Chapter 91: Eating is not as interesting as a handsome guy
"For the first two days after I got out, he took me to a restaurant for Western food and bought you dim sum. He said he'd made a lot of money from his business and wanted to live a good life with us. But he didn't leave me a penny yesterday... not a penny at all."
Lin Yuezhen's red eyes widened, her voice trembling, "He took my bag. I have no food or water. Today, a kind person helped me charge my phone, and then I realized that even the hard-earned money from selling fried noodles had been transferred away by him."
"Mom is stupid, and I'm too embarrassed to see you and Jiaojiao. I also want to find a short-term job here and save enough money to buy a ticket back to Jiangcheng, but no one wants me..."
Lin Yuezhen huddled in the corner of the train station, her hair disheveled.
Shame surged up like a huge wave, mixed with endless panic, pinching her throat. "I always feel that the ID card is in the bag. He lied to me. What if he used it to take out a loan? There's still so much money in the bank card. I heard that I can withdraw it with my ID card. Jiaojiao needs it urgently. What should I do?"
"It was transferred out a long time ago," Xu Jiqing said, "It's not much money."
Lin Yuezhen has never opened a credit card.
In the first few months after I came to Jiangcheng last year, I had a lot of things to buy and old debts to pay off, which almost drained the money from my savings cards.
But Lin Yuezhen never knew it.
Xu Jiqing lowered his hands, his eyes quieter than the night. "Let's go to the police station at the train station now and report the loss of my ID card to the police. Let's see if I can block it from my credit report."
"Has he beaten you in the past six months?"
Lin Yuezhen hesitated to speak, and habitually retorted, "No, it's not a fight..."
"Okay," Xu Jiqing closed his eyes, "Tell the truth to the police and report the case."
"He's been detained numerous times for gambling and causing trouble, and he almost beat his son to death and spent several years in jail. He talked about it all."
He has no violent emotions.
But it was this icy calm that made Lin Yuezhen collapse.
She was a cowardly person who was used to seeking support. She hadn't closed her eyes or eaten for a whole day. Xu Jiqing was responsible for the most frightening things. She thought her son would hold up the collapsed sky. As she cried, she couldn't help but feel scared.
"If my phone wasn't worth anything, would he have stolen it too?"
"It's not because it's worthless." Xu Jiqing said.
"Xu Wenyao got used to you putting everything in your bag and thought he had taken everything."
The world is like a huge absurd drama.
Every time he caught his breath during intermission and the curtain opened, there was always a more ridiculous performance waiting for him.
The summer night was quiet. Xu Jiqing leaned against the headboard, his voice flat and still. "He lost again and is anxious to make back his money."
"But as long as I'm alive, Xu Wenyao knows that after he takes this money, he won't be able to squeeze a penny out of you again. So what's the point of letting you return to Jiangcheng?"
"Should I ask you to come back and report the case?"
He smiled and said, "Instead of leaving this hidden danger, why not let you disappear?"
It’s actually not that far from Shencheng to Jiangcheng.
But for Xu Wenyao, who had calculated her character well, having no money, no ID card and no one was like cutting off Lin Yuezhen's legs.
A few hours of high-speed rail can trap her here and she will never be able to go back.
Lin Yuezhen's head buzzed.
She once thought that her husband had repented, and that as time went by, their home, which was left with only an empty shell, would one day be restored to its original state, and everything would be fine.
Even though there were occasional frictions, even though deep down I was afraid that he would lose control again, I cowardly felt that going along with him was the only way to prevent terrible things from happening.
turn out to be……
After all these years, she is the only one who still treats him as family.
Her children were covered in bruises.
The person sleeping next to her pillow was no longer her childhood lover, but a complete devil.
-
Su Xiaojuan does what she says.
Throughout the summer vacation, no matter how busy she was at the company, she would pick up Su Xia and take her to the Conservatory of Music to practice piano with Teacher Li in the morning and evening, and she would come again at noon to have lunch with her daughter in the small room in the piano room building.
Under such strict supervision, the chance of Su Xia sneaking into South City or KFC is almost zero.
The bad news was that Xu Jiqing seldom replied to her text messages and was even more tight-lipped about his whereabouts, so she couldn't get a single word out of him.
The good news is that she turned her grief and anger into strength and was able to stay focused even if she wasn't paying attention.
The outcome of this cello final originally affected only the number of places in the end-of-year self-recruitment exam, but now it has taken on a different meaning:
Only good grades can make Su Xiaojuan relax.
If he had really waited until the end of the year to regain his freedom, Xu Jiqing would have disappeared somewhere unknown.
With this belief, Su Xia performed exceptionally well, and with overwhelming good luck, she once again won the second prize in the finals.
The first prize winners are all professional piano students from the High School Affiliated to the Conservatory of Music.
She was not planning to pursue a vocational path, and used the second-place national award to leverage the self-recruitment of gifted students. As long as her academic performance could keep up, it would be enough for her to be admitted to Tsinghua University, which was what Xu Jiqing later did.
Su Xiaojuan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. If her relationship with her family wasn't so strained, she would have wanted to hold a banquet in her hometown to show off her promising daughter.
On the plane back from Shanghai, Su Xiaojuan said proudly, "Do you want a yacht?"
"It's summer now, pick out a style you little girls like and take your good friends out to play on the sea."
An electronic brochure lit up on the screen, and she flipped through it with great interest. "The interior and bow can be customized. I think we could have your name gilded, like your cello case. It would look beautiful in the sun during the day and look great under the lights at night."
Destiny is a very mysterious thing.
In her previous life, she had to beg for a yacht with great difficulty, but now her mother gave it to her on her own initiative, and it was probably more expensive than the previous one.
But Su Xia didn't want it that much.
Su Xiaojuan couldn't help her realize the reward she really wanted, so she could only make a sincere wish in her heart.
Is there any kind-hearted god who can make Xu Jiqing appear in front of her inexplicably?
Please.
She is willing to burn any amount of incense.
She didn't know whether God heard it or not.
But the next day after returning to Jiangcheng, Su Xiaojuan, who had postponed company activities for a week, went on a business trip and stayed in Gangcheng for three days.
Su Xia was like a bird out of a cage. She immediately took a taxi and went around to several bases. However, she found nothing except that Lin Yuezhen was the only one left at the fried noodle stall.
When we returned from South City, it was already dark.
The listless Su Xia was picked up by Li Chun, a junior sister brought by Teacher Li, and taken to the city center to celebrate the victory of the competition.
The girl is a junior at the Conservatory of Music this year. She comes from a wealthy family and has attended a master class in Beijing with Su Xia. They see each other every day and are closer to her than many of their classmates in school.
As soon as the news of the award came out, Li Chun asked her for several days when they would have dinner together.
Finally, we caught the person today. The destination was very clear. I excitedly took her hand and went to the top floor, opened the heavy door of the bar and pulled her in.
Inside and outside the door are like two different worlds.
The lights were dim, neon lights and lasers exploded in the darkness, the air was filled with the strong smell of champagne and perfume, and the roar of the subwoofer went straight from under his feet to his spine, making Su Xia's chest numb.
After working diligently for a whole year, her sense of morality has improved.
She was no stranger to places like this in her previous life, but now she felt extremely guilty and wanted to turn around the moment she entered the door.
"Aren't you here to eat? Why are you here?"
The drumbeats were too loud, and Su Xia couldn't hear herself. She leaned over to Li Chun's ear and said loudly, "I can't come here. I'm still a minor."
"Look at how cowardly you are. Are you still an art student?"
Li Chun didn't hesitate to pull her all the way to the booth, "Eating with handsome guys is not fun, little sister brought you here to relieve your fatigue."
