However, the words that came out of her mouth were, “That’s rightm

Then, she pushed Lu Bai out and closed the door in one smooth motion.

Lu Bai looked at the closed door.

As the old saying goes, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

He shook his head helplessly and returned to his room.

Lu Ning was sitting in her room, looking through the personal information about Jiäng Zhe that Song Wenqi had sent over.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

She frowned deeply, squinting at the information on her phone. Her fingers gently slid across the screen.

She extracted the key points from the information.

The Jiängfamily, the Shen family, the Lu family…

Shen family… Lu family?

Lu Ning suddenly looked up at her closet. It was still open; she had not closed it after taking something from it just now.

It was filled with new clothes, all brought by Shen Yunci. As before, there were no labels or brands.

Shen Yunci said that she got it from a street stall, but how could such clothes be from a street stall?

Lu Ning frowned and sat there in silence for a long time.

She lowered her eyes and hesitantly sent a message to Song Wenqi.

[Can you help me investigate Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi?]

Song Wenqi might have been looking at his phone, as he replied very quickly.

[Your parents?]

[Okay.]

The other party did not reply. Lu Ning put away her phone, feeling very conflicted.

All the details that she had been ignoring seemed to have been magnified and brought out into the spotlight, bit by bit.

Lu Ning napped for a while in the afternoon. When she woke up, she was woken up by the phone.

She reached for her phone and picked it up in a daze.

“Hello?”

“Were you sleeping?”

Huo Jinyan’s voice came from the other end.

Lu Ning was stunned. She opened her eyes and slowly sat up.

She answered vaguely, “Yes, I’m up.”

Huo Jinyan’s voice came from the other end. “Why haven’t you replied to my messages?”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. She pulled her phone away from her ear and looked at her WeChat.

She realized that she had indeed not replied to Huo Jinyan’s messages—not only today, but also from many days ago.

Lu Ning raised her hand and scratched her head. She placed the phone to her ear and muttered, “l forgot.”

Huo Jinyan’s low laughter came from the other end.

“Have you eaten?”

Lu Ning looked up at the darkening sky outside. “No.”

“Is there anyone home?”

Lu Ning was stunned. She did not know what he wanted to do, but she still answered obediently, “Yes.”

“Hungry?”

“Not so much.’

“Come and open the door.”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment. She quickly got out of bed and walked out of her room.

She was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, she looked out through the peephole.

She could not help but smile before opening the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Huo Jinyan standing at the door, looking at her with a smile. “Are your parents not at home?”

“Yeah, they’re not here.”

“Then I won’t go in. Take these, they’re still warm. You can eat them now. Get inside, it’s too cold outside.’

Lu Ning took the things, then Huo Jinyan pushed her inside and closed the door.

She stared blankly at the closed door, then let out a smile. Then, she took her things to the dining room and placed them on the table.

Lu Bai opened the door and leaned against the door frame, looking at her.

“What are you doing? You even prepared delicious food for your big brother.”

Lu Ning looked up at him. “There’s nothing for you.”

Lu Bai walked over and shamelessly came over to help her open the bags. “You can’t finish so much food either. I’ll help you.”

Lu Ning took a step back and let him do it.. She could not help but laugh and complain, “Do all boys have such a shameless side?”
