Chapter 664: Chapter 7: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 7)

Lu Huan smiled coldly.

"You really know how to hold a grudge."

"And you’re quite scheming."

Straightforward, huh? Who isn’t?

[Wow, are these two really fighting openly?]

[Is Jiang Lai okay? Acting like someone is coveting her bit of flour, is it worth treating everyone like monkeys?]

[Hahaha, Jiang Lai really speaks sharply. Why should someone share the flour they worked hard to grind with you?]

[Guys, I think Lu Huan was indeed out of line, but Jiang Lai is being too petty, isn’t she?]

[If I were Jiang Lai, I’d slap each one of them. If you want to eat, get it yourself!]

[Four women, one drama. I can already see how dramatic this show is going to be.]

[Why is it a problem that Huanhuan speaks her mind? She doesn’t have any bad intentions. Who is Jiang Lai trying to test?]

Lu Huan’s smile was about to vanish from her face.

She didn’t expect Jiang Lai to be such a scheming person. She used to think all the guests on this show were nice.

Now it seems that Jiang Lai is going to be a problem.

"Forget it, you’re overthinking. I’m no match for you."

After saying this, Lu Huan jumped up from the sofa and went straight to the kitchen, smiling brightly as she approached Lu Ming.

"Dear little brother, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Ming looked at her helplessly.

"Just don’t make a mess."

"Is that how you speak to your sister? Never mind, just give me something to do."

"Go wash the dishes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Huan grumbled reluctantly.

"I just did my nails; I can’t wash dishes."

"Then why don’t you go outside and get some eggs?"

Lu Huan shook her head again.

"No way, I’m afraid of animals with sharp beaks. You know that."

"Then can you just take care of yourself, please?"

"I can do that. You keep it up. I’ll go outside to see if I can gather some mushrooms or something. I want cream of mushroom soup."

[Lu Ming: Sis, could you please stop making a fuss?]

[Gosh, please give me a little brother like Lu!]

[The sibling interaction is really heartwarming. The brother truly treats the sister like a little sister!]

[Without comparison, there’s no harm. Jiang Qu is really speechless.]

And with that, Lu Huan glanced at Jiang Lai with a smile. As she passed by, she sighed helplessly.

"I really envy your brother for having such a capable sister. Unlike me, who’s a useless person relying on my brother for everything."

"You’re already twenty-five, a grown woman with no ability to take care of yourself. I wonder if your brother could still attend to you like this once he gets married."

"Even if my brother gets married, he’ll still be good to me. We’ll always live together. Even if he gets married, we’ll live together. Hahaha, don’t worry."

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Hmm, then when he gets married, his wife will sleep on the left side, and you on the right."

"You! Jiang Lai, your mind is really filthy."

"What did I say? His wife sleeps in the left room, you in the right room, and your brother in the middle room. This way, he can take care of both of you easily. Do I have a point?"

Seeing that she couldn’t out-talk Jiang Lai, Lu Huan left with a stern look.

[Jiang Lai has such a sharp tongue! People like this are really annoying!]

[Hahaha, why do I feel that the brother who has to live with his sister even after marriage is more miserable?]

[First time seeing a sister obsessed with her brother. Eye-opening.]

[Put yourself in his shoes. If I were his girlfriend, I’d probably feel suffocated.]

[Come on, they’re just close siblings. What are you all thinking about? Lu is so great; lots of people want to marry him! You don’t need to worry about it!]

[Hmm, I hope you can say the same when your husband hangs out with his sister all the time.]

Lu Huan was holding back her anger, feeling that Jiang Lai was targeting her.

This kind of person is just jealous of the good relationship she has with her brother, while she can only play the role of a dutiful drudge.

Thinking this made Lu Huan feel a bit better.

While everyone was busy in the kitchen, Lu Huan wandered outside alone. She noticed a wild cherry tree growing in the grassland, full of alluring light yellow cherries.

The cherry tree was a bit tall, and there might be bugs on it, so she didn’t want to climb up by herself.

Just then, a little girl walked over from a distance. Upon closer look, it was Han Li’s younger sister, Han Lu.

The ten-year-old girl was charmingly pretty and obedient. Lu Huan called her over, smiling sweetly as she asked.

"Lu Lu, do you want to eat cherries?"

Han Lu looked at the cherry tree above her head and then nodded.

"Sister knew you wanted to eat. How about this, go call Jiang Qu over to help you pick them. He’s tall enough to reach easily."

Without thinking much, Han Lu ran directly to the vegetable garden and found Jiang Qu, who was about to collect some eggs.

"Brother Jiang Qu, do you want to eat cherries?"

Jiang Qu glanced at the cherry tree nearby. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered his agreement with Jiang Lai, so he just shook his head.

Han Lu smiled awkwardly.

"I want to eat them, but the tree is too tall for me to reach."

Jiang Qu didn’t say anything, set the basket down, and walked over to the tree.

Being tall, he easily climbed up the cherry tree trunk and picked a handful to pass down to Han Lu.

Just as Han Lu was about to take them, Lu Huan reached out and intercepted them midway, so all the cherries ended up in her hands.

"Pick some more; I’ll help hold them."

Jiang Qu couldn’t speak. Even though he felt a bit impatient, he continued to climb higher.

The cherries below had mostly been eaten by birds, so to get more, he had to keep climbing up.

Handfuls of cherries were thrown down, and Lu Huan caught them with Han Lu’s jacket.

The weather was hot, and Jiang Qu felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. When he reached up to scratch it, his foot slipped, and he uncontrollably fell backward. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With a "thud," Jiang Qu fell heavily onto the grass.

His mind buzzed, and his vision went dark. It took a while before he could see clearly again.

Han Lu looked at him worriedly.

"Brother Jiang Qu, are you okay?"

Jiang Qu frowned, trying to sit up. Just as he was preparing to stand, the pain in his palm made him shiver.

A long cut ran across his palm.

Luckily, the grass below was thick, so despite the fall, there was no major issue.

Lu Huan glanced over without concern.

"The tree’s not high, and there’s grass beneath, so it’s nothing serious. Men shouldn’t worry about small wounds. I’ll bandage you up once we get back."

Jiang Qu said nothing and got up to leave.

Lu Huan carried the cherries back inside, washed them, and immediately tried one.

Sweet and sour, they were really delicious. The pit was small, and each bite was full of thick flesh.

She grabbed a small handful for Han Lu.

"Here, they’re a bit sour, not really tasty. What’s left would be wasted if not eaten. I’ll take the rest to Lu Ming for making some cherry jam."
