Chapter 87 - Scheming "Woman"

Chapter 87 - Scheming "Woman"

Lu An was a little confused. She poked her father and gestured at Second Brother, who was sitting so far away.
Father Lu paused for a moment, then looked at No. 2 and said, "No. 2, why are you suddenly treating us to a meal? Are you done with work?"
"No, I hit a snag, and decided to take a break."
No. 2 answered simply and casually. He sat alone on the other side. Pouring himself some red wine, he sipped it unhurriedly. His commanding aura made him seem like he was facing off against Lu An, who was flanked on both sides.
Lu An asked curiously, "What snag is it? Do you mind talking about it?
"We might not be professionals, but who knows, we might be able to give some suggestions?"
The little girl's black eyes were pure and innocent.
Oh?
A certain second brother looked at his so-called little sister in surprise, but didn't refuse. He said calmly in his magnetic voice, "Actually, it's not a big problem. There's just a scheming woman who has a tight hold on the other individuals with leads, so much so that we can't proceed. Or should I say, that it's very difficult to proceed?"
A certain second brother's gaze landed on his sister, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.
"Oh, is that so?"
Lu An didn't read into it. She had never ascribed to herself the emotions of people she was unrelated to. She only thought that Second Brother was in a bad mood because of the case. After careful consideration, she said, "Then, this woman will definitely be smug or arrogant, right?
"After all, since it's a deliberate ploy, she'll definitely be thinking of how to flaunt her achievements or disdainfully demonstrate her intelligence.
"My suggestion is to start with her. As long as she's playing tricks, sooner or later, you'll find a flaw.
"Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, what do you think?"
Little Sister discussed the matter seriously, and then asked her father, big brother, and third brother for their opinions.
The three of them didn't look too good, especially Big Brother. He looked at No. 2 with a gloomy and warning gaze.
Lu An was confused. "What's wrong?" Why was the atmosphere so strange? Could it be…
"It's like this, Daughter!"
Father Lu secretly glared at a certain second brother. He held his daughter's hand and said with concern, "There are some people you don't have to bother with. If they want to be surly, let them. Anyway, I will always believe you and not let you suffer."
"Oh."
Lu An nodded, still confused. "Who's being surly? Why is he being surly?"
Saying that, she instinctively glanced at Second Brother.
"This…" Who knew why he was being surly?
Little Sister greeted you, and you ignored her!
Now, you even called her a scheming woman? This little brat, this is your little sister, your biological sister! Blood is thicker than water! You're the schemer! You're a fool!
Father Lu was even more unhappy. He glared at a certain No. 2 again and couldn't be bothered with him.
Lu An seemed to understand, and asked directly, "Are you talking about Second Brother?"
"This…" Dad froze. He didn't expect his daughter to be so straightforward!
On the other side, a certain second brother chuckled softly and looked at this so-called little sister with a deep gaze. He even raised his head slightly and retorted, "So, you admit that you're a scheming woman?"
"Huh?" Lu An was super innocent. She was kindly helping him consider a problem, but he was trying to implicate her?
Lu An was really speechless, and said, "I indeed have a lot of schemes, there's nothing to deny. After all, I'm so smart; if I'm scheming something, there's absolutely no way you would be able to tell, and no one would be able to figure it out. But, a 'woman'???
"I'm only 17!"
