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

Chapter 35

Disgraced in Public

She followed everyone’s gaze as a lanky boy alighted from the Bentley. He looked like a well-mannered gentleman.

Who else can it be but Lu Qing?

Lù Yue’an, wearing a princess dress, came down after him, while Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue got out from the front seats.

School started today, and all the students were wearing school uniforms. She was the only one wearing an exquisite princess dress and stood out a lot in the crowd.

“That must be the young lady of the Lù family. Oh my god, look at her dress. It’s much too pretty.”

“Damn, she sure landed herself into royalty. Is she here to declare her sovereignty from the get-go?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you stupid? Last time, Lu Ning schooled here, but this real Young Miss of the Lù family was in No. 2 High School. After the holidays she got right into No. 1 High School; who knows how many strings the Lù family pulled for this. This Young Miss of the Lù family probably wants to take Lu Ning down a notch and let everyone understand who the real Young Miss of the Lù family actually is.”

“That’s too cruel. Lu Ning has already been downgraded from a rich young lady to a poor young lady, but she still came to rub salt in her wound.”

“Well, she’s had her position taken from her for so many years. She has to be fed up.”

…

The people around them were already speculating and gossiping.

Lu Ning looked at Shen Yunci. “Mom, you go first, I can go by myself. I’ll have lunch in the school cafeteria and go home after school tonight.”

Shen Yunci was glaring at Lu Qing, and only turned around after hearing Lu Ning.

“Alright, Little Ning, you be careful now. Call Mommy if anything makes you unhappy.”

Lu Ning nodded. She patted Lu Jingzhi’s head and gave him a smile. After bidding them goodbye, she quietly slipped into the school.

Now that there were throngs of people and with somebody attracting their attention, she could slip in easily.

After she went in, Shen Yunci almost flew into a rage on the spot.

“He won’t even send his own sister off! He woke up so early and ran to the Lù residence! I bet he doesn’t want this family anymore!”

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Qing and could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Even though he knew that his son had strong feelings for Lù Yue’an, he did not expect him to do this.

How is Ning’ning going to attend school in the future?!

Lu Zhi stopped looking and tugged at Shen Yunci. “Let’s go. Little Ning keeps asking us to leave because she doesn’t want people to talk bad about us. Nobody recognized us, so let’s leave him be and go home. Don’t let Little Ning worry.”

Shen Yunci pursed her lips and almost broke into tears.

“Our Ning’ning is so amazing, people will definitely gossip about her in school…”

Lu Zhi hugged her, his heart aching.

Lu Jingzhi looked at his brother who was not far away.

Lu Qing seemed to sense something. When he turned around, he saw his parents who were about to leave.

“…”

He also did not expect this to happen today.

“Hey, that tall boy is so handsome. Who is he? I’ve never heard of Lu Ning having a brother; could it be her fiancé?!”

“I don’t think so, her fiancé’s the Young Master of the Lin family; we once saw him in a magazine, have you forgotten? But this boy, I’ve never seen him before.”

“Oh! I remember now. Didn’t they say that there’s two big brothers in that penniless Lu family? Could he be one of them?”

“No way—the biological brother didn’t send his biological sister, but instead sent his adopted sister. Good lord, if I were Lu Ning, I would have slapped him twice in anger. Isn’t this disgracing her in public?!”

…

There was a lot of clamor and gossip around them. Lu Qing only glanced away for a moment, and Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci were gone; and neither had he noticed Lu Ning.
