Lu Ning's eyes were pitch black, as if she wanted to devour someone.

Qin Xiang took a step back: "Sister Ningning, why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I'm the one who knocked your stationery over."

Lu Nanfeng walked over: "Ningning, what's wrong?"

Lu Ning used a lot of effort to suppress the anger in her heart: "The stationery is broken."

"How could it be broken?"

Lu Nanfeng glanced at the stationery and his expression changed drastically: "You go in first, I'll go buy you new ones right away."

Lu Ning felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have stayed at the Lu family home.

This time she was careless.

Lu Ning planned to call Ji Chiqian, not believing her second brother's promise at all.

Qin Xiang said, "Second brother, why don't you give mine to Sister Ningning? I'll wait for you to bring the stationery over."

"No need, I'll go buy it for her."

Lu Nanfeng turned to look at Lu Ning: "Ningning, trust your second brother, listen to me and go inside first, otherwise we'll be late."

Lu Ning glanced at Lu Nanfeng one last time, then turned and walked towards the school, entering the examination hall first to wait.

Today we encountered heavy rain and traffic jams, and we were indeed running out of time.

But she had a bad feeling.

As Qin Xiang passed by with an umbrella, she feigned concern and said, "I hope Second Brother can return safely before the exam starts."

Lu Ning held up the large black umbrella, silently gazing ahead, without answering Qin Xiang's question.

Qin Xiang, having made a fool of herself, could only stomp her foot and leave.

Ultimately, Qin Xiang still felt somewhat unwilling, since she had imagined that Lu Ning would only discover the stationery was wrong during the exam.

Lu Ning is really lucky.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.

Lu Ning immediately called Ji Chiqian.

The other end answered immediately: "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be in the classroom right now?"

"My stationery is broken, and I'm waiting for my second brother to buy me new ones, but he hasn't come back yet."

Ji Chiqian sat up straight: "Go wait in the classroom."

After the call ended, Lu Ning continued looking outside until the teacher reminded her that she should go into the classroom, at which point she turned and walked towards the school.

She believed in Ji Chiqian.

Lu Ning went to the classroom, found a seat, and sat down until the bell rang.

The principal hurried over, carrying stationery, and had the proctor check it before handing it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning glanced at the principal with some surprise. Why was it him who delivered it?

However, she didn't have time to think about these things now; the exam was about to begin.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After finishing the first exam, Lu Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After she left the examination room, she looked up at the sky and felt pretty good.

When Lu Ning reached the school gate, Lu Nanfeng rushed over: "Ningning, how are you? It was raining heavily just now, and the driver accidentally took the wrong road. I searched for a long time before I could buy stationery, but there's no time left."

Lu Nanfeng was soaked to the bone, with a guilty expression on his face.

Lu Ning's expression was indifferent; in fact, she should have guessed this would happen long ago.

But she doesn't seem very angry now.

She was already used to being disappointed in her brothers.

If you don't care, you won't feel bad.

Seeing Lu Ning's expression, Lu Nanfeng felt a little scared: "Ningning, say something! Or you can scold me!"

Lu Ning took a step back, creating some distance between them.

Lu Nanfeng's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, Qin Xiang ran out: "Second brother, you're late. Didn't you bring the stationery over? This must have a big impact on Sister Ningning."

Qin Xiang felt a little happy when she saw Lu Ning's expressionless face.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Ning with deep remorse: "I'm sorry, it was really my fault this time. If it affected your exam and you're not satisfied with your results, your second brother can help you retake the exam!"

Lu Ning suddenly let out a cold laugh: "Second brother, forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Lu Nanfeng was stunned. What did that mean?

He would rather Lu Ning get angry and blame himself than remain indifferent like she is now!

It was as if he were a complete stranger!

Lu Ning turned and walked to the other side, where Ji Chiqian stood quietly, holding a black umbrella.

Lu Ning quickened her pace and ran over, looking at him and saying, "Did you ask the principal to send me these stationery items?"

Seeing the smile on her face, Ji Chiqian guessed that she wasn't affected by this unpleasant incident.

He suppressed his displeasure and said calmly, "Hmm."

"Thank you so much, you've been a huge help!"

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she patted her stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go eat. I still have to prepare for my exam this afternoon."

After Lu Ning got into the car, Lu Nanfeng's panicked voice came from outside: "Ningning, where are you going? I want to talk to you!"

Lu Nanfeng held the car door shut, looking at Lu Ning inside the car, feeling somewhat flustered.

Lu Ning said expressionlessly, "There's no need for that."

"Ningning, I really didn't mean to be late."

Lu Ning's eyes were clear and bright: "I know, so can you let go now?"

But Lu Nanfeng didn't let go.

Or perhaps he's afraid to let go.

He had a bad feeling that once he let go, Lu Ning would never come back.

Gu Zifeng couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to grab Lu Nanfeng's collar: "Hey buddy, this isn't fun!"

"I'm her brother, is this really meaningful?"

Lu Nanfeng was losing control.

Gu Zifeng scoffed, "I've never seen a brother who makes things worse than he's meant to help. You guys prepared her stationery, and it just broke for no reason. Then you confidently told her to wait for you, and she ended up being late. Is your family really that malicious?"

Gu Zifeng witnessed Lu Ning's miserable life firsthand, and he couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Is this something a human could do?

Anyone with eyes can see that stationery doesn't malfunction for no reason!

Lu Nanfeng was stunned: "I don't know."

"If you don't know, then go find out the hell! What's the point of harassing Little Lemon and forcing her to forgive you? I'm worried that this time it was a problem with her stationery, but next time it might be a problem with the food she eats at the Lu family's house, and she'll get diarrhea and be unable to take the exam!"

Gu Zifeng didn't hold back when he cursed.

Lu Nanfeng was pushed aside like that. He staggered and watched Lu Ning get into the car and leave.

He had lived for thirty years and this was the first time he had felt panic.

Qin Xiang came over feigning concern and said, "Second brother, it's understandable that Sister Ningning is angry, since you were really late. But the exam is very important, so let Sister Ningning go home."

If Lu Ning leaves, how will she operate?

Lu Nanfeng suddenly broke down, his voice hoarse: "Where is the housekeeper? He prepared the stationery!"

He wanted to see why Lu Ning's stationery was the problem!

Qin Xiang instantly became a little nervous: "Second brother, why do you also suspect the housekeeper? He prepared my stationery, and there were no problems with it."

Lu Nanfeng stood up with a stern face and strode away.

Qin Xiang clenched her fingers tightly and immediately sent a message to the housekeeper: "Second brother is back and investigating you. Be careful."

Although Lu Ning left, at least this incident affected her, and she probably won't perform as well later on.

Judging from Lu Ning's expression, she probably doesn't want to talk to Lu Nanfeng anymore.

Good.

-

Lu Ning sat in the car, looking out the window at the rain, which had subsided a bit.

It was quiet inside the car.

Ji Chiqian turned his head to look at her, his tone calm: "Don't let it affect you. Don't go back for the next few days."

Lu Ning nodded: "That's what I think too. It's more convenient to live in an apartment."

The rain had stopped by the time the exam started in the afternoon.

Lu Ning went to the exam smoothly. The math questions were a bit difficult this time, but she felt that there were basically no major problems.

As she left the exam room, she heard wails of despair outside, with everyone discussing how difficult the math problems were.

Lu Ning saw Lu Nanfeng as soon as she walked out of the school gate.

She paused, lowered her head, and walked to the other side.

"Ningning, I brought the housekeeper here to apologize to you."
