Chapter 33 Chapter 33 What are you thinking about? …
The Lu couple looked at each other awkwardly. Mrs. Lu was afraid that this would trigger another asthma attack on the other party, so she quickly softened her voice to comfort him.
Lu Ran's overly intense reaction made Lu Ji take another look at him.
He knew that this person had always been very exclusive to him.
But something seemed wrong just now.
It's not disgust, it's more like fear of something.
Why should Lu Ran be afraid? Are you afraid that after you enter Class 11, you will take away his position?
That wouldn't scare me like this.
Or is there something in Class 11... or someone, that Lu Ran doesn't want him to come into contact with?
Lu Ji lowered his eyes to hide the gloomy look in them.
Lu Ran found him annoying, but he found Lu Ran annoying even more.
This clearly belongs to his life and his family. Isn’t it enough that Lu Ran has taken it away for eighteen years?
If you know what's best for you, just leave now.
Lu Ji's nails dug deep into the flesh of his palm.
But in the past few days, he has clearly seen Lu Ran's position in the family.
He didn't want to see his mother sad, the mother who was so gentle to him.
This was the first time in his life that he felt what family love was.
So even if he didn't like Lu Ran, he was still trying to get him to stop making trouble and live in peace with him.
It seems that the current breakthrough point is Class 11.
He had to find out the reason behind Lu Ran's sudden attack, and it would be best if he could get some evidence.
Lu Ji didn't want to continue watching them perform the family harmony drama here, so he simply made an excuse and left.
As soon as he came out, he ran into someone he didn't want to see.
"I just saw you." Lin Chunmei stared at the other person, her mouth drooping naturally, looking very miserable, "You seem to be living well in your new family."
Lu Ji frowned in disgust and wanted to walk around it.
But Lin Chunmei blocked his way again, never taking her eyes off him: "You forgot your old wife when you got a new one, you have no conscience. I raised you for so many years, but you didn't even call me when we met."
Unable to escape, Lu Ji stopped and looked coldly at the woman in front of him, whom he had called mother for more than ten years.
"I am concerned about you, too. Why are you being so rude to me?" Lin Chunmei slowed down her tone and gave her adopted son a forced smile. "How does your current family treat you?"
"That woman not only wanted to take you away, but she also refused to give her possessions back to me. She was so reluctant to let you go. You must have had a hard time there, right?"
"What does it have to do with you whether it's a good life or not?" Lu Ji's tone was very cold, "Your biological son is in there, why don't you go and see him."
"I, I'm not here to see him." Lin Chunmei said while looking at his expression, "After all, he wasn't raised by my side, so he's always a little bit worse. The one I gave birth to is the same, he has no conscience at all, he didn't even want to come back to see me.
"Don't think we're poor. After all, I've raised you for so many years, and we're the only ones who stand by you. Those rich people must be hard to get along with. I wonder how they secretly despise you for being unsophisticated."
"But it doesn't matter if there's no affection. What matters most is getting some benefits. How much pocket money do they give you every month now?"
Having said that, Lu Ji already knew the other party's purpose in coming to see him.
He had no room for retreat: "Don't even think about it. I won't give you another penny."
Lin Chunmei's eyes widened suddenly: "You..."
She looked like she was about to curse, but she held back: "You can't give up your original home just because you have become successful."
"Even if you don't care about us old bones, do you not want your brother anymore? Do you really have the heart to watch him be a deaf-mute for the rest of his life and not even be able to find a wife? When we are all gone, who will take care of him, huh?"
Lin Chunmei became more and more excited as she spoke, and even pushed him with her hands.
Lu Ji grabbed Lin Chunmei's arm tightly. He looked at the woman in front of him and suppressed the sadness and bitterness in his heart.
He had been looking forward to it.
That's why when the man was frantically asking for money, he stood in front of Lin Chunmei and refused to give in, even though he was beaten black and blue in the end.
So no matter how much Lin Chunmei favored her brother, he just silently comforted himself that the deaf and mute people did need more care.
He had been deceiving himself.
No mother would remain completely indifferent when her child is beaten in front of her.
No matter how much you take care of a disabled child, you can't be so partial as to let the other one work to earn money for treatment while he is still in school.
Lin Chunmei has always had a vague malice towards him. To put it mildly, she is suppressing him, and to put it more seriously, she just can't bear to see him do well.
After the high school entrance examination, he received a call from the admissions office of Guanli Middle School.
He originally thought this was a good opportunity to change his destiny.
Guanli not only has school-level scholarships, but also many types of corporate scholarships, the amount of which is very considerable. As long as he studies hard, he can also use this to improve his family's financial conditions.
During the online interview that day, I clearly asked them to keep quiet and not let anyone else in.
Even his silly brother knew about this, but Lin Chunmei would knock on his door from time to time to ask about irrelevant things, talk loudly outside, and even walk in directly and sit next to him without saying a word.
It was just an interview process, but in the end I lost the qualification.
He didn't understand something at first, but after he learned about his own life experience, he suddenly guessed something.
Lu Ji stared at the other person and asked word by word: "You knew about this a long time ago?"
"...Or was it you who actually replaced the two of us back then?"
Lin Chunmei's face changed drastically, and she shook off Lu Ji's hand: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
After saying this, she looked at Lu Ji in surprise and doubt: "Where did you hear these words?"
If it were the Lu family couple, she would be dead.
Lu Ji did not answer and let her guess.
Lin Chunmei didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear that someone in the ward would suddenly come out to look for her. She stumbled as she left in a hurry.
Looking at Lin Chunmei's reaction, Lu Ji was basically able to confirm this guess.
He put his hand on the door handle again, hesitated for a long time, but finally did not open it.
He has no way to tell the Lu couple about this matter now.
After all, it's all speculation. He hasn't found any evidence yet. If they confront each other again, Lin Chunmei will probably deny it.
Besides...he and that family aren't that close yet, so he doesn't know how to talk about these things, and he doesn't dare to think about how they will react.
Take your time.
Lu Ji slowly loosened his hands, closed his eyes, and said to himself in his heart.
It will definitely get better and better.
-"Senior Song--" Zheng Ying leaned over the window and asked sadly, "Why is Senior Xia not here again today?"
Song Yinxing came back to his senses and looked at the girl outside.
It took him a while to realize who the girl was referring to as Senior Sister Xia.
"Why are you here?" Song Yinxing's deskmate couldn't help but tease him. He and Zheng Ying were old acquaintances. "Look at you, what's the point of chasing after a girl every day?"
"Just do your thing and mind your own business." Zheng Ying snorted coldly, "Senior Xia is not only pretty, but also has good grades. If I don't pursue such an outstanding person, why would I pursue you?"
"Wow." The classmate was amused. "How can her grades be good? Hasn't she always been ranked in the middle of the class? Don't be so picky."
"Senior is a special recruit, so she must have had a good foundation before. Now she has no time because she is too busy with her part-time job."
"She has no time, that's her own fault. If she's short of money, why doesn't she just focus on studying hard and get more scholarships? When did our school become a platform for internet celebrities to gain luster?"
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Zheng Ying was so angry that her voice choked and her face was full of unhappiness.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about her anymore." My deskmate surrendered and changed the subject, "Have you heard about the Lu family incident?"
"Lu family?" Zheng Ying frowned. "Are you talking about the real or fake young master of their family?"
"Is this true?" My deskmate was very happy. "I didn't believe it at first. Your family has a good relationship with the Lu family, so it must be true."
"No, don't believe in rumors or spread them. I just heard it from others." Zheng Ying raised her hands and made a cross.
"What real and fake young master?" Song Yinxing asked.
"I've never seen such a thing before. How come our university bully, who is oblivious to what's happening outside, is still concerned about this matter today?"
His classmate kindly gave him some information: "The Lu family owns an entertainment company with many popular artists. The super popular Cheng Zishi in recent years is from their family."
"They took a child back earlier, saying that he was the twin brother of the second young master. But in fact, the new young master was indeed their child, but the original second young master was a fake. He was taken away by mistake in the hospital that year."
It's different again.
Song Yinxing thought.
"Where did you hear this?"
"It came from Class 11. It's normal for them to know something from their classmates. Hey, the sun is really rising from the west today. Why are you asking so many questions?"
It came from Class 11.
Gu Yang was right there.
After school, Song Yinxing went to Class 11 to look for someone.
Through the glass, he looked at the people inside.
Looking at the thin and frail figure, someone called him, he turned his head, his pale and beautiful profile paused, he seemed to be saying something with a prickly smile, the person opposite him instantly showed an embarrassed expression.
They met once in their previous life. It should be said that he met the other party once unilaterally.
It was a KTV party where he was working as a temporary worker. He happened to run into Nie Ying, who was looking for trouble and knocked over a bottle of wine. She asked him to kneel on the ground and pick up the glass shards with his hands.
The lackey next to him immediately started to make a fuss, saying that the bottle of wine was valuable and he had to lick it clean.
The noise was getting louder and louder, as if he would be embarrassed if he didn't do it.
The manager on duty couldn't afford to offend these guests, so he simply kept out of the matter.
At this time, the outside door was pushed open.
But the people who were causing the commotion were so excited that they didn't notice this small detail at all. Some of them even went up to him, grabbed his hair, and forced him to kneel down.
Until a voice sounded: "Is the place you brought me to an SM club?"
The voice carried a sense of careless weariness, but the words it composed were quite explosive.
The atmosphere in the whole venue froze instantly.
The lackey who had originally challenged him was stunned and slowly loosened his hand.
He looked up subconsciously.
He was a very handsome young man, wearing a wide windbreaker with a big lapel. He was tall and slender, leaning lazily against the door.
The person standing next to him was Gu Qingxu. His face, which was always self-contained and arrogant, now had an indescribable subtlety.
"Just killing time." Nie Ying said without changing her expression, "Why are you saying such dirty things?"
Hearing this, the young man suddenly laughed. His temperament was gloomy and indifferent, and even when he laughed, there was an indescribable coldness in him.
"As expected, dirty people see everything as dirty, Nie Ying."
He didn't know what happened next because the manager on duty gave him a look and told him to leave quickly.
That was the first time he saw someone dare to talk back to Nie Ying like that.
It's not because of confidence, but it's like not caring about anything and just being casual about it.
Inside the classroom, Gu Yang saw him and walked out immediately.
"What do you want from me?"
Compared with the fully grown appearance as an adult, Song Yinxing actually saw immaturity in the current Gu Yang.
"As I said before, I want to thank you for your help during this period." Song Yinxing looked at him, "I've thought about it."
Gu Yang's interest was immediately piqued.
Because Song Yinxing was very poor, what he could give was not something that could be bought with money.
This way he will be more interested.
After leaving the school, Song Yinxing took him to a building.
After entering, Gu Yang looked around and asked, "What is this? An immersive role-playing love hotel?"
Song Yinxing almost lost his grip on the card in his hand. He looked at Gu Yang expressionlessly, not knowing what was in the other person's mind.
“…24-hour self-study room.”
This was the first time in Gu Yang’s life that he had set foot in such a place.
Song Yinxing pulled a chair for him to sit down, and then sat next to him.
Gu Yang's interest was gradually aroused to the peak.
Song Yinxing put down his schoolbag, searched inside, slowly took out a book and placed it in front of Gu Yang.
There were a few words clearly written on the book.
"Five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation."
