Chapter 679: Chapter 22: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 22)

On the side, Han Li didn’t know what was inside, she just kept asking.

"Are we gonna have a good dinner tonight? I want to eat meat. How long has it been since I last ate meat? There’s barely any meat in lobsters, you can’t get full on it. With our three ingredient cards, maybe we can make a three-course meal with soup!"

After she finished speaking, she realized a little too late that Lu Huan had remained silent ever since the box was opened.

"What’s wrong? What cards do we have to show everyone?"

Lu Huan had a dark expression, and Han Li eagerly took the cards over.

At this moment, the live camera directly focused on the contents of the cards.

In the next second, the cameraman couldn’t help but chuckle.

Although it was brief, everyone in the livestream room heard it loud and clear.

[Hahahahahahaha!!!]

[Sorry but, hahahahahahaha what the hell, this is hilarious!]

[Scallions, ginger, garlic, three cards for three ingredients, hahahahaha are you trying to make me laugh to death?]

[Isn’t this too strong-flavored for dinner, ahahaha]

[Absurd, opening three boxes for these things, how are you supposed to eat at night? Just eat scallions, ginger, and garlic directly?]

[You’re really unlucky! At least Jiang Qu has a whole bucket of crawfish to eat, and you guys only have a dozen!]

[Well done, full marks for entertainment value. If this wasn’t scripted, I’ll eat shit standing on my head.]

Han Li’s expression could be described as spectacular.

From the initial anticipation to the subsequent look of despair, she managed to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance in just a few seconds.

Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow.

"What is it? From the looks on your faces, it must be quite the feast, huh? It’s a pity that tonight we’ll just have to make do with some crawfish, a side of pancakes, and a bit of porridge. Oh right, there’s still some eggs I bought earlier, maybe I’ll make shrimp-steamed eggs with them."

Jiang Lai sighed.

"Oh dear brother, glad your brain is sharp and knows what’s worthwhile in this pit. Sometimes, when you cut corners, what happens later? Oh right, you reap what you sow!"

After speaking, she glanced coldly at Lu Ming.

Then she mouthed two words silently.

Trash.

Jiang Qu cooperatively faced away from the camera and gave him an international hand gesture.

At this moment, Lu Ming’s eyes turned red in an instant.

The hand hidden under his sleeve was clenched tightly, and although he was trying his best to control his emotions, when he saw Lu Huan looking at him with accusing and resentful eyes, the veins on his neck bulged prominently.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Couldn’t you have caught a few more lobsters? Now look, we only have this bit to eat tonight!"

Lu Ming stared at Lu Huan, watching her mouth opening and closing with complaints.

For a moment, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

To cover her mouth, choke her neck, and make her unable to speak forever.

But that terrifying thought dissipated with a gust of wind, though the anger and shame gathered at the bottom of his heart made him raise his hand and give Lu Huan a harsh shove.

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have lost!"

What mattered most to him was winning or losing.

He was born a winner, meant to enjoy endless attention and glory.

And indeed, he had grown up under such a halo all these years.

But now, it’s all ruined because of Lu Huan! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

He had failed, twice in a row!

Lost to Jiang Qu, whom he usually looked down upon the most.

Having been pushed, Lu Huan fell straight to the ground, and after being stunned for a long time, she immediately got up like a madwoman to hit Lu Ming.

"You hit me?! Are you crazy, why are you hitting me!"

Lu Huan had never suffered such treatment, especially from Lu Ming, which made her even more unacceptable.

"What does losing have to do with me?! Besides, what if we lose? Are you going to starve me? Aren’t you supposed to be the capable one? Why are you taking it out on me now!"

The scene became a complete chaos.

Although the live stream camera was turned off in time, due to the network delay, the video of Lu Huan and Lu Ming, the brother-sister duo, fighting still got out.

The explosive video, tagged with #HuanMingSiblingsFight#, instantly blew up across the internet upon release.

Fans of the sibling duo were rapidly unfollowing them after seeing that video.

All topics about them were now surrounding this video, and the comments below were especially lively.

[Thinking back to when I was moved to tears by this sibling duo’s bond, now I just want to puke]

[Pushing your own sister, Lu Ming really has hidden depths]

[Such a young age but already knows how to put on a façade, my god, is there even a faultless façade in this world?]

[Black fans, don’t start rumors. If you don’t know the whole story, don’t speak nonsense, alright?]

[Lu Ming was wrong to push, he’s no good, but no one could stand having a sister like Lu Huan either]

[In summary, neither of the siblings is decent]

[It’s hilarious, what siblings don’t have little fights? How old is Lu Ming? Compared to other boys, he’s already way better!]

[Siblings everywhere, don’t blow it out of proportion, it’s common to fight but never hold grudges overnight, no need to escalate it to character issues]

Even though there were quite a few fans speaking up for Lu Ming, a large number of the sibling CP fans unfollowed, and Lu Ming’s reputation took a hit.

That noon, Jiang Lai used some of the lobsters to make shrimp tail steamed eggs, stir-fried green onions with eggs, and served them with white steamed buns, having a meal with the sisters Qu Yongjia.

As for Lu Huan and Han Li, since they had no ingredients, Han Li directly suggested that they could sell something. She brought down a jar of honey from the mountain earlier, which they could sell at the market for money.

Strained to the breaking point with Lu Ming, Lu Huan had no choice but to follow Han Li’s advice and take the honey to exchange for money.

When they got to the market, they found out that out of ten stalls, four were selling honey, and theirs was freshly harvested honeycomb, looking fresh and enticing.

After crouching there for a long time, not a single person came by to ask.

Initially, Lu Huan wanted to use this opportunity to show Lu Ming that she could still live well without him.

But in less than an hour, she couldn’t stand it anymore.

The sun was mercilessly scorching, and to protect from it, she wore a sun protection suit from head to toe, making it stuffy and unbearably hot, and breathing difficult.

Han Li could hold out a bit longer, but Lu Huan stood up, waving her hand.

"I can’t, I just can’t, you watch over here, I’ll go sit over there and cool off. The people here must lack common sense, why don’t they set up a canopy or something."

Han Li rolled her eyes, feeling displeased but saying nothing.

After all, she couldn’t cook, and would have to rely on Lu Huan’s brother Lu Ming for their next meal.
