Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 83:

Chapter 83: The White Lotus’ Father Is Still Alive?

Lu Liu refuted, “Even if Lu Ning didn’t perform well, there’s no need for her to repeat a year. Her grades are already better than all of us brothers, except for Third Brother, the medical fanatic. She’s done pretty well.”

Raising her grades so much in just a few months wasn’t something ordinary people could do.

After being refuted, Qin Xiang looked at Lu Liu in shock. She hadn’t expected even he would start speaking up for Lu Ning.

Lu Nanfeng had already changed, and now even Lu Liu showed signs of changing too.

For a moment, overwhelming panic gripped Qin Xiang’s heart.

She couldn’t lose the brothers’ affection.

Feeling uneasy, Qin Xiang said, “I know Sister Ningning’s grades improved a lot, but maybe such sudden improvement wasn’t stable, and that’s why she didn’t perform well this time.”

Lu Nanfeng was conflicted, “Tomorrow your school will hold a seminar about filling out college applications, and repeat students can consult about repeating a year too, right?”

Qin Xiang nodded, “That’s right.”

“Go and take a look tomorrow.”

“Second Brother, do you think I should repeat a year too?”

Qin Xiang actually didn’t want to repeat a year; it wasn’t meaningful, and she could make money through live streaming instead.

In the future, she could also enter the entertainment industry through Fourth Brother’s film company!

Lu Nanfeng spoke calmly, “Qin Xiang, even if you had performed normally, your scores wouldn’t have reached the top-tier university cut-off. There’s no need to repeat. Just pick a major you like and go to college.”

Lu Nanfeng had made up his mind.

He would persuade Lu Ning to repeat a year.

This time, he wouldn’t make any more mistakes. Without Qin Xiang around, he wouldn’t let Lu Ning suffer any more grievances.

After speaking, Lu Nanfeng left.

Qin Xiang watched Lu Nanfeng’s back, biting her lip unwillingly. What did his words mean?

Was he implying she wasn’t as good as Lu Ning?

Even if she repeated a year, it wouldn’t be as meaningful as Lu Ning repeating.

Feeling a bit awkward, Lu Liu scratched his head and said to Qin Xiang, “Qin Xiang, don’t take Second Brother’s words to heart. He’s always spoiled Lu Ning. It’ll be fine after some time.”

“Sixth Brother, how could I take it to heart? After all, Second Brother is also very good to me. I’m already very grateful for everything I have.”

Pretending to be understanding, Qin Xiang then looked at the butler, “Is the medicinal porridge I made for Second Brother ready? It’s not as good as Sister Ningning’s cooking, but I still want to help relieve Second Brother’s stomach pain.”

“It should be ready soon.”

Seeing Qin Xiang’s sensible attitude, Lu Liu said reassuringly, “It’s okay if you didn’t do well on the exam. I’ll take you to the bar to relax.”

“Okay. I’ll go upstairs to change. Uncle Butler, please help bring the porridge to Second Brother later.”

Excited, Qin Xiang turned and went upstairs.

But just as she finished changing into a dress, her phone rang.

She glanced at it—it was a strange number. This number had called her a few days ago, but she hadn’t answered.

She thought it was a wrong number, so she didn’t pay attention.

Now the number was calling again.

In a good mood, she answered sweetly, “Hello, who’s this?”

“Ah Xiang, it’s me.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Xiang’s mind went blank.

Her hand trembled as she lowered her voice, “Who are you?”

Why did the voice sound exactly like her deceased father?

But hadn’t her father died years ago, working as a driver for the Lu family, sacrificing himself in a car accident to save the Lu couple?

“Ah Xiang, it’s complicated. I can’t explain it all right now. Just send me some money; I really need it.”

“Scammers these days are getting bolder, even impersonating my dead father to swindle money? Do I look that easy to fool?”

With that, Qin Xiang hung up.

But she couldn’t calm down. Instead, a raging storm churned inside her.

Because her father did call her Ah Xiang.

It had been years since she heard that name.

Qin Xiang had always harbored doubts. Her father had been an abusive man, addicted to gambling, who often beat her and her mother after losing money.

Later, her mother couldn’t take it and ran away. As a girl, Qin Xiang lived a miserable life.

Then one day, her father supposedly died heroically while saving someone, and she was brought to live with the Lu family.

She had always felt something was off.

Her father was not a good person. How could he possibly do something like saving others?

But she didn’t dare say anything. If the Lu family investigated and found out something, she would lose her privileged life.

Qin Xiang had forced herself to forget those doubts and accepted all the Lu family’s kindness.

Yet now, receiving a call claiming to be from her father, she couldn’t help but panic. What if he was really alive?

What really happened with that car accident?

Qin Xiang didn’t dare think any further!

Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.

“Qin Xiang, why are you taking so long to change clothes?”

Lu Liu’s voice came from outside. Qin Xiang quickly composed herself, “Coming.”

She immediately blocked the number and deleted all call records, pretending nothing had happened.

That call must have been a scam. It couldn’t be real. Her father was already dead.

After adjusting her emotions, Qin Xiang walked out of the room, “Let’s go, Sixth Brother.”

Lu Liu grumbled impatiently, “Girls are such a hassle when going out.”

…

Outside the bar.

Lu Ning got out of the car with Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng. When she saw the sign of the bar, it felt extremely familiar.

Wasn’t this the same bar where she had been humiliated by Qin Xiang in her previous life?

What a coincidence.

Ji Chiqian noticed Lu Ning’s expression looked a bit off, “What’s wrong? If you don’t like this bar, we can go to another one.”

“No need. This bar is pretty famous and really popular lately.”

Gu Zifeng turned back, “Yeah, this place is lively.”

Ji Chiqian looked deeply at Lu Ning, “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“With you guys here, what could happen to me?”

Lu Ning concealed her earlier disgust. After all, this wasn’t her past life. She wouldn’t let herself be bullied by Qin Xiang without fighting back.

Watching Lu Ning’s back, Ji Chiqian often felt she had expressions beyond her age—something out of place.

He didn’t know if it was just his imagination.

The three of them walked into the bar together.

Lu Ning put on a fox mask. Today’s theme at the bar was a masquerade ball.

It really was just like her previous life.

She remembered in her past life, Qin Xiang flirted with the popular boy from the neighboring school, Gu Yan, in this very bar. To help Qin Xiang, Gu Yan pretended to confess to Lu Ning here.

It had been Lu Ning’s first experience with a boy’s confession, but she was met with ruthless mockery.

Worst of all, Sixth Brother was present and defended Qin Xiang, saying it was just a joke.

She had been humiliated and laughed at like she was worthless.

Now, she was curious to see what would happen this time.

As Lu Ning stepped into the hall, rhythmic music filled the air.

She saw the spotlight shine on the stage where Gu Yan stood holding a bouquet of flowers, approaching a girl wearing a little bunny mask.

At a glance, Lu Ning recognized the girl under the bunny mask—it was Qin Xiang.
