They were all floored.
No matter how they looked at it, it did not seem like it was bought from a roadside stall.
The gemstone sparkled so brightly that it has to be real.
Previously, an auction house had auctioned two pink diamond necklaces. One of them was exactly the same as the one Lu Ning had held that day.
This imitation was really fast. In an instant, there was the exact same design, and it even looked so real.
“Lu Ning, which roadside stall is it? Can you bring us there after school?” Lu Ning: “I have something on, so it’s not convenient for me after school.”
“How about tomorrow or the day after? We’ll be free.”
Lu Ning:
At this moment, a deep voice came from behind. “If you’re so free, then how about studying more?
Everyone turned around cautiously when they heard that voice. Huo Jinyan’s steely face instantly appeared in front of them.
“Teacher Huo!”
“Hello, Teacher Huo. Goodbye, Teacher Huo!”
In a flash, everyone around them ran away.
Only Lu Ning stood where she was and looked at him.
Huo Jinyan glanced at her. “Why aren’t you running?
Not only did Lu Ning not run away, she even took two steps forward to look at him.
“Why are you here?”
Huo Jinyan looked at her. “For class.”
Lu Ning: “Can’t you take a leave of absence?
Huo Jinyan walked forward. “There’s no need.”
Lu Ning followed him. “What do you mean there’s need it? You look terrible. If something really happens…”
Huo Jinyan suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
Lu Ning was caught off guard as he stopped abruptly while walking in front of her.
She looked back at him.
“I thought you were scared of me.”
Lu Ning was stunned. “Teacher Huo, isn’t it normal for students to be afraid of teachers?”
Huo Jinyan looked at her, his eyes shrouded in shadow.
Lu Ning: Well, I’m not that afraid anymore. You’re a patient now, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
Huo Jinyan suddenly stepped closer to her, and Lu Ning subconsciously took two steps back.
“Patient? Can my being a patient erase all those dangerous rumors? Hmm?”
Lu Ning looked at the face which was so close to hers. “It can’t, but you’ve already called me Mom once so I have to care about you no matter what.
There’s no conflict.”
Huo Jinyan was startled by what she said, and the dangerous aura around him instantly dissipated. “What?”
I called her what?
Lu Ning peered up at him, looking all self-righteous.
“When you were unconscious that day, you held my hand and called me Mom. Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten! Men really are pig-brained, they can even forget how they addressed someone.”
She looked at Huo Jinyan’s blank expression and continued, “I saved your life, so I have to make sure you recover well. I’ll stop asking so much when you’re better; and you’d better listen to me, or I’ll keep pestering you nonstop!’ After saying that, she glared at him and turned to leave.
Huo Jinyan stood rooted there for a long time before turning around.
In the end, he could not help but smile helplessly as he climbed the stairs.
Lu Ning had just sat down in the classroom. Before she could store her bag in her desk, she was surrounded in an instant.
“Ning’ning, are you wearing your necklace? Can we take a look?”
Lu Ning looked at them and could not help but smile apologetically. “I’m sorry, I gave it to my brother to play yesterday. He doesn’t know where he left it, and we haven’t found it yet.”
Lu Jingzhi, who was far away in school: Achoo!
The girls exclaimed regretfully, “Then you have to look for it properly, that necklace is so beautiful! It must be very expensive.”
“No, I bought it from a roadside stall. Not too shabby, right?”
“You bought it from a roadside stall? It must be really worthwhile as it’s so beautiful! Which roadside stall is it? Can you tell us?”
Lu Ning smiled. “Alright, let me ask my brother. He’s the one who bought it..”
