Upon hearing Lu Qinian's words, Li Rongrong panicked and grabbed his sleeve. "I'm being foolish, Uncle Lu. I didn't mean it that way..." She did have a conscience. She had suffered severe abuse in the Li family. When she met Lu Qinian, she didn't resemble a fifteen-year-old child. She was afraid to face people, suffered from depression, and it was only after Lu Qinian patiently cared for her for two years that she started to resemble a normal child. She dared to go out, did not fall sick, and even attend school...
Lu Qinian pushed her hand away. "Do you think I'm being too strict with you, making it hard for you to breathe? Every chance you get, you think of defying me and leaving this home."
"No, it's not like that... I don't want to leave," Li Rongrong desperately shook her head.
Lu Qinian glanced at her indifferently and said nothing. He stood up and walked out of the room.
After a while, Mary entered with a few servants and began packing. "Miss, Young Master said that if you're tired of staying at home, you should go live at school."
Li Rongrong was completely stunned! Was Lu Qinian truly disappointed with her this time?
Seeing her crestfallen expression, Mary couldn't help but sigh. "Miss, Young Master has been calling you many times, but couldn't reach you. He was extremely worried, thinking that something had happened to you..."
Li Rongrong was momentarily dumbfounded. She took out her phone from her bag and realized that her phone had run out of battery.
"Young Master is also furious. I believe that in a few days, he'll bring you back. You know, Young Master can't bear to see you suffer," Mary consoled her.
Li Rongrong lowered her head, thinking that Lu Qinian was genuinely angry this time. He didn't even wait for her to explain any longer, directly instructing someone to take her luggage and put it in the car.
Butler Bai had already informed the school leader, and Li Rongrong was assigned to a single dormitory. Although this was what she had always wanted, she felt strangely unsettled when it happened. Looking at the empty dormitory, Li Rongrong's nose inexplicably felt sour.
She suddenly laughed. She realized that she had been spoiled by Lu Qinian. She had only moved to the dormitory, so what grievance was that? Compared to the Li family, this was heaven.
Feeling a bit lightheaded, Li Rongrong fell asleep directly on the bed that Mary had tidied up. In her half-asleep state, she seemed to sense herself being pulled into an embrace, a familiar embrace.
Li Rongrong slept in the dormitory for two consecutive days. During mealtimes, Mary would secretly bring her food. "Miss, why don't you go back and apologize to Young Master?"
"How's Uncle Lu doing these days?" Li Rongrong asked as she nibbled on her bread.
"Young Master never shows his emotions on his face. I think he regrets it too, but he can't bring himself to apologize."
Li Rongrong fell silent for a long time. "You don't need to come anymore... I'm feeling much better now, I can cook for myself, and if necessary, the school has a cafeteria."
Mary suddenly looked up. "Miss, this..."
Li Rongrong's tone was firm. "I've grown up a long time ago. I can't rely on all of you for everything. Sooner or later, I have to get used to living on my own. You should go back and take care of Uncle Lu." Before meeting Lu Qinian, her life had been tumultuous. Now that she had rested for two days, her mind was clear. Lu Qinian didn't owe her anything, and as for her mother's debts, Lu Qinian's care over the years had already repaid them.
Mary didn't insist any further upon Li Rongrong's insistence. She could see that the two of them were at odds, and as a servant, she couldn't say anything more.
Upon learning that Li Rongrong would be living at the school, Yu Xiaoyi was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth. "Is your uncle willing to do this?"
Li Rongrong didn't want to continue this topic, so she picked up her school bag and started walking out.
Yu Xiaoyi followed closely behind. "You've always lived at home. How could you possibly adjust to living in the dormitory? Come to my house, after all, it's my fault that you're in this situation..."
"No need." Li Rongrong sighed as she looked at Yu Xiaoyi's reddened eyes. "This has nothing to do with you."
Yu Xiaoyi wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry..."
Li Rongrong patted her. "It was my carelessness. It's all in the past. Let's not mention it again. By the way, did you see the person who saved me last time?"
Yu Xiaoyi thought of the person from last time and replied, "He left when he saw that you were fine. At that time, I was worried about you and didn't pay attention to him..."
Li Rongrong had wanted to express her gratitude, but now she could only let it go.
