Chapter 79: Putting on a Pretense

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Sheng could not understand. Did she really look so harmless?

Why did these bastards keep challenging her bottom line?

After chasing his parents away, their son came again not long later.

Was this family really ignorant, or did they really think she didn’t dare to do anything to them?

Lu Sheng mumbled a few words to Lu Jiang. When Lu Jiang returned to his room and locked the door, she gave Lu Chuan a friendly smile and said, “Yes, I bought quite a lot of ingredients. Cousin, you can head back after you’ve eaten.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He hugged the cloth and food tightly and smiled. “Okay, hurry up and cook.”

“Cousin, take a seat first. I’ll go and cook.”

If she did not get rid of these nonsensical people, she was afraid that her life would not be smooth sailing in the future.

After placing the ingredients she bought in the kitchen, she walked out with a smile.

After traveling for the whole day and meeting gossipy woman when she went to buy vegetables, she was in a foul mood.

This idiot actually dared to provoke her.

This was indeed in line with the saying, “Choosing to go to hell when you could go to heaven.”

She clenched her fists so hard that they made cracking sounds. However, Lu Chuan, who was fixated on eating meat, did not notice anything.

“Cousin, put these things away first. Take them when you’re heading back. You can’t possibly carry these for dinner, right?”

Those five rolls of cloth alone cost her fifty taels.

She bought them to make some new clothes for Lu Ran after seeing that he was still wearing old clothes.

This idiot really knew how to choose.

“Okay.”

Seeing her amiable tone, Lu Chuan put the items aside.

However, once he placed the items away, Lu Sheng’s face darkened.

“Didn’t your parents tell you not to provoke me?”

Lu Chuan paused and looked up suspiciously. “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean?”

Lu Sheng laughed coldly and kicked the stool he was sitting on. Lu Chuan was caught off guard and fell onto his back.

“Lu Sheng, you’re looking for death!”

He struggled to get up from the ground, and wanted to pick up the stool and smash it against her.

Lu Sheng kicked the stool and him away.

Lu Chuan left a mark on the ground, and a cloud of dust floated in front of him.

He only managed to catch his breath after a long while. His terrified gaze landed on Lu Sheng, who was approaching him with a cold expression on her face.

He had heard the news of Lu Sheng clinging on to a rich man some time ago, so he had long wanted to come and take advantage of her.

It was a pity that the Lu family’s door always remained shut during his previous visits.

He had come again a few days ago, but did not see Lu Sheng. Lu Ran was the only one drying the grains in the courtyard.

Lu Ran did not have a good temper, and he did not dare to provoke him easily. Hence, he decided to come again after Lu Ran returned to town.

He had just returned from drinking outside when he heard someone say that Lu Sheng had returned in a horse carriage.

He wanted to try his luck and see if Lu Sheng could give him a hundred taels.

He did not expect Lu Sheng to be gone when he arrived. Lu Jiang was the only one there, and a horse carriage was parked in the courtyard.

He could not find anything on the carriage. When he entered the house, he saw a lot of things on the table.

After taking a look, he felt that the most valuable items were the few rolls of silk.

He wanted to secretly take them away, but did not expect Lu Sheng to bring a bunch of goodies home.

Seeing how amiable she was and how she was not as badass as his parents made her out to be, he plucked up the courage and wanted to grab a good meal before leaving.

He did not expect Lu Sheng’s friendliness to be fake.
