After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

52 Did You Get Into a Fight?

Lu Qing wanted to return to his room, but when he overheard them he could not help but ask, “Who got hurt?”

Shen Yunci paused their conversation and turned to look at him.

After staring at him for about a minute without saying a single word, she turned back to Lu Zhi.

Lu Qing: “Huh?”

Lu Qing, who had been blatantly disregarded, stood there and listened in for a few minutes. Then, he understood.

Lu Ning had been injured while at school. She said she fell and hurt herself, but it seemed like she did not fall; rather, someone in school bullied her.

The more Shen Yunci reasoned, the more she felt she was right.

“If she fell, there would be bruises elsewhere on her body. Wasn’t I bruised all over when I fell down the other time? But other than her forehead, Ning’ning’s perfectly fine everywhere else. Someone must have deliberately hit her!”

Lu Zhi did not believe it at first, but the more he listened to her, the more he felt that it was true as well.

“Then, should we head over to the school and tell Ning’ning’s teacher about this?”

“Of course we have to! How can I not lift a finger if my daughter’s being bullied?! No matter who it is, they have to be caught and made to apologize to Ning’ning. If we don’t teach them a lesson, Ning’ning will inevitably be bullied even more in the future.

“Those classmates are probably being spiteful. When Ning’ning was still the eldest daughter of the Lù family, they didn’t dare touch a hair on her; but now they know Ning’ning isn’t, so they immediately came to hurt her.”

As she spoke, Shen Yunci’s eyes reddened again. “If we didn’t have to hide, our Ning’ning wouldn’t have suffered like this.”

Lu Zhi held her in his arms. “It’s alright, don’t cry now. Ning’ning will blame herself if she sees you like this. Things will get better, that matter will come to an end eventually.”

Hearing this, Shen Yunci grew a little antsy. She looked at Lu Zhi and asked worriedly, “Did he look for you again?!”

Lu Zhi took a deep breath. “He didn’t show his face, but he’s probably back. I’ll have to be at the construction site these days to keep them fooled; you should avoid going out on your own.”

Shen Yunci pursed her lips and nodded.

“Alright, I’ll go make dinner. The children must be hungry.”

Lu Ning picked up Lu Jingzhi’s test paper and graded it.

Lu Ning smiled and rubbed his head. “Well done!”

Lu Jingzhi stared at her forehead, her face clearly reflected in his large, round eyes.

“Sister, did you get into a fight with someone?”

Lu Ning could not hold back a giggle. “Why would you think that?”

Lu Jingzhi looked at her seriously. “Your forehead is injured, and you even changed your clothes.”

Lu Ning blinked in surprise. “How did you know I changed my clothes?”

The school uniforms were certainly the same, and her uniform had always been kept very clean and neat, and looked as though it was new.

Lu Jingzhi scratched his head meekly. “When I went to your room yesterday, I accidentally stained the sleeve of your uniform with my crayon.”

Lu Ning saw his guilty expression and smiled at him. “It’s okay, I just fell down accidentally; my clothes got dirty, and so I borrowed them from my classmates.

“By the way, thank you for the gift. I like it very much.”

Lu Jingzhi looked at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning felt as if he had seen through her.

“I’ll be going back to my room to do my homework.”

Lu Ning rose up to leave.

“Sister.”

Lu Jingzhi hopped down from the bed and called out to Lu Ning.

He tugged at the corner of Lu Ning’s shirt, gesturing for her to squat down.

Lu Ning crouched and looked at him; he pulled himself close to her forehead and puffed at the gauze. “Pain, pain go away. Sister, get better quickly.”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. She felt that she was about to melt from the overload of cuteness, but she was also surprised by Lu Jingzhi’s actions.

“Jingzhi, who taught you this?”
