Upon hearing this, Lu Nanfeng withdrew his hand.

He went downstairs and saw that Qin Xiang's face was flushed, and her body temperature was obviously abnormal: "I'll go get the car and go to the hospital right away."

Lu Nanfeng and Lu Bei took Qin Xiang to the hospital together.

Second floor bedroom.

Lu Ning lay on the bed, her face flushed and sweating profusely.

All night long, she felt lightheaded and kept having nightmares.

The next day, Lu Ning's phone kept getting message notifications.

After being woken up, Lu Ning opened her phone with a dark expression and saw a private message notification from an app.

When she opened it, she found that it was almost entirely filled with insults.

She was no stranger to these insults, because the incident of her pushing Qin Xiang into the water last night had been posted on the campus forum.

Qin Xiang was very popular at school, and all these people came to scold her with righteous indignation.

Lu Ning's head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode, so she personally joined the fray and started a war of words.

Using "Mom" as the subject and "relatives" and "reproductive organs" as adjectives, go straight for the big one.

The number of messages on the forum post instantly increased to thousands, alarming the administrator who thought the forum had been hacked.

After sending the message, Lu Ning threw her phone aside and lay down again.

Anyway, she doesn't need to curry favor with the Lu family anymore, nor does she need to care about her reputation.

I don't want to live such a stifling life anymore.

Not long after, a maid knocked on the door: "Young Miss, you should get up and go to school, you'll be late."

Ok?

Lu Ning remembered that she did indeed have to go to school today!

She washed her face with cold water to wake herself up.

If she wants to leave the Lu family, she must finish her studies, go to university, and get away from here.

After changing into her school uniform, she took her schoolbag and went downstairs.

Lu Nanfeng and Lu Bei walked in from outside.

Lu Nanfeng noticed that Lu Ning's face was slightly flushed, so he walked straight over and instinctively reached out to touch her forehead to check her temperature.

Lu Ning took a step back, dodging Lu Nanfeng's hand, and turned to sit down in the restaurant.

She needs to eat well to recover quickly and have the energy to study and prepare for Yunnan University.

Lu Nanfeng's hand froze in mid-air before he awkwardly lowered it.

Lu Bei snorted coldly: "I knew she was an ingrate, and she's as strong as an ox, unlike Xiangxiang, who's been weak since childhood. She caught a cold and got a fever after falling into the water last night. No one else gets sick, but Lu Ning never does!"

Lu Nanfeng ultimately didn't say anything, which was understandable, as Lu Ning had always been in good health.

He walked to the dining table: "Xiangxiang is sick. She'll be at school these next few days. You need to take good care of her until she recovers. Understand?"

He felt that Lu Ning was becoming increasingly eccentric and that he couldn't spoil her like he used to.

Since Lu Ning doesn't know how to repay kindness, he forces her to learn.

Lu Bei continued, "Lu Ning, Xiangxiang's father saved your life, and you almost killed her. You must take good care of Xiangxiang to atone for your sins!"

Lu Ning lowered her head and ate her breakfast seriously. Although she had no appetite, she forced herself to eat.

There are less than 100 days until the college entrance examination. After the exam, she can leave the Lu family.

Lu Bei was displeased with her indifferent attitude and snatched her chopsticks away: "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

Lu Ning looked up, her eyes clear and silent.

Lu Bei's tone was commanding: "When Xiangxiang takes her medicine, go get her some hot water. Go to the cafeteria for her at noon, and remember to run fast so the food doesn't get cold. If she has trouble going to the restroom, go with her! Her father saved your life, this is what you should do, understand?"

Lu Ning's voice was indifferent: "I heard you clearly."

But she didn't agree to do so.

Lu Ning walked out of the villa expressionlessly, looked up at the sky, and forced back her tears.

She thought that since she was given a second chance at life, she wouldn't be sad anymore.

But hearing her fourth brother's words just now still made her heart ache as if it were being pricked by needles.

She still remembers when she was a child, she was sick, and her second brother, Lu Nanfeng, stayed by her side all night. Her fourth brother, Lu Bei, would tell her jokes to coax her to take her medicine.

Because Qin Xiang is physically weak, her brothers always take care of her immediately whenever she gets sick.

Later, even when she had a fever, she could only endure it on her own.

Lu Ning swallowed the bitterness in her throat, got into the car, and closed her eyes to rest.

Just bear with it a little longer, there are less than a hundred days left.

After arriving at school, she went straight to the senior high school classroom.

After she went in, the once noisy classroom became completely quiet.

Lu Ning's feud on the campus forum has now spread far and wide.

Everyone suspects that Lu Ning may have a mental illness.

"I wonder what triggered Lu Ning to give up on herself like this?"

"I think she can never be cleared of her name, so she should stop pretending. This is Lu Ning's true self."

Lu Ning heard the crickets chirping softly all around her, but she didn't care. She put down her schoolbag and lay down on the table to sleep.

Lu Ning slept the entire morning.

Qin Xiang came to the classroom after school at noon.

Qin Xiang was still on an IV drip, and her appearance instantly garnered sympathy and concern from her classmates.

Lu Ning frowned, changed her position, and continued sleeping.

Not long after, someone slammed their hand on her table.

Lu Ning looked up impatiently, her eyes clear and bright, tinged with a hint of hostility.

She saw Qin Xiang standing in front of her, with her little follower looking impatient.

Lu Ning narrowed her eyes.

These two women are Qin Xiang's lackeys. They often spread rumors and gang up to bully her, and even fabricated evidence to complain to her brother.

Qin Xiang said weakly, "Sister Ningning, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll get you some food. Please don't be mad at me, okay?"

Lu Ning replied indifferently, "No need."

The number one henchman said angrily, "Lu Ning, don't push your luck! Xiangxiang is a patient herself."

"That's right, Lu Ning, you should take the initiative to take care of everything for Xiangxiang at school, because she got sick because of you."

Qin Xiang coughed weakly twice: "Don't do this, I can take care of myself. I've always been alone. Please stop talking, lest she get angry."

"Xiangxiang, you're just too kind, that's why you get bullied like this."

Lu Ning was getting impatient, and she stood up to leave the classroom.

She had just stepped out when Qin Xiang suddenly rushed over, causing the IV stand to fall to the ground.

Qin Xiang happened to fall onto the broken bottle.

It was such a coincidence that her mother opened the door for her, and coincidentally, they arrived home.

The classroom was in chaos, and Lu Ning's head was throbbing from the noise.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then everything went black and she fainted.

When Lu Ning woke up, the air around her nose smelled of disinfectant.

Is this the school clinic?

"With a body temperature of 39 degrees Celsius, you've held on for so long, are you trying to experience being naturally cooked by high human temperatures?"

Lu Ning turned her head and saw a man in a white coat, tall and slender, wearing a mask, with a cold and aloof expression.

She remembered that this was the new school doctor, who was very handsome and attracted the attention of many girls.

But he also has a particularly sharp tongue.

The school doctor didn't seem to stay long before leaving.

Lu Ning sat up, feeling much better; the IV drip must have worked.

She lowered her eyelids: "Can I leave now?"

"Wait for your family to come and pick you up, so you don't die on the way. I don't want to take responsibility for you."

Ji Chiqian sat in the chair, his voice unusually casual.

She really is a sharp-tongued school doctor.

She said in a hoarse voice, "I have no family."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lu Bei's anxious voice came from outside: "Xiangxiang, are you alright? How did you get so badly injured?"

"Fourth Brother, it's just a minor injury. Don't blame Sister Ningning. She didn't do it on purpose. It was my carelessness and clumsiness that caused the IV stand to fall over."

The first henchman added fuel to the fire: "That's not how it is. It was clearly Xiangxiang who specifically went to ask Lu Ning to get food for her, but Lu Ning refused. Holding a grudge, she deliberately tripped Xiangxiang. We all saw it."

Follower number two chimed in, "That's right, Xiangxiang was sick herself, but she was still worried about Lu Ning not having eaten, and Lu Ning was so vicious as to push her down!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bei felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

His voice was filled with suppressed anger as he shouted, "Where is Lu Ning? Get out here! How dare you let Xiangxiang get you food? Her father should have let you die in that car accident, so you wouldn't have to torment his daughter while you're alive."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

Just like in his previous life, whatever Qin Xiang said went.

The next second, the curtain next to Lu Ning was forcefully pulled open.

Lu Ning looked up, her face pale, her lips white and chapped, looking sickly.

"Lu Ning, you..."

When Lu Bei saw Lu Ning's expression, the rest of his words caught in his throat.
