Many children in the department store go to the same school as Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng. Two days later, a colleague asked Ma Lili, "I heard that Jiaxin made a lot of money and bought new clothes for you all."

Ma Lili had already made an excuse with Lu Jiaguang and the others, saying, "She went to Pengcheng to do business, and she also asked Jiajie to go with her. But she was just a kid, how could she know how to do business? Now, she got ripped off as soon as she got to Pengcheng."

"Got tricked? What happened?"

Ma Lili said: "She thought the current shoe styles were not good-looking, and thought that making a batch of beautiful shoes would definitely sell well, so she hurriedly ordered a batch of leather when she arrived in Pengcheng. Jiajie went to receive the goods and found that the factory sent them artificial leather shoes, but she had paid the price for lambskin. When she contacted them, the factory said that the contract stated leather, and did not specify whether it was lambskin or artificial leather."

"The girl was so angry when she found out she was cheated that she fell ill. She took a week to recover. She knew business wasn't going to be that good, so she came back honestly."

Zheng Panlan smacked her lips and asked, "How much money was she cheated out of?" When she heard that she was cheated out of more than 30,000 yuan, she took a deep breath and felt that this was a profound lesson. She deliberately said, "Manager Lu really dotes on his child. He actually gave his daughter so much money."

Ma Lili smiled and said, "We all know how much my uncle earns. He doesn't have that much money to give her. Besides, that woman is still the boss now. Not to mention 20,000, even 2,000 is impossible."

On the night she came back, Lu Jiaxin gave her 3,000 yuan. Coupled with Lu Jiaxin's generosity, she tipped the scales in Lu Jiaxin's favor.

Zheng Panlan said: "If it wasn't given by Manager Lu, then where did it come from?"

Regarding the rumors, Lu Jiaguang thought it was better to disperse them than to block them. Ma Lili said: "My sister found an ancient painting in the ancient capital, and she was quick-witted and ran to Guangzhou to sell it to a rich kid in Hong Kong for 50,000 yuan."

It only said 50,000, but didn't say it was 50,000 green coins, so everyone would subconsciously think it was Chinese currency.

"Lu Jiaxin really sold a painting for 50,000 yuan. I thought it was a rumor."

Ma Lili said, "It's true. She was cheated out of more than 30,000 yuan, and she spent several thousand yuan. She probably doesn't even have 10,000 yuan left."

Ten or twenty thousand is a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing for those who are rich and powerful. No one dares to make a move on her because they know she has a backer. But if she is worth hundreds of thousands, it is different.

Zheng Panlan asked: "She's back, why hasn't your man come back?"

Ma Lili said: "Jia Xin met someone from the Su family in the hotel. They are the maternal family of the child that my third aunt saved. The Su family opened a shoe factory and an electronics factory. Jia Xin went to find them. Now my husband and the few people he brought are working in the Su family shoe factory."

All the shoes have been bought by Su Heyuan, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.

Zheng Panlan felt that Lu Jiajie was really lucky to be able to stay in Yangcheng. "How much is the salary?"

"Two hundred a month, food and lodging included, and if you do well, there's a bonus at the end of the year."

Zheng Panlan felt that 200 yuan a month was not too much to go to Yangcheng. She pushed Ma Lili and said in a low voice, "Aren't you short of money to buy a house? Jiaxin is so rich, why don't you borrow some from her?"

Ma Lili smiled brightly: "Jia Xin knew that we didn't have enough money to buy a house, so she told me the same day she came back that if we needed money to buy a house, we should tell her."

Zheng Panlan was so envious that she wished she had a sister like this!

In order to prevent everyone from taking advantage of Lu Jiaxin, she said, "My husband's eldest cousin said that this girl spends money lavishly and has no restraint. Yesterday, he forced her to deposit the money into the bank. He will keep the passbook and give her 100 yuan a month for living expenses in the future."

Zheng Panlan thought that was the right thing to do. This kid spent money like water, and if the adults didn't take care of him, he would spend it all in less than a year.

In the afternoon, Ma Lili was called into Lu Hongjun's office and asked, "Why did you tell others that Jiaxin earned 50,000 yuan from selling paintings?"

It was not spread like this outside. It was Sister Ma who heard that Lu Jiaxin sold paintings at a sky-high price. She went home to get something two days ago and chased her to ask. She said that this was true and that it was all luck, but she didn't expect Sister Ma to say such shocking words. She was so angry that she had a fight with Sister Ma, but she was also scared in her heart. After returning home, she immediately called Lu Jiaguang to ask about it. Fortunately, the ancient painting that Jiaxin sold was to the grandson of the patriotic businessman Mr. Nie, and it was not a national treasure.

Lu Hongjun's face immediately darkened: "Who spread the rumor?"

If it was before, Ma Lili would definitely say she didn’t know, but now her mindset has changed: “Jia Xin only told my eldest brother and Jia Jie about this matter. My eldest sister-in-law and I didn’t reveal a word to the outside world. We also feel it’s strange that it got out.”

Although Lu Jiaguang said that it was Ding Jing who spread the rumor, it was just his inference and he had no definite evidence.

Lu Hongjun paused and said, "Don't tell Jiaxin about this."

Ma Lili refused to agree: "Uncle San, Jiaxin already knows about it. The person who spread the rumor wanted to label Jiaxin a traitor. If this had happened a few years ago, she would have been dead."

She deliberately provoked Lu Hongjun, but she didn't tell Lu Jiaxin at all. Her sister's words let Jiaxin know that she had no face.

Lu Hongjun felt a tightness in his chest: "Get out!"

Lu Hongjun got off work early that day. Ding Jing was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she came out with a smile: "Why are you back so early today?"

Lu Hongjun threw the briefcase on the sofa and asked, "Did you tell others about Jiaxin selling her paintings?"

Ding Jing wanted to deny it, but seeing his gloomy face, she changed her words: "I didn't tell anyone else, I only mentioned it to my sister-in-law. Red Army, old items are so valuable, let's ask someone to collect a few!"

“Pah…”

A slap on the face stunned Ding Jing. She didn't come to her senses until her face was burning with pain: "Lu Hongjun, what are you doing?"

Lu Hongjun was furious and cursed: "Ding Jing, you don't get along with Jia Xin, and she has moved out now. Why do you still want to destroy her like this?"

If Jia Xin was really accused of being a traitor, could he, as her father, escape the criticism? Definitely not. This time, Ding Jing had crossed his bottom line.

Knowing the whole story, Ding Jing burst into tears: "I didn't, I just envied Jiaxin's good luck and told my sister-in-law about it. Lao Lu, I'm your wife, how can I be okay if you get hurt by someone!"

Lu Hongjun believed this: "Why did you tell your family about this family matter? They hate Jiaxin to the core."

That day, Jiaxin asked the Ding family to pay 3,000 yuan, otherwise she would call the police. In the end, the Ding family paid the money. So this rumor was most likely spread by them.

Even though Ding Jing denied it, Lu Hongjun still believed that this family had spread the news on purpose.

Ding Jing knew his temper. If he decided on this matter, he would probably take action against her family. She could only say, "Hongjun, I paid for the 3,000 yuan. It was my own private money."

Some readers said that Lu Jiajie is like a child who has not been weaned. This is true. He would go to Lu Hongjun or Lu Jiaguang when he has something to do. This is already a hint. The heroine discovered his shortcomings, so she avoided him for important matters, but now she is too weak to rely on him. As for Ding Jing, the heroine is now powerful and will definitely not let her go.
