Ch. 701..710
Chapter 701: 701 Feelings
Tan Ron and Li Li looked at each other. Li Li gestured at her and whispered in her ear, “Tiantian seems to be interested in Brother Tao, but she hasn’t confirmed her feelings yet, so we have to help her.”
“We don’t know what Big Brother’s attitude is yet. If we blindly put Tiantian together with him, wouldn’t it be very awkward if they don’t get along in the future?” Tan Rou said.
Li Li felt that if she liked him, she should chase after him boldly. Even if they separated in the end, she would not have any regrets.
“What are you guys talking about?” Tian Tian realized that they were whispering. “Are you talking about me?”
Tan Rou sat beside Tian Tian and asked her, “How do you feel about my brother? Do you have any feelings for her?”
Tian Tian hesitated for a minute before answering, “I think Brother Tao Zhi is a very good person. 1 still like him very much. It’s just that…”
“So you feel that you haven’t reached the point of love yet, right?” Tan Rou said on her behalf, “It’s okay. If you have feelings for him too, you can give it a try. I’ll be very happy when you become my sister-in-law in the future.”
Tian Tian’s face turned red. “Rourou… You… Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t want to be your sister-in-law!”
“Since Tiantian doesn’t like Big Brother Tao, then I like him. I’ll go after him now,” Li Li said.
Hearing Li Li’s words, Tian Tian’s mood dropped. “Li Li, do you like Brother Tao Zhi? Then I’ll give you my blessings.”
Li Li sat on the other side of Tian Tian and held her hand. “Brother Tao is very outstanding. He graduated from a famous school. He’s tall and handsome. His family background beats 90% of the people in the world. He’s also gentle and considerate. There will be endless cakes when you’re with him.”
Tian Tian was very tempted, but she was timid and did not dare to express her feelings for Tao Zhi in front of him. “1… I don’t like him anymore.”
Although she said that, she was very sad because she also had feelings for Tao Zhi.
Tian Tian had many older cousins in her family. Other than doing good deeds, they did everything else. None of them were as outstanding as Tao Zhi, so Tian Tian admired Tao Zhi very much. She felt that a brother like Tao Zhi was the most outstanding brother in the world.
“Let’s go down and eat.” After Tan Rou sent a message, she said to Tian Tian, “Big Brother is here too. Do you have any feelings for him? You can take this opportunity to test him.”
Tian Tian agreed. “Alright, let’s go eat first.”
During the meal, Tao Zhi was arranged to sit opposite Tian Tian. As long as Tian Tian raised her head, she would be able to see Tao Zhi’s handsome face. This made Tian Tian feel embarrassed to raise her head to pick up the food.
Tao Zhi also noticed that Tian Tian was embarrassed. He finished his meal in two or three bites. “I’ll go back first.”
Mrs. Tao called out to him, “Wait a minute, there’s still some fruit that hasn’t been served. You can leave after you finish your fruit!”
Tao Zhi let out a long sigh. “Mom, don’t make things difficult for the young lady anymore!” He left immediately.
Mrs. Tao frowned. “How can this child be so rude? We haven’t even finished eating. Why is he in such a hurry?”
Tian Tian knew very well why Tao Zhi left. He must have left because he didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable. Just as Li Li had said, Tao Zhi was a very considerate person. He would never do anything that would make girls feel awkward. Moreover, he was very clean and wouldn’t get entangled with other girls.
Perhaps he would be a very good partner. Tian Tian thought to herself.
Tan Rou kept looking at Tian Tian. As a friend, she hoped that Tian Tian could be happy. Moreover, she understood her elder brother, so she wanted to give Tian Tian a good partner. Moreover, compared to those messy people, Tan Rou hoped that Tian Tian would be her sister-in-law.
Don’t think too much into it. No matter who you are with in the future, we will always be good friends.” After the meal, Tan Rou pulled Tian Tian aside and said, “I also hope that you won’t feel pressured. If you feel pressured, I’ll think that we forced you to like my brother.”
Tian Tian shook her head gently. “Brother Tao Zhi is a good person, but 1 want to reconsider.”
The Capital was too far away from her home. If she married into the Capital, she wouldn’t be able to see her parents often.
“Even if you don’t choose my brother in the end, it won’t affect our relationship.” Tan Rou said.
“Yeah, no matter what the result is, we’ll always be good friends,” Tian Tian said..
Chapter 702: 702 Bad Friends
“What is it? You actually did such a big thing without me knowing?” Liang Lu stood up from her chair and knocked it over. “Are you still my good friends? We agreed to advance and retreat together, but in the end, you guys secretly did so many things behind my back. I’m so angry!”
Lu Qing looked at Liang Lu’s expression and couldn’t help but say, “Xu Yan and 1 don’t know much about this matter. When we found out, these three heroines had already finished the matter. The two of us only know how to start and end. We didn’t even make it to the celebration party.”
Li Li said, “Lulu, we didn’t mean to not tell you. It’s just that your school is quite far away and we don’t live together. You have evening self-study session every night. We’re worried that it will affect your rest.”
Liang Lu sat down, but she was still very unhappy. “You have to tell me next time. I can help you too.”
“Can you help them fight?” Lu Qing laughed at her.
“Do you want to try my fist?” Liang Lu raised her fist and threatened.
“I don’t want to. Liang Lu, please don’t be angry with me.” Lu Qing begged for mercy.
Liang Lu raised her eyebrows and said happily, “That’s more like it. Rourou, where’s that girl?” she asked Tan Rou.
“You mean Lan Ning? She went home,” Tan Rou said. “There’s still a lawsuit in Nanhai City that requires her cooperation. She also wants to go back and make sure her family is safe.”
“Oh, that’s good. I really hope to meet this new friend soon!” Liang Lu said expectantly.
The few of them ordered a few drinks and talked about university life as they drank. Liang Lu, who had always liked to talk, rarely spoke again.
“Lu Lu, are you unhappy?” Tan Rou sensed Liang Lu’s emotions. “Are you angry because we didn’t call you?”
“Why would 1 be angry?” Liang Lu asked with a smile.
“I was a little angry just now, but I’m not angry anymore.”
“Then why do you look so unhappy? Do you get along with your classmates at school?” Li Li asked.
Liang Lu frowned for a moment, then smiled and said, “How can I not get along well with my classmates?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl dressed like a hooligan came in front of them. She said to Liang Lu, “Liang Lu, what a coincidence. I actually met you here.”
When Liang Lu saw her, her expression changed instantly. “Zhang Xue, what are you doing here?”
Zhang Xue took out a drink and shook it a few times. “Of course I’m here to buy drinks. Are you allowed to drink here and not allow me to sit here?” Seeing that there was a seat beside him, Zhang Xue sat down beside Lu Qing.
There were six people in Tan Ron’s group, so only four people could sit at a table. Therefore, Lu Qing and Xu Yan sat at the table next to them. Zhang Xue came over and sat beside Lu Qing.
“Liang Lu, aren’t you being too unfriendly? Why didn’t you tell us that you know such a handsome guy?” Zhang Xue’s eyes were fixed on Lu Qing.
“Wouldn’t you want to introduce us?”
As she spoke, three more girls came over. They were dressed in a similar style to Zhang Xue. They all painted themselves like ghosts. Half of their hair was pink and the other half was green.
“Zhang Xue, you’re not welcome here. Please leave!” Liang Lu said angrily.
Zhang Xue ignored Liang Lu and winked at Lu Qing. “What’s your name, handsome brother? Do you have a girlfriend?”
Lu Qing sat there without saying a word. This girl’s hair color was really an eyesore. Even the Liang Lu of the past did not dye her hair rainbow. Was university so free now?
“Little brother, I’m talking to you.” Zhang Xue boldly placed her hand on Lu Qing’s body.
When Liang Lu saw this, she grabbed Zhang Xue’s hand and dragged her up. “1 told you to get lost. Didn’t you hear me? Don’t touch him, he’s not someone you can touch!”
Lu Qing was stunned. Was Liang Lu protecting him? It seemed that Liang Lu had done the same thing in high school. She would teach any girl who got close to Liang Lu a lesson. However, the situation today seemed to be different..
Chapter 703: 703 Do You Like Him?
Zhang Xue was not someone to be trifled with. She was not afraid of Liang Lu at all. Instead, she grabbed Liang Lu’s hand. The two of them were in a deadlock.
“Liang Lu, I just asked him a few questions. Do you have to react so strongly?” Zhang Xue looked straight at Liang Lu and a sly smile flashed across her eyes. “Could it be that you like him too?”
Liang Lu had liked Lu Qing before. Everyone present, except Tian Tian, knew that Liang Lu was obsessed with Lu Qing at that time. It had reached a crazy level. As long as it was a girl who got close to Lu Qing, she would be taught a lesson by Liang Lu.
However, ever since Liang Lu became obsessed with her studies, she did not do such stupid things again. Usually, when she saw Lu Qing, she would ask him questions. Over time, she and Lu Qing became good friends. Otherwise, they would not be sitting together drinking drinks now.
“I… 1 don’t like him.” Liang Lu glanced at Lu Qing and said firmly, “It’s none of your business if I like him or not. I know he will never like you!”
“That might not be the case.” Zhang Xue winked at Lu Qing. “Little brother, who do you think is prettier, Liang Lu or me?”
Lu Qing sat in his seat and pointed at Liang Lu. He said calmly, “There’s no need to compete. Liang Lu is much prettier than you.”
Liang Lu’s heart suddenly beat faster. This was the first time she had heard Lu Qing praise her for being beautiful. Even if she was not obsessed with Lu Qing now, she was still very happy to hear Lu Qing praise her.
“Tsk!” Zhang Xue let go of Liang Lu’s hand. “You’re really blind! What was so good about Liang Lu? If you knew about her family’s situation, you definitely wouldn’t think that she’s good-looking.”
Liang Lu’s eyes widened. She roared, “Zhang Xue, get lost! If you don’t leave now, I’m going to beat you up!”
Zhang Xue crossed her arms and leaned against the umbrella frame beside her. “Liang Lu, your friend probably doesn’t know about your family’s situation, right?”
“We were high school classmates,” Xu Yan suddenly said. “We know her family situation better than you do. You don’t have to say anymore.”
Lu Qing was suddenly curious. “Class monitor, how do you know about Liang Lu’s family situation?”
Liang Lu’s expression turned ugly. “Stop asking!”
Xu Yan’s expression also became very serious. “If you want to drink quietly here, sit down and drink together. If you’re here to cause trouble, please leave quickly!”
Zhang Xue sized Xu Yan up. “You’re also very handsome. If you’re not as handsome as the one beside you, and judging from his clothes, his family must be very rich.”
Lu Qing’s lips curled up. “You have good taste, but your EQis a little low. If 1 were you, I wouldn’t say this out loud.”
Liang Lu didn’t want to stay here any longer. She said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, I’m leaving first. Let’s meet again next time.”
“Don’t go!” Zhang Xue grabbed Liang Lu’s arm. “I haven’t finished speaking.
Why are you in a hurry to leave?”
Liang Lu flung her arm away. “Zhang Xue, what are you trying to do?”
“Of course I want to chat with you. You’re the daughter of a prostitute.” Zhang Xue said with a smile.’
“Pa!” Liang Lu slapped Zhang Xue’s face. The sound was so loud that even the passers-by were shocked. They could not help but stop to see what had happened.
“She’s not a prostitute!” Liang Lu was so angry that her chest heaved up and down violently. “If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
Zhang Xue covered her face. “Yes, she may not officially be a prostitute but in modern terms, she should be a prostitute!”
“She’s not, she’s not!” Liang Lu lost control of her emotions. “She’s not a prostitute, nor is she a prostitute!”
Zhang Xue’s mouth kept chattering. “Hehehe, you said that she’s not a prostitute, so why don’t you dare to let her out? If she’s not a prostitute, then who’s the person who’s bringing men home everyday? It’s so dirty. I’m so unlucky to live in the same dormitory as you.”
“She’s already dead. Can’t you let her go?” Liang Lu’s eyes were red. “She suffered so much pain when she was alive, and now she’s being humiliated like this by all of you. Do you have a conscience?”
“If she dares to do it, then she’s not afraid of being told off. I’m not the one who’s going to be a prostitute anyway, so why should I have any sympathy for her?” Zhang Xue said indifferently.
“In my opinion, those who sell their bodies for money should go to hell!”
Chapter 704: 704 Liang Lu’s Birth Mother
“Have you said enough?” Lu Qing stood up with a cold face. “The dead matter. Liang Lu’s mother is already dead. Aren’t you afraid of being haunted?”
Zhang Xue wasn’t afraid of ghosts and gods. “If that rotten woman dares to come back to me, I’ll definitely let the Taoist priest drive her soul away and make her never reincarnate!”
“Stop talking. If you say another word, I’ll beat you up. Although I never hit girls, if you still want to talk nonsense, I don’t mind breaking this rule,” Lu Qing said.
Lu Qing was very tall. When he sat down, it was hard to tell. When he stood up, he was almost 1.9 meters tall. Zhang Xue, who was 1.63 meters tall, looked like a dwarf in front of him.
Zhang Xue had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. When she saw Lu Qing, who was taller than her, she became timid. “Little brother, why are you so fierce? 1 was just joking with Liang Lu. If you don’t like it, 1 won’t say it anymore.”
“Do you think I will believe you?” Lu Qing found it funny. “But it doesn’t matter. If you dare to say anything in front of me in the future, I won’t let you off.”
Zhang Xue took her drink away. “If you don’t want me to say it, then I wouldn’t. Anyway, I’ve already said what I wanted to say. If you’re willing to be friends with this prostitute’s daughter, then you can continue to be good friends.”
She called out to her friends who had come with her. “Let’s go. I’m in a good mood today. I’ll treat everyone to hotpot!”
After Zhang Xue and the others left, Liang Lu stood there silently for a few minutes before she sat back down in her chair with a dejected expression.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, Lulu,” Li Li comforted her. “Just look at how she’s dressed. I know she’s not a decent person. She must be talking nonsense. Don’t take it to heart.”
“No, what she said is true.” Liang Lu lowered her head. This was the first time in so many years that she was in such a sorry state.
Since the first year of high school, Liang Lu had been committed to being a little gangster who no one dared to bully her. She wanted to use a hard and powerful shell to protect her weak heart. As long as she became fierce, no one would dare to provoke her again. Naturally, no one would mention her biological mother.
Liang Lu sat on a chair by the quiet lake. Tan Rou and the other girls sat with her, while the two boys remained standing.
“When I was young, my family’s financial situation was good. My parents only had one child and loved me very much. They gave me whatever I wanted.” Liang Lu said, “But when I was in the fifth grade, my father failed in his business and owed a large sum of money. In order to pay back the money, he made a very bad decision. He asked his wife to exchange her body for money to pay off the debt!”
“My mother is a gentle and kind person. Ever since she married my father, she has been a housewife. She doesn’t have any ability to work, so even if she knows that it’s wrong, she still did it for the man she calls her husband.” Liang Lu’s heart ached. “Zhang Xue’s father is one of the customers.”
“Later, my biological mother couldn’t stand such a life and chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building. After my father squandered all the money she earned, he also chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.” Liang Lu gestured with her hands.
“I was only 11 years old at that time. 1 couldn’t support myself, so I was sent to an orphanage. Later, I was adopted by my current parents.”
After Liang Lu was adopted by her adoptive parents, she lived happily for a while. However, after her adoptive parents gave birth to their own child, they did not treat her as well. Although they did not take advantage of her in life, they no longer loved her.
Liang Lu was very sad to lose her family’s love again. She decided to become rebellious. Only by becoming a bad girl would she not be hurt.
When she was in her first year of high school, she met the school hunk, Lu Qing, in school. The sunny and handsome young man left a deep impression on Liang Lu. In addition, many people liked him, so Liang Lu also let herself like Lu Qing and began to announce her liking in school.
Thinking about it carefully, Liang Lu had never officially pursued Lu Qing because she knew that Lu Qing did not like her. Moreover, with Lu Qing’s family background, it was impossible for him to be with her. Liking Lu Qing was just Liang Lu’s obsession..
Chapter 705: 705 Friends Forever
This was the first time Tan Ron heard that Liang Lu was adopted. She thought that Liang Lu’s parents did not care about her because Liang Lu was a delinquent in school. She did not expect Liang Lu to not be their biological child at all.
“Lulu, if you want to cry, you can cry on my shoulder.” Li Li comforted.
She still remembered how Liang Lu was when she first met her. At that time, Liang Lu had a hundred followers behind her. Every time she went out, it was as if she was going to cause trouble.
However, she did not expect Liang Lu to have such a sad story.
From the way Liang Lu defended her biological mother, she must have loved her mother very much. His father’s actions and his mother’s death must have had an indelible impact on the young Liang Lu.
Liang Lu, who always acted like a big sister, was now like a weak little girl. She leaned on Li Li’s shoulder and cried non-stop.
At the age of eleven, she could already remember many things. All these years, the scene of her mother being carried away by the ambulance covered in blood had been imprinted in her mind. Every time it was late at night, she would think of her mother.
The woman who loved wearing beautiful dresses ended up wearing a white dress covered with blood. In front of her young daughter, she jumped off a tall building and never woke up again.
Tan Rou quietly left her seat. There were already Li Li and Tian Tian beside Liang Lu, so she was unnecessary. Besides, she didn’t know how to comfort people, so she might as well get out and do something else.
Tan Rou quickly searched for Zhang Xue’s information. After understanding Zhang Xue’s situation, she decided to give Zhang Xue some trouble.
Xu Yan sat by the flower bed and talked about Liang Lu. “Actually, I’ve known about Liang Lu’s parents for a long time. I also know that her current parents aren’t her biological parents. Liang Lu’s biological father used to have business dealings with my father. Later, he went bankrupt. My parents once lent him a large sum of money, but unfortunately, he didn’t use it for good.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xu Yan frowned. “Liang Lu’s biological father didn’t go bankrupt because of his business. Instead, he became addicted to gambling. Later on, he didn’t return the money he earned from his wife to those debts. All the money was taken by him to gamble.”
Lu Qing felt terrible. “In the end, he lost all his money and had no way to get any more money, so he jumped off the building and committed suicide?”
Xu Yan nodded. “That’s the truth. However, Liang Lu doesn’t seem to know about her father’s addict. Now that he’s dead, we don’t have to bring this up anymore.”
“Yes.” Lu Qing didn’t want to poke Liang Lu’s wound. “1 won’t say it.”
Liang Lu cried for a long time. She cried till until the sun set. Tan Rou and the others waited for her there. No one spoke.
“I’m sorry for wasting your time. I’m the one who ruined the party today,” Liang Lu said hoarsely. “If you’re still willing to come out with me next time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Tan Rou said firmly, “Liang Lu, you have to remember one thing. We will always be you. You will always be our friend. This will never change with me!”
“And me.” Li Li said, “Although I was a little afraid of you at first, after we spent some time together, 1 realized that you’re actually a very gentle person. You’re not fierce at all. If you are still willing to be friends with us, then treat me as a friend for life. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me and I will help you deal with them.”
“Although we haven’t known each other for long, I’ve already treated you as my good friend. As long as you need my help, I’ll definitely help you!” Tian Tian said.
“Liang Lu, 1 don’t know you very well. If we didn’t come to the Capital to study together, perhaps we wouldn’t have spoken much. I don’t have many friends,” Xu Yan said.” But 1 care about every single one of them. So, let’s continue being friends!”
Finally, it was Lu Qing. He looked at Liang Lu and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, “Your school is still quite a distance away from here. It’s getting late. Let me send you back.”
Liang Lu was stunned. “Why are you sending me back?”
Lu Qing said, “It’s too dark. I’m afraid you might fall when you walk. If you fall, you won’t be able to boss us around anymore..”
Chapter 706: 706 Walking Slowly Under the Moon
Lu Qing’s suggestion was approved by everyone, so he escorted Liang Lu back. According to Liang Lu’s personality, she did not need anyone to escort her back, but she did not refuse today.
The road back was not short, about four or five kilometers, but neither of them said they wanted to take a taxi back. They slowly walked along the main road.
The moon was very bright tonight, but it was not a full moon. The curved moon hung in the sky, so much so that the stars could not be seen. The Capital city was very prosperous. Even at night, there were many cars driving on the road. Lu Qing walked outside while Liang Lu walked inside.
The atmosphere was rather depressing. Lu Qing decided to find a topic to liven things up. “I used to have some prejudice against you. I thought that you were an ignorant and incompetent female hooligan, so you shouldn’t stay in school but I heard that your grades in junior high were actually quite good. 1 think so too. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been admitted to our high school.”
Liang Lu replied, “Yes, when I was in junior high school, I always ranked in the top few of my grade. That’s why I was able to get into senior high school but in the second semester of my third year of junior high school, my adoptive parents gave birth to their own child. They turned all their attention to that child and even scolded me because of that child. At that time, I realized that their love for me was fake.”
After the middle school exams, Liang Lu’s adoptive parents became colder and colder to Liang Lu. It was at this time that Liang Lu met those people in society and was brought into the abyss step by step by them.
Fortunately, she met Tan Rou in the last year of her third year of high school. That outstanding girl reminded Liang Lu of herself. She felt that Tan Rou had suffered no less than herself. Since Tan Rou could continue to finish her studies, why couldn’t she?
She found Tan Rou and wanted to be friends with her. Tan Rou agreed to her request, but at the same time, she raised her conditions. In order to fulfill her promise with Tan Rou, Liang Lu studied day and night and finally achieved satisfactory results.
“Maybe their love for you is real. It’s just that after they have their own child, their love has shifted.” Lu Qing said, “Many people are like this. When they have a biological child, their attitude towards their adopted children is very bad.”
“I’m very unlucky to have met such a person.” Liang Lu smiled bitterly. “But I’m quite lucky. They adopted me and gave me a home. If I hadn’t met them, 1 wouldn’t even know where I would be now. Perhaps I would be working, or I could be wasting my life away or maybe I could even be dead.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Qing stopped her from continuing. “What do you mean by dead? You’re alive and well now. Don’t think about dying.”
Liang Lu was a little surprised by this. Then, she said, “Actually, I don’t even know if I really like you. At that time, the girls in school liked to say that you were the school hunk and that your family background was incredible. So, I followed suit and said that I liked you. I also didn’t let other girls like you. I guess it must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?”
This was the first time Liang Lu had told Lu Qing about this. Although she had said before that she no longer liked Lu Qing, she did not tell him the real reason. As for the statement that ‘wise men don’t fall in love with love’, it was purely a joke.
Lu Qing smiled and didn’t deny it. “Many girls in school like me because they follow the trend, but it’s rare to see someone like you. You’re a very domineering girl and you only allowed yourself to be my only pursuer. At that time, 1 was also very distressed, so every time I saw you, I didn’t never treated you nicely. Now that I think about it, I should have asked you earlier if you really liked me.”
“Maybe if you had asked me earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered you.” Liang Lu placed her hands behind her back and slowly walked forward.
“Lu Qing, Capital University is the best university in the country. There will be many outstanding girls around you. I hope you can find a girl you like and like you.”
Lu Qing did not say anything.
“If you find that girl one day, can you bring her over for me to take a look?” Liang Lu asked.
“I’m not saying that I want to deal with her and stop her from liking you. I just want to see what kind of girl can be liked by Handsome Lu.”
Lu Qing was silent for a moment. Just when Liang Lu thought that he would not answer, he said, “Liang Lu, I will bring her to you.”
Liang Lu nodded lightly. “Alright, I’ll wait for that day..”
Chapter 707: 707 Dormitory War
Lu Qing sent Liang Lu to school. Liang Lu wanted him to send her to the school gate, but he insisted on sending her back to the dormitory.
Liang Lu stood at the door of the dormitory and said to Lu Qing in a joking tone, “Handsome Lu, look around you. It’s all boyfriends sending their girlfriends home. So why did you send me home?”
Lu Qing naturally knew what Liang Lu meant by that, but he was still a little confused and could not answer Liang Lu’s question. “Just treat it as a good friend sending you back.”
Liang Lu did not say much. “It’s too late. You should go back quickly. I’ll ask you out next time. I’ll treat you to a meal then.”
“It’s not easy to get a meal from you,” Lu Qing said. “I’ll have to eat more next time.”
Liang Lu knew that Lu Qing was saying this on purpose. “Okay, okay. I’ll definitely make you so full that you can’t walk.”
After Lu Qing left, Liang Lu’s classmates walked over and asked, “Liang Lu, is that your boyfriend? Are you from our school?”
Liang Lu replied, “Not my boyfriend. He’s my friend from high school. He’s not from our school.”
The girl was very gossipy. “He’s not from our school, and he even sent you back. No matter how you think about it, your relationship must be complicated.”
Liang Lu didn’t like them gossiping about Lu Qing. “He and I are just classmates. We have nothing to do with each other. It’s getting late. I’m going back to rest.”
At this moment, a girl said, “Liang Lu, since he’s not your boyfriend, can I pursue him? Give me his contact information. 1 want to get to know him better.”
Liang Lu didn’t think that Lu Qing would like this girl. He should like a smart and capable girl like Tan Rou. Girls from a second-grade school like them were not worthy of Lu Qing.
“I don’t know if he’s willing to give you his contact information. I’ll help you ask him the next time I see him.” Liang Lu said.
The girl wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zhang Xue. “Don’t ask. Liang Lu won’t tell you. Do you know who Liang Lu went to see today?” The girls were more curious. “Who?”
“A bunch of rich people.” Zhang Xue’s family was quite rich, so she could tell that some of Liang Lu’s friends were dressed differently. “The prettiest girl should be the richest. The necklace around her neck costs at least 200,000. And the shoes worn by the boy who sent her back, a conservative estimate is 78,000.”
Liang Lu disliked Zhang Xue talking about her friends. “Zhang Xue, what they wear has nothing to do with you!”
Zhang Xue sneered. “You didn’t give us their contact information because you’re afraid that we’ll know those rich people. You want to play with them yourself and get them to give you all the benefits.”
Liang Lu’s lungs were about to explode from anger. “Zhang Xue, they are my friends, not my ATMs. I have never thought of using them to gain any benefits!”
“Who would believe you?” Zhang Xue didn’t believe Liang Lu. “What kind of daughter can your parents give birth to?”
“Zhang Xue!” Liang Lu roared.
Zhang Xue was not afraid at all. “You already slapped me this afternoon. Do you still want to slap me? If you hit me again, I’ll call the police.”
“Do you think I’m afraid that you’ll call the police?” Liang Lu couldn’t take it anymore. She rushed up and grabbed Zhang Xue’s clothes. “Zhang Xue, I’m warning you. If you dare to say anything about my parents again, I’ll make you regret it!”
“Let me tell you, as long as 1 say it, 1 will never regret it.” Zhang Xue continued, “I want to say that your mother is…”
“Zhang Xue!” Liang Lu didn’t let her say it.
“She’s going to hit her!!” The girl beside them screamed, “Call the police! No, no, quickly pull them apart!”
Liang Lu had been a female hooligan before, so her fighting skills were unquestionable. However, Zhang Xue was not easy to deal with either. Every time Liang Lu punched her, she would slap Liang Lu back.
The two of them fought in the corridor of the dormitory and broke all the flower pots beside them.
When the dorm manager heard the news, she quickly came over with a stick. “What are you doing? Fighting is not allowed in the dormitory. Hurry up and split up!”
Liang Lu and Zhang Xue were both anxious. No one was willing to let go first.
Although the dormitory auntie had brought a stick, she did not dare to lay a hand on the students. She could only call the security guards to deal with it while shouting for them to stop..
Chapter 708: 708 Never Letting You Off
Liang Lu knew very well that the counselor could not know about the fight. If the auntie called the security guard, the security guard would definitely inform the counselor. At that time, the counselor would definitely call her family. Liang Lu did not want her adoptive parents to know about this.
Zhang Xue was not as strong as Liang Lu, so she was gradually at a disadvantage. Liang Lu took the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xue and quickly ran away. Zhang Xue also chased after Liang Lu. She was not willing to be beaten for so long.
The dorm manager looked up after the call. The two girls who had been fighting had run away. She said angrily, “Which class are these two students from? Who is your counselor?”
The students around them were not stupid. They would not say anything.
Liang Lu and Zhang Xue were not to be trifled with in the class. If they offended them, they would definitely take revenge.
Especially Zhang Xue. She was the worst among the two. Last time, a girl accidentally broke her hair clip and was bullied for a long time. That girl didn’t even dare to come within three meters of Zhang Xue.
Liang Lu didn’t know where she was going. Anyway, she couldn’t go back to the dormitory tonight. She was in the same dormitory as Zhang Xue. If she went back tonight, the entire dormitory would not be peaceful. She still had class tomorrow morning, so she didn’t want to disturb the rest of the students.
After running for a while, Liang Lu slowed down. She walked aimlessly around the campus. It was such a big campus, but there was no place for her to rest.
Zhang Xue chased after her, but she did not see Liang Lu. She scolded, “You little bastard born of a prostitute. If you have the ability, come out. I’ll scratch your face so that you won’t be able to seduce men!”
Liang Lu closed her eyes and came out from behind the tree. “Zhang Xue, I really don’t want to fight you, but you’ve gone too far.”
Zhang Xue rolled her eyes. “B*tch, do you think I’m afraid of you? If your mom didn’t seduce my dad, my parents wouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”
Liang Lu said angrily, “Your parents ‘divorce has nothing to do with my mother. When they divorced, my mother was already dead. How can you blame their divorce on a dead person?”
“I don’t care. It’s because of your mother that my parents divorced. You made me a child of a single-parent family. 1 won’t let you off!” Zhang Xue’s eyes were red. “I hate you. I hate you to death!”
“I’m also a victim! No matter what, your parents are still alive, but my parents are long dead,” Liang Lu said weakly.
“Serves you right!” Zhang Xue did not feel sorry for Liang Lu at all. “They should have died long ago.”
“Zhang Xue, 1 don’t want to fight with you. If we can’t stay in the same dormitory, we’ll should go and apply to the counselor to change dormitories. I entered university because 1 wanted to study hard. I’m not here to talk to you about this,” Liang Lu said.
“No matter what, I won’t let you off. As long as I’m alive, I’ll make you suffer. You’re the daughter of a prostitute!” Zhang Xue said fiercely.
Liang Lu stood there indifferently. “She’s already dead. No matter how you scold her, she won’t be able to hear you.”
“But you’re still alive. As long as 1 can see you, 1 can continue to scold her.” Zhang Xue said.
Liang Lu was very tired. She said, “Zhang Xue, go back to the dormitory. 1 don’t want to fight with you anymore.”
“You’d better never come back. This dormitory doesn’t welcome you. Living with you is an insult to me.” After Zhang Xue finished speaking, she walked back. “You can feed the mosquitoes outside here alone!”
Liang Lu sat next to the tree root for more than ten minutes, allowing the mosquitoes to suck blood from her body. When her mind cleared up, she decided to go out and stay in a hotel for a few days.
Although her adoptive parents did not treat her very well, they were not too harsh on her living expenses. After she was admitted to university, her adoptive parents were delighted. Not only did they throw a banquet for her, but they also gave her a large sum of living expenses when she came to school.
On the second day after arriving in the Capital, Liang Lu found another part-time job, so her finances were relatively free and she could afford the hotel rent. The only thing she was worried about now was that the counselor would come over to check on her, but Liang Lu could not care less.
During the few days that Liang Lu stayed in the hotel, the counselor did not come to check on her and did not know about the fight between Liang Lu and the others. Liang Lu hoped that this matter would not continue. She was really tired..
Chapter 709: 709 Be More Concern About her
Tan Ron was playing chess with Li Li and the others when she suddenly heard Aunt Zhou say that someone was looking for her downstairs. Who would look for her in the middle of the night?
Li Li and Tian Tian followed him to the stairs. Then, the three of them saw Lu Qing sitting on the sofa in the living room.
“Lu Qing, why are you here? Didn’t 1 ask you to send Liang Lu back just now?” Tan Rou was a little confused. “Did something happen to you?”
Lu Qing frowned. He crossed his arms and pleaded, “I wanted to ask you for something.”
Li Li was the first to run down. “Handsome Lu actually has something to ask of us. How rare!”
“Li Li, let him finish.” Tan Rou said.
“Lu Qing, are you talking about Liang Lu?” asked Tian Tian.
Lu Qing nodded.
Li Li’s smile disappeared. “We’re also very sad about Liang Lu’s matter, but the dead can’t be brought back to life. We can’t save her parents, nor can I make her leave her adoptive parents.”
Lu Qing shook his head and said, “I’m not talking about her family. Her biological parents have passed away. Her adoptive parents probably won’t be able to control her in the future. There’s no need to worry too much about it. What I want to say is, can you take care of her?”
“Liang Lu is our friend,” Tan Rou replied. “I’ve put in a lot of effort for her to come to the Capital to attend university. I won’t give up on this friend so easily.”
“I know that you two are very close, but Liang Lu doesn’t like to show weakness. No matter how painful it is, she won’t say anything. I hope you can ask her out more often when you have the chance,” Lu Qing said. “I’ll reimburse all the expenses.”
Tan Rou found Lu Qing’s behavior strange. “Lu Qing, why are you doing this? It’s not likely that you like her, right?”
Lu Qing didn’t like Liang Lu. This was something that the entire school knew. Back then, in high school, all the students from Grade 10 to Grade 12 knew that the school bully Liang Lu liked Lu Qing, but he has never liked Liang Lu in return.
She did not expect Lu Qing to ask someone else to take care of Liang Lu in just a few months. It was really strange.
“I don’t mean anything else. 1 just think that Liang Lu needs more care. If you don’t think it’s good, just pretend that I didn’t come today.” Lu Qing’s expression was also very strange.
“Lu Qing, if you like her, then go and care for her yourself. 1 believe that your concern will be much more useful than ours.” Tan Rou said.
Lu Qing didn’t agree. “If 1 care about her now, she will definitely think that I’m doing this out of pity. I don’t know how 1 feel about her now. 1 feel that most of my feelings are sympathy.”
“Fine.” Tan Rou could understand what Lu Qing meant. “You should still treat her like you did before. Liang Lu is a very sensitive girl. If she finds out that you’re sympathizing with her, she probably won’t appear in front of you anymore.”
“You can take care of her more,” Li Li said. “But don’t let her find out what you’re doing. Otherwise, she might stay further and further away from you.”
“Yes, I know.” Lu Qing said a few words and was about to leave. There was a curfew in the boys ‘dormitory. He had to return to the dormitory before 11 o’clock.
Xu Yan was waiting for him at the entrance of the dormitory. “Have you sent her back to school?”
Lu Qing knew who Xu Yan was referring to. “I sent her to the dormitory and then came back.”
“I really don’t understand what you’re thinking.” Xu Yan leaned against the wall. “When you said you were going to send her back today, you really gave me a shock. I thought you liked Tan Rou.”
Lu Qing replied, “Tan Rou already has a boyfriend. If 1 harass her again, I’ll be shameless.”
“Then how do you feel about Liang Lu? Do you actually like her or is it out of sympathy?” Xu Yan asked.
Lu Qing couldn’t say it. He felt that it was impossible for him to say that he liked Liang Lu. However, he felt that it was even more impossible for him to say that he sympathized with Liang Lu.
Lu Qing was not a saint. He would sympathize with the unfortunate, but he would never send someone back to the dormitory, nor would he ask others to take care of that person.
Therefore, he had a very different feeling towards Liang Lu.
“I really like what Liang Lu said. A wise man doesn’t fall in love, but a single man will make a fortune.” Xu Yan smiled.
Lu Qing listened to Xu Yan’s words and smiled bitterly. “You’re still more relaxed. You only love to study.”
“I hope it will always be like this,” Xu Yan replied..
Chapter 710: 710 Neighbors Again
“Aiya, 1 didn’t think that Liang Lu and the hunk of the Lu family would be a couple!” Li Li held a glass of chilled fruit juice and smiled. “I thought Liang Lu was in a one-sided relationship. Now it’s a two-way relationship.”
“Liang Lu liked Lu Qing before?” Tian Tian asked curiously.
Li Li put down the cup and began to tell the story of Liang Lu pursuing Lu Qing. Tian Tian listened with great interest and wished she could bring a plate of melon seeds over to eat right now.
“But 1 don’t think Lu Qing likes Liang Lu that much.” Tian Tian said after listening to Liang Lu’s story.
“You have to like it even if you don’t like it.” Zhuang Liu walked in from outside the courtyard. “I think they’re quite compatible.”
Tan Rou rubbed the space between her eyebrows. It seemed that Zhuang Liu had not forgotten that Lu Qing used to like her.
Li Li revealed a mysterious smile. Only Tian Tian did not understand why Zhuang Liu wanted Lu Qing and Liang Lu to be together so much.
Li Li whispered a few words into her ear, and then Tian Tian understood. She covered her mouth and snickered. It turned out that people like Zhuang Liu could also be jealous.
Seeing Zhuang Liu come over, Li Li took the initiative to pull Tian Tian away. “Tian Tian, the kitchen auntie said that she’s going to make cakes today. Why don’t we go and study together? Once we learn well, we can make cakes at home.”
Tian Tian was very innocent. When she heard that the auntie was going to make a cake, she immediately followed Li Li.
Only Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were left in the small courtyard. Tan Rou poured a glass of water for Zhuang Liu and asked, “Aren’t you busy on Saturday? Why are you here?”
“I’m busy moving,” Zhuang Liu said with a smile.
Because he was talking about moving back to the old mansion, Tan Rou said, “You’re just moving back to your old home. Do you have so many things to move?”
“The old mansion already has my things. I don’t need to move my things in. I can just live there.” Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou. “Rourou, I’m your neighbor again. Aren’t you happy?”
Tan Rou was stunned. “Neighbor?”
Zhuang Liu took out a bunch of keys and pointed at the house diagonally in front of Tan Rou’s house. “I bought that house. We can continue to be neighbors in the future.”
Tan Rou really admired them. Why did they all like to show off by buying an entire house? Her parents and brother had bought this house, and Zhuang Liu had bought the one next to it. Was it so easy to buy an entire house now?
“I remember that there were residents in that house. Where did they go?” Tan Rou asked.
“They moved to another place.” Zhuang Liu said.
“Did you pay a high price to buy their house again?” Tan Rou sighed.
“If you want to check in quickly, this is the only way,” Zhuang Liu replied.
Since Zhuang Liu had already bought the house, Tan Rou couldn’t let Zhuang Liu return it. “It’s all your money anyway. If you want to buy it, then buy it.”
“It’s also your money. In the future, all my money will be yours. What do you want to buy? Just swipe my card,” Zhuang Liu said generously.
“Then how much money do you have?” Tan Rou suddenly asked.
Zhuang Liu did not know how much money he had. He took out all the bank cards from his wallet. “Take these cards. Go to the bank this afternoon and check how much money there is.”
Tan Rou looked at the colorful bank card and didn’t know what to say.
“I don’t want it. That much money is too hot to touch.” Tan Rou returned the bank card to Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu moved closer. “Then you can touch me. I’m not hot.” He even took Tan Rou’s hand and let her touch him.
Tan Rou took the opportunity to caress his face and hair, ruffling his hair until it looked like a chicken nest. “It’s such a hot day. I don’t believe you if you say that your hands aren’t scalding.”
“You know that the weather is very hot now, so why are you still sitting in the courtyard?” Zhuang Liu said. Although there was a parasol above the courtyard, the weather was very hot and it was very stuffy sitting below.
“Let’s go upstairs. My room upstairs has a sealed balcony. I can turn on the air conditioner.” Tan Rou said.
A strange smile appeared on Zhuang Liu’s face. “Are you sure you want to invite me into your room?”
Tan Rou finally realized what she had just said, but she didn’t want to admit that she had said something wrong. “There’s nothing in my room. I’m not afraid of bringing you inside..”
