The villainous young lady is actually a scientific research genius!

Lu Zhaozhao stood at the entrance of the mall, listening to Aunt Wang and Lu An'an taking turns to define her.

A poor child from the countryside.

I suffered a lot.

Not used to life in Beijing.

Every word she said was a label she was being put on.

Gu Wan and Aunt Wang were still chatting.

"Your An'an is so thoughtful, caring so much about her older sister."

"No, no, An'an is just soft-hearted and can't stand seeing others suffer."

Lu An'an lowered her head, her voice as soft as cotton candy: "My sister is the one who has worked the hardest. I just did what I was supposed to do."

Aunt Wang looked at Lu Zhaozhao with increasing sympathy: "Girl, you should learn the rules of Beijing from your mother in the future, so that your family won't have to worry about you."

Lu Zhaozhao raised her head.

She looked at Aunt Wang.

"rule?"

Aunt Wang was taken aback.

Lu Zhaozhao continued, "Is Aunt Wang trying to say that my current attire is not respectable enough, and that I am not worthy of being a daughter of the Lu family?"

Aunt Wang's smile froze on her face.

Gu Wan was also stunned.

Lu An'an bit her lip, her eyes immediately reddening: "Sister, Aunt Wang didn't mean that..."

Lu Zhaozhao turned to look at her.

"That's not what I meant?"

"What does that mean?"

Lu An'an's tears fell: "Sister, I know you're upset, but... but you can't do this..."

"What do you mean, 'like this'?" Lu Zhaozhao interrupted her. "Tell the truth?"

Her gaze swept over the three of them.

"From the moment we entered the mall, all the clothes you picked out for me were the cheapest styles in the store."

"White shirt, 3.8 yuan, the lowest price in the store."

"Canvas shoes, 3.2 yuan, on sale."

"Including the others, there are twelve pieces in total, which probably doesn't even amount to a fraction of the price of the clothes you're wearing."

Lu An'an's face turned deathly pale.

Gu Wan looked at Lu Zhaozhao in shock: "Zhaozhao, how could you say that about An'an..."

"Did I misspoke?" Lu Zhaozhao's voice was calm. "Or do you think I can't count?"

Aunt Wang looked a little embarrassed, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Lu An'an cried even harder: "Sister, I just wanted to help you choose something suitable for you... I didn't mean anything by it..."

"What suits me?" Lu Zhaozhao repeated, "Or what suits the 'poor older sister' character in your script?"

Lu An'an's crying stopped.

She looked at Lu Zhaozhao in disbelief.

How could this girl who came back from the countryside be so perceptive?

How could you have so thoroughly exposed her thoughts?

Lu Zhaozhao continued, "From delivering junior high school review materials last night, to taking the initiative to come to the mall together today, and then to what she said in front of Aunt Wang just now."

"Every step reinforces the concept that I come from the countryside, I'm unsophisticated, and I need your help and guidance."

"And you are a kind and sensible little sister, the true pride of the Lu family."

Lu An'an's face turned from pale to ashen.

Her tears were still clinging to her eyelashes, but at this moment, she couldn't smile.

Gu Wan opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but found herself at a loss for words.

Because everything Lu Zhaozhao said was true.

Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly, "Oh my, you two sisters are really funny... I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

She left in a hurry.

Only three people remained at the scene.

Gu Wan took a deep breath: "Zhao Zhao, I know you feel wronged, but you shouldn't say these things in front of outsiders..."

"Did I say something wrong?" Lu Zhaozhao looked at her.

"Isn't that exactly what my dear sister does?"

Gu Wan felt a little guilty under that gaze.

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes were too calm.

This made Gu Wan even more uneasy.

"I didn't say you were wrong, I just..." Gu Wan thought for a moment, "Never mind, let's go home."

She turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Lu An'an stood there, biting her lip as she looked at Lu Zhaozhao.

She suddenly realized that this girl was completely different from the stupid Lu Zhaozhao she remembered.

Why is this happening?

Could it be due to her rebirth?

Lu Zhaozhao looked at her, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Stop acting."

"I have no interest in playing along with your act."

After saying that, she turned around and followed Gu Wan.

Lu An'an stood still.

Her mind was in complete chaos.

How could this happen?

Lu Zhaozhao should be an insecure and sensitive underachiever, she should be extremely grateful for her "kindness", and she should become less and less noticeable under her suppression!

But now...

She actually exposed all her scheming!

And he said it in front of his mother!

Lu An'an took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and quickly followed.

She absolutely could not let Lu Zhaozhao continue like this.

She is the true daughter of the Lu family!

……

In the car.

Gu Wan sat in the passenger seat, without saying a word.

Lu Zhaozhao and Lu An'an sat in the back row.

Lu An'an sobbed softly, occasionally stealing a glance at Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao leaned against the car window, watching the street scenes rushing past outside.

She was thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

Lu An'an is a reborn person and knows the future.

But she didn't know that I wasn't the original owner of this body either.

She thought I would follow the script she had designed, and that I would become more insecure, sensitive, and vulnerable because of my family's neglect and her suppression.

But in fact……

The car quickly returned to the Lu family home.

The three got off the bus.

Lu An'an ran into the living room first, threw herself into Lu Zhenguo's arms, and cried uncontrollably.

"Dad... Waaah..."

Lu Zhenguo was taken aback: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Lu An'an choked up and couldn't speak, she just kept shaking her head.

Gu Wan sighed and walked into the living room.

Lu Zhaozhao followed behind.

Lu Jingyan and Lu Jingyu were sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper when they saw this scene and immediately stood up.

"What's going on?" Lu Jingyan frowned.

Lu Jingyu glanced at Lu Zhaozhao, his eyes filled with hostility: "It's definitely her again!"

Lu Zhenguo's face instantly darkened.

He looked at Lu Zhaozhao, his voice icy: "What have you done now?"

Lu Zhaozhao stood at the door, looking at the family.

Lu An'an cried with tears streaming down her face, looking as aggrieved as if the whole world owed her something.

Lu Zhenguo, Lu Jingyan, and Lu Jingyu all looked at her with accusatory eyes.

Only Gu Wan stood to the side, hesitant to speak.

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly found it a little funny.

She didn't even need to say a word.

Because Lu An'an has already put on a very convincing performance.

"Dad, I'm fine..." Lu An'an's voice trembled. "I just... I just wanted to help my sister pick out clothes... but my sister said... said I deliberately bought her cheap clothes..."

As she spoke, she started crying again.

"I really didn't mean that... I just thought those clothes suited her..."

Lu Zhenguo's face grew even uglier.

"Lu Zhaozhao!" he shouted sternly, "When are you going to stop this nonsense?"

"An'an was only trying to help you, and this is how you repay her?"

Lu Jingyan retorted angrily, "Don't you have any conscience? An'an has sacrificed even her own time for you!"

Lu Jingyu went even further: "I think you're just jealous of An'an! Jealous that she's better than you!"

Lu Zhaozhao stood there, quietly listening to their accusations one after another.

a long time.

Lu Zhaozhao spoke up.

"Are you finished talking?"

Her voice was calm.

The calmness of it all stunned everyone present.

"Now that I've finished speaking, I'm going upstairs."

After saying that, she turned and walked upstairs.

"Stop right there!" Lu Zhenguo roared.

Lu Zhaozhao paused and turned around.

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Zhenguo was so angry at her attitude that he trembled all over.

"You...is this your attitude?"

"Otherwise what?" Lu Zhaozhao retorted, "Kneel down and admit your mistake? Cry and say I didn't mean to?"

"Or are you suggesting I cooperate and continue acting out this family drama?"

Lu Jingyan rushed forward, trying to grab Lu Zhaozhao's arm: "You better explain yourself!"

Lu Zhaozhao dodged to the side.

The movements were clean and efficient.

Lu Jingyan missed his target and almost fell over.

He gripped the stair railing, staring at Lu Zhaozhao in disbelief: "You actually dared to dodge?"

Lu Zhaozhao looked at him with a cold gaze.

"Why can't I hide?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Who gives you the right to touch me?"

Lu Jingyan's face turned bright red.

Lu Zhenguo was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Only the eldest brother, Lu Jingchen, stood at the top of the stairs, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Lu Zhaozhao with a complicated expression.

This girl...

It was completely different from what he had imagined.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't say anything more, turned around and went upstairs.

Behind them came Lu An'an's sobs and Lu Zhenguo's roars.

But none of this concerns her anymore.

She pushed open the door, went inside, and closed it.

The world fell silent instantly.

Lu Zhaozhao walked to the desk and picked up the old notebook.

Turn it over.

She unscrewed the pen cap and continued writing.

The setting sun shone through the windowpane, casting a soft glow on her profile.

In her world, there is only scientific research.

As for those people downstairs?

Whether they were scheming or angry, they were not.

To her, it was all just background noise.

Insignificant.
