"Since you know this, don't keep me in suspense and just tell me directly." Lu Wanying said straightforwardly.
"The reason you pushed me is because you know Mo Junyao, right?" Lan You looked at her sharply.
It seems that she still doesn't know that the robbery at noon was done by her. Now that she has been found out, she doesn't try to hide it. "Yes, Mo Junyao is well-known in Qinghe. It's not surprising that I know him."
"You want to use me to deal with Chu Xinrou, am I right?" Lan You acted as if he knew everything, which made Lu Wanying panic.
She stood up excitedly. "Lan You, don't talk nonsense. Why would I deal with Chu Xinrou? I just dislike her. Besides, are you qualified to use you to deal with Chu Xinrou? Chu Xinrou is a top figure in Qinghe."
"Don't get excited, it's like I hit the nail on the head." Lan You looked calm, making Lu Wanying look even more out of control.
She gradually calmed her breathing and sat down.
"On the surface, you are praising Chu Xinrou, but what you want to express more is that Chu Xinrou's status in Qinghe is not something that ordinary people can shake. I can help you, but you must listen to me and not act recklessly." Lan You said in a resounding voice.
Lu Wanying looked at her in disbelief, "You help me? Why should I trust you?"
Lan You said bluntly, "My personality and Chu Xinrou's seemingly pure but inwardly innocent nature are incompatible."
This body had no good feelings towards Chu Xinrou in the first place, and after spending a brief time with Chu Xinrou at noon today, she was able to see Xinrou clearly.
"White Lotus?" Lu Wanying muttered in a daze. When she came to her senses, her face was full of smiles. She suddenly stood up, made a respectful gesture towards Lan You, and said proudly, "Sister You, please accept my greeting."
Lan You was really shocked by this sudden change in attitude, but she still liked this personality.
"Okay, everyone is watching you, sit down quickly." Lan You said with a smile.
"Sister You, do you and Chu Xinrou have any grudges?" Lu Wanying pretended to be gossipy.
"This is complicated. I'll tell you when the time is right."
Lan You answered truthfully, but to Lu Wanying it sounded perfunctory. However, she smiled with a hidden dagger in her heart, "Sister You, you just said Chu Xinrou is a white lotus. That's a perfect description. She looks innocent and harmless, but who knows how many invisible silver needles are hidden under the petals that can hurt people."
She had experienced it thoroughly once.
"Let's leave a phone number so we can contact each other."
After the two added their contact information, Lan You left.
Lu Wanying's smile gradually disappeared.
Although Lan You extended an olive branch to her, she would not easily believe her. It was Lan You who ruined her plan at noon, which caused her plan to fail.
Lu Wanying returned to the small and dark rental house with her schoolbag on her back. Looking at her father with white hair supporting his waist with his hands, her eyes became misty and moist.
"Dad, did you go to the construction site to work again? Didn't I tell you not to go?" Although Lu Wanying blamed him, she took the plate from him on her own initiative.
Lu Rong smiled kindly, without a single complaint, "Yingying, while Daddy still has the strength and can still work, work harder and earn more money so that I can support you through college in the future."
These words touched Lu Wanying's heart, and her eyes became even moister. Her father's appearance in front of her became blurry, but the white hair on his temples and his dark and tired face became clearer and clearer.
My father is only in his 40s, and he has been aging faster since Lu’s bankruptcy.
All this was because of her, and she felt even more remorseful and guilty.
"Dad, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Her emotions suddenly broke down and she hugged Lu Rong tightly.
There was no trace of blame on Lu Rong's face. He patted her on the back and comforted her, "Yingying, this is over. Don't blame yourself anymore. It's a pity that Yingying has to suffer with her father."
Lu Wanying's tears flowed down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. She said with a choked voice, "Yingying doesn't feel the hardship. Dad, can you promise me that you won't have to work on the construction site anymore? It's too hard there."
Lu Wanying couldn't imagine her father doing heavy work under the scorching sun. It turned out that these hands were used for signing and making decisions.
But now his warm hands are covered with calluses and scars.
"Yingying, is there any job in this world that is not hard? Fortunately, this one makes money quickly. Although our life cannot be as rich as before, Dad will try his best to let you live a good life. Dad only hopes that you will study hard and go to college. When you graduate, Dad will do nothing and just wait for you to support me." Lu Rong swallowed the sadness and fatigue behind him and said with a smile.
"Okay, Yingying, no matter what you do in the future, you will take good care of Dad." A trace of guilt flashed across Lu Wanying's eyes. With her current grades, she probably has no hope of getting into university.
She really wanted to study hard, even for her father, but she was always distracted while sitting in the classroom. She had an unstable mind and had mediocre grades since she was a child. After this series of things happened, she was even less able to concentrate on her studies.
She even lied to her father about going out to work part-time to earn money under the pretext of studying.
"Dad, but you have to promise me that I can only go five days a week, okay?" Lu Wanying looked at him with heartache.
Lu Rong nodded.
Lu Wanying leaned against him, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. I will definitely make those who owe our Lu family pay the corresponding price.

On Monday, the competition agreed upon between Lin Yan and Lan You was shelved as neither party took the initiative to bring it up.
Wednesday soon arrived, the day before the National Day holiday. The National Day Gala was held in a large auditorium that could accommodate more than 3,000 people. The gala started at 5:30.
Around four o'clock, most students who are about to perform start dressing up backstage.
There is no strict admission requirement for students to this party. Everyone can enter with a ticket, which means it is open to everyone in Haishi.
As long as you have a ticket, you can go in and watch.
A scalper was standing outside the campus gate, holding tickets and selling them. "With this ticket, you can not only visit the most famous school in Hai City, but also see beautiful women. If you're chosen by someone, billions of dollars will be yours. The most attractive thing is that it's rumored that Qinghe's school beauty, Chu Xinrou, will not only be the host, but will also have a fantastic solo dance. A ticket is worth a fortune, but I'll only sell it to you for 500. Don't miss this opportunity."
The scalper was very eloquent and sold out the dozen or so tickets he had very quickly, with a smile on his face.
Lu Wanying, who was about to go in with the ticket in her hand, was very annoyed when she heard this. 500 yuan per ticket was simply too expensive, and there were still many boys willing to buy it.
Are you all blind? What is there to see in Chu Xinrou?
She would think even a penny was too much, so the ticket in her hand was picked up.
