Chapter 111 - "I've been wanting to hit you for a while now." (3)

Ning Zhi’s purpose of today’s trip was to find out more about Lu Jue’s life in senior high school but, no matter who she talked to, nobody could tell her much about Lu Jue.

She asked if anyone bullied Lu Jue in senior high school and the class lead smiled and told her that, “Every one was busy with the college entrance examination then and nobody would have the time to waste on something like this.” Meaning, no, nobody bullied Lu Jue.

Ning Zhi felt that she didn’t get much out of this reunion trip.

Before she headed to the bathroom, she told Lu Jue a million times to not drink any beverages given to him by anyone else, or any food that was given to him. He was to wait for her docilely and not to run around.

Lu Jue looked at her with his pitch-black eyes and there was a hint of resentment in them. “Me child?”

He was not a child.

“I know.” Ning Zhi smiled and stroked him on his head. “But you are cuter than a child. What if others want to hurt you because they are jealous of your cuteness or kidnap you because you are wandering around?”

Ning Zhi was really wooing Lu Jue as if he was a child.

Lu Jue lowered his eyes and the tips of his ears were a bit red. He replied slowly, “Keep in mind.”

I will keep that in mind.

It was after that that Ning Zhi finally felt safe enough to walk out of the private room. Huo Xiaoyue, too, got up and followed her out.

Ning Zhi glanced over at Huo Xiaoyue in the hallway. “Why are you following me?”

“I am heading to the bathroom as well. Who’s following you?” Huo Xiaoyue snapped.

Ning Zhi felt that Lu Jue was like bullied puppy and Huo Xiaoyue, a lion cub with no idea how strong (weak) she really was but always looking like she was ready to pounce. She might look mean but she could be knocked down with just a push.

“Oh?” Ning Zhi mumbled casually and couldn’t be bothered to engage with her.

Huo Xiaoyue had heels on and couldn’t walk as fast as Ning Zhi. Falling behind Ning Zhi, Huo Xiaoyue looked at Ning Zhi’s pair of long legs and pursed her lips.

Ning Zhi walked into the bathroom first and ran right into Li Li and another woman whom she did not know her name. The two were applying makeup on themselves.

They glanced over at Ning Zhi out of the corners of their eyes when Ning Zhi walked in and didn’t pay her too much attention. They carried on, “Huo Xiaoyue is only so stuck up because of her family.”

Ning Zhi couldn’t have agreed more. Her ears perked up as she waited for more gossips.

Li Li said, “So what if she is from a wealthy family? She’s still stupid. An idiot like her wouldn’t have been able to be so arrogant if she wasn’t born in such a good family.”

“I feel that you are hiding something from me,” said the woman next to Li Li curiously.

Li Li said to her, “You know that Huo Xiaoyang, Huo Xiaoyue’s brother, had lost his legs and will be wheelchair bound for life?”

The woman nodded quickly. Many girls were into Huo Xiaoyue’s brother back then. When the accident happened so abruptly to such an outstanding individual, many of the girls at school had cried.

“Everyone thought that what had happened to Senior Huo Xiaoyang was an accident when, in reality, the accident was entirely caused by Huo Xiaoyue’s being a spoiled brat.”

Li Li smiled and said, “You thought Huo Xiaoyue went overseas for no reasons? No, she was exiled by the Huo’s overseas because of what happened to her brother.”

The woman was shocked, “Are you serious?”

Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open with a loud “BANG”.

Standing outside the door was Huo Xiaoyue. Looking like a lion that was enraged, her eyes were red and she was staring at Li Li viciously. “I am going to slap you silly, you tramp. I am stupid. I had been listening to you all long. I allowed you to incite me into doing stupid things.”

Li Li didn’t think that she would be caught red handed while speaking poorly of Huo Xiaoyue. She quickly grabbed her purse and wanted to leave.
