Lu Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes.

“Wasn’t it my fault?”

Huo Jinyan nodded.

Lu Nings lips trembled slightly.

Is it? Is it really not my fault?

How could it not be? Ifit wasn’t for me, how could Lù Yue’an have done all this?

How could it not be my fault?

Huo Jinyan closed his eyes and pinched her chin, forcing her to turn around. It was rare for him to treat her so forcefully.

“Lu Ning, you can’t blame yourself for everything. The evil of others has nothing to do with you. You can’t think that it’s your fault just because that person has something to do with you.

“No matter what you’re like, bad people will still be bad. Do you understand? They won’t get better just because you backed down or became strong. This is their problem, not yours.”

He stared at her with passionate eyes.

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and emotions flashed across her eyes.

She knew all this, but she could not help but think this way.

She looked at Huo Jinyan and nodded solemnly. Her expression changed. “l understand.’

Huo Jinyan looked into her eyes and softened his grip, his fingers gently rubbing her chin.

“Does it hurt? Did 1 scare you?”

His voice was slow and gentle. He sighed and asked her gently.

Lu Ning held his hand and shook her head.

Huo Jinyan reached out to hug her and said softly, “Don’t be like this.”

Lu Ning nodded slightly, enough for him to feel it.

“I’m sorry.”

He was indeed anxious just now and did not control his strength. He could not help but feel guilty when a red mark appeared on Lu Nings chin.

Lu Ning did not care. She hugged him and placed her head on his shoulder.

After a long time, she suddenly said, “Huo Jinyan, thank you.”

In the past, no one had ever told her not to blame herself.

All she ever heard was, ‘Blame yourself’.

In a way, Huo Jinyan was not only reminding the current Lu Ning, but also the former Lù Ning.

On the way back, Lu Ning fell asleep.

In her sleep, she dreamed of her middle school days.

At that time, she was in an aristocratic school and everyone around her was either rich or noble.

At that time, the Lt.] family was like the sun in the sky. When everyone saw her, they were polite and respectful, but it was all superficial.

Almost no one could get used to her behind her back.

They all felt that she was putting on airs just because her family was rich.

At that time, she was indeed a loner. It was not because of anyone, but because of herself.

However, once too much attention was given to any one person, there would be two sides to their everything. Their good could become bad, while the bad would become worse.

Lu Ning was often criticized by them behind her back. She even knew that those people were secretly discussing how to mess with her, so she hid away from them.

She did not want to be hurt, nor did she want to hurt anyone.

However, being unable to mess with her even once, they started to become anxious.

So, a group of them planned a trap specially for Lu Ning. At that time, Lu Ning grades were her only vulnerability.

They accused her of cheating.

Lu Ning had actually experienced the same cheating set-up countless times.

At that time, she had looked coldly at the people who were accusing her.

She felt that this world was quite ridiculous.

What aristocratic schools valued first and foremost, was one’s family background and wealth.

At that time, almost no one dared to provoke Lu Ning. Even the teacher could not help but feel that it was difficult to deal with her.

However, there were too many people who reported Lu Ning, and they could not just suppress the situation as it was, so they could only call Shi Qingyue and Lù Chuan over. Of course, they were just going through the motions simply not to ruffle any feathers..
