Chapter 144 - Fake Fall (2/2)

“Sister, do you hate me very much? Why do you always treat me in such a way?”

Cheng Xiao’s words seemed to be directed at Cheng Ling, but in fact, she was saying it for Lu Xiu to hear. She hoped that Lu Xiu would say something to help her.

However, Xie Wan’s teaching was indeed wrong.

Lu Qi and Lu Xiu had worked hard since they were young, and they hated people who cried the most.

Therefore, they were very indifferent to Cheng Xiao’s crying and the two drops of tears that had been rolling in their eyes for a long time.

Cheng Ling just sneered and continued to drink the wine in her glass.

Lu Xiu couldn’t stand it anymore, so he said tactfully.

“Miss Cheng, I saw that your mother seemed to be looking for you just now. Do you want to go over and see what’s going on?”

Hearing Lu Xiu’s words, Cheng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

Cheng Ling’s frankness indeed made her unable to stay here any longer. She was looking for an excuse to leave quickly. Thus when she heard Lu Xiu say this, she put down her wine glass.

Of course, she still had one last trick up her sleeve.

“I seem to be a little dizzy after drinking a little red wine.”

She placed her hand on her forehead and rubbed it.

When she stood up, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the place where Lu Xiu was sitting.

The plot was about to succeed. Cheng Xiao’s lips were curling up, waiting for Lu Xiu to catch her. She didn’t expect Lu Xiu’s reaction to be so fast. He was still sitting, but he had already moved back with his chair.

Cheng Xiao had calculated the position, but now she fell straight to the ground.

This was very eye-catching. The surrounding guests all looked over.

Cheng Xiao quickly lowered her head and hid her embarrassed expression using her hair. She then stood up.

The guests all came forward to show concern to her. Lu Xiu had already stood up.

“Miss Cheng, I’m sorry. I saw something fall, so I subconsciously avoided it. Are you okay?”

Something? Was she a thing?!

Cheng Xiao hurriedly patted her dress and shook her head.

“I’m fine. I was the one who lost my footing just now. It’s not Brother Xiu’s fault..”
