Chapter 302 - Ning Zhi was just now noticing that the little boy had a slight limp (2)
Ning Zhi was blushing. She recalled how he had washed her hands in the past. Worried that he would lower his head and kissed the tips of her fingers in front of the others, Ning Zhi quickly took her hands back when he was done with the wiping.
“Thank you.”
Lu Jue pinched his lips shut and was a little disappointed. He then used the same wet towel to wipe his own hands. It did not bother him that they had been used on Ning Zhi.
Sitting across from them, Fang Yuzhou had a look of envy. She nudged Wei Xing with her elbow and said, “You should learn a thing or two from him. Looking at Lu Jue taking care of his girlfriend.”
Wei Xing, too, had a look of surprise on him.
He had been Lu Jue’s assistant in the past but Lu Jue had stopped going into the laboratory after the kidnapping.
When he became Lu Jue’s assistant once again, he noticed that, compared to how he was in the past , Lu Jue had been much more open and no longer just stayed in his own world. He had made marked improvement.
Lu Jue, receiving the compliment, reflexively looked over at Ning Zhi, his eyes lit with a longing look.
He looked like a puppy who was dying for comfort and a hug from its owner.
Ning Zhi couldn't help but smiled. She reached out and stroke him over his head. Smoothing the strand of hair that was sticking out in front of him, she said you him, “You are so sweet.”
Lu Jue was very easy to woo. All he needed was those few words.
During dinner, Lu Jue also learned to serve Ning Zhi. He ever poured some juices for her. He was stiff and clumsy but every time he tried to do something, it would melt Ning Zhi’s heart.
Truth was, she asked nothing of him.
Right then, through the glass next to them, Ning Zhi saw a middle-aged man walked passed holding the hand of a little boy. The little boy’s head was lowered and ran straight into a woman in high heels that was walking toward them.
The woman had her head lowered, looking at her cellphone, and didn’t swerve at all. Caught off guard by the collision, she fell onto the ground as did her cellphone.
After the woman in heels had gotten back up, she pointed at the middle-aged man angrily and shouted at him.
The woman looked angry and Ning Zhi could tell her angry even through the glass.
The man had a look of contempt on him but, after the woman picked her phone back up and showed it to him, he immediately looked displeased.
Ning Zhi saw the man raised his hand and smacked the little boy next to him.
Outside, the woman, her phone in her hand, had not yet given up. The screen to her phone was cracked and she wanted the man to pay for her loss.
“Don’t think I will drop it just because you pretended that you’ve smacked your son that one time. This is a brand new phone and I have barely had it for a week. Now that you have broken it, you need to compensate me for that.” The woman had a long face. “You can either pay me in cash or get me a new phone. Your choice.”
The man did not look happy. He said angrily, “You were the one who didn’t watch where you were going. Besides, he’s just a child. Why are you so petty with him?”
The woman in heels patted the non-existing dust off her clothes and pushed her lips out some. “Don’t try to use the child as in excuse. He bummed into me and broke my phone. You are his parents and you are responsible for him. If you don’t pay up, I am going to call the cops.”
The middle-aged man was frantic. He smacked the boy on his head violently. “Must you walk with your head lowered all the time?”
He smacked the boy hard again and said, “What is the point of me raising you, huh? All you do is get into trouble and drag me into it with you.”
The woman in hells looked impatient. “Hurry and pay up. Don’t be putting on the show.”
The middle-aged man wasn’t going to pay her. He grabbed on to the child and continued to hit him. “All these years that I have raised you. You are good for nothing other than wasting food.
“Pay up, pay up, pay up. I should just give you away as a payment.
“All you do is bring trouble. You won’t even cry when I hit you. I am telling you to cry now.
“I say to cry. And apologize to her……”
The middle-aged man smacked the little boy repeatedly over is head and back and drew a lot of attention from the passersby.
