Chapter 91 - 91 Meeting

91 Meeting
Gu Chen and Gu Zi exchanged a fleeting glance as Gu Zi connected Lu Ning’s phone to the computer…
When Lu Ning woke up, she had been woken up by Gu Chen. Before she could ask him what time it was, the bell rang. She grabbed her bag and dashed out; it completely slipped her mind that her phone was still with Gu Zi.
Not long after she left, a notification popped up on her phone—it was a banking notification.
Gu Zi looked at it, then at Gu Chen. “Two million yuan.”
Gu Chen frowned.
Gu Zi had already checked through Lu Ning’s phone, and found out that she had indeed stayed in F Prefecture. However, she probably did not communicate with Song Wenqi through text messages or WeChat; all he found were a few calls to some unfamiliar numbers, and he could not find anything useful. And then, there was this text message.
The two of them were at a loss. Lu Ning was unwilling to divulge anything, so they could only wait and see if they would be meeting again.
——————
When Lu Ning arrived at her classroom’s entrance, she saw Huo Jinyan standing on the teacher’s podium.
“Teacher…”
Huo Jinyan glanced at her and did not say anything. He simply gestured for her to come in.
Lu Ning quickly got to her seat.
As soon as she was seated down, Lin Ci could not help but steal a few glances at her, although she did not say anything.
…
After receiving Lu Ning’s feedback last time, Huo Jinyan’s lecture had indeed become slower. He would also pause for them to take notes; as a result, his lesson was much easier to follow.
The students were rather grateful to Lu Ning. After all, she had not been intimidated and had done what they could not.
Now, they would often speak with Lu Ning about her studies, hoping to help her grades.
After class, before Lin Ci could say anything, a few girls had walked over to Lu Ning. “Lu Ning, these are the notes we took down yesterday. Do you want to have a look?”
As she spoke, she brought her notebook over.
Lu Ning looked at it. “There’s no need. Little Ci already gave me hers.”
The girl did not mind and simply put her notebook away. “Then let’s revise together after school. Lin Ci, come with us too, we can go through our textbooks and see if there’s anything we don’t understand.”
Lin Ci had wanted to refuse. However, after looking at Lu Ning, she nodded and went along with it.
She did not like mingling around with too many people. However, Lu Ning’s grades were simply dismal; she was really concerned that she would not be able to get into university. But under her supervision, she might actually study.
“Let’s go to the café where Little Ning works.”
Lin Ci suggested forthright.
Lu Ning: ?
Without waiting for her consent, everyone unanimously decided that this was a great idea.
Naturally, Lu Ning could not say anything else.
After finishing their discussion, they returned to their seats.
Lin Ci saw that something was clearly off with Lu Ning, and was about to ask her about it when the bell rang. Without giving her a chance to ask, the teacher walked in.
She could only ask after class.
However, before class ended, Lu Ning blocked her face with a textbook and fell asleep on her desk. Afraid that she would be found out by the teacher, Lin Ci tried her best to cover her.
And just like that, it was noon. When class ended, Lu Ning ran off to her part-time job. Lin Ci looked at her hurrying off and sighed helplessly.
After Lu Ning was done, she went to the infirmary to do her translation job.
During this time, she retrieved her phone and transferred the money to Auntie Hong and Old Zhu; now, her balance was empty again.
Gu Chen and Gu Zi looked at her, feeling helpless and despondent.
When will she learn to ask for help?
She’s taking everything on herself—at this rate, she’ll collapse sooner or later.
Gu Zi tried to help translate for her, but she told him off.
The both of them could only help her with simple logistical tasks, and making sure she did not go hungry.
