After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Going to be charmed to death by four handsome guys

Lu Sheng could tell that Fu Siya was on the verge of furiously lashing out at Meng Lin, so she deliberately opened her mouth to taunt her.

But her seemingly offhand remark packed a more lethal punch than all the things Meng Lin had just said put together.

— Menopause coming early??

Fu Siya almost spat blood from anger.

She was only twenty-three this year, yet Lu Sheng dared to suggest her menopause was coming early?!

Fu Siya was most sensitive about her age and beauty.

She felt that being young, beautiful, and competent gave her a sense of superiority, even in front of Meng Lin.

Yes, Meng Lin had accomplished more in her career, but she was already in her thirties, nearly ten years older than her.

No matter how capable, wasn’t Meng Lin just an old woman? What was there to boast about?

Now, as soon as she heard Lu Sheng mentioning menopause, Fu Siya was so angry she could kill.

The onlookers were just there for the spectacle.

Originally, Fu Siya had the upper hand, and everyone watched Lu Sheng with disdain.

But after Meng Lin showed up and let loose, along with Lu Sheng’s final comment, it was game over.

Fu Siya was completely suppressed, losing face completely both inside and out.

Moreover, if she threw a tantrum now in front of everyone, it would just make her seem exactly like the premature menopause Lu Sheng mentioned, lacking the grace and poise befitting a lady of a prestigious family.

"Siya sister!"

Seeing this, Lu Qianrou immediately grabbed Fu Siya’s hand, "Siya sister, don’t be angry, my sister is uneducated and speaks like this, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Lu Qianrou thought she had found an opportunity to overshadow Lu Sheng, but she didn’t expect such a turnaround.

Fearing that Fu Siya would leave in a huff, she hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, even presumptuously apologizing for Lu Sheng.

When Fu Siya had defended her just before, she stood by without a word, playing the role of the pitiful victim bullied by her illegitimate sister impeccably.

Now that the situation had changed, and everyone seemed to think that Fu Siya was petty and narrow-minded, she quickly sided with Lu Sheng and began apologizing for her.

But although she was apologizing on the surface, she was covertly stomping on Lu Sheng’s lack of education. Ridiculous.

Lu Sheng was the one who almost scored full marks in all subjects except Chinese in Shengjing’s school entrance exams, saying she overshadowed Lu Qianrou was an understatement.

It was only because the others didn’t know the truth that they thought she was generous and understood the big picture.

Lu Sheng had no patience to keep watching Lu Qianrou’s drama.

Fortunately, the school gates finally opened, and as people began heading towards the gate, she and Meng Lin, along with Juanjuan, left.

After getting away from the crowd, Lu Sheng thanked Meng Lin. Meng Lin had to meet with the leaders of Shengjing, so she said she’d visit their shop after finishing her business.

[Inside the school]

Shengjing was wealthy, and the school’s campus was massive.

Thanks to the efforts of all the teams in the past week, the campus now resembled a massive combination of a temple fair, marketplace, amusement park, and food street.

Whether on the sports fields or by the roadside, in front of teaching buildings or classrooms, various stalls and shops were everywhere, with many people already gathered around certain ones.

The entire campus was hung with colourful ribbons everywhere, exuding a joyous atmosphere. Students, dressed up in all sorts of costumes, were drawing in customers, some even using exaggerated loudspeakers.

The lively scene wasn’t annoying but instead conveyed the youthful vitality of the students and the beauty of campus life.

Lu Sheng and Juanjuan walked for a long time, twisting and turning before they finally reached their shop.

The choice of team locations at that time followed a first-come, first-served principle, where teams who were ready first got to pick spots and start setting up.

Because Lu Sheng’s team had their idea stolen, they were supposed to select a location last Friday but ended up having to wait until this Monday.

As a result, by the time they were looking for a spot for their shop, all the good locations were taken.

All that was left for them was the old physical testing room in the northwest corner of the playground, which could only be seen after passing by the new testing room and had been abandoned a long time ago.

This place could arguably be considered the most remote and least noticeable spot in all of Shengjing.

Ordinary people wouldn’t even notice it when they come to the playground, and would never find it without someone leading the way.

But there are two advantages of choosing this location.

One is that the abandoned testing room is spacious, allowing Lu Sheng and the others to transform it directly into a dessert house, saving the cost of purchasing panels and constructing sets.

The second is that the stalls and shops in the more visible parts of the school were all crowded together, while Lu Sheng’s area was very desolate with not a single other stall nearby.

It could also be considered quiet and leisurely.

When Lu Sheng and Juanjuan entered the shop, everything was already put in place, and the four young men had just changed into their clothes.

Lan Yu couldn’t help but howl as soon as she saw them: "Wuuuu! Shengsheng, darling, come and look!"

"I never thought that men could look so good in pink; I’m dying, I’m really going to die from their handsomeness!"

Lu Sheng glanced up and saw four attractive young men with distinct styles standing in front of her.

Lan Yu’s reaction was not exaggerated at all.

The four teenagers in front of her really were very handsome.

Their overall style of clothing matched perfectly with the store’s decor, filled with HelloKitty elements and soft, sweet, and cute adornments.

Han Jing was tall and slim, with red hair, wearing a shirt with a pink suit jacket.

Aside from the HelloKitty pattern embroidered on his tie, he also deliberately wore a HelloKitty plush headband, appearing approachable and also lively and cute.

Hou Yu’s uniform still tilted toward the preppy look, with a shirt, vest, and necktie, and a suit jacket with three HelloKitty-shaped buttons fastened neatly.

He was slim and his expression was calm. But on closer inspection, there was a hint of awkwardness, which made Lu Sheng almost pause her breathing when she took a closer look.

Next to him stood Lu Youye.

A sharply tailored and design-oriented casual pink suit, with a HelloKitty metal lock buckle and silver chain around his waist.

Two buttons of his shirt were undone at the collar, and his loosely tied necktie hung on his chest. With a stride of his long legs, he emanated a cool and brash yet casual and unconstrained aura.

Next to him was Lu Youming, who looked exactly the same as Lu Youye.

Today, he combed his hair up into a slick back, wearing a double-breasted delicate white suit jacket, with a HelloKitty doll pinned on his chest, the very image of a cold and arrogant noble young master from a wealthy family.

"Indeed handsome," Lu Sheng nodded, holding her chin thoughtfully, and said seriously, "If they stand outside, even if our cookies and tarts are ugly and taste bad, people will still rush to buy them, which instantly reduces a lot of pressure."

Lan Yu almost laughed out loud when she heard this, then said with a serious face: "Darling, can’t you have some confidence in our culinary skills? Our creations could never taste bad, at worst they would just be edible."

"And besides, even if the cookies we clumsy ones make look bad, Juanjuan’s are super pretty because she’s skilled with her hands, right, Juanjuan?"

"Yep! Juanjuan will do her best!"

Juanjuan immediately nodded, looking as pretty as a doll, with a serious demeanor as if she had been assigned an important task, looking extremely cute.

The beverages sent by Meng Lin arrived, and the boys went out to put them away, while the three girls went inside to bake the first batch of cookies, tarts, and then changed their clothes.

The boys’ suits were a collaboration design between Mrs. Qiangwei and HelloKitty, while the outfits worn by Lu Sheng were a collaboration between Mrs. Qiangwei and Sanrio’s other characters - featuring a series with Melody elements and overalls.

When Lu Sheng came out wearing a casual bun, dressed in pink bunny overalls with a white apron, Lu Youye let out a roar and rushed over to lift her up high.

Wuuu, indeed! Nothing in this world is cuter than a little sister, unless it’s a sister dressed in soft and tender pink!

It was already ten-thirty by then.

Not a single customer had entered Lu Sheng’s store, or, to put it differently, outside was so quiet that not a single figure could be seen.

In sharp contrast to the "desolation" on their side was the Doraemon café that Lu Qianrou and the others had opened in the most conspicuous spot in the plaza.

It was simply bursting with popularity, with customers flocking to the café so much that they almost crowded the place to capacity.
