Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: So Annoying! But I Can’t Hit His Mom!
 

“If you want to go, go yourself—I’m not going!”

“Miss He is so beautiful, what could you possibly be dissatisfied with? She’s top of her class too, and well-matched with us. You couldn’t find better even with a lantern.”

“It’s not like I’m asking you to marry her right away; if things go well, you could get engaged first, and marry after you both graduate from university.”

“Marry a ball.”

Qin Huan slapped the back of Lu Shiran’s head, exasperated to death by his disobedient son, “What nonsense are you spouting? ”

Lu Shiran was so angry his eyes almost turned red, “Didn’t we agree that I didn’t want to invite anyone else this time for my birthday? How can you just ignore my wishes!”

Qin Huan argued righteously, “How have I ignored your wishes? Didn’t you want a BBQ? I specially reserved an area for you; you can play by yourselves when the time comes.”

Lu Shiran was choked by this maneuver, but since the guests had arrived, what could he do? He couldn’t just send them away. At worst, he just wouldn’t hang out with them.

Reluctantly, Lu Shiran was pulled by Qin Huan to greet the guests at the door, only then realizing his mom had invited quite a number of people over.

So annoying! And he couldn’t hit his mom either!

“Jianyan is here.”

He Jianyan was strikingly beautiful, with fair skin and long hair that reached her waist, carrying an aura of cool aloofness and nobility.

Her face bore a somewhat disinterested smile, but she was polite to Qin Huan, “Aunt Qin, sorry to disturb you today.”

“Not at all,” Qin Huan gave Lu Shiran meaningful looks.

Lu Shiran pretended not to notice and deliberately asked, “Mom, is your eyelid twitching?”

Qin Huan smiled awkwardly, “You young people have a good chat. I’ll go greet the other guests.”

Lu Shiran: “…”

Chat about what?

Lu Shiran glared at He Jianyan, wishing he could just slip away unnoticed.

It seemed He Jianyan had read his mind, giving him a once-over, she disdainfully said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you.”

Lu Shiran glared back at her, smugly retorting, “Good, because I’m not interested in you either.”

He Jianyan’s expression darkened immediately. In Hai City, she had been pursued by many, yet she hit a wall with Lu Shiran.

Although she looked down on Lu Shiran and despised Qin Huan’s sycophantic behavior toward the He Family, being disregarded like this was quite irritating.

She felt like she was being treated like some sort of monster.

If it weren’t for the collaboration between the Lu and He families, she wouldn’t have bothered to show the Lu family any respect at all.

The colder she was treated, the more it ignited her competitive spirit.

But before she could say much, she saw Lu Shiran’s eyes light up, and like a happy dog, he wagged his tail and ran up front.

He Jianyan: ?

“Qiaoqiao.”

Lu Shiran’s unhappiness vanished upon seeing Qiao Yun, seeing her eyes scanning the steady stream of guests at the door.

He said weakly, “Sorry, my mom invited these people without my consent…”

Qiao Yun frowned slightly and sighed, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault.”

Lu Shiran quickly assured, “Don’t worry, we have our own area; they won’t be mingling with us.”

“Good, we won’t play together.” Qiao Yun then introduced Li Miao and Xia Ling to Lu Shiran.

It was Xia Ling’s first time visiting a grand house, and she was very shy, murmuring a greeting to Lu Shiran before going silent.

Lu Shiran said, “Don’t be shy, make yourself at home.”

Because Lu Shiran was so down-to-earth, Xia Ling relaxed a little.

Li Miao squinted at Lu Shiran, wondering why he wasn’t whining today.

While things were friendly on one side, He Jianyan’s expression turned even more frosty.

The blatant differential treatment was too much to bear.
