99 Can’t Hold a Candle

“I earned the…” After a pause, she added, “I asked the boss for an advance.”

Lu Zhi looked at her, his throat scratchy, not knowing what to say.

When he sent her to the hospital, he did not think too much about it. Shen Yunci had always stayed in a luxurious single ward; however, he did not expect Lu Ning to be so sensible as to directly deposit the hospitalization fees in advance.

It did not matter much to Lu Ning. On the other hand, they felt that they had let her down; she had suffered so much ever since she came…

Shen Yunci’s heart twinged. “Daddy and Mommy are rich. Buy something for yourself with the money you earned, don’t always just think about us.”

Lu Ning did not say anything and simply changed the topic. “Mom, let’s not stand around here, why don’t we go home?”

Shen Yunci did not continue the topic and nodded. “Okay.”

After they returned home, Lu Ning helped Shen Yunci pack up and was about to head back to school.

Shen Yunci hurriedly stopped her. “Wait, have your brother send you; he drove here today.”

Lu Ning glanced at Lu Qing. Lu Qing did not object, and even picked up his car keys.

Lu Ning was unwilling, but she did not say it out loud; it could be considered tacit agreement on her part.

The two of them headed downstairs together. Lu Ning looked at the black Volkswagen there and realized that it was actually Lu Qing’s car; she had been wondering who it belonged to and why it was parked here.

“Get in.”

With that, Lu Qing opened the door and got into the driver’s seat.

Lu Ning walked over, opened the door, and sat in the backseat.

They drove in silence all the way to the school gate.

Lu Ning was still wearing Lu Qing’s coat. Before getting out of the car, she took it off and placed it in the backseat for him; she even paused for a moment before closing the car door.

“Thanks.”

Then came the sound of the door closing. Lu Qing watched as she walked into the school, then turned to look at the coat on the back seat and sighed quietly.

All of these were witnessed by Lù Yue’an, who had just reached the entrance of the school building.

She watched as the familiar car at the school gate gradually drove away. Then, as she turned around she saw Lu Ning walking up the stairs; she silently clenched her fists.

Humans were very strange at times—when they could not overcome their desires, they would choose to submit to them. However, after submitting, they would reminisce and pine for the life they had before they submitted to their desires; they would want to have it all for themselves.

“An’an, that seems to be Lu Ning’s family car.”

“Commoners—they definitely can’t hold a candle to An’an’s family.”

“That’s right, Lu Ning’s really shameless; she even had someone drive such a car over to show off. Has she never sat in a good car before, or does she think we don’t know anything about cars?”

“Exactly! What’s so special about this car? She’s really too much; ever since she fell from grace she treats every piece of trash like some kind of treasure.”

“Indeed…”

They still wanted to say more, but Lù Yue’an shrugged their hands off from her arm with a displeased expression, spun around, and strode into the school building.

The few of them were a little startled. When they came to, they realized that they had said something they should not have.

That car Lu Ning was in, didn’t Lù Yue’an sit in it before? In that case, what we said was the same as saying that Lu Yue’an was worthless in the past…

They regretted it, but it was too late; they could not take back their words.

——————

Lu Ning’s schedule was still the same as before, but she had to be more cautious now that Shen Yunci was back. Lu Jingzhi would cover up for her sometimes, but it was best to restrain herself for the time being so that they would not find out and worry.

When Lu Ning sneaked out tonight, she got into the car and told Song Wenqi.

“I’ll take a break next week.”

Song Wenqi craned his head to look at her. Coincidentally, she was looking over, and he could tell that she was fatigued.
