Chapter 369 Let's Go Home

"I'm so sorry, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu!" Wen Ni also felt a little guilty. Her one move had defeated them, and if she had used any more force, they might have dislocated their joints on the spot. "I'm always sensitive to people with unclear identities who are acting suspiciously."

"This girl speaks quite frankly! Hahaha! No wonder the old man likes her!" Lu Zhenhua chuckled dryly, slapping his thigh. "I like her too! Hahahaha!"

"...Stop grinning like an idiot." Mao Linlin tugged at his sleeve. "You're almost fifty, be more mature!"

"Ahem!" Lu Zhenhua cleared his throat, trying to appear more composed.

But he couldn't stay composed at all. Before long, when he met Wen Ni's gaze, he grinned again!

“My uncle and aunt are just like that, they like to joke around and are easy to get along with! Jinbai’s personality is quite similar to theirs in some ways.” Lu Jinye gave Wen Ni a brief introduction, then turned to look at them, “Then why didn’t you quickly reveal your identities when Wen Ni caught you?”

"I'm just afraid of losing face."

Lu Zhenhua rubbed his knees back and forth with his palms, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“Your aunt and I are both military personnel, one from the navy and the other from the army! Although we don’t have the same rank as your parents, we are still junior officers. This is the military hospital, and if we are seen by someone we know, wouldn’t we be incredibly embarrassed?”

"We were planning to find a chance to escape, but who would have thought this girl would be so quick and efficient, giving us no chance at all!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Yuan, who was watching the commotion from the window, laughed again. "Uncle, Aunt, with that shout you just gave, all the patients on the floor came running! It's hard not to embarrass yourselves!"

"Little Qin Yuan, go stand over there!" Mao Linlin pretended to be angry and scolded him before continuing, "This vacation was a last-minute decision, Jin Bai doesn't know yet, Jin Ye, don't tell him yet either, I want to give him a surprise~!"

"Yes, I know, Auntie." Lu Jinye nodded and smiled knowingly.

The smile was genuine.

But Wen Ni could sense the unspoken envy that flashed across that smile! As a child, he probably hoped more than once that his parents could come back often like his uncle and aunt, bringing him surprises.

"Konno, your grandfather was very worried about you while you were away from home. Did you let him know?"

"Yes, Uncle, don't worry."

Lu Jinye was pulled aside by Lu Zhenhua to chat about everyday things.

“Wen Ni, my dear.” Mao Linlin was more attentive. She sat down next to Wen Ni, placed her hand on the back of Wen Ni’s hand, and whispered, “Do your family members know that you’re back?”

“I haven’t told them about this yet.” Wen Ni’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not refuse her touch. “I’m in this state right now, covered in injuries, and the bruises on my face haven’t completely faded yet. I’m afraid my family will worry.”

The fact that she is still alive is currently only known to the military and the Lu family.

To others, she was just a memorial tablet!

"What a sensible, silly child." Mao Linlin's face was full of heartache. "You should tell them as soon as possible. Compared to their worry when they saw you were injured, the news that you are alive is more gratifying for them!"

"……Um."

Mao Linlin's words struck Wen Ni's heart. Her eyes sparkled as she looked up, already having made up her mind!

"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie! I understand."

"Good child." Mao Linlin nodded gently.

Three days later

On the day of her discharge, Wen Ni's legs were still unable to bear weight. The bruises on her face had faded somewhat, but some marks were still visible!

She was dressed in a neat military green uniform, with her jacket draped over her arm. Standing downstairs at the hospital, her tall and slender figure was exceptionally eye-catching! It was impossible to look away!

The black sedan slowly came to a stop in front of her.

The men who got out of the car were all eye-catching!

"Miss Wen Ni." Qin Yuan nodded in acknowledgment and turned to move her luggage.

Wearing a sky-blue casual outfit that made him appear even taller and with longer legs, Lu Jinye gentlemanly opened the car door and looked at Wen Ni, "Are you planning to go home first? Or to the shop? Or perhaps, come back to the Lu residence with me?"

"I think I should go see Xiaocheng first."

Wen Ni glanced at the date and time on her phone.

"Today happens to be Friday. I heard Qin Yuan say that he usually doesn't have classes on Friday afternoons, so I can pick him up and go home together!"

“Okay!” Lu Jinye readily agreed. “I’ll go with you.”

"Mmm." Wen Ni didn't refuse.

During her hospital stay, Wen Ni heard a lot from Lu Jinye, all of which happened during her mission.

Xiaocheng performed well in the college entrance examination in June and was not affected by her sudden sacrifice!

His scores were high enough to get into the top business school in China, but in order to stay in Gotham City and be closer to where his sister had lived, he ultimately chose the Provincial University of Technology, which is one level below the business school, but is still a relatively well-known university!

noon

During the lunch break at the Provincial University of Technology, students come and go.

Many students who didn't have afternoon classes simply walked out of the school gate with their backpacks and went home to enjoy their weekend.

Class 1, First Year, Finance Major, School of Business.

After finishing the last class of the morning, Wen Cheng packed her schoolbag and walked straight out of the classroom.

A girl chased after him.

"Wen Cheng, Wen Cheng! Are you going home? My dad is coming to pick me up in a bit to take me back to the city. Where do you live? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No need, I can take the bus, thank you." Wen Cheng politely declined her offer without stopping.

I had just walked down two flights of stairs when several people blocked my way, and someone rudely shoved me in the chest!

Wen Cheng took a few steps back and looked at the three boys in front of her.

He was a freshman in the same year but a different class.

"Wang Lei, what are you doing?" The girl was anxious and stepped forward to protect Wen Cheng.

"MoMo, you ask us what we want? Why don't you ask him what he wants? He knows you like him, yet he acts all high and mighty! Who does he think he is? So ungrateful!" The boy named Wang Lei looked down on him with arrogant eyes. "I heard from the grade teacher that his family is from the countryside, his parents don't care about him, and his only sister died recently! They're dirt poor, all they have to show for themselves is his face!"

"What does my family background have to do with you? Besides, I'm not in the mood for romance right now." Wen Cheng's face turned cold, devoid of any gentleness. He stopped wasting words with them and stepped aside. "Get out of my way!"

"You're really tough, kid! I don't know where you get your confidence from!" The group laughed silently.

Wang Lei turned around to look at Wen Cheng's departing figure, and angrily licked his lips!

"That arrogant brat, I need to teach him a lesson. I'll also let Momo see just how useless he really is!"
