Lu Feng smiled, put his arm around her, and didn't say anything.
The next day, Lin Wanwan took the day off from work and drove home for dinner.
Lu Ming saw her and greeted her, "Mom, I got her home address."
"Okay, we'll go over after we eat."
Lin Wanwan reached out and pressed his injured lip.
"Did you apply the medicine?"
Lu Ming hissed.
"Mom, that medicine tastes so bitter when applied to the corners of my mouth, I've applied it to the rest of my mouth too."
Lin Wanwan looked up and called to the aunt, "Bring the medicine over, I'll apply it to him."
"Mom, Mom, I can wipe it myself."
Lin Wanwan looked at him and said, "Then hurry up and go, don't try to fool me."
Lu Ming took the medicine to the bathroom, and the aunt said with a smile, "Xiao Ming is afraid of you. I've told his grandma so many times, but he won't listen."
"You guys spoil him too much. If you don't wipe it, you force him to wipe it."
The aunt smiled and looked towards the bathroom. "He's all grown up now, he cares about his image."
"Too."
After lunch, I took Lu Ming and drove to Li Qingran's house.
"This place is so hard to find. Are you sure the address is correct?"
"Yes, I asked her best friend, who isn't in our class. I went through many twists and turns to find the phone number, so it shouldn't be wrong."
Lu Ming looked at her and said, "Mom, wait for me in the car. I'll go look for it first, and then I'll come pick you up."
Lin Wanwan parked the car on the side of the road and reached for her seatbelt.
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded, then took the parasol from behind.
"Let's go, I'll hold the umbrella for you."
Lin Wanwan looked up at her son, who was taller than her, and smiled happily.
"My little dumpling has really grown up, so considerate and gentle."
Lu Ming blushed slightly; he always felt a little embarrassed whenever Lin Wanwan called him Tuanzi (a nickname).
The two hadn't gone far when they heard a clear voice call out, "Lu Ming?!"
Lu Ming turned around. "Li Qingran, I was just looking for you."
Lin Wanwan turned to look at the girl in front of her. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail and was wearing a beige long dress. The dress was old-fashioned and looked worn, but it was very clean.
Li Qingran looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with a puzzled expression, then turned to ask Lu Ming.
"Your sister?"
Lu Ming looked at her in surprise, then at his mother beside him.
“This is my mom. We came here specifically to see you.”
Li Qingran blushed immediately. "I'm sorry, Auntie, you look so young. I thought you were Lu Ming's older sister."
Lin Wanwan was overjoyed to be praised for looking young.
“It’s alright, I’m happy that you complimented me on looking young. I came here specifically to see you today,” she said, turning to Lu Ming. “Go get your things from the car, we’re going to your classmate’s house.”
Lin Wanwan held the umbrella over her head and said, "The sun is so bright outside, why didn't you use an umbrella when you came out?"
Li Qingran was flattered. "I'm used to it, Auntie. You can shield yourself, I'll get the umbrella for you."
"No need, you lead the way, let's go to your house. Is your mother home?"
Li Qingran shook her head. "No, my mom went out to work, my sister and brother are at school, and I'm the only one at home."
Lu Ming followed behind, carrying the things.
They arrived at the Li family's house in just a few minutes.
It was a very old dormitory building. Li Qingran's home was on the fourth floor. Her home was very small, with only two rooms and a small living room.
"Auntie, please come in and sit down."
Lin Wanwan looked around the small house. It was very clean, the sofa covers were washed very clean, and everything was in good order.
"Auntie, have some tea, be careful it's hot."
Lu Ming took the teacup and placed it in front of Lin Wanwan.
"Your name is Li Qingran, right?"
“Yes, Auntie,” Li Qingran glanced at Lu Ming, then looked at Lin Wanwan with some unease.
"Don't be afraid. Lu Ming told me everything that happened at school. This time, your aunt brought Lu Ming here to apologize. He acted too impulsively, which is why he dragged you into this."
Li Qingran immediately stood up from the sofa, waved her hands and said, "Auntie, it's not like that. It's my fault that Lu Ming was also punished. I should apologize."
Lin Wanwan reached out and pulled her to sit down. "Don't be nervous, sit down. This isn't your fault."
Li Qingran sat on the sofa, head bowed in dejection.
"Qingran, is the school going to expel you?"
Li Qingran nodded with red eyes, "The school said I instigated conflict among classmates, causing them to fight, and that I have character issues, so they want to expel me."
Lin Wanwan nodded. "Where did you go just now?"
“I need to find a job. My family is struggling financially. Since I can no longer go to school, I naturally need to find a job to ease my mother’s burden.”
"How's the search going?"
Li Qingran shook her head. "I'm too young and don't have the education for any decent jobs. The only job I can do is as a restaurant server."
Don't you want to continue your studies?
Li Qingran looked up at her and said, "I want to, but I was fired. I don't want to make things difficult for my mom; she's already exhausted."
"I heard from Lu Ming that you study very hard and have excellent grades."
Li Qingran glanced at Lu Ming beside her, "He doesn't have as good grades as Lu Ming."
Lin Wanwan chuckled softly, "You two are both outstanding, one ranked first in the whole school and the other second."
Li Qingran gave an awkward smile.
"What's the use? I won't be able to study anymore."
"Leave the school to Auntie. Just tell me you still want to study, and Auntie will definitely help you."
Li Qingran looked at her with surprise and delight. "Auntie, of course I want to study. You've seen our family's situation. I'm studying hard so that I can get a good job in the future and make my family's life better."
"That's fine, but there's one thing you have to promise Auntie."
Li Qingran nodded and looked at her.
"Since you want to study, you must promise your aunt that you will get into a good university."
"Auntie, don't worry, I will study hard and won't let you down."
