Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lù Yue’an clenched her fists and glared indignantly at nothing in front of her.
If Lu Ning learns of the value of that necklace…
If Lu Ningfinds out, and sells the necklace…
Won’t she be on equal footing with me!?
Then, what’s the point of me putting in so much effort to obtain all of this?!
No way!
There’s definitely no way I can allow this!
I can’t let Lu Ning know the value of that necklace!
And I can’t let her sell the necklace either!
I must! I must trample Lu Ning under my feet!
Her thoughts ran vicious.
Shi Qingyue was frightened by her glare. She grabbed her arm. “An’an, don’t scare Mommy. It’s fine. Mommy will go to the police. This necklace is special, so as long as it appears it’ll definitely be found!
“So don’t worry yourself and feel guilty about it. It has nothing to do with you.”
Lù Yue’an seemed to have been brought back to her senses by her words. She turned to look at Shi Qingyue. “Really!?”
Shi Qingyue was a little surprised by her feverish gaze. She did not say anything for a moment and just looked at her.
Only then did Lt.* Yue’an seem to realize that she had lost her composure. She hurriedly restrained herself and looked at Shi Qingyue. Her voice also became a little gentler. “Really, Mommy? Can we really get it back?”
“Yes, don’t worry. It’s just a matter of time. Nobody will dare to steal our things. Moreover, once they sell it, it will definitely be found out immediately.
Mommy will have someone call the police right now, so be good and stay here.
Don’t think too much. I’ll get Auntie to make some bird’s nest for you.”
Lù Yue’an nodded obediently and sat still, watching Shi Qingyue walk out.
After the door closed, Lù Yue’an’s expression immediately warped.
It carried a hint of smugness.
This is great. If the police are involved, as long as the necklace appears, even if it was a transaction, the person holding on to the necklace will be the person who stole it!
Lu Ning, let’s see how you’re going to escape this time!
You’re about to become a thief! A filthy thief! Who will like you then!? When the time comes, who will pay attention to you or even speak nice to you? You’ll only be yelled at!
As Lù Yue’an thought about this, she felt much better, and an indelible smile appeared on her lips.
Recently, Lu Ning had been rehearsing with her classmates. Sometimes, she would not come if she did not have time; after all, she was just a little flower and did not have any lines. The class monitor did not care too much and only asked her to be there for the performance itself.
However, Lu Ning still went nearly every time. On one hand, it was to help with the positioning, on the other hand, it was to keep an eye on Lin Ci, and on another hand, it was to help buy food for everyone.
When they were busy with rehearsals, they would forget to eat. Since Lu Ning was not busy she took charge of these things, and she was also enjoying herself.
Sometimes, when Gu Chen was not busy, he would come here to watch them rehearse.
He was very free now. Gu Zi was out on a mission, and he was the only one in the infirmary. Usually, he would just treat the students’ minor injuries and pains, and no one would come to look at him anymore, so he was bored to tears. He was so free that he would come and watch.
As Lu Ning sat in the rehearsal hall and watched them rehearse, Gu Chen came in.
He sat down beside Lu Ning.
“Didn’t they rehearse this scene yesterday too? Is it not going well?”
Lu Ning nodded. “There were two lines that didn’t go well. They revised them a few times, but it didn’t fit, so they’re stuck.”
Gu Chen sighed and turned to look at Lu Ning.
“l have something for you.”
Lu Ning turned to look at him in confusion. “What?”
“Here.”
As Gu Chen spoke, he handed the item to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning opened her palm and took a look.. It was a pink diamond necklace with a clear color…
