152: Going to the Capital

Going to the Capital

"Why? Is there anything up?"1

"I want to… do homework with my classmates, their parents will pick me up from the school gate. I'll call you then."

Hearing that he would be with his classmates, Shen Yunci was quite relieved, but she was still a little worried.

"How many of your classmates will be there? Why don't Mommy and Daddy go with you?"

"There's no need, all my classmates will be going. Even if Mommy and Daddy don't follow me, I can video call you all the way."

"Alright then. Remember to contact Daddy and Mommy promptly. If Daddy and Mommy don't pick up, you have to contact Brother and Sister."

Lu Jingzhi nodded. "Got it. I'm going to do my homework."

"Go ahead."

Lu Ning also got up to wash up.

The next day, Lu Ning went to the classroom and asked the sports committee member for a few publicity fliers.

At noon, she brought them to the infirmary for Gu Zi and Gu Chen to take a look.

Gu Zi said excitedly, "Can we participate?"

Lu Ning laid on the sofa and looked at him. "Which one do you want to participate in?"

Gu Zi glanced at it. "This one, Gu Chen and I can participate together! This 'intelligence relay' needs three people, so you definitely need us!"

Lu Ning nodded helplessly. "Okay, okay."

Gu Zi smiled in satisfaction and continued to check if there was anything else he could participate in.

"I feel like we could participate in all of them."

Gu Zi mumbled as the two of them examined the flier.

Looking at them, Lu Ning said, "I'm going to the capital this weekend."

"Huh?"

Both of them looked up at the same time.

"To the capital?"

Lu Ning straightened up and nodded.

"Jingzhi has a competition in Beijing."

"Need us to go with?"

"No need, we're just headed there for a competition. There's also no need to do anything else, so you guys rest at home."

They both nodded.

"What competition is it? Isn't your little brother still young?"

Lu Ning could not help but laugh at his gestures. "He's not that young, he's already five."

Gu Chen continued to look at the publicity flier in his hand. "Five years old, yet mature and calm. He's a real talent."

To this day, he still remembered Lu Jingzhi's appearance at the hospital the last time. He had been so calm that he did not seem like a child at all.

"Don't get any ideas."

"What kind of ideas can we even get? You're our Boss, and our Boss's younger brother is also one of ours, so he's already one of us."

Lu Ning: "…"

After school, Lu Jingzhi followed the throng of students and strolled out; many parents were gathered outside, waiting to pick up their children. Lu Jingzhi passed through the crowd and turned left into the main road; there were fewer people here. He looked at a black Bentley not far away and walked over slowly.

Old Zhu had been waiting for a long time. At that time, Lù Yue'an thought that Lu Jingzhi had noted the time classes ended wrongly—the kindergarten ended classes an hour earlier rather than ten minutes, so she asked Old Zhu to come much earlier. In the end, despite staring at the entrance for more than an hour, he still had not emerged. Besides, Old Zhu had only vaguely seen Lu Jingzhi twice, and was uncertain which of them was him.

Until someone knocked on the car window.

A child who looked to be five or six years old stood by the car door and looked at him.

"Old Zhu?"

He called out.

Old Zhu subconsciously greeted him and hurriedly came to his senses.

"You must be Young Master Jingzhi. The Young Mistress, Lù Yue'an, sent me to pick you up."

Lu Jingzhi nodded and got into the backseat by himself. Old Zhu quietly retracted his already half-extended leg.

Cough—

"Young Master, please fasten your seatbelt. We're leaving."

"Yes, and just call me Jingzhi."
