Chapter 224 - 216: Encounter
Was that a sneer?
Lu Yun looked amusedly at the somewhat haughty woman before her and scrutinized her in return. The woman was dressed in a white wool coat adorned with a diamond-studded dragonfly brooch on the collar. Beneath the coat was a red turtleneck sweater, and on her feet were a pair of black sheepskin boots.
The whole ensemble was simple and crisp, with an air of sharpness typical of modern career women.
In her hands, she carried a small bag along with several shopping bags, whereas Duan Muhong had nothing in his hands.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Before Lu Yun could respond, Duan Muhong’s face reddened with embarrassment as he looked at the woman, then he apologized to Lu Yun, "Xiaoyun, don’t take it to heart. My eldest sister can be a bit harsh with her words, but she doesn’t mean any harm. Go ahead and enjoy your shopping; we have to get going."
Without waiting for Lu Yun’s reaction, he pulled the woman along and quickly strode forward as if in a rush.
Duan Xin stumbled a bit from being pulled. She had intended to find an opportunity to humiliate Lu Yun. Although Lu Yun knew her place, refraining from shamelessly pursuing her younger brother despite her status, the fact that she dared to reject him so blatantly without giving him any face had infuriated Duan Xin for quite some time.
A mere merchant’s stepdaughter, who gave her the right to look down on their outstanding younger brother?
