Chapter 21



What happened was that after Lu Nong entered the school, Pei Zheng also followed him into the school, and Han Lu and several others followed Pei Zheng into the school.

They were hiding in a building outside the school, but once they entered the school they were directly exposed to the scorching sun... they were very conspicuous.

In addition, they were following someone and their behavior was suspicious and furtive, so the security guard who passed by became suspicious when he saw them. My goodness, there are still such brazen bad guys nowadays.

He suspected that Pei Zheng, who was holding the child and acting stealthily in front of him, was a child trafficker.

It is suspected that Han Lu and his gang, who were following Pei Zheng stealthily, were thugs who came to the school with the human traffickers to do bad things.

But before the security guard could come forward to ask, the human trafficker and the thugs started fighting among themselves. The human trafficker was quite fierce. He fought a draw with the thugs even with the child in his arms.

Upon seeing this, the security guard quickly went back to the house and called another security guard who had served in the military to stop the fight between the traffickers and the thugs, and in the process captured both groups of people.

After hearing the whole story, Lu Nong said: "..."

It was so embarrassing. She really wanted to say that she didn't know them. She didn't know any of them, not even the one who ran after the dog.

Yes... When the puppy was having fun in the house and passed by Gu Xiaohuai, Gu Xiaohuai, who had been hugging his mother's thigh for a short while, immediately let go and chased after the dog.

If she could go back in time, she would never have agreed to let the guard go with him to the guard room.

Lu Nong explained with difficulty: "What he said is true. His name is Pei Zheng, and I am his stepmother, Lu Nong. This child is indeed my son Gu Huai. The household registration book is here, you can take a look."

Fortunately, I brought my household registration booklet with me when I went out today, otherwise I don’t know how long this entanglement would have lasted.

The guard took the household registration book and indeed, the whole family was on the book. The head of the household was Pei Ji'an, a soldier. He said he was a human trafficker. Oh no, Pei Zheng's skills were like those of a military man. It turned out that his father taught him by example.

The gatekeeper was a former soldier, a retired scout. He had a natural liking for military families, and after closing the household registration booklet and returning it to Lu Nong, he saluted.

Lu Nong quickly took the household registration booklet with both hands.

"Can I take them away then?" she asked.

"Okay," the guard nodded, turned around and said, "Pei Zheng, you can leave with your stepmother."

Pei Zheng stood up with a wooden face. The 1.80-meter-tall man had a very strong presence. He just opened his legs and tried to walk towards the door, but he couldn't move forward. He looked down and saw Han Lu pulling his pants hard to prevent him from moving.

Pei Zheng: “…”

"...You can't leave. What will we do if you leave?"

Although it is embarrassing to ask for help from your mortal enemy, waiting here for the old man's guards to come and pick you up is more embarrassing than that, because the old man's belt never has eyes.

“…”

Pei Zheng really wanted to kick this guy away. It was none of his business. A bunch of psychopaths followed him for no reason, causing him to fail to accomplish his task and embarrass him in front of his stepmother and his former son. He didn't know how to face his stepmother in the future. Pei Zheng shook his legs and said, "Get out of here."

"I won't," Han Lu insisted, "unless you tell them that you and I know each other, and that it was just a misunderstanding and a joke, and let him let us go."

Song Yang and the others who were squatting on the ground nodded in unison.

Pei Zheng took a deep breath, raised his head and called the guard, "Comrade, I have something to tell you..."

Han Lu and his companions heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this, but before they could wait for a second, they heard Pei Zheng say:

"I don't know these people. I was followed for no apparent reason and ended up fighting with them. Please make sure you find out their identities and don't let any bad guys go."

Pei Zheng finished speaking quickly without even stuttering, and maliciously emphasized the words "check the identity" before nimbly jumping out of the encirclement and putting some distance between himself and Han Lu and the others.

"!? Pei Zheng!!" Han Lu looked at him in disbelief and said with gritted teeth, "You little bastard, you and I cannot coexist!"

Pei Zheng rolled his eyes. "Have we ever been on equal terms?"

Han Lu choked and felt so angry that his lungs ached.

Pei Zheng didn't care about him. He walked over to Gu Xiaohuai and picked up the kid. "You heartless little bastard, your brother has been caught, and you are still chasing the dog. I'm going to spank you!"

"Guo Guo, dog..." Gu Xiaohuai pointed at the puppy wagging its tail on the ground and showed it to Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng pinched his little face and said, "You're just a dog. I've loved you for nothing."

In fact, it was not that Gu Xiaohuai did not have Pei Zheng's testimony. Before the little dog appeared, he had been grabbing his brother's trouser legs and shouting "Guo Guo". But unfortunately, the security guard was too vigilant. He was afraid that Gu Xiaohuai was young and ignorant and would shout "Guo Guo" whenever he saw someone, so he refused to listen to Pei Zheng's explanation.

When Pei Zheng was asked to squat, Gu Xiaohuai thought his brother was playing some new game, so he squatted on the ground like his brother. This made the guards so cute that they summoned another cute pet - the puppy.

As soon as the little puppy appeared, Gu Xiaohuai immediately ignored the fact that he had a brother Pei Zheng and ran after the little puppy.

A man and a dog started a chase in the small guard room.

When the time really came to leave, Gu Xiaohuai sat in his brother's arms and stared at the little puppy. The little puppy had no one chasing him, so he squatted on the ground and sobbed in the direction where Gu Xiaohuai was leaving.

One man and one dog acted out a deeply affectionate scene of separation between life and death.

Gatekeeper, Pei Zheng, and Lu Nong: "..."

"Or you can take Xiaobai away."

The security guard couldn't stand the child's pitiful, wet eyes, and the fact that he didn't cry or make a fuss made him even more pitiful.

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Xiaohuai seemed to understand what the guard said, and his eyes lit up.

Seeing that Zaizai was reluctant to leave, Lu Nong also couldn't bear to reject him, so he had to thank the guard and said, "Thank you, comrade. We will definitely treat Xiaobai well."

The guard picked up Xiao Bai and handed him to Lu Nong. Gu Xiaohuai immediately reached out for him and said, "Make a promise."

Lu Nong put Xiaobai into Gu Xiaohuai's arms. The man and the dog had bright eyes and sat in Pei Zheng's arms in the same posture, which was so cute that it killed all the adults.

Han Lu was still struggling over there, refusing to reveal who the parent was. "I really do know Pei Zheng. We were classmates before. I was just playing around with him just now. He said he didn't know us because he was mad at me."

"Be honest, he said he doesn't know you. Tell us your family background honestly, otherwise I will send you to the police station." Seeing that he refused to reveal his family information, the guard became even more suspicious of him.

Seeing that the guard was really going to send them to the police station, Han Lu became anxious. He did not get into college and would be joining the army this fall. If he went to the police station now and asked the old man to arrest him, the old man would beat him to death.

"Pei Zheng! If you leave like this, believe it or not, what happened today will spread throughout the compound tomorrow." Anyway, he has lost face, so Pei Zheng can't expect to have an easy life either.

Pei Zheng: “…”

This time it was Pei Zheng's turn to grit his teeth. He turned to look at Han Lu, who glared back at him provocatively, and their eyes were glued to each other.

No one wants to admit defeat.

At this time, a timid voice suddenly sounded: "Uncle security guard, I can testify that Pei Zheng and Han Lu really know each other. They are classmates in the same high school."

"Han Lu and Pei Zheng often quarrel, but they are good friends."

Who is lying with his eyes open? When did he and that bastard Pei Zheng/Han Lu become good friends?

Pei Zheng and Han Lu were very dissatisfied and looked at the person who was speaking.

Lu Nong also looked at the girl who was speaking, but saw that she had a plain face, two thin eyebrows, and her eyes, nose and mouth together formed a word: plain.

This appearance is just right for her name - Lu Qing.

Lu Nong thought of the poem from which Lu Qing's name came from: Only when the flowers are indifferent do you realize how gorgeous they are.

The poem is good, extremely elegant, beautiful and sophisticated. When used to describe beauties, it represents the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetics.

But Lu Qing made the freehand beauty real, which really went towards the literal meaning of the poem and was extremely bland.

On the other hand, Qian Yu, who was beside her, was pretty and graceful.

But why did they follow us?

Then she realized from what Lu Qing said that she, Pei Zheng, and this group of hooligans were classmates?

Thinking about it, Lu Qing seemed to be three years younger than her. If he was 19 years old this year and graduated from high school, it was indeed possible that he and Pei Zheng were classmates.

The guard looked at Lu Qing suspiciously, then turned around and glanced at Pei Zheng, Han Lu and the others.

Pei Zheng looked nonchalant, while Han Lu looked at Lu Qing carefully and asked, "Who are you?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Security guard, you heard it. We are really classmates. I didn't lie to you. Let us go."

Song Yang and a few others hurriedly nodded sincerely.

When Lu Qing heard Han Lu say that he didn't know her, her eyes dimmed instantly.

The security guard was not really stupid. After watching for so long and seeing the little girl come out to testify, he realized that these guys might really know each other.

Well, it seems that they are teaming up to tease him. The guard's expression immediately turned not so good.

"No, even if you know each other, you can't go to school to fight and stalk. If you don't want to ask your parents to go to the police station, you can write a self-review. Write it here. You can leave when you finish it!"

Han Lu, Song Yang and others: "..."

Pei Zheng retreated towards the door of the guard room calmly.

Unfortunately, the guard was furious and would never let the mastermind Pei Zheng go: "You have to write too!"

Pei Zheng: “…”

Pei Zheng pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "I have... I came to pick it up. Didn't you say that if someone picks it up, you don't have to write it?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Nong, and the guard also turned to Lu Nong.

Haha, Lu Nong laughed in his heart and said smugly, "I have no opinion. You can write what you want to write."

The guard nodded with satisfaction, and Pei Zheng's face turned green.

Pei Zheng had no choice but to let go of Zaizai and went back to the table, waiting for the security guard to hand him a pen and paper to write a self-criticism.

Han Lu laughed at him: "Ha, in the end you still have to write a self-criticism with us, what are you so proud of?"

Pei Zheng ignored him.

The cubs started chasing each other again. Pei Zheng, Han Lu, Song Yang and others lined up on the table to write self-criticisms. The security guards walked around a few of them and patted the boys on the head from time to time.

Lu Nong...was being stared at with reproach by Lu Qing and Qian Yu.

"Sister, why don't you explain for them?" Lu Qing asked with a frown. Her frown didn't make her look so dull.

Qian Yu clenched his fists secretly.

She really didn't know that Lu Nong had such luck. She married Gu Weiguo, who had a bright future, in her first marriage. After Gu Weiguo's death, she could marry Pei Zheng's father with a burden!

In school, Han Lu and his friends were very famous. Everyone knew that Han Lu's family background was very strong. The people around him were also from similar backgrounds. No one in school dared to mess with them.

Some people have tried their best to get into their small group, but no one has ever succeeded.

Pei Zheng is also famous, but he is famous because of his face, grades and IQ. He has a cold personality, excellent grades, and is always the first in the grade. He usually keeps to himself and does not associate with anyone or pay attention to anyone, which is exactly the opposite of Han Lu and others.

It is probably because of this personality that he attracts the attention of many girls, but Qian Yu is not one of them.

Qian Yu really noticed Pei Zheng after Pei Zheng and Han Lu met.

It stands to reason that Han Lu and Pei Zheng have nothing in common. One loves to be lively and the other studies hard and keeps to himself, but I don’t know when they met.

It's not the kind of small friction, but the kind of confrontation that can fight whenever they meet.

At first, everyone sympathized with Pei Zheng. Everyone felt that although Pei Zheng was outstanding, Han Lu's background was too strong, and Pei Zheng would soon give in and compromise.

But they waited and waited, until Pei Zheng pressed a few people except Han Lu to the ground every time, until the few followers around Han Lu didn't dare to meet Pei Zheng alone, until their class was about to graduate, Pei Zheng was still fine.

Han Lu didn't even touch Pei Zheng's hair.

There are also smart people among the students, and Qian Yu happened to be a smart person. She thought carefully about who could fight against Han Lu and his gang and make Han Lu unable to do anything to him?

There is only one answer, someone with a background that is not inferior to Han Lu.

From this, it can be imagined that Pei Zheng's father or grandfather must be a big shot.

Qian Yu did not think about getting close to Pei Zheng, but Pei Zheng was too difficult to get close to. Not only her, but also people who had the same purpose as her all failed one by one, so Qian Yu had to give up this idea.

But she never thought that Lu Nong would be related to Pei Zheng and become his stepmother.

In fact, today she and Lu Qing followed Lu Nong just because they heard that Lu Nong became someone else's stepmother, and was involved with people like traffickers and gangsters, so they wanted to follow and see Lu Nong's jokes and see how bad her life was.

Unexpectedly, the joke was not made, but Lu Nong married into the Pei family for the second time.

Why is her life always so good?

Qian Yu was really unwilling to accept it. This unwillingness was deeply rooted in her heart and was born since she was sensible, from the day she understood that her mother was just a servant of the Li family, from the day she knew that she was the child of a servant.

Why was she not the eldest daughter of the Li family, but just the daughter of a servant?

She was madly jealous of the eldest daughter of the Li family, and also jealous of Lu Nong who was favored by the Li family, and also jealous of Lu Qing. At least her mother was not a servant of someone else's family.

One day she found out that Lu Qing was just as jealous as she was, jealous that Lu Nong was prettier than her, jealous that Lu Nong was smarter than her, and jealous that the Li family treated Lu Nong better than her.

So they became people of the same country and had a common enemy.

Later, the Li family went abroad, and knowing that the Li family had left Lu Nong a sum of money for further studies before leaving, they informed Lu's mother and took away Lu Nong's money.

Who knew that Lu Nong turned around and was admitted to Peking University, and two years later they used the same trick again and ruined Lu Nong's chance to go to school.

When Lu Nong was admitted to the hospital and knew that she would be forced to marry an old man, she and Lu Qing were almost crazy with joy. As long as Lu Nong was not doing well, their resentment would be smoothed out.

But why can Lu Nong always stand up from the mud again and again?

Qian Yu tried to soften her stiff face and said softly, "Yes, Sister Nong Nong, after all, Pei Zheng is your stepson. He did nothing wrong. Why do you have to let him write a self-criticism?"

Lu Nong was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. Sometimes Lu Nong felt that talking to people like Lu Qing and Qian Yu was like talking to a poisonous snake in the gutter.

In her memory, Lu Qing was obviously her sister, but she had been framed and fought for her favor by various means since she was a child, which made Lu Nong feel bad. Lu Nong was not someone who would not fight back. After she scolded Lu Qing, she was afraid for three days, and then she would secretly make trouble again.

In the end, she was still protected by Lu's mother, and Lu Nong would avoid her from then on.

As for Qian Yu, he was dark-minded and was the same as Lu Qing.

The voices of Lu Qing and Qian Yu were not low, or in other words, they intended for everyone to hear, so everyone who should hear heard it.

Unfortunately, none of the people who wrote the self-criticism looked up at them. Instead, the security guard was unhappy after hearing what she said, "Girl, what do you mean by not doing anything wrong? What kind of place is this? University! You and your classmates came to the university to fight, and it seems that you are right?"

"My stepmother is reasonable and knows that she should reflect on her mistakes. Instead, you two are messing around here. Is there something wrong? If not, hurry up and leave. You are not welcome here."

The security guard waved his hand impatiently to drive Lu Qing and Qian Yu away.

The guard was very strong in fighting. He beat the old master to death with random punches. Lu Nong didn't even need to do anything. He directly beat Lu Qing and Qian Yu so hard that their faces turned red and white, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak.

At this time, Pei Zheng, Han Lu and others still didn't raise their heads. Qian Yu knew that she had returned empty-handed today. Although she was disappointed, she comforted herself that there would be opportunities in the future.

After all, didn't she know that Lu Nong married Pei Zheng's father?

"Forget it," Qian Yu took a deep breath, pulled Lu Qing and said, "Let's go first, we have to go to the social gathering later."

She and Lu Qing didn't get into college, so this social gathering was still very important. Maybe she could find a good quality target to look around, which would be another way.

Lu Qing always listened to Qian Yu. After hearing what she said, she looked at Han Lu again, lowered her head in disappointment, and was pulled away by Qian Yu.

As soon as they left, Lu Nong felt that the air had become sweet.

Half an hour later, Pei Zheng and Han Lu finished writing their self-criticisms one after another.

Lu Nong said goodbye to the guard and led her eldest son, youngest son and a group of young men out of the school gate.

After leaving the school gate, Han Lu glanced at Lu Nong with an ambiguous expression and said to Pei Zheng: "So she is your stepmother. Your father is really... still strong despite his old age."

In fact, in Han Lu's opinion, Pei Ji'an is not old at all. In fact, Pei Ji'an is the kind of man he really wants to be. But he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't say a few words to Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng ignored him and caught up with Lu Nong with his baby in his arms. He decided to bring up a topic first to make Lu Nong forget about the tracking.

"Do you know those two women just now? I heard them call you sister, is she your sister? They don't look very smart. Stay away from them." Don't let your baby's IQ suffer.

In Pei Zheng's opinion, the two girls were like Ye Huihui when they talked. They loved to talk to themselves and were simply stupid.

Lu Nong looked him up and down. She didn't expect Pei Zheng to be a tea expert. With this qualification, he deserves to be the hero of a novel.

Then Lu Nong sighed again. Speaking of it, apart from this point, how can he look like the hero of a novel! ?

Lu Nong opened her mouth to say something, but found that she was still outside. Forget it, let's go home and settle the score.

Pei Zheng felt uncomfortable when Lu Nong looked at him. He was afraid that she would mention the tracking, so he followed Lu Nong obediently.

So the following scene appeared on the street:

A beautiful woman, followed by a handsome boy with his head down and a sad face, the handsome boy holding a cute baby in his arms, and the cute baby holding a puppy in his arms.

The scene was much more normal than when he came here, at least no one came to talk to Lu Nong.

It was a good thing.

After returning to the Little Red Building in silence, Pei Zheng wanted to jump upstairs as soon as he entered the door.

"Stop." Lu Nong called him slowly.

Pei Zheng froze, holding the baby and slowly turned around. It seemed that he could not hide. Pei Zheng sighed. He was indeed wrong today. As long as Lu Nong did not go too far, he could still accept a few words of scolding.

Mother Wu looked out of the kitchen and saw Lu Nong was looking like he was going to settle a score. She retracted her head and continued to cook her own meal.

"Why are you following me?" This is what puzzled Lu Nong. Why did he follow her like a thief and make such a big joke.

"It's because you said my dad is old..." Pei Zheng rolled his eyes and told the truth.

Lu Nong was stunned. When did she dislike Pei Ji'an for being old?

And even if she disliked Pei Ji'an for being old, what did it have to do with Pei Zheng following her?

Lu Nong didn't understand the cause and effect relationship here for a while.

"Okay," Pei Zheng changed the subject and hinted, "Let me ask you, if I ask you who you are meeting today, will you tell me?"

Lun Nong thought about it and said honestly, "No."

She couldn't wait to tease Pei Zheng, so of course she had to keep it a secret until the end. It was so interesting to see Pei Zheng scratching his head and unable to guess, and then being shocked when he finally knew the truth.

Pei Zheng rolled his eyes again and said loudly, "I knew it! Anyway, I am here, don't think about looking for a gigolo, and you can't find one if my dad can't."

Rikuno: "..."

Xiao Zhou, who had just entered the room, took a deep breath, and the sound of his breath was particularly deafening in the silent room.

Pei Zheng turned his head to look at the door, and his neck made a crackling sound.

Pei Ji'an was standing at the door, just looking at him, looking at him, looking at him...

Pei Zheng: "..."

Rikuno: "..."

Pei Ji'an sneered.

Pei Zheng shuddered, and so did Lu Nong.

The room was silent except for the puppy's barking "woof woof" and the cub's imitation of barking "woof woof". Even the old lady Wu in the kitchen was handled with care.

Lu Nong was so shocked by this divine display that he was speechless.

This dead silence continued until the meal was served and old lady Wu brought out a special soup.

Pei Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and thanks to Mother Wu, he would live until tomorrow.

Now the pressure was no longer on him, and Pei Zheng was able to focus on watching the show. He said that it was not good for Lu Nong to dislike his father, otherwise why would he always ask Wu Ma to make aphrodisiac soup for his father to drink.

Lu Nong: “???” Damn it!! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t frame her again? ?

Old Madam Wu calmly said to Pei Ji'an, "Aunt, this is the tonic soup that Madam Wu made especially for you. Don't let Madam Wu down. You must drink it all."

Unfortunately, no one thought it was Mother Wu's idea, and everyone looked at Lu Nong.

Lu Nong: “…”
