CH 95

Lu Jinye had his head lowered assembling a gun. He heard footsteps and raised his head to see Lu Wan coming.

Lu Wan’s thoughts turned again and again, before finally deciding to get straight to the point.

“Uncle, I don’t think the Jiang family have any good intentions. Recently, someone from the Zhao family has also transferred to my class. It can be seen that the Zhao family has never given up. Will they collude to make trouble?”

Lu Jinye: “Our Wanwan is very far-sighted. But just because they want to go after me, it doesn’t mean it’s possible.”

Lu Wan: “What if there’s a mole? I mean if they conspired with an important person.”

Lu Jinye was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her seriously. “Wanwan, what makes you think so?”

Lu Wan: “Probably intuition. If I were Madam Jiang, it will undoubtedly be a good step to conspire with my opponent’s close associates.”

Shopping malls were like battlefields, and such things were actually quite common.

Lu Jinye pondered for a moment and said seriously, “I know. I’ll be careful. Then do you have someone you suspect?”

He greatly valued this niece, so he would naturally believe every word she said.

Regardless of the fact that Lu Wan still doesn’t know anything about the company right now.

Having said that, she must have given it careful thought.

Other than that, Lu Jinye was only 20 years old when he started helping the family.

Not much older than Lu Wan.

Lu Wan: “Not yet.”

But as long as his uncle was on guard, those people might not succeed.

Their whole family was just a backdrop to support the happiness of the protagonists, and there were only a few sentences written about them in the original novel. Lu Wan had a hard time figuring it out.

Lu Jinye looked at the frowning person.

He felt that Lu Wan had a boyish air about her.

This actually had nothing to do with the length of the hair. It was the indomitable and fearless youthful energy.

Because of this, the elder uncles and Ah Biao like her very much.

“Wanwan, what do you want to do in the future? How about inheriting my group?” Lu Jinye asked somewhat carelessly.

Lu Wan told the truth, “I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Lu Jinye: “Or perhaps just like your father, pursue academia?”

Although in this case, he would inevitably be a little disappointed, but as long as it was her dream, he would support her.

Lu Wan shrugged and said frankly. “I really didn’t think about it carefully, but when I returned back then, I thought that I should be true to myself in the future.”

She would never hide again, no matter whether it was gender or other aspects.

Lu Jinye: “Yourself?”

Lu Wan nodded her head. “I hope that in the future, the ‘me’ in the eyes of others and my real self will become unified.”

Hearing her words, Lu Jinye’s heart suddenly became very soft.

He said lovingly, “It will be. Uncle will always support you behind your back.”

The weather was growing colder and Christmas was only a week away.

Lu Wan and Chen Nianqing finished the latest recording of 《Math and Science Tournament》, and now there were only eight people left.

The finals would be recorded half a month later.

The final episode would not be recorded in advance, but would be broadcast live.

When the two of them set off from the TV station to the airport, snow fell from the sky.

This was the first snow of the year and passersby exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Nianqing took off the scarf around his neck and went over to put it on Lu Wan. “Girls are afraid of the cold. Don’t get sick.”

“No need. I’m not an ordinary girl.” Lu Wan took off the scarf and returned it to the other party. Smiling, she added, “If you don’t believe me, touch my hand, it’s very warm.”

Chen Nianqing froze for a moment, then reached out to touch the other person’s hand two seconds later.

Her temperature was surprisingly higher than his.

The two people’s hands were placed together, forming a sharp contrast.

Chen Nianqing’s hands were of someone that studied musical instruments, with fair complexion, long fingers, and beautiful nails, like a work of art.

Lu Wan’s hands were big, with distinct joints, and there were various tiny scars on it, all of which were left from previous jobs or injuries.

In comparison, Chen Nianqing’s hands were more like a girl’s.

Lu Wan arrived home in the early morning and received a bunch of Christmas presents.

All sent by those uncles.

She doesn’t accept sports cars, money, or expensive gifts.

Basically all the things sent last time were returned, except for the hair growth essential oil.

After all, in this world, almost no one could refuse hair growth products.

A problem arose. Those uncles were worried that the gifts would be returned and they would lose face, so they all gave hair growth essential oils.

She didn’t know whether they had sent it by coincidence, or they have discussed to send it together.

A bottle or a set was too little and each person gave hundreds of sets.

Lu Wan was struck dumb. This would last until eternity. A bit too over-the-top.

Lu Buyu teased at the side. “How afraid are you of losing hair? You can also apply it on your legs to promote the growth of leg hair. It will make you more masculine. How can a real man have no leg hair?!”

Lu Wan: “……”

This guy probably wanted to eat apples again. But since Christmas Eve was approaching and the price of apples was very high, she better not.

Lu Wan stood up, looked at him calmly, and shouted without warning, “Old Lu— Dad, Lu Buyu scolded me again.”

Ten seconds later, Professor Lu ran down with the book he was reading and gave his son a smack as he admonished him.

Lu Wan made room for the two of them and give them free rein. She went up the stairs humming.

Halfway through, she glanced back at Lu Buyu who was in the throes of death.

As for those essential oils, Lu Wan had a good idea. Wasn’t it nearly Christmas? She heard that many students would prepare gifts for each other.

Shangde High School was an aristocratic private school, not an exam-oriented one. The third year was not much different from other grades, except for the additional monthly exams.

This Christmas and the upcoming New Year’s Day, the school would have activities. Especially for the New Year, they said that there would be a big celebration.

Lu Wan decided to give each student a bottle of essential oil as gift. They could even ask her for another if they ran out.

After all, it would be a waste if it just expired at home.
