Chapter 104 -104 Provincial Finance College

“What?”

Mrs. Lu licked her cracked lips nervously and cautiously asked, “What does that mean? Is it something not so good?”

The Old Blind Man nodded, then shook his head, leaving Mrs. Lu anxious and panicked, bombarding him with a flurry of incoherent questions.

“There is fate without destiny; if they stay together, in the end, they will…”

After leaving the Old Blind Man’s house, Mrs. Lu felt dazed, with the Old Blind Man’s words echoing in her mind.

The ultimate result of being together could very well be like what Susu dreamed of.

Thankfully, heaven was kind, allowing Susu to have a premonition of the unfortunate event, grateful that her daughter had not yet fallen too deep.

Mrs. Lu made up her mind; she had to discuss the gravity of the situation with her daughter and separate her from that person at all costs.

Without even going back to check on her husband, Mrs. Lu rushed to catch the bus back to Provincial City, her heart having already flown back home.

Perhaps it was because she had a lot on her mind, lost in her thoughts the entire trip, the bus seemed to reach Provincial City in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of her daughter at home, Mrs. Lu hurried back.

“Where’s Xiaomei?”

“I’m back.”

Susu, who was holding the child and strolling in the yard, turned around with her daughter when they heard the voice.

“Mom, Xiaomei had classes at school this afternoon and went back for them.”

Seeing the worried look on her mother-in-law’s face, Susu roughly guessed that the Old Blind Man might have predicted something.

That Old Blind Man really had some skills.

“Sister-in-law, why do you look so upset? It couldn’t be…”

Mrs. Lu sighed and recounted her conversation with the Old Blind Man to them in detail.

After listening, Lu Xiaogu became anxious as well, “What should we do now? Should we go find Xiaomei?”

At a moment when both aunt and sister-in-law felt helpless, Lu Xiaoting arrived with Xiao Yu.

Father and son, as usual, washed their hands before they went to see the triplets that had just fallen asleep.

“Second son, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Seeing his mother’s serious face, Lu Xiaoting was a bit stunned, then stood up and asked.

“What is it, Mother?”

“I went back to see the Old Blind Man to have our horoscopes read, and what he said wasn’t much different from Susu’s dream. I’m worried that if we wait too long, Xiaomei will get in too deep.”

Mrs. Lu took a breath, “I’m thinking of having you go to the college and bring Xiaomei back home. We need to deal with this as soon as possible.”

“Alright, I’ll go right now.”

Without further ado, Lu Xiaoting rode his bike out, his mind preoccupied with thoughts, pedaling furiously along the way.

Passing by the bus stop, onlookers saw a blur as a bicycle sped past, each of them craning their necks curiously.

“Goodness, that bike is going so fast; it’s almost as if it’s catching up to a car.”

“My word, what was that thing that just whizzed by?”

“Seemed like a bicycle?!”

“A bicycle? Can it go that fast?”

…

Lu Xiaoting arrived at the Provincial Finance College in record time.

While riding the bike, he didn’t feel it, but once he stopped, his whole body was bursting with heat, sweat beads streaming down from under his wide-brimmed hat.

Many students, seeing this scene, thought someone must have committed a crime and scattered away from Lu Xiaoting in his police uniform.

Breathing heavily, Lu Xiaoting propped his bicycle against the wall and rushed into the first floor, making it to the dorm supervisor’s window in just a few strides.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The dorm supervisor, who was picking up stitches on a sweater, yelled impatiently, “Who is it?”

As she looked up, she saw a wide-brimmed hat startling her into shivers down her legs, and she stammered out a question.

“Officer, I, I didn’t do anything, okay?”

Lu Xiaoting frowned and spoke steadily, “Comrade, could you please help me find a student from the accounting class of the Finance and Economics department, Lu Yuewan? I’m her older brother; there’s a family emergency.”

“Ah, wait a moment, officer, just a moment.”

Hearing it was about his sister and not their business, the dormitory auntie quickly flipped through her notebook searching for someone as she patted her chest.

Worried that the officer would grow impatient, the usually hands-off dormitory auntie didn’t ask anyone else to call out, but went upstairs herself to summon.

“Lu Yuewan, your older brother is looking for you downstairs. He says it’s urgent.”

“Ah? Oh.”

Lu Xiaomei came to her senses and hurried downstairs with the dormitory auntie.

The other people in the dormitory were all astounded.

“My goodness, is the dormitory auntie actually running up here to fetch someone?”

“Is the sun rising from the west?”

“What’s going on? It’s lucky enough when the dormitory auntie doesn’t scold someone, but now she’s coming up personally to call for someone?”

Qiao Nian shrugged her shoulders helplessly, “Wanwan’s older brother is with the public security.”

“No wonder.”

“That explains it.”

Seeing the dormitory auntie’s pleasant demeanor, Lu Xiaomei felt all her hairs stand on end.

“Little Lu, I have to go. You chat with your brother.”

“Thank you, auntie.”

Lu Xiaomei trotted to the door, “Brother, what happened? What’s the matter at home?”

“Mom’s back, asked me to call for you. Go pack up, we’ll head back soon.”

Lu Xiaomei had a bad feeling in her heart but obediently followed her older brother home.

For this kind of matter, Lu Xiaoting, a grown man, found it difficult to speak, so he simply took Xiao Yu into the main room to cook.

In the inner room

Mrs. Lu relayed the Old Blind Man’s words, which his daughter-in-law had painstakingly analyzed and broken down for her daughter, afraid that she wouldn’t listen.

Even if her flesh and blood might resent her, as a mother, she absolutely couldn’t stand by and watch her daughter leap into a pit of fire.

Lu Xiaogu joined her sister-in-law in persuading, too, as both her brother and sister-in-law were so good to her, with only this one niece to care for.

Lu Xiaomei fought back the sour sting at the tip of her nose, knowing her mother and Little Aunt only wanted the best for her, and didn’t say anything, though her expression was somewhat listless.

“Mom, Little Aunt, I know, you’re both doing this for my own good. Don’t worry, I’m not so foolish to jump into a pit of fire willingly.”

Lu Xiaomei’s single sentence caught Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu off guard, both who had prepared a bellyful of drafts. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

“Mom, Little Aunt, I just said what Little Sister needed to hear. Now you don’t have to worry anymore, right?!”

Seeing the young lady’s spirits were low and fearing that their mother and Little Aunt might’ve said too much, Susu quickly took her outside to catch a breath of fresh air.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu peered worriedly out of the windows.

In the courtyard

Susu wrapped her arm around the silently crying girl, silently comforting her until Lu Xiaomei’s emotions had been relieved before speaking.

“Don’t be sad now. In a life of several decades, who doesn’t encounter a few unsuitable men?

When one leaves, there will be better, more suitable ones waiting for us.”

Lu Xiaomei let out a burst of laughter, sniffled heavily with a nasal voice, and hoarsely said, “Sister-in-law, you actually make a lot of sense.”

“Of course,” Susu said haughtily, raising her chin.

Lu Xiaomei looped her arm through her sister-in-law’s, leaning on her slender yet firm shoulder, coquettishly asking,

“Sister-in-law, can I sleep with you tonight, please?”
