Chapter 46: There’s Improvement

Lu Dong’s car was parked outside the school gate. After he got in the car, he began to cough non-stop.

“Young Lord, didn’t you say that you’re getting much better? Why are you coughing so badly that your face is pale?”

“Have you not taken your medicine today?”

The cough stopped for a moment. Lu Qi waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that I’ve just been too tired these two days.”

Although the Lu family was now the largest family, their position had always been coveted by others. Many people, both in the open and in the dark, were using tricks to try to bring the Lu family down.

In the past few days, some military products that had been shipped overseas had been hijacked again. And both the police and the triads were attacking at the same time, Lu Qi had indeed been very busy recently.

Lu Xiu had been with Lu Qi for so many years. Although he could help Lu Qi a lot, as the real person in charge, Lu Qi could not stop for even a moment.

Lu Xiu had even mocked Lu Qi, saying that he would probably die from being too busy before he died from the poison.

“Young Lord, are we going to meet Young Master Lu now? He has just called to say that they have already arrived at the restaurant. We’ll drive there now. If we drive faster, we can reach there in about an hour and a half.”

Lu Qi had an appointment with the leader of the current largest gang tonight. Lu Xiu had already arrived ahead of schedule.

“Yes, let’s go. Drive faster.”

After saying that, he turned on his laptop and continued to work.

The cold white light on the computer screen shone on Lu Qi’s face, making him look even more pale and weak.

Lu Dong looked at him in the mirror a few times and wanted to open his mouth to remind him. In the end, he did not say anything.

Lu Qi’s car was quiet, while Old Master Ding’s car was noisy.

“Grandpa, why are you protecting her?!”

Ding Yu sat in the passenger seat and looked back at the two people sitting side by side in the backseat.

To outsiders, Ding Shun might be a strict person. But Ding Yu knew that his old man of his family was actually a reserved person. Thus he was not afraid of him at all.

“So what if I’m protecting her? Cheng Ling is so smart, are you smart?!”

As Old Master Ding spoke, the beard on his chin moved along with his mouth.

“How do you know she’s smart? She got the second place from the bottom, the second place from the bottom, Grandpa!”

Ding Shun heard this and laughed instead of getting angry.

“She got the first place from the bottom before, but now she’s at the second from the bottom! She’s improving! She has to eat more tonight as she must have spent a lot of brain power to be at the second place from the bottom.”

Ding Yu’s small head was now filled with a lot of questions.

“Grandpa Ding, you don’t have to spend much brain power if you’re ranked the second from the bottom. You just need an even dumber person to be the first from the bottom.”

Ding Yu: “…”

He was going to be stabbed in the spine.

Sure enough, Ding Shun followed Cheng Ling’s words and continued to ask.

“Oh, then who’s ranked the last this time? So dumb.”

Ding Yu leaned against the passenger seat and didn’t dare to turn his head or move.

Cheng Ling didn’t say anything. She just stretched out her index finger and quietly pointed at Ding Yu.

Ding Yu thought he had escaped a disaster when he didn’t hear his name. In the next second, Old Master Ding’s big palm hit him on the head.

“You b*stard, you dare to be the last?”

Although Old Master Ding was already 70 or 80 years old, his strength was not weak. He never held back his strength when hitting people.

Ding Yu felt that his head was buzzing when he slapped him.

“Grandpa, I’m your grandson!” Ding Yu turned around and complained pitifully.

“What grandson? Even if you’re my father, you have brought much shame to the Ding family! Don’t say that you’re my grandson!”

“I heard that you’re sitting at the same desk as Cheng Ling now. When you have time, you can ask her for advice. It’s not bad if you can improve by one place!”

?

Number one from the bottom to seek advice from number two from the bottom?

Was this so-called one dared to teach and the other dared to learn?

Seeing that Ding Yu was defeated, Cheng Ling nodded happily.

Ding Shun liked peace and quiet, so the Ding residence was also located at a place close to the mountains and rivers. The air was very fresh.

As soon as Ding Yu reached home, he rushed into his room.

He said that he would study hard and strive to be the second from the bottom in the next exam.

With no one else around, Old Master Ding resumed the way he used to get along with Cheng Ling.

He pulled Cheng Ling to sit down on the sofa.

“I saw that you didn’t send me a WeChat message after class, and also never replied when I sent you a message. Immediately I knew something must have happened as you’re not such a disorganized person. But I didn’t expect it to be caused by my grandson.”

Cheng Ling pursed her lips into a smile.

“Grandpa Ding, you don’t blame me for bullying your favorite grandson, do you?”

“What are you talking about? This kid is used to being out of control and needs to be taught a lesson. His mother died young. Sigh, no one took care of him. His character is very strange now.”

Ding Shun was merciless when he complained about his own grandson. He told the embarrassing stories of Ding Yu to Cheng Ling, not caring about Ding Yu’s feeling at all.

Cheng Ling laughed out loud when she heard these stories. Now that she had something on Ding Yu, she could bully him in the future.
