“Gu Xingyu, doesn’t your knee hurt anymore?” Shen Qinghe turned to glare at her.
Gu Xingyu pouted, ” What I said was the truth. She snatched Siyu’s fiancé and now she even wants to go to the same school as Siyu. Siyu even won a prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad competition previously. If she’s capable enough, she can also participate and use her own abilities to get into Zhenhai High School.”
Seeing that Shen Qinghe was about to hit her, she stuck out her tongue and quickly dodged.
Shen Qinghe knew a thing or two about Lu Miao’s astonishing single-digit results in all subjects in the countryside.
Zhenhai High School was one of the top high schools in the country.
Not to mention whether she could enroll her or not, even if she could, it would be difficult for Lu Miao to keep up with her grades in school.
After thinking about it, she said to Lu Miao tactfully, ” There are many good schools in Luo City. Although Zhenhai High School is good, the requirements were stricter, and there will be more academic pressure. There are a few elite schools that I think are not bad. The environment is relatively better, and there is no pressure to study. There was still some time before school started, so there was no hurry. Why don’t I help you find a few tutors to tutor you first? Then, we’ll decide which school is more suitable for you based on your results?”
“Thank you, Auntie Shen. There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ve already taken care of the school.” Lu Miao said directly.
Shen Qinghe asked hesitantly, ” Really? Do you not need help? ”
Lu Miao was just a child who had just come to the city and had no one to rely on. How could she handle all this?
“There’s really no need.” Lu Miao nodded.
Shen Qinghe thought that Lu Miao was affected by what Gu Xingyu had said and thus she was too proud to accept help.
She smiled. ” Alright, if you need any help, you can look for me anytime. ”
Although she said this, she secretly planned to tell Gu Shiyan about this matter and have him help behind the scenes.
She didn’t want Lu Miao to be unable to enroll in school when school starts and suffer from damaged self-esteem.
After breakfast, Shen Qinghe brought Lu Miao and Gu Xingyu to several high-end boutiques where she frequented.
“The clothes in your room before were prepared according to Lu Siyu’s preferences and sizes. I’ve already instructed Auntie Lan to pack them up. Feel free to pick whatever you need.” Shen Qinghe said.
Although she said to pick, in reality, Shen Qinghe would order people to pack up everything that Lu Miao glanced at without even giving her a chance to refuse.
Rather than saying that she was shopping, it was more like a sweeping operation.
Lu Miao suspected that Shen Qinghe was preparing to empty the mall with such a grand gesture.
The salespeople in those shops were all smiling widely and showering them with praises.
“This black dress really suits Miss Lu. It makes your skin look fair and your legs look longer. It’s practically tailor-made for you.”
” It’s a limited edition dress. It’s the only one in the entire Luo City. Only such a dress can match your unparalleled beauty and perfect figure. ”
The few of them worked together, almost praising Lu Miao to the sky.
However, compared to dresses, Lu Miao still felt that pants were more convenient.
Shen Qinghe was dragged to the fitting room by Gu Xingyu and Lu Miao was about to go back to change into her clothes.
“Sister, why are you here?”
Lu Miao turned her head and saw Lu Siyu and Qin Shuang. Lu Qin just happened to walk in from outside.
Lu Miao turned around expressionlessly and was about to leave.
Lu Qin scolded coldly, ” You didn’t even greet your parents when you saw them. Where are your manners? ”
Qin Shuang reached out and pinched him secretly from behind.
The Gu family’s huge dowry was still in Lu Miao’s hands.
Although they could also inherit all the money after Lu Miao died, now that Mrs. Gu had intervened, it was better to coax her to hand over the dowry as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
Moreover, Lu Miao had only received the money for a few days, and she dared to come to this kind of shop to buy clothes.
One set cost six figures. If she bought a few more sets, she would have to spend millions at a time.
She was not worthy of it!
All this money belonged to the Lu family, and Lu Miao’s every expense was painful to her.
Qin Shuang quickly smiled and went forward. ” Don’t be afraid, Miao Miao. Your father was worried that you would be bullied in the Gu family, so he was a little anxious. He didn’t mean it. Let’s go home together later. The servants at home have been preparing delicious food for you. They’re waiting for you to go back.”
When Lu Miao heard the word ‘delicious’, the usually calm Lu Miao couldn’t help but feel the temples twitch twice.
The food they had prepared for her in the past few days at the Lu family was the worst food she had ever eaten in her two lifetimes.
Other than cold bread and milk, there were leftovers that they did not like to eat.
Even the neighbor’s dog would not eat it.
“No need. I still have to go back to the Gu family later.”
How could Qin Shuang let go of such a good opportunity?
She pulled her warmly. ” It’s okay. I’ll personally call the Gu family and ask them to let you stay with us for a few days. Siyu just happened to be coming to buy clothes today too. You two sisters can pick together.”
Lu Siyu had already walked around the shop. Finally, her eyes shone brightly as she looked at the dress Lu Miao was wearing. She asked the shop assistant directly, ” Do you still have this dress? ”
The shop assistant shook her head. ” I’m sorry, but this dress is limited worldwide. There’s only one in Luo City. ”
When Lu Siyu heard that it was limited worldwide, she could not help but be even more tempted.
Only such a dress was worthy of her.
Looking at Lu Miao’s cold expression, she bit her lip and said regretfully, ” Sister, the dress you’re wearing is so beautiful. I like it too. It’s a pity there’s only one in the entire Luo City.”
Qin Shuang smiled and looked at Lu Miao, ” Siyu is right. This dress is very beautiful. It’s good that you bought it. You sisters can take turns wearing it. The school would start in a few days. Siyu had won a prize in the Mathematical Olympiad competition, and the school wanted her to be the freshman representative to speak at the opening ceremony. This is a good opportunity to win glory for our Lu family. Naturally, we have to dress up beautifully. You’re the older sister, so you have to give in to your younger sister. When we get back, let your sister wear it for the opening ceremony. She’ll return it to you after she’s done.”
Qin Shuang had planned it well. She made Lu Miao spend money to buy this dress for Lu Siyu, and they wouldn’t be able to ask for it back later. They saved money, got Lu Siyu a new dress that she liked, and could also use this opportunity to take Lu Miao back and persuade her to return the dowry.
Does she really think Lu Miao is a fool?
Lu Miao sneered. ” According to the hospital records, she was born at six in the morning, two hours older than me. In terms of blood relations, I have nothing to do with her either. So, don’t be so intimate. Please remember this. From the day I left the Lu family, I had nothing to do with you and the Lu family anymore. She wants to wear this dress, no problem. Five million, cash or credit card?”
“Bastard, why don’t you go rob a bank for five million? Siyu calling you sister is giving you face, stop being so shameless.” Lu Qin scolded angrily.
Lu Qin’s face darkened. ” I think you’ve only been in the Gu family for a few days and you’ve already forgotten your surname. ”
Lu Miao looked at him coldly. ” I can call myself Lu Miao, or I can change my surname to Zhang Wang Li Zhao. Whatever Miao I chose, what does it have to do with you? ”
Lu Qin’s old face turned red from being rebuked. He pointed at Lu Miao with trembling fingers. ” You…” You … You have no respect for your elders. You’re so rude. Today, I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter.”
As he spoke, he turned around and grabbed the coat hanger next to him, and viciously swung it toward Lu Miao.
Looking at his fierce face, Lu Miao remained expressionless, unafraid of someone who dared to lay a hand on a top-level metaphysics master.
His finger twitched, about to take action.
Suddenly, a pale and slender hand appeared from the side and grabbed the coat hanger.
“You’re courting death…”
