Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 35 Don't Bully My Sister!

Violet Bai watched Ruth and her date as they walked towards them, 'That doesn't look like one of An's

son and he doesn't look like the kind of guy that would associate himself with someone like Ruth.'

Carla pulled Sean who was on the side and patted his shoulder, "Sean, whatever it is that will happen

later, just keep eating and don't say a word."

'Now that we are here, there is no going back.

We are staying and we will face this bravely.'

"Ruth, it's been a long time since I last saw you!" Violet Bai greeted and held out her hand.

Ruth was wearing a pinkish white Chanel one-piece dress which worked pretty nice with her fair skin.

The smile on her face was elegant and stunning, "You are... Violet Bai?"

Though Ruth replied, she ignored the hand that Violet held out.

"Well, yes, I thought you have already forgotten about me, my old classmate." Violet pulled back her

hand and pointed at the door, "Come in, please!"

Ruth raised her head, responded silently with a smile and walked towards the room. But before she

entered, she looked at Carla, "Who is this? Why is she here at our class reunion party now that her kid

is at this age? Isn't she ashamed of herself?"

The tip of Carla's lips twitched.

'Damn, is she blind? Has she forgotten all the maths she had learned in high school?!

Sean is almost ten this year and how could he possibly be my son? Besides, everyone from our class

knew that I have a little brother, ' Carla thought to herself.

"Take it easy!" Violet knew Carla's temper and patted her on the shoulder, comforting, "Don't let her get

her way."

The atmosphere got heated when some of their classmates entered the room.

Most of them were talking to Ruth, kissing up to her and gossiping with her.

"Ruth, you are getting prettier, after all, you are born a beauty. With some makeup you certainly are

gorgeous. No wonder the second son of the An family is deeply attracted to you!"

"Well, Ruth, are you really in love with the second son of the An family? Why did someone tell me that

it's only a rumor?"

There were people kissing up to her, and there were also people who doubted whether or not the rumor

about Ruth was true or if she was only making a fuss.

Ruth looked at her two old classmates who were surrounding her, took out her phone and made a

phone call slowly, "You will know if it is true in no time."

"Hi, Rhys, it's me, Ruth. I'm at the Rose Club now. I wonder if you could pick me up later when I am

finished?"

"Okay, sure, let me know when you are finished!"

Ruth ended the call and looked at the crowd with a smug smile on her face, "You will know if it's true

pretty soon!

Why would I lie to you? Do you really think I'm like someone who said that she could win over the love

of the best-looking boy in our high school? Now look at her. I wonder if he really even knew her,"

Ruth surveyed the room and stopped her gaze at Carla.

Actually, she recognized Carla the moment she saw her but was reluctant to admit it.

"Well, well, isn't that Carla? It was she that bet with Ruth in public! But that boy back then is no match

to the second son of the An family!"

The people who are gossiping around Ruth looked at Carla and laughed at her even more.

"Ruth, as far as I know, the An family has three sons. Could you please tell me all about these three

masters?"

"Well, I know one thing. Rumor has it that though the An family has three sons, only the third son is the

legitimate heir, while the other two are..."

"Shut your mouth. You should choose your words wisely or you'll have to eventually pay the price!"

Ruth's words terrified the girl in the blue dress and stopped her from continuing her gossip.

She just couldn't keep her big loose mouth under control.

Even if she didn't say it, everyone in JA City knew that though Mr. Terence was the third son of the An

family, he was the only legitimate heir.

Besides, the other two were no match to Terence in qualification and intelligence.

But he stayed low key and there was barely any news about him.

"Terence? Carla, are they talking about the Terence we know?" Sean was enjoying his meal when he

heard them talking about Mr. Terence and found his name familiar.

The day Terence left, he was hiding in his room and heard people call him Mr. Terence.

"Shush, didn't I tell you to focus on your meal and stay out of adults' business?" Carla whispered and

patted his head gently.

Sean nodded his head and continued to enjoy his food.

Ruth felt offended after being questioned about the status of her boyfriend, so she raised her chin and

smiled as if she didn't care about any of it, "Alright, it's not easy for us to get together. Don't just talk

about me. Carla has been sitting there for a long time, and we shouldn't ignore her."

Violet heard Ruth change the subject, so she looked at Carla out of concern.

Originally Ruth was not going to join the reunion but she changed her mind when she heard that Carla

was coming.

How could she possibly let go of the chance to bully her?

"Carla, it's been a long time. How are you?" Ruth stood up and sat next to Carla with a big smile on her

face, "A friend of mine in BH City told me that you were delivering food for a restaurant. Is that true?"

Ruth's words grabbed the attention of everyone present and they all stared at Carla.

Of course, mostly in mockery and some in sympathy.

"Yes, so what?" Carla replied in a flat tone.

She neither stole nor robbed. She actually earned her living with her own hands, and there was nothing

to be ashamed of.

But Carla's response made everyone laugh, especially those around Ruth. They were almost rolling on

the floor.

"That can't be right, Carla? Weren't you pretty promising at high school? How did you end up like this?"

Ruth covered her mouth with one hand and laughed then she pulled her dress a little higher, showing

her beautiful legs, proud and confident.

"How about I introduce you to a job here in JA City?"

"Most of all, if you can deliver food here in JA City, you are sure to rank no.1 in the business! Or if you

want, you can be one of our household help!"

Sean understood that they were making fun of his sister and clenched his fists. Though he was only

ten, he was more sensible than other people.

Suddenly, he stood up!

"Don't bully my sister!"

If it wasn't for him, there were probably a lot of better jobs waiting for her. Carla couldn't go out on

business trips or work too late because she had to look after her younger brother, therefore many

companies did not want to hire her.

"Ha, look at this little kid! He is pretty protective of his sister and the way he clenches his fists, it seems

he wants to have a fight with us..."

The two women sitting across Carla pointed at Sean and laughed.

"I heard that their parents were long gone. Do you think this kid was breast fed by his sister?"

"What? What are you two talking about? How old do you think Carla is? Don't be ridiculous! She didn't

give birth to this kid, so how could she be able to breast feed him?"

"Who knows. Maybe they found a way? After all, milk powder is too expensive for them to afford."

Beneath the table, Carla's fists were already clenched and she pursed her lips tightly.

"Enough! Do you really need to be so cruel to an old classmate?"

Violet couldn't stand it any more and stood up, "Sean was already seven when his parents died. Were

you still being breast fed when you were in elementary school? Do you guys know what on earth you

are talking about?"

Ruth sat there, legs crossed as she looked at Violet who was defending Carla and said, "Violet, I know

you were in good terms with Carla in high school, but time has changed. We are just having fun. What?

Do you have a problem with that?

Think this through. Do you really want to offend us just to protect your old playmate?"

Ruth didn't even see Carla as a person. She didn't care to hide her intention that tonight she was

deliberately picking on Carla.

Those who helped Carla were surely enemies of hers!
