1893: It's Good to Have a Sister-in-law

It's Good to Have a Sister-in-law

As Guo Yujie spoke, Shi Xiaoya arranged the cosmetics nicely and started applying some on Lu Man.0

"It's actually not a big deal, I just couldn't hold it in," Shi Xiaoya explained. "I know even after today, they'll still be unconvinced and talk bad about you. I only hope they'll rein it in slightly and not go overboard. Have some fear in their hearts."

Guo Yujie, while helping out Shi Xiaoya, laughed. "Isn't the fear inspired by Young Master Han scary enough? But they still talked nonsense. Jealousy will never die in humans."

"Yujie's right." Lu Man smirked. "Anyway, such things have happened before and will happen again in the future. I'm used to it. What they say won't affect me."

"But…" Lu Man took a turn, looking up at Shi Xiaoya and winking at her. "It's good to have a sister-in-law who'll defend and support me when others talk bad about me."

Shi Xiaoya blushed.

What sister-in-law!

She was used to Lu Man's calm and confident manner in the entertainment industry. Who knew she could be so impish!

"Who's talking bad about you?" A nice and steady male voice rang by the door.

The three women turned to look.

To see Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling appear.

"You guys arrived this early?" Lu Man was surprised.

It was almost New Year's, and the Han Corporation had many employees who needed to travel back to their hometowns, so the company would give them earlier leaves.

But Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli would never take a leave this early and would work until the last day.

And if anything cropped up during the holidays, both of them would settle it at once.

Holidays, to them, were a luxury.

"There's nothing much today, and most of the employees have left. It's almost the holidays anyway, so we let them off earlier," Han Zhuoli explained as he walked in with Han Zhuoling. "And it's your performance today, so we came earlier."

Han Zhuoli stopped by her side.

While Shi Xiaoya was on the other side doing Lu Man's makeup…

Han Zhuoling walked over, and he restrained himself from giving Shi Xiaoya a greeting kiss because Han Zhuoli and Lu Man were there.

Not knowing his thoughts, Shi Xiaoya turned and gave Han Zhuoling a sweet smile before continuing her work.

"You haven't answered me, who's speaking badly of you?" Han Zhuoli wouldn't let Lu Man escape the question.

Resigned, she answered, "I encounter these things everywhere. It's all because of jealousy and envy, it's no big deal. It's nothing much, just some spiteful comments which I don't take to heart."

Frankly, Lu Man had always been like this.

Ever since she started working at the Han Corporation, in fact.

Hearing mean comments and being ostracized by her colleagues didn't affect her.

She did not care nor take revenge, only focusing on her own tasks.

As long as the other party didn't physically harm her in any way.

Like Dai Yiran, and like what she'd encountered in the entertainment industry after.

Lu Man didn't do much at first.

But after they turned physical, Lu Man then took action.

It's not as if Lu Man was free every day and would go out in full force just because of a few mean comments.
