An Wan froze, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.
She couldn't help but shiver.
She hates having oily things on her face; she feels like she can never get it clean.
My stomach and intestines suddenly started to feel uncomfortable.
"Fifth Brother, you should eat the pig's trotter!"
She pouted and angrily placed the pig's trotter into Lu Zhili's bowl.
Lu Zhili tilted his head, not understanding what she meant, but noticed her face was dirty. "Little sister, your face is so dirty! Why aren't you eating pig's trotters? They're delicious!"
This guy is such a straight man.
How am I going to find a girlfriend in the future?
An Wan gritted her teeth in anger. "I don't care, I don't care, you're the one eating."
"Here, let me wipe it for you." Lu Jiayan took a tissue and wiped the oil off her face.
He moved very gently, as if afraid of hurting her.
Because her skin was fair, delicate, and smooth.
When I hold her hand, even a little force will leave a bruise on my wrist.
"Thank you, Brother Jiayan. You're still the best to me." An Wan said thank you out of habit, even after they became family.
Even though he had wiped it very clean, she still felt her face was oily and her whole body was uncomfortable.
This could be considered a mental illness!
When she talks about how she's afraid of eating fatty meat and dislikes having oily skin, she says it's because she ate too much fatty meat in her past life.
In her past life, her parents, who favored sons over daughters, would buy pork belly to stew for her younger brother, but he didn't like the two layers of fat, so he would bite off a piece and throw it to her.
The reason is that she's thin, and she'd look better if she ate more fatty meat and gained some weight.
So he ate fatty meat for ten years, grew into a chubby boy, and was ridiculed by his parents and classmates for ten years.
Until she met Lu Jiayan, who praised her for being cute.
To live up to his praise, she refused to eat the fatty meat her brother didn't want anymore, exercised every day, and it took her a year to regain her slim figure.
People have become more confident and courageous.
Even though she has been in this parallel universe of China for several months, she still remembers many things from her previous life.
I wish I could lose this memory and only have the beautiful memories of Lu Jiayan left.
——
Sitting three tables apart, Lu Xiaojuan and Lu Xiaojing felt their jealousy grow stronger as they watched An Wan being cared for and loved by Lu Jiayan's brothers.
In particular, An Wan was dressed in a pink and blue princess dress, looking exquisite and beautiful, truly like a princess.
Even though it was the first time they had seen such a beautiful dress, and even if they didn't know the price, they all knew that the dress must be very expensive.
Looking at her own clothes, she realized they were outdated in style, made of ordinary fabric, and wrinkled. She looked like a country bumpkin.
She thought her outfit was the prettiest she could find, but they had kept it for a long time before it looked so new.
If I hadn't taken good care of my clothes, I'd probably be wearing greasy, dirty clothes to the banquet today.
It would be incredibly embarrassing if I didn't know.
If An Wan's dress were theirs, they would be princesses, enjoying everyone's envious gazes and praise.
"Hmph! What right does she have to enjoy those things? What right does she have? How despicable!" Lu Xiaojing became angrier the more she thought about it, and An Wan's image appeared in her pupils, as if a ball of flame was leaping within them.
Why didn't she?
Why did Yunping pick up An Wan instead of her?
Why do I always have to live a life where I can only wear old clothes and barely have enough to eat?
But An Wan can wear pretty dresses and eat candy and chocolate.
Lu Xiaojing felt helpless about the stark contrast between herself and An Wan, and at the same time, she was filled with jealousy and resentment.
"Just because she was adopted!" Lu Xiaojuan gritted her teeth, her hatred for An Wan growing stronger with each glance.
Withdrawing her jealous gaze, she leaned close to Lu Xiaojing's ear. "Yunping's family is rich now. Let's take this opportunity to make some money. We'll use the Xiaoli incident from before as an example. We'll act pitiful and take Xiaoli to ask for money."
"This is a good idea. Third Sister, you are so clever. Yunping is soft-hearted. As long as we act pitiful and cry hard, I don't believe she won't give us the money."
Lu Xiaojing chuckled, really liking Lu Xiaojuan's method.
She could already picture it: a little while later, they would take their fifth sister, Lu Xiaoli, to find Yunping and get lots of dresses and money.
She also wanted those candies and those chocolates.
She's never eaten chocolate before, so she doesn't know if it tastes good.
"Xiaoli, look how well Anwan is doing! She has pretty dresses, and look at her headband—pink lace and a bow! Isn't it beautiful? Don't you want one?"
"Xiaoli, you have the love of your second uncle and aunt, and all your brothers. This was all originally yours. Aren't you envious? If you had been adopted by your second aunt back then, you would be the one wearing the new dress now."
Lu Xiaojuan nuzzled Lu Xiaoli, who was eating and feeding her sixth sister Lu Xiaona, with her arm.
"Fourth Sister!" Lu Xiaoli almost dropped the piece of meat she was holding with her chopsticks. She frowned and looked at Lu Xiaojing, who was laughing heartily, with displeasure.
Although she is only four years old, she can already tell what everyone's expression means and understand the hidden meanings in their words.
Over the years, having been unloved by her mother and father, and bullied by her older sisters, she has come to understand many things.
Looking at Lu Anwan, who was surrounded and pampered by Lu Jiayan and his brothers not far away, Lu Xiaoli's happy smile was indeed a bit dazzling.
I once thought that if I had been adopted by my second aunt a few years ago, I would be very happy now!
My second aunt is so gentle and kind, and my second uncle is also a good father.
Those older brothers have even better personalities.
Every time they saw her, she would smile at them and would not call them by the wrong name like others would.
Even though her family might be poor and have no new dresses or candy, they would still treat her very kindly!
