Chapter 17 I Just Like to Steal Other People’s Brothers
Lu Qingcheng's small group was forced to disband not long after it was established.
As the afternoon school was about to end, the results of the aesthetics class homework were released.
The "Lanting Preface" submitted by Meng Anran, which was written by his younger brother, is the only calligraphy and painting in the whole grade and is extremely eye-catching.
Fortunately, I got the first place.
The works of the top three will be auctioned, with the participation of students' parents and school directors. The final proceeds from the auction will be donated to a charity foundation in the name of the contestants, which can be regarded as a reward for their good reputation.
Meng Anran thought about it. Using the calligraphy and painting her brother had given her to gain fame seemed a bit heartless. Or... lie to him about the bonus?
How much is appropriate?
"Liuzhi, how much is the general bonus for activities in other schools?"
Liu Zhi didn't understand why Meng Anran suddenly asked such a question. Could it be that she wanted the bonus? But she didn't need money!
I didn't understand, but replied, "I heard that No. 1 Middle School held an oral competition last semester, with a prize of 300 to 500 yuan."
"Isn't this too stingy?" Meng Anran frowned, a little disgusted.
Liu Zhi pushed her head and said, "Miss, their breakfast usually costs only seven or eight yuan. Five hundred yuan is enough for them to have breakfast for two months!"
Miss, you don’t understand the sufferings of the world. Miss, just shut up.
Ordinary schools charge three hundred to five hundred yuan, so it’s reasonable for Shenghua to pay three thousand to five thousand, right?
Meng Anran made up her mind and looked at Liu Zhi, "Help me get an honorary certificate for the art competition. Something that looks a little more noble will do."
Liu Zhi was getting more and more confused. "What do you want that for?"
Meng Anran stood up with her schoolbag hooked over her shoulder, turned around and smiled at her, "You're lying, kid."
Looking at the girl walking away, the willow branches turned into old men on the subway.
Don't understand, but do it.
After school, the school gate is the busiest place, and many snack vendors start their business. Although all the students in Shenghua are rich second-generations, they still cannot resist the temptation of junk food at this age.
Among the people coming and going, Meng Anran immediately spotted Meng Yushu, whose figure and appearance were particularly outstanding.
He was like a scholar from ancient times, handsome and elegant, yet gentle and kind. When his eyes lowered, there seemed to be a hint of melancholy flowing between his brows.
Meng Anran felt that if Meng Yushu acted in a costume drama, he would definitely win the hearts of thousands of girls.
Just look at Liu Zhi and you will know that after meeting Meng Yushu, she has forgotten what her fiancé looks like.
"elder brother……"
"elder brother!"
The two voices overlapped. Meng Anran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Qingcheng smiling brightly and trotting towards Meng Yushu.
Seeing Lu Qingcheng's bright smile, Meng Yushu's mood suddenly struggled. He remembered that when he went to Lu Qingcheng's class after school to find her, she also ran towards him excitedly.
He used to dote on his sister very much. When the Meng family just went bankrupt, everything had not changed. They took the bus home together, and sometimes they would suddenly feel like walking back.
Every time, halfway through their walk, Lu Qingcheng would cry out in exhaustion and beg him to carry her on her back. He never refused, and would happily carry her home on his back. She would lie on his back, shaking her legs, and excitedly say, "It's so great to have a brother! My brother is the best brother in the world! I am the happiest girl in the world!"
Happiness comes easily, but beauty is destroyed in an instant.
Her smile disappeared at some point, replaced by a distorted and hideous look.
"I don't want to squeeze on the bus anymore! I'm fed up with this sour smell! Carry me back!"
"How can you be so useless? You've only walked a short distance before you give up?"
"Can't you buy a bicycle? If you don't have money, go get a job!"
In the end, she threw away her favorite raccoon doll and the brother she once said was the best brother in the world.
Meng Yushu swallowed and suppressed the emotions surging in her heart. She didn't know how to treat Lu Qingcheng now.
Lu Qingcheng didn't notice his abnormality and continued to smile sweetly, "Brother, I really miss the time when we went to and from school together! It's a pity that I transferred to Shenghua. My classmates don't seem to like me very much. They only play with Anran."
As she spoke, her smile gradually faded and her eyes gradually turned red, as if Meng Anran had taken the lead in excluding her, making her feel wronged.
Meng Yushu also understood the meaning behind the words. Thinking about his interactions with Meng Anran over the past few days, he almost blurted out a rebuttal: "Anran is not that kind of person."
An Ran would not be so stingy. Although she was raised in a wealthy family for seventeen years, she was easy-going and generous. She never complained that Meng's house was too small, nor did she complain that the bed was too hard. She would praise her mother's cooking skills, buy candied haws for Xiao Hong, and consider their needs and provide help.
Anran is really nice.
It was so good that it made him feel guilty. As a brother, he couldn't help her at all, and instead made her pay the price.
Lu Qingcheng's face froze. She thought that no matter how decisively Meng Anran left the Lu family, she was just showing off. Once she arrived at the Meng family and saw the shabby house, all her bad temper as a young lady would be exposed.
But Meng Yushu actually had a very good impression of Meng Anran. It seemed that in just two or three days, he had completely forgotten his sister, with whom he had been living for seventeen years, and turned to accept Meng Anran!
"How come I didn't know that Miss Lu also had this quirk of looking for brothers everywhere?"
After hearing Meng Yushu's words of protection, Meng Anran curled her lips and stepped forward.
The bright peach blossom eyes relaxed slightly, revealing a hint of danger and sharpness. "Or do you simply like to steal other people's brothers?"
"safely."
When he saw Meng Anran, the gloom in Meng Yushu's face disappeared, a gentle smile appeared on his thin lips, and he no longer even glanced at Lu Qingcheng.
He got on his bike and said, "Let's go home."
Meng Anran's eyes trembled, and the corners of her lips slowly raised a soft arc. She sat on the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Well, let's go home."
Watching the brother and sister leave, jealousy rose in Lu Qingcheng's eyes. They looked so happy, talking and laughing, but that happiness originally belonged to her!
Lu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. She didn't feel any pain even when her new nails dug into her flesh.
Her breathing gradually became short, until the brother and sister were about to disappear from her sight, she turned around angrily and got into the exclusive luxury car she had always dreamed of.
What brother, what Meng family... they are just a bunch of poor people, but she is the eldest daughter of the Lu family!
She is the one standing at the top of the pyramid!
She won!
