Lu Jiaxin smiled and explained: "The intensity of study in the third year of high school is too high for my body, but I won't be tired if I just study English. Besides, I feel bored when I have nothing to do at home every day. Learning English with others can improve my English level without being bored. It's the best of both worlds."
Lu Jiaguang asked doubtfully: "I remember that you are very good at English. You scored over 80 points in the last mock exam."
Only those who really care about you will remember even the scores of individual subjects in the mock exams. Lu Jiaxin explained: "I always scored over 70 points in English exams. I did better in the last mock exam with 81 points. The reason I lost the most points was in listening and writing. If I can improve these two weak points, I will have no problem getting 85 points in English in the future."
Lu Jiaguang was very happy. With his sister's attitude towards study, she might be able to get into a top university next year after she recovers.
As they were talking, Liao Xiangmei came in carrying a bag.
When Lu Hongjun saw her, he thought of Fan Yinuo, and immediately said with a sullen face: "Where is Fan Yinuo? It's been almost a week since Jiaxin came back, why hasn't he come to apologize to Jiaxin yet?"
Liao Xiangmei paused, but unexpectedly Lu Jiaxin spoke before her: "Dad, today is my housewarming party. I hope everyone comes happily and leaves happily."
At first, she was ready to cut off contact with Liao Xiangmei, but after getting to know her, she found that she really loved her original self. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to continue to have contact with her for the time being, but it was impossible to be as close as before.
Liao Xiangmei brought melons, peaches, chocolates and many other things, all of which were the original body's favorite foods. In addition, she also gave a jade phoenix hairpin as a housewarming gift.
The body of this jade hairpin is green and the phoenix's mouth is holding a string of green jade beads, each of which is round and translucent.
There is no woman who doesn't love jewelry. Ma Lili couldn't help but admire it and said, "It's so beautiful, Aunt Liao, where did you buy it?"
Liao Xiangmei's eyes were filled with longing: "This hairpin was given to me by your third aunt when I got married. I know Jiaxin likes jade as much as her mother does, so this is the most suitable gift for her."
She originally planned to give it to Lu Jiaxin after she married her son, but now that plan has fallen through and there is no hope. She felt bad looking at the hairpin again, so it was just right to give it back to Lu Jiaxin.
Lu Jiaxin liked the hairpin as soon as she saw it. She thought it was expensive at first, but when she heard that it was given by Lu's mother, she did not hesitate: "Thank you, Aunt Liao."
Liao Xiangmei looked at Lu Hongjun and said, "Old Lu, Xiaoxia told me that there was a necklace with the hairpin, and that necklace had 108 beads. I wonder where the jade necklace is now?"
Lu Hongjun said he didn't know.
Liao Xiangmei didn't believe her and asked, "As Xiaoxia's lover, how could you not know where Xiaoxia's jewelry went? Lu Hongjun, you didn't give all the things to Ding Jing, did you? Those are Xiaoxia's relics, they must be left to Jiaxin."
Lu Hongjun said with a complicated expression: "She bought this house without telling me. If Jiaxin hadn't told me herself, I would still be in the dark."
As the man next to her, he knew very well how much Mother Lu loved jade and jadeite, and knew that she secretly collected a lot of jade ornaments. However, he did not understand these things and was not interested in them. Seeing that the expenses were not large, he did not interfere. It is normal for people to have some hobbies, like he likes to collect stamps.
Liao Xiangmei didn't believe it and snorted coldly, "Xiaoxia was worried that you would treat Xinxin badly if you remarried, so she prepared this house for Xinxin. Facts have proved that her worry was right."
Lu Hongjun didn't like Fan Yinuo and wanted to call off the marriage after his daughter was admitted to university, but he didn't expect something went wrong halfway. Facts proved that he didn't like Fan Yinuo and that Fan Yinuo was a hopeless case: "Xiaoxia was relieved about you, but what did you do? Fan Yinuo and Zhao Siyi were secretly dating, and Jiaxin went back to her hometown alone because of this. We were almost going crazy and looking for him everywhere, but you concealed this matter and didn't tell us."
"Also, you are the person Xiaoxia trusts the most. I now have reason to suspect that Xiaoxia gave the things to you for safekeeping, and you became greedy and deliberately slandered me so that you could monopolize this batch of jewelry."
Liao Xiangmei said, "Lu Hongjun, please stop slandering me. These things are beautiful but not valuable. If I want to buy them, I can go to the Friendship Store or the Antique Market."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Jiaxin lowered her head. She felt that Lu's mother was not at ease with Liao Xiangmei, otherwise she would not have entrusted the Lu Jiaguang brothers and Mrs. Xie to help take care of the original body. Knowing that eggs should not be put in one basket, the jewelry could not be given to Liao Xiangmei.
Seeing the two quarreling, Lu Jiaguang said, "Aunt San entrusted the house to Madam Xie to look after. Will the jewelry also be given to Madam Xie for safekeeping?"
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense.
Lu Jiaxin felt that Lu's mother would not do this. In Lu's mother's mind, her daughter's safe growth was the top priority, and she would never bother the Xie family for such a small matter. But where were these jewelry? At this time, Lu Jiajie's voice came from the kitchen: "Come and light the fire, I can't handle it alone."
Mrs. Lu and Ma Lili hurried into the kitchen to help. Lu Jiaguang talked to Lu Hongjun and at the same time gave Lu Jiaxin a look to ask her to comfort Liao Xiangmei.
After receiving the message, Lu Jiaxin immediately took Liao Xiangmei to eat watermelon. Even if she was dissatisfied, today was her housewarming party, so she couldn't make a scene.
Liao Xiangmei was splashed with dirty water by Lu Hongjun for no reason and was in a bad mood. She forced a smile and said a few words to Lu Jiaxin before going back.
Not long after she left, a person pushed the door and walked in from outside.
When Lu Jiaxin saw the person coming, she asked Lu Hongjun with a gloomy face: "Did you ask her to come?"
Lu Hongjun did not ask Ding Jing to come, but Lu Jiaxin questioned him in front of so many people, which made him lose face.
Ding Jing looked around the house, and a flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting. She walked to Lu Hongjun and said with a smile: "Jia Xin, I'm here to congratulate you. You've set up your own business at such a young age, and you live in such a big house. You're probably the only one in the whole city."
Last time, when Lu Jiaxin returned to Sijiu City, she was unsure of Lu Hongjun's attitude, so she acted with some reservations. Now, she has no scruples.
Lu Jiaxin picked up a basin of blood on the ground and poured it towards Ding Jing. If she hadn't known that everyone would stop her, she would have just used a stick to beat her instead of pouring water.
The water flowed down Ding Jing's hair and cheeks; her floral dress also got wet and dripped onto the ground.
"ah……"
Smelling the fishy smell on her body, Ding Jing screamed.
Seeing that Ding Jing's slender figure was highlighted by her wet body, Lu Hongjun quickly took off his shirt and put it on her. However, the shirt was too short, so he quickly asked Ma Lili, who was standing at the kitchen door, to take off her apron and put it on Ding Jing.
