That Shocked Netizens
Sylvia also remembered this and immediately tried to explain, “Sorry, Sis Hope, I forgot that my brother is not feeling well today. I shouldn’t have asked him to help you with the luggage. It’s all my fault.”
“Oh, you know your brother is unwell, and yet you still don’t carry your own luggage?” Hope sarcastically remarked before heading upstairs with her bag.
To avoid being scolded by Noah’s fans, Sylvia pretended to grab the suitcase.
“Brother, let me carry it myself” she said.
Of course, Noah wouldn’t let her. He carried the suitcase with one hand and pulled Sylvia

upstairs with the other.
[This is too funny. He’s supposedly unwell and can’t lift a small backpack, but can manage a giant suitcase! What a double standard!]
[So fake. I’m turning against Noah now. He clearly didn’t want to help, pretending to be sick and weak. Disgusting.]
[Why did Sylvia bring such a big suitcase? Did she think she was going on vacation?]
[Unbelievable! She brought a huge suitcase and still has to stay on the top floor. Is she trying to tire out our brother?]
At this point, Hope had already reached the top floor. Her room, facing south, was filled with wooden planks, bed boards, tables, and cabinets.

She was wondering how to handle all the stuff when Sylvia arrived.
“Sis Hope, I just talked to my brother, and we can exchange tasks with the guys. They’ll help us move the items, and we’ll help them clean their rooms.”
“Your brother is unwell, right? Wow, he’s doing manual labor already?” Hope sarcastically responded. “How quickly he’s recovered.”
This “Oscar Queen” came to her for something, and it couldn’t be anything good.
“Uh… my brother can carry the smaller items. Sis Hope, please don’t be mad at him. These planks and tables are so heavy, how can you move them alone?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Mr. Benjamin and Mr.Robinson. I’ll clean their rooms, and you only need to clean your brother’s room.”
Hope asked with a calm tone, “Then why don’t you clean your brother’s room, and I’ll clean Teacher Deng and Teacher Fan’s rooms?”
“Uh… well… that’s because…” Sylvia’s mind raced, “Because you just had a quarrel with Teacher Robinson, and I was worried you wouldn’t agree. Plus, cleaning two rooms would be more tiring.”
“Oh, you’re so kind. Then you should clean all three of their rooms by yourself.”
Hope rolled up her sleeves. “Step aside, or don’t blame me if you get hit.”
She started throwing smaller items from the

Sylvia, feeling proud, waved at Hope, “Sis Hope, how come you haven’t moved a thing yet?”
She ran over, “If you regret it now, it’s still not too late.”
“As long as you ask, my brother and Brother Alex will definitely help you.”
Alex rubbed his sore palms, the blisters from carrying boxes painful to the touch. He’d never worked this hard in his two and a half years as a trainee!
Helping Sylvia was already doing Noah a favor. Did they think he would help Hope too? No way!
He lifted his chin arrogantly and said, “I’m hungry. I’m going down to buy something to

eat.”
His implication was clear–he didn’t have time to help Hope.
Sylvia looked at Noah, who also brushed off the dust from his clothes and said, “We should go eat too.”
With that, he grabbed Sylvia and walked away without looking back.
Hope hadn’t expected them to help, so she wasn’t bothered by their reactions.
After quickly tidying up, she went downstairs, bought bread and water for five dollar from the convenience store, and on her way back, she saw an elderly woman sitting on the ground.
The woman looked pained, tapping her

hands on her legs.
“Grandma, is your leg hurting?”
The elderly woman looked up and, seeing a young girl with delicate features and a camera crew behind her, guessed she was a celebrity recording a variety show nearby.
“Ah, when you get old, you’re no good for anything. My rheumatism flares up, and I can’t walk!”
Hope crouched down. “Can I give you a massage?”
“No, no, how can I let a celebrity massage my legs?” The old lady quickly rejected, but Hope had already grabbed her legs with both hands.
“I’m not a celebrity, just an ordinary.o

Hope joked, while her fingers pressed and rubbed at the old lady’s legs. Her movements seemed haphazard, but each press targeted specific pressure points and meridians.
“Grandma, do you know where there’s a market nearby? I need to buy some daily necessities.”
The elderly woman pointed, “If you go that way, about 500 meters away, there’s a wholesale market. But the prices are still high. You’ll need to bargain for at least a 20% discount to get the wholesale price.”
Just as the massage was coming to an end, Hope stood up. “Thank you, madam. I’ll be on my way.”
[Oh no, Hope is so disgusting! She used the old lady and left after just a few seconds of massaging her legs?]

[I knew she couldn’t be so kind. She definitely has ulterior motives!]
[She even tricked an old lady. Hope deserves nothing good!]
[At least take the old lady home. Why does Hope have no compassion at all?]
[I’ve turned against her. I used to think she was pretty, but now all these shady actions have made me sick.]
[Why does she even share a surname with the Emperor? Can’t she change her name? She’s not worthy of the surname!]
Hope’s sudden departure stunned the old lady, but she didn’t mind. Just as she was about to continue rubbing her legs, she noticed that her legs didn’t hurt anymore!

The old lady quickly jumped up and tested her legs, hopping around in surprise, her face lighting up with joy.
“How… how is it not hurting anymore?”
She looked at Hope’s retreating figure, then glanced back at her legs.
She suddenly clapped her hands. “Oh! I must have met a fairy!”
The photographer, who had been trying to capture the old lady’s reaction to being tricked, ended up filming a miraculous scene instead.
The photographer was dumbfounded. Was this old lady arranged by the production team?

Why hadn’t anyone told him about it in advance?
[What the heck? The old lady’s legs don’t hurt anymore?]
[Can someone explain what happened? How did she suddenly stand up?]
[What did Hope do just now? She was pressing randomly, but my mom has rheumatism, and when it flares up, she can’t even get out of bed! How did she do it?]
[It’s all scripted. This old lady must be an actress hired by the production team. There’s no way her pain just disappeared that quickly. Painkillers don’t even work that fast! It’s definitely fake.]
