252 252 Stalker
Lu Qing was waiting for Tan Rou to change her mind, but even when the bell rang, Tan Rou still had no intention of relenting. He could only return to his seat dejectedly.
Halfway through the class, Tan Rou received a small note. She opened it and saw that it was from Lu Qing. He said that after class, he would meet her in the woods on the right side of the teaching building. He had something to talk to her about.
After reading it, Tan Rou tore the note into pieces and rolled it into a ball. She did not reply to him.
Lu Qing watched Tan Rou’s every move. He really couldn’t figure out Tan Rou’s attitude. A few days ago, she was still treating her grandfather. Why did she become so cold the moment they returned to school? Could it be that she was really treating her grandfather for money?
Lu Qing was not a narcissistic person. He did not think that Tan Rou had a crush on him because she had never looked him in the eyes.
If it wasn’t for herself or money, then why did Tan Rou do all this?
Could it be…
Lu Qing turned to Tan Jing. If Tan Rou didn’t treat his grandfather this time, the Lu family would probably accept the doctor that Tan Jing had brought over. Tan Rou’s treatment had allowed his grandfather to recover, so there was naturally no need for Tan Jing’s doctor.
Could it be because of Tan Jing?
Lu Qing didn’t listen to a single word during the class. His heart was a mess. An unknown emotion lingered in his heart and couldn’t be dispelled for a long time.
“I’m going out for a while.” Tan Rou said.
Li Li didn’t ask her where she was going. Tan Rou always had her own things to do. She was a little mysterious and a little powerful.
When Lu Qing saw her leave, he immediately left his seat and followed her.
The woods on the west side of the teaching building were very dense. Couples often went on dates here. The visibility wasn’t the best, and it was easy to hide.
“If you have anything to ask, just ask.” Tan Rou leaned against a tree. “I’m in a hurry.”
Lu Qing had a complicated look on his face. He looked slightly sad. “Tan Rou, did you really treat my grandfather because of money?”
Tan Rou answered him directly, “If it’s not for money, then what is it for? For fun?”
“Then why did you say that you’ll give me a 20% discount?” Lu Qing continued asking.
“Because we are classmates.” Tan Rou said,
“It’s not just you. There’s also Li Li and the others. If they get sick and come to me for treatment, I’ll give them a 20% discount.” Other than Tan Jing and her lackeys, if those guys were sick, she would double the fees.
“Is that really the case?” Lu Qing looked extremely hurt.
Tan Rou was not a loving person. She only helped Lu Qing because she didn’t want Tan Jing to snatch this opportunity. As for the 20% discount, it was just an excuse. Even if she did not take a single cent, she still wouldn’t allow Tan Jing the chance to get close to Old Master Lu.
“It’s the truth. I don’t want to lie to you, either. The truth is that I treated your grandfather for money. If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”
“I understand.” Lu Qing smiled bitterly.
“Thank you for treating my grandfather. You don’t have to give me a 20% discount in the future. Just charge me the original price.” With that, he left the woods without looking back.
Tan Rou thought that it would be better to charge at the original price. She could earn even more then.
“Lu Qing, why are you here too?” Tan Jing followed Tan Rou when she saw Tan Rou leaving the classroom. She didn’t expect there to be so many trees here. She didn’t find Tan Rou for a while, but she saw Lu Qing coming out from the woods.
Lu Qing’s mind was in a mess. When he saw Tan Jing, he subconsciously thought that Tan Jing had followed him there. “You followed me here?”
Tan Jing felt wronged. She was here to follow Tan Rou, not Lu Qing. She did not know that Lu Qing was here. “No, I didn’t… I wasn’t following you!”
Lu Qing’s eyes darkened, and his face was ashen. He looked furious. “Go away! Did you really think that I have no idea of what you’re trying to do?! Don’t follow me anymore, or I’ll make you regret it!”
Tan Jing was so scared that her palms were sweating. Lu Qing always looked sunny and cheerful, but he was actually a ruthless person. Otherwise, he would not have stabilized the Lu family for such a long time after Old Master Lu fell ill.
Lu Qing quickly left the woods as if something was chasing after him.
“Are you a stalker?” Tan Rou walked out with a smile. “Do you like to follow people that much?”
Tan Jing’s face darkened when she saw Tan Rou. “Why would I follow you?”
Tan Rou pursed her lips. “Were you following me? Lu Qing was the one who said that you followed him, okay? Don’t be so narcissistic.”
“You!” Tan Jing was furious.
“What a perverted hobby. Why do you have to be a stalker?” Tan Rou said disdainfully. After saying that, she quickly left the woods, not giving Tan Jing a chance to react.
Tan Jing was about to explode from anger. “Ahhhhhh!!”
The poor little grass was on the verge of death from her stomping.
