Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Chrysanthemum Vents Just for Fun
Speaking of which, Shengjing’s campus forum has always had a monthly update of the school beauty and school hunk votes.
Lu Youming and Lu Youye have always ranked first and second. The school girls always thought that these twin brothers each had their unique charm, but they have been labeled as the aloof school god and the dumb handsome guy.
Who wants to be called a dumb handsome guy!
Lu Youye was always dissatisfied with this.
He once used an alternate account to log in to the forum to vehemently criticize this nickname and strongly demanded the administrator to delete the post, but because he forgot to switch accounts when replying to someone else, he was exposed, and the nickname dumb handsome guy became even more established.
Sometimes, being exposed can be so plain and simple.
Apart from Lu Youye, other Lu Family members also hurried to see Lu Sheng.
Only Lu Siyan took a deep breath and stood there to ask Li Muchen: "What is Shengsheng’s temperature now?"
"An hour ago, she took antipyretic medicine, and just ten minutes ago we measured her temperature, it has dropped to 39.5 degrees."
"The fever can come down with medication, it shouldn’t be a big problem, infusion would work better," Lu Siyan said with a cool expression, but his eyes could not hide his concern, "It’s just that Shengsheng having such a high fever, it must be very uncomfortable."
"...I know," Li Muchen took a deep breath, "What worries me more is that she has been in a state of unconscious sleep. I don’t know whether it’s caused by the fever, or if there is some other reason."
"It’s already so late, and Shengsheng is having an infusion, it’s not feasible to go to the hospital for any deep examination. We can only let her sleep with the infusion overnight and see what happens in the morning."
"Okay," Li Muchen nodded.
With the Lu Family members coming over so late, and Lu Sheng having a fever and receiving an infusion here, they definitely wouldn’t feel at ease to go home, so Li Muchen went out to have the butler arrange guest rooms.
Li Muchen’s bedroom was originally very large and empty, and he was rarely at home, usually there was hardly any presence. Coupled with the monochrome and indifferent color scheme, it appeared even more cold and desolate.
However, when Li Muchen finished giving instructions and returned to the bedroom, he saw a young girl deeply asleep on his bed at this moment, and her five brothers almost surrounding the bed in a circle.
Lu Siyan, wearing a white shirt, stood by the rack, looking up to check the IV bottles, while Lu Jingyan, in a suit, asked him about the medication and its efficacy.
Lu Ziye sat beside the bed, right next to Lu Sheng’s head. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of seriousness and tenderness, as he gently used a towel to wipe the fine sweat on the girl’s forehead.
And the pair of twins who looked exactly alike but had completely different temperaments, one looked tense, clutching the girl’s hand tightly at his side, and muttering something.
The other stood by with a calm face, his gaze toward the girl, never moving away from her since the beginning.
After Li Muchen entered the bedroom, the servant who had just served tea and the one waiting outside for instructions exchanged glances, they couldn’t help but whisper outside the door.
"It’s really annoying, in the middle of the night, why do so many people come to our Li Family’s house?"
"We can’t even sleep properly, still have to serve tea, clean rooms, and take care of them, really idle."
This Aunt Wang, who has been working for the Li Family for many years, is mainly responsible for cleaning the first floor.
She muttered softly, peeking through the crack of the door into the bedroom while rolling her eyes.
Next to her, the nearly sixty-year-old Aunt Li, hearing her words, immediately echoed, her tone sounding a bit mocking.
"Exactly, rich people don’t have to work early and return late like us, they just idle around!"
"And besides, it’s just that young girl called Lu Sheng having a bit of fever, our young master has already called doctors to give her IV at home, is it necessary for their whole family to come running over in the middle of the night?"
"Look at them, all anxious... back in our days, even giving birth didn’t involve this much fuss, really making a mountain out of a molehill."
As she spoke, Aunt Li seemed to remember something, "Speaking of which, that young girl called Lu Sheng is not just a little spoiled."
"Did you see the few times she came to our house before? She didn’t even want to walk a single step, clinging to our young master like a koala. Being held for meals, soothed to sleep in arms, almost needed to be held even to go to the toilet."
"I really can’t stand to watch this... This only happens because urbanites are so open-minded. If this were in our village, a girl behaving so indecently every day, it would be strange if she weren’t gossiped about to death behind her back."
"Exactly, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you," Aunt Wang leaned in immediately upon hearing this.
"You see, I heard from a sister who works for another wealthy family, this Lu Sheng is not a legitimate daughter of a rich family at all."
"She is an illegitimate daughter, born in secret to a woman her father found outside, and she grew up in the countryside. Only a few months ago was she brought to Jiang City."
"In other words, this girl is a wild child, and her mother is a mistress who seduced someone else’s husband."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li widened her eyes: "Really? Such a thing?"
"I’m telling you, this young girl isn’t that old, but she managed to bewitch our young master. Turns out like mother, like daughter. No wonder she’s so good at seducing men at such a young age."
"I just don’t understand, our young master had a disability before, and that’s that. Now that he’s recovered, which legitimate daughter of wealthy families in the whole Jiang City doesn’t want to marry him?"
"Why does the young master fancy such a lowly, wild child? And to be honest, she’s not even as good-looking as my daughter..." Aunt Li disdainfully clicked her tongue, "Really, she’s just not a match at all."
Aunt Li felt quite good about herself here, and Aunt Wang also joined in, complimenting on the side.
"Exactly, I also think your Lingling is much prettier than her."
"But it’s all fate, that wild child may have a cheap mom, but at least she has a rich dad."
"If your Lingling had a rich dad, she’d have long married into a wealthy family as a lady..."
Aunt Wang hadn’t even finished speaking when she suddenly felt someone yank her hard from behind, almost pulling her down.
Before she could react, an elegantly dressed woman appeared in front of her and raised her hand to give her a harsh slap across the face.
Slap—
The sound, oh so crisp.
"Who did you call a cheap woman and a bastard? You ill-mannered gossip!"
Jiang Ting’s expression was utterly cold and heartless.
After slapping her, she looked down at Aunt Wang, displaying the air of a noble lady.
The slap had stupefied Aunt Wang. Her face burned, and it took her a while to regain her senses. Aunt Li was also shocked, her eyes wide in disbelief.
She rushed to support Aunt Wang, looked at Jiang Ting, and screamed, "What are you doing! Just because you’re rich, does it mean you can hit people as you like?!"
"Hit people as I like, but not you, right?"
Jiang Ting scoffed, raising her hand again and delivering a slap to Aunt Li.
"Just having some fun blowing off steam, but real trouble needs watching your mouths. I’ve decided to hit you today, what now?"
Aunt Li, who never expected someone to strike first and be so arrogant, covered her swelling face, both ashamed and angry.
Such noise outside, everyone in the bedroom heard it.
Li Muchen and Lu Family hearing the commotion didn’t know what had happened and immediately came out from the room.
As soon as Li Muchen appeared, before Jiang Ting could speak, Aunt Li threw herself to the ground crying her eyes out—
"Young master! Mrs. Wang and I were just talking, and this lady came over and slapped each of us! Young master, you must stand up for Mrs. Wang and me!"
