Chapter 68 - Way to Make Friends

Lin Yuelan really couldn’t understand this child’s brain.

Who would go around cursing people and then snatch their things because they wanted to be friends? It was really an eye-opener!

After hearing his sister’s words, young master Liu felt a burst of embarrassment.

He knew his sister very well. His sister perhaps really wanted to make friends with Lin Yuelan. However, her way of making friends was rather...

He patted his sister’s shoulder and turned around with an embarrassed look on his face.

He said, “I’m sorry, Miss, my sister really wants to make friends with you. However, she doesn’t know how to. That’s why she might have offended you with her actions and words! I apologize to this Miss on behalf of my sister!”

As he said that, he cupped his hands and bowed to Lin Yuelan. Lin Yuelan wasn’t that narrow-minded. Since the brother had apologized, she decided to let it be. Besides, the girl didn’t really do anything harmful other than grabbing her stuff and calling her poor.

Lin Yuelan nodded and then asked curiously, “Is your sister like this when she makes friends with everyone?” By insulting them and grabbing their stuff? If that was the case, who would be her friends?

Young Master Liu was once again embarrassed. He placed a fist under his chin and coughed lightly. His face was slightly red as he said, “Oh, no. To be honest, you might be the first person my sister wants to befriend. It’s just that my sister has been spoiled by my parents since she was young. She always has things handed to her. So, in her mind, making friends should be...”

Lin Yuelan finally understood.

This child’s brain was really amusing. The girl thought that calling her poor and snatching her stuff would make Lin Yuelan be interested in befriending her.

But who would have thought that was the case? The girl would get more enemies this way.

Lin Yuelan’s forehead was filled with black lines. She looked at Miss Liu, who was still choking on her tears. Her eyes were still wide open, but they were bright. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and some desire.

Lin Yuelan opened her mouth. Finally, she asked with some confusion, “Miss Liu, why do you want to make friends with a poor girl like me?”

Liu Jiayin did not say anything. Instead, the little girl next to her said with some resentment, “Miss, it’s because Young Miss saw you carrying a tiger on the street. We also heard that you were the one who took down the tiger. She thought you were a heroine and very awe-inspiring. That’s why Young Miss wants to make friends with you.”

‘It all comes back to the tiger. But to be called a heroine because of a tiger didn’t feel so appropriate.’ Lin Yuelan thought the girl had overestimated her.

Lin Yuelan could only say, “But your Young Miss’ ways of making friends are...”

The servant girl huffed and interrupted Lin Yuelan. She said loudly, “Our young miss hasn’t made any friends before. She asked others how to make friends. They said that she needs to get you to get to notice her first.

“It was why my Young Miss did all those things. However, you have completely ignored her and made Young Miss feel so wronged.”

Lin Yuelan didn’t really know what to say. It would be a miracle if the girl could make any friends acting like this. Fortunately, the girl was only 8.

Even though the girl was a little unruly, willful, and arrogant. Overall, she wasn’t a bad person. In a way, she was quite naive.

Besides, based on Young Master Liu and the girl’s appearance, they should be from a rich family. She didn’t mind Lin Yuelan’s poor appearance and tried to befriend her, albeit in a very funny way.

Lin Yuelan thought she could use a friend in them. In the future, when she wanted to open a shop in this town, she could get them to support her. Furthermore, she had to deal with many problems at home as well. Having rich friends could shock the villagers from doing anything stupid.

As the saying goes: it’s easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!

Even if she had Little Green and her superpower, Lin Yuelan couldn’t defend against the ugliness of the human heart.

Therefore, if she had a powerful backer, people would have second thoughts before they decided to attack her.

Now that a strong backer had voluntarily presented herself, why would Lin Yuelan push her away? Of course, she was willing to befriend Young Master Liu and Young Miss Liu because they did have upstanding characters.

Young Master Liu was also speechless when he heard the servant girl. His little sister... was so simple-minded!

He immediately berated the servant girl and said, “Xiao Lv, you should know better than allowing your Young Miss to take advice from strangers. Plus, you can’t let your Young Miss go around insulting people. Jiayin, you’re only making enemies and not friends with what you’re doing. Do you understand?” He explained to Liu Jiayin.

Liu Jiayin understood the lesson. The method she used to attract Lin Yuelan’s attention was wrong. It only made Lin Yuelan confused and angry. No wonder the girl called her crazy.

There were some tears at the corner of Liu Jiayin’s eyes, and there was a slightly confused expression on her face. She asked, “Big Brother, was I wrong then?”

Eldest young master Liu nodded and said, “Yes, Ying ‘er, you did something wrong. So, you have to... Er, Miss, what’s your surname?”

“My surname is Lin.” Lin Yuelan answered.

“Ying ‘Er, you need to apologize to Miss Lin!”

Liu Jiayin was a straightforward and decisive person. Since she realized that she was wrong, she immediately apologized to Lin Yuelan and said, “Miss Lin, I’m sorry. I made a mistake just now. But... I just wanted to get your attention. However, you kept ignoring me. So I got angry.” It wasn’t really an apology, but it was quite cute.

Lin Yuelan burst into laughter, “Miss Liu, your way of making friends is really too special.

“Plus, I was also wrong to call you sick and mad. I apologize.”

Lin Yuelan could feel the girl’s sincerity.

Liu Jiayin’s eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, “Miss, then are we friends now?”
