378: Are You Angry With Me?

Are You Angry With Me?

It was already midnight when Lu Ning managed to reach Lin Ci.2

Lin Ci's voice sounded off when she picked up the phone, so Lu Ning thought that she was angry.

"Little Ci, are you angry with me?"

Lin Ci did not understand what she meant. "Huh? Angry with you?"

She was just a little confused.

After a bit, Lin Ci finally understood what Lu Ning was talking about.

"Aiya, what are you even thinking? I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about something. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Hearing Lin Ci's concerned tone, Lu Ning could not help but tear up again. "Much better. Did the banquet just end?"

Lin Ci nodded. "Yes."

After the two of them chatted for a while, Lin Ci still felt uncomfortable holding the news in, so she simply asked, "Ning'ning, does your family… have any family heirlooms?"

Just now, a group of experts from Ji Feng Studio came down. They held her bracelet and inspected it, examining it left and right, testing it again and again, comparing it again and again; they were very rigorous. After confirming it several times, they told Lin Ci that it was indeed an antique, and it was even from the Ming Dynasty. It was a priceless treasure. They even told her that she could consider donating it to the museum, and that now the country attached great importance to this; they even said that previously, a pair of Ming Dynasty earrings previously had been auctioned for the astronomical price of 50 billion. It was unbelievable how much this bracelet could fetch.

Lin Ci really wanted to know: Why would Shen Yunci give her such a precious thing!?

She was even a little afraid.

However, when she received it, Shen Yunci specifically said to open it at home. Doesn't that mean she wants me to avoid Lu Ning?

Therefore, even though she was very confused, Lin Ci felt that she should not tell Lu Ning directly. She had to test the waters first; it would not be good if she caused trouble for Lu Ning.

After asking the question, Lu Ning fell silent for a moment…

"Family heirlooms? I don't know? Let me go ask."

With that, she got down from the bed. From the sounds of it, she really wanted to go out and ask.

Lin Ci immediately wanted to stop her. "Ning'ning!"

However, Lu Ning had the phone away from her ear, and went straight to the living room.

"Dad, Mom, does our family have any family heirlooms?"

Lin Ci: "…"

Who even asks so directly? However, she still pricked up her ears to listen.

Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi looked at each other in confusion, then at Lu Ning. "No, we don't."

Their tone was very natural, and she did not feel like she was lying at all.

"What's wrong, darling?"

Shen Yunci asked, puzzled.

Lu Ning was afraid that she was overthinking things, so she said casually, "It's nothing. It's just an extracurricular interview question. Then I'm going back to do my homework, Mom, Dad."

"Okay, go ahead."

Lin Ci heard Lu Ning's footsteps, followed by the sound of the door closing. At this, she asked, "Haven't Uncle and Auntie gone to bed yet?"

Lu Ning happened to put her phone to her ear. "Not yet. They're watching a drama."

Lin Ci could not help but laugh. Then, Lu Ning said, "My parents said we don't. Little Ci, why the sudden interest?"

Lin Ci: "Uh… it's an extracurricular interview question."

Lu Ning could not help but laugh when she heard her own words used against her.

She did not continue to ask. Lin Ci probably did not want to divulge too much.

The two of them chatted for a while before bidding each other goodnight.

After hanging up, Lin Ci was even more puzzled.

In the end, why?

Why would she give her such an expensive thing?

Also, why did Auntie have something so expensive?!

Could it be that… she robbed some grave somewhere?!

Before she came up with something even more ludicrous, Lin Ci quickly stopped herself from thinking further.

Should I just ask Auntie in person the next time I see her?
