Chapter 20 Should I be alright?

Li Shujuan carefully exited Lin Qingshu's room, and when she was about to walk back to her own room, she turned her head and almost suffered a heart attack.

Instinctively, I wanted to scream, but when I thought about the disgraceful thing I had just done, I was afraid that others would see it, so I held it back.

He just covered his heart and hid his other hand behind his back. He looked at Lu Tang in front of him and said with a smile, "Why is Mr. Lu up so late at night? He didn't even make a sound when he walked. It scared me to death."

Lu Tang lowered his voice, "Come out for a moment, Mrs. Lin, what are you doing?"

He pointed at Lin Qingshu's room behind him, as if he was about to expose her in the next second.

Li Shujuan hurriedly explained: "I just saw clearly that this child has been under a lot of pressure from studying recently, and I was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well at night, so I came here to take a look."

In Lu Tang's perception, Li Shujuan was not such an 'understanding' stepmother.

"Mrs. Lin is really a good stepmother." Lu Tang smiled sadly, glancing at the hand behind her back through the dim light, "But in the middle of the night, what can you hold in this hand?"

Li Shujuan didn't expect that this little guy Lu Tang had sharp eyes, so he could see this.

"Don't think nonsense. I didn't take it out of her room. I just went out to relieve myself and brought some paper. Why do you, a grown man, ask for such details?"

Li Shujuan thought that saying this would stop him from doubting her, but she didn't know that Lu Tang had already discovered what she was holding.

"Mrs. Lin, you'd better rest early, it's getting late." Lu Tang said like a smiling tiger.

Hearing this, Li Shujuan retreated.

Lu Tang looked at a thumbtack that Li Shujuan had dropped on the ground in her panic, and his eyes instantly turned sinister.

He didn't expect that the mother and daughter would now start to bully Lin Qingshu head-on!

But as long as he is here, they will never let their evil plot succeed!

Lin Qingshu was sleeping soundly. Because she exercised too much during the day, she would not wake up at night.

So at this time, Lu Tang sneaked into her room without even knowing it.

Although Lu Tang felt presumptuous, he just wanted to see what kind of monster Li Shujuan was.

After walking a few steps, he saw something shiny on the ground under the moonlight outside, which was the thumbtack he had just found outside, but there was a handful here, scattered on the ground.

Lu Tang knelt down and carefully put away all the thumbtacks that pointed upward, and finally found a lot of them in Lin Qingshu's shoes.

It seems that the mother and daughter have already made plans. They just wait until Lin Qingshu gets out of bed early tomorrow morning. By then, she will definitely be unable to go to school for a while because of her foot injury.

How vicious!

Lu Tang put away the thumbtacks, stood up, glanced at the sleeping Lin Qingshu, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly backed out.

Early the next morning, Lin Qingshu ran back and happened to bump into Li Shujuan at the door.

Li Shujuan was surprised when she saw her jumping around: "Why are you okay?"

Lin Qingshu didn't know what she was planning behind her back. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

This question made Li Shujuan speechless. She shouldn't have put those thumbtacks in her shoes last night. She shouldn't have been lying on the bed at this time, so why was she still walking around!

"I just saw that you have eaten so little in the past two days, and I was afraid that something would happen to you."

Listening to her "concerned" words, Lin Qingshu just thought it was funny: "Are you afraid that something will happen to me? I think you are afraid that nothing will happen to me, right?"

"Why are you talking like this kid? After all, I am also your mother and your elder. How can you be so rude and uncultured talking to your elders like this! I care about you because I have a conscience, unlike you, who can't raise you well.

The white-eyed wolf.”

This morning, he heard crows cawing here. Lin Qingshu felt that his ears were about to get calluses. Listening to her words would shorten his life by twenty years.

"My mother has died a long time ago, who do you think you are?" Lin Qingshu looked at her with contempt, with a sense of oppression in his eyes.

Li Shujuan subconsciously stumbled over her words, "You, how do you speak! You are really a village girl. Even if you go to school, you are still rude!"

She pinched herself secretly, why was she so frightened by a little brat!

I don’t know what happened to Lin Qingshu recently. I don’t know who she learned to be like this. She didn’t dare to contradict her before! It seems that she really hit something!

Li Shujuan couldn't talk to her, so she didn't want to offend her so much that she just went into the house.

After a while, Lu Tang came out and threw a bag to her.

Lin Qingshu took it, opened it and asked, "What is this? A lock?"

"Well, you really have no sense of safety at all. You lock the door when you go to bed at night to prevent others from entering."

Lin Qingshu didn't know why. Thinking of Li Shujuan's attitude just now, he wondered if Lu Tang knew something. Otherwise, why would he send the lock so easily?

Lin Qingshu walked inside, and Lu Tang followed, until he reached the door of her room.

"You want to come in?" Lin Qingshu walked to the door of the room and stood still. Seeing that Lu Tang was still following him, he left the door half open.

Unexpectedly, Lu Tang shook his head and said, "I want you to secure the door lock before leaving."

Although she doesn't have a good relationship with the Lin family, she still doesn't have to be locked up like this.

But now Lin Qingshu couldn't refuse, because Lu Tang was looking at her with a very serious expression, as if she wouldn't even think about going out if she couldn't lock it up today.

It's just that Lin Qingshu's ability to explore cultural relics is good, but he has no ability at all to secure locks.

I think her big villa uses smart locks. Where else can I see such a big iron lock with a key?

The result was that she couldn't put it in place after prodding for a long time. In the end, Lu Tang couldn't stand it anymore and took the lock from her hand, "I'll do it."

It didn't take long for Lu Tang to put the lock in place and put the key in Lin Qingshu's hand.

"I didn't expect that the dignified young master Lu could do this kind of work."

"I learned this when I was studying abroad. If you don't know anyone there, you have to rely on yourself for everything from living to studying."

Judging from the look on his face when he spoke, Lin Qingshu somehow seemed to read a bit of loneliness on his face. His life abroad had not always been good for several years.

Everyone thought he was glamorous, but he was abandoned by his family and plotted against by his stepmother. After finally returning home, he was robbed at the dock.

Lin Qingshu sighed and put the key away.

She still has thoughts and cares for others. She was even worse than Lu Tang in the past.

The original owner had already died in that cold river. If her soul hadn't passed through, I'm afraid Lin Qingshu would have been a corpse now.
