Chapter 285: Thief
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Rou didn’t snatch those toys because she liked them. She just didn’t want Lu Zhen to have anything. After she snatched those toys, she threw them all away.
One time, Lu Zhen went out to shoot an advertisement. Lu Rou came to the narrow and dark attic where Lu Zhen lived and saw the old leather suitcase under her bed. She pulled out the battered leather briefcase. It wasn’t locked. She unzipped it and saw some old clothes and a few books inside.
Lu Rou randomly poured the old clothes and books on the floor and continued to search. Finally, she found a small handkerchief in the innermost layer of the suitcase. The small handkerchief was rolled into a ball, and there seemed to be something wrapped in it.
Lu Rou opened her handkerchief and saw a blue-purple flame butterfly necklace.
At that time, Lu Rou was shocked by the beauty of the flame butterfly necklace and stared blankly for a long time. Then, a strong sense of anger and frustration surged in her heart. How was Lu Zhen worthy of such a beautiful necklace?
Lu Rou kicked the old suitcase a few times angrily and took the necklace away.
When Lu Zhen returned home, she saw her box on the ground and her old clothes and books scattered on the ground. Soon, she realized that she had lost the necklace.
Lu Zhen found Lu Rou and asked her if she had taken her necklace. She even begged Lu Rou to return it to her. At that time, Lu Zhen had been brainwashed by Lu He and thought that she was already a part of the Lu family, and Lu Rou was her sister. She should love her sister.
Therefore, in Lu Zhen’s opinion, Lu Rou’s willfulness and barbarism could be forgiven. When Lu Rou bullied her, she would only choose to endure it.
Although Lu Zhen’s tone was humble, Lu Rou was still very angry. “Your necklace? How can someone like you have such a good-looking necklace? Did you steal it from somewhere? You thief, I’m going to tell Daddy that you’re a thief and ask him to chase you out! Otherwise, you’ll have to steal from our family in the future!”
Lu Zhen did not expect Lu Rou to say that she was a thief and even complain to Lu He. She was extremely anxious and tried her best to explain. “That necklace is mine. I didn’t steal it. Rourou, can you return it to me? I beg you…”
Seeing Lu Zhen humble herself, Lu Rou felt extremely happy. However, she had no intention of returning the necklace to Lu Zhen. She hated Lu Zhen because her father valued her very much and always brought her out to film and attend training classes, so he ignored her.
Even though Lu Rou knew that her father still loved her the most, she still couldn’t stand Lu Zhen taking up her father’s time. Moreover, as she grew older, Lu Rou also had her own judgment of beauty and ugliness. She realized that Lu Zhen was much better-looking than her. When guests came to the house, although they would praise her for looking like a little princess, they would always look at Lu Zhen.
All of this made Lu Rou extremely dissatisfied. She did not want to see Lu Zhen at home anymore.
At night, after Lu He returned, Lu Rou immediately took the necklace and complained to Lu He, saying that Lu Zhen was a thief and should be chased out. Otherwise, she would definitely steal things at home.
Lu He looked at the necklace in Lu Rou’s hand and frowned. Lu He could naturally tell that this necklace was on a completely different level from the cheap goods sold online. Lu He asked Lu Rou to show him the necklace. After that, Lu He studied it for a long time and felt that the workmanship and design of this necklace were quite outstanding.
How could an orphan like Lu Zhen have such a necklace?
That night, Lu He called Lu Zhen into the room and asked her where the necklace came from.
Lu Zhen thought that Lu He really suspected that she was a thief and hurriedly explained. Lu He listened for a long time and realized that Lu Zhen did not know the source of this necklace. From the moment Lu Zhen could remember, this necklace had been with her.
“Alright, there’s no need to say anything else. Since your sister likes this necklace, give it to her. Don’t look like you’re about to cry. Are you dissatisfied with my words? If you film well in the future, what necklace can’t you buy?” Lu He raised her voice and looked at Lu Zhen coldly.
The young Lu Zhen naturally did not dare to say anything else. She was in extreme pain and cried when she returned to her room.
The necklace naturally landed in Lu Rou’s hand in the end. She wore it a few times, but the children in school told her that blue and purple were colors that only witches would use. They even said that Lu Rou looked more than ten years older with this necklace.
Lu Rou naturally did not know that those children said that because they were jealous that she had such a good-looking necklace. After hearing these words, she also felt that the necklace was not good-looking at all. She threw it away when she returned home..
