Chapter 124 - 124 What's Your Goal
124 What’s Your Goal
Before Huo Jinyan could speak, Lu Ning suddenly leaned closer to look at him again.
“Huo Jinyan, what’s your goal?”
There was not much emotion in her beautiful eyes, but her pitch-black eyes seemed to be able to read one’s thoughts.
Huo Jinyan gazed straight at her, unafraid of her. His eyes dimmed. “What do you think my goal is?”
Lu Ning looked at him with a smirk. “‘The dream of the future head of the Huo family is to be a teacher in a small city’. How’s that for a headliner?”
Huo Jinyan glanced at her eyelashes. “You can think of such an eye-catching title, but in your language tests you can’t even score higher than the number of words in that sentence?”
Lu Ning blinked. “That’s because the answers in test papers have to be realistic, while this title expresses something so unreal it’s intangible. I won’t score any points even if I write it because it was wrong from the beginning.”
The wound behind Huo Jinyan’s ear itched a little, but he was unmoved. “What’s right and wrong? And how can you judge what’s real and unreal?”
Lu Ning looked at him and smiled.
“Using our heart.”
Huo Jinyan was stunned.
The two of them did not seem to have said anything during their mutual probing, but it also seemed like they had said everything.
Lu Ning slowly stood up. “Please send me back. Sorry to trouble you, Teacher.”
She seemed to have become that obedient student again, whereas just now she was being the rebellious her.
Huo Jinyan stood up and helped her back.
When he saw her to the door of the ward, Huo Jinyan spontaneously asked something else.
“That day, when you vomited on me, was it when you first found out your identity?”
Lu Ning looked at him and nodded.
Huo Jinyan watched as she walked in, and closed the door. He stood there for a while before preparing to leave.
Turning around, he saw Lu Qing oncoming.
“Teacher Huo, are you leaving?”
Huo Jinyan nodded.
Lu Ning opened the door from behind and walked out. “Huo Jinyan, your bag!”
She thought that Huo Jinyan had already walked far away, so she shouted a little louder. In the end, however, she saw that he was still at the door.
Lu Qing looked at her in confusion.
Lu Ning immediately corrected herself. “Teacher Huo, you forgot your things.”
Huo Jinyan returned to take it.
Lu Ning turned around and closed the door.
“Let me send you off, Teacher Huo.”
Since Lu Qing insisted on sending him off, Huo Jinyan did not say anything.
When they were at the door, Lu Qing asked Huo Jinyan, “Teacher Huo, you became a teacher on a whim, right? You seem to be about my age.”
Huo Jinyan turned to look at him. “Maybe. What do you want to ask?”
Lu Qing’s face darkened. “Little Ning is still underage.”
Huo Jinyan looked at him and suddenly laughed, but Lu Qing did not understand what he meant.
He turned, and next he was gone.
——————
Lù Yue’an actually knew that Old Master Lù had gone to the hospital to see Lu Ning. She had gone out earlier simply to let him see her.
At the same time, she also became certain of one thing: the old man did not hate Lu Ning as much as he made it seem. Everyone was spreading rumors that the Old Master of the Lù family was ashamed of Lu Ning, and yet, he would go to the hospital to see her. If he really wanted to avoid her, why would he bother to go?
Lù Yue’an clenched her fists.
It’s fine. I’m now the Young Mistress of the Lù family. In the future, a portion of everything in the Lù family would be mine!
None of this would matter!
In any case, she would soon be officially announced as the young mistress of the Lù family.
Her birthday was in half a month’s time, and the Lù family had already prepared a grand birthday banquet. There, they would officially introduce Lù Yue’an to everyone and announce that she was the real young mistress of the Lù family.
At the thought of this, Lù Yue’an felt a little pleased.
