LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 199 - 199: Did Lu Ting Bully You?
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Did Lu Ting Bully You?
For Master Li, what’s just one more invitation.
Lu Zhanxing felt he had guessed the truth and asked Qiao Yun, “Sister, did Master Li invite you to the party?”
Qiao Yun didn’t understand why Lu Zhanxing would suddenly ask this question and obediently nodded, “Yes.”
Before coming, Li Hanzhou, not knowing her identity, indeed wanted to take her to the charity gala for fun.
At the time, she declined.
Lu Zhanxing suddenly realized, it seemed his guess was correct.
Just…
Master Li and little sister, are they that close?
Lu Zhanxing’s sixth sense told him something was off.
No, he had to keep an eye on it.
Lu Zhanxing still didn’t know, he had perfectly missed the actual truth and, because he believed he had guessed it, felt exceptionally cheerful.
The big shots at the banquet paid so much attention to his sister, probably also because of some connection to Master Li.
His gaze fell on Qiao Yun, who was looking down and drinking milk.
Such a tiny thing, always with a stern face and sober in her ways.
The contrast was quite endearing.
Such a person indeed tends to be adored by the grandparents’ generation.
Lu Zhanxing’s doubts were answered, and he thought of yesterday’s call with his elder brother and, concerned, asked Qiao Yun, “Sister, I want to ask you about some things.”
Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids to look at him, signaling him to speak.
Lu Zhanxing weighed his words before asking, “Are you getting used to being back home?”
“It’s okay,” Qiao Yun’s attitude was indifferent.
Lu Zhanxing realized that Qiao Yun’s ‘it’s okay’ meant that to her, being home didn’t matter much, nor did leaving.
His heart sank, the attitude of Qiao Yun towards their family made him uneasy.
“Do you like mom and dad?”
“They’re very kind to me.”
Qiao Yun didn’t really understand what it meant to like someone to a certain extent.
The Lu parents were indeed good to her, but their excessive carefulness also troubled her.
“And what about our elder brother?”
Lu Zhanxing felt a bit guilty, perhaps because he too had experienced his elder brother’s educational methods.
In any case, not the kind that would make someone feel liked.
Qiao Yun was blunt, “Too loud.”
“…”
Lu Zhanxing then asked, “What about me?”
“You’re very good.”
Lu Zhanxing was elated.
He even wanted to call his elder brother right away to show off.
Haha, you’re disliked, haha, sister likes me more.
Ahem…
Lu Zhanxing dismissed the idea of kicking someone when they’re down and asked instead, “How do you get along with Tingting?”
This was what he ultimately wanted to ask.
Not a hint of anger showed on Qiao Yun’s face, her expression was calm and indifferent, “She doesn’t like me, but I don’t need her to.”
Lu Zhanxing frowned instantly.
Qiao Yun wasn’t complaining to him, she was stating a fact.
“Did Lu Ting bully you?”
“Why would you think that?”
Qiao Yun was surprised by Lu Zhanxing’s first reaction.
“Isn’t it so?” Lu Zhanxing found it strange, “She doesn’t like you, right? If she bullies you, tell me.”
Qiao Yun looked at the furrowed brows of Lu Zhanxing and felt a peculiar emotion brewing inside her.
The second brother and the elder brother were different.
The second brother trusted her.
She guessed why Lu Zhanxing had asked about the party earlier.
Although she hadn’t deliberately concealed anything, she hadn’t laid everything out either.
As she watched Lu Zhanxing deep in thought, Qiao Yun unexpectedly felt impulsive.
She kind of wanted to take the initiative to tell Lu Zhanxing.
Even though they hadn’t known each other long, she strangely felt a bit of familial warmth from Lu Zhanxing.
Perhaps it was the gift he had prepared with care when they first met.
Or maybe it was his gentle yet not overly cautious concern.
Qiao Yun made up her mind, her face suddenly serious, “I have something I need to tell you.”
“What is it?”
Seeing Qiao Yun so serious, Lu Zhanxing turned serious too.
Qiao Yun paused for a moment before she started to speak slowly.
