Don't You Know?

"Oh my, isn't this the prideful Miss Lù? Why are you dressed so plain today? Is the Young Miss here to experience life?" After she finished speaking, she feigned surprise for a moment and then added sarcastically, "Oh dear me, look at me—I'd forgotten that Miss Lù's surname is no longer Lù, rather, she should be called Lu Ning now. Say, it's the same sound with a dissimilar way of writing, so why is there such a huge difference between them?"

She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a voice behind her.

"Lu Ning."

The two of them turned around and saw Lù Chuan.

When Wu Yue saw Lù Chuan, her behavior changed in an instant. "Uncle Lù, you're here too? My father even said that he would be visiting you in a couple of days."

It was a one-sided conversation, and Lù Chuan did not seem interested in speaking with her, so she decided to take the initiative and take her leave. Before she left, she gave Lu Ning a glare.

When Wu Yue turned the corner, a youthful voice called out to her.

When she turned around, she saw a child with immaculate features. Before she could react, the child said, "Fat auntie, is this yours? It dropped from your purse."

Wu Yue's expression cracked.

Fat auntie!!!

Wu Yue was so angry her entire face was flushed. However, when she saw the child's smile she was unable to utter a single word.

The child walked closer and placed the item he picked up in Wu Yue's hand.

"Fat auntie, you have to take better care of your things next time."

With that, he turned around and left.

Wu Yue's face contorted in anger.

Fat auntie?!

How am I fat?!

How am I an auntie?!

She quickly pulled out a hand mirror and took a closer look. Her face was still exquisite without any wrinkles!

That little brat! What a horrible personality!

——————

When Wu Yue left, Lu Ning turned to look at Lù Chuan. It was obvious that Lù Chuan was here for her.

There was a long pause. Then, without waiting for Lù Chuan to speak, Lu Ning took the initiative to say, "Uncle Lù."

Lù Chuan was still a little unaccustomed to it and was stunned for a moment. He took two steps forward to look at Lu Ning.

"If you're not used to it, you don't have to change it so quickly."

Lu Ning frowned at him, not understanding what he meant.

Previously, when they were father and daughter, he always gave her the cold shoulder when she called him Daddy. Yet, now that they were no longer father and daughter he was not in a hurry to make her change the way she called him.

Lu Ning did not understand, but upon hearing what Lù Chuan said in the next moment, she began to understand a little.

"Little Ning, An'an has already transferred to No.1 High School. Daddy… No, Uncle knows that your results aren't very good, but you're in your third year of high school now. No. 1 High School has high education standards, you might be able to improve your grades if you go there; you might even be able to get into a better university.

"Now that you don't have the backing of the Lù family, getting into a better university will be a very good thing for you. Do you want Uncle to ask around to get you into No. 1 High School?"

Lu Ning looked at him. For a moment, she did not know what kind of face she should be making in this current situation.

Her expression changed slowly, from shock and confusion, to one of calm.

So that's how it is. He feels guilty, isn't it? So he wants to make reparations, and then make a clean break.

Lù Chuan saw Lu Ning's eyes slowly turn cold, and he was slightly scared.

In the end, she's still quite angry. It's clear that I only wanted to help her out of my own goodwill! Does this child not know what's good for her?!

"What kind of look is that? If you're reluctant then forget it, I'm simply being concerned. You've never been close to us, so I'm just being a busybody…"

He was about to reprimand Lu Ning more when Lu Ning suddenly interrupted him.

"Uncle Lù, I've always been studying at No. 1 High School. Don't you know?"
