In her previous life, Ruan Xianxian, who took her cousin's place to go down to the countryside, returned to the city and took over the fiancé her cousin didn't want. She thought she had fo...
Even though it was her precious possession, she couldn't help but turn her head away and gag. She wanted to throw the jade pendant on the table, but she was afraid of breaking it, so she could only hold it tightly in her hand.
Raising her eyes, reddened by tears, she demanded in a shrill voice, "Ruan Xianxian, you wicked woman, you soaked my jade pendant in a urinal?"
Seeing her expression that said, "I want to throw it away but I can't bear to, yet I feel disgusted holding it in my hand," Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue and denied it.
"No way! Who would put their jade pendant in a chamber pot? Cousin, how could you have such a perverted idea?"
I wear the jade pendant every day. Can you smell it? Does it smell like this wooden box?
I've heard walnut wood has a sour smell; maybe it's from the box?
Ruan Baozhu was furious. You're a pervert, your whole family are perverts!
"Are you kidding me?" She rushed into the kitchen and washed the pendant in the sink again and again until the pungent smell dissipated.
Ruan Xianxian wasn't worried, as there was still half a jar left in her storage space!
Ruan Baozhu, looking haggard and pale, walked out of the kitchen and happened to meet Lu Yi, who was knocking on the door and entering.
Seeing her fiancé, Ruan Baozhu showed no joy whatsoever; the anger and embarrassment on her face faded somewhat. "Why are you here?"
"Today isn't Grandpa's birthday, but I asked someone to get some nice things for Grandpa Ruan as a birthday gift."
"Little Lu is here? Come in and sit down. You didn't even say hello before coming. Let's have a good drink together today."
Lu Yi is the grandson of his former boss and also the young and promising fiancé he arranged for Baozhu. The old man wiped the fatigue from his face and forced a smile to greet the guest.
"Only you, a child, remember my birthday."
Lu Yi laughed heartily, his handsome features sharply defined. "Not at all! If you were to release the news, countless people would rush to celebrate your birthday!"
Starting this year, restrictions are being gradually lifted. As long as it's not a big fuss, if someone has a happy occasion, they can just have a couple of tables at home, and no one will hold a grudge anymore.
The old man liked to hear this and showed his first genuine, hearty smile of the day.
"Aunt Shan, could you please prepare this fish to make another dish?"
Ruan Xianxian watched coldly as Lu Yi handed the large fish he had brought in the net to her mother, his eyes full of smiles.
Looking at Ruan Baozhu behind her, whose eyes were filled with sarcasm and mockery, she began to believe the old hen in her house a little more.
"Oh my gosh! This is incredible! It's the shad, the king of the three delicacies of the Yangtze River! I haven't had it in years!" Her mother exclaimed with delight as she got up to take the fish and quickly headed to the kitchen.
Lu Yi followed closely behind, saying, "I'll help you out. This fish was frozen all the way from the south, and picking it up took a while, which is why we're late."
Grandpa stood up to stop him: "Xiao Lu, you are a guest. You can leave the cooking to your Aunt Shan."
"Never mind, let him go." Ruan Baozhu crossed her arms and sneered, "Who knows, we might be family in the future."
Did she really not realize that every time Lu Yi pretended to give her a gift, the one he put the most effort into was always the gift for his second aunt?
Her fiancé developed feelings for an older woman, which disgusted her greatly!
My second aunt is a vixen. Despite her age, her skin is better maintained than that of a young girl, and her mouth utters seductive, flirtatious sounds.
Until a delicious steamed shad was served, her mother's mouth never stopped. She picked out the small bones one by one and put the fish meat into Lu Yi's bowl.
"Eat more. If only I had a family as well-behaved as A-Yi, but unfortunately I was born to be a spoiled brat."
"Beating your father and cursing your mother, you might as well just kill yourself by smashing your head against a tofu block."
"If you like to put him in, just pull him out and he's yours." Ruan Xianxian wasn't going to indulge her.
Lu Yi sneered: "Talking back to your own mother, Ruan Xianxian, you're really showing me more and more as you get older."
Ruan Xianxian looked over suddenly, her eyes filled with a crimson light.
She could never forget that in her past life, it was this man, in the name of Ruan Baozhu, who personally pushed her towards the oncoming truck.
After days of pent-up emotions erupted, he grabbed a plate of braised prawns from the table and said, "You've seen a ghost if you've seen me."
Snap!
A whole plate of shrimp was dumped on Lu Yi's face.
Bowls and plates shattered, and red soup dripped and stained Lu Yi's military green shirt. Anger spread across his roguish face.
Her mother stood between the two of them, glanced at Ruan Xianxian from head to toe, and then pulled Lu Yi upstairs to change his clothes.
The hall was silent; everyone stared in shock and confusion, completely mesmerized.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Xianxian, whose personality had changed drastically, even dared to slap Lu Yi in the face.
Their expressions were complicated. Was this really the niece/granddaughter they knew so well, the one they'd never even heard from?
"Pah! What a load of nonsense! You don't know what horns are or what face is. My grandfather is still sitting here. Who are you to lecture me?"
After hitting and scolding her, Ruan Xianxian tidied her hair, sat down as if nothing had happened, and greeted everyone with an expression that seemed to say, "Why aren't you eating? Why are you looking at me?"
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
The third cousin nudged his eldest brother under the table and whispered, "Cousin, have you been drinking?"
"Ha!" the eldest cousin sneered, "Playing the fool."
Ruan Baozhu's gaze remained fixed on her cousin, then she glanced at Lu Yi, who had disappeared around the corner on the second floor.
Thinking about the 500 yuan she held in her hand, if she didn't squander it, wouldn't she be living a life of luxury in the countryside? What difference would that make from the successful and happy man in her dreams?
As she thought about it, Ruan Baozhu panicked!
The voice in her dream guided her, saying that the more miserable her cousin's life was, the luckier she would be.
Suddenly, I realized that the idea of sending her to the countryside to escape her grandfather's clutches was terrible!
A wicked thought suddenly popped into my head.
This would not only get rid of the disgusting Lu Yi, but also imprison Ruan Xianxian, ensuring she could never recover.
While the elders were flattering and saying nice things to her grandfather to ease the atmosphere, and no one was paying attention, she ran back to her room and opened a packet of veterinary aphrodisiac powder for breeding boars.
Go back to the dinner table and wait for the right opportunity.
Seeing Ruan Xianxian finish a bowl of rice and was about to get another bowl, still wanting more, she warmly stepped forward and said, "Cousin, you must be tired after a long day. Let me serve you some rice."
Ruan Xianxian didn't stop her, but thought to herself: [System, help me monitor this cousin.]
365: [Surveillance is fine, but it'll cost extra!]
"They're really obsessed with money," Ruan Xianxian thought with a cold laugh as she greeted Ruan Baozhu, who was holding a steaming bowl of rice and had a confident smile.
Given Ruan Baozhu's methods, she would at most spit out some concoction, or add something dirty to it.
While Ruan Baozhu was answering questions from her elders, she switched the rice from the mixed rice to the rice in her spatial dimension, then picked up the bowl and showed it off wildly.
After showing off her own, she got up, picked up the empty bowl of an elder on the table, and went to the kitchen to add more rice with a smile.
Ruan Xianxian, who was squatting in front of the rice cooker, took out the bowl of mixed rice and added it to her cousin's and Lu Yi's bowls respectively.
Humming a song, he took out the can of urine from the glass bottle and poured it into the rice cooker. He shared some with everyone, making sure there was more for the same price. He wanted to let this family, rotten to the core, completely decay and stink!
