Chapter 2294: Explain the stakes
“Miss Lu, are you blaming me? Are you blaming me for not seeing you when you wanted to see me?”
Lu Zijia placed her hands behind her back and turned slightly to look at Lu Yixun. No emotion could be seen on her beautiful face.
“No, no, I don’t blame you, Master Lu.”
Lu Yixun denied it, but her pitiful eyes were filled with obvious resentment.
“I-I just… I just hope that Master Lu won’t treat me as an outsider. As long as Master Lu says the word, I’m willing to do anything. I, I really want to repay you. Please believe me, okay?”
Although she felt bad when her cla.s.smates doubted her, she really didn’t blame Master Lu.
She just felt that she was not understood and felt wronged.
In addition to Master Lu’s unfamiliar way of addressing her just now, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Lu Zijia sighed slightly and looked at Lu Yixun with a complicated gaze.” You know, maybe you really want to help me and repay me, but I can’t ask for your help.”
“W-what do you mean?”
Lu Yixun was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn’t understand what she meant.
” What I mean is that your repayment for your help has caused me a lot of trouble. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Lu Zijia knew that Lu Yixun would not understand her subtle hints, so she said it directly.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help Lu Yixun, her sister in name, but that she couldn’t.
He couldn’t help her endlessly without any principles.
Before Lu Yixun could reply, Lu Zijia continued,” Ah Yan and I told you last time that we didn’t need your help. That was the truth. We weren’t being polite or embarra.s.sed.”
Last time, I only helped you once because of your two brothers. I didn’t embarra.s.s you in front of your cla.s.smates.
But now I regret it. I shouldn’t have helped you last time. Instead, I should have explained the stakes to you.”
“Master, Master Lu, what are you talking about? How could you say such a thing…”
Lu Yixun looked like she had suffered a huge blow and was in great grief. She couldn’t accept it at all.
However, before she could finish, Lu Zijia raised her hand and interrupted her.” Do you think I’m going overboard? Then do you know that I’ve already broken my promise by helping you last time?
If I don’t handle it well, I might even become the academy’s public enemy.”
“Perhaps you can’t think of the pros and cons at all, so I’ll explain it to you in detail.
Firstly, I rejected the visits of everyone in the academy, including the Vice President, the Headmasters of the various departments, and all the teachers in the academy. This meant that I refused to let anyone enter through the back door.
However, he only let you in because you’re the younger sister of the Lu brothers.
Secondly, I’ve publicly said that I don’t accept private transactions of flying spiritual artifacts.
But seeing that you’re the younger sister of the Lu brothers, I went against my words.
Third, I asked Dean Du to help me block those people who wanted to use the back door. Dean Du worked so hard to help me block those people, but I sold you two flying spirit tools in private. This is equivalent to stabbing Dean Du in the back.
If it weren’t for Dean Du’s magnanimity, Dean Du and I would have already become enemies.
Do you think I should regret it?”
Lu Zijia’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.” Miss Lu, let me give you a piece of advice. In the future, don’t do things based on your own strength. Don’t do whatever you want, and don’t judge others based on what you think.”
