Chapter 367 – He had no idea what he did wrong but he knew that it was wrong. (1)

Edited by: Lulu

Mother Lu sighed. She was concerned when her son was clueless. Now, she was still concerned when he was too mature.

Her only hope now was for him to be in a relationship, so he would learn how to open up more to the people and the world around him.

It was already close to evening when Ning Zhi finally arrived at the Lu’s. The sun was setting outside, and she could hear the music starting from the inside.

Ning Zhi had always been able to come and go as she pleased from the Lu’s, but today, for the first time, she was blocked outside.

“Is Lu Jue here? I wish to see him. Can you please let him know?” Ning Zhi’s cheeks were red from her fever. The medicines hadn’t kicked in yet, and the tip of her nose was still red.

The security guard was expressionless. Blocking Ning Zhi outside, he said, “Young Master Lu Jue is not home. Please show your invitation if you wish to go inside.”

Ning Zhi did not have an invitation. She had already tried to phone Lu Jue on her way here, but he did not pick up.

She knew that this would happen. Lu Jue did not know her right now and did not have her number saved on his phone. He did not answer calls from unknown numbers.

“There’s something important that I need to talk to him about. Please let him know.”

Ever since Lu Jue had recovered from his illness and started working at the Lu Corporation, many girls, who were interested in him, had come looking for him at the Lu’s. This was not the first time the security guard had encountered this situation.

The only difference was that this girl was much prettier than the girls he’s seen before.

The security guard just repeated what he said. “Young Master Lu Jue is currently not home. You will need to show your invitation if you wish to go inside.”

Ning Zhi’s eyes dimmed a little. She studied the security guard carefully. It didn’t look like he was lying. Lu Jue truly was not home right now.

“Do you think you can tell me where he is right now?”

The security guard remained expressionless and would not divulge any information. “I’m sorry. We don’t know Young Master Lu Jue’s whereabouts.”

Ning Zhi went silent for a little while. She wanted to wait there for Lu Jue.

She still refused to believe that Lu Jue had truly forgotten about her. That he didn’t remember even just a little about her.

The sky gradually turned darker, and the Lu’s guests arrived one by one.

It was bustling around the Lu’s house. There were lots of fancy cars out front, and many upper-class wives and daughters attending the event arrived with their makeup and pretty gowns on.

There were many people coming and going. Ning Zhi, standing not far away, did not seem out of place. Quite the contrary, her casual clothes, her fair skin, and her pink cheeks attracted a lot of attention.

“Xiao Zhi?” Mother Lin was stunned when she saw her niece standing outside the Lu’s.

She walked over to Ning Zhi. “Aren’t you ill? What are you doing here?”

“I’m here looking for someone.”

Mother Lin was stunned. “Who are you looking for?” She hadn’t expected that her sick niece would come over to the Lu’s.

Lin Tiantian, too, had seen Ning Zhi. Her face dropped. “I’m sure she’s here to see Lu Jue.”

Considering all the guests nearby, Lin Tiantian lowered her voice and scolded Ning Zhi. “How are you so shameless? This is not a place that you should be in. Do you really think that just because you wait here, Lu Jue would pay you any attention?”

Lin Tiantian was so irritated that she could burst out laughing. “Perhaps you need to go and have a doctor check you out, Ning Zhi. I think your brain was damaged from your fever.”

“Tiantian, don’t talk to Xiao Zhi like that,” said Mother Lin.

“Mom, Ning Zhi is making us look bad!” Lin Tiantian sounded very disgruntled. “Just look at what she is doing right now. She is shamelessly squatting outside someone else’s house.”

“Xiao Zhi, why don’t you head home first? You are ill. What you need to do is to get more rest, not run around outside.” Mother Lin, too, was unhappy with Ning Zhi. She felt that Ning Zhi should have know  better than to come here without an invitation.

“I’m not leaving.” Ning Zhi had been there for a little while already. Her throat was dry, and her voice was hoarse from her fever. “You don’t need to be concerned about my actions. I will be taking off from the Lin’s tomorrow.”
