Wu Tian looked at Mr. Zhao. “Uncle Zhao, I came to tell you about this.”
She took out her phone and stared at Mr. Zhao.
He seemed to understand something.
“How much longer?
“Five more minutes.”
Five minutes later, the doctor left; the servants were chased out and the door was closed.
Zhao Lingling was covered with a thin blanket. Mr. and Mrs. Zhao sat on the sofa on the other side, while Wu Tian sat in the armchair in the middle.
“Tian’tian, what’s going on? Please tell Auntie quickly.”
Wu Tian glanced at Zhao Lingling. Zhao Lingling laid there in a daze and was not saying anything.
Then, Wu Tian looked at the two of them while holding her phone.
“Uncle, Auntie, this matter is certainly related to both of us, but it’s not like what you heard. Lingling didn’t steal anything, and I’m not an accomplice.
“The two of us are just…” She paused.
“We were both deluded.”
The two of them were bemused as they listened to her. They looked at each other, but neither of them understood anything, so they looked at Wu Tian and waited for her to continue.
Zhao Lingling glanced at Wu Tian and remained silent. She felt that even if Wu Tian had said something, her parents would not believe her—they would only believe that she was the thief.
Wu Tian looked at them and pulled out a recording on her phone. “The two of us believed in Lù Yue’an’s nonsense.”
“Lù Yue’an?” Mr. Zhao was puzzled. “The one from the Lù family?”
Wu Tian nodded.
“What about her?”
Wu Tian looked at Mr. Zhao and said slowly, “When Lù Yuean first arrived at No. 1 High School, my parents asked me to interact more and build a good relationship with her. Uncle, did you say the same to Lingling?
Mr. Zhao was startled. “Y-yes, I did.”
Wu Tian nodded and continued, “Lingling and I have been cultivating a good relationship with Lù Yue’an. In order to please her, we even… We even bullied Lu Ning. We thought she’ll be pleased.
“Later, it turned out that she certainly was happy. From then on, she treated Lingling and me very well. She even said that she would mention you to her father.
“It wasn’t until the last sports meet that she suddenly asked us to put her necklace in Lu Ning’s bag. She said that as long as we succeeded, both our families won’t have to worry about anything. As long as the Lù family and she are around, the Lù family will protect our two families.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other in shock, unwilling to believe it.
“Was that what the person from the Lù family told you?
Wu Tian nodded.
“Is the Lu Ning you mentioned the one that the Lù family brought up by mistake?”
Wu Tian nodded again.
“But hasn’t she already returned to her real parents’ house? Aren’t her real parents very poor?
Wu Tian nodded. “Yes, I heard that their situation isn’t very optimistic; they seem to owe a lot of money.”
Mrs. Zhao was puzzled again. “Then what’s the point of the Lù family targeting her now? Isn’t that child from a poor family no longer a threat to them?
Weren’t they saying that the Lù family doesn’t even talk about her anymore?
“That’s right. Lu Ning doesn’t pose much of a threat to Lù Yue’an. So why is she still targeting her?”
Wu Tian shook her head. “Maybe she just doesn’t like her.”
She did not say much aside from this.
“So you really followed through with it?”
Wu Tian nodded. “She said it would be very simple, so we agreed to it on impulse.”
“Nonsense! Didn’t the two of you know the consequences?! What if you’re exposed? What if she plays the blame game?! You really did something like that for her with just a verbal agreement!
“Why are the two of you so muddle-headed!!!”
Wu Tian looked at Mr. Zhao and went silent..
