After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

50 Scar

“…”

Lu Zhi looked at her rather seriously.

Lu Ning was completely baffled by her father’s current behavior.

However, she did not take him seriously and thought he was simply pulling her leg.

She raised her eyebrows and grinned. “That’s a pity, guess I’ll have to move out for a while; I won’t be able to grow to my full potential if we’re too rich. I was especially excited when I heard that our family was broke, so I came without any hesitation whatsoever! But…”

Lu Zhi hurriedly cut her off, “Our family’s very, very poor!”

Lu Ning chortled and looked at Lu Zhi. “Daddy, you shouldn’t joke around too much. Let’s go home.”

Lu Zhi let out a sigh, rode the scooter, and drove home with Lu Ning.

On the way back, Lu Ning asked about Lu Jingzhi.

“Dad, is Jingzhi starting school tomorrow?”

“Yes, your mom and I will be sending him tomorrow.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Lu Zhi glanced back at her, perplexed. “Don’t you have school tomorrow?”

Before Lu Ning could answer him, in that instant when Lu Zhi turned his head around, a black sedan bolted before them out of nowhere. Lu Zhi hastily braked, but the scooter still scraped against the body of the black sedan.

He swerved in a panic, and it swayed unsteadily before pitching to the right. Lu Zhi tried his best to retain control, but could not.

Lu Ning was thrown to the ground amidst all this turmoil.

“Ning’ning, are you alright?!”

Lu Zhi frantically went over to help Lu Ning up.

The electric scooter had carved two bloody streaks on her leg, but she was otherwise no worse for wear.

“I’m fine, Daddy.”

“How can you be fine? You’re bleeding! Daddy will bring you to the hospital.”

“I’m really alright, Daddy. There’s no need for me to go to the hospital.”

Lu Ning raised her head and spotted someone getting out of the car.

It was a man who looked to be in his twenties.

“My apologies, are you injured? Shall I bring you to the hospital for a checkup?”

Lu Zhi was irked; small roads such as this were not meant for cars to enter.

“Don’t you look at the road signs while you’re driving? Cars aren’t allowed on this road!”

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice. Miss, you seem to be injured, let me take you to the hospital.”

Lu Ning waved him away. “No need.”

Hearing this, the man pulled his wallet from his pocket. “In that case, allow me to compensate you.”

Lu Ning held Lu Zhi back. “There’s no need, your car has also been scratched.”

The man nonchalantly waved his hand. “It’s fine, people are more important. Miss, are you really alright?”

Lu Ning tried her best to keep things peaceable. The other party was very accommodating, so she did not want to squabble with him and cause a scene. The repair fees for the car would certainly be more expensive; had the other party been more uncompromising, she would be hard-pressed to avoid compensating them for the repair fees. If it came down to that, it would be an additional expense…

At the thought of this, Lu Ning shook her head. “Be more careful in the future. I’m fine, please leave.”

The man smiled apologetically. Before he left, he helped Lu Zhi stand the electric scooter up.

A man in the back seat of the black sedan rested his arm by the window as he observed the situation outside.

His gaze shifted from Lu Ning to her ankle.

There was a faint scar on Lu Ning’s ankle.

When the man got into the car and was about to drive off, Lu Ning noticed the man in the backseat.

She could not see his face clearly, but there was a long scar on his arm that was resting against the car window. It was very obvious, extending from his wrist to his elbow.

The car drove past the father and daughter.

Lu Zhi hurriedly brought Lu Ning home.

When he got home, he rummaged through the cabinets for a first aid kit.

Shen Yunci was slicing fruits in the kitchen. When she heard the ruckus, she came out and saw Lu Ning, her back facing her.

“Ning’ning, come have some fruit.” She asked, “What’s your dad looking for?”
