Morning Star

Xu Lian: "You..."

"It turns out that a dog really can't spit out ivory. Today I finally understand." Chujiu didn't want to listen to her barking, so he interrupted her directly.

Xu Lian was so angry that she pointed at Chujiu with shaking hands: "You are..."

"Oh, isn't this the Xu family's dog... um, Miss Xu Lian?" Xu Lian had just said a few words when she was interrupted by Chu Furong who came over with a smile.

Xu Lian was already furious when her words were interrupted again. When she heard the word that Chu Furong said accidentally, she immediately lost her mind and yelled at Chu Jiu and Chu Furong: "You are dogs!"

This shout drew everyone's attention, but everyone just wanted to watch the fun.

Who wouldn't watch the free fun? It won't endanger you anyway.

Only one of the Xu family men who looked to be about 20 years old walked over here. It was the second young master of the Xu family, Xu Yan.

Xu Yan came over, frowned slightly, and asked Xu Lian: "What's going on?"

As soon as he turned around, the fourth sister beside him disappeared. After looking around, he heard a loud curse, and it was the voice of the fourth sister.

Seeing Xu Yan coming over, Xu Lian came to him and said aggrievedly: "Second brother."

Chu Furong looked at Xu Yan, still maintaining the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family: "It was my younger sister who was ignorant and offended Fourth Miss Xu Lian."

Then he looked at Xu Lian, who was tugging at her second brother's sleeve with a look of grievance on her face, and smiled slightly: "My sister is young and ignorant, I'm sure Fourth Miss Xu Lian won't care about it."

Xu Lian is already seventeen this year, and Chujiu is only a few months away from turning sixteen, so he is naturally younger than Xu Lian. Everyone knows this.

Chu Furong's words couldn't be more obvious. If Xu Lian really wanted to make a fuss about it, it would be her fault.

It's a timeless way of playing moral kidnapping.

Chujiu gave Chu Furong a thumbs up in his heart.

Wow, this is a good example of moral blackmail.

It turns out that she didn't dislike moral kidnapping, but she didn't like the people being kidnapped by morality.

After Chu Furong finished speaking, she secretly gave Chu Jiu a look. Chu Jiu understood.

She is very good at pretending to be a child.

So she took advantage of the situation and moved closer to Mo Xinglan, pouting and looking dissatisfied.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the child is just sulking because he is not satisfied with the adults' preaching.

Anyway, this is the picture that Xu Yan sees.

Thinking of Xu Lian's loud scolding just now, he frowned slightly and looked at Xu Lian with anger: "A Lian, why don't you apologize to Miss Chujiu and Miss Furong."

Xu Lian: “???”

She couldn't believe it and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

They were the ones who called her a dog first, so why was she the one apologizing? Why? And wasn't he here to help her?

"Hmph, I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't bother with her." Chujiu acted like a child imitating an adult's speech.

Gao Yashan was amazed when he saw this. He couldn't understand the plot. It changed too fast and he couldn't wrap his mind around it.

Chu Furong could hardly hold back the smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching.

Only Mo Xinglan looked down expressionlessly at Chujiu who had grabbed his sleeve at some point.

It seems that talking a lot is good. Now, she is right.

If Xu Yan still couldn't see it, he would be a fool, but he saw it all but didn't say it. As a brother, he knew what kind of personality his second sister had.

He bowed slightly and said, "Then I would like to thank Miss Third for her understanding on behalf of my sister."

"Why thank you? I did nothing wrong." Xu Lian stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

She pointed at Chujiu angrily and said, "She was the one who scolded me first. Why is it my fault?"

She just couldn't understand why someone like Chujiu, who was disliked by everyone, would be protected by someone, and even her own brother thought it was her fault.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He glared at Chujiu with eyes as if he wanted to eat her.

Chujiu shrank his neck and quickly hid behind Mo Xinglan. He pulled his sleeves with his two little hands, revealing his little head, and stared at Xu Lian innocently.

People who didn't know about this scene really thought Xu Lian scared Chujiu. Some people also speculated that Chujiu might have changed her personality. After all, she used to be a bully.

But even bullies would be scared, so how scary must the fourth young lady of the Xu family be?

Everyone who saw this had their own thoughts, but no one thought that the former bully would actually pretend to be timid and pitiful.

"Alian." Xu Yan glanced at Xu Lian warningly.

"I... humph!" Xu Lian reluctantly put down her hand that was pointing at Chujiu.

Xu Yan bowed to Chu Furong apologetically and said, "It was my sister who was rude. I will apologize to Miss Furong and your sister on her behalf."

He also knew the rumors about Chujiu. Although he was not afraid, it would be troublesome if he got entangled with her. And how could Miss Furong curse people? It must be that the fourth sister was being unreasonable and insisted that Miss Furong cursed people. After all, he had encountered such things before.

Chu Furong smiled kindly: "Master Xu, you are too kind."

Looking at Chu Furong, a well-educated and well-mannered young lady from aristocratic family, Chu Jiu's mouth twitched unconsciously.

So this is how my second sister acts outside.

Gentle and kind, well-educated and well-mannered, plus her appearance as her name suggests, she is definitely a girl next door. Even though she knew Chu Furong's true personality, her heart still beat fast when she saw her.

Not only Gao Yashan who was beside her, but also people further away could not take their eyes away.

"Speaking of which, my second sister is really beautiful. She must be the white moonlight of many young men." Chujiu couldn't help muttering to himself.

Mo Xinglan had been looking at her, taking in the expression on her face. After hearing what she said, he looked up at Chu Furong, feeling a little annoyed.

He had clearly said that he was good-looking before, but now he was staring at Chu Furong with his eyes shining. This nymphomaniac, a liar.

He raised his hand and slapped away the two hands that were pulling at his sleeves, and pulled her out from behind by the back of her clothes. He snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Chujiu: “???”

Hmm? What happened?

Chu Furong caught a glimpse of Mo Xinglan's actions, and then thought of what Chu Jiu had just said. She looked up at the people around her, and sure enough, she saw a lot of men staring at her. Her cheeks immediately flushed, and she raised her hand to her lips and coughed lightly.

Xu Yan, who was stunned by the scene, came back to his senses and blushed all the way to his ears. He quickly bowed his head and apologized: "Sorry, I was rude."

Chu Furong just smiled and said nothing.

Xu Lian had also noticed that many men were staring at Chu Furong, and she felt angry and unwilling.

What's so good about Chu Furong? Why are they all staring at her? She is also a lady born in a noble family, and she can enter the Misty Realm with her strength. Her appearance is not worse than Chu Furong. How can she be inferior to Chu Furong?

As expected, all the women in the Chu family are equally annoying.

Chujiu glanced at Xu Lian and saw through what was in her mind. No, it was not that she saw through it, but Xu Lian was almost writing the words "I am very jealous of Chu Furong" on her face, and anyone could see it.
