Chapter 4 She Doesn't Have Such a Brother
Lu Ning lowered her head, covered her mouth and started coughing violently.
Her back was thin and she was bent over, as if she could cough out her lungs.
Lu Bei said in a stern tone, "Don't think I won't teach you a lesson just because you're pretending to be sick. I asked you to take care of Xiangxiang at school, to get her water and food, and yet you asked her, a sick person, to do it for you! Not only did you not appreciate it, you even deliberately tripped Xiangxiang. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Lu Ning suppressed a cough and said, "I didn't push her, she pushed herself..."
"Are you trying to say that Xiangxiang fell because she didn't stand firmly? Do you think I will believe such a poor excuse? Do you admit that you did it on purpose?"
Lu Ning's eyes were sore and she straightened her back: "I don't admit it."
With a loud slap, a slap hit her face, and she felt a burning pain instantly.
But no matter how much pain she felt on her face, it couldn't compare to the hurt she felt deep in her heart.
The pain is numb.
"Old Four, what are you doing?"
Lu Nanfeng strode in and grabbed the angry Lu Bei.
"Second brother, she did such a vicious thing and still refuses to admit it. I don't have such a cruel and unrepentant sister!"
Qin Xiang stood at the door with gauze wrapped around her hands, looking pitiful.
With red eyes, she said, "Fourth brother, I've already said it's my fault. It has nothing to do with Sister Ningning."
"Xiangxiang, you are just too kind. I must teach Lu Ning a lesson today, to prevent her from learning bad things!"
When Lu Bei was about to make a move, Ji Chiqian pulled out a chair with a swishing sound, and the floor made a harsh sound.
Lu Ning looked over when she heard the voice.
Ji Chiqian had a blank expression on his face, half leaning against the table, his brows clear and cold: "Are you the students' family members?"
Lu Nanfeng nodded: "Yes, we are her brothers."
"She has a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius and is suspected of having an infection. She needs further examination. She also has low blood sugar and is a bit malnourished!"
Lu Bei was a little surprised: "Is she really sick?"
He thought Lu Ning was pretending to be sick to avoid responsibility!
Ji Chiqian said slowly, "Then you should go check if there is something wrong with your eyes. You can't even see something so obvious."
This girl is pale and looks sick. Isn't it hard to tell that she is sick?
Lu Bei was choked: "What do you mean!"
Ji Chiqian frowned and said in a cold voice: "Literally, although she is your adopted stepsister, since you have raised her, you must be responsible."
When Lu Ning heard the word "stepsister", there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Lu Nanfeng quickly explained: "She is my biological sister, not adopted."
Ji Chiqian raised his eyebrows: "You need a magnifying glass to see this. If you hadn't said you were family members, I would have called the police: Someone here is committing violence against a minor!"
Seeing Lu Ning's red and swollen face, Lu Bei said in a bad tone: "What do you know? I'm teaching her!"
Lu Nanfeng was speechless.
He thought Lu Ning was in good health and would not get sick like Qin Xiang did after falling into the water.
Lu Bei looked at Ji Chiqian with disdain: "You don't know, Lu Ning always likes to feign illness to evade responsibility, and this time she deliberately let Xiangxiang get hurt. Xiangxiang's father died trying to save her. Sometimes I really want to dig open her heart to see if she is really evil!"
Lu Ning's throat was burning with pain. She wanted to explain herself, but in the end she said nothing.
Even if she told them, it would be useless because they wouldn't believe her anyway.
Qin Xiang bit her lip and said, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have been so clumsy and I shouldn't have tried to get food for Sister Ningning."
"It's indeed your fault."
Ji Chiqian's eyes were cold and he said, "Since you are sick and need an IV, you shouldn't go to the classroom. Even if you know you are sick, you shouldn't go and cause trouble for others. Don't pretend that you are weak and you are right."
Lu Ning's eyes widened instantly, staring blankly at the venomous school doctor in front of her.
He actually speaks for himself?
Does he believe her?
Lu Ning's eyes instantly turned red. Even a stranger knew this truth, but her brothers didn't understand it.
Or maybe they actually understood, but were biased towards Qin Xiang and didn't want to understand.
Qin Xiang's expression froze instantly, and she gritted her teeth secretly. What does this school doctor mean?
Didn’t you see that she still had to cook for Lu Ning even though she was sick?
Why wasn't the school doctor moved by her kind-hearted behavior, but instead spoke up for Lu Ning?
This isn't right. It works every time she uses it.
Qin Xiang couldn't utter a word for a long time and could only lower his head in grievance.
Lu Bei stepped forward to defend Qin Xiang: "Xiangxiang came to class even though she was sick because the college entrance exam was less than a hundred days away and she couldn't fall behind. She had good intentions and wanted to ease the relationship with Lu Ning, but unfortunately some people didn't appreciate it."
Lu Ning just felt it was ironic.
When she went out in the morning, her fourth brother told her to take good care of Qin Xiang and serve her tea and water. Wouldn't it affect her studies if she did these things?
It turns out that he also knew that the college entrance examination would be held in less than a hundred days.
It’s just that her exam is not as important as Qin Xiang’s.
Lu Nanfeng said, "Old Four, take Xiangxiang back to recuperate first."
“Second brother!”
"You don't listen to what I say?"
Lu Bei shut up and left with Qin Xiang.
The infirmary became quiet again.
Lu Nanfeng frowned: "Ningning, if you don't want to take care of Qin Xiang, fine, but you are not allowed to do such things again in the future."
Lu Ning kept her head down. Her throat was hurting and she didn't want to say a word.
She pulled the quilt over her head.
Don't want to see them again.
"Lu Ning, if you keep acting like this, I can't protect you anymore."
Lu Nanfeng was also a little annoyed.
He reached out and pulled back the quilt: "Come back with me and we'll talk!"
I have to talk to Lu Ning today.
Qin Xiang can't continue to be hurt.
Ji Chiqian held Lu Nanfeng's arm, his eyes cold and icy: "She can only leave after this infusion is finished. Family members, please wait outside!"
Ji Chiqian's eyes were cold and arrogant, with an expression that meant he would not tolerate rejection.
Lu Ning looked up in surprise, seeing him standing in front of his second brother, his back looking extremely tall.
She noticed a scar on his wrist, scarlet and ugly, which was particularly eye-catching.
She also has such a scar on her leg, left by a car accident when she was a child.
Did he also experience a car accident?
Lu Nanfeng showed no sign of weakness: "I am her brother. I want to take her back. There is a doctor at home."
"If you have a doctor at home, why did you let her have a fever for so long?"
Seeing Lu Ning's pale face, Lu Nanfeng replied with a guilty conscience, "She herself didn't tell me she was sick."
And he also wanted to touch Lu Ning's forehead in the morning, but she dodged his hand.
Can you blame him for this?
Maybe Lu Ning was deliberately delaying the treatment of her illness in order to evade responsibility.
Ji Chiqian said in an unhappy voice: "Sir, if you want to take her away by force, I will call the police and say that you are abusing a minor. And according to the law, if a child suffers from domestic violence, she can apply for personal safety protection."
"I'm her biological brother and her guardian!"
"But just now, I saw you beating her and committing violence. There's also surveillance footage here as evidence. I believe the officer will make a truthful judgment!"
Ji Chiqian was calm and unhurried, but he didn't give in at all: "She doesn't want to go with you now, you have no right to force her."
Lu Ning's heart trembled slightly, and she secretly glanced at the man standing in front of her.
