Chapter 12: Was She Invited?
At this time, Lu Mian, who was ‘not feeling well’, was strolling leisurely in the Su family’s back garden.
Her attire was still casual with a pair of flip-flops as she walked leisurely on the flagstone path.
The Su family’s security system was just for decoration. She could come and go even without an invitation.
Su Jue quickly noticed the strange girl. His eyebrows knitted into a frown.
“Who are you?”
The guests were usually in the front garden. Those who were in the back were naturally one of their own or close friends.
However, he had no impression of such a tall and skinny girl.
Lu Mian stopped in her tracks with a look of confusion on her aloof face. It was a surprising contrast.
She asked him instead, “Who are you?”
“…”
Shocked, Su Jue quickly introduced himself. “I am Su Jue, the young master of the Su family!”
It dawned on Lu Mian. Oh, this was Elder Su’s grandson. It had been years since they last met and she almost forgot about this person.
She nodded and continued to move forward wearing her flip-flop.
Her behavior was even more haughty than Su Jue, the owner.
Su Jue felt provoked. He chased after her and shouted, “Stop! That is my grandfather’s residence. You can’t go over there!”
Soon, his voice drew Lu Xinnuan.
Lu Xinnuan was more than ten meters away, looking at the imposing Su Jue and then at Lu Mian. She broke into a cold sweat.
She hesitated for a moment before turning around and left the back garden.
“Uncle, Auntie, I just saw Mianmian in the back garden… She seems to be fighting with Su Jue…”
Lu Xingtang was having a pleasant conversation. He spoke in a cold voice.
“Why is she here? Didn’t she stay at home as she was asked?”
“I’m not sure. You should go and take a look…”
When she said that, a large group of people had already come into the back garden.
They arrived in time to see Lu Mian grab Su Jue’s right hand and hold him down. Su Jue’s face turned scarlet.
The crowd was stunned and startled.
At any rate, Su Jue was a hot-blooded, 1.8 meters tall boy. How was he restrained by a young girl?
“Stop!”
Lu Xingtang couldn’t care less about the finger-pointing of the bystanders and rushed over to rescue Su Jue.
“Mianmian, what are you doing here? You even hit someone?” He whispered in a tone that was less accusing, but not that nice either.
“Is there some misunderstanding?” Lu Xinnuan asked cautiously.
Fei Jinlan shook her head. She sounded displeased.
“How is that possible? Is she invited? Should she even be here or hurt someone?” It was bad enough that she came uninvited, but she also stirred trouble.
After the triple strike, the couple quickly apologized to the Su family.
“Elder Su, this is my eldest niece. She just came back and she’s ignorant.”
“Oh…”
The group of people sized Lu Mian up with a strange look.
This was the girl from the Lu Family who had been kidnapped for two years and had just returned. Why was she here?
Geez. She must be mentally ill with that weird and evil look on her face.
The crowd unconsciously took a few steps away from her.
Su Jue paused too. So, she… was the one who had refused his grandfather’s invitation!
Lu Mian ignored everything as she dusted the non-existent dust on her body and continued to walk deeper into the garden.
“Lu Mian, apologize to Su Jue and leave the Su family now!”
“Mianmian, why don’t you go back first…” Lu Xinnuan whispered her advice.
In reality, she didn’t want to mention this sister of hers in front of so many people.
It was humiliating.
However, when she saw the embarrassed look on Lu Mian, her mood improved.
It was Grandpa Su’s reception today. Everyone was happy and respectful, but Lu Mian made such a mess and stalled the banquet.
This time, she would be punished badly…
Just as everyone’s condemning and inquiring eyes fell on Lu Mian, a voice came out from the direction of the small building.
“She is a guest I invited. Who dares to chase her away?”
