Chapter 372: A mind full of twists and turns
Lu Jingshen said to Li Jingyi, "You want to instigate trouble in our family? That's too easy for you. If you have nothing to do, just leave. We hate people like you the most in our family."
Li Jingyi is really having a headache now: "Cousin, I know I was wrong, really, I, how can I say it?"
She was so anxious that her head was in a knot. She could have told the truth, but she had already offended this person. If she told the truth, if Lin Xiaoxia held a grudge and hurt her, wouldn't that be even worse? So she held back and didn't say anything.
At this time, Lu Jingyuan packed up the snacks and canned food that Li Jingyi brought and handed them to Li Jingyi: "I tried two pieces of that snack, and I paid for it with money. Our family doesn't owe you anything."
He was determined to form a united front with his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Lin Xiaoxia is very happy. Her whole family is so kind to her. Who wouldn’t be happy to be the family’s favorite?
Li Jingyi couldn't take the things Lu Jingyuan handed over: "What are you doing? I'm wrong. I will change in the future. Can't you give me a chance?"
Lin Xiaoxia smiled: "Why should we give you a chance? Okay, as Jingshen said, our two families are not that close. It was quite awkward. We also know your purpose. I can also see your feelings towards Jingshen. If I forgive you and let you instigate in our family, then I will really have nothing to do."
This was said so clearly that Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen also understood it. They both looked at Li Jingyi in that way. They both disliked this kind of indecent woman.
Li Jingyi was so depressed. She had changed her target now, but why did they keep harping on the past? Couldn't they give her a chance to correct her mistakes?
She stamped her feet anxiously: "No, cousin, you really misunderstood me. I don't mean that now. I... Hey, I swear to you today, I promise not to ruin your relationship again. I just ask you not to hate me, okay?"
It's not that she hadn't thought about contacting Sun Qiang on her own initiative, but she was afraid that Lin Xiaoxia would retaliate against her. After all, they were in such a big business partnership, they must trust each other more, and what she had done before was indeed not acceptable.
So now she could only try her best not to make Lin Xiaoxia angry, and then go find Sun Qiang herself so that they wouldn't suspect anything.
But this is really not the development that Li Jingyi hopes for. She is also worried that Sun Qiang may not like her style. What should she do then?
She had previously wanted to repair her relationship with Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen, and then ask them to help introduce her to a partner. If Sun Qiang didn't work out, she could find other rich boys because they were all guaranteed to be rich. Now, if they didn't help, she could only take a gamble and hook up with Sun Qiang, but the success rate was too low.
Lin Xiaoxia noticed something was wrong with Li Jingyi's expression and words, so she asked, "What's going on? I feel like there's something else going on. You know I don't tolerate any injustice. If you do anything shady again, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Jingyi didn't dare to tell the truth. She was even more jealous. She was also very angry that Lin Xiaoxia was so unreasonable. Didn't she apologize? Why couldn't she forgive her?
She thought that if she could marry Sun Qiang, she would have the same status as Lin Xiaoxia, and then she wouldn't have to be nice to her.
Thinking of this, she decided to give it a try and seduce Sun Qiang herself. If she succeeded, she would reach the top. If she failed, she would go home after a while and no one would know. Anyway, she could no longer rely on her cousin's family.
But she also knew that she couldn't break off relations with their family and had to leave a way out when doing things.
She said to Lin Xiaoxia, "I'm fine. I'm just worried that my grandma and parents will be angry when I get home. Since you guys look at me like that, I don't have the face to stay here anymore. I'll go back."
After saying that, she turned to Li Shaofen and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." After saying that, she left.
Watching Li Jingyi leave, Lu Jingshen sighed: "What on earth is this guy going to do?"
Lin Xiaoxia didn't think it was as simple as she said. This person must be in trouble, but it was not good to let her parents-in-law worry, so she said to Lu Jingshen: "Anyway, we just need to keep a distance from her in the future. Our two families are far away, and we may not be able to see her after she returns home. Don't worry, let's eat, the food is getting cold."
Lu Jingshen also didn't want to worry his parents: "Well, let's eat. I guess we won't have much contact in the future."
Lu Guojiu also came in after washing his hands. After sitting down, Lu Jingshen briefly told his family about Li Jingyi's situation.
Li Shaofen and Lu Guojiu also felt that if this person had bad intentions, they would just ignore him. Their family was different from before. Now even their brothers could see through their differences and knew the need to be tactful. Besides, there was really no need to spend so much energy on a distant relative.
After dinner, Lu Jingshen, Lu Jingyuan and Lu Guojiu went to the housing yard in the afternoon. The beams would be put up there next weekend, and it would be done soon after that.
After the exam, Lu Jingyuan was also able to help Lu Guojiu with a lot of work.
Lin Xiaoxia and Li Shaofen are at home. They are not making snacks today, so Li Shaofen is making new bedding to use when they move to a new house.
Lin Xiaoxia also helped Li Shaofen make bedding and then chatted.
In the evening, when Li Shaofen was cooking, Uncle Dong from the East Courtyard brought her a basin of sand apples.
Lin Xiaoxia was washing sand apples by the well in the yard when a quiet girl of about sixteen or seventeen stood at the door and asked, "Sister, is Lu Jingyuan home?"
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the little girl and said with a smile: "Jingyuan is not at home. He will be back in a while. Come in and wait for him."
The little girl walked up to Lin Xiaoxia with a book in her hand: "I borrowed the book from Lu Jingyuan before, come and return it to him."
Lin Xiaoxia said with wet hands: "The exam is over, you guys don't have to be busy studying anymore, come in and sit for a while."
Li Shaofen came out when she heard the conversation: "Is this the second daughter of the old Duan family?"
The little girl smiled and nodded: "Well, hello, Auntie, my name is Duan Xiuxiu, I am Lu Jingyuan's classmate, and I am here to return a book."
Li Shaofen smiled and said, "Come in and sit down. Let your sister-in-law bring you something delicious."
The little girl said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Then he followed Lin Xiaoxia into the house and said, "Sister-in-law, you see, it seems that this is not much different from us. I didn't expect that you are Lu Jingyuan's sister-in-law."
Lin Xiaoxia saw that the little girl was quite quiet and liked her very much: "I am indeed a few years younger than Brother Jingyuan, but I have reached the legal age for marriage."
"That sister-in-law is really small and pretty." Duan Xiuxiu looked at Lin Xiaoxia. She had never thought that this was Lu Jingyuan's sister-in-law.
"Thank you for the compliment. Come and sit down. I'll show you Lu Jingyuan's treasure chest." As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxia carried Lu Jingyuan's box of snacks to the edge of the kang where Duan Xiuxiu was sitting. "Take whatever you want to eat. Don't hesitate."
Duan Xiuxiu looked at the snacks and said, "Lu Jingyuan loves to eat snacks at school."
"You eat too." Then he handed the shrimp crackers to Duan Xiuxiu.
Duan Xiuxiu took it but didn't open it: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
