Tang Cheng paused for two seconds, as if seriously recalling, and then honestly replied, "...I think I told her everything, right? I answered whatever she asked... She asked quite detailed questions, like when Nana came back, where she lives now, and what she's doing... I figured it wasn't really a secret..."

idiot!

Xu Na was furious and immediately pressed the hang-up button.

"beep--"

The call abruptly ended.

"Ugh! This idiot! So stupid!" Xu Na's chest heaved with anger. She finally understood how she had messed up in her previous life.

She always thought that Lu Jingxiu had revealed her background, which couldn't withstand scrutiny, which made Li Qingqing notice her origins and allow her to press her step by step.

She even blamed Lu Jingxiu in her heart for a long time because of this.

Unexpectedly, the real loophole was in Tang Cheng, that brainless guy!

Lu Jingxiu turned his head and looked at Xu Na with some surprise.

Was her reaction a bit too much?

"It's alright, she's already told you," he said, looking away and comforting her. "What can she do even if she finds out? You're my sister, living here openly and honestly. Even if she's upset, she won't dare to do anything to you."

Hearing this completely irrelevant comforting remark, Xu Na leaned back in her chair, her last glimmer of hope extinguished.

As expected, this guy wasn't a reincarnated person at all. He had no idea how ruthless Li Qingqing was, nor what she would face in the future.

The plot continues to unfold as planned, but her time is truly running out.

The street scene outside the window kept receding, and the sycamore trees flashed by one after another. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

...What to do? Stop being so stubborn, think of something! This Lu Jingxiu is even more interesting than the one in the last life, she really doesn't want to give up!

Meanwhile, in a quiet café in downtown Hefei.

Three girls were sitting in the booth by the window.

The afternoon sun streamed through the glass windows, casting dappled shadows on the dark wooden table.

The girl sitting in the main seat was wearing the school uniform of Badu University. She had a cool and aloof temperament and delicate and beautiful features.

She picked up the coffee cup in front of her, took a small sip, then put the cup down, looked at the ordinary-looking girl across from her, and smiled.

"Xu Ning, the five thousand yuan has been transferred. Please check." She tapped her phone with her finger, her sparkling manicure highlighting her fair fingers, making them look exceptionally beautiful.

The girl named Xu Ning glanced down at her phone and saw a notification of a money transfer appear on the screen.

She swallowed hard and quickly tapped her phone to receive the transfer: "Received, thank you."

Li Qingqing nodded slightly and pointed to a high school graduation photo spread out on the table.

The graduation photo shows several rows of students, all wearing the same school uniform, and most of them are smiling stiffly.

"This is your class's graduation photo, right?" She looked up, her gaze falling on the slightly nervous face of the girl opposite her. "I want to ask, which one in this photo is Lu Na?"

"If you can also tell me which university Lu Na went to after graduating from high school..." A slight smile played on her lips, carrying a clear allure, "I can give you another ten thousand."

Xu Ning's eyes widened suddenly.

Although she didn't know why these two exquisitely dressed girls were so eager to find out about Lu Na, it didn't matter at all.

The important thing is that she and Lu Na had only a so-so relationship in high school, and they hadn't been in contact since graduating.

Exchanging a few pieces of information that everyone knows for 15,000 yuan is equivalent to three months' salary for her. Only a fool wouldn't do it.

"Wait a minute," she quickly opened her phone, her fingers flying through her contacts. "I know a few people in their dorm. I'll ask them for you."

Li Qingqing nodded slightly, without urging him, and slowly stirred the coffee in front of her with a small silver spoon.

The spoon tapped against the cup, making a soft, crisp tinkling sound.

Lu Na, the long-lost heiress of the Lu family?

She watched the tiny swirls that formed on the surface of her coffee, slowly making plans in her mind.

An ordinary high school girl, after disappearing for so many years, suddenly rises to prominence and becomes the phoenix of the Lu family.

What a coincidence!

If she really is a daughter of the Lu family, then she indeed cannot be touched for the time being.

No matter what, Lu Jingxiu is the only son of the Lu family, and she can't openly touch his younger sister, but if there's a problem with that identity...

She wouldn't mind sending this sister who suddenly appeared out of nowhere back to where she came from.

Looking out at the bustling street scene, a cold smile curved her lips. She wouldn't allow anyone to interfere with her training of Lu Jingxiu; no one was allowed.

The scene from that day in the dormitory kept replaying in her mind.

Lu Jingxiu knelt before her, his eyes, which always held a hint of aloofness and indifference, now reflected only her image.

He held her legs with both hands and looked up at her.

The eldest son of the Lu family, who was always arrogant and aloof in front of everyone, was like a tamed large dog at her feet, his eyes full of flattery and humility.

Yes, that's the feeling—the feeling of completely pulling the high and mighty young master down from his pedestal and making him willingly grovel at your feet.

Like the finest wine, it captivated her and made her addicted.

Just recalling that scene brings something to mind, bringing a tingling shiver.

She subtly brought her legs together, her fingertips tightening slightly as she gripped the handle of the silver spoon.

Anyone who dares to interfere and disrupt her plans will pay the price.

She wouldn't allow anyone to untie the chain around Lu Jingxiu's neck.

"Found it!" Xu Ning's voice interrupted the jumbled images swirling in Li Qingqing's mind. "Lu Na got into Ba Shi Business School back then. This is her WeChat account; she still uses it."

Immediately afterwards, the screen of Li Qingqing's phone on the table lit up, and a new friend recommendation popped up on WeChat.

"Oh?" Li Qingqing raised an eyebrow, her playful smile deepening. "Lu Na... didn't go abroad?"

Interesting, there are two Lu Nas in one class?

She picked up her phone, her fingertip hovered over the unfamiliar profile picture for a second, and then tapped "Send Friend Request".

At the same time, she opened Xu Ning's WeChat again, tapped her finger, and transferred another 10,000 yuan.

"I've transferred it to you," she stood up, picked up her handbag, and her tone returned to its usual calm. "It was a pleasure working with you."

She winked at Li Li, who was sitting next to her.

Li Li immediately understood and quickly stood up as well.

Without saying another word, the two walked quickly out of the coffee shop, one after the other.

The heatwave outside rushed in instantly, but Li Qingqing was completely unaware; she already had her next plan in mind.
