Lu Xinnuan went off by herself, as if venting her emotions.

“But I’m innocent too… We couldn’t help it…”

“Mom has always blamed herself. She only recovered after we travelled to unwind for two months. Even now, she’s forced to work in uncle’s company to pay back the debt, at such low wages too…”

Even though the Lu Family started off with factories, climbed their way to the top ten richest families and could be considered an elite in Wu City, the riches belonged to their uncle. Her family was worse off than commoners.

They borrowed money, so they were in debt.

The only thing they got out of their situation was their status as a member of the Lu Family.

“We’re all family at the end of the day, right?”

Lu Mian looked up confusedly when she heard crying.

What did she do to make Lu Xinnuan cry this time?

Lu Mian was confused and impatient. She then broke into a wry smile.

She was smiling, but it was cold.

It was like a winter day’s sun; it seemed warm, but it was cold to the bone.

“Don’t cry.” Lu Mian looked at her, as if mockingly, while she thumbed through the pages of the book. “If mom saw, I’ll be the one in trouble.”

“…” Lu Xinnuan did not expect her to say that. She bit her lips as her face turned crimson.

Everything she said seemed to be a farce that Lu Mian had seen right through and put to an end on the spot.

“Time for dinner!”

Fu Man’s voice from downstairs rescued Lu Xinnuan from her awkwardness.

“Anyway, you should take mom into consideration. Come down for dinner!” She said quickly as she wiped her tears.

There were three dishes and soup on the dining table.

On a plate in the middle of the table were two burgers, that stuck out like a sore thumb.
