"Xue Mao, let's go upstairs."
Father Lu was the general manager of the department store. As the top executive, he was allocated a large house of 80 square meters, and he chose the third floor. As an only child, I had my own room since I was a child. There were many people in the family compound who had 8 or 9 people squeezed into a house of 30 or 40 square meters. I don't know how much I envied me for this alone.
Aunt Zhao was left speechless by Lu Jiaxin's words. She wanted to explain, but Lu Jiaxin didn't even look at her.
She had no choice but to change the subject and asked curiously, "Jia Xin, who is this child?"
Lu Jiaxin said with a bad look on her face: "Aunt Zhao, stop staring at me. What you should do now is to quickly tell that vicious woman that I'm back. If it's too late, don't even think about getting any benefits from that woman next time."
Originally, everyone's attention was on how Ding Jing caused Lu Jiaxin to fail the college entrance examination. When these words came out, everyone looked at Aunt Zhao in surprise.
Someone who didn't get along with Ding Jing deliberately said, "Sister Zhao, Jia Xin said that you and the manager's wife were very intimate. Can you tell us quietly how Ding Jing plotted against Jia Xin?"
Aunt Zhao's face changed immediately when she heard this: "Jia Xin was frightened by the kidnapper and is talking nonsense. Why are you guys talking nonsense too?"
"Jia Xin, please don't talk nonsense. I was just concerned about you."
Lu Jiaxin sneered and said, "Whether it is nonsense or not, you know, I know, Ding Jing knows, and God knows too."
Aunt Zhao naturally refused to admit it.
Lu Jiaxin knew that the old woman would never admit that she was Ding Jing's lackey, so she didn't care: "Aunt Zhao, I was ignorant before and was fooled by you. In the future, I will get it back with interest."
Aunt Zhao looked at her sharp eyes and for some reason, she felt uneasy.
Lu Jiaxin didn't care what she thought, and turned around to explain the boy's identity to everyone: "His name is Xue Mao. He saved me when I was unconscious. Otherwise, my grave would be covered with tall grass by now."
When she woke up, she was dizzy and weak due to excessive blood loss, and it happened to be raining heavily at the time. If she hadn't met Xue Mao who came out to look for food, she might have died again.
In the family compound, Auntie Black Mole and Auntie Zhao were the most at odds with each other. Although she had been criticized by Lu Jiaxin before, she had done nothing wrong. Now that she saw Auntie Zhao being criticized so much that she dared not speak, she was very happy and looked at Lu Jiaxin with special favor.
Auntie Black Mole said, "Jia Xin, how can you be so careless? If you knew your stepmother had bad intentions towards you, you should have said it earlier. With your father protecting her, how could she dare to plot against you?"
"Also, after you regain your memory, you should call your father first and ask him to pick you up in the ancient capital. You've suffered a loss once, so you should be more careful next time!"
Seeing her preaching tone, Lu Jiaxin was disgusted, but she was not her original self and would not be stupid enough to confront Aunt Xue. This would give some people what they wanted.
The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile, and then she said something even more creepy: "I'm going to call my dad, that's when I really can't come back."
After saying that, he took Xue Mao upstairs without caring about everyone's shocked expressions. Today's gossip was enough, which should be able to satisfy the gossipy aunties in the staff quarters.
When she reached the third floor, Lu Jiaxin saw that the door was locked. Without hesitation, she took out a brick from her bag and smashed it at the lock.
The few people who came upstairs were stunned when they saw this scene.
Although Lu Jiaxin used to be willful and pretentious, she was still a delicate girl. How come she has become so tough now?
Aunt Zhao, who had followed, thought of the kindness Ding Jing had given her in the past, so she had no choice but to step forward and hold her back, saying, "Child, there's no need to rush to get home. Your Aunt Ding will be back soon after buying groceries."
Lu Jiaxin was really disgusted. This old woman was as sticky as taffy and could not be shaken off. She was simply asking for death.
Since she was shameless, she simply shook Aunt Zhao off. Aunt Zhao took two steps back without warning, but fortunately there were many people behind her to catch her, otherwise she would definitely fall to the ground.
Lu Jiaxin looked at her coldly while she touched her lower back and cried out in pain, and said, "Stop pretending. The little benefit Ding Jing gave you is not worth your hard work."
Aunt Zhao endured the pain and said, "Jia Xin, Ding Jing and I have nothing to do with each other, so stop talking nonsense, kid."
Lu Jiaxin sneered and said, "You have nothing to do with Ding Jing. I am the one who slandered you. Do you want me to tell everyone everything you took?"
In fact, the original person didn't know, but people who had done something wrong could not resist being deceived.
Aunt Zhao's face turned pale and blue, and she regretted following him.
Lu Jiaxin looked at the people gathered at the door and said fiercely, "Aunts and sisters-in-law, you can also bear witness for me. Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi ruined my future and almost killed me. They are my enemies, sworn enemies."
Zhao Siyi is Ding Jing's daughter. Although the original body ran away from home on her own initiative, Zhao Siyi was the culprit. If she hadn't caused the original body to be stimulated before the college entrance examination, with the original body's grades, it would not be a problem for her to enter a university in the city.
The original body was gone, and the mother and daughter owed her a life. She couldn't kill the mother and daughter to avenge the original body, but they would never have a peaceful life in the future.
Xue Mao walked forward and took the brick from Lu Jiaxin's hand. Everyone thought that this young man was quite sensible, but they didn't expect him to continue smashing with the brick. The boy was very strong, and the lock loosened after a few hits.
Lu Jiaxin was very satisfied.
As soon as the lock was broken, Lu Jiaxin pushed the door open and walked in. After Xue Mao entered the room, she locked the door and blocked everyone out. As for what the people outside thought, she didn't care at all.
Xue Mao stood in the middle of the living room, looking at the clean and tidy house and the dazzling array of furniture, and felt that his eyes were not enough.
He pointed at the square iron lump on the cabinet and asked in confusion, "Sister Xin, why is your TV bigger than others?"
Lu Jiaxin was turning on the electric fan. When she heard this, she turned around and said, "This is a color TV."
After turning on the electric fan, she took out two bottles of soda from the refrigerator. She opened one and handed it to Xue Mao, and opened the remaining bottle for herself. It was late summer and early autumn, and it was so hot that she was almost smoking. After drinking a bottle of ice soda, she could only say one word: refreshing.
Xue Mao took the soda but didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he looked at the refrigerator carefully: "Sister Xin, this is the refrigerator? It looks really nice."
Lu Jiaxin thought the refrigerator was ugly, but it was still a rare commodity, and only the wealthy could afford it. Not only was it expensive, but the electricity bill was also high. She smiled and said, "There's still a lot of soda in the refrigerator, so you can drink it."
Xue Mao finished a bottle of soda, then asked worriedly, "Sister Xin, what if your dad gets angry if he finds out about what you just said?"
When he saw what Lu Jiaxin was wearing that rainy night, he knew she was from a wealthy family. After all, ordinary people couldn't afford a dress like that. It turned out that Sister Xin's family was richer than he thought.
Lu Jiaxin said nonchalantly, "If you're angry, you can just get angry. The worst that can happen is that we turn against each other. I've survived being helpless in the ancient capital, so I won't end up living on the streets if I return to the old city."
"Sister, where are we going to live if we are kicked out?"
As a person who once slept on the streets and was often driven away, Xue Mao fears the most that he will be wandering around without a fixed place to live.
"Don't worry, there is a place to stay."
Xue Mao was relieved when he heard this. They didn't have to worry about having no money as they had a place to live. They knew how to make snacks and could continue to sell them. The money they earned was more than enough to support the two of them.
Lu Jiaxin put the empty bottle of soda on the table, picked up the phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected, and she recognized Lu Hongjun's voice: "It's me, I'm back, I'm at home now."
She hung up the phone without waiting for Lu Hongjun to speak, and then quickly dialed another number. This time the phone rang for a long time before it was connected.
Lu Jiaxin heard a strange voice, and she said, "I'm looking for Lu Jiaguang."
Lu Jiaguang was the eldest cousin of the original body, and the two were 28 years apart in age. He joined the army at the age of 18. At that time, being a soldier was one of the few options for farmers' children, and many people were eager to join. It was also with the help of Lu Hongjun that he finally got his wish.
After joining the army, he was brave and developed very well in the army, but unfortunately he was injured during a mission at the age of 35 and could not continue to stay in the army. At that time, Lu's father was targeted and did not dare to help. It was the original owner's mother who asked for help, and he was able to enter the Railway Bureau of the Forty-Nine City.
Lu Jiaguang was very grateful to the original owner's mother, so he treated this little cousin of the original body like a daughter. If his own children had something, he would definitely prepare a portion for the original body.
The person who answered the phone was a secretary. Upon hearing the name of a young girl, she said politely, "Girl, our webmaster is in a meeting. If you have anything to say, please leave a message. I will pass it on to the webmaster after the meeting."
Lu Jiaxin thought this secretary was pretty good, so she didn't play dumb and said, "I'm Lu Jiaxin. Please tell my brother that I'm waiting for him at home."
According to the original body's memory, this cousin loved her very much. Now Lu Jiaxin needs someone to support her, and Lu Jiaguang is naturally the first choice.
Secretary Li was startled when he heard Lu Jiaxin introduce herself. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Lu, Miss Lu, where are you now?"
When they found out that Lu Jiaxin was missing, the Lu family mobilized all their connections to find her. They found out that she had bought a ticket to go back to her hometown and called the police. The police analyzed that she was most likely abducted by human traffickers. Everyone thought that she was in danger, and Lu Hongjun had given up the search, but Lu Jiaguang was the only one who was still looking.
Hearing the secretary's anxious voice, Lu Jiaxin felt a little warm in her heart. Subordinates are always anxious about what their leaders are anxious about. Lu Hongjun, as a father, is not a good person, but this cousin is really good.
Lu Jiaxin said briskly: "I'm back and I'm at home now."
Secretary Li hurriedly said, "Ms. Lu, please don't hang up. I'll go call the stationmaster now. Miss Lu, please don't hang up. Three minutes, no, two minutes at most will be enough."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for Big Brother to not hang up the phone."
