Chapter 192
The aunt who had lived in the alley for decades thought the young man looked familiar, so she squinted her eyes and took a closer look.
Isn't this Lu Xun from the old Lu family? !
Didn't he say he was dead?! How come he drives such a nice car, with a license plate number of 888, and wears such expensive clothes!
A middle-aged man on the roadside threw away his cigarette butt. When he looked up, he happened to see this scene. He saw the young man's face clearly in the dim sunset, and his expression was instantly confused.
As soon as he reacted, he wanted to go forward. He thought of something, clapped his hands, and ran towards home excitedly.
Lu Xun got out of the car and went to the back seat. Without waking up the girl who was still sleeping in the back seat, he gently pulled up the blanket that had slipped off, held the girl's hand and put it in.
Jiang Qiao subconsciously grasped the man's fingers in a daze. Lu Xun gently pulled them out and kissed her lips soothingly, saying softly, "Be good, sleep a little longer..."
He hadn't been home for a long time. Although he had asked someone to clean the house in advance, Lu Xun was still worried and planned to do a simple disinfection himself. This would take some time, so Jiang Qiao could sleep a little longer.
Hearing Lu Xun's voice, Jiang Qiao seemed to have found a safe haven. He turned over and continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Walking into the alley, Lu Xun glanced at the bright red word "demolition" on the wall, and came to a dilapidated iron door with peeling paint. He reached out and easily took out a key from above the eaves of the door.
The door lock was a bit rusty, and Lu Xun turned the key hard before it opened.
With a creaky sound, the iron door was slowly pushed open, and the dull smell of wooden furniture hit him in the face. Lu Xun frowned.
Lu Xiaoyan was busy cooking at home. The door banged. She was impatient and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Xiaoyan, open the door!"
It was her husband's voice. Lu Xiaoyan's face turned even uglier. She slammed the door open and yelled, "You're going to die! Why don't you kick it? If you break it, you'll have money to buy a new door!"
She had been extremely upset these past few days over the issue of the demolition compensation for the Lu family's house, and had to endure the sarcastic ridicule from her neighbors.
We are all members of the Lu family, so why doesn't she have a share of the house? It was because she made the young Lu Xun do dirty and tiring work all day, and because she was sorry for the money, she tried to prevent Lu Xun from going to school.
This forced Lu Xun to do odd jobs at a young age, picking up bottles...
She got angry whenever she thought of this, and she also felt a little guilty that she herself refused to admit, so she could only vent her anger on her husband: "If you hadn't insisted on kicking that brat Lu Xun out, would he have given us his house?!"
"Alright, alright, what's the point of saying this now!" Zhao Jianguo was not angry, but looked excited: "Do you know who I saw just now?!"
"You can see whomever you want—"
"Lu Xun!" Zhao Jianguo interrupted her excitedly, "Your nephew Lu Xun is back and is now in the house that is to be demolished!"
He then exaggerated, saying that he drove a luxury car, wore expensive clothes, and acted like a rich man.
"That brat is back?!" Lu Xiaoyan couldn't believe it.
She had been blocking the way for so many days but couldn't find anyone, and Lu Xun came back on his own? !
"Yeah, what are you cooking for!" Zhao Jianguo pulled her away, and thinking of Lu Xiaoyan's temper, he whispered, "Lu Xun is rich now, so he doesn't care about this little bit of demolition money. When you see him later, talk to him nicely. After all, you are his aunt, and our family raised him. If you make him happy, maybe he can give us more money!"
"But..." Before Lu Xiaoyan could finish her words, Zhao Jianguo interrupted her and added another strong dose of medicine: "Think about our son, he can't even go to college, and he doesn't have a job. In the future, he will need a house and a car to marry a wife, and these all require money. Where can we get so much money?"
"Your nephew is a rich man now. I heard that the car he drives costs tens of millions! Not to mention the demolition compensation, he should give you another ten million. You are his only relative in this world!"
If you can easily buy luxury cars worth tens of millions, then wouldn’t it be easy for your aunt’s family to give you tens of millions?
Zhao Jianguo spoke confidently, his tone full of jealousy and sourness. After listening to him, Lu Xiaoyan felt the last bit of guilt in her heart disappear.
Yes, she is Lu Xun’s biological aunt, the only relative in this world. Lu Xun has no parents, so shouldn’t all the money he earns in the future be given to her to honor her?
Blood is thicker than water, and kinship ties cannot be severed by just a few words.
"Okay, I'll talk it over there." Lu Xiaoyan made up her mind. She was afraid that Lu Xun would leave if she was too late, so she quickly turned off the gas and took off her apron: "Let's go now. You call Xiaokai and ask him to go too."
Lu Xiaoyan thought of something and added, "Ask Xiaokai to buy some fruit milk or something. Buy the kind that comes in bags. Don't go home empty-handed."
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it."
……………………
The old house has not been occupied for a long time.
The water and electricity bills had been paid in advance. Lu Xun turned on the light, and the bulb flickered a few times before settling.
His eyes slowly swept across this simple space, and paused for a moment on the folding bed by the wall.
Nothing has changed. He seems to see the young and immature Jiang Qiao sitting at the table again, propping up his face and acting like a spoiled child to him. Studying is really hard.
At this moment, he really wanted to go back to the car and make sure that everything was not a dream. He had found his Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Thinking of the girl sleeping soundly in the car, Lu Xun's tense heart relaxed.
The house was small and very clean. Lu Xun rolled up his off-white sleeves and wiped the table and chairs again with disinfectant tissues before taking out his phone and sending a message.
Just as the message was sent, there was a knock on the door. Lu Xun walked over and opened the door, frowning: "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Xiaoyan was still knocking on the door, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw the tall and elegant man who was half a head taller than her.
This...is her nephew Lu Xun?
Although she had seen the photos online, she was still shocked when she saw him face to face.
In her memory, Lu Xun was still a thin and cold boy, so cold that he refused to let anyone get close to him. In the blink of an eye, he grew into what he is now...
After being pushed by her husband, she came back to her senses. Seeing Lu Xun's unfamiliar eyes, she said awkwardly: "Look at you, kid, I'm your aunt......"
Trying hard to be intimate, I still can't hide my stiff and awkward expression and movements.
Lu Xiaoyan has aged a lot. Time has not been kind to her, and the traces are particularly obvious on her face.
Lu Xun recognized her and looked a little cold, but he still opened the door and let the two in.
"Aunt wants to see me for something?"
Although his attitude was not good, it was also very polite. Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be friendly in front of Lu Xiaoyan, "Xiao Xun, why haven't you contacted your family in all these years? Your aunt must miss you very much."
