"That's right. What of it?"
Lu Zheng looked at her with pity. "Although I said we are the same, you have it harder than me. Unlike you, I can at least hide my familial relationship with Lu Ruan because we are not closely related. But Li Caiyi is your twin sister, and you have a similar appearance. Unfortunately, your level can't be any more different."
The air temperature around Li Chunhua quickly dropped after hearing his words. She almost couldn't hold back the urge to stand and slap this bastard for insulting her dear sister.
Oblivious to her current mood, Lu Zheng took her silence as affirmation and continued.
"It will be better if you guys aren't twins, so people won't be able to associate you two at all. You are almost perfect, but your twin is not on par. I understand how it feels when people make their own conclusions and underestimate you just because they think you are the same failure as your relative. It's frustrating, isn't it?"
Li Chunhua's expression was as dark as the night sky. A raging storm swirled in her eyes as she tried hard not to flip the table and cursed this person out loud. But she still had to get information out of him.
"Lu Zheng, what are you saying? I never thought of my sister like that."
'Don't lump with the likes of you,' Li Chunhua restrained herself from saying that last part.

You don't have to feel bad for her, because you can say your opinion freely in front of me. Let's get to know each other better," Lu Zheng winked and reached out to hold her hand, but she avoided him almost automatically.
"Chunhua?"
"Is that what you, and everyone else, think of Xiaoyi and me all this time?"
This time, she couldn't hide the scorn in her voice. Lu Zheng noticed the change and was flustered, without knowing what mistake he had made.
"What happened? Are you surprised? But you should have already known what people think of you two, right? Li Caiyi benefitted greatly by having you as her sister. Senior Li and Senior Meng also have her back."
Li Chunhua bit her lips hard, and her facial expression was covered by her bangs, creating a shadow on her face. She couldn't believe the abomination she had just heard.
"Let's stop talking about this then. Our food is here." Lu Zheng smiled awkwardly while trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Chunhua grabbed her glass of orange juice as soon as the waiter left and poured the content on top of his head.
Lu Zheng felt the sticky coldness drenched his head and body, causing him to leap from his seat. All eyes fell on them, turning him into a big joke. It caused him to lose his temper and furiously glare at Li Chunhua.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"I'm sorry, but I have lost my appetite. People like you disgust me so much." Li Chunhua didn't bother to act politely anymore. There was no fake smile and flattery but only coldness and scorn in her eyes. "What makes you think you have the qualifications to judge my sister like that? You are courting death!"
Lu Zheng was taken aback by Li Chunhua's retaliation. The image of pure and fragile Li Chunhua he had in his mind was shattered, leaving him speechless in shock.
"I tried to be nice and listened to you, but you kept yapping your foul mouth. You aren't even worthy to carry my sister's shoes, yet you insult her. Who are you to speak degradingly like that? How absurd!"
The onlookers enjoyed this spectacle; some pulled out their phones to record it.
Lu Zheng, who heard the camera snapping, looked around, and his expression darkened. He recovered from the shock and quickly held on to Li Chunhua's wrist tightly. His face contorted so bad it made him look uglier.
"Don't mess around with me, you bitch. You are the one who approached me first, and now you want to act high and mighty with me. Stop acting pure and righteous. It's disgusting."
Li Chunhua sneered. "The feeling is mutual. Listening to your filthy words makes my ears bleed. Your breath pollutes the air in this room. Do everyone a favor and stop breathing, please."
People snickered at Li Chunhua's merciless comeback, which infuriated Lu Zheng further.

Li Chunhua couldn't even be bothered to feel offended by his insult. She rolled her eyes and hollered, "Is there anyone in this world you didn't look down upon? Rather than wasting your time with a mortal like us, how about you ascend to heaven and never return? A pig flying would be a sight to behold!"
"Y-you!" Lu Zheng's chest inflated and deflated as he grew angrier. Who would have thought that innocent-looking Li Chunhua could spout such poisonous words?
He could feel the tide was flowing in her favor, and people laughed at him for his pathetic display.
Lu Zheng was very prideful and couldn't stand people looking down on him, so he hated Li Chunhua to death. She was the cause of this situation.
"Have you done talking? Let's bring this outside."
Lu Zheng tugged her hand harshly, and Li Chunhua winced in pain from his tight grip. It felt like her arms could break. For a nerd, he had great strength.
"Ouch! Where are you taking me? I ain't going anywhere with a creep like you!" Li Chunhua shouted, and it provoked Lu Zheng even more.
"Just shut up and follow me. Let's finish this conversation outside!"
Lu Zheng, who looked at her with adoration until a moment ago, completely turned into a different person.
His good opinion of her had reached rock bottom, and he wanted nothing but to beat this girl if not for the dozens of cameras directed at him.
He thought she was different, but it turned out she was the same as other shallow women out there. Aside from the sense of betrayal, played by Li Chunhua was the greatest humiliation for him.
The more he thought about it, the more furious he became.
