Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 22:

Chapter 22: Lu Ning Is Actually a Hidden Big Shot

Lu Ning lay in his arms, looking dazed and silly.

Ji Chiqian lowered his head and could only see her smooth forehead. Her damp hair fell between them, the water spreading, making their clothes a little see-through.

His throat moved slightly as he let her go. “The clothes are new and haven’t been worn before. As for the shoes, make do with them for today.”

Lu Ning saw the clothes he placed at the entrance and blushed. “Thank you.”

Ji Chiqian saw her defenseless look and couldn’t help but nag, “Don’t open the door so casually at night in the future.”

“Because I knew the one knocking would definitely be you.”

Her gaze was firm and calm.

Ji Chiqian met her eyes and quickly looked away, awkwardly saying, “Remember to lock the door.”

Standing at the doorway, Lu Ning’s lips curved up slightly. She turned to look at the unfamiliar room behind her. She was about to start a new life.

Lying on the bed charging her phone, she found dozens of missed calls, almost all from her Second Brother.

There was also one from Sixth Brother, but it only rang three times before hanging up.

She opened WeChat and saw the messages from her Second Brother. [Ning Ning, where exactly are you? Stop being stubborn, okay? Come back, I’ll make your Sixth Brother apologize to you!]

[Ning Ning, you should know that if you’re in A City, you can’t hide for long. If Big Brother finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable.]

[Ning Ning, we’re a family. Can’t you really forgive these small conflicts?]

Reading these words, Lu Ning’s gaze turned a little colder.

Not even a little bit could be forgiven.

The next day at school.

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian took a taxi to school. She glanced at him. “I’ll head to the classroom first.”

Ji Chiqian watched her walk safely into the school before retracting his gaze.

At that moment, a luxury car drove by. Gu Zifeng leaned out. “Last night, the Lu family went crazy looking for her. Unfortunately for them, they ran into us, or Lu Ning wouldn’t have been able to hide or escape.”

The Lu family wasn’t to be underestimated either.

Ji Chiqian pressed his thin lips together, seemingly lost in thought.

On the other side, Lu Ning went straight to the classroom.

But as soon as she reached the door, someone screamed, “Lu Ning is here! She’s the Legendary Player who pulled off a Twelve-Strike Combo in yesterday’s match!”

“Oh my god, what’s her relationship with the rumored King? I’m so curious!”

“Idol, can we take a photo together?”

Lu Ning didn’t expect so many people. She nodded shyly. “Okay.”

In an instant, many people surrounded her, some even asking for her autograph.

The classroom entrance was bustling, packed with layers of people inside and out.

Qin Xiang also arrived outside the classroom, seeing Lu Ning being surrounded like a star, and her heart filled with jealousy.

She had over a hundred thousand fans online, much more famous than Lu Ning, yet these ignorant fools only cared about her!

Unable to stand it, Qin Xiang stepped forward.

Pretending to be concerned, Qin Xiang said, “Ning Ning, you didn’t come home last night. Where did you go? Second Brother is so worried about you. Even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t joke about your own safety.”

Lu Ning knew this white lotus would definitely stir up trouble.

Little follower number one immediately echoed, “Qin Xiang, Lu Ning is just an ungrateful wolf. She thinks winning the match gives her the right to throw a tantrum and run away from home.”

Little follower number two rolled her eyes. “I think Lu Ning is probably dating the school doctor and living together already. So young yet already seducing men.”

Lu Ning lifted her eyelids. “No wonder people always say your mouths stink. Today I finally see it firsthand.”

Qin Xiang caught something from the corner of her eye and quickly added, “Ning Ning, I’m so envious of you having family who care so much about you. Yet you’re still acting so spoiled. That’s really wrong.”

“Are we close? Stop pretending. No one here is watching your drama. Aren’t you tired?”

“Lu Ning, how can you say that? Qin Xiang stayed up worrying about you all night. You’re clearly in the wrong, and yet no one can say anything?”

At that moment, Lu Liu walked over, his expression complicated as he looked at Lu Ning.

He hadn’t needed to send Qin Xiang to school today, but for some reason, he still came.

After all, he knew Lu Ning would definitely come to school today.

Last night, he couldn’t sleep at all.

He had actually been forced into a personal safety injunction by her. What the hell was that?

Lu Ning wasn’t surprised to see Lu Liu. “Isn’t Qin Xiang often staying out all night with you guys?”

Qin Xiang’s eyes turned red with grievance. “Ning Ning, how can you say that?”

“Lu Ning, stop talking nonsense. Qin Xiang is my Real Sister! Apologize to her right now!”

Lu Ning’s face remained cold. “She started spouting nonsense first. I learned all this from her.”

Qin Xiang’s voice carried a sob. “I… I didn’t mean it that way. You misunderstood.”

Lu Liu, who had been trying to control his temper, couldn’t hold it anymore. “Lu Ning, look at what you’ve become. You were with the school doctor last night, weren’t you? That’s the truth!”

Lu Ning quietly looked at him, her gaze calm and unwavering.

Lu Liu regretted his words the moment they came out, but with so many people watching, he didn’t explain further.

Lu Ning found it laughable. “That has nothing to do with you.”

She turned and walked toward the classroom.

“Stop right there. What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? You’re really growing wings now, just because you won a repechage match? Look how arrogant you’ve become.”

Lu Ning sneered and didn’t even look back.

She sat at her seat, completely ignoring the people outside.

Lu Liu looked at Lu Ning’s indifferent appearance, a fire burning in his chest.

But he didn’t dare do anything excessive. After all, he was still under the personal safety injunction and shouldn’t even be at school.

Qin Xiang, seeing this, deliberately said, “Sixth Brother, it’s all my fault for asking Ning Ning about it, upsetting her. But I was just worried she might do something foolish out of anger.”

“I know, you were just thinking of her, but she doesn’t appreciate it.”

Lu Liu was annoyed. “Now Lu Ning has such a terrible temper, she doesn’t give anyone face, like she’s a different person. What does she want us to do to satisfy her?”

A trace of mockery flashed in Qin Xiang’s eyes. Lu Ning had started keeping her distance long ago, and now he finally noticed? This was good for her.

She changed the subject. “About that school doctor… what do you plan to do, Sixth Brother?”

“Of course, make that man pay the price!”

Lu Liu went straight to the principal’s office. This matter had to be settled.

Seeing her goal achieved, Qin Xiang finally returned to the classroom.

As she passed Lu Ning, she whispered, “Sixth Brother went to see the principal.”

Lu Ning’s expression changed. As expected, she had brought trouble to Ji Chiqian.

She stood up, but the English teacher walked in. “Class is starting.”

Lu Ning had to sit down again.

Throughout the class, she was distracted.

Finally, when the class ended, Lu Ning went out and called Ji Chiqian, feeling a bit worried.

Ji Chiqian answered quickly, his voice calm. “What’s wrong?”

“My Sixth Brother went to see the principal. You might be in trouble. But don’t worry, I’ll explain everything.”

“Child, you don’t need to handle adult matters.”

The man’s tone was firm, even a bit arrogant.

Lu Ning almost thought she heard wrong. After all, this man was usually quiet and cold, the reserved type.

But somehow, she trusted his words.

After hanging up, Lu Ning returned to her seat and focused on her revision.

There was just over a month left until the college entrance exam, and she was close to freedom.

After school, Lu Ning packed her bag and planned to go to the infirmary.

But at the classroom door, she saw her Second Brother, Lu Nanfeng, holding an enormous teddy bear.

Lu Ning stopped walking.

Lu Nanfeng walked up to her. “Ning Ning, you did great in the repechage. I prepared a gift for you. Congratulations, and I look forward to your performance in the finals.”

Finals?
