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

70 Even Harder to Explain

There was another full-time employee at the café, and Lu Ning was also very punctual. She only had to help for an hour at noon, and she could get off work at nine o’clock in the evening.

Lu Ning got off work on time today, and Lin Ci was following behind her.

She was worried and insisted on accompanying Lu Ning.

Lu Ning could not dissuade her.

Lin Ci glanced at Lu Ning seated on the scooter.

“Can you ride?”

Lu Ning smiled and patted the back seat. “Get on, miss. I promise I won’t let you get hurt.”

Lin Ci burst out in laughter, and sat in the back.

Lu Ning rode the white scooter, while Lu Zhi was riding the pink one.

“Didn’t expect you to be so good at driving.”

Lin Ci praised her from the back.

Lu Ning smiled and said, “That’s a given…”

Before she could finish, the scooter suddenly jolted and Lu Ning braked abruptly; Lin Ci’s face was squashed into her back.

“Come on, sis, I just praised you! Can’t you, hey, where are you going…”

Lu Ning got down from the scooter and ran towards a construction site by the roadside.

Lin Ci sat in the backseat and stabilized the scooter. She was at a loss.

“Little Ning, I don’t know how to ride…”

Lu Ning behaved as if she did not hear her.

Lin Ci felt that she was acting strange. She supported herself with the scooter and stood up, then, she laid the scooter down by the roadside and went towards her.

There was a row of electric scooters parked by the side of the road, and one of them was an eye-catching pink.

“Eh? Isn’t this the one Uncle Lu rode that day?”

She seemed to understand something. She ran beside Lu Ning and stuck her head in with her.

Metal barricades walled the construction site in, leaving only the entrance open.

The two of them leaned against the entrance and peered inside.

It was dark, and only a few lights were on around the construction site, but the workers’ helmets also had headlamps.

Lu Ning quickly spotted Lu Zhi within all that busyness.

She had never asked Lu Zhi what his job was, but when he came to pick her up covered in dirt that time she should have been able to make a vague guess, though she did not think in that direction.

Lu Zhi was pushing a handcart filled with bricks. It looked very heavy and took a lot of effort to push. After going back and forth a few times, he was sweating profusely, sweat trickling down his face.

Lu Ning looked at him for a long while, tears streaming from her eyes.

She watched her father, working hard to earn money. She simply… Felt sorry for him.

“Little Ning… are we going to greet Uncle?”

Lu Ning shook her head and wiped her tears. “No, I’m going to be late. Let’s go.”

Lin Ci looked at her and rubbed away her tears with her hand. “Alright.”

There was no shame in any job, nor was there any disgrace in earning money. Nevertheless, she was afraid that Lu Zhi would feel uncomfortable if she ran over.

The two of them walked back to the scooter and rode away silently.

…

Not long after the two of them left, a black sedan nearby also drove away.

Inside the construction site, the two people standing beside Lu Zhi tapped a button on a receiver in their ears, then informed Lu Zhi.

“President Lu, that person has left.”

Lu Zhi nodded. After finishing the work at hand, he turned around and left with them.

He walked out of the construction site and stood by the entrance. As he took off his hard hat, he dusted the dirt off his body.

“President Lu, I spotted two girls peeking in just now; they seemed to be looking at you. Did you see them?”

Lu Zhi looked at him incredulously. “Girls?”

He immediately realized something. “Does one of them have a bandage on her forehead?”

That person nodded. Lu Zhi was at a loss.

It’s over! Now it’s going to be even harder to explain!
