Lu Mian stopped in her tracks with one hand on her bag strap and the other in her pants pocket.

She lent her school uniform to Sui Yuan and was only wearing a basic white T-shirt.

The collar of the shirt was loose and crinkly with some loose strands, which made it look cheap.

However, there was another type of fashion sense when it was worn on her.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Fu Man coldly. “What do you want to say?”

The voice was chilling to the bone.

Fu Man could not help but shiver, and her eyes wavered, weakening her presence.

It was that gaze again!

That gaze that made her fear from the bottom of her heart.

The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

The atmosphere in the living room was quiet, dead and suffocating.

In the silence, Lu Xinnuan slowly stood up and reminded, “Sis, Mom said your form teacher called her today.”

Fu Man immediately recovered to her senses and resumed her previous energy.

“Lu Mian, tell me, what exactly do you want? I’ve told you that your Second Uncle had spent so much effort to plead to the people in the Education Ministry to give you this chance to enter Kun Peng Middle School. Why do you always skip lessons and make people worry?”

Lu Mian cracked her neck, threw her bag onto the floor and crossed her arms.

“So?”

Fu Man clenched her teeth silently.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“You… If you don’t go to school properly, I’ll just not waste my money on your school fees!”

It would be more valuable to spend all the money on Nuannuan.

“Mom, Sister is only 19… What can she do if she doesn’t go to school?”

“Is 19 considered young? Other people go to university at 19. Look at her, she’s only in the tenth grade. If it wasn’t because of the trouble she caused and brought you down with her, you would have been in your favorite university now.”

Lu Xinnuan looked down, shook her head and said faintly, “It’s all in the past. I don’t blame Sister.”

Except for those with later birthdays, all the 19 year-olds would normally be in university already.

She and Lu Mian were both 19, but the reason they were a year later than the rest was because of an accident that happened when they were six, which caused both of them to retain a year.

Lu Mian stood there and her good-looking lips looked harsh and cold. She looked at Fu Man. “I’ll explain one more time. I didn’t cause Lu Xinnuan to fall down and fracture her elbow when we were six.”

“What’s the use of saying that now?” Fu Man retorted and did not want to argue about it. She directly skipped past it. “There are many people working outside at the age of 19.”

In the end, she made up her mind and said harshly, “This won’t do. Lu Mian, quit school.”

“You want Sister to work?” Lu Xinnuan gasped out an explanation, “Mom, she just came back…”

“Do you think she cares about this family? She doesn’t even say where she goes in the day and how can a lady like her come home so late?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Actually, Uncle did say that he could arrange a position for Sister in his office. Mom, let’s ask Uncle for help. Perhaps he could arrange for her to do something light, and she could even earn three or four thousand a month,” suggested Lu Xinnuan.

Lu Mian understood what they meant, but she was not angry and even found it interesting.

She leaned against the wall and seriously listened to what they said, as if she was watching a play.

However, Fu Man hurriedly shook her head when Lu Xiannuan brought up the second family.

“No. We can’t trouble your Second Uncle anymore. I can’t do it. Back then, we borrowed close to 5 million from them and we haven’t paid back 4.5 million. The other time, we also asked him to use his connections and find a school for your sister. How can I ask him to give her a job again?”

“Then what should we do…?”

The mother and daughter were stuck in a difficult position, while Lu Zhizhai just continued reading his documents on the couch. He was very cold and distant, as if he was an outsider.

Lu Mian shook her head and slowly walked to the mother-daughter duo.

She placed one hand on Fu Man’s shoulder and the other on Lu Xinnuan’s in a frivolous and flamboyant attitude.

She chuckled lightly and slowly said, “Stop acting. It’s pretty tiring.”
