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

74 Won’t Give Up so Easily

Lu Ning did not want them to feel guilty, so she never spoke or asked about it. However, regardless of whether she spoke or asked about it, the remorse in her parents’ hearts still remained.

It was the same with Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue. In the past, they had never accompanied Lu Ning; however, after learning the truth and knowing that their biological daughter had returned, the remorse in their hearts made them abandon everything they previously could not bear to leave behind to accompany Lù Yue’an.

Such remorse may gradually fade with time, but it might also remain for the rest of their lives…

Lu Ning went to school the next day after Lu Zhi arrived. As she had just started working part-time it was not easy for her to take leave, so Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci told her to work hard and not worry.

Lu Ning even took on a translation job during her part-time job at noon. After her part-time job, she translated documents in the infirmary and went to class when the bell rang.

The part-time tuition was on weekends, so it would not be affected.

When Shen Yunci found out that the tuition was on the weekends, she felt a little regretful, which startled Lu Ning.

Lu Zhi could only help smooth things over for her, saying that her mother was afraid she was working herself too hard.

The truth was, Shen Yunci felt that she had gotten injured at the wrong time; she should have gotten injured during the weekend.

However, she did not realize that even if she had been injured during the weekend, that would not have stopped Lu Ning from going on the following weekends.

After the tuition, Lu Ning went to accompany Shen Yunci. Shen Yunci had to be hospitalized for another two weeks before she could go home to recuperate. Shen Yunci had been experiencing cabin fever for the past few days and badly wanted to go home.

However, after having been explicitly forbidden from leaving the hospital, she could only wander around the hospital. Later, Lu Ning found her some toys to relieve her boredom; playing every day, she no longer felt bored or restless.

On this day, after Lu Ning finished her part-time job, she went to the hospital to accompany Shen Yunci. As she came out of the elevator she could not help but rub her temples.

Huo Jinyan had gone straight to the café to tutor her, and it was quite an ordeal escaping from him.

However, as she walked out of the elevator she could hear Lu Zhi’s voice from the stairwell beside her.

“… I know, but you have to investigate this matter thoroughly! Why did my wife get injured for no reason? It’s not her first time at this job, so don’t you tell me it was due to negligence!

“The surveillance cameras are broken?! Whenever something happens the surveillance cameras are always broken! What’s the use of apologizing?! It’s in your factory that such an incident happened!

“What’s the use of apologizing to me? The one who’s injured isn’t me, it’s my wife, and she’s not going to accept your apologies! Investigate this matter thoroughly and find the perpetrator, or else you’ll…!”

Before he could finish, he looked up and saw Lu Ning standing outside the stairwell.

The words, ‘be removed’, that were about to slip out of his mouth instantly changed to, “Otherwise, think of a way to resolve the issue!”

He hung up right after.

Then, he pushed the door open and was met with Lu Ning’s icy expression.

“Ning’ning, when did you arrive? Your mother was just talking about you.”

As he spoke, he pulled her towards the wards.

Lu Ning did not move, but only raised her gaze towards him. “Daddy, was Mommy’s injury not from an accident? Was it intentional?”

Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment. “Daddy was just making wild guesses. Don’t think too much of it, Daddy will take care of it.”

Lu Ning truly did not inquire any further, but Lu Zhi looked at her and felt that she would not give up so easily.

“…”

Gu Chen had just left the school to meet someone. After walking for a short while, he heard the din of a scuffle in a poorly-lit alley.

He subconsciously stopped in his tracks and craned his neck to take a gander; and there, he spotted a familiar face.
