Chapter 412: Chapter 412: There Are Quite a Few Who Call You Husband
???
Upon hearing Lu Sheng’s words, Shi Yuwei, who was pretending to faint in Shi Muchuan’s arms, almost choked in shock.
— A few dozen needles???
Lu Sheng really intended to turn her into a human sieve!
But it was clear the girl wasn’t just bluffing.
The next second, Shi Yuwei heard the rustling sound of Lu Sheng opening her acupuncture kit near her ear, as if she was ready to stick her full of needles.
Even though Shi Yuwei knew Lu Sheng was trying to get back at her, she couldn’t do anything about it since no one dared to stop Lu Sheng, the Divine Doctor. Shi Yuwei clenched her teeth so hard she almost shattered them.
Having no alternative, she could only slowly “wake up” from her fake faint with an air of confusion, weakly murmuring, “Big Brother, what’s happening to …”
“…”
Shi Muchuan had genuinely been worried about Shi Yuwei’s condition. But now, seeing her imdiately regain consciousness as soon as Lu Sheng ntioned the needles, he couldn’t help but furrow his dashing brows.
What was this? It looked suspiciously like she had been pretending to faint all along.
Shi Yuwei’s sudden recovery made everyone else glance at each other aningfully.
Initially, Old Mr. Shi and Shi Erya were genuinely concerned that Shi Yuwei’s heart condition might have flared up again. But now, they understood—this girl must have faked fainting intentionally to escape the awkwardness of the earlier situation.
“What’s going on? I feel so dizzy… Big Brother, I feel unwell. Could you carry upstairs to rest in my room?”
The embarrassnt was unbearable. Shi Yuwei tugged at Shi Muchuan’s suit jacket, acting coy, desperately seeking an escape route.
Although they weren’t born from the sa mother, Shi Muchuan had always doted on his younger sister Shi Yuwei, as well as his two brothers Luoyu and Luochen. When Shi Yuwei had been ill before, it was always him who tirelessly sought doctors for her both dostically and abroad.
But ever since she ca off the operating table last year, he felt like his once kind and considerate sister had turned into soone else altogether. She used to be genuinely innocent, but now there seed to be a calculating glint in her eyes.
“If you’re not feeling well, then you’d better let Shengsheng give you a few needles to help,” he replied.
Shi Muchuan frowned slightly and peeled away Shi Yuwei’s hand that clung to his suit. “Shengsheng’s dical skills are sothing you can’t even buy with money, whether in this country or abroad. You should cherish this opportunity.”
“I…” Shi Yuwei swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
Why was it still about the needles?
“I don’t need her to treat ,” Shi Yuwei huffed with no recourse, then steeled herself and stood up, declaring, “I think I can manage on my own. I’ll just head upstairs by myself.”
As Shi Yuwei ascended the stairs, Shi Suxin, who had always pampered her little niece, shot a glare at Lu Sheng before following after her.
Now, the living room was left with just Lu Sheng, Shi Mingxiu, Shi Erya, and Shi Muchuan.
It was Lu Youye’s first ti visiting the Shi Family, and he imdiately walked in to find his younger sister humiliated to such a degree, her skin scalded red from spilled porridge. Anyone would find it hard not to feel furious and resentful.
So although Lu Youye had angrily berated every single Shi Family mber as soon as he entered, Old Mr. Shi and Shi Erya did not bla him.
However, Shi Erya felt puzzled. Before the journalists entered, the servant hadn’t seed to say the porridge incident had been orchestrated by Shi Yuwei. Even Lu Sheng herself admitted the servant hadn’t done it on purpose.
Why then did Lu Sheng later make such allegations right in front of the journalists?
“Grandpa, Auntie,” Lu Sheng, as if guessing what Shi Erya was thinking, explained calmly, “I said what I said to the journalists earlier because Mrs. Wang sent a private ssage on her phone, pointing out Shi Yuwei’s na. That’s how I realized Shi Yuwei had instructed her to make the ss.”
“But now that the situation has blown up like this, let’s just let it go,” Lu Sheng added. “My brothers and friends ca here to find —I’d like to bring them up to my room, if that’s all right.”
“Of course you can, Shengsheng.” Shi Mingxiu had already known that Lu Sheng had five brothers in the Lu Family, including Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, who were twins.
Though he wasn’t sure why they had suddenly co to visit the Shi Family, since they were here, they were all esteed guests of the Shi Family, along with their companions.
“Shengsheng, don’t worry—Grandpa will certainly discipline Yuwei for her behavior later,” Shi Mingxiu assured. “For now, go upstairs, change your clothes, and take so ti to chat with your brothers and friends. If there’s anything you need, just ask Grandpa.”
“Since your brothers and friends ca all the way from Jiang City to Beijing to see you, I think it’s a great chance for you all to enjoy yourselves here. Why don’t they stay with us? They can stay however long they want, and I’ll arrange rooms for them.”
Lu Sheng nodded in agreent, then led Lu Youming, Lu Youye, Lan Yu, and Han Jing upstairs to her room.
After changing her clothes in the walk-in closet, she ca out and looked at the group waiting for her. “Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and Lan Yu, Han Jing—none of you have told yet. Why did you suddenly co to the Shi Family?”
“Of course it’s because of your Fifth Brother,” Lan Yu replied cheerfully, looping her arm through Lu Sheng’s.
“Yesterday, after hearing you planned to stay at the Shi Family for a while and wouldn’t be returning ho soon, your Fifth Brother couldn’t eat or sleep. This morning, he threw a tantrum, insisting he co to Beijing to find you. He said he was worried you’d be mistreated if you were alone at the Shi Family. He even threatened to drag you out of here if they didn’t give him a place to stay.”
“Your Fifth Brother nagged your Big Brother so much that he had no choice but to call President Li, who arranged a private plane to send your Fifth Brother over. Your Big Brother was still worried about him, so he asked your Fourth Brother to tag along. Your Fourth Brother then invited Han Jing and to join them, and since we weren’t particularly busy, we decided to co too.”
“Originally, we planned to surprise you without giving you prior notice. But as the plane was about to land, Chen Li sent a live-stream link on Weibo. When we opened the stream, we saw you like that, covered with porridge.”
“We were already furious, but just before walking in, I saw Shi Yuwei arrogantly threatening the TV crew, and that nearly made explode. So the mont we stepped inside, I poured a glass of water over her without hesitation.”
“Speaking of which…” Lan Yu suddenly glanced at Han Jing as though sothing had struck her, “Do you think everyone on Weibo is scolding now? Saying I’m rude or lacking proper upbringing?”
“I don’t see anyone cursing you,” Han Jing responded while scrolling on his phone, his tone tinged with jealousy. “But I did see quite a few girls calling you their ‘husband’ and exclaiming things like ‘Our queen is so badass, so cool, and so hot!'”
