Upon hearing Lu Lingyue’s words, Lu Hong rely smiled lightly. He didn’t comnt on Lu Lingyue’s actions, despite her having a large sum of money but still tutoring others for extra cash. At least, until he was able to earn money himself, he wasn’t going to interfere.
As her brother, he naturally understood the importance of education, but for the past two years, it was this younger sister who had shouldered the family’s burdens. What right did he have to criticize her for doing anything wrong?
Knock, knock, knock...
As the two chatted idly, a crisp knocking at the door interrupted them.
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Lingyue rose to open the door, seeing a middle-aged man dressed in a suit. She instantly smiled, "Mr. Fang, what brings you here?"
Lu Hong looked over at the sound, seeing a face he didn’t recognize; he had never t this person.
Lu Lingyue quickly stepped forward to explain, "Brother, this is the Mr. Fang I ntioned, who helped us secure compensation from Sky Ga Headquarters."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong cast a grateful glance at Mr. Fang, feeling it wasn’t enough, he wanted to rise and express his thanks.
Seeing Lu Hong struggling to get up, Mr. Fang hurriedly interrupted, "Ah, ah, ah, no need to get up, it’s just a small gesture on my part. I heard about your awakening yesterday and got curious, so I ca by to check on you. After all, you were the world champion at Sky Ga two years ago!"
"You overpraise , Mr. Fang. Without your help, there would be no present for my sister and . Thank you for your tily rescue, I’m deeply grateful," Lu Hong replied.
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s response, Mr. Fang chuckled and spoke to Lu Lingyue, "Liyue, it’s almost noon. Why don’t you go and get so food for your brother? I have so things related to ga accounts that I wish to discuss with your brother."
Upon hearing Mr. Fang’s words, Lu Lingyue hesitantly glanced at Lu Hong.
After seeing Lu Hong nod, Lu Lingyue then turned to leave, closing the door behind her.
After Lu Lingyue left, Mr. Fang sat down on the chair next to Lu Hong’s hospital bed and began, "Mr. Lu truly has a good sister!"
Upon hearing Mr. Fang’s words, Lu Hong smiled and agreed, "My sister is indeed very capable, and it has been hard for her for the past two years. But without your help, our siblings wouldn’t have made it through. Once I recover, I will definitely return the favor for your great kindness."
Mr. Fang waved his hand and said, "No need to repay ; the reason the headquarters agreed to pay you three million in compensation was mostly due to Young Master Luo."
"Young Master Luo?" Lu Hong paused, having never heard of this na.
"Young Master Luo is your sister’s classmate from middle school and high school. He scored 718 points, second in the city, just two points shy of your sister’s score, and was admitted to City No. 1 High School. Therefore, he is familiar with your family’s situation. Two years ago, after noticing your sister’s repeated absences from school, he went to understand the circumstances and facilitated our compensation from Tian’s Company. Young Master Luo ntioned that Lingyue is a hardworking, diligent, and smart child who shouldn’t be left idle. Thus, if you wish to repay the favor, it should be to him directly, not to ."
Upon hearing Mr. Fang’s explanation, Lu Hong nodded, "Since that is the case, once I’m mobile, I must invite Young Master Luo to our ho to express my gratitude."
"Very well, very well. Young Master Luo is kind and polite, I’m sure you’ll like him." After saying this, Mr. Fang got up, adjusted his suit, and said, "It’s almost noon, I won’t keep you any longer. When I have the ti, I’ll co visit you again."
After saying this, Mr. Fang turned and left.
Watching Mr. Fang leave, Lu Hong’s expression grew slightly dark. Young Master Luo, no matter how you hear it, it doesn’t sound like anything good.
After a while, Lu Lingyue returned with the food.
She first helped Lu Hong sit up, arranged the food, then curiously asked, "What did Mr. Fang talk to you about just now?"
"Oh, nothing much, just about account matters. By the way, Lingyue, how are things at school? Are you being bullied?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingyue pouted, "Brother, what era do we live in now? There’s hardly any campus bullying. Plus, I’m the top in the school; teachers treat like a treasure, who would dare bully ?"
"Oh? No one’s bullying my sister, then..."
Lu Hong’s tone suddenly shifted, "I wonder if there is soone who likes my sister, or is she in a relationship?"
Upon those words, Lu Lingyue’s cheeks imdiately turned bright red.
"Brother, you... you speak nonsense!"
Seeing his sister’s flustered expression, Lu Hong laughed heartily, "I was just joking, don’t take it to heart!"
Despite the explanation, there’s a stirring discomfort within Lu Hong’s heart. His sister, who just started high school, is already being wooed?
From his sister’s expression, even a fool could see there’s definitely sothing going on. Even if they aren’t together yet, it seems it’s nearing an announcent. It’s surely mutual affection not yet public.
Thinking to this point, Lu Hong suddenly found the food in his mouth tasteless.
His mind was filled with conjectures about that boy, but Lu Hong didn’t know any of Lu Lingyue’s classmates; the only one he recognized was the one he had just learned about, Young Master Luo!
Damn it, it’s 90% likely that it’s this Young Master Luo, who took the opportunity over the past two years and captured his sister’s heart.
No way, she’s only in high school; he can’t let his sister get into a relationship!
And who knows, during these two years while he was in the hospital, did Lingyue and the boy ever share a bed?
Have they kissed already?
Or have they only gotten to the stage of holding hands?
Lu Hong’s mind raced frantically, a muddle of thoughts.
Ti passed swiftly, and three months later, Lu Hong, who had been diligently cooperating with the doctors in his rehabilitation treatnt, was now fully recovered. Though still sowhat weak physically, he was ready to leave the hospital and return ho.
Stepping off the taxi, Lu Hong was puzzled by the drastic change in street scenery over these two years, but upon realizing where he stood, he understood—damn it, it seed like they’d moved.
Feeling sowhat disheartened, he looked to Lu Lingyue and asked, "Lingyue, we’ve moved?"
"Yes," Lu Lingyue nodded. "The old neighborhood had issues with the power supply system; otherwise, you wouldn’t have ended up in the hospital, so I moved us out."
"Then, who found the house for you, and who helped you move the furniture?" Initially, Lu Hong wanted to reminisce about the past and regain a sense of familiarity.
Instead, they were now relocated from an old rundown neighborhood to the most luxurious wealthy district in the city. The housing here was primarily villas or duplex structures; a property cost no less than four or five million, and those priced at four or five million were rely on the outskirts of the district. The further in you go, the pricier it gets, and it wasn’t just a matter of money—connections were essential. This district was one Lu Hong had fantasized about before, wishing he could live there once he made a fortune; now, he could reside there, but he wasn’t feeling joyous at all.
Suddenly, Lu Hong detested Young Master Luo even more; this was definitely his handiwork! He absolutely intends to court his sister! How infuriating!
"Brother, let’s go inside!"
Standing at the district gate, with a suitcase in tow, they didn’t need to move it themselves before a district security guard swiftly approached them, saluting Lu Lingyue and Lu Hong. "Security No. 0187 from Ziyuan District greets the owners. May I assist in transporting your luggage?"
To this, Lu Lingyue seed accustod, smiling, "Thank you very much."
"Serving the owners is our honor and duty!" Security No. 0187 saluted again, then picked up the suitcase and followed closely behind them.
Upon entering the district, there was an automated walkway; they only needed to input the destination, and the levitating platform beneath their feet would ferry them to the designated area.
Lu Hong watched as Lu Lingyue clicked on the building closest to the center.
The guard following them saw Lu Lingyue pressing for the tenth building, his deanor grew increasingly respectful, knowing there were only three residences in the tenth building. Two were occupied by city officials, one of whom was a deputy mayor; living near such officials implies a certain influential background!
