Chapter 138 - Heartless Little Thing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Qin’s illness did not affect the Lu family. She even said that the Lu family had earned some sympathy in front of everyone. After all, not only had the Lu family’s daughter been taken away when she was born, but she had also been kidnapped.

Everyone in the family was angry because of Pei Qin.

As for Pei Xue, she was sent back to the Pei family. In just one night, she had encountered a huge change. The entire Pei family seemed to have become an outsider.

“You freeloader, get out!”

The Pei family’s youngest grandson had long been spoiled. When Pei Qin was around, they got along well because of the Lu family, but now, it was different.

Not only had Pei Qin been sent to jail, but she had also caused them to have a bad reputation. Of course, the Pei family didn’t like Pei Qin.

On the surface, that woman did not do anything, but when the child said those insulting words, she did not stop her.

After her grandson finished speaking, she looked at Pei Xue’s humiliated and forbearing expression and said slowly.

“Pei Xue, don’t blame your cousin. He’s still a little loose-lipped at his age. You won’t hold it against your little brother, right?”

Pei Xue clenched her chopsticks so tightly that her fingertips turned white.

She forced a smile and said gently.

“Of course I don’t blame my brother.”

What right did she have to blame him now? Her mother had been sentenced. The Lu family, who she had once thought was her backer, had caused everything now. She could no longer go to school.

Even now, Pei Xue still felt that all of this was Lu Xiaocha’s fault. If it weren’t for her, if she hadn’t come back, her life wouldn’t have been like this at all.

…

In Upper City First High School, Pei Xue’s departure did not cause much of a stir.

Lu Xiaocha was still the same as before.

Not many people even knew that she had been kidnapped, let alone that she had single-handedly destroyed a human trafficker’s nest.

After the shock that day, Lu Beichen was even more attached to his sister.

Even his good friend could see this.

Gu Xiao patted his shoulder. “What’s going on, class monitor? You and Sister Xiaocha are about to become conjoined twins.”

Lu Beichen slapped the hand off his shoulder.

“You don’t understand.”

Gu Xiao said, “I don’t understand you. Let’s go and play basketball.”

Lu Beichen slowly tidied up his desk and turned his head to wake up the girl who was sleeping on the table.

“Let’s play basketball.”

Lu Xiaocha yawned and muttered, “Now? The sun is so bright.”

Lu Beichen asked, “I’ll buy you ice cream. Are you coming?”

She propped up her chin and looked out of the window. “Coming!”

The group went to the basketball court. Lu Xiaocha did not play basketball. She hugged her brother’s clothes and sat on the artificial grass to eat ice cream. She was lazy and sleepy.

Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of her. She crossed her legs and looked up.

Oh, it was someone familiar.

“Why are you here?” The girl yawned lazily like a cat.

Fu Ye sat down beside her and flicked Lu Xiaocha’s forehead.

Lu Xiaocha instantly turned around and glared at him.

“What are you doing? You have a death wish!”

She looked fierce.

Fu Ye snorted. “Don’t you know what you did?”

Lu Xiaocha rolled her eyes.

“Why should I tell you?”

Fu Ye’s handsome face instantly darkened. He reached out and ruffled her hair. Then, he was punched by the angry Lu Xiaocha.

“My hair!”

Fu Ye hissed. “I was just worried about you. Why didn’t you tell me after such a big thing happened? Do you think that’s right? I’ve been so good to you for nothing.”

Lu Xiaocha licked the ice cream. “I’m fine, aren’t I? Those guys aren’t my match. What’s there to say? Are you going to publicize that I was kidnapped?”

Fu Ye pinched her cheek.

“I don’t care about the others. Although I’m not your biological brother, I treat you as my sister. You can’t hide such a dangerous thing from me. Also, you’re not allowed to do such a dangerous thing in the future. You have to at least tell me.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded perfunctorily. “Got it, got it.”

As the two of them played around, countless pairs of eyes looked over.

Fu Ye’s presence was too strong and he was so good-looking. From the moment he entered the school, many people had been secretly looking at him.

“Why are you here?”

After getting off the basketball court, Lu Beichen looked at Fu Ye and frowned slightly.

Now, this guy was very disliked in their family.

After all, who would like someone who had ill intentions and wanted to snatch their sister away!

Fu Ye clicked his tongue. “Can’t I come to see you?”

Lu Beichen: “… What a disgusting joke.”

Fu Ye was speechless.

Why were these people from the Lu family so unlikable?

Sister was indeed the best.

“I’ll bring the kid to my house after school.”

Lu Beichen’s reaction was intense. “No, she has to go home with me.”

Fu Ye glanced sideways at the young man. “Ask her yourself. Didn’t she tell my grandfather that she was going to visit him during the holidays? My grandfather is still waiting.”

Lu Xiaocha was speechless.

Wasn’t that just a polite greeting during the video call?

Fu Ye whispered in her ear, “There are crayfish.”

The little girl’s eyes instantly lit up.

She looked at Lu Beichen in all seriousness and nodded. “Yes, Older Brother, Grandpa Fu is still waiting for me. Why don’t you come along?”

Lu Beichen looked at Fu Ye and sneered.

“Sure, I haven’t seen Grandpa Fu in a long time. I’ll go with you.”

Fu Ye touched his nose. Why was this lousy child becoming more and more unlikable?

After school in the afternoon, Fu Ye came to pick them up.

However, because Lu Beichen was going with them this time, he did not ride his beloved heavy motorcycle. Instead, he drove a Land Rover over.

The vehicle was handsome. The young man in black leaning against it was also handsome. The combination of the two exuded a wild and vigorous beauty.

Gu Xiao and the other boys’ eyes were almost glued to it.

“F*ck, that car is so cool. After I get my driver’s license, I’ll definitely get this car too.

Fu Ye played with his sunglasses and saw Lu Xiaocha walking out of the school.

He smiled arrogantly, his deep eyes filled with arrogance.

“Come here.”

Lu Xiaocha walked over unhurriedly with her bag.

“Sit here.”

Fu Ye pushed her into the front passenger seat and turned to Lu Beichen.

“Little Chen, do as you please.”

Lu Beichen: “… Don’t call me Little Chen!”

Fu Ye smiled evilly. “Alright, Little Chen.”

He really deserved a beating.

In the military compound, the overbearing fragrance of crayfish spread far and wide, attracting the attention of everyone else in the compound.

Old Master Fu’s old friend walked to the door with his hands behind his back and shouted, “Old Fu, what’s your family doing? Why does it smell so good?”

As he spoke, he walked in.

Old Master Fu sat in the rocking chair and looked quite happy.

“I’m entertaining a little kid today. I made a big pot of crayfish. Why? Do you want to eat it too?”

One of the old men had a disdainful expression. “Who eats that thing? There’s little meat and a lot of shells. It’s troublesome to peel it. It’s not satisfying at all. I might as well eat my pig trotters.”
