Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lu Ning and Huo Jinyan left the principal’s office, the sun had already set.
Lin Yi was still waiting outside.
When he saw her coming out, he quickly walked over.
“Everything all right now?”
Lu Ning nodded. “Yes, it’s over.”
Lin Yi glanced at Huo Jinyan, then at Lu Ning. “Let’s go. There’s still one lesson left.”
Lu Ning nodded and turned to leave with Lin Yi.
Huo Jinyan stood where he was and watched her leave.
There was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes.
Although this matter had been clarified, there were still many people discussing it. Some felt that clarification meant nothing, while others felt that the clarification did not necessarily mean that there was nothing else going on. There were all kinds of opinions, and the discussions raged for a few days.
Wherever Lu Ning went, she would receive a lot of attention.
However, she did not care and never said anything.
On the other hand, every time Lin Ci saw those gazes she would glare back at them.
This matter seemed to be over, but at the same time, it did not seem to be so.
Especially with Huo Jinyan’s resignation also being mentioned at this time—it was as though he had resigned due to this matter.
Even though it had been a long time since Huo Jinyan proposed to resign, no one listened and simply felt that it was the result of this issue.
However, no matter how popular this topic was, it was soon to be the school’s anniversary party, so the discussions eventually decreased. Now, the most lively event was the school’s anniversary party.
The activities in the school began at noon.
Every class had its own project. Lu Nings Class 9 had decorated their classroom into a beverage cafe.
She had come early to prepare. When Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi came with Lu Jingzhi and Lu Bai, Lu Ning was helping out at the back.
Lin Ci led them in to their tables.
Wearing a small apron, she graciously led them to a table for four.
“Uncle, Auntie, would you like something to drink?”
Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci looked at her and smiled. They took the menu she handed to them and looked at it. “We’ll both have pearl milk tea.” “Okay. Jingzhi, how about you?”
Lin Ci looked at him.
Lu Jingzhi looked around for a long time, but could not find Lu Ning.
“Sister Ci, where did my sister go?”
Lin Ci pointed to the area covered by a curtain at the back.
“Ningning created a specialty lemon-kumquat drink Do you want to try it?”
She looked at Lu Jingzhi with a smile.
Lu Bai looked at her. “Okay, I’ll get this.”
Lin Ci looked at Lu Bai in a daze and immediately smiled happily. “Okay, Brother.’
Then, she turned around and left.
Lu Jingzhi: ???
“But I haven’t ordered yet.”
Lu Bai looked at him with a smile. “That big sister will get it for you.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
The four of them were seated by the window, and the sounds of people talking could be heard from downstairs. There were many small stalls below and it was very lively.
Lu Ning came out from the back with four drinks and walked over.
“Please enjoy.”
She placed the items they ordered in front of everyone.
The four of them looked at her and could not help but laugh.
Lu Bai leaned back in his chair and said coyly, “Sweetie, you really look the part. ”
Lu Ning smiled and leaned closer to look at Lu Jingzhi. “There’s a class running a quiz stall downstairs. I’ll bring you there when I’m done.”
Lu Jingzhi immediately nodded. “Okaym !’
Lu Ning turned around, and left.
Shen Yunci looked towards Lu Bai.
“Son, have you looked at the houses which Mommy gave you? Pick one, and we can move there.’
Lu Bai looked at her and raised his eyebrows. “Why are you in such a hurry to move?”
Shen Yunci was silent for a moment.
Lu Zhi quickly added, “Our house is too small now, it’ll be more convenient to get a bigger house.. Coincidentally, didn’t Lu Ning win a lot of prize money recently?”
