272: Disliked

Disliked

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, no one responded. Only Gu Zi's laughter could be heard. After being stunned for about a minute or two, Lù Yue'an suddenly spoke.1

Following up on Lù Chuan's words, she said, "That's right, Sister, I won't hold it against you. If you took it, just return it. I won't get angry, Mommy and Daddy won't get angry either."

Their whole family was puting forward a good attitude. Little did they know that Lù Yue'an's words would shame Lu Ning with a purported crime, practically leaving her with no way out.

Shi Qingyue glanced at the father and daughter pair. Lù Chuan continued, "That's right, we won't get angry."

Shi Qingyue laughed mockingly. "Who said I'm not angry? If she did something like that, then we have to teach her a lesson! It's not like we haven't bought her anything before, but now she's actually coveting our An'an's things!"

She crossed her arms and glared at Lu Ning in disgust.

Lu Ning, who originally did not intend to play along with the family of three, suddenly laughed when she heard Shi Qingyue's words.

She lowered her legs, letting them sway in the air. She leaned back, propping her arms on the podium behind her as she peered at the three of them. There was a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes were cold.

"Everyone knows that we were swapped at birth. Our birthdays are the same—we were born in the same year, month, and day. However, they forgot to give you the exact time. They should have given you the time of our births to see if you should be calling me big sister. Heh, I don't remember having a little sister like you.

"As for whether I took it or not, don't you know best?

"Also, Mrs. Lù, I really don't remember you buying such things for me in the past. From big jewelry to small pencil erasers, I've never seen you buy any of them for me. Me, coveting them? Heh~ Think whatever you wish."

The family of three's faces turned pale.

"You!"

For a moment, Shi Qingyue could not say anything to refute. After all, Lu Ning's words were true.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect this. Lu Ning hasn't ever received a gift from her mother before? She has never given her anything!"

"That's impossible. Did she say it on purpose?"

"Didn't you see that her mother can't even say anything to refute her? Her expression's so ugly, so it must be true! This mother is so incompetent."

"But why is she so good to Lù Yue'an?"

"I don't know. Guilt, maybe? Trying to make up for something?"

"Heavens, if anyone wants to make it up to her, it should've been Lu Ning. Didn't Lù Yue'an's family treat her quite well before? It turns out that only Lu Ning has been suffering from beginning to end, but when it comes to making it up, it's only Lù Yue'an benefiting from it!"

"How ridiculous! Lu Ning, the eldest daughter of the Lù family, is actually so disliked by her parents."

"Actually, I think Lu Ning is innocent. Even if her parents didn't give her anything, doesn't she still have her grandfather? Old Master Lù will definitely let her have some of these, right? After all, she's a rich Young Mistress. How could she not know any of these things?

"In my opinion, Lu Ning didn't like such things in the past; even if she's down and out now, she might not want to have them. Maybe what she cares about is the hearts and not the outer appearance. That bracelet worth millions may not even catch Lu Ning's eye."

"That makes sense! How can a woman who has seen top-notch jewelry do something so lowly for a tiny piece of jewelry?"

"…"

There were more and more discussions around them. The Lù family glared at Lu Ning's languid appearance and clenched their fists in anger.
