Chapter 282 I'm blocking your birthday celebration
Everyone in the room was startled by the commotion.
Lu Yangyang looked down and saw Cheng Shujin lying at her feet.
Lu Yangyang looked at where she was standing and moved aside, saying, "Sorry, I'm blocking your birthday wishes."
As soon as Lu Yangyang said this, someone next to her laughed, "Oh my, the old lady is so lucky. Look how filial this second daughter is. She comes up and gives the old lady such a big bow."
Grandma Cheng said with a smile, "You child, how can you be so honest? Get up quickly."
Cheng Shujin's face turned green.
But she wasn't completely stupid. If she had made a scene and said that Cheng Ruoxue had tripped her, her mother would have turned around and whipped her with a feather duster.
She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and got up, bowing her head as she said, "Ajin wishes Grandmother a long and healthy life, as long as the Southern Mountain."
Grandma Cheng laughed: "Good, good, thank you, Ah Jin. Ah Jin, this is your Aunt Lan's daughter, Yangyang. You are about the same age. This is her first time visiting, so please treat her well."
Cheng Shujin wanted nothing more than to tear Lu Yangyang apart, but in front of her grandmother, she could only grit her teeth in frustration: "Yes, Grandmother, I will definitely 'treat' her well."
Old Madam Cheng spoke with a smile to Cheng Shujin, Madam Song, and the others, but she didn't mention or even glance at Cheng Ruoxue.
Even though Madam Song brought Cheng Ruoxue and Cheng Shujin with her, Old Madam Cheng acted as if she didn't see them and didn't say a word to her.
Lu Yangyang's gaze fell on Cheng Ruoxue, and she felt a little strange.
Because Cheng Ruoxue is such a likable person, even people who don't like her can't feel any ill will when they look at her face.
Cheng Ruoxue probably sensed Lu Yangyang's gaze and gave her a friendly smile.
She has naturally smiling lips, and her smile is always just right.
Lu Yangyang thought for a moment, then walked over to Cheng Ruoxue and whispered, "Sister Cheng, would you like to go for a walk?"
She really didn't want to stay in the flower hall any longer. It would be very awkward if she started arguing with Cheng Shujin again later. It would be better to go out and find a place to stay for a while and go back early.
Cheng Ruoxue smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Then, after speaking to Madam Song, he invited Lu Yangyang to go out together.
Cheng Shujin was so angry when she saw the two of them leave together that she wanted to curse, but she barely managed to hold back and then hurriedly followed them.
They hadn't gone far from the flower hall when Cheng Shujin caught up with them and yelled at Cheng Ruoxue, "What are you up to? Just you wait, once the guests leave, I'll tell Grandmother that you tripped me on purpose!"
After scolding Cheng Ruoxue, she glared at Lu Yangyang: "Who let you come to my house? Don't you know I hate you?"
Lu Yangyang was baffled: "What does it have to do with me if you hate me?"
"You!" Cheng Shujin was furious. Pointing outside, she shouted, "Then get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
"Shut up!" Cheng Ruoxue snapped softly, looking at Cheng Ruoxue with cold eyes. "Look at what day it is today. If you keep throwing a tantrum like this, get back to your room!"
"You, what right do you have to curse me! Look carefully, this is my home. Can't I just tell her to get out if I hate her?" Cheng Shujin was practically going crazy, wishing she could pounce on Cheng Ruoxue and scratch her face.
They are clearly sisters, so why is Cheng Ruoxue prettier than her and is fawned over by a group of men every day, while she is ridiculed and bullied by Cheng Ruoxue? Outsiders think Cheng Ruoxue is some kind of weak and helpless fairy, but in reality, she has never won a fight against Cheng Ruoxue over the years!
There should be a limit to God's unfairness. We're all family sisters, and I've never seen anything so unfair. I can't compare to her in looks, I can't beat her in a fight, and I can't out-argue her.
Rather than saying that Cheng Shujin disliked Lu Yangyang, it would be more accurate to say that the person she disliked the most was Cheng Ruoxue. However, disliking Cheng Ruoxue was useless, as she was always easily suppressed. Therefore, she amplified this dislike infinitely and projected it onto Lu Yangyang, whom she felt disliked just as much as Cheng Ruoxue!
Cheng Ruoxue was too lazy to watch her go crazy, so she directly called out, "Someone, take the Second Miss back to her courtyard. Without my orders, don't let her out today."
"Cheng Ruoxue, you little slut, how dare you—" Cheng Shujin was furious and started spewing nonsense.
Before he could finish speaking, two maids quickly covered his mouth and pulled him away.
After everyone left, Cheng Ruoxue turned to Lu Yangyang and winked, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, little sister. I've been saying I'd invite you over to play, but there's never been a suitable opportunity. You'll have to stay and play a little longer today."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Cheng. But Sister Cheng is busy today, so I won't trouble you. I'll invite you for tea another day. Could you please help me find a quiet place to wait for Jiaojiao to come over?" Lu Yangyang didn't have any ill feelings towards Cheng Ruoxue, but thinking about how she had seen Cheng Ruoxue with Sheng Junyi last time, she realized that the two of them were probably scheming and cunning. She and Sheng Junyi were incompatible, so she decided not to get involved.
Cheng Ruoxue was very clever and immediately understood Lu Yangyang's meaning. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll definitely come to you for tea another day. There's a winding pavilion in the garden next door with a pond full of lotus flowers that are in full bloom. The girls are all playing there. Sister, go sit for a while first. When Jiaojiao arrives, I'll ask her to come find you."
Lu Yangyang thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much, Sister Cheng."
Cheng Ruoxue then escorted Lu Yangyang to a small pavilion in Qushui Pavilion, ordered a maid to serve tea and snacks, and then turned and left.
Lu Yangyang sat in the pavilion and glanced around. The small pavilion was on the lake and had a connecting corridor that ran across the lake. Another connecting corridor was along the lakeside and had a row of rooms for resting.
A gentle breeze ripples across the lake in summer, carrying the fragrance of lotus blossoms—it's quite pleasant.
Even the tea snacks were shaped like lotus flowers, which was very exquisite.
Lu Yangyang picked up a lotus-shaped pastry and was about to put it in her mouth when she saw Zheng Hui leading two girls toward her.
Lu Yangyang took a bite of the lotus-shaped pastry with a blank expression, without even lifting her eyelids.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Zheng Hui snorted angrily and couldn't help but say sourly, "Some people are just not destined for that. A perfectly good young lady like her has to suffer in the common world and come back not to be welcomed. If it were me, I wouldn't even have the face to come back!"
Her friend next to her giggled, "That's right, what's the use of having a good background if you don't have the right fate?"
Hearing the agreement, Zheng Hui became even more smug. She glanced at Lu Yangyang and raised her voice: "So you should have some self-awareness and stop dreaming of marrying someone you can't have. Don't even think about getting married now that you're disfigured. Do you even look in the mirror and see if you're good enough for him?"
"Don't you think so, Lu Yangyang?"
Lu Yangyang felt like there were several flies buzzing around her ears. She looked up and saw that Zheng Hui was still there. She sized her up and said, "You said you looked in the mirror! Did you look in the mirror before you went out? I don't think so. Otherwise, how could there be a fly on your mouth? It's so big, how could you not see it?"
"What did you say?" Zheng Hui's eyes widened, and she even reached out to touch it in a panic. Realizing that Lu Yangyang was teasing her, she was so angry that she wanted to slap Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang grabbed his wrist.
"Looks like you've only gotten older but never learned your lesson." Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes. "Since you love looking in the mirror so much, go downstairs and take a good look at yourself! And while you're at it, wash your stinky mouth that's swallowed flies, you're stinking me!"
Then, grabbing Zheng Hui by the collar, he threw her into the lake.
