Chapter 233 The Price of Offending Chu Miao!
Wen Minhui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she was secretly anxious, wishing she could get rid of Madam Chen as soon as possible, but Madam Chen couldn't understand her expression at all.
They waited patiently, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Chu Miao leisurely observed Wen Minhui's expression, and soon, her phone received a message.
It was sent by Lu Sili.
"He's here."
"Oh, your poor relative has arrived?" Madam Chen chuckled. "Should you go and greet him? This is the most upscale shopping mall; ordinary people can't get in. Your poor relative from the countryside will probably be kicked out before he even gets in."
Wen Minhui listened to her words and her back began to sweat with anxiety. Just as she was about to tell her to leave quickly, a voice rang out at that moment.
"Are you talking about me, my poor relatives?"
The male voice was clear and cold, yet carried an even deeper chill.
There's also a touch of absurdity in it.
Lu Sili strode in.
He was also wearing a black Korean-style coat, and his hair was carefully styled. He was tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, just like a Korean oppa.
This is his costume for filming. He rushed here in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to change.
His already delicate and strong features were made even more stunning; just standing there was enough to amaze everyone!
"Master Lu, Master Lu!" Madam Chen was stunned when she saw Lu Sili!
Of course she knows Lu Sili!
Most people may only know him as a movie star, but for people from wealthy families like theirs, they know that Lu Sili is the biological son of Old Master Lu!
The title of "Best Actor" is nothing special, but the identity of the second son of the Lu family is enough to make all wealthy families wary.
The Lu family was a prominent family in the capital, a scholarly family with patriarch Lu having countless students, and no one dared to offend him in the slightest!
There are plenty of people eager to curry favor with you!
Madam Chen's eyes widened when she saw Lu Sili; she hadn't expected him to be there at all. She hurriedly said, "Second Master Lu! What are you doing here? You're here to see Minhui, aren't you? You've misunderstood! I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about this woman..."
“You’re talking about me when you’re talking about her.” Lu Sili stood protectively behind Wen Li and Chu Miao. “My younger sister and I are siblings from the same mother. If you’re talking about her, you’re talking about me.”
Lu Sili turned his head, his gaze falling on Wen Li and Chu Miao, his eyes softening instantly.
"Little sister."
"Miaomiao."
"Little...Little sister?!" Madam Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, she simply couldn't believe what she had just heard!
Lu Sili actually calls Wen Li "little sister"?!
Was she hallucinating?!
Isn't Lu Sili's sister Wen Minhui?
Madam Chen hurriedly looked at Wen Minhui, wanting to ask her what had happened, but when she saw Wen Minhui's equally unpleasant expression, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Second Brother, you've arrived." Wen Minhui quickly composed herself, walked to Lu Sili's side, and said gently, "It's just a small matter, how could I trouble you to come over?"
"Miaomiao told me that she and her younger sister were bullied here, and you can't call that a small thing?"
Wen Minhui's face stiffened for a moment, and she said, "There was indeed a misunderstanding just now. My little sister got into an argument with someone, and I have already scolded her severely on her behalf. Second brother, you know that I love my little sister very much. If my little sister is bullied, it will be just as painful for me as if I were bullied."
"Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Miao tilted her head and looked at her. "I can't tell."
"You did speak just now, but it was just a few bland and meaningless words."
"This Mrs. Chen, isn't she your friend? She was calling you Minhui so affectionately just now."
"Are you doing this on purpose? You invited us out shopping, and then you deliberately made her embarrass us here."
Wen Minhui: "..."
Her face turned green.
This was the first time she'd encountered someone so direct, and she didn't know what to say.
Lu Sili frowned and looked at Wen Minhui.
Wen Minhui hurriedly distanced herself from Madam Chen, saying that they were not good friends and that meeting Madam Chen today was just an accident.
Madam Chen was stunned, not expecting her to say that.
"Minhui, how could you say that? I clearly..."
Madam Chen opened her mouth, but when she saw Wen Minhui's gloomy face, she swallowed her words back.
If she still can't understand, then she's a fool.
What she couldn't understand was how Wen Li had suddenly become Master Lu's younger sister, and how Master Lu seemed to care about her much more than he cared about Wen Minhui.
"What did she say about you?" Lu Sili asked, looking at Chu Miao.
"That's a lot."
As for suing, Chu Miao had it all figured out.
“She said my dad was going to jail, my mom was going to be a widow, my maternal grandparents were from the countryside, we had a bunch of poor relatives, and my whole family was no good.”
It was quite rhyming, and they even embellished it a bit.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sili's face turned extremely ugly, and his gaze toward Madam Chen was like a tangible knife, capable of tearing a person to pieces.
However, he didn't argue with a woman. Instead, he said, "Mrs. Chen, you have quite the nerve. I wonder what kind of impressive wealth you have that makes you so arrogant. I remember the Chen family is in the building materials business, right? I have many friends in the building materials business, and some of them are even bigger than the Chen family. I'll give them a heads-up and make sure they 'take good care' of the Chen family. I'm afraid your family won't get any business from now on."
"That's good, it gives President Chen time to properly discipline his wife."
"Second Master Lu!" Madam Chen's face turned deathly pale.
Chu Miao stared at her with a smile: "How about it? What I said before has now come true halfway. Your family is not far from bankruptcy. Next up is your husband."
Mrs. Chen's alarm bells rang loudly, remembering what Chu Miao had just said: their family was going bankrupt and her husband was going to jail.
She still didn't believe it, thinking Chu Miao was exaggerating, but her family really was on the verge of bankruptcy, and what about her husband...?
No, no!
Chu Miao couldn't possibly be that powerful!
Her husband neither steals nor robs; he runs a perfectly legitimate business. Why should he go to jail?!
Even if there were some incriminating evidence, it wouldn't be something a little girl like Chu Miao could find.
Chu Miao must be trying to scare her!
Just as Madam Chen was comforting herself—
"Ding Ding Ding-"
Her cell phone rang.
It's the company's number.
Mrs. Chen subconsciously pressed the answer button, and a voice came from the phone.
"Madam, it's terrible! The police just came to the company again and took the chairman away! They say he's facing charges of tax evasion, embezzlement, and shoddy construction! If it's serious, he might go to jail!"
"Snapped!"
Mrs. Chen's hand holding the phone went limp, and the phone fell to the ground.
She looked up at Chu Miao in horror!
She was absolutely right...
How can it be……
