Chapter 167 Cousin Zhao Lingxin



It was half a month later when she returned to her classmates' sight. Fu Baoer and her friends had returned from vacation, and Fu Xiuzhi had also given birth to a boy weighing 6.62 catties. They named him Shen Sui'an, and his nickname was Liuliu.

In October, the Shen family will hold a lively full-moon banquet at home to celebrate the birth of their grandson.

Fu Baoer observed that Zhao Lingrou had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. It was obvious that she had not had a good time recently. This appearance made it impossible for those who wanted to ridicule her to say anything unpleasant.

To Zhao Lingrou, Fu Baoer and the others just pretended nothing had happened. Just like before, they talked when they should, and did their own thing when they shouldn't. Zhao Lingrou was more solitary than before, attending classes on time every day and not daring to copy other people's homework anymore.

If we ignore her terrible homework and poor test scores, Zhao Lingrou has actually worked very hard.

After more than ten days of peace, it was the day of Liuliu's full moon banquet. There were many guests and it was very lively. Among the many people who came to congratulate, Fu Baoer saw a familiar face.

The reason why I say familiar is because Fu Baoer thinks this girl looks a bit like Zhao Lingrou, but a closer look reveals that they are not the same person. Their temperaments are very different. One is weak and sickly, while the other is healthy and energetic.

There were quite a few people invited to the full moon banquet, and Shen Xiuqi specially found a few helpers. This girl came to help in the kitchen. She had a neat ponytail and was very similar to Zhao Lingrou in height and appearance.

Fu Baoer deliberately walked around the kitchen for a few times and chatted with the girl. Zhao Lingxin did not suspect anything and told Fu Baoer her name and other things. She said that she had just returned from working in the countryside and had not yet found a job, so she came out to help others do work to earn some money.

Zhao Lingxin's father passed away early, and she depended on her mother and brother for survival. Her life was very difficult. Although she finally returned to the city, she still had no job. When Fu Baoer learned this, she almost confirmed her previous guess.

There must be something fishy about Zhao Lingrou’s test results!

"What is your relationship with Zhao Lingrou?" Fu Baoer asked suddenly, not missing any of Zhao Lingxin's expressions.

Zhao Lingxin was caught off guard by the question and answered subconsciously: "She is my..."

Noticing Fu Baoer's expression, Zhao Lingxin quickly changed the subject: "I don't know any Zhao Lingrou. Did you ask the wrong person?"

Fu Baoer shrugged and didn't ask any more questions: "Maybe I was mistaken. You and my classmate look a bit like each other. I thought you were sisters!"

Zhao Lingxin was a little flustered. She didn't expect that she would meet her cousin's classmate here by such a coincidence. But then she thought, what is there to be afraid of? No one knows about it, and even if they know, she doesn't seem to have any loss.

"Haha, are they really that similar? A lot of people say that I look like others. Maybe I'm just too ordinary." Zhao Lingxin felt a little guilty. Not only did she look like her cousin, her name was only one character different from Zhao Lingrou's.

"My classmate is an only child, and I've never heard her say she has any sisters. Maybe people just look alike," Fu Baoer patted Zhao Lingxin's shoulder. "Even their names are so similar, what a coincidence."

Zhao Lingxin avoided Fu Baoer's gaze. She wasn't afraid of being discovered in her relationship with Zhao Lingrou, but she was afraid that Zhao Jian would be unwilling to fulfill his original promise after the truth came out. "The world is so big, there are so many coincidences. It's not surprising, not surprising."

Fu Baoer sensed the other party's resistance, dealt with it hastily with a few words, and then went to find Shen Suizhi and told him this discovery, "I suspect that Zhao Lingrou also found someone to take the college entrance examination for her. It was her cousin Zhao Lingxin."

Shen Sui also took a few more glances and felt that it was indeed similar, but he had no evidence. "I'll go check it out. Maybe it's really what you said. Then Zhao Lingrou's various behaviors can be explained."

If Zhao Lingrou was admitted to the Capital University based on her real ability, then Fu Baoer would have tolerated it, but if she used such shameful tricks during the college entrance examination, then don't blame Fu Baoer for writing a letter of denunciation.

......

Shen Suizhi acted quickly and soon found out the situation of Zhao Jian's family.

Zhao Jian had a twin brother, but he died of illness in his early years, leaving behind his wife and two children. Zhao Lingxin was obedient and sensible since childhood, and almost grew up with Zhao Lingrou.

Unlike Zhao Lingrou who grew up in a honeypot, Zhao Lingxin had to shoulder the burden of the family early on because her father died, her mother was weak, and her younger brother was too young. With the help of Zhao Jian, they could barely make ends meet. In order to make life better for her family, Zhao Lingxin often tried to please her cousin Zhao Lingrou, taking care of her, cherishing her, and giving in to her in everything.

However, Zhao Lingrou did not like this cousin because they looked too similar, but one was healthy and the other was sick. Looking at Zhao Lingxin, Zhao Lingrou felt it was unfair. Why was she running and jumping so energetic while she could only stand quietly, sit, or even lie down most of the time?

Later, when they went to the countryside, Zhao Jian tried his best to squeeze his daughter and Zhao Lingxin into the same place. Zhao Lingxin took the initiative to take on all the farm work for the two of them. In addition to working in the fields, she also had to come back to serve Zhao Lingrou meals and washing, just so that his mother and brother in the city could be taken care of more by Zhao Jian.

However, Zhao Lingrou was in poor health and could not adapt to rural life. She would faint in the fields at any time. The village cadres were so scared that they quickly called Zhao Jian. So not long after joining the team, Zhao Lingrou was taken back to the city to recuperate, but her household registration was never transferred back.

It was not until the college entrance examination that Zhao Jian found his niece again and said that if she took the exam in place of Zhao Lingrou, he would bring Zhao Lingxin home from the countryside, arrange a decent job for her, and give them some money.

Although she also wanted to go to college, Zhao Lingxin did not reject her uncle's proposal. At that time, she was being pursued by the son of the village secretary. If she could not return to the city, she might be forced to get married.

She didn't want to stay in the country all her life.

Shen Suizhi was able to investigate all of this because the secretary's son accidentally overheard the conversation between Zhao Lingxin and Zhao Jian. However, due to his identity as the director of the Capital Steel Plant and the considerable hush money, he did not expose it.

Now that he had higher chips, he of course told Shen Suizhi everything without reservation.

After hearing this, Fu Baoer felt that it was pretty much what she had guessed. "Sure enough, this Zhao Lingrou got into Shouda University by cheating. Damn it!"

Shen then sorted out the materials and submitted them together when reporting. Zhao Lingrou's dismissal was a foregone conclusion.

But what the two of them didn't expect was that before they could put the letter of complaint into the principal's office, Zhao Lingxin came to the door on his own initiative.
