105 Isn’t It the Lu Family?
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
From the sofa, Shen Yunci craned her head and looked over. “You really drank too much juice today, Little Darling. Come here. Daddy will cut some fruits for you.”
“Okay.”
Lu Jingzhi obediently walked over and sat quietly next to Shen Yunci.
Lu Qing looked at Lu Jingzhi’s behavior and still found it unusual. He turned around to look at his bedroom, but his gaze also fell upon Lu Ning’s bedroom.
“…”
It seemed to have started right after he called Lu Ning for breakfast this morning. Could something have happened?
Lu Qing walked towards the bedroom.
When he got closer, he placed his hand on the doorknob, but it would not open.
Locked from the inside?
Lu Qing could not help but laugh; he felt that he might have really been thinking too much.
Lu Jingzhi might really be behaving like that only because he wanted juice.
The door was locked, so there must be someone inside.
Lu Qing did not dwell too much on it and returned to his room.
Lu Jingzhi, who was listening to his sounds, silently heaved a sigh of relief.
After cutting the fruits, Lu Zhi emerged from the kitchen and could not help but look towards Lu Ning’s bedroom.
“Do you want me to call Little Ning? It’s almost noon.”
Lu Jingzhi’s back stiffened again immediately.
Shen Yunci glanced at him. “Don’t, she’s probably exhausted. Let’s take a look in the afternoon; if she still isn’t up by then, we’ll wake her up.”
Lu Zhi nodded, and Lu Jingzhi could not help but feel relieved.
Shen Yunci smiled and rubbed Lu Jingzhi’s head. “Come Jingzhi, have some fruit.”
Lu Jingzhi obediently took some fruit and ate it.
At the same time, the doorbell rang.
…
Lin Ci had been unable to get through to Lu Ning since this morning.
She had a bad feeling. After calling a lot of times, nobody picked up, so she dug up the new address Lu Ning had given her and went right over.
It was an old neighborhood, and the outer walls looked run down and dirty.
Lin Ci knew that Lu Ning’s family situation was not too good, but she did not expect it to be this bad.
Moreover, this place was quite a distance away. She did not have the chauffeur send her here, and instead took the bus herself.
Furthermore, it was her first time here and she felt that it would be rude to arrive empty-handed, so she brought some gifts. They were a little heavy, so after walking for a while she had to stop to rest every now and then.
Every time she rested she would call Lu Ning, but, again, no one picked up.
Finally, she arrived. Looking at the neighborhood in front of her, Lin Ci fell silent.
Previously, at the Lù family, she was the Young Mistress and lived in a manor. But now…
Lin Ci did not know if she could praise this place with a straight face.
She was standing at the entrance of the neighborhood and looking in. Three aunties walked over and flanked her from both sides.
Seeing that she did not move, they approached her and asked heartily, “Miss, are you looking for someone, or are you staying here?”
“I don’t think she lives here. I haven’t seen you before, have I?”
Lin Ci turned to look at them and nodded politely. “Auntie, I’m looking for someone.”
The three aunties were very affable. “Looking for someone? Looking for whom? Tell me, I know everyone here.”
While she spoke, she looked at her attire.
“This girl’s clothing is really stylish and pretty, unlike our girl who doesn’t go out all day and doesn’t even know how to dress herself up. It’s so annoying.”
At some point, they even started chatting among themselves.
Lin Ci stood to the side, not knowing what to do with herself.
“Alright, alright. The little girl’s still here, let’s cut the chit-chat.
“Little girl, who are you looking for?”
Lin Ci then said, “I’m looking for Building 3, Unit 1, Room 203.”
“Isn’t 203 the Lu family? You’re looking for Lu Ning, right? You must be her classmate.”
Lin Ci nodded, and wriggled her fingers that were struggling to hold on…
