Gu Chen smiled at them, then turned to look at Lu Ning.
He walked to her side. “At the underground auction, were you the one who arranged for it?”
He lowered his voice and asked Lu Ning.
Lu Ning took a bite of the burger in her hand. “Yes.”
Gu Chen looked at her. “You looked for Song Wenqi?”
The people at the underground auction were not theirs, so Lu Ning could only find Song Wenqi to do it for her. That place was close to Song Wenqi’s territory, but the underground auction itself belonged to Song Wenqi’s sworn enemy. Hence, Gu Chen was uncertain.
However, Lu Ning did not know all these. She simply nodded. “Yes.”
Gu Chen was a little surprised. He was not surprised that Lu Ning had looked for Song Wenqi, but rather, that Song Wenqi had agreed to do it and even succeeded. There was no other news from the other side, and everything seemed calm.
How did he do it?
Lu Ning looked at his strange expression and turned around to ask, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Chen was silent for a moment before shaking his head.
“Did Twelfth’s mission go well?”
Gu Chen nodded. “It went quite smoothly.”
Lu Ning nodded and felt a little relieved.
After the group finished eating, it was time for class.
They had just walked out of the arts building when they bumped into Lù
Yue’an.
A few people were chatting and laughing beside Lt.* Yue’an.
When they saw Lu Ning, they were stunned.
The two groups of people stood there and looked at each other for a while before each walking away.
However, after walking for a short distance, Lt.] Yue’an and the others slowed down and watched as Lu Ning and the others walked into the teaching building.
“Why are they so smug?”
“Everyone in her class follows Lu Nings lead. Did she drug those people?”
“That vixen only knows how to bewitch people.”
“That’s right. People like her are best at doing underhanded things, unlike our An t an who is so hardworking. Recently, her fingers have even been cramping from piano practice! Right, An’an?”
As they spoke, they looked at Lt.* Yue’an with heartache.
However, they knew very well whether that heartache was authentic or not.
Lu Ning had caused a ruckus at the Lù and Lin families’ banquet that day. All of them knew very well that nobody said anything in front of Lu Ning just now because they were afraid that Lu Ning would hit them.
If Lu Ning had slapped them and caused their pretty faces to be blemished, would they not have made a fool of themselves in public?
After weighing the pros and cons, they naturally did not dare to say anything in person. So, they could only say something behind her back and to Lt.* Yue’an to regain her favor.
However, I-R.I Yue’an was no idiot. She scoffed in her heart as she looked at their fake antics.
She did not say anything. She just watched as Lu Ning disappeared into the school building. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
That slap… I will be returning it!
Shi Qingyue had not been in a good mood recently because of what happened at the banquet last time. After Lu Ning made a mess of it, she had been deliberating whether to call the police and teach Lu Ning a lesson. She could not let her go scot-free for slapping An’an.
However, the Old Master had stopped them and strongly objected to them calling the police. It was obvious that he was protecting Lu Ning.
Shi Qingyue was very uncomfortable with these two points.
She had no feelings for Lu Ning to begin with. Now that her dignity had been trampled on by Lu Ning, she wished she could make her disappear from this world. However, the Old Master was even protecting her, which made her feel even more depressed.
I’ve never seen the Old Master being so protective of An’an!
She felt upset, so she asked many noblewomen out for tea and a stroll, wanting to make herself feel better.
“Madam 12b, I recall that you won one of those pink diamond necklaces at the auction previously, right?”
