in the southern part of the city.
Ha, the Lu family thinks they're superior just because they live in the military compound.
Therefore, if she wanted them to look at her with new respect, she had to also join the Lu family and become Lu Ye's wife, their sister-in-law.
Then we'll see if they still dare to disrespect us.
Wang Tingting concealed the calculating look in her eyes, squeezed closer to Wang Shufen, and said in a gentle and considerate voice, "I'll keep Auntie company. Auntie hasn't been feeling well lately. You and Xiaoya haven't been by her side. She's been going to the hospital frequently and was even mistreated by a shady pharmacy. I really feel sorry for her and will come to visit her every few days."
Wang Tingting held Wang Shufen's hand, her eyes filled with heartache.
Her words reminded Wang Shufen, who was already suffering from illness, of the pain she had endured during this time, with her son and daughter not by her side and not even making a phone call.
My son is doing a little better; he can come back to see her when he hears she's sick. But my daughter is heartless; she runs off to play as soon as she gets out of school and doesn't even think about her mother.
None of them are as good as their niece, Tingting.
"Xiao Hai, your cousin is right. Mom has suffered a lot these past few days, and you weren't home. I'm so grateful that your cousin is here with me."
Lu Hai didn't like this pretentious cousin, but upon hearing about her companionship of her mother, he still politely said, "Thank you, cousin."
"Mom, what's wrong with you? I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow."
"I got the medicine, but for some reason, the dosage has been increasing lately."
Xie Yun, standing to the side, wanted to suggest that Wang Shufen consult Bai Zhi, since Bai Zhi even knew that she couldn't eat seafood because of her illness, so there should be a treatment plan.
But she swallowed her words back.
Wang Shufen had a prejudice against Angelica dahurica, and she had never seen Angelica dahurica used to treat illnesses.
Therefore, they didn't trust her medical skills at all.
She might not believe it even if she says it.
Wang Shufen's attitude was terrible, and Bai Zhi might not be willing to treat her either.
"Second Aunt, if you're not feeling well, go back to your room and rest for a while. Let Xiao Hai keep you company."
Lu Zheng'an had to go back to his workplace in the afternoon, and Xie Yun also went back to her room.
Grandpa Lu said he wanted to talk to Lu Hai and asked him to help him into the house.
"Xiao Hai, help Grandpa back to his room to lie down for a while."
"Farewell, Grandpa."
Only Wang Shufen and Wang Tingting remained in the living room.
"Auntie, I really like Lu Ye."
Wang Tingting disregarded her feminine modesty and boldly expressed her feelings to Wang Shufen.
Especially after seeing Lu Ye again today, she felt that he was more manly than before.
His powerful masculinity, his strong and taut muscles, and his perfectly proportioned physique all made her drool.
To be honest, so far, she has never met a man more perfect and handsome than Lu Ye in her life.
The men she encountered were either refined and lacking in masculinity, or strong and uncouth like brutes.
Wang Shufen was also troubled. "Tingting, I know what you're thinking, but with Lu Ye's temper, I can't say anything to him."
She said a few words in the morning, and Lu Ye made an excuse to leave.
Wang Tingting couldn't sit still any longer. Looking towards the second floor, she suddenly stood up.
"Auntie, I want to go upstairs to find him."
She had to tell Lu Ye how she felt.
Love should be expressed loudly.
“This…” Wang Shufen hesitated.
"I went up and talked to him."
Seeing her niece's eager gaze, Wang Shufen had no choice but to agree, "Okay, if anyone asks, just say you're resting in Lu Ya's room."
Lu Ye had just taken a shower and went outside, where he was sweating. His pores were filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.
He was afraid his grandfather would smell it.
He had just come out of the room with a change of clothes and a towel and was heading to the bathroom next door when he ran into Wang Tingting.
Wang Tingting was also surprised by how smoothly things went; Lu Ye was already outside without her having to knock.
"Brother Lu Ye." She said shyly.
Lu Ye frowned. "What are you doing here?"
“Brother Lu Ye, I came here specifically to see you. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.” Wang Tingting adopted the demeanor of an understanding and caring younger sister. “I know that your engagement with Bai Zhi was arranged by Grandpa Lu, and you had no choice in the matter. You were forced into this relationship with Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi is just a country girl, young and inexperienced. She is not good enough for you at all. I understand your pain and helplessness very well.”
"What are you talking about?" Lu Ye looked at her suspiciously.
Who is suffering? Who is helpless?
Does he have it?
Wang Tingting continued to look at him with sympathy as she babbled on, "What I want to say is, if you tell Grandpa Lu that you have someone more suitable for you, he definitely won't force you anymore. Grandpa Lu is just worried about your lifelong happiness; he just hopes you can find a partner."
Lu Ye frowned, "What do you mean by 'a suitable partner for me'?"
"Brother Lu Ye, I've liked you for a long time. I don't believe you haven't felt it at all."
Wang Tingting puffed out her chest and looked confidently at Lu Ye. "I hope you can take a look at me, Wang Tingting. Whether it's my family background, my appearance, or my job, I'm 100 times better than Bai Zhi."
Looking at the woman in front of him, praising himself while belittling Bai Zhi, Lu Ye's handsome face was extremely ugly, and his tone was heavy, "But you are not my type."
Wang Tingting, "!!!"
"Please don't label Bai Zhi anymore. There's nothing wrong with a country girl. I like her, that's all that matters."
As soon as Lu Ye finished speaking, Wang Tingting suddenly fell straight towards him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Wang Tingting's eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke in a weak voice, "I feel so dizzy, I might have heatstroke."
"Stand against the wall."
As soon as Lu Hai went upstairs, he saw his cousin collapse into his cousin's arms.
“You guys…” Lu Hai’s face showed a malicious smile.
Lu Ye's face darkened. "Your cousin said she has heatstroke. Come and help her up."
"The person is now in your hands."
Lu Ye pushed the woman who was leaning against him away with great force. Wang Tingting lost her balance and fell heavily onto Lu Hai, who staggered from the impact.
Then, Lu Ye slammed the door shut.
Lu Hai nudged her, looking speechless. "Alright, cousin, stop acting and stand up straight. I can't hold you up anymore."
He bluntly called her out, "The fan is on at home and it's not hot, so what kind of heatstroke are you getting?"
That's such a lame excuse.
Everyone in the family knows that his cousin likes his older cousin.
He also frequently came to his home to keep his mother company.
Judging from this, their real intention is definitely not what they seem.
Having her little trick seen through by Lu Hai, Wang Tingting stopped hiding it and grabbed her cousin's arm, pleading, "Xiao Hai, can you help me?"
