Chapter 152 – Lu Ting’s desire to survive (2)
Old Man Lu was very fond of Li Murou since he favored the head chef very much. During the New Year’s holidays, when he would buy stationery and bags for Lu Ting, the old man would also ask people to buy some for the girl.
Li Murou studied in kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high. Thanks to Old Man Lu’s arrangements, all the schools she went to were noble schools.
When she was in her second year of middle school, Lu Ting was in his third year of high school.
During that time, the outside world did not know that Lu Ting was the heir of the Lu family, and since she often mentioned the Lu family in front of her classmates, others often mistake her for the Lu family’s young mistress.
Once, when Li Murou got into a fight at school, the principal contacted Old Man Lu directly. And it was also then that Li Murou’s impersonation of the Lu family’s young mistress was exposed to Old Man Lu.
When Old Man Lu arrived at the school, he did not reveal her identity and was serious as always, saying to the principal in a stern tone, “My granddaughter is very naughty, please discipline her properly in the future. Don’t give her a pass because of me.”
After that, the students and the teachers became even more certain that Li Murou was the Lu family’s heiress.
For a while, Li Murou thought that the old man favored her and took her as his own granddaughter. It wasn’t until she was kidnapped in high school did she finally wake up to the truth.
The kidnappers demanded 1.5 billion from the Lu family.
Lu Murou thought that with the old man’s preference for her, he would definitely send over the ransom money. However, the old man did no such thing and reported the matter to the police while declaring to the public: Li Murou is the daughter of his chef, not a Lu family member.
That time, even though Li Murou was rescued, she was also finally clear about one thing—
Old Man Lu’s “favor” for her was never really that. This old box had been using her from start to end. To this rich man, she was just a shield for his grandson.
After Li Murou’s identity was exposed, her classmates scorned her, the teachers scorned her. Due to her poor performance, she was persuaded to drop out by the school. After dropping out, she learned to cook from her father. Hiding the hatred she had for the old man, she stayed in the Lu family to become a chef.
Her skills were good. Both Old Man Lu and Lu Ting were fond of it. When Lu Ting went to university, she was worried that he would not be used to eating the school meals, so she went over to send him food a few times, and was even treated as Lu Ting’s girlfriend.
After keeping up with that for a year, she found that Lu Ting had never actually eaten a single bite of the food she brought over. He gave it all to his roommates at the dorm.
But she never gave up on bringing him food.
On that day, she waited a long time under Lu Ting’s dorm building, but Lu Ting never returned to the dorm. During that time, Lu Ting had always been staying at the dorm. He did not have a girlfriend, but he did not return to the dorm. So where did he go?
So, Li Murou asked a friend from the Public Security Bureau to find out where Lu Ting was. In the end, her friend found out that Lu Ting was at the hotel with a girl called Lin Yueqi.
Li Murou was heartbroken.
In order to break up Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi, she would deliberately talk about it in front of the gossipy maids that served Old Man Lu. The gossipy lady had quite a high position in the Lu family and served the old man for a long time. Lu Ting also respected her very much.
Then, the lady would go around Old Man Lu and mention it in a roundabout way. Due to that, Lu Ting was sent overseas to study, and he had been staying in the company overseas branch to train after graduating as well.
