Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 280 Cousins

“What are you doing…” After being invited to sit down, Lu Mingfei looked at the three sisters sitting opposite him with a strange expression.

That's right. No matter who you are, when you arrive at an antique Suzhou garden bought by the Japanese, you will first be greeted by a butler wearing a Western-style tuxedo and a maid in black and white maid uniforms. Then you will be greeted by three sisters wearing various Chinese costumes that don't look like Japanese at all. It's a bit strange, right?
Compared with them, Lu Mingfei's casual wear was not too casual, but it was still a little bit not good enough.

Not to mention Chen Motong, who was wearing an evening gown that looked like she was going to dominate the party. She seemed to match the butler in a tuxedo and the maids in black and white maid outfits. Compared with the three sisters, she looked more like the owner of the manor.

Uesugi Eriya glanced at Lu Mingfei quietly, lowered her head and wrote in the notebook: "Sister said, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Lu Mingfei glanced at her from the side. The blue and white sleeveless cheongsam was a slim fit, which perfectly showed off her plump figure that was not in line with her age. She sat there quietly, with a bit of a queenly temperament.

She sat sideways on a wooden stool. The hem of her cheongsam was slit, and her thighs were full and curved, and her slender, white calves were faintly visible under the blue and white hem of her skirt. It was so white that it made people wonder where to put their eyes...

It's just that it looks good, but what's up with this bun? Lu Mingfei looked at the bun on Eri's head, which was cute but ruined her temperament. Her rare queen temperament was completely ruined!

As for the Shangshan Wangshu girl, although she usually wears Hanfu, today's outfit is undoubtedly much more formal and solemn. The dark red off-shoulder palace dress and the exquisite antique makeup make her already charming temperament even more charming, almost catching up with Jiude Mai.

Her hair was tied up with a brooch in it, looking glittering with jewels. She held a round fan in her hand, covering her mouth with it and smiling slightly. Her makeup was charming, and the semi-transparent round fan could not hide her charm at all, which made people dare not look at her any more.

The palace dress should have a solemn temperament, but she wore it like a soul-stealing courtesan in the dusty land, which could seduce people with just a glance. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had been with Jiude Mai for a long time and had seen a lot of beautiful girls, otherwise he would have been embarrassed with his heart beating fast and his face blushing.

As for the eldest sister, Nan Liusheng, her outfit was not so fancy. Her plain long skirt made her look so ordinary compared to her two younger sisters. Her unpainted face was expressionless, and her long dark hair was simply tied up with a ribbon.

She looked calm, with no smile on her face or eyes, and she didn't seem to pay much attention to Lu Mingfei. Rather than meeting her sister's friends, it was more like meeting a business partner, and she was the kind of person who would just talk about nothing and leave early if there was nothing to talk about.

However, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but take another look at her. This extremely casual look really gave her a bit of the feeling of an elegant hermit in ancient times. This alone made her no worse than her two younger sisters.

In the quaint hall, there are three quaint sisters. When Lu Mingfei stepped into the main door before, he couldn't help feeling dazed, as if he had traveled through time and arrived at the Jiangnan water town a thousand years ago.

Lu Mingfei felt strange in his heart and expression, so he asked directly: "Why do you want to wear Hanfu?"

He had wanted to ask this question a long time ago, not just now, but Shangshan Wangshu's daily outfit is also Hanfu. Although it is beautiful, it is still a bit strange to use Hanfu as daily wear.

The woman in the shirt looked at him, smiled and said, "Because it is not appropriate to wear a kimono here, and Hanfu is the source of the kimono, so it is okay to wear this."

"...quite reasonable." Lu Mingfei nodded in understanding.

"It's all your sister's fault. It's such an important occasion to meet Eri's friends, but you dressed so casually." The woman in the shirt covered her face with a round fan and complained quietly, "I prepared such a beautiful dress, and Eri cooperated by wearing a beautiful cheongsam, but you are the only one who looks so special."

The indifference on Shangshan Nanliusheng's face finally couldn't be maintained. She sighed helplessly: "...I don't like your beautiful dress."

"What's not suitable?" Shangshan Wangshu asked back, "We are twin sisters, what suits me must also suit you."

Shangshan Nanliusheng turned his head and glanced at his sister who was hiding her smile with a round fan. She ignored him and just turned her head away and stopped talking. Speaking of which, although these two are twin sisters, their height, weight and measurements are the same, but their temperaments are very different.

My sister has a cool and capable temperament. Apart from the fact that she wants to open a sunscreen store, when she puts on a black windbreaker, the feeling of non-violent non-cooperation comes up all of a sudden.

As for the younger sister, she was so charming and enchanting that she didn't look like a lady from a gangster family, but more like a geisha in gorgeous clothes. Although she seemed to be infatuated with everyone, she attached great importance to her family. If nothing unexpected happened, her elder sister and younger sister's dress today was designed by her.

Lu Mingfei watched the two sisters complaining to each other with great interest. Their casual attitude seemed to encourage the guests to be casual as well, but they were too nervous and serious.

However, it was a bit redundant to do this in front of Lu Mingfei and the others. Lu Mingfei was once called the atmosphere destroyer in Shilan for a period of time, because most of the time when he was there, the serious atmosphere could not be maintained for long.

As for Chen Motong, don't underestimate the mental state of a mentally ill person.

"...I can't bear it anymore." Chen Motong suddenly stood up, scaring Lu Mingfei.

She walked towards Uesugi Erie, who was hiding her face with a notebook, and secretly looked at her from behind the notebook. She was a little curious about this distant cousin who suddenly came to her house and had the same long crimson hair and eyes as herself, and more importantly, came with Lu Mingfei.

Chen Motong's sudden standing up also startled her, and she was even more at a loss when she found that she was walking towards her. Uesugi Eriya would be indifferent to strangers, but would be much gentler to familiar people... although this gentle attitude was mostly expressed with an indifferent expression.

Although Lu Mingfei seemed to not remember her now, he was undoubtedly the person she knew best, so her attitude towards him was naturally different from that towards others.

Is Chen Motong familiar with her? Uesugi Eriri has not seen Chen Motong many times. They did not run into each other when they were in Shilan Middle School. She just knew that there was a girl with crimson hair and crimson eyes in the school.

It was not until she heard her two sisters mention it that she knew she had such a cousin.

Chen Motong walked behind Uesugi Eriya, holding her shoulders and leaning against the back of the chair. She reached out and untied the rather stereotypical bun, freeing Uesugi Eriya's long crimson hair, then took out a small comb from her bag and combed it carefully.

After the initial confusion, Uesugi Erii did not struggle but cooperated obediently.

Strictly speaking, she had just met this distant cousin today. However, the similar hair and eye colors, as well as a certain sense of identity hidden in the blood, prevented her from showing an indifferent expression when they first met. Chen Motong combed Shangshan Erie's hair, divided it, and then put it together. The two beautiful girls had similar hair and eye colors, and standing together, it was very easy for people to mistake them for real sisters.

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised, because Chen Motong's expression was very serious now, not nervous or unpredictable, gentle and a little trance, as if he had seen her somewhere before. Then he shook his head, he must be crazy to think that he had bumped into her by chance before.

Then he noticed that the expressions of Uesugi Eri's two sisters beside him changed a little. The expressions were a little subtle, a little surprised, and a little sour. They seemed to be wondering if these two distant cousins ​​who looked too similar were real sisters.

Chen Motong didn't work for long. She tied up Uesugi Eri's long hair and borrowed a hairpin from Shangshan Wangshu to fix it. She walked to the front and looked around. She put away the small comb with satisfaction and sat back in her original position.

Uesugi Erii was holding the dressing mirror given by her sister. She didn't seem to like the bun hairstyle very much. After changing her hairstyle, her pretty face was obviously filled with joy.

She seemed to suddenly remember something, lowered her head and wrote on the notebook, then held it up for Lu Mingfei to see: "Is it appropriate?"

Lu Mingfei nodded, and couldn't help but give Chen Motong a thumbs up. Although her mental state was inexplicably worrying, her aesthetic taste was still on point.

After Chen Motong's treatment, the queen temperament that was completely destroyed by the bun hair returned. Paired with the gentle blue and white cheongsam, Uesugi Eriya, who looked like a lady from a noble family, was like a piece of porcelain, beautiful enough to be passed down for thousands of years.

"Although this looks good, I still think a bun hairstyle is cuter." The Wangshu girl in the shirt put away the dressing mirror with a little disappointment.

She knew that a cheongsam would be suitable with such a gentle hairstyle, but when she was doing it for her sister, she subconsciously changed it to this style, because buns are cute. Making her sister cute is more important than anything else.

She looked at Chen Motong and asked, "Ms. Chen, can I call you Nuonuo? I heard that your friends all call you that."

"You are welcome to call me whatever you want. I just get a headache when I hear Miss Chen, Miss Mo Tong, etc." Chen Mo Tong's expression returned to its previous indifference. "What should I call you? Yuan Zhinv? You seem to be more used to this name, right?"

"Wangshu-nü is enough. Gen-chi-nü is in the past." Uesugi-no-Wangshu-nü smiled slightly. "This is the first time I've seen... no, the second time I've seen Eri willing to get close to someone she's only met for a short time. The power of blood is truly magical."

"Who knows? Maybe one generation is close to another, and another generation is not close to each other." Chen Motong shrugged, "Some people are so strange. We have been together for a long time but we find that we don't understand each other at all. After meeting someone once, I suddenly understand you."

Then she glanced at Lu Mingfei, expressing her curiosity about who the first person was.

Lu Mingfei glanced back at her in confusion, and turned back to look at Uesugi Eriri who handed him the notebook. The latter seemed to be in a good mood after meeting him. She said that she had a game console in her room and enthusiastically invited Lu Mingfei to play with her.

Lu Mingfei was a little embarrassed. Wasn't this girl lacking common sense? Although this third lady might really just invite him to play games together and had no other ideas, it was indeed a bit subtle for adolescent boys and girls to invite the opposite sex into the room.

Lu Mingfei felt a scrutinizing gaze coming from behind him. It was not that stressful, but it was hard to ignore. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. It was the eldest sister of the Shangshan family who had not said much.

Uesugi Nanryusei originally didn't want to participate in this reception because something unexpected happened in the Chinese branch's operation the night before.

The sudden appearance of the white figure startled many people, and although there were reports that the white figure had been defeated by Zero who had suddenly appeared, no one knew where this thing came from, and no one knew if it was just one individual.

In short, the eradication of the remaining ghosts began after that night. Now was the time to recruit people, and Chu Tianjiao said that if he doubted someone, he would not employ him, and if he employed someone, he would not doubt him, so he decided to let them participate in the eradication of the remaining ghosts.

They knew the ghosts well and did not disappoint Chu Tianjiao. Relying on their past experience, they eliminated many hidden underground strongholds in southern Jiangsu on Saturday when the operation just started.

But these were just some small fry, the kind that didn't even know the existence of the King General. Shangshan Nanliusheng suspected that these were all smoke bombs released by the King General to disrupt their formation. Chu Tianjiao naturally understood this, so after eliminating a stronghold, he asked them to suspend the action and wait for instructions.

Shangshan Nanliusheng originally wanted to go to the Chinese branch on her day off. The sisters knew the fierce ghosts very well and knew that the poisonous snakes hiding under the dead leaves were the most terrifying. Unfortunately, before she could leave, Shangshan Wangshu stopped her.

Shangshan Wangshu naturally joined in the eradication of the remaining ghosts. The people who know the enemy best are often the ghosts themselves. As a former dragon king, she knows the methods of the ghosts too well. It is precisely because of her presence that they can act so quickly.

However, all she caught after so much effort were some useless fish, which made her a little discouraged. So she decided to take a break before the order came out for action. She casually grabbed her sister who was planning to go out to work overtime, and said that although work was important, she should not forget to spend time with her family.

Hence, we have the current scene.

Shangshan Nanliusheng looked at Lu Mingfei silently after he came in. She was naturally happy that her sister had a friend in school so quickly. But it was a little different when this friend was related to some shady plan of the secret party.

Uesugi Nan Liusheng still remembered that the night before he left for China, Uesugi Yue found her and gave her a serious warning, asking her to keep an eye on her sisters and not to be fooled by that old bastard Ange. As a person who had experienced it, he was very clear about the shamelessness of the secret party.

As expected, on the day she arrived at the new school, Eri, who was supposed to be in the preparatory class, was transferred to a non-preparatory class. And in this class, there happened to be the person that Uesugi Kochi had repeatedly told her to avoid.

As expected, they became neighbors and as expected, they played together.

Uesugi Nan Liusheng saw it all, but couldn't stop it. Because Wangshu had told her that Eri was no longer the sickly girl who needed them to keep a close eye on her. She longed for the outside world, and excessive care would only make her rebel like other girls.

So, here comes today’s invitation.
