There was no surprise on his handsome face, as if he had already expected Lin Fengmian to say this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian looked at him, and the obedient expression that he displayed in front of Ning Li faded away. A hint of hostility had appeared in the depths of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he carefully enunciated, “Lu Huaiyu, the Second Master of the Lu family in the Capital, the person in charge of the Lu Group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu kept a low profile and no information related to him could be found on the Internet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at the same time, he was famous in the entire Capital for being arrogant and noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Fengmian had only returned to the country for his debut a few months ago, his momentum had been unstoppable. It had not been difficult for him to make inquiries about this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian said coldly, “Second Master Lu probably doesn’t lack for women. Why have you come to provoke my sister?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lu family was one of the top aristocratic families in the Capital. Lu Huaiyu was even more powerful and influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a man, what more could he want?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he liked someone, he could flatter them to the heavens. Similarly, if he did not like someone, he could also trample them into the mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could do as he pleased without anyone controlling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a person, who knew what would happen next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was taller than Lin Fengmian. In addition to his imposing manner, his deep phoenix eyes looked at him with a hint of condescension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thin lips curved into a faint smile. His voice was low and languid, but it carried a powerful pressure that made it almost impossible to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “Lin Fengmian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who do you think you are that makes you think that you can say that to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian was very popular, but in the face of real power and capital, he could not be any smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people in the circle wanted to curry favor with the Lu family. Even a little favor from Lu Huaiyu would be enough to feed them for several lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, all of his patience and courtesy toward Lin Fengmian was for Ning Li’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu had been willing to compromise only because Ning Li had called him “Mian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian pursed his lips tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his heart felt very hostile toward Lu Huaiyu, he had to admit that this man was indeed more powerful than what the rumors said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was born with pride, but it was also the arrogance that came from being in a position of power for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not up to anyone to interfere in the matter between me and her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Huaiyu had finished speaking, he gave Lin Fengmian a final indifferent glance before turning around to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian slowly clenched his fists as he stared at the back of the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am insignificant, but if you dare to bully my sister in the future, Lu Huaiyu, I will not let you off even if I have to risk my life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life was hers, to begin with anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu paused in his steps and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But of course, if you want, you may call me brother-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fengmian pursed his lips and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu headed to Lincheng First Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li had planned to go inside by herself, but after some consideration, she had decided to let Lu Huaiyu go with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat on the chair and waited quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu sat next to her and held her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two prison guards walked over with a middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wearing a prison uniform and looked to be in his forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was in this state, there were still traces of his handsome looks from his youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for his good looks, he would not have been able to coax Su Yuan to marry him when he was penniless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attitude of the prison guards was better than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Ning Li, Ning Haizhou’s expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“… Ah Li…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li called out, “Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou’s lips moved. He wanted to say something, but he was unable to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he noticed Lu Huaiyu beside her, as well as their clasped hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Li, this is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu said, “Hello, Mr. Ning. I’m Ah Li’s boyfriend, Lu Huaiyu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou was stunned for a while before he digested this information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not help but frown as he looked at Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li, you’re only 18.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the age that he and Su Yuan had gotten together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had been immature and had caused a huge ruckus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he did not agree with Ning Li dating right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Ning Li appeared exceptionally calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, I’m not Su Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu was not Ning Haizhou either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what she said, Ning Haizhou instantly looked dismayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li continued, “I came here today because I have a few things to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she successively recounted everything that had happened during this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she took out the admission notice and showed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the admission notice for Xijing University. I’ll be going to the Capital to attend university in September, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to come here often after that. So today, I also came to say goodbye to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not fully react to what Ning Li had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the admission letter, his eyes turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good… good…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Ning Li and wanted to say something, but he hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he finally stammered, “Ah Li, your mother… She must be facing some hard times now. If you can help, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s expression turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not expected that Ning Haizhou would still say something like that even after experiencing so much and hearing so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because his gaze was too cold, Ning Haizhou suddenly woke up. Subconsciously he changed the rest of his words, looking dejected and fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Just pretend that your father ever said this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li’s expression was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t be helping her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou clenched his fists. After a long while, he finally said with difficulty, “But… after all, she gave birth to you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s precisely because she gave birth to me and raised me for seven years that as long as she doesn’t cross that line again, I won’t look for trouble with her again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best for them to be strangers and never meet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Haizhou opened his mouth and looked at Ning Li with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, he covered his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Li, it’s Daddy who’s sorry for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daddy is sorry for you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of the prison gate, the sun was shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li raised her head slightly and exhaled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was finally over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at her sideways and suddenly said, “Ah Li, you don’t look very similar to your father..”\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.757Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdbde86a9465ca79af021285d66492475b766017f70251746253bea837a20428","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-469","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-467",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
