In her past life, Lu Siqiao suffered from severe depression and couldn't sleep at night, so she went to the hospital to see a psychologist.
Her attending psychologist, Su Muyao, is Su Mushen's older sister. Su Mushen often visited the set, and over time, he and Lu Siqiao became acquainted.
Lu Siqiao has a very narrow social circle and is often subjected to domestic violence by Huang Ling. Whenever someone gives her a little warmth, she thinks she has the whole world.
She was attracted to Su Mushen's eloquence and humor, and Su Mushen also had feelings for her.
It wasn't until after her rebirth, when her mind opened up and her horizons broadened, that she understood Su Mushen's greater sympathy for her.
That's not called liking.
Therefore, even though she was imprisoned by Huang Ling and her mind was severely damaged, Su Mushen did not take any further action except to comfort her with a few words.
"Lu Cixiu, I'm your junior, Mo Yan. I heard your speech at the beginning of the semester, it was so cool."
While Lu Siqiao was lost in thought, Mo Yan, the social butterfly, had already pulled Lu Siqiao to the school heartthrob Lu Cixiu and was introducing herself in a serious manner.
Lu Cixiu responded with a few words, a subtle and polite smile on his lips.
Lu Siqiao only then realized that Su Mushen was his cousin, but he was only attending an ordinary high school and would be graduating in a year.
Surprisingly, they all knew Fang Ziru and were planning to attend an open-air party at the Jiangbin Hotel that night.
They were all young men and women, and as they chatted, they became familiar with each other. Mo Yan did most of the talking, while the others listened.
Su Mushen noticed the bags they were carrying and the designer boutiques behind them, and his expression became serious.
Moreover, he noticed something unusual: Lu Siqiao was secretly looking at him.
This discovery thrilled him. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, he secretly glanced at Lu Siqiao: about thirteen or fourteen years old, petite and cute, with captivating dark eyes, as if deep in thought, her brows slightly furrowed...
Could it be that she likes him?
Thinking of all this, Su Mushen straightened his back and, like Lu Cixiu, adopted a haughty and aloof demeanor.
A group of people went to an ice cream parlor for drinks and afternoon tea, and enjoyed themselves until after 6 p.m. before calling two taxis to head to the riverside hotel.
In the brightly lit Jiangbin Hotel Club, well-trained waiters carried various teas and snacks among the crowd. Fang Ziru was dressed casually, with several girls standing beside him, including Fang Mingshu, who had also come.
“Cousin, it’s been a month, and Lu Siqiao is still doing just fine. You really disappoint me.” Fang Mingshu pulled Fang Yao aside and complained, “You can’t even handle a little girl like her.”
Fang Yao said with a bitter face, "Cousin, Lu Siqiao is too cunning. She's not entirely useless. She gets good grades in school. In this unit test, she got first place in all subjects. The teachers pay close attention to her and keep a close eye on her. I can't bring myself to do it."
She really couldn't understand it. Was the quality of education in the countryside really that good? Or was Lu Siqiao just naturally gifted?
"Let me tell you, there's going to be a good show soon. I heard Fang Dingding will be attending the party too." Fang Mingshu looked on with amusement.
Fang Yao whispered, "Isn't it said that Fang Dingding's illness is so severe that it's like Lu Siqiao refuses to donate a kidney, and that the mother and daughter hate her to the core, to the point of never being at peace?"
“That’s right. In short, wherever Chen Luoxia and her daughter are, we can just watch the show.” Fang Mingshu sneered.
Fang Ziru thought so too.
He wasn't inviting Lu Siqiao over out of kindness; he wanted to embarrass her.
The second wife couldn't swallow her anger, and her grandmother cursed Lu Siqiao every night, wishing that Chen Luoxia and her daughter would rip out her heart and lungs. Who told her to be so disrespectful and arrogant all her life?
"Qiaowa, come to your cousin's place, eat and drink well-" He came over with a few classmates, specially bringing a glass of juice to Lu Siqiao, his face full of insincere politeness.
Lu Siqiao hummed in agreement, took the juice, but hesitated to drink it.
She was terrified by these people, fearing that they might slip drugs into her drink again, just like last time.
Mo Yan and Li Rou didn't care about anything else. They took the juice and gulped it down, then took Li Rou to find something to eat.
When only Lu Siqiao remained, Fang Ziru looked at the lively scene in front of her and sneered, "Qiaowa, your eldest cousin will be here later. You won't mind, will you?"
The older cousin he was referring to was, of course, Fang Dingding.
Lu Siqiao thought that her medicine was indeed effective. In just half a day, Fang Dingding was already jumping around. Was she eager to show off?
"This is your home turf, what do I have to say?" Lu Siqiao thought he was talking too much nonsense.
Fang Ziru chuckled, his smile deep and meaningful.
As the soft music began, many young men and women walked hand in hand to the center of the dance floor and began to dance gracefully. Su Mushen straightened his collar and walked towards Lu Siqiao.
But then she saw a boy rush up to Lu Siqiao first, looking embarrassed and awkward, which was quite strange.
Su Mushen frowned.
He learned about Lu Siqiao's identity from Fang Ziru. She was the long-lost heiress of the Fang Group, who had only recently returned to the family. He heard that the Fang family's eldest branch only had two granddaughters, and the eldest was chronically ill. It was inevitable that Lu Siqiao would have to find a son-in-law to live with her in the family in the future.
Not only that, the matriarch of the Fang family dotes on Lu Siqiao, and at such a young age, her net worth has already exceeded ten million.
Su Mushen felt this was an opportunity; if he could establish a relationship with Lu Siqiao, he might be able to stay in the capital.
He felt that Lu Siqiao was paying special attention to him, a feeling that surprised and delighted him.
"Qiao, may I invite you to dance?" Fu Libai walked up to Lu Siqiao and stammered.
