Chapter 14

Reparations Won’t Mitigate the Damage Done

Lù Chuan was momentarily unhappy when he was interrupted, but in the next moment, Lu Ning’s words slowly floated through his mind, and he was frozen on the spot.

He was. .h.i.t hard by Lu Ning’s words.

So much so that when he looked at Lu Ning, his facial expressions kept s.h.i.+fting. For a long time, he did not speak a word.

Lu Ning glanced at him emotionlessly. In the next moment, her hand was clasped by a soft little hand.

Lu Ning lowered her gaze and met Lu Jingzhi’s big eyes.

“Sister, let’s go.”

Lu Ning smiled at him. “Okay.”

When she raised her head to look at Lù Chuan, there was a faint smile on her face. “Goodbye, Uncle Lù.”

Lu Ning pulled Lu Jingzhi and took two steps forward. Then, she thought of something and spun around to look at Lù Chuan.

“Uncle Lù, reparations won’t mitigate the damage done. You don’t have to do the things you failed to do in the past.

“I know that Grandpa views me as a stain on the Lù family’s name. There’s no need to go through the process of making up for your guilt, simply observe the outcome and make a clean break. I’m adhering to it, and I hope you will do the same; do not disturb me and my family again. Thank you.”

After finis.h.i.+ng, she turned around and left with Lu Jingzhi.

Lù Chuan remained where he was, pondering what Lu Ning had just said.

However, a single phrase lingered in his mind—

reparations won’t mitigate the damage done

.

He turned to look in the direction where Lu Ning went…

——————

Lu Jingzhi looked up at Lu Ning. This was the first time he had seen Sister talk so much.

Still, she was as cold as ever.

Although her sister did not talk much when she arrived at their house, she was nevertheless very gentle when she spoke. However, her appearance just now was rather frightening.

“Little Ning! Our Little Darling, come quickly. It’s your turn.”

Shen Yunci waved at them from afar.

The two of them increased their pace.

Thinking that the two of them were cutting the queue, the staff refused them entry. It was only after they explained to him that their parents had lined up for them that he let them board the ferris wheel.

Just as the two of them entered, Lu Ning noticed something flas.h.i.+ng in Lu Jingzhi’s pocket.

Lu Ning pointed. “Jingzhi, there’s something flas.h.i.+ng in your pocket.”

Lu Jingzhi was startled. He immediately lowered his head and revealed a small, black, box-like object from his pocket. It was the size of his palm, and the indicator light on it was flickering.

Lu Jingxin knew it was bad, so he looked up at Lu Ning. “Sister, can you keep it for me?”

Although Lu Ning was a little puzzled, she still nodded. She reached out to take it and put it in her bag.

But she smelled something. “Jingzhi, put your hand out.”

Lu Jingzhi was hesitant, but he still extended his hand and looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning leaned over and sniffed the side of his hand.

The smell had faded, but she could still smell it.

“Did you hold somebody’s hand while you were talking to them?”

Lu Ning smelled the perfume on his hand. She did not wear perfume, neither did Lu Jingzhi; and Shen Yunci’s perfume had a different fragrance.

Lu Ning had seen too many cases of children being kidnapped, so she looked at Lu Jingzhi solemnly.

Lu Jingzhi subconsciously brought his hand back and sniffed it; there was indeed a faint smell.

“Just now, there was a fat auntie who dropped something, and I helped her pick it up. Sister, don’t be alarmed.”

Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. Lu Jingzhi was no ordinary child; he had great intellect. Nonetheless, he had little experience in the world, so it was inevitable for her to be a little worried for him.

Lu Ning adjusted her posture. “In the future, try your best to avoid letting strangers touch you, in case…”

Before she could finish speaking, she spotted somebody through the transparent gla.s.s of the carriage, standing not far away.

Huo Jinyan?
