99 Lu Yan’s Matter

“Why did Lu Yan change so much?”

Lin Yin understood that Lu Ming was Lu Yan’s uncle after all. It was not convenient for him to talk to her about something.

“Who would know Lu Yan better?”

Lin Yin suddenly thought of Gong Ze. She had heard Lu Yan mention that she grew up with Gong Ze and they seemed to have a good relationship in the past.

Lin Yin had a plan in her heart. It seemed like she might find out about Lu Yan from Gong Ze.

“Looks like I need to find time to talk to Gong Ze.”

The next day, when she arrived at West Axis, Lin Yin found Gong Ze, who was playing basketball on the field alone during class.

“Boss.” Zhou Ling winked at Gong Ze. He had almost been beaten up by Gong Ze for the school belle selection last time. He still did not know what are Gong Ze’s thoughts about Lin Yin.

When Gong Ze saw Lin Yin, he handed the basketball to his lackey behind him and walked towards her.

“What’s the matter?” Gong Ze didn’t dare to look at Lin Yin and looked away shyly.

“Is it convenient? I want to talk to you.” Lin Yin glanced at the bench not far away. Gong Ze nodded and walked over with her.

“Were you and Lu Yan good in the past?” Lin Yin sat on the bench and asked the uneasy young man beside her.

Hearing Lin Yin’s words, Gong Ze’s eyes darkened.

“Yes, we were okay when we were young. After high school, she became distant.”

As Lin Yin had guessed, Lu Yan’s change did happen in the past few years of high school.

“Is there a specific reason?” Lin Yin wanted to know if Lu Yan’s change was related to Gong Ze.

“It’s nothing. After she entered high school, she always wore heavy makeup and didn’t talk to me much. She even deliberately made trouble for me a few times. When she saw me, it was as if she saw an enemy. I couldn’t be bothered to lower myself to her level. Gradually, our relationship became a little distant.”

Gong Ze recalled what had happened in the past and continued to say to Lin Yin, “Lu Yan was even crazier before she met you. She fought, skipped class, and insulted the teacher. What she did was even more out of line than me.”

Lin Yin didn’t know what Lu Yan was like before, but now, she was sure that Lu Yan was still a very kind girl.

“Sigh, it’s actually not that complicated.” Gong Ze sighed and said seriously, “No matter what she becomes, in my heart, she’s still that little girl who only knows how to follow me all day.”

Lin Yin glanced at Gong Ze beside her and suddenly realized that this big boy who looked like he was not to be trifled with was actually very meticulous.

“Did Lu Yan have any other friends she played with in the past?”

Gong Ze shook his head. “I don’t think she has any friends. After all, there aren’t many families that are comparable to the Lu Family. I can get to know her because my mother and Lu Yan’s mother have a good relationship.”

“But.” Gong Ze suddenly thought of something. “She still has brothers and sisters. In the past, when we were in the Lu Family’s old residence, everyone always played together.”

Lin Yin’s eyes lit up as she recalled Lu Yan’s words. “Cousins?”

“Yes, the eldest son’s children are twins. They’re only a year older than Lu Yan.” Gong Ze added, “The brother is overseas now, and the sister is in a dance academy. They shouldn’t have much contact with Lu Yan.”

Gong Ze noticed Lin Yin’s serious expression and asked worriedly, “Is it Lu Yan?”

Lin Yin shook her head. “I heard from Lu Yan’s uncle that she wasn’t like this in the past, so I wanted to know if something happened to change Lu Yan’s personality.”

“Little Uncle?” Gong Ze widened his eyes in surprise. “Are you talking about Lu Ming?”

Lin Yin nodded. “You two should know each other, right?”

“I do know her, but Lu Yan’s uncle is simply my childhood trauma.”

When Gong Ze heard Lu Ming’s name, he felt a little nervous. “You’d better stay away from him. In the business world, the legends about him are really scary and he usually has a straight face. I’m afraid of him when I see him. I’ve developed this instinctive reaction since I was young.”

“A straight face?” Lin Yin didn’t think so. At least she had seen Lu Ming’s smiling face before. Although it wasn’t obvious, it wasn’t scary.

“Aren’t you the school bully? There’s people you’re afraid of?” Lin Yin teased him.

“He’s not a student. Not to mention me, even my father is a little afraid of him.” Gong Ze had heard about Lu Ming’s methods from his father. Whoever became enemies with Lu Ming was equivalent to asking for death.

“Lin Yin, you…” Gong Ze was a little hesitant. When he inadvertently saw Lin Yin’s clean and bright face, his heart raced.
