The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: The Best Sisters in the World

Lin Yurou never expected Shen Lu to actually dare to talk back. ’Where did this low-class scum who usurped someone else’s place get the nerve to challenge me?’

Before, Lin Yurou wouldn’t have dared to confront Shen Lu directly. After all, the Shen Family’s status was higher than the Lin Family’s.

But things were different now. Lin Yurou raised her hand without hesitation.

With old grudges and new hatreds combined, she wouldn’t be satisfied if she didn’t slap Shen Lu across the face today.

Shen Lu shot her a cold glance, showing no intention of cowering or dodging.

Just as Lin Yurou’s hand was about to hit Shen Lu, Bai Wanwan pushed through the crowd and grabbed her.

"Lin Yurou, what are you doing?"

Lin Yurou’s entire demeanor changed in an instant. "Wanwan, I’m teaching Shen Lu a lesson for you. She’s just some low-class scum. I have no idea how she snuck in here. I’ll kick her out right now so she doesn’t ruin your birthday party."

Bai Wanwan’s expression suddenly turned cold. Lin Yurou tilted her chin up. ’I performed so well just now. Bai Wanwan will surely praise me, maybe even give me a gift to thank me.’

"Get out," Bai Wanwan said coldly.

Lin Yurou nodded eagerly and snapped at Shen Lu, "Did you hear that? Wanwan told you to get out!"

Shen Lu raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of moving.

Seeing this, Lin Yurou reached out to push her. Bai Wanwan turned her head and said curtly, "I was talking to you. Get out. You don’t need to attend my birthday party anymore."

Lin Yurou froze. She was so shocked she started to stutter. "Wan-Wanwan, you’re telling me to leave?"

’Shouldn’t Shen Lu be the one getting kicked out? How did it end up being me?’

As the undisputed star of the day, Bai Wanwan’s every word and action were under scrutiny, so everyone’s attention was now focused on them.

Most of the people here recognized Shen Lu and knew about the Shen Family’s "true and false young miss" affair.

They had thought that after Shen Lu was sent to the Lower City District, they would never see her or cross paths with her again. Who could have expected to run into her at Bai Wanwan’s birthday party?

And what’s more, was Bai Wanwan, her supposed arch-nemesis, actually stepping up to defend Shen Lu?

’No, we must be seeing things.’

"Are you deaf?" Bai Wanwan had never been the gentle, sweet type. "How many times do I have to say it?"

"But why?" Lin Yurou felt that even if she had to leave, she deserved to know why.

Bai Wanwan rolled her eyes at her and jutted her chin toward a household servant. A servant quickly came over to "escort" Lin Yurou away.

Lin Yurou had never been so humiliated. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she covered her mouth as she ran away, heartbroken.

The crowd was dumbfounded, not quite comprehending the situation.

"Shen Lu, you’re finally here!" Bai Wanwan’s previously cold and arrogant demeanor vanished. She pouted and said, "I’ve been waiting for you forever. I even sent you a message, but you didn’t reply."

"Something came up on the way and I got delayed," Shen Lu explained simply.

"Oh well, I forgive you," Bai Wanwan said, linking her arm with Shen Lu’s. "If I’d known, I would have had my driver pick you up."

Bai Wanwan led Shen Lu toward the center of the living room, chattering away nonstop. They didn’t look like arch-nemeses at all; they looked like the best of friends.

"Is that really Shen Lu? When did Bai Wanwan get so close to her?"

"It’s supposed to be a harmonious scene, so why is it sending a chill down my spine?"

"Do I sense Bai Wanwan trying to suck up to Shen Lu? No, no, I must be mistaken. How could that be?"

Seeing a scene that so thoroughly defied their understanding, it was hard for the crowd not to start gossiping.

They got so caught up in their discussion that they forgot to control their volume, and Shen Lu and Bai Wanwan heard everything.

Shen Lu: "I get the feeling you’re doing this on purpose."

Bai Wanwan looked away evasively. "On purpose? I don’t know what you’re talking about."
