Chapter 120: Chapter 120 The Welcome Banquet Prepared by Her Five Brothers
The boutique was already very quiet with only a few customers like Lu Sheng, Juanjuan, and Fu Siya, and since no one dared to speak, it was very silent.
As soon as the receptionist said those words, not to mention all the sales associates sucked in a breath of cold air, even Fu Siya was shocked wide-eyed.
——SVIP?!
Fu Siya had previously asked The Thorn Birds’ staff how much one had to spend to become an SVIP in their store.
The staff replied, SVIP status wasn’t about cumulative spending, it was personally bestowed by Mrs. Qiangwei herself.
SVIPs had the priority right to purchase any goods in The Thorn Birds store, and Mrs. Qiangwei’s exclusive designs, not open to the public, were only available for SVIPs to buy.
At that time, Fu Siya asked whether Jiang City had any SVIP of The Thorn Birds.
The staff said, only Crystal’s Director Ellison and Bailin Group’s President Meng Lin were.
Fu Siya could understand Gu Zhi and Meng Lin — it was said Ellison had always been very close to Mrs. Qiangwei, and that Meng Lin indeed had wealth, power, and connections.
But this Lu Sheng in front of her, how could Lu Sheng be an SVIP??
A country bumpkin girl, how could she possibly know a big shot like Mrs. Qiangwei??
And there was also the balance in her member’s card, the staff must have read it wrong, how could she possibly have thirty million in her card?!
Everyone was so stunned that they were at a loss for words, only Lu Sheng remained calm.
It was on a whim at the time, while she was getting SVIP cards for Gu Zhi and Meng Lin, she casually got herself one too.
She also casually deposited a sum of money into the card, if not for the receptionist just now mentioning it, she would have forgotten about the amount she had.
This way, she was saving money for herself now.
Lu Sheng looked up at the receptionist and said, "Now, can I take away the things I’ve bought?"
"Of course, of course, you certainly can." The receptionist immediately nodded, hastily packing up the gifts for Lu Sheng.
When it comes to membership levels, this young lady’s SVIP status was way cooler than that Miss Fu’s VIP4.
It wouldn’t be too much to call her a top-tier honored guest, and a minor receptionist like her didn’t dare to neglect her.
"Deduct the money directly from my card," said Lu Sheng, "Also, I need you to retrieve something for me."
"The paired rings of Qiangwei and Thornbird should be stored in this store, right? Please get that for me."
"The pair of Qiangwei and Thornbird rings?"
Upon hearing this, the manager took a deep breath and hurried over, forcing himself to remain composed, "Miss, that pair of rings is one of our madame’s most prized design works, also the treasure of our store, priced at twenty million..."
"I know," said Lu Sheng casually, "Isn’t there thirty million in the card? Just deduct it directly. Make the packaging nice, it’s a gift."
... Just deduct it directly.
... Just deduct it.
... Deducted.
The receptionist almost had tears in her eyes.
How can this young girl spend twenty million as casually as they spend two million!
The insult isn’t so damaging, but it’s profoundly humiliating.
And to think twenty million is spent on a pair of rings that are to be given away; who is this incredibly lucky man, *sob sob sob*, she suddenly hates so much that she isn’t a man *sob sob sob*.
The manager also took a deep breath to calm himself, then personally went to the store’s safe to take out the pair of rings.
Then personally and meticulously wrapped it up for Lu Sheng, and with utmost respect, handed it to her himself.
Lu Sheng took it, grabbed the other dozen shopping bags together with Juanjuan, said thanks to the manager and receptionist, and walked straight out of the store.
During the process, she never looked back at Fu Siya.
Originally there were only a few customers in the store, and now only Fu Siya and her chauffeur were left.
Fu Siya sat on the sofa, eyes widened, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
She originally came today to make Lu Sheng publicly embarrass herself, so why in the end, was she the one who ended up embarrassed?
Not only did she fail to snatch away the things Lu Sheng bought, even her membership level wasn’t as high as Lu Sheng’s.
Fu Siya has always been proud and aloof, never before publicly humiliated to such an extent.
At this moment, she was indeed consumed by anger, yet she restrained herself from erupting.
After all, she had to maintain the dignity of the Fu Family and the Fu Group.
Biting her teeth, Fu Siya stood up and headed straight out of the store.
When she was sitting in the car, her mobile phone’s notification tone chimed. She picked it up and saw a message from Lu Qianrou.
[Siya, our school is hosting a school celebration garden party, and Yiyi, Lin Ya, and the others thought about setting up a beauty cafe.]
[So, I wanted to ask if you’re free next Wednesday, as we would like to invite you to cosplay as one of the cafe’s waitresses with us.]
Fu Siya, already fuming from Lu Sheng’s provocation, nearly smashed her phone upon seeing Lu Qianrou’s message.
What the hell, does this Lu Qianrou have something wrong with her brain?
What’s with their little school celebration that they would invite an adult like her? Do they think she’s as childish as they are??
Moreover, who is she by status and standing, the CEO of the Fu Group, running off to cosplay a cafe waitress in a high school??
One wouldn’t come up with such an idea unless their brain had a few screws loose!
As Fu Siya was cursing in her heart, just about to reject the offer, she saw Lu Qianrou had sent several more messages.
[It’s mainly because, this time at the garden party, every team in our school needs to compete for popularity.]
[My illegitimate sister Lu Sheng has invited my Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and two guys from our class. They plan to set up a handsome guy’s cafe, and that’s what inspired my idea.]
[Siya, I really don’t want to lose to that Lu Sheng. I’ve been ostracized to the point of having no place at home, and I don’t want to be stepped on by her at school too.]
[You’re so beautiful and so popular in Jiang City, if you could come, you would definitely help us attract a lot of popularity. I hope you can help us out.]
...Lu Sheng?
Fu Siya suddenly took a sharp breath.
The next second, without any hesitation, she frantically typed on her phone screen and replied with an [Okay].
She was thinking about how she could regain the face she lost today, and this was just heaven-sent.
If she went to Shengjing, it would be weird if all the boys in the school weren’t attracted to her. What could Lu Sheng’s team possibly use to compete with her for popularity? She’s not even in the same league!!

Meanwhile, at the Lu Family.
Lu Sheng was struggling with a pile of shopping bags, trying to open the large door of the Lu house.
Oddly enough, once the door was open, the living room was pitch dark, as if there was no one home.
Just as Lu Sheng was about to put down the shopping bags to look for the light switch, she suddenly heard a bang of a small party popper, almost scaring her.
Right after that, all the lights in the living room came on at once.
"Welcome home——"
It was Lu Ziye’s voice, as alluring and pleasant as ever.
Lu Sheng looked up and saw Lu Ziye, with his eyebrows lifted in a smile, standing right in front of her.
His top idol face was still breathtakingly handsome, with a hint of playful insouciance in his beautiful peach blossom eyes, yet his lips curled with a doting smile.
Standing behind Lu Ziye were the tall and solid Lu Jingyan, and the cold yet inexplicably tender Lu Siyan.
The next second, a cone-shaped party hat used for birthdays was placed on Lu Sheng’s head.
Lu Youye, next to her, while helping Lu Sheng put on the hat, couldn’t help but grumble, "Why are you coming home so late? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Sheng looked again, and not far away, Lu Youming was wearing a pink party hat identical to hers, looking over emotionlessly.
And behind Lu Youming, the dining table was filled with a variety of dishes and an exceedingly exquisite six-tiered cake from afar.
At this time, Lu Ziye, like a prince from a fairy tale, bowed gracefully to take Lu Sheng’s hand, planting a light kiss on the back of her hand.
"Look, all five brothers are finally together; this is a belated welcome party that’s several days late."
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, seeing all five of her strikingly different yet handsome brothers, each looking at her with intense focus.
Lu Ziye’s smile deepened at the corners of his lips: "Welcome home, our little sister."
