59 Shame on You
Lin Ci turned back to Lu Ning, and looked at her gleefully.
“I never thought you’d have such a sinister side.”
Lu Ning looked at her and arched her brows.
Lin Ci could not help but laugh even more merrily.
However, after she laughed Lin Ci realized something. Lu Ning must have known something if she said that.
She never would’ve said such things to Lù Yue’an for no good reason.
So this matter must be related to Lù Yue’an.
In fact, Lin Ci had suspected it at the beginning, but without any hard evidence she did not do anything.
Now that she knew Lù Yue’an was connected, they could trail her to find out who the real culprit was.
Lu Ning tilted her head and closed her eyelids; she had no idea Lin Ci was thinking so much.
…
After school, Lu Ning took her time to pack her things while Lin Ci watched from behind.
“Feeling okay? Want to go to the hospital?”
“There’s no need. I still have to go to the café.”
Lin Ci glanced at the time. “When?”
“Six o’clock.”
“Uh… Little Ning, you’re going to be late.”
Lu Ning was shocked. “Huh?!”
She spun her head to look at Lin Ci’s phone. It was already 5:50 p.m.
“The teacher took a while to go through the test. Did you forget?”
She was in a daze and did not notice it at all.
“I didn’t realize!”
After frantically keeping her things, Lu Ning dragged Lin Ci along and ran.
However, as they ran out of the school building, the two people standing at the gate gave Lin Ci pause.
She tugged at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning raised her head and looked over.
Lù Yue’an was talking to someone and wiping away her tears; and the person standing opposite her, listening to her sobbing, was none other than Lu Qing.
As if sensing Lu Ning’s arrival, Lù Yue’an glanced over, then said a few more words before turning around and getting into a car.
Old Zhu saw Lu Ning standing not far away. The two of them looked at each other; they did not greet each other, but they understood.
Lu Ning did not plan to talk to Lu Qing; she was in a hurry to get to her part-time job.
However, when she passed by Lu Qing he grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop.
Lu Ning’s headache, which had finally abated, was about to relapse.
“An’an isn’t that kind of person. You’ve misunderstood her, you don’t understand her…”
Lu Ning could not be bothered to listen to him defending Lù Yue’an, so she shook off his hand.
Lin Ci looked at him and interrupted, “This your big brother?”
Lu Ning affirmed it quietly, rubbing her wrist.
Lin Ci had seen Lu Zhi before and could tell from his appearance.
Lu Qing looked a lot like Lu Zhi.
Lin Ci gave Lu Ning a pat. “Go ahead. I’ll take care of this for you.”
Lu Ning nodded and briefly flashed her a smile; she turned and ran across the road.
Lu Qing obviously wanted to say something and stepped forward to chase after her, but Lin Ci stopped him.
“Hey!”
Lu Qing had wanted to ignore her, but the next moment, Lin Ci’s reprimand made him stop in his tracks.
“Shame on you!”
Lin Ci did not mince words with him.
Lu Qing turned towards her, clearly displeased.
“What did you say?”
Lin Ci glared back at him. “I said you’re shameless. What? You think you can lecture our Little Ning just because you’re her big brother?
“Who do you think you are? You’re just a big brother she’s never met before. What right do you have to lecture her like an elder?
“Have you ever spared a thought for her? When she was unhappy in the past, I never saw you, her elder brother, taking care of her. Yet now you want to act like an elder brother? Who’d want to see you?”
