Chapter 55 - The girl who saved Lu Jue (2)
Mother Lu, “Back in grade school, Xiao Jue had been bullied by a few boys in his class and was locked inside the bathroom. Xiao Yue was the one who informed the teacher to go and get him.”
Mother Lu’s tone sounded very appreciative. “The teacher only gave the boys verbal warnings and I never found out about it. Luckily, Xiao Yue wrote me a letter and told me about it. Xiao Jue would continue to be bullied by those boys otherwise.”
Huo Xiaoyue was the girl who brought the teacher?
Ning Zhi was surprised.
She looked at the girl. The little girl’s cute round face had grown and her features had become more delicate. She could still see a hint of her look when she was a kid.
Ning Zhi remembered that this girl had asked Lu Jue to be her boyfriend back in grade school!
But what was with that letter?
She wrote the letter while holding onto little Lu Jue’s hand. How did that turn into Huo Xiaoyue who wrote the letter?
“Aunty Lu, I only remembered going to get the teacher. It had been so long. I can’t remember whether I wrote a letter to you or not.” It had been so long that Huo Xiaoyue couldn’t remember all of the details.
Mother Lu smiled and said, “One way or another, Aunty is still very appreciative of what you have done.”
She turned toward Ning Zhi and said, “Xiaoyue was here to visit Xiao Jue today. Why don’t you take her upstairs with you? Xiao Jue won’t lose his temper with you around.”
“Okay,” said Ning Zhi.
Huo Xiaoyue, walking next to Ning Zhi, said to her bluntly, “I like Lu Jue. Had I not gone to study abroad, I will be the one who married him.”
Ning Zhi could now see a hint of Huo Xiaoyue, the little girl back in the days. She found that comical. “There’s no ‘ifs’ in this world. Besides, Lu Jue doesn’t like you. Regardless of whether you have studied abroad or not, you wouldn’t be the one to marry him.”
“I’ve known Lu Jue since grade school.” Huo Xiaoyue lifted her chin, looking very much like a wealthy girl that she was. “Grade school, junior high school, and senior high school. I had always been in the same class as him. I was there with him when he grew up.”
“Are we competing who knew him first now?” Ning Zhi’s lips curved upward. “I’ve known him since kindergarten.”
Huo Xiaoyue didn’t believe her. “That’s impossible!”
“I don’t need you to believe me,” said Ning Zhi nonchalantly.
Huo Xiaoyue hit where it hurt. “You are too ugly for Lu Jue.”
Ning Zhi felt that Huo Xiaoyue was a cute kid but how did she turn into such a jerk after she grew up?
“It doesn’t matter how I look as long as Lu Jue likes me.” Ning Zhi’s skin was very thick. She would not bulge from just a few words from Huo Xiaoyue.
Huo Xiaoyue bit her lip and just found Ning Zhi very annoying.
She had really wanted to marry Lu Jue if it wasn’t for her mother’s objection.
Lu Jue was normally inside his study at this hour.
Ning Zhi pushed open the door and saw Lu Jue sitting in front of the computer in his red workout clothes.
Huo Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up. She ran up to him. “Long time no see, Lu Jue. I am back from overseas.”
Lu Jue paid no attention to her words or her person.
Huo Xiaoyue wanted to touch his hand but he avoided her immediately.
Huo Xiaoyue sighed. She was already used to that. She had only been chasing after him since grade school.
“Have you lost some weight, Lu Jue? You looked to be handsomer too?” Huo Xiaoyue looked up and down Lu Jue. She had always had good eyes. Lu Jue was, indeed, the handsomest of them all.
Ning Zhi was unhappy now. She suddenly felt that someone was coveting what was her.
She walked over to Lu Jue and leaned into his ear.
She purposefully touched the tip of Lu Jue’s ear with her lip and said, “Xiao Juejue, your old schoolmate’s here to visit you. Why don’t you say hi to her?”
As soon as she finished talking, she saw a row of little suns appearing inside the indicator over Lu Jue’s head.
One, two, three……
She counted. There were 7 total!
Ning Zhi was even more unhappy now. Exactly how happy was he when he saw Huo Xiaoyue??
