Chapter 874: Chapter 870

Gong Xueyan understood and nodded, "Okay."

Lu Jinxuan frowned, "Aren’t you going to ask me what to do?"

"No." Gong Xueyan shook her head, "There’s no need." Even if she asked, there wasn’t any other choice.

Lu Jinxuan nodded slightly, "Alright... However, I must make it clear to you, Qin Shaoju is a desperado; you’ll be in danger."

"Mm." Gong Xueyan smiled faintly, "I know... But this life of mine has long been owned by the President and the madam. If anything happens, it’s okay, as long as... Susu, I sincerely ask the President and the madam to take good care of my Susu!"

Hearing this, Lu Jinxuan remained silent for a moment.

"Okay, to relieve your worries, I will notify Holy City right now to proceed with Susu’s surgery."

Gong Xueyan’s eyes turned sour as tears fell, "Thank you! Thank you, Mr. President!"

She stood up and bowed slightly, "Rest assured, I will do as you said."

"Xueyan." Lu Jinxuan suddenly called out to her.

"Mm?" Gong Xueyan turned around, smiling at him.

Lu Jinxuan said earnestly, "Thank you."

Gong Xueyan’s nose turned sour as she forced a smile, "No need."

...

’Pa’!

A crisp sound came from Lu Jinxuan’s room.

Everyone knows who is staying in the President’s room now, so... what happened?

Vaguely, the news reached Qin Shaoju.

Qin Shaoju sneered, "Tsk, Gong Xueyan? I knew she couldn’t hold it in, the Gong family young lady, liking Lu Jinxuan for so many years... How could she become friends with her rival in love? Ridiculous!"

Despite the sneer, he realized this was his opportunity!

He’s trapped here now and lacks someone to send messages out. If Gong Xueyan has a fallout with Yu Sangwan, then she’s undoubtedly the best candidate!

But, how can he meet Gong Xueyan?

...

Ailao Mountain.

The girl sneaked over to the telephone. It was afternoon, and there were no patients in the clinic; her father was inside organizing medicines.

The two men who seemed fierce were drunk, slumped over the table, asleep.

The girl took a deep breath and picked up the receiver.

She had memorized the number Lu Qingming wrote down by heart and pressed the 11 digits.

The girl held her breath, not daring to make a sound. The phone rang once but suddenly stopped with a ’bang’.

"Hm?" The girl wasn’t sure what had happened; bewildered, she quickly hung up and dialed again, but this time it wouldn’t connect. What happened?

Unable to connect, anxiety began creeping in.

The two drunkards suddenly woke up.

The girl jumped in fright, and the receiver tumbled to the ground.

"Hm?" The two appeared alert, or perhaps guilty, and seeing the girl’s reaction, knew something was wrong, "Damn brat! What are you doing? Seeing ghosts?"

"Ah?" The girl shook her head vehemently, "No, no..."

"She was calling!"

One of them rushed forward and flipped through the numbers she dialed!

"Damn!" His expression changed instantly, "This number is from Holy City!"

"What?" The other man also became aggressive, raising his hand, "Damn it! Dead brat, you and that Nezha, teaming up against us? Damn it! I don’t dare mess with that little King Yama, but I can deal with you!"

As he spoke, he swung his arm and threw the girl to the ground.

"Ah!"

The girl’s forehead hit the corner of the wall, and blood immediately oozed out.

The doctor rushed in upon hearing the commotion, "What happened?"

Seeing his daughter in that state, he hurried over, holding her, "What... What are you doing?"

"Hmph!" The two men were fiercely intimidating, "The brat dared to report us! Luckily, it didn’t go through; otherwise, she would already be dead by our hands! All of you better behave! Or we’ll have fun with your whole family!"

The girl was in pain, nestled in her father’s arms, and carried into the inner courtyard.

Lu Qingming saw and quickly approached, "Sister, sister, what happened?"

The girl cried, "Brother, I’m sorry, I couldn’t get the call through for you... Wah..."

Not knowing how long the girl slept, when she woke up, Lu Qingming was beside the bed.

"Sister." Lu Qingming’s eyes were red.

No matter how capable he usually was, he was just a six-year-old child. Despite being a proud young master, Lu Qingming, taught by his mother since childhood, was a kind-hearted child. Seeing the girl get hurt because of him, naturally made him sad.

"I’m sorry, sister."

The girl paused, then shook her head hurriedly, "Brother, it’s not your fault! I messed it up myself."

The two children were both self-blaming, the girl reached up to touch her forehead, "Is my head broken?"

"Don’t move." Lu Qingming held her hand, stopping her, "Don’t move; the doctor said it can get infected."

The girl was startled, "Infected... Is the hole big? Will there be a scar later?"

She was a girl, and girls always love beauty. If there’s a big scar on her forehead, how could she face others?

Hearing this, Lu Qingming felt even more guilty, "Sister, you got hurt because of me, if there’s really a scar later, I, I..."

The girl was puzzled, "What will you do?"

"I..." Lu Qingming’s face turned red, "I will be responsible!"

His mom taught him that a real man must stand tall and never bully girls.

"..." The girl was bewildered, "What does being responsible mean?"

Lu Qingming suddenly grabbed her hand, "Sister, my name is Lu Qingming! Remember my name, so if I escape from here in the future, when you hear the name Lu Qingming, you’ll know it’s me!"

"... Oh." The girl, still confused, nodded.

"Sister." Lu Qingming sniffed, "What’s your name?"

The girl suddenly realized they hadn’t introduced themselves, "My name is Ning Meng."

"Lemon?" Lu Qingming couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha... Sister, why do you have such a sour name? Lemon, haha, Lemon..."

"Hmph!" Ning Meng felt shy, "Not the lemon you eat, I’m the ’ning’ of tranquility!"

"Haha..." Nevertheless, Lu Qingming kept laughing, "Haha... Okay, the ’ning’ of tranquility, Lemon, haha..."

"Hmph." Ning Meng got angry and turned her back to him.

Noticing, Lu Qingming held back his laughter, "Ning Meng, don’t be mad, I’m not laughing at you... I think your name sounds nice. Ning Meng, like the bright yellow lemon fruit, so cute, so vibrant!"

"..." Ning Meng pursed her lips, "Is there really such a fruit?"

Lu Qingming was surprised, "You don’t know? You’re named Lemon and you don’t know lemons?"

"My dad told me." Ning Meng nodded, "But we’re too poor here, so I’ve never seen real lemons, only in pictures. Have you seen them with your own eyes?"

"Of course!" Lu Qingming beat his chest, "What haven’t I seen?"

Ning Meng excitedly grabbed him, "Then tell me, what do lemons look like?"

"Yellow, oval, oval, but..." Lu Qingming frowned, "Very sour, not sweet!"

Ning Meng was a little disappointed, "Such a pretty fruit, how can it not be sweet?"

Seeing this, Lu Qingming quickly comforted her, "But, Ning Meng, you’re different, you’re sweet! You’re so gentle, kind, completely different from the lemons on trees."

"Really?" Ning Meng smiled, her eyes forming a crescent moon, "Hehe, thank you."

In this environment, children tend to forget their troubles easily. Because of Ning Meng, Lu Qingming felt it wasn’t so scary here, and the days weren’t dull. Only when thinking of his parents, his heart was anxious.
