The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

    Luan Qing Xiao had been learning to sketch for more than a month, and finally could draw the curtain behind the wine bottle.

    The instructor asked her to study the lighting and shade by herself.
Luan Qing Xiao sketched the curtains like rags.
Then, Nie Zhen ’er taught her that the creases of the curtains should be shaded deeper in the middle and lighter on the sides.

    Luan Qing Xiao did as Nie Zhen’er taught her.
And when she turned it in, she was praised for the first time.

    Teacher Liu nodded and said, ”The curtains are well drawn. ”

    When class was about to end in the afternoon, Teacher Liu walked to Nie Zhen ’er excitedly with her phone in hand.
Luan Qing Xiao suspected it was related to the Lu Shi Cup painting contest.

    Sure enough, Teacher Liu patted Nie Zhen ’er on the shoulder without lowering her voice and exclaimed, ”Student Nie Zhen ’er, I’ve just received news that your piece has won the Lu Shi Cup Gold Award! ”

    Nie Zhen ’er ’s first reaction was to glance at Luan Qing Xiao.

    Luan Qing Xiao fluttered her eyes at her.

    Nie Zhen ’er ’s cheeks were ruddy, and her red lips curved upward.

    Liang Yan had something at home and left early mid-afternoon, so there were only two of them on the way home this time.

    There was no unhappiness remaining on Nie Zhen ’er ’s face.
She couldn ’t help but skip twice every once in a while as they were walking, looking both youthful, energetic and beautiful.
Luan Qing Xiao ’s heart throbbed and felt that she should do something for her.

    ”Zhen’er, want to come over for dinner to celebrate your painting winning the first place? ”

    Through these days of getting to know each other, Luan Qing Xiao vaguely felt that Nie Zhen ’er ’s family wasn’t rich, and painting was an incredibly money-burning thing.
If not for Nie Zhen ’er being really talented and had a future filled with money, her mother would probably never support her financially.

    According to the character card provided by System 520, Luan Qing Xiao speculates that Nie Zhen ’er ’s parents are divorced, and that she lived with her mother and depended on each other.

    But the relationship between the mother and daughter was definitely not anything ”good, ” otherwise when Luan Qing Xiao meets Nie Zhen ’er, her happiness wouldn’t have been zero.

    Nie Zhen ’er was overjoyed, ”Can I? It won’t bother you too much, right? ”

    Luan Qing Xiao smiled and said, ”Nah, my parents do business in other places all year round, and I am the only one at home. ”

    Just as Nie Zhen ’er was about to agree, but she hesitated after thinking again, ”I have to ask my mother… ” Her voice became smaller and smaller.

    ”Young Miss, don ’t be like this, ” Luan Qing Xiao bopped her little nose, ”If you are worried that you can ’t persuade Auntie, how about I help you. ”

    Nie Zhen ’er smiled reluctantly, the joy on her face was replaced by worry.

    Seeing Nie Zhen ’er like this made Luan Qing Xiao feel heartache.

    Generally speaking, when children talk about their mothers, they are usually intimate, but Nie Zhen ’er had pure fear in her eyes.

    She kinda wants to meet the female lead ’s mother.

    Walking to the fork in the road where they usually split up, Luan Qing Xiao said, ”Is Auntie at home now? I ’ll go and talk to her with you. ”

    Nie Zhen ’er shook her head, ”Qing Xiao, wait for me here.
I’ll go alone. ”

    Nie Zhen ’er didn ’t want her to see her mother, why?

    Luan Qing Xiao stared at Nie Zhen ’er ’s back and pondered.

    About ten minutes later, Nie Zhen ’er walked out of the door, followed by a middle-aged woman in a trendy outfit.

    The middle-aged woman brushed past Nie Zhen ’er and walked straight to Luan Qing Xiao.
Her eyes scanned Luan Qing Xiao ’s body.
Only when she was sure that she was wearing clothes from big brands, did her smile blossom from the heavily caked face.

    ”You are our Zhen’er classmate? What type of jobs does your parent do? I heard that your family is rather rich? Are you the one living in the huge villa over there? ”

    Nie Zhen ’er embarrassedly took the middle-aged woman ’s arm from behind, ”Mom, this is my classmate, Luan Qing Xiao. ”

    ”Qing Xiao, I told my mother that you invited me to your house for dinner.
My mother was still a bit worried and wanted to meet you first. ”

    The middle-aged woman yanked out her arm unhappily and lightly shoved Nie Zhen ’er, ”I was just asking casually.
Do you think I’m trying to embarrass you? ”

    Nie Zhen ’er staggered before catching her balance.
Her small hands clenched into fists, her nails stabbed into the soft flesh of her palms, and her thin body trembling, like a helpless flower in a rainstorm.

    The author has something to say: 

Luan Qing Xiao: With all due respect, if that woman wasn’t the female lead’s mother, I would have directly sent her flying with a kick.
