Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 27:

Chapter 27: She Didn’t Care About Second Brother’s Reward

Lu Ning thought of that campus heartthrob, Gu Yan, who had transferred from Yunjing.

He was one of the rich young masters from Forty-Nine City, and it seemed he had caused trouble at his former school and came here to lay low.

That young master was always flamboyant, driving luxury cars, wearing designer brands, and he also loved gaming.

In her previous life, because Qin Xiang replaced her in the championship, Gu Yan pursued Qin Xiang, and the two even got together.

Lu Ning smiled, casually stuffed the love letters into her desk without even opening them.

She didn’t even mention the matter of exchanging contact details.

Qin Xiang couldn’t help but feel sour. “Sister Ning Ning, why don’t you at least open them and take a look?”

“It’s not like this is the first time I’ve received one.”

Back in elementary school, when her parents were still alive and Qin Xiang hadn’t yet appeared in her life, she had received love letters.

“….”

Qin Xiang felt suffocated inside. What was there to be proud of?

Her eyes were clouded with gloom.

Wasn’t Lu Ning already pua’d by her into being a little quail? Why had she changed so much?

Could it be that this woman actually wanted to steal Gu Yan too?

After school, Lu Ning packed her bag and left directly.

Qin Xiang lingered for a long time, then went to Lu Ning’s desk and took all the love letters.

Lu Ning headed straight to the infirmary.

She wanted to give Ji Chiqian a surprise, but he wasn’t there.

She took out her phone and sent him a message: [My results are out. Top ten! I have a shot at Yun University now!]

Happy!

Lu Ning’s first thought was to share this joy with him.

After sending the message, she waited happily for his reply.

“Lu Ning, I heard you did well this time. Congratulations.”

Lu Ning saw Lu Nanfeng standing in front of her, and her smile faded. “It’s okay.”

Lu Nanfeng handed her a gift box. “To celebrate your good results, I specially picked out this gift. Didn’t you say you liked this jewelry brand before?”

Lu Ning glanced at the gemstone necklace inside.

Was this to make up for the emerald necklace he took and gave away?

At that moment, Qin Xiang came over, saw the gemstone necklace inside the box, and her expression almost cracked.

Qin Xiang forced a smile. “What a beautiful necklace, Sister Ning Ning. Put it on for Second Brother to see.”

Lu Ning lazily lifted her eyelids. “I don’t like it.”

Lu Nanfeng looked a bit awkward. “If you don’t like it, I’ll exchange it for another one. Which kind do you like?”

After Lu Ning refused the emerald necklace, Lu Nanfeng had specially bought a new one.

That should be enough, right?

From his behavior, Lu Ning saw his intention to make amends.

But the hurt she suffered wasn’t something a gemstone necklace could erase.

Qin Xiang noticed Lu Nanfeng’s attitude shifting, that he was even trying to reconcile with Lu Ning? This wasn’t how she had expected it to go.

Qin Xiang quickly said, “Sister Ning Ning, Second Brother is a straight man. How would he know what kind of jewelry girls like? You have no idea how much I envy you!”

Lu Ning impatiently glanced at her. “Then get into the top ten.”

Stop pretending to be weak!

Qin Xiang’s eyes immediately turned red. “I didn’t do well this time. If it weren’t for the Chen Hong incident affecting me, I wouldn’t have scored so badly.”

Lu Nanfeng looked awkward. “I know. It’s not your fault. Let’s go, I’ll take you both out for a big meal to celebrate.”

Lu Nanfeng quickly changed the topic, feeling overwhelmed.

Qin Xiang’s expression stiffened. She did poorly—what was there to celebrate?

Clearly, it was all for Lu Ning.

She felt annoyed. “Sister Ning Ning, how did you improve so much? Is there some trick or shortcut?”

Lu Ning said flatly, “The shortcut is to focus on studying instead of playing games.”

Qin Xiang immediately teared up, her tears falling. “But Sister Ning Ning, you still received so many love letters.”

Lu Nanfeng immediately asked, “What’s going on?”

Qin Xiang replied, “Sister Ning Ning is really popular at school now. Even students from other schools are asking about her and want her contact info.”

Lu Nanfeng frowned, remembering Ji Chiqian, and warned, “Lu Ning, you’re still young. The most important thing now is your studies. Don’t let yourself get distracted.”

Lu Ning leaned back in the car seat, lazily replying.

She wasn’t interested in any of this to begin with.

Qin Xiang noticed that Lu Nanfeng didn’t even get angry, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

Lu Nanfeng glanced at her. “Xiang Xiang, just work harder next time. There’s still the college entrance exam. No one will affect your performance again.”

Qin Xiang felt suffocated.

Her scores had dropped because of the team competition, yet no one in the Lu family thought of compensating her even a little?

Even the emerald necklace given to her was taken back! Damn it!

Lu Nanfeng’s attitude toward Lu Ning was already changing. She had to think of a way to stop it!

…

The car arrived at an upscale restaurant.

Lu Ning got out of the car in a bad mood. She would rather be at home studying than face Qin Xiang and Lu Nanfeng.

Seeing the restaurant, Qin Xiang exclaimed in surprise, “It’s actually this restaurant! Second Brother, you’re so biased. I asked you to bring me here before, but you never agreed.”

Lu Ning glanced at the restaurant.

In her past life, this place was famous, very high-end, and required membership.

Despite that, many rich people still took pride in being members here.

The restaurant had probably just opened.

Lu Nanfeng replied helplessly, “I was really busy before. Aren’t I bringing you now?”

“Second Brother, I’m riding on Sister Ning Ning’s coattails today, but I’m already very happy.”

Qin Xiang secretly took some photos to show off later on her social media.

Lu Nanfeng subconsciously looked at Lu Ning and saw she was calm, not as excited as Qin Xiang.

As they waited for the elevator inside the restaurant, Lu Ning suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the second floor.

Her eyes froze: it looked like Ji Chiqian!

She thought she was seeing things, but that side profile really resembled Ji Chiqian.

There was also a beautiful woman beside him, with long black hair and long legs.

Lu Ning quickly looked away, her heart racing.

She had just sent him a message, and he hadn’t replied.

Could he be on a date?

Lu Ning’s mood grew complicated. Ji Chiqian was handsome, had a good job—it was normal for him to be pursued.

But she had asked him before if he had a girlfriend, and he said no.

So he found someone that fast?

She absentmindedly walked into the private room and checked her phone, but there was still no reply from Ji Chiqian.

Was he unable to reply right now?

“Sister Ning Ning, why are you daydreaming? Big Brother is on a video call. Hurry up and come here. He’s usually very busy.”

Lu Ning snapped back to reality and saw Lu Nanfeng holding the phone. The video call was already connected.

She saw Lu Dong on the screen, with stern features and an aura of authority.

She walked over quietly. “Big Brother.”

She only greeted him and said nothing more.

The atmosphere turned cold.

In the past, whenever she saw Big Brother, she would always try to lighten the mood and act obedient.

But in her past life, it was Big Brother who personally kicked her out of the Lu family and cut off her living expenses.

So now, she wasn’t going to play nice anymore.

Lu Dong frowned. “Lu Ning, I heard your grades have improved a lot lately, but don’t get arrogant and act out. Qin Xiang’s grades have dropped seriously. You should help her more. After all, we are family.”

Lu Ning sneered. These words were no different from what Second Brother had said.

She impatiently replied, “Second Brother hired a tutor. She doesn’t need me.”

“Lu Ning, what kind of attitude is that? I’m not asking you—I’m ordering you to help Qin Xiang improve her grades. Understood?”

Lu Dong, as the head of the family, was always strict and used to giving orders without discussion.

He had heard that Lu Ning had changed a lot recently, distancing herself from the family out of spite.

Lu Ning slowly looked at Lu Dong on the screen. “I refuse.”

She didn’t want to!

Lu Dong immediately lost his temper. “Say that again!”
