Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

Chapter 714 - 12: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (12)

"Guess all you want, this matter has nothing to do with you. As for Fu Lihan’s card, the money inside is what I deserve. If you feel unfair for him, you can have him come find me again."Just perfect, another chance to fleece him.

Looking at Jiang Lai’s indifferent attitude, Zhao Zhaozhao felt like ants were gnawing at her insides, her curiosity mounting to anxiety.

She hadn’t been sleeping well lately, just wanting to know where on earth Jiang Lai got the money to buy such an expensive house.

So she took the initiative to bend, to invite for a meal.

But in the end, the meal was over, yet she still couldn’t pry a single word out.

Zhao Zhaozhao inexplicably felt betrayed.

Jiang Lai secretly getting better, yet still guarded against her, afraid she’d discover her secret.

They’re friends who know each other well, what secret could she possibly have that she can’t share?

Seeing her so anxious yet unable to show it, Jiang Lai’s appetite improved, and she grandly ordered another five pounds of crawfish.

"Do you still want to eat more?"

The crawfish here were outrageously expensive, clearly preying on tourists, at a hundred per pound Jiang Lai had already ordered ten pounds!

She had a bit of money, but not enough to eat a thousand yuan worth of crawfish in one meal without batting an eye.

Jiang Lai looked puzzled.

"What’s wrong? Can’t afford it? You should’ve said so earlier, then just pay for the crawfish and leave. If I’m not full, I’ll just get something else."

Zhao Zhaozhao couldn’t even muster a laugh.

Insisting on sitting here, insisting on eating crawfish at a hundred per pound, yet saying nothing about her own matters.

Jiang Lai clearly didn’t regard her as a good friend!

"How could that be, you eat more, I’ll go look around over there and pack up some barbecue for you."

Jiang Lai continued to eat.

Although expensive, the crawfish were indeed well-cooked.

Little Buding was nearly dying with envy.

"Can you not talk to me while you’re eating next time?"

"Can’t do that, can’t play on my phone, no one to chat with, it’s so boring."

"So you just let me watch you eat?"

"You can drink some water too."

"Be a human, Jiang Lai, never mind, someone will be here to chat with you soon, don’t call me in such situations next time!"

Just as Little Buding finished speaking, a man in a shirt holding a suit sat down directly.

Jiang Lai first noticed the straight and long legs under the suit pants. She couldn’t be bothered to look up, watching those legs seem endless until he finally sat down, with his long legs almost occupying the entire space under the table.

Jiang Lai looked at him, her mouth still stained with crawfish sauce.

"You... um..."

Along with the crawfish, Jiang Lai had drunk quite a bit of beer, and this body was a bit intolerant to alcohol, so her mind was a bit fuzzy, and she couldn’t remember the name of her cheap older brother for a moment.

"Lu Zhixing, your brother."

"Yeah, I know."

Lu Zhixing looked at the sister across from him, her face red from drinking, and his eyes softened a bit.

This was his sister, his favorite "little doll" from childhood.

Back then, he was seven years old, and he didn’t know what the word sister meant, only that the family suddenly had a little doll who was carved from jade, always smiling, with a soft body full of a milky fragrance when held.

Then, the nanny who had worked at home for more than a dozen years suddenly disappeared, and with her, his sister vanished together.

After that, the whole family went crazy searching throughout the whole city, and then expanded the search nationwide, worldwide.

Disappointment followed hopelessness again and again, just when the family thought they could never find this child again, suddenly, she reached out to them herself.

To be absolutely sure, he sent blood samples to three different institutions for verification.

The final results were consistent.

She was indeed the Lu Family’s lost child, his long-lost sister.

The feeling was like a pie falling from the sky, an utterly impossible thing just happened.

No matter whether it was deliberate or not, they only needed to know one thing, the girl in front of them was the Lu Family’s child.

"Initially, I didn’t tell mom and dad because they’re old and can’t handle the shock.

So until I was absolutely sure, I didn’t tell anyone about this."

"Mm, that makes sense."

Jiang Lai seemed indifferent.

"Come home with me, mom and dad know about you."

"Then let’s find a chance to have a meal together."

Jiang Lai knew that yesterday, a luxury car had been stopping at the entrance of their community from time to time, with the Lu Family couple inside, something Little Buding had told her long ago.

"Mom and dad have been searching for you all these years wondering so hard; they really care about you. If you’re willing, I hope you can return to the Lu Family, come back to us."

"But what about my mom? She’s all alone now, only has me by her side."

Moreover, Cai Xian was her task target, so Jiang Lai couldn’t leave her.

Lu Zhixing nodded.

"I’ve considered that issue, so mom and dad plan to move to your current house next door. This way, we can see you anytime, and you won’t have to leave the mother you’re staying with now."

Lu Zhixing spoke softly, each word was clear. Even in this chaotic, noisy environment, he seemed to have a built-in shielding system, exuding an innate sense of grace and demeanor.

When speaking with Jiang Lai, he would first quietly listen to her words before expressing his own thoughts.

This showed the Lu Family had a good upbringing.

Jiang Lai watched him sitting properly and casually said.

"I understand what you mean, nice to meet you, brother."

After drinking, Jiang Lai belatedly realized that the Lu Family were also her task targets.

If nothing went wrong, this entire family would be ruined by the male lead within five years.

How tragic, being a perfectly good richest family, but just because they’re not the protagonists, a century-old family business would be easily destroyed.

Lu Zhixing was stunned.

The word brother was so unfamiliar to him. He thought he might not adapt to this change in identity, but surprisingly, he liked the title very much.

The girl who drank, with her red cheeks and misty eyes, spoke slurred words, much like when she was a child babbling her first words.

"Now, let me take you home."

"No need, I’m not done eating yet."

"That’s fine, eat, and I’ll accompany you."

In such a crowded, chaotic place, he couldn’t just let Jiang Lai sit here alone drinking and eating.

It was evident that his sister really liked these strong-flavored dishes.

Mr. Lu silently noted down her preference and then quietly watched her.

Seeing the sauce on her lips, Lu Zhixing pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Here, watch out it might get into your eye."

Jiang Lai glanced at it.

Hmm, a handkerchief worth over ten thousand, being used as a disposable napkin.
