Chapter 123 Bullying
The Lu family didn't have many guests.
Those who came were just Lu Man’s friends.
Everyone dressed up beautifully to celebrate Lu Man's birthday.
When Lu Wan, dressed in plain clothes, walked into the hall, she seemed like an alien, out of place.
No one took the initiative to greet Lu Wan. No one knew how Lu Man usually described Lu Wan to everyone. Those flashy people all looked down on her with disdain in their eyes.
Lu Wan was holding a white shoulder bag in her hand. Looking at the scene in front of her, her fingers involuntarily tightened the strap of the bag.
She was clearly returning to her own home, but she felt like an outsider.
"You're back?"
Lu Wan's stepmother Xu Meifeng was the first to greet Lu Wan, and the first thing she asked was, "What gift did you bring for your elder sister?"
Lu Wan glanced at her without saying anything, then lowered her head and took out a gift box from her handbag.
Xu Meifeng took it without hesitation and opened it in public.
After seeing the jewels inside, his expression became better.
"Sit anywhere you like."
She said this and walked straight towards Lu Man with the jewelry.
Lu Wan stood there and looked around, but did not see her father.
In fact, this time when she returned home, she just wanted to take a look at her father.
Although I have no feelings for my stepmother and two sisters, I have blood ties with my father after all.
Lu Wan walked to the sofa awkwardly and sat down, watching Lu Man talking and laughing with her friends. Everyone treated her as a invisible person.
After a while, Lu Meng came down from upstairs.
She was obviously dressed up and wearing a gorgeous dress.
Lu Man saw her and waved, "Second sister, come and take a photo with us."
After all, they are sisters, so she doesn't mind even if Lu Meng intends to steal Lu Man's limelight.
Lu Wan sat on the sofa, watching this scene with a sad heart.
If her mother hadn't passed away... maybe she would have a younger sister.
Lu Meng walked into the group of beautiful girls. They were happily taking photos together, completely ignoring Lu Wan, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, as a transparent person.
After everyone finished taking pictures, it seemed that someone finally remembered Lu Wan.
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to her.
Lu Meng came over first and stretched out his hand to Lu Wan, "You didn't bring a gift for my elder sister but not for me, did you?"
Lu Wan remained silent, still lowering her head and taking out a gift box from her handbag. Before handing it to Lu Meng, she asked, "Where is father?"
She had already given the gift and planned to just take a look at her father and say hello before leaving.
She was not welcome here, and she had no appetite to stay for dinner.
"He's not at home."
Lu Meng snatched the gift box from Lu Wan's hand, opened it and took a look, then closed it with a look of disdain on his face.
Then his eyes turned straight to the necklace on Lu Wan's neck.
She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Where did you get this necklace?"
Wasn’t this necklace stolen by that person?
How come she is here with Lu Wan?
Sure enough, that person knew Lu Wan.
It was Lu Wan who made her look bad!
Lu Wan didn't expect Lu Meng to suddenly ask her about the necklace. She subconsciously touched her neck and looked at Lu Meng with resistance, "This necklace is very important to me. I can't give it to you."
Lu Meng's expression changed again.
His hands gradually clenched into fists, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, "Who cares? I don't want it even if you give it to me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Xu Meifeng.
I don't know what he muttered in front of Xu Meifeng, and Xu Meifeng's face obviously became a little ugly.
Then Xu Meifeng walked towards her eldest daughter Lu Meng and whispered a few words to her.
Lu Wan did not look at them, so naturally she did not notice the changes in their expressions.
But this situation didn't accommodate her, so she took out her cell phone, checked the time, and planned to find an excuse to leave.
Since her father was not at home, there was no need for her to stay.
"Fourth sister."
Jin Tian's birthday girl, Lu Man, suddenly walked towards her with a smile, "Why are you sitting here alone? You should join in the fun. We plan to go upstairs to take pictures. Let's go together."
"I……"
Just as Lu Wan was about to refuse, Lu Man grabbed her arm and forced her to stand up, "You won't even give your eldest sister face, will you?"
"Sister, I have something else to do. I have to go."
However, Lu Wan insisted on taking Lu Man's hand and pretended to be leaving.
"What? You're leaving just after arriving? It seems you're just here for formality and not really here to celebrate my birthday?" Lu Man's voice was so loud that everyone in the hall looked at Lu Wan for a moment.
Lu Wan had long been accustomed to all kinds of strange looks in this family. She explained calmly, "I have delivered the gift. I have something else to do."
"Wanwan, if you do this, then I, as your mother, will have to scold you."
Xu Meifeng came over at this time, looking unhappy, "Do you think your elder sister and second sister appreciate your gift? Today is your elder sister's birthday, and your father asked you to come back just to make it more lively. You left after staying with the family for a while. People who don't know would think that our Lu family can't tolerate you."
Lu Wan didn't say anything.
They knew better than anyone whether the Lu family could accommodate her.
"No matter what happens today, you have to give your elder sister some face. Even if you want to leave, you have to take a few photos together before leaving. If you don't have a photo together, the media outside will make a big fuss about it, saying that I, as a stepmother, can't tolerate you." Xu Meifeng crossed her arms, showing her firm attitude that she would never let Lu Wan leave easily today.
Lu Man's friend also spoke up at this time, "It's just taking a few photos together, why are you being so pretentious?"
"He's a painter and an artist, how can he not be pretentious?" Another person covered his mouth and laughed.
"After taking the photo, I'll leave." Lu Wan ignored everyone and looked at Xu Meifeng seriously.
She didn't want to get entangled with everyone and just wanted to leave this uncomfortable place as soon as possible.
"Okay, I know you are busy. After taking the photos, you can leave if you want." Xu Meifeng rolled her eyes after saying this.
No one here wants her to stay.
"Come on, let's go upstairs and take some pictures."
Lu Man glanced at Lu Meng, and soon they all went upstairs together.
There is a beautiful pink room upstairs with many dolls in it.
Everyone came in here at once.
Lu Wan didn't think much about it and followed everyone in.
"Come on, let's take a photo together."
Lu Man greeted everyone and deliberately asked a photographer to hold a camera.
"We are going to take a sexy photo today. Do you know how to do it?"
Lu Man winked at everyone, and sure enough, everyone either lifted up their skirts to reveal a pair of long legs, or pulled down the sleeves of their dresses to reveal their shoulders.
Only Lu Wan, dressed conservatively, stood there, motionless.
Everyone's attention quickly turned to her.
"No, Lu Wan, why are you pretending to be innocent? Sexy photos, don't you understand?" Lu Man suddenly became impatient.
"That's right, like a piece of wood." Lu Man's friends also started to complain.
"I won't take pictures anymore." Lu Wan frowned and walked out.
She originally thought it was just an ordinary photo, a sexy photo, and she didn't want to take it.
"What? You're so disrespectful."
"That's right, we are all girls, why are you pretending like this?"
"You really don't take today's birthday boy seriously at all."
Everyone was complaining, which completely angered Lu Man. "Lu Wan, stop right there."
"Since you don't want to take it off, let us help you."
Lu Man gave Lu Meng another look, and everyone rushed forward and pressed Lu Wan to the ground.
Lu Wan fell to the ground in a mess, her clothes torn off by the crowd, and left in her handbag beside her. Her cell phone rang wildly.
