I'm a little panicked when I cross the collapse

Lu Qiong took out a paper bag from his pocket and said sincerely: "This is your lady's thing. I hope you can return it to Miss Vanessa."

The housekeeper took the paper bag, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Okay, thank you. Is there anything else you can do for me?"

Lu Qiong shook his head and said in a low voice, "That's all." After that, he turned around and left without looking back, his steps seeming a little heavy.

Lu Qiong walked slowly on the way home, feeling extremely depressed. He had been busy for several days and had put in a lot of effort to complete the results, but now they were all gone. He was filled with resentment and helplessness.

Bang! Suddenly, Lu Qiong's attention was distracted by what happened today, and he didn't even notice the person in front of him, and he bumped into him. However, strangely, the collision did not bring any pain, but a soft touch.

He couldn't help but frown in confusion, wondering what was going on.

Lu Qiong slowly raised his head, and what came into his sight was a tall, blond, blue-eyed, beautiful girl. Her charming peach blossom eyes were staring straight at him, revealing a hint of sadness and helplessness.

Lu Qiong, who was about to apologize, felt a surge of anger in his heart when he saw that the person in front of him was Vanessa, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He frowned tightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Lu Qiong's handsome face looked a little gloomy at the moment. He looked at Vanessa coldly and said in a stiff tone: "Ms. Vanessa, you should have received the things I gave you, right? And the envelope inside..."

Vanessa naturally knew what Lu Qiong was referring to. She lowered her head, her face as pale as paper. She knew that what she had done had been exposed, but she was just kind-hearted and wanted to help the boy who had been deeply imprinted in her heart since she was three years old.

Ever since she learned that the Lu family had encountered misfortune and Lu Qiong's father passed away in an accident, the family's financial situation had become very difficult and they owed huge debts, Vanessa had been worried.

She lowered her head and explained softly: "I just want to help you, I don't have any other intentions..."

However, Lu Qiong interrupted her without hesitation and answered firmly: "No need! Please don't disturb my life again. If you do this again in the future, we can't even be ordinary friends (Mom's education for many years... doesn't allow him to do this)."

That’s right, Lu Qiong and Vanessa didn’t just stop communicating after the incident when they were three years old (well! Actually, Vanessa pestered Lu Qiong so much that Lu Qiong had no choice but to become ordinary friends with her. However, they didn’t meet very often, and most of the time it was Vanessa who came to look for Lu Qiong)

Vanessa ignored Lu Qiong's "threat" and looked at Lu Qiong's left leg. It was because of her that...

Lu Qiong continued, "It's best that we... don't have too much contact. Those things from our childhood are all in the past. We are not from the same world. You are the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and I am just an ordinary person."

"Just say goodbye!"

Looking at Lu Qiong's receding back, Vanessa clenched her hands tightly.

Huh! Lu Qiong panted heavily, looking at his watch as he walked, and said anxiously in his heart: "Oh no, it's a bit too late, my sister Xilin should be back soon." He looked up and found that he was still some distance away from home, but now there was not much time.

So Lu Qiong quickened his pace again, hoping to get home as soon as possible. However, at this moment, the sequelae of his leg injury when he was a child suddenly flared up. A piercing pain came from his leg and quickly spread throughout his body, making it almost impossible for him to stand. But Lu Qiong knew he couldn't stop, he had to go back and prepare meals for his sister and mother in advance.

He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and rushed home step by step. Every step he took seemed to challenge his limit, and sweat flowed down his forehead, soaking his clothes. But he still did not give up, with only one thought in his mind - he must get home on time.

Finally, Lu Qiong saw the familiar door of his home and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly checked the time and found that there were still about twenty minutes left. This meant that he had enough time to prepare dinner so that his sister could have a delicious meal as soon as she came back.

Lu Qiong walked into the house, put his bag aside, and then dragged his exhausted body into the kitchen to start cooking. Although he was still very weak, he still tried his best to make a hearty dinner. When everything was ready, he returned to his room and lay on the bed for a short rest.

Dozens of minutes later, when Lu Qiong heard the sound of the door outside the house being pushed open, he got up from the bed and started his work.

…………………….

Another few days passed,

Wow! Lu Qiong counted the considerable amount of banknotes in his hand.

"Well. It should be enough to pay off another debt," Lu Qiong muttered to himself.

These past few days, Lu Qiong really relied on himself to sell the wood carvings. He did this by constantly changing the placement of his stall and carefully observing the customers who came to buy things.

To prevent what happened before from happening again.

However, on Lu Qiong's way home, Vanessa appeared again and stopped him.

Lu Qiong was a little impatient and was about to say something when he was stopped by Vanessa.

Vanessa said, "I heard you have a lovely sister..."

Bang! Lu Qiong suddenly stepped forward and threw Vanessa against the wall behind him. His face was extremely gloomy: "I warn you, don't... have any ideas about my sister."

Vanessa's face showed no concern: "I don't want to do anything, at most I just want to get to know you, but..." Vanessa's tone became a little frivolous: "Even if I do something to your sister, can you... stop me?"

Vanessa's words made Lu Qiong very angry. He shouted, "What on earth do you want to do? Have I done anything to offend you? Why are you targeting me like this?"

There was a trace of sadness in Vanessa's eyes: "No matter what you think, I really... just want to help you."

Because today is the weekend, Xilin got out of school a few hours earlier and walked home excitedly as usual.

"Hmm? The man among those two people looks so familiar, he seems to be my brother!" Xilin stopped.

Vanessa was still trying to convince Lu Qiong to accept her help when a delicate cry was heard.

"What are you doing?" Xilin looked angrily at the beautiful woman in front of her who was standing very close to her brother.
