Chapter 197: You’re Too Kind

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the First Hospital.

Lu Rongrong lay on the hospital bed with a cast on her left leg. Her pale face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were red.

Her mother, Mrs. Lu, was talking to her, but she wasn’t really listening.

All she knew was that her life was over.

She had started learning dance at the age of three, won the city’s children’s dance competition at seven, earned third place in the national youth dance competition at ten, and won first place in the national youth dance competition at twelve.

Despite her mediocre academic performance, her talent in the arts had secured her a spot in the prestigious Beijing University’s Art Department.

Now, her leg was broken. How could she dance again?

“Rongrong, don’t scare Mom. Mom will find the best orthopedic doctor to treat you. Once you’re better, you can return to the stage. You’re still young; everything will be alright!” Mrs. Lu, usually assertive and somewhat fierce, genuinely loved her daughter and was heartbroken to see her in this condition.

“Mom, I want some time alone,” Lu Rongrong said through clenched teeth, her voice choked with tears.

“Alright, Mom won’t disturb you.”

Mrs. Lu fell silent and sat by her daughter’s bedside, her face filled with concern.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

“It’s probably your father. I told you, he cares about you the most,” Mrs. Lu said, hurrying to open the door.

However, when she opened the door, she didn’t find just one person but a group of people, with Nan Yan standing prominently in the center.

“Why are you here?” Mrs. Lu’s expression darkened.

She gripped the door frame tightly, almost pointing at Nan Yan and telling her to leave. She must be here to revel in her daughter’s misfortune, having bullied her before. Now that Rongrong was injured, Mrs. Lu assumed Nan Yan had come to enjoy the spectacle.

“Auntie, how is Rongrong doing?”

“We were worried about her, so we came to check on her. If she’s okay, we won’t disturb you,” both Lu Rongrong’s deskmate and class monitor, Gu Yuhao, asked simultaneously.

While Mrs. Lu was about to ask them to leave, Lu Rongrong’s voice came from inside the room.

“Mom, are these my classmates? Let them in!”

“Alright,” Mrs. Lu reluctantly moved aside to let them in.

“But you should stay out. Don’t upset my daughter. She won’t want to see you.” Mrs. Lu blocked Nan Yan as she tried to enter.

Her classmates quickly intervened. “Auntie, Rongrong and Nan Yan have a good relationship now. She definitely wants to see Nan Yan!”

“That’s right, Auntie!”

Nan Yan raised her hand to stop her classmates and said calmly, “You guys go see her. I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave now.”

Inside the room, Lu Rongrong heard Nan Yan’s words and anxiously shouted,

“Nan Yan, I know you’re here. Please don’t leave. I have something to tell you!” “Mom, help me keep her here. I really need to talk to her!”

Mrs. Lu felt awkward but ultimately suppressed her displeasure and said, “Since Rongrong wants to see you, go inside.”

Nan Yan stood still for a moment, then went in.

Though Mrs. Lu was unhappy, she didn’t want to show it.

“Mom, could you buy me some food? I’m hungry,” Lu Rongrong found an excuse to send her mother away.

Mrs. Lu left, making the atmosphere in the room a bit more relaxed.

Lu Rongrong’s deskmate looked at the girl in the hospital bed and asked softly,

“Rongrong, how are you feeling?”

Tears welled up in Lu Rongrong’s eyes, but she tried to hold back her sobs and wiped away her tears with her hand.

“I’m fine. It’s just a broken leg. I might need a long break, though.”

“Fortunately, you have a direct admission to the Beijing University’s Art Department. Taking a few months to recover won’t be a problem. The most important thing now is to heal your body,” her deskmate comforted her.

Lu Rongrong felt even worse after hearing her words.

She gritted her teeth, nodded reluctantly, and then looked at Nan Yan.

“Nan Yan, these days, you should avoid going to school. Jiang Wenqian won’t let it go. She’ll come after you! Last time, she held a grudge against you, and if you hadn’t been absent these past few days, she would have already retaliated against you. Please be careful!”

Lu Rongrong didn’t want Nan Yan to get caught up in her troubles. However, based on her own experience, she knew that Jiang Wenqian was a madwoman who didn’t care about school rules. She had even harmed Lu Rongrong herself. If she was willing to do that, she wouldn’t hesitate to target Nan Yan, especially since Nan Yan was not valued by her family.

“Rongrong, was it really Jiang Wenqian who pushed you down the stairs?”

“But Jiang Wenqian told the school that you accidentally fell down the stairs on your own!”

Lu Rongrong forced a bitter smile. “The Jiang family has power and influence. I can only say it was my fault. I can’t bring trouble to the Lu family… I don’t care about myself. She pushed me, and now, Nan Yan, you have to be careful!”

Lu Rongrong didn’t want Nan Yan to suffer because of her.

“But that Jiang Wenqian is truly despicable!”

“But there’s nothing we can do about it. The Jiang family is not something ordinary people can afford to offend…”

“Boss, please be careful!”

Reality was cruel.

Nan Yan wasn’t interested in their concern and worry, but if the Jiang family were foolish enough to come after her, she wouldn’t mind helping Lu Rongrong seek justice.

For now, she had no intention of getting involved.

The conflict between the Lu family and the Jiang family had nothing to do with her.

“All right, I got it. You take care of yourself and get well soon.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

After leaving the hospital, Nan Yan sent a message to Tao Qingming. Since this was the First Hospital and Director Tao was here, he could help change Lu Rongrong’s prescription, ensuring that her leg would heal completely without any complications.

Lu Rongrong should consider herself lucky.

Nan Yan had been genuinely moved by her earlier. That’s why she sent this message, hoping that Lu Rongrong’s leg would heal properly, without any lingering issues.

[Little friend, why don’t you go in person? The Lu family could pay you extra consultation fees.]

Now, Director Tao was familiar with Nan Yan and knew she needed money.

Seeing Director Tao’s message, Nan Yan replied, [No need. She’s my classmate. Consider it her reward for feeding me during this period of time.]

Director Tao sighed, [You’re too kind.]

Nan Yan:

She could feel the goosebumps rise on her skin.

She didn’t consider herself kind at all.

She was simply the type of person who reciprocated kindness. If someone treated her well, she would treat them well in return.

So, even though the students from Class 4 had bullied the original owner in the past, they had turned over a new leaf, treated her well, and sincerely apologized.

She had reluctantly accepted these somewhat immature teenagers into her circle.

[Little one, what are you up to?]

[Sis, school’s over, right? Third brother is coming to pick you up!]
