====================================================================

In the hustle and bustle of the game hall, Lu Yan was dumbfounded as she watched the game console spit out coins frantically.

Shen Kuo’s sleeves were rolled to his elbows, revealing his white arms. His left hand was quickly mashing the buttons while his right hand steadily controlled the handle.

His face was cold, and his eyes were as dark as the night.

He was not like the other players around him who were either overjoyed or sad. It seemed that the game did not bring him special fun, it was as if he had to complete a task so he does it attentively and carefully, and nothing more.

Lu Yan looked at Shen Kuo’s frosty expression, it was as if he was not seeking entertainment, but rather working.

The tattooed boss watched his machine spit out money frantically, feeling so distressed over the current situation.

After a few rounds, all the money Lu Yan previously owed was spitted.

What kind of game god is this guy!

Lu Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at the boss. He could only laugh dryly, regretting the fact that he provoked a gamer god.

She grabbed a few game coins, ran to the front desk to exchange them with real coins. The real coins were then used to buy a few rice bubble tubes outside before she returned to feed one to Shen Kuo’s mouth.

Shen Kuo’s eyes drooped, looking at the rice bubble tube before looking at Lu Yan, not really understanding what the girl was doing.

Lu Yan smiled innocently, “Please eat.”

“No.”

He refused abruptly, not accustomed to the feeling of others feeding food to his mouth.

“Don’t be fussy. Just eat it.” Lu Yan pushed the rice bubble tube directly into his mouth, “It’s really delicious.”

The rice bubble tube melted in his mouth, the sweet taste sticking to the tip of his tongue.

After all, Shen Kuo took the bubble tube, held it in his hand, and chewed it slowly, eating it with restraint.

Lu Yan chuckled like a hamster, and smiled at him from time to time.

This was the first time Shen Kuo had eaten snacks like this. He would never spend his money on buying these things, no time for snacks.

Lu Yan took a pear from his pocket and bit it down.

Shen Kuo looked at her sideways, and she quickly placated, “I asked you to eat a rice bubble cone. I will eat your pear so it’s fair this way”

He wanted to say that he didn’t allow it, but the sweetness of the tip of the tongue had not yet disappeared. So he paused, and only said lightly, “Pears need to be washed clean.”

“Oh~~”

She shrugged it off and took another bite.

She suddenly felt that teenage Shen Kuo was actually not that scary.

Lu Yan handed him another rice bubble cone. Shen Kuo didn’t say much, and ate it with her.

He had such a happy gaming time after a long time. Furthermore, it was with his rival’s sister. Shen Kuo felt a little weird.

But it was difficult for him to refuse this girl, especially… with the way she smiled at him.

Lu Yan didn’t expect that Shen Kuo’s game skills were so good. They made a lot of money that afternoon. Although the game currency was not much money, they collected all of Lu Yan’s debt.

The other boys around begged Shen Kuo to help them play a few rounds. Shen Kuo didn’t even look at them, turned and left, “Let’s go.”

“Oh, okay.”

Lu Yan followed him step by step and walked out of the game hall. Just as she walked to the street, she bumped into Lu Zhen and his buddies who came to play games.

When Lu Zhen saw Shen Kuo, his face sank. When he turned his head, he saw Lu Yan who was following Shen Kuo again.

He was angry, and without a word, he smashed Shen Kuo’s face with a punch.

Shen Kuo was caught off guard. His face was hit by Lu Zhen’s fist, causing his whole body to stagger to the side. He leaned against the wall and barely stabilized his heels. The pear bag in his hand also flew out and scattered all over the place. Some rolled to the middle of the street and were crushed by a car.

Lu Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly ran up to Shen Kuo, opening her arms to block Lu Zhen, “Why did you hit someone without asking anything!”

He held her by the back of her collar, and said angrily, “Don’t you know what a bad person he is? Don’t you dare get along with him!”

Lu Yan shook off Lu Zhen’s hand and retorted angrily, “What I saw is that you are bullying him! You are the one who…”

She didn’t finish her sentence. If she dared to scold her dad like this, she might be struck by lightning.

Lu Zhen threw Lu Yan to his buddies to restrain her. He stepped forward, kicked away the pear beside Shen Kuo. Lu Zhen’s hand held up Shen Kuo’s collar and slammed him against the wall and said, “You can touch any woman around me. But this girl, if you dare to touch her, I’ll let you die.”

Shen Kuo’s dark eyes flashed with a hint of chill, and he even chuckled his lips and smiled evilly–

“Sure.”

He answered so readily that Lu Zhen didn’t believe it, but he didn’t want to pester this guy anymore. He threw him away before he grabbed Lu Yan’s hand and strode away.

Lu Yan staggered, turning around to see the silent young man stooping to pick up the pear on the ground, and patting the dust on it.

For a moment, her heart was stung by his forbearing eyes.

Lu Zhen grabbed her and walked home. At the entrance of the alley, Lu Yan broke away from him like an angry puffed little hamster, questioning him angrily, “I didn’t expect you to be like this!”

Even though she was a spoiled and rich second-generation, she also knows not to bully the weak. Be open and upright, and this is what her father taught her word by word.

How could she imagine that her upright and stable father was such a hooligan when he was young!

“Dad, you really let me down!”

Lu Zhen’s mouth twitched. He reached out and patted the back of her head, “You’re really stupid for saying you’re retarded, huh? I grew up with this kind of virtue, you have to blame the old man for only having the company’s interest in his heart. He did not teach us well.”

Lu Yan looked at him. This rotten mud that could not hold up the wall and vowed to be a rogue all his life. It was really hard to imagine what he had experienced to transform into a righteous gentleman in the future.

“No matter what, I will not allow you to contact Shen Kuo in the future.” Lu Zhen told her solemnly, “If I catch you again, you’ll be in for a treat.”

Lu Yan asked, still unconvinced, “Why do you hate him so much?”

“That’s because he’s already annoying, pretentious, hypocritical to the extreme, and a rotten person.”

“How is he a rotten person?”

Lu Zhen was about to speak, suddenly remembered something, and stopped talking, “Anyway, don’t spend time with him, he’s no good!”

He stammered and refused to say, of course Lu Yan was even more curious about this matter. In the final analysis, it was necessary to know how the bell was tied to untie the bell. Only by clarifying the grievances between Dad and Shen Kuo could they resolve their conflicts.

Lu Yan felt that she was too worried as a daughter, but who said it was not a present-day reward for her dad? Her father did not worry any less about her in her previous life.

Because she was a premature baby, she was frail and sick since she was a child. Her father gave up all his life and entertainment time and spent all his energy on her. In order to make her drink bitter Chinese medicine, the father and daughter were playing chase every day…

In any case, Lu Yan must also pull her father back on track to prevent Shen Kuo from enacting revenge against him.

She told Lu Jian that she wanted to study at Beicheng No. 3 Middle School.

Her aunt used to go to a special education school because of her IQ. However, as a normal person, Lu Yan didn’t want to attend special education classes.

During the meal, Lu Yan proposed to go to Beicheng No. 3 Middle School with her brother. Before Lu Jian could speak, Shi Ya, who was sitting at the end of the table, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She was the only one at the table who laughed, and Lu Jian asked sternly, “What are you laughing at?”

Shi Xuexian glared at Shi Ya, and the latter immediately suppressed her smile, “Ah, I…I just thought about a joke my friend told me yesterday.”

Lu Yan raised her head and glanced at Shi Ya. The mockery in her eyes was clear. She felt that Lu Yan was a mentally retarded child and was not qualified to attend Beicheng No. 3 Middle School, the best city in the province.

Lu Jian asked Lu Yan, “Yanyan, why do you want to go to Beicheng No. 3 Middle School?”

“I want to study with Lu Zhen.”

She had to stay by his side and watch him, and figure out what happened between him and Shen Kuo.

As a qualified rebellious young rich man, Lu Zhen never went home after class most of the time. Fortunately, he was not at the table at the moment, otherwise he would definitely oppose it firmly.

“In school, I can still help Grandpa take care of him.” Lu Yan said sincerely.

Lu Jian smiled, and put a chicken leg in front of Lu Yan, “Live your own life, and don’t care about what the damned kid is doing.”

He was already quite disappointed in him.

Lu Yan definitely didn’t want Lu Jian to give up Lu Zhen, so she replied ,”He still listens to me sometimes, and I also want to try to be a normal child.”

Sometimes Lu Jian really felt that, except for the confusion of him being her granddad and Lu Zhen being her dad, her daughter was still a fairly normal child in other aspects. He was poked in his heart by the last sentence.

He agreed to let Lu Yan go to Beicheng No. 3 Middle School to study. At this time, Shi Xuexian added appropriately, “Yaya is also preparing for the independent enrollment examination of Beicheng No. 3 Middle School, so she can lend Yanyan the review materials. The two sisters can study together. “

Shi Ya also chimed in,” Yes, I can lend her my materials. Yan Yan, the three independent admission tests are very difficult, you have to study hard! “

Lu Yan knew that she was deliberately trying to ridicule her. That girl clearly knew that her step-sister was a mentally retarded child. leaving the entrance examination alone, even the simplest maths was difficult for her.

Lu Jian didn’t expect her to learn anything. At any rate, it was good for her to grow up and be accompanied by her peers in school.

Shi Ya was deliberately mocking Lu Yan, but Shi Xuexian was not. She had a deeper plan.

Lu Jian said, “Yanyan doesn’t need to prepare for entrance exams. The principal of No. 3 Middle School has been my old friend for many years. I’ll just talk to him.”

Shi Xuexian said quickly, “Ah, that’s great. Yaya, how are you preparing for the exam? Are you confident?”

Shi Ya discerned the deep meaning in Shi Xuexian’s eyes and replied, “Well, the topics are difficult, but I will try my best, I’ve been staying up late these days to study my homework.”

“Don’t work too hard, look at you, you’ve lost weight.”

“Mom, it’s not hard, I really want to go to Beicheng No. 3 Middle School .”

The mother and daughter sang together and played a bitter trick, wanting to let Lu Jian bring Shi Ya with him when greeting the principal.

Lu Yan took a step ahead of Lu Jian and said, “You don’t need to ask the principal, I can take the test myself.”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xuexian and Shi Ya looked at Lu Yan with surprised in their easy.

Lu Jian asked her, “Yanyan, are you sure? Do you want to take the test yourself?”

“Yeah.”

Shi Xuexian said with a smile, “Yanyan has also learned to joke.”

Lu Yan replied blankly, “I didn’t make a joke. Otherwise, it’s unfair for the other students.”

Shi Xuexian’s face looked a little ugly. She just hinted that she wanted Lu Jian to help Shi Ya by using his connections. Now Lu Yan said such a thing, it is clear that she would lose face.

Lu Jian laughed and said admiringly, “It really is the daughter of my Lu family. That’s great. Since you have the heart, then take the test by yourself. Dad doesn’t care about you.”

“Okay.”

Shi Ya bit down her lower lip and looked at Lu Yan angrily, she wanted to see how the mentally retarded child would take the test!

The difficulty of the entrance examination for the third high school could be said to be five stars. Shi Ya was usually considered hardworking, but even she was a little reluctant to take the third high school’s test. Not to mention the mentally retarded child, she just planned to wait to see a good show.
