Chapter 6: Plenty of People are Looking into Me

Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lu Xinnuan knocked, Lu Mian was texting on her phone. The black digital charts on her phone gave off a dim light while her arm flipped through the books.

Lu Xinnuan glanced at the book. It was titled “Female Stock Trade Goddess”. She thought it was quite funny.

Lu Mian paid no attention, continuing to text instead.

Zero: Brother Mian you’re amazing. Did you see the trends of the market these few days? You’ve made a fortune!

Mian: It’s normal.

Zero: You’re the boss. Bought in at two dollars and sold at hundred and twelve dollars. You earned a billion dollars in the span of two days. You have my respect!

Mian: Anything else?

Zero: Brother Mian, I’m curious… The money in your account is enough for you to be the wealthiest, right? I really want to know what expression people will have when they realize that the richest person in the country is you, not the Xiao family of Jinjing. Tsk tsk…

Zero was her close aide, and they were chatty. “Boring,” Lu Mian replied before she put her phone away.

When she was done, Lu Xinnuan walked through the door. Lu Mian narrowed her eyes at her sister, her gaze nonchalant.

“Sister, I knocked just now… I entered since I saw that the door was unlocked.”

Her careful demeanor was like a pitiful small rabbit.

“What’s up?”

“I brought a cup of milk up for you. We’ll be eating soon, so this is just to keep you sated.”

“Is there anything else? En?” She raised her last words and asked calmly. She did not expect an answer, but she paid no attention.

Lu Xinnuan stood there, biting her lip awkwardly, indignance on her face.

She had a twin sister, and to others, it was something to be envious of. But only Lu Xinnuan knew what a terrible experience it was.

Since young, she had never known what it was like to be unique.

They would always be compared.

Their parents would subconsciously put them in the same clothes, give them the same look, buy them the same toys.

Thankfully there were fraternal twins, so they did not look alike.

But…

She looked at Lu Mian’s beautiful face in the warm light of the table lamp, and she felt inferior.

She always remembered what relatives and friends said when they were young.

“Mianmian’s so pretty! And Nuannuan’s so adorable…”

She knew exactly what they meant by that.

Lu Xinnuan pursed her lips and let it go.

Thankfully, things were different now.

“Sister… things have been tough for mom during the past two years. Because of the kidnapping, we’re in debt, and dad’s the way he is… It’s been hard on mom.” She said gently.

Lu Mian remained silent, looking at her phone.

Zero: Brother Mian, someone’s investigating you, you should keep a low profile.

Mian: There are plenty of people who are investigating me.

Zero: That’s true, who do they think they are!

Lu Mian was impassive.

Seeing that her sister could not be bothered with her, Lu Xinnuan’s eyes turned red. She walked forward, wanting to hold her sister’s hand, but she was fazed by the latter’s cold smile.

She looked around frantically. Her gaze landed on the study table, where books similar to the one in Lu Mian’s hand were scattered around.

Lu Mian’s table was not what a good high school student should have.

She knew that her sister had never been interested in studying since young, and she did not have any interest in her sister’s nonsense.

“Sister, do you hate me…”
