Chapter 143: Prejudice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Sometimes, Ning Sheng felt that something was off about Lu Chu Yao’s face.
“I’ve heard before that the third young master of the Lu family in the capital doesn’t blink an eye when it comes to killing, and he has a cold and paranoid personality. He gets angry and wants to kill anyone who approaches him. But look at you now, what’s going on?” Ning Sheng asked sincerely.
Lu Chu Yao said, “Perhaps these are just prejudices against me.”
“But 1 don’t think it’s prejudice. You’re indeed very fierce,” Ning Sheng insisted.
Lu Chu Yao sighed and pinched her cheek, saying lightly, “But I’m good-looking.”
Well, that statement was true.
Everyone who had seen Lu Chu Yao’s appearance in the capital’s circles couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. At 21 years old, Lu Chu Yao was a man whom every woman sought after. However, after his disappearance for a few years, he returned with a hint of fierceness, coldness and a sense of maturity.
Indeed, most people wouldn’t dare to provoke him!
It wasn’t just because his surname was Lu, but because he was Lu Chu Yao.
“I think I’m not bad-looking either,” Ning Sheng said.
From childhood to adulthood, she had always been considered a beauty. When she was young, she was often criticized for being seductive. Her family never paid much attention to it, and the Ning family didn’t care either. However, her appearance… wasn’t similar to Ning Yao Wu or Wang Gui Lan at all.
She had a bold idea and suddenly held Lu Chu Yao’s hand.
Seeing his sweet little wife taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms, he asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve thought it through and want to reconcile with me?” There was a faint teasing tone in his words.
“Do you think 1 resemble my parents?” Ning Sheng asked seriously.
When she was young, she had never done a paternity test.
Ning Yaowu and Wang Guilan treated her, their eldest daughter, poorly. She thought her parents favored sons over daughters. However, they were always kind to Ning Yue, and later, when Ning Mu was born, her parents treated her younger siblings even better. This was a great contrast as to how they treated her – with oppression and exploitation, akin to a vampire mercilessly sucking her blood.
Lu Chu Yao contemplated for a moment, then shook his head.
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?” He held Ning Sheng’s hand tightly and asked, “Do you suspect that you’re not your parents’ biological child? 1 only looked at your information back then and didn’t investigate deeply.”
“You investigated me back then?” Ning Sheng suddenly asked.
It made sense!
A crazy woman suddenly appeared and clung to a handsome and good-looking gigolo and claimed that she wanted to be his wife. This was something that would frighten anyone, let alone Lu Chu Yao, one of the richest men in the city. He must have investigated her background afterward.
“Don’t be angry because of that,” Lu Chu Yao said.
“Do you think I’m such an unreasonable woman?” Ning Sheng replied.
Lu Chu Yao hesitated to admit it, but it did cross his mind.
However, he dared not say it. In the end, he shook his head decisively. No, she wasn’t!
“Ning Mu has run away from home. He has always been rather strong-willed, and he’s facing the college entrance examination. I don’t know how he’s doing now, and 1 can’t contact him. I’m a bit worried,” Ning Sheng spoke lightly.
Whether or not she was the Ning family’s biological child could be discussed in the future.
In any case, she wouldn’t be returning to the Ning family ever again.
But she was concerned about her younger brother, the only one who stood up for her in the entire family. She was afraid something might happen to him.
Lu Chu Yao raised an eyebrow when he heard her words. “He’s a boy who’s reaching adulthood, what’s there to worry about?”
He scoffed, typical woman.
“But my brother Ning Mu is only 17 years old, and he left home all alone,” Ning Sheng expressed her genuine concern.
Seeing Ning Sheng’s worried expression, Lu Chu Yao contemplated whether he should consider helping her find her brother. However, he didn’t really want to get involved with that family. Ning Sheng had suffered too much in the Ning household.
“Can you help me find Ning Mu?” Ning Sheng suddenly asked..
