Chapter 207 - 199: Wild Picnic (Part 4)
Lu Yun soothed Wu Xiuyu with a smile, then smiled at Liu Jinli.
"Liu Jinli, I really didn’t know that my parents were so concerned about the long distance to school that they didn’t want me squeezing on the bus every day, which is why they specifically asked Uncle Xu to pick me up and drop me off. How is it that the heartfelt care of parents for their child becomes something shameful when it reaches your lips?"
"You’re lying. If that person is really a driver hired by your parents, why do you call him ’Uncle’?"
Liu Jinli was taken aback, panicked for a moment. But then she shook her head, unwilling to believe that this plainly dressed and unremarkable student in front of her could actually have a car arranged for her, with a driver specifically hired to pick her up and drop her off.
Liu Jinli didn’t believe it, and there were still a small portion of students who were skeptical. However, most of those who had managed to get into B University were not fools, and after a thoughtful glance at those boxes, most of them were already convinced.
"Is his age not suitable for me to call him ’Uncle’?" Lu Yun chuckled, "That’s right, it’s no wonder. You let your brain atrophy, and need to use your toes to think things through; what else could come out except for nasty, filthy things?"
"Haha, right, Liu Jinli, why do you refuse to use your perfectly good brain, and prefer to use your toes to think instead? Could it be that you’re different from others and actually use your brain for walking?"
Wu Xiuyu laughed heartily, feeling a sense of relief as if a weight of resentment had finally lifted from her heart.
"You, you all..." Liu Jinli, of course, did not want to let things go easily. Since she had already offended people and ripped off the pretense, why not just have a full-blown argument and see who’s afraid of who, right?
But what she hadn’t expected was the moment her gaze met Lu Yun’s eyes, she suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt and an uncontrollable fear that left her stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.
