After being reborn, Lu Chuqing suddenly encountered her scumbag ex-husband and his family from her previous life, and her mood was filled with resentment all day long.
Unfortunately, she lacks the power to do anything right now; all she can do is talk back to that woman, which ultimately benefits her.
Lying in bed, trying to calm her resentment, she glanced at the woman in front of the dressing table and saw her eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought for a long time.
She knew that Lu Ying had gone to see an old classmate during the day, but she didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.
She rolled her eyes and asked in a childish voice, "Mommy, I heard from my aunt that you went to see your old classmates today. Is that why you're unhappy?"
Lu Ying was taken aback when she heard this, and then looked at the little dumpling on the bed.
She hadn't expected the little dumpling to be so perceptive, able to tell at a glance that she was unhappy.
Looking at her daughter's adorable little face and her dark eyes full of concern, she felt a strong urge to confide in her.
"Mom wasn't unhappy, she was just feeling emotional after suddenly meeting her old classmate whom she hadn't seen for a long time."
The woman said with a faint smile.
Lu Chuqing felt a little strange for a moment, but couldn't figure out why, so she didn't think about it anymore.
It's truly touching to suddenly meet an old classmate.
Especially when you see that the other person is doing better than you.
As Lu Chuqing was thinking of comforting words, Lu Ying hugged her and began to coax her to sleep, "Alright, little baby, it's bedtime, quickly close your eyes!"
The young body couldn't resist the sleepiness, and after the woman coaxed her a couple of times, a deep sleepiness swept over her, and she fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Looking at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, Lu Ying recalled what Du Zheng had said during the day.
"It's okay, I'm willing to wait."
Lying in bed with her eyes closed, her mind was filled with distress.
What a load of nonsense!
Lu Ying really couldn't understand it. She and Du Zheng weren't very familiar with each other back then; at most, they were just sitting close to each other and their faces were familiar.
How come I've remembered her for so many years?
There are three siblings. The eldest brother, Lu Jun, only went to primary school. The second brother, Lu Hang, was the best student and went to junior college. She was just barely above average in her studies, and by high school, she was below average.
She probably came from a family that wasn't too poor, and her parents and brothers doted on her, never putting any pressure on her. So she didn't care too much about her studies, and she was also a simple and easy-going person.
Conditions were tough back then, and families that could afford to send their children to school were relatively well-off, so she didn't think her family was any better off than some of her classmates.
Furthermore, Lu Yongkang never boasted about how good his family's circumstances were; what he said to her most often was—
Your dad doesn't do much, but he can provide for my daughter for the rest of her life. Just focus on your studies; you don't need to be number one in anything, just be happy every day!
Because of this, she never felt that she was anything special, so much so that she was quite surprised when she later heard her classmates calling her "little princess" in private.
She remembered that Du Zheng, who sat behind her, was very hardworking. He was always the first to arrive at school and the last to leave, and he always came in first in every quiz.
Her deskmate at the time was a girl who often borrowed Du Zheng's homework to copy, and sometimes even asked her to do it too.
Although she wasn't very attentive to her studies, influenced by her intellectual second brother, Lu Hang, she always completed her homework on her own, regardless of whether she knew it or not, so she never copied his assignments.
The two didn't have a very good relationship.
The only time we talked the most was when we were sharing the peaches.
After she gave it to Du Zheng's deskmate, the person jokingly thanked her, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness."
She happened to be assigned to Du Zheng, and the man said after taking the card, "Thank you, Your Highness."
She already found the title absurd and didn't like it much, and now that they were calling her that in front of her, she immediately frowned and spoke to them seriously.
“We’re all classmates here to study, not to have any special status. I don’t like how you called me just now. If it happens again, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
That was the first time she was "unapproachable" in her classmates' impression of her as "easy to talk to," and her tense expression stunned many people in the class.
Anyway, she never heard anyone call her that again after that, and she graduated not long after.
So many years have passed, and she can only vaguely recall the situation back then. She can't even remember the name of her female classmate from back then, and her appearance has become blurry. Not to mention Du Zheng, whom she barely spoke to.
If it weren't for that unexpected encounter that night, and the fact that the other person recognized her first, she would never have remembered having such an old classmate.
Not to mention, this old classmate seemed to have had feelings for her back then?!
Lu Ying rolled over in bed, only one thought still in her mind—
Unbelievable.
Time passed day by day, and in mid-August, it was Lu Chuqing's birthday.
Early in the morning, Lu Chengyang cheerfully asked her if she knew what day it was. She was still sleepy and thought some distant relatives were coming to visit.
Grandpa Lu Yongkang was sharpening a knife, catching chickens, and even went to the fishpond to catch two fish.
Grandma Cai Min and Aunt Chai Shuhua were busy in the kitchen early in the morning; if you didn't know better, you'd think it was almost Chinese New Year!
Then Lu Chengyang took her to Song Tianhao's house to play. When they returned at noon, she realized it was her birthday when she saw the big cake that Lu Ying had bought.
It's no wonder she can't remember; in her previous life, she basically never celebrated her birthday.
If you think about it carefully, you can count the number of times you celebrated your birthday in your past life on one hand, and you've forgotten about it over time.
Seeing her family busy preparing for her birthday, Lu Chuqing was so moved she almost cried.
Because it's her birthday today, she's sitting in the very center of the table, wearing a golden paper birthday hat, and her family is singing "Happy Birthday" to her.
