Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 243

Lu Chen, however, was thinking about something else.

“You say your parents want you to be friends with Wang Duobao, but why is that?”

At this moment, Lu Chen still didn’t understand the real issues adults face. He was asking Little Chubby Girl what she meant.

“My parents say his family is better than the average, so they want me to be friends with him. They think it will be good for me, but I really don’t like Wang Duobao at all. Just look at him, he always acts like he’s better than everyone else, completely ignoring the others.

How could I possibly want to play with someone like him? I really don’t want to play with him. What do you think, Lu Chen?”

Listening Little Chubby Girl’s words, Lu Chen seemed to understand something. The confusion in his eyes turned to clarity.

He finally realized why Little Chubby Girl was upset. These words must have come from her parents recently.

The day before, Little Chubby Girl’s eyes were red, which meant she had definitely cried.

Although Little Chubby Girl was trying hard to hide it, Lu Chen could see right through her and knew whether she was lying.

Little girls like her often struggle to hide their emotions. How could her eyes be red from rubbing them?

So Lu Chen directly asked Little Chubby Girl if it was because of him that she had quarreled with her parents.

Little Chubby Girl quickly shook her head.

It has to be said that Lu Chen was so smart. He felt that Little Chubby Girl might just be a kind-hearted little girl. Her parents were also right to look down on his family.

Because they were indeed quite poor. If her parents didn’t want her to play with him, Lu Chen could understand.

“I don’t know. It’s just that I made your parents scold you. I didn’t mean to, and I’ll still pick up plastic bottles later.

I really like earning money on my own. If your parents don’t like you doing this, then maybe we should just see each other less in the future.”

Lu Chen made a decision to give up this friendship with Little Chubby Girl.

Little Chubby Girl was very sad after hearing Lu Chen’s words.

Her face was filled with an urge to cry. She instantly burst into tears, crying loudly.

Lu Chen didn’t expect Little Chubby Girl to cry so much. She was already ten years old, and ten-year-olds shouldn’t cry so fiercely.

Lu Chen felt quite awkward. Some classmates nearby saw Little Chubby Girl crying, and their gazes turned to her and Lu Chen. They all wondered why Little Chubby Girl was crying.

Lu Chen awkwardly touched Little Chubby Girl’s arm, trying to stop her from crying.

But Little Chubby Girl continued to cry. Lu Chen truly didn’t know what to do.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. If it bothers you, I take it back. I just meant that if you’re really afraid of being scolded by your parents, we can keep our distance.

But if you still want to play with me, of course, I’m willing. Look at you crying, of someone didn’t know, they would think I bullied you. Stop crying.”

Lu Chen nudged Little Chubby Girl.

She was originally crying and wiping her tears, but halfway through, she laid her head on the table and continued to cry.

The reason Little Chubby Girl was crying wasn’t because of Lu Chen’s words but because she was crying for herself.

She couldn’t make decisions for herself, which made her sad and heartbroken. Little Chubby Girl felt very sad right now and couldn’t control her tears.

Why did her mom and dad treat her this way?
