The Old Master slammed the handle of the wheelchair.
“Nonsense!”
Everyone in the room was so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“Is that a joke? Is that a joke?! This matter was decided by the Lù and Lin families! Before it was decided, did Lu Ning ever see that kid from the Lin family?! And at that time, I didn’t hear you guys say this!
“The ones who made the engagement are the Lù and Lin families. Even if it isn’t Lù Yue’an, if it’s someone else who’s engaged they’ll still have to get married! Don’t you dare say such things again!”
Lù Chuan stood up and walked over. “Father, calm down, Qingyue is simply asking. Getting worked up will affect your health.”
“Ask? What’s there to ask? I don’t know if you realize, but this concerns the entire Lù family! In the future, think before you speak! Don’t bring up this matter again! Keep your mouths shut! If anyone leaks anything at the banquet after this, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
The servants standing nearby frantically nodded. “Yes, Master.”
Shi Qingyue pursed her lips and stood up as well. “I’m sorry, Father. I was stupid. I shouldn’t have asked.”
The Old Master looked at them and snorted coldly. “I understand that you have feelings for the child, but in the future, don’t think about the things you shouldn’t think about, let alone ask about them! She has entered the Lù family, so she has to abide by the Lù family’s rules. She has to do what she should do!”
After saying that, the Old Master shouted towards the door, “Old Zhu! Push me back to my room!”
Old Zhu hurried over.
Old Zhu pushed the Old Master into the elevator. At the railing on the third floor, Lù Yue’an leaned against the wall and peered down; eventually, she quietly turned around and left.
…
Old Zhu pushed the Old Master back to his room.
“Master, do you need me to open the curtains for you?”
Old Master raised his hand. “No need. Come here.”
When Old Zhu heard this, he walked over.
“Go and find out how Lu Ning was injured, and which hospital she’s in now. Get as many details as you can.”
Old Zhu was a little surprised, but he still nodded.
“Remember, don’t let anyone else notice. No matter what you find out, tell me alone.”
“Understood.”
Old Master sighed. “You’re the only one who’s able to give their best for her.”
Old Zhu looked at the Old Master, startled, and was rooted there for a long time before he slowly retreated from the room.
——————
Lu Ning was injured—after discussing amongst themselves, her classmates decided to use the weekend to visit Lu Ning at the hospital.
Lu Ning was a little surprised.
And each of them even brought a gift.
“Lu Ning, we don’t have much money, but we prepared your gifts with all our heart. Please, accept them! All of us support you and think you’re super cool, so don’t worry about what others say. We all support you. You’re awesome!”
Lu Ning was taken aback by these impassioned words.
“Thank you, all of you.”
“Hope you recover soon! Without you, we don’t dare to say anything in Teacher Huo’s class. He’s gone back to teaching faster again.”
Seeing them on the verge of tears, Lu Ning could not help but laugh.
“I’ll try my best to recuperate and get back quickly.”
They chatted and laughed. When they dispersed a little, Lu Ning even saw some unfamiliar faces.
Zheng Shaolin had packed a thick set of notes in a document bag. “This is for you, I hope it’ll be helpful.”
Lu Ning took it and smiled at him. “Thank you…”
She really could not remember his name; she only felt that he looked familiar.
The person beside her immediately cleared her doubts. “He’s Zheng Shaolin from Class 2, the number one star student in our cohort. Have you forgotten?”
Only then did Lu Ning match this face with his name.
