Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This was the first time Tan Ron heard that Liang Lu was adopted. She thought that Liang Lu’s parents did not care about her because Liang Lu was a delinquent in school. She did not expect Liang Lu to not be their biological child at all.
“Lulu, if you want to cry, you can cry on my shoulder.” Li Li comforted.
She still remembered how Liang Lu was when she first met her. At that time, Liang Lu had a hundred followers behind her. Every time she went out, it was as if she was going to cause trouble.
However, she did not expect Liang Lu to have such a sad story.
From the way Liang Lu defended her biological mother, she must have loved her mother very much. His father’s actions and his mother’s death must have had an indelible impact on the young Liang Lu.
Liang Lu, who always acted like a big sister, was now like a weak little girl. She leaned on Li Li’s shoulder and cried non-stop.
At the age of eleven, she could already remember many things. All these years, the scene of her mother being carried away by the ambulance covered in blood had been imprinted in her mind. Every time it was late at night, she would think of her mother.
The woman who loved wearing beautiful dresses ended up wearing a white dress covered with blood. In front of her young daughter, she jumped off a tall building and never woke up again.
Tan Rou quietly left her seat. There were already Li Li and Tian Tian beside Liang Lu, so she was unnecessary. Besides, she didn’t know how to comfort people, so she might as well get out and do something else.
Tan Rou quickly searched for Zhang Xue’s information. After understanding Zhang Xue’s situation, she decided to give Zhang Xue some trouble.
Xu Yan sat by the flower bed and talked about Liang Lu. “Actually, I’ve known about Liang Lu’s parents for a long time. I also know that her current parents aren’t her biological parents. Liang Lu’s biological father used to have business dealings with my father. Later, he went bankrupt. My parents once lent him a large sum of money, but unfortunately, he didn’t use it for good.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xu Yan frowned. “Liang Lu’s biological father didn’t go bankrupt because of his business. Instead, he became addicted to gambling. Later on, he didn’t return the money he earned from his wife to those debts. All the money was taken by him to gamble.”
Lu Qing felt terrible. “In the end, he lost all his money and had no way to get any more money, so he jumped off the building and committed suicide?”
Xu Yan nodded. “That’s the truth. However, Liang Lu doesn’t seem to know about her father’s addict. Now that he’s dead, we don’t have to bring this up anymore.”
“Yes.” Lu Qing didn’t want to poke Liang Lu’s wound. “1 won’t say it.”
Liang Lu cried for a long time. She cried till until the sun set. Tan Rou and the others waited for her there. No one spoke.
“I’m sorry for wasting your time. I’m the one who ruined the party today,” Liang Lu said hoarsely. “If you’re still willing to come out with me next time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Tan Rou said firmly, “Liang Lu, you have to remember one thing. We will always be you. You will always be our friend. This will never change with me!”
“And me.” Li Li said, “Although I was a little afraid of you at first, after we spent some time together, 1 realized that you’re actually a very gentle person. You’re not fierce at all. If you are still willing to be friends with us, then treat me as a friend for life. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you deal with them.”
“Although we haven’t known each other for long, I’ve already treated you as my good friend. As long as you need my help, I’ll definitely help you!” Tian Tian said.
“Liang Lu, 1 don’t know you very well. If we didn’t come to the Capital to study together, perhaps we wouldn’t have spoken much. I don’t have many friends,” Xu Yan said.” But 1 care about every single one of them. So, let’s continue being friends!”
Finally, it was Lu Qing. He looked at Liang Lu and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, “Your school is still quite a distance away from here. It’s getting late. Let me send you back.”
Liang Lu was stunned. “Why are you sending me back?”
Lu Qing said, “It’s too dark. I’m afraid you might fall when you walk. If you fall, you won’t be able to boss us around anymore..”
