Chapter 180: Ignorant Half-Wit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning was already done with her work for a while.
Now, most of the customers were ordering take-out, so there were not many customers in the store; only four or five tables were occupied.
Lu Ning had Lu Jingzhi sit on the sofa and do his homework.
The store was not busy, so she went over to tutor Lu Jingzhi.
When Lu Qing came in, he sat directly opposite Lu Jingzhi.
The two of them were looking at the questions and talking with each other; neither of them paid attention to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing looked at Lu Ning, who was talking to Lu Jingzhi with a smile.
She doesn’t seem like someone who would hit someone, nor did she seem like a person who’ll cheat.
All sorts of things from the past flashed through Lu Qings mind, and it was a mess; he recalled many scenes of him talking to Lù Yue’an and Lu Ning… “Why did you look for An’an, and even wanted to hit her?”
Lu Ning stopped talking mid-sentence, and glanced up at Lu Qing.
“I hit her?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was dumbfounded for all of two seconds before she shook her head, a smile on her lips.
It was unclear whether she shook her head in denial of this matter or of Lu Qing.
However, Lu Jingzhi could clearly see the disappointment in Lu Nings eyes.
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, you don’t have to ask me anymore.
You can believe whoever you want.”
Her words simply added fuel to the fire.
Lu Qing was inexplicably irritated. It seemed to him that Lu Ning not only did not care about this matter, but she also did not care about her studies and reputation.
“Lu Ning! Stop messing around all day! People think you’re cheating because your results are usually so terrible. If you don’t work hard to climb up step by step, others will naturally suspect you when your results suddenly become good.
“If you really didn’t do it, then prove it to them instead of slandering others!”
Abruptly, Lu Ning glared at him, her eyes frigid and distant.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Lu Qing was taken aback.
The words he spoke rashly just now had not been well-thought out.
He wanted to say something, but Lu Ning no longer gave him a chance.
Lu Ning grabbed his collar and yanked him upwards.
“Watch—this is how I grabbed your precious sister that day. Not only this, I even slapped her twice because she deserved it! If she still dares to provoke me, it won’t end at that!
“Even as an adult, you can’t distinguish right from wrong, or truth from falsehood. No wonder everyone says you’re trash!
“Our parents haven’t even said anything about me, so it’s not your place to criticize me, as a brother who only knows how to preach!
“Stay away from Jingzhi in the future. I’m afraid your stupidity will infect my little brother!
“We don’t need you to accompany us to the capital tomorrow. We’ll go ourselves! So why don’t you go accompany your precious little sister? Just don’t appear in front of us in the future!”
With that, she shoved him out of the shop.
Lu Qing stood there in a daze for a long time. When he was about to turn and head back in, Lin Ci grabbed him.
“What’re you doing, still want to go back and bicker? What’s wrong with what she said? You’re an adult, yet your brain doesn’t seem to have matured the slightest.
With her hands in her pockets, she pointed her chin at Lu Jingzhi, who was by the window in the shop. “Even children are more sensible than you. Get out of here, you ignorant half-wit.
“Don’t you appear in front of Ningning ever again. If you want to find someone to annoy, go find that precious sister of yours!”
Lu Qing’s face paled after he had been admonished twice in a row.
Lin Ci rolled his eyes at him before she pushed the door open and entered the café. He stood rooted to the ground, the cold breeze finally waking him up a little.
He dragged his feet, but stopped after a step. Eventually, he turned around and crossed the road to the opposite side. He got into his car; five minutes later, he slowly drove away.
Through the window, Lu Jingzhi looked upon the car driving away and furrowed his brows slightly…
