Chapter 499: One Day, I"ll Make Them Regret!“An?” This is such a coincidence!
Lou Qianxue curiously looked at the handsome young man.
When Hong Qinghe saw the man walking over, he quickly introduced, “Miss Qianxue, this is An Yuzhi from the Imperial City"s An family. Brother An, this is Lou Qianxue from the Fengyang prefecture"s Lou family.”
“Fengyang prefecture"s Lou family?” A glint appeared in An Yuzhi"s eyes as he looked at Lou Qianxue.
Both of their eyes met.
At the next moment…
“How is Lou Xiaoxiao related to you?”
“How is An Shaoning related to you?”
They had asked each other at the same time. This stunned them for a while before they chuckled.
Lou Qianxue replied, “Lou Qianxue is my sister.”
An Yuzhi nodded and said, “An Shaoning is my brother.”
They exchanged glances again and smiled.
On the other hand, Hong Qinghe was confused. “What"s going on? Do you know each other?”
“We didn"t, but we do now.” Lou Qianxue smiled. “Young Master Qinghe, I heard that you lost to Xiaoxiao two years ago. So, just like me, you"re here to report, right?”
“Yes.” After Hong Qinghe answered, he realized that something was amiss. Then, he stared at Lou Qianxue in astonishment.
“Wait a moment! You"re here to report too? Did you partic.i.p.ate in the admission trial for the Imperial Academy? I was in Liuyun Prefecture, but I didn"t see you at all! However, a lot of rumors about you have been spread around Liuyun Prefecture…”
Lou Qianxue took out a wooden badge and waved it at him. “I"m a specially-admitted student.”
“… How impressive! As expected of you, Miss Qianxue.”
Hong Qinghe smiled and continued, “Since we"re both here to register, we can go together!”
“Yeah.” Lou Qianxue glanced at An Yuzhi. “Young Master An, do you know where Shaoning and Xiaoxiao are?”
“I came with Miss Xiaoxiao. She was afraid that you won"t be able to find her, so she specially came to the academy to wait for you. Oh, right. Her dormitory is the third room in the third block. I"ll bring you over later.”
“Okay. Thank you!”
Soon, the three of them went to register at the registration office. An Yuzhi then led them to Lou Xiaoxiao"s lodgings.
“Xiaoxiao!” When Lou Xiaoxiao opened the door, Lou Qianxue said with a grin, “I"m here.”
“Qianxue!” The sight of Lou Qianxue, who looked the same as before, stunned Lou Xiaoxiao. Then, with extreme delight and surprise, she strode forward and hugged Lou Qianxue. “You"re finally back… Do you know that for these two years…”
Lou Xiaoxiao started to choke on her tears.
“I"m sorry.” Lou Qianxue patted her shoulder. “I came back too late.”
Lou Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It"s not late at all! It"s not late at all! You always come back at the most critical moments…”
An awkward look appeared on Lou Qianxue"s face as she coughed. “I didn"t want to do so either, but it"s always so coincidental. Oh, right. Where"s Grandpa, Xiaoxiao?”
“Grandpa…” Lou Xiaoxiao paused, then continued in a colder tone. “Lou Jinglei chased the Lou family members from Qingyun City out of the Lou Family. I told Grandpa to stay in this city. He"s probably buying a house with Shaoning right now. Grandpa said that he"s hoping for you to come back. Only then can we be a family…”
“…” Emotions surged through Lou Qianxue"s heart. After she recovered her calmness, she clenched her fists. “Lou Jinglei!”
She spoke with a gloomy expression, “He took matters into his own hands, submitted to Third Prince, and gave Xiaoxiao to Ying Guogong"s Mansion. I have yet to settle the score with him for these incidents. Now, he acted against Grandpa again! Hmph! If I meet him the next time, I"ll definitely not spare him!”
Suddenly, Lou Qianxue remembered the Crown Prince"s illness. A menacing look flashed across her eyes.
“Lou Jinglei! Fengyang prefecture"s Lou Family! One day, I"ll make them regret all this! They"ll regret treating Grandpa and Qingyun City"s Lou Family like this!”
After speaking, she closed her eyes. Suppressed the fury rising within her, she opened them again and said, “Lou Jinglei is short-sighted and selfish. He"ll face a ho
