103 Causing Trouble

Everyone was laughing.

After the cakes had cooled down, Lu Ning packed everyone’s cakes into boxes as they were to be brought back.

Lu Ning had already prepared the shop’s specialty for everyone: yule log cake and strawberry soda.

Everyone went to the shop outside and sat on the chairs. They cuddled the cats and dug into the desserts.

!!

The cafe’s decoration was cream-colored, and the owner had a whole freezer full of chilled flowers. The whole room was warm and lovely.

There were many different breeds of cats shuttling back and forth, rubbing against everyone’s legs.

Guo Miao was also attracted by these cats. She reached out and picked up a ragdoll cat. The kitten looked very well-behaved and wasn’t afraid of people as it obediently lay in Guo Miao’s arms.

“This cat loves Mystical Miao too much. It must be a top student!” Zhong Nian said.

Guo Miao reached out and touched its head, and it made a purring sound, looking very comfortable.

Just like that, everyone played with the cute cats for the entire afternoon and had a great time.

In the evening, everyone bade each other farewell and went home for dinner.

Since Xuxu was busy at Guo Fu’s shop, Guo Fu asked her to settle her own dinner, hence she decided to eat with Lu Ning.

Lu Ning’s hands were very dexterous. She whipped up a few Western dishes in the restaurant, and the two of them immediately started eating.

“How has Uncle’s condition been recently?” Guo Miao asked.

“I think he’s almost recovered. He just had a kidney transplant. He still has some rejection reactions recently, but he’s basically fine. He can probably be discharged in a month.”

“What did he work as previously?” Guo Miao asked.

After performing such a major surgery, if his previous work was more physically laborious, he would definitely not be able to do it in the future.

Guo Miao wanted to help Lu Ning.

“My father used to work at a construction site. He resigned to treat his illness, but I don’t think he’ll be doing this kind of work in the future.”

Guo Miao pondered for a moment before slowly opening her mouth. “My dad and another uncle are running an F&B organization that specializes in cooking for primary and secondary school students. If your cooking skills are good, you can give it a try.”

“Alright,” she said. Lu Ning nodded her head, but the expression on her face seemed a little gloomy.

“What’s wrong?” Guo Miao asked.

“I actually want to drop out of school and leave this place with my father. Although my stepmother and brother are hiding from debt collectors, I don’t know when they’ll come back. Someone like my stepmother will definitely not let us off.”

Lu Ning rolled up her sleeves. The old and new scars were puckered together, creating a ghastly sight. It was all the work of her stepmother.

Although stepdaughters and stepmothers found it hard to become close, no one would abuse their stepdaughters like this.

“I don’t want to live anymore, but my father is soft-hearted and I’m afraid that he will remarry my stepmother, or that my stepmother will try to take money from us. So, I was thinking, why don’t we quit school and leave this place so that they won’t be able to find us again?”

Guo Miao shook her head. “You’re in your third year of high school now. It’s the most important time for you. If you don’t focus on your exams, your father will be worried. Won’t your years of hard work be in vain?”

Thinking of the girl in her previous life who would unconsciously tear up at the mention of university, Guo Miao didn’t want her to have any regrets in her life.

“You can apply for some company scholarships. That way, you can solve your money problem for the time being. If your stepmother comes looking for you again, give me a call. Do you understand? Don’t bear the burden by yourself.”

Lu Ning looked at Guo Miao and nodded. “You’re the best, Miaomiao. I’ll definitely pay you back when I graduate.”

“No need.” Guo Miao didn’t finish her sentence. She wanted to say that she owed Lu Ning this and that she had already paid it back.

The two of them were eating when they suddenly heard a noise outside.

“Lu Ning, get the hell out here. You’re working in such a good place, and you don’t even care about your mother?”

The moment Lu Ning heard the voice, she began to tremble uncontrollably. The voice was like a death talisman that had accompanied her throughout her youth.

The wounds on her body throbbed, and she kept trembling with her eyes fixed on the door.

Sensing Lu Ning’s strange behavior, Guo Miao stood up and looked at the woman outside.
