Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Come, Publicly Slap Fu Siya in the Face
It was Fu Siya.
The last time Lu Sheng saw Fu Siya was the day before yesterday in the VIP reception room on the second floor of the piano competition venue.
At that time, as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Fu Siya deliberately spilling water on Li Muchen’s chest, and then her whole body was almost clinging to Li Muchen.
Chen An later sent her a message explaining that after she left, Li Muchen pushed Fu Siya away with one hand and even directly asked her to get lost in front of the other people in the room.
Even the suit jacket and waistcoat that Fu Siya had touched were stripped off and thrown away with a look of disgust.
In short, he did not leave any face for Fu Siya.
When Fu Siya ran out, she was almost in tears.
At that time when Grandpa Fu was poisoned at the Fu Family, Li Muchen defended her like that in front of everyone, and afterwards, he never concealed his care for her.
Fu Siya must have remembered this grudge and pinned this jealousy on her head.
Just now, in front of the saleswomen, Fu Siya said that Lu Sheng was an illegitimate daughter from the countryside, only daring to shop in such a high-end store by clinging to Li Muchen and spending his money.
And she also directly insulted Lu Sheng from a position of superiority, calling her shameless.
The saleswoman at the door, who had been scared speechless by Lu Sheng earlier, straightened her back immediately upon hearing this.
Oh I see, so that’s what this is about.
I thought she was some low-profile precious daughter, and I was still scared I had offended her, but turns out it’s just some country girl who’s kept by a rich big shot, selling her body for money without caring at all about her face, and at such a young age too.
And she’s an illegitimate daughter.
Probably got that shamelessness from her mother.
Engaging in such disgusting acts, not even trying to hide them, and she had the audacity to put on airs here just now, spit.
That saleswoman immediately glanced at Lu Sheng with disdain, her rolling eyes almost flying up to the sky.
Juanjuan didn’t know the woman in front of her who was acting high and mighty with a face full of scorn, but she could see Fu Siya’s hostility towards Lu Sheng and couldn’t help but pull at Lu Sheng’s sleeve.
Lu Sheng’s gaze turned instantly cold as she looked at Fu Siya on the sofa: "Who told you that the money I spend on shopping is Li Muchen’s?"
Hearing this, Fu Siya sneered outright: "What, you’re not going to tell me that it’s your own money, are you?"
"You, an illegitimate daughter from the countryside who is still in high school, where do you get the money? Not to mention a million, do you even have $10,000?"
Fu Siya looked at her with disdain.
The saleswomen around all started to watch the excitement.
They didn’t know Lu Sheng, but who doesn’t know Miss Fu, the CEO of the Fu Group, the real precious daughter of the Fu Family?
The items the young girl had been selecting were all bought by Miss Fu, and no matter what, she would have to leave with nothing, crestfallen.
Thinking about this scene, they all felt embarrassed for her.
Just as Fu Siya sat on the couch with her arms folded, waiting to see the joke of Lu Sheng leaving with a grey face, Lu Sheng suddenly laughed lightly.
Fu Siya was immediately displeased and asked coldly with a frown: "What are you laughing at?"
In this situation, anyone with a bit of pride would feel utterly embarrassed and want to run away fast, right?
And yet this person can still stand here and laugh?
Lu Sheng lifted her eyes to look at Fu Siya, with undisguised contempt and spoke coldly: "Of course I’m laughing at you."
"I laugh at you claiming in media interviews that you’re a new-era independent woman, that your existence breaks social stereotypes that women can’t become industry leaders."
"But in reality, the person who has been tamed by the social stereotypes about women is exactly you."
Hearing this, Fu Siya widened her eyes: "...What did you say?"
"Why do you think I’m clinging to the powerful Li Family? Because you believe that Li Muchen’s background and wealth sit at the pinnacle of Jiang City, and as a love child of the Lu Family, if I’m with him, I must be after his money, seeking his protection, aiming to transcend class barriers."
"Why, when I am choosing a million-dollar item in the store today, do you immediately conclude that I’m spending Li Muchen’s money? Because you think it’s impossible for a country girl like me, still in high school, to have so much money. And if I do, it must have come from a man."
"In the end, you believe the relationship between me and Li Muchen is solely based on my reliance on his financial power."
"Women from impoverished backgrounds can only become attachments to upper-class men, powerless women can only obtain wealth by selling their looks, and minor girls simply lack the ability and means to make legitimate money."
"Your judgments stem from your perspective and pattern of thought, which isn’t necessarily wrong, but it does make you rather pitiable."
Lu Sheng lifted her eyes, "There are many smart, excellent, independent, and self-sufficient young women in this world, but clearly, you are not one of them."
Lu Sheng’s words contained no profanity or deliberate sarcasm.
She simply stated what she considered to be facts in a calm and serene manner, yet it was as if she had slapped Fu Siya across the face.
The lethality of "There are many smart, excellent, independent and self-sufficient young women, but clearly, you are not one of them" was immense.
After all, Fu Siya always believed she was the most capable and had the broadest vision among those precious daughters of the upper echelon.
However, Lu Sheng’s words had firmly slapped her face in public.
Regardless of whether the young girl spent Li Family’s money today, what she did and said earlier indeed exposed a very narrow mindset.
A CEO of a publicly listed company trying to snatch an item that a high school student had already selected, just to embarrass her, and uttering such unpleasant words to mock her.
The more composed and graceful the young girl was, the pettier and more spiteful Fu Siya appeared by comparison.
Stunned into silence by Lu Sheng, Fu Siya found herself the focus of onlooking sales staff who were quietly glancing at her.
Her face flushed red then turned white, her embarrassment turning to rage: "What are you looking at! Don’t you have work to do?"
Fu Siya spun her head around, preparing to continue arguing with Lu Sheng, but then she saw the girl heading towards the front desk.
Lu Sheng asked the front desk, "You just said that the store’s items are unique, and members with higher levels have priority to purchase. May I ask, what is Miss Fu’s membership level?"
"Uh..." The front desk clerk took a few seconds to react before glancing at the computer screen which showed [VIP4] and said, "Miss Fu is a Level 4 Member here."
No one knew the rules of The Thorn Birds better than Lu Sheng.
Membership levels are based on cumulative spending in the store.
Spending over $1 million earns Level 1 Member, $2 million for Level 2 Member, $4 million for Level 3 Member, $8 million for Level 4 Member, and more than $16 million for Level 5 Member.
In other words, Fu Siya had previously spent at least $8 million at The Thorn Birds, no wonder she acted so haughtily here.
"I am also a member of The Thorn Birds," Lu Sheng directly addressed the front desk, "I’ll report my membership card number and then enter my password."
Lu Sheng is a member of The Thorn Birds as well?
Upon hearing this, Fu Siya couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
To become a member of The Thorn Birds, one must first spend at least $1 million and, after applying, wait a month to officially join.
Hadn’t Lu Sheng only come to Jiang City from the countryside a few days ago? She didn’t even know Li Muchen a month ago, did she?
That meant, it was impossible for her to have become a member by spending Li Muchen’s money. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
The front desk clerk entered the numbers reported by Lu Sheng into the computer, and Lu Sheng lifted her hand to enter the password.
However, upon pressing enter and seeing the text displayed on the computer, the front desk’s eyes widened in shock, her eyeballs nearly falling out.
Her voice trembled, "S...SVIP? Miss, you are our SVIP in the store, and there is still a balance of..."
Individual, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million.
...A full eight digits.
The front desk sucked in a breath of cold air and spoke shakily, "...You have a remaining balance of $30 million on your card available for store purchases."
