Chapter 7 (2/2)

Xinnuan was classmates with Old Mr. Su’s grandchild, Su Jue. They were quite close, and it was quite obvious what an invitation to dine with the Su family meant.

“Nuannuan, I’ll bring you out to get a new dress after dinner. We’ll get you all dressed up! When you head over tomorrow, bring your award-winning art piece, and get Grandpa Su to give you some pointers. He likes elegant things like these, and he’ll definitely like you!”

“Thank you mom! I know what to do!” Lu Xinnuan said sweetly. “Sister, you won’t be upset, right?” She said in feigned nonchalance after she glanced at her sister.

Lu Mian shifted her gaze from the burger to her sister confusedly.

“I remember you gave Su Jue a love letter when you were sixteen…” Lu Xinnuan explained.

“Love letter?” Lu Mian’s hand paused a little as she looked down to think. “That was an invite from Old Man Su. I was just returning it because I didn’t want to go.”

“I see…” Lu Xinnuan smiled as she ate a mouthful of rice.

Fu Man was upset by her words, and raised her voice again.

“Lu Mian, do you ever speak the truth? How important do you think you are to have Old Mr. Su give you an invite? You’ve loved to lie since young. Why are you still the same after you returned? Outsiders are going to laugh at you when they hear this!”

She had been lying since young. She would say that she did not need to take the test, since she had memorized the entire textbooks, that she could put a dismantled television back together; she even unabashedly said that she had saved someone.

She had been full of lies since she was a child!

Lu Mian took it in emotionlessly. She used to try to prove herself right, but she was numb and used to it now.

“Mom, don’t get mad, maybe sister just wants to go to the Su family…” She consoled her mother after she put her chopsticks down.

“Go where? She doesn’t play instruments, chess, nor does she know the classics or arts. She’ll just be a disgrace if she goes!” Fu Man turned her face away in disappointment. She was no longer in the mood to eat. “Lu Mian, don’t talk nonsense like this in the future!”
