Mo Junyao's eyes fell on Lan You's face affectionately, "Wherever you are, there I will be."
The next day.
Lu Wanying stood in the corridor of the classroom, looking at the plane passing by in the sky not far away, her eyes drifting into the distance.
Did Sister You leave on this plane?
She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed sincerely, "Sister You, I hope you wake up soon."
Several weeks passed in a flash.
Lan You and Mo Junyao's dropping out of school didn't seem to have any impact on Qinghe, but no one talked about Lan You anymore.
During this period, Chu Xinrou was humble and polite, and did her job conscientiously. She even used her own private savings of 5 million yuan to reward students who had good grades but were not from wealthy families.
Each person can get at least 100,000 yuan, which is a great act of kindness for those whose families are not well-off.
With An Xinghe's grades, he could have gotten at least 400,000 yuan, but he didn't apply, so he doesn't care who gets the money.
Even Lou Zhijing was still sighing beside him, "Xinghe, why didn't you apply? 400,000 yuan, enough to pay for three years of tuition. Did something go wrong with your brain? What do you usually work so hard as a tutor for? Isn't it just for the money, to support your family? Don't you think you're being a little... pretentious this time?"
This was the first time he had insulted Xinghe like that. After he finished speaking, he glanced at his profile nervously.
Calm and without any disturbance.
This made Lou Zhijing even more angry, and he continued to complain, "This money is a waste. Besides, you got it based on your grades, so you fully meet the requirements."
"You dare to take dirty money?" An Xinghe retorted calmly.
"Dirty money? Chu Xinrou's money is not clean?" Lou Zhijing asked curiously.
Seeing him silent, Lou Zhijing started talking again, "How do you know this is dirty money? Even if it is, I'll take it if I can give it to you, but if you don't want it, forget it, lest you feel uncomfortable holding it. Just do it as much as you can."
An Xinghe ignored his words.
Lou Zhijing never mentioned the money again.
.........
Lu Wanying was called to the hospital again. While running frantically, tears kept falling down her face. She felt like she had a heart attack and was in excruciating pain.
Last week, An Xinghe still didn't come for the remedial class, and her grades in the quiz had dropped terribly, not even 300 points.
Lu Rong was very anxious and asked An Xinghe indirectly whether he had finished his work.
Lu Wanying had no choice but to lie, "Not yet."
Seeing Lu Rong's disappointed look, she added, "Dad, Xinghe will soon be in his third year of high school. He will definitely be getting busier and busier. He may not be able to give me extra lessons in the future, so I don't plan to do so."
Lu Rong rejected her idea outright, anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "How can you not make up for this? You're going to be a sophomore in high school soon, and it's going to get harder and harder. If you don't study hard now, you won't be able to learn later."
Lu Wanying looked at his anxious look, her lips moved, and she wanted to say that she didn't plan to take the college entrance examination, but she didn't say it in the end.
Although she had discussed the issue of taking the college entrance exam with her father before, she still said it so suddenly, and her father would be furious.
"No, you must make up this lesson. Xinghe doesn't have time to come, so I will find a teacher from a training institution to make up for it for you." Lu Rong said in a firm voice.
Lu Wanying retorted, "Dad, the tuition fees for tutoring outside are really too high. We can't afford it, and I can't concentrate on learning. It's really unnecessary."
Lu Rong didn't believe it. "How do you know you can't learn it if you haven't tried it? I'll invite a teacher over next week."
She came back to her senses from her memories, quickly wiped the cold tears from her face, and rushed into the ward.
"Dad, are you okay?"
The doctor beside her looked at Lu Wanying and repeatedly reminded her, "You are Lu Rong's family member, right? I have to tell you something. Your father's left hand should not do any heavy work for the next month. It can't withstand the tossing and turning. Your father is lucky that it didn't become disabled this time, but he won't be so lucky next time."
"Thank you, doctor." Lu Wanying said gratefully.
The doctor and nurse then left.
Lu Wanying looked at Lu Rong. His left hand was in a sling with gauze, his left leg was in a cast, his face was pale, and he looked extremely seriously ill.
Her already red and swollen eyes could not control her tears, which kept falling like beads falling from a string.
Lu Rong looked extremely distressed and comforted her, "Wanying, Dad is fine, don't cry."
Lu Wanying kept crying, and her tears flowed as abundantly as a trickle of water.
Lu Rong moved his body anxiously and cried out in pain.
Lu Wanying looked at him worriedly, "Dad, are you okay? Do you want me to call the nurse?"
"Dad is fine." Lu Rong's face turned even paler.
Self-blame and guilt flooded Lu Wanying's heart. "Dad, it's all my fault. You went back to work on the construction site because you had to pay for my tutoring. That's why you got so badly injured."
"But Dad... have you ever thought about how I feel? Your left hand can't do heavy work, why did you go to work on the construction site without telling me? Do you think I can feel at ease using this money stained with my father's blood to pay for tutoring? I will only feel more guilty and self-blame. Dad, don't overdraw your body because of money. If something happens to you, how can I still study with peace of mind? Not to mention taking the college entrance examination." Lu Wanying's face was bitter.
Lu Rong looked at her sad face with distressed eyes, his eyelashes trembling.
Did he really do something wrong?
"Wanying, I..."
Lu Wanying interrupted him, immersed in her own self-blame, unable to extricate herself, "Dad, have you ever thought about what I would do if your left hand was disabled? Is it more important to go to college safely and healthily? Am I, your daughter, so useless in other aspects? Dad, there is one thing I have never told you." Lu Wanying was silent for a moment, with a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
"Xinghe and I broke up because of Chu Xinrou." Her voice was low, but there was a hint of emptiness in it.
Lu Rong opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "What?"
Lu Wanying looked at him, her voice as calm as a lake, "Yes, when I told you he was busy, we had already broken up."
Lu Rong's eyes gradually darkened, and his face showed a hint of anger. "That Chu Xinrou is really too much. It's a pity that you treated her so well before."
"Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past."
Lu Rong looked at her with even more heartache.
"Dad, you should take good care of your injuries now. Promise me that you won't do any heavy work in the future. I don't plan to give you extra lessons. As for your grades... let them take their own course." Lu Wanying said quietly.
Lu Rong wanted to say something, but seeing her pretending to be calm, he didn't want to say anything.
Forget it, why do you want to be so successful?
Isn’t it good to be happy?
Lu Rong has finally come to terms with it.
But aren’t Chu Xinrou and the Chu family going a little too far?
