After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal Chapter 23

Chapter 23

I’m Determined!

Lu Qing was startled. Looking at his brother’s furrowed brows and cold eyes, he felt as though he had done something wrong.

Lu Jingzhi did not wish to speak to his stupid brother anymore. He turned around and entered the room.

After entering the room, Lu Jingzhi took out his laptop and laid on the bed, typing away on the keyboard. He seemed angry.

Within a few minutes, the screen showed a video of the cafeteria in the amus.e.m.e.nt park.

After changing the camera position and adjusting the time, the camera at the front desk clearly captured the scene of Lù Yue’an extending her right foot maliciously.

Lu Jingzhi recorded this scene and kept zooming in on Lù Yue’an’s outstretched foot, as if he was afraid it would not be visible.

After recording everything, Lu Jingzhi saved it to a folder called ‘evidence’ on the desktop.

When Lu Ning knocked on the door and entered the room, she saw him looking at the computer, still visibly upset.

Without asking, Lu Ning walked over to help connect him to Gu Zi. After reading their messages for a few minutes and making sure there were no issues, she stopped watching them and sat in front of Lu Jingzhi’s desk.

Lu Jingzhi was very intelligent, but at the same time he was eager to learn. For him to achieve so much at such a tender age, his own hard work must have played a part as well.

Lu Ning looked at the tattered dictionaries on the table; they looked like they had been flipped through countless times. It was little wonder he could understand most of the technical terms and express himself so freely.

Lu Ning looked at his serious expression as he focused on the computer screen and could not help but feel more determined.

He was obedient and sensible. He probably understood their family situation and did not dare to ask for much.

However, he was so smart he could become an important figure in the country in the future.

Such genius should not be left untapped and buried due to their financial situation. At the least, she would not allow such a thing to happen.

Her brother was someone who could dazzle, and she could not let his light be extinguished.

Seeing how focused he was, Lu Ning quietly got up and left.

After returning to her room to retrieve a card, she went to the living room.

Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were still watching television. Hearing footsteps, Shen Yunci turned around and looked at her.

“Little Ning, come quickly. Mommy’s cut some fruits, come have some.”

Lu Ning nodded and walked over.

Shen Yunci had her sit in between them and, using a toothpick, fed her a piece of honeydew. Lu Zhi picked up a clean gla.s.s and poured her a gla.s.s of milk.

“Little Ning, you might be feeling uneasy since your environment’s changed so much. Having some milk before bed can help you get to sleep.”

This happiness that was readily within reach made Lu Ning apprehensive.

She reached for the gla.s.s, took a sip, and placed it on the table. The commercial break started, and she reached for Shen Yunci’s hand.

Shen Yunci was about to ready a slice of apple for her when she was suddenly stopped by her gesture.

Before she could react, she felt a card being stuffed into her hand.

She looked up at Lu Ning, stupefied.

“Dad, Mom, I know you’re being nice to me, but you don’t have to do all these for me in the future; those clothes, the renovation, and food didn’t come cheap. I know our family isn’t doing great, so don’t do such things anymore. I’m not so pampered or delicate that you have to spend so much money on me you have to live hand to mouth.

“This card has my earnings from when I was working part-time, I don’t need it now.

“Take it to pay off your debts. You should be able to pay off the mortgage for about a year, so you won’t have to work so hard next year.

“Working part-time is easy for me, and I can earn quite a sum of money from it. In the future, when our financial situation becomes better, you can pamper me as much as you want. If that time comes, I certainly won’t stop you.

“So, there’s no need for you to worry about me.”
