Chapter 44 - Pei Xue’s Provocation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Fu Ye heard what the child said, he laughed because she seemed to have said this to him before.

“Kid, I’ll go back first.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded and looked down from the corridor. “Bye, Brother Fu Ye.”

Fu Ye did not look at the two women’s expressions. He turned around and left the Lu family villa, bidding farewell to Lu Beichen before leaving.

He had to hurry back and ask Gramps about the zombie.

Wasn’t he worried that Lu Xiaocha would be bullied by the mother and daughter of the Pei family? What a joke. Did they have the ability to bully her? Although the child looked obedient, he couldn’t beat her when she got fierce!

At this moment, Pei Qin also saw Lu Beichen walking in. A smile immediately appeared on her face. It was completely different from when she was facing Lu Xiaocha.

Pei Xue also happily greeted him as he entered.

“Chen, you’re back. Where did you go? Eh…”

When her gaze landed on the orchid Lu Beichen was holding, she was immediately attracted to it.

Pei Qin didn’t particularly like these things. She only cared about what she wore and whether or not she was wearing a designer brand. But this time, she was attracted to the orchid.

She had been thinking of ways to make friends with the Leng family’s madam. She heard that that person liked orchids very much. If she gave these orchids to her, she would definitely be able to build a good relationship with Mrs. Leng.

Pei Qin looked at the thing in Lu Beichen’s hand with shining eyes.

......

“Chen, where did you buy this from? It’s so beautiful. I like it too.”

Lu Beichen glanced at his sister, who had already gone upstairs, and gave a perfunctory ‘oh’. He did not take the opportunity to reply as Pei Qin had expected.

Pei Qin rolled her eyes. Pei Anran’s child was indeed as annoying as she was, but they were always lucky.

Seeing that he did not reply, Pei Qin took the initiative to find a topic to talk about. “Chen, can you tell me where you bought this orchid? I like it too. I want to buy some as well.”

Lu Beichen’s gaze fell on the woman.

He did not like this aunt of his because his sharp senses noticed that she would lean towards his father every time he came back.

And when Mom and Dad weren’t around, she always liked to act like the master of the Lu family.

However, for the sake of his relatives, he did not say much and only secretly guarded against her.

“You can’t buy it. We found it in the mountains. If you want it, try your luck up there.”

Pei Qin gritted her teeth in hatred, but she had to smile and talk to him.

“I see. Then, Chen, your orchid…”

Lu Beichen interrupted her tactful request. “My sister found this for Mom.”

The expression on Pei Qin’s face instantly twisted, and the jealousy in her heart was about to overflow.

But she could bear it, too, and she quickly regained her expression.

“So… so your sister found it, heh heh…”

How could that little b*tch be so lucky! And she was giving this to that b*tch, Pei Anran!

Damn it! Why did Pei Anran get everything good?

Gu Xiao scratched his head awkwardly and informed Lu Beichen after handing everything to the butler.

“Since you have guests in your house, I’ll take my leave.”

After Lu Beichen nodded, he quickly slipped away.

When Lu Xiaocha put her things away and came downstairs, she saw that Pei Xue was talking to her twin brother. Gu Xiao had already left while Pei Qin sat on the sofa on the other side and drank several cups of tea.

Pei Xue seemed to notice Lu Xiaocha coming down. Her eyes flashed and she suddenly hugged Lu Beichen’s arm intimately and called him cousin.

“Cousin, I’m going to perform ballet at our school’s art performance on Teachers’ Day. Will you come and see me?”

Lu Beichen frowned slightly. He wasn’t used to such intimate contact with girls and quietly pulled his arm away.

Pei Qin also saw Lu Xiaocha walking downstairs. Deep disgust and imperceptible… fear flashed in her eyes.

She was a little restless, but the only thing she was sure of was that she did not want Lu Xiaocha to return to this house.

She knew her daughter very well. Seeing her actions, she knew what her daughter wanted to do. Pei Qin’s eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Pei Xue exclaimed as if she had just realized that Lu Xiaocha had come down.

She greeted Lu Xiaocha with a smile. “Come here. Cousin and I are discussing my school’s art performance tomorrow. Speaking of which, Cousin, where did you study? Uncle should have transferred you to another school, but why haven’t I seen you at school?”

She blinked as if she were simply confused.

However, when she said these words and deliberately acted intimately with Lu Beichen in front of Lu Xiaocha, if Lu Xiaocha was really an orphan who had been lost in an orphanage since she was young, she would feel inferior and timid.

Lu Xiaocha didn’t think too much about it. She ignored Pei Xue’s invitation and sat on the other side of Lu Beichen.

Seeing this, Pei Xue had something to say again.

“Cousin, don’t you like me? Have I done something wrong? I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Her lost and helpless expression looked extremely pitiful.

Lu Xiaocha glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. “Although I don’t know why, I feel that you have a smell on you.”

She rubbed her chin and frowned in thought, but she didn’t know how to describe it.

Pei Xue’s eyes flickered. She felt that Lu Xiaocha was deliberately targeting her, but it didn’t matter. It was good for her to target her. Only then would she have a reason to flare up.

“Brother, what art performance? Is it good?”

This time, without waiting for Pei Xue to speak, Lu Xiaocha asked excitedly.

Lu Beichen had already completely pulled his hand away and sat closer to his sister. Actually, he also felt that Pei Xue’s words were strange, but he didn’t know what was wrong.

“It’s very boring. It’s just a group of people dancing on stage, while the audience would shout like monkeys.”

Pei Xue was speechless.

She almost choked on her anger.

As if sensing something, Lu Beichen turned his head and explained casually.

“Ah… I’m not talking about you.”

Pei Xue clenched her fists and could not maintain the forced smile on her face.

After explaining, he went back to talking to his sister. “When exactly are you going to school?”

Pei Xue’s words made him urge Lu Xiaocha.

Lu Xiaocha immediately closed her eyes and fell onto the sofa without looking at him. “Why do I have to go to school? I don’t want to study.”

Studying was so tiring. She had seen Lu Beichen’s class schedule before and was intimidated by the full schedule.

Lu Beichen frowned and educated his sister with a serious expression. “No, it’s a must to go to school. Daddy said to let you be in the same class as me so that I can take good care of you.”

“How can you act like this.”

Pei Qin, who had been sitting on the other side, suddenly interrupted their conversation when she saw that her daughter’s expression was getting worse.
