Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi, the mother and daughter, used the original body as a stepping stone, not only snatching away her home and fiancé, but also stepping on her to gain a good reputation. Lu Jiaxin came back this time to expose the true colors of Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi and clear the original body of those unwarranted stigmas.
Lu Jiaxin said to everyone, "I swore to my mother that I would go to college in the future. So even though I was betrayed and sprained my foot, I quickly got myself ready for the college entrance examination. But I didn't expect to have a stomachache not long after the exam started, and my foot started to hurt again during math class in the afternoon."
After saying this, she stared at Ding Jing and said, "My fiancé betrayed me, and I had stomachache and leg pain during the college entrance examination. At that time, I just felt that I was unlucky. But when I was lying on the hospital bed after the injury and recalled these things, I suddenly found something wrong. Zhao Siyi and Fan Yinuo have been dating for more than half a year, and they have been hiding it well. Why did I find out two days before the college entrance examination?"
"Also, I have always been in good health. I rarely get sick and have never had stomachaches. But that day I had unbearable stomach pain."
After saying that, she stared at Ding Jing and said, "It was you, it must have been you who instructed Zhao Siyi to deliberately speak loudly when answering the phone so that I would notice. Your purpose was to disrupt my thoughts and prevent me from taking the college entrance examination. As a result, you found that I was not affected, so you tampered with the food, causing me to have a stomachache during the exam and unable to finish the test."
Although the original body had a bad temper and was also spoiled, he had very good grades because he promised Lu's mother that he would go to college. In the last mock exam, he ranked third in the liberal arts department of the whole school. Zhao Siyi ranked more than 30th, so their grades were not comparable.
Ding Jing was shocked. Lu Jiaxin used to have a bad temper. She would yell and scream when she was not happy. Sometimes she would quarrel with Lao Lu. But she was just a paper tiger at best. But now Lu Jiaxin has become a vicious wolf that can bite people to death.
The crowd was in an uproar. If this was true, then Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi were truly vicious.
Ding Jing said with a sad face: "Jia Xin, I love you like my own daughter, and Si Yi treats you like her own sister. How can you slander us like this?"
Seeing Ding Jing staggering and looking like she was about to faint, Lu Jiaxin sneered and said, "You said I slandered you. Then you swear a solemn oath that if Fan Yinuo gets together with Zhao Siyi, she will die alone in this life. After she dies, no one will collect her body, and it will be thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wild dogs."
The stomachache and foot pain during the exam were fake, but it was true that the original body failed the college entrance examination because he was betrayed and couldn't sort out his mood, which affected his performance.
Ding Jing's eyes were red with anger, and she wanted to strangle Lu Jiaxin to death. Why didn't the trafficker sell her to the deep mountains and old forests? Why did he let her escape? Seeing that she didn't swear a poisonous oath, what else did everyone understand?
Lu Jiaxin continued: "Ding Jing, can you explain why the passbook my mother left and all the valuables in the house are gone?"
The house was bought by Lu's mother without Lu's father's knowledge, but Lu's father knew about the passbook and promised Lu's mother to deposit 500 yuan into it every year. He was afraid that the original body would squander money at a young age, so the original body kept the passbook, but the seal for withdrawing money was kept by Lu's father.
In the four years since Lu's mother passed away, Lu's father has kept his promise to deposit 500 yuan into the account every year, plus the New Year's money from the original body. The accumulated amount is considerable.
Ding Jing suppressed her anger and said in a hoarse voice: "The passbook and the valuables in your room were put away by your father..."
Lu Jiaxin interrupted her and asked, "I have a whole closet of clothes and more than 20 pairs of shoes, but now there are only a few pairs of worn socks and two pieces of torn clothes left. It can't be that my dad also put away all the clothes, shoes and socks, right?"
Aunt Xue clapped her hands and said, "Ding Jing, I remember your niece came here five days ago. She came with empty hands, and left with a suitcase and a big bag."
Aunt Xue said, "Ding Jing, so what Jiaxin said is true? Did you deliberately let her know about your daughter's affair with her fiancé before the exam, and deliberately tampered with her food to make her fail the exam?"
Lu Jiaxin was very satisfied. Aunt Xue was a well-known troublemaker in the family compound, but now she was her strong assistant. Well, very good.
How could Ding Jing admit it? She said, "During the three days of the exam, Siyi ate the same food as her. I can't possibly harm my own daughter, right?"
Aunt Xue pressed on: "What about your daughter and the boy from the Fan family?"
Ding Jing said with red eyes: "There must be some misunderstanding here: when Siyi comes back, I will make sure she explains it to Jiaxin."
Lu Jiaxin would not do half and leave the other half. Since she had started, she would never let this mother and daughter turn the tables. "Misunderstanding? Two years ago, I had a bad cold and was lying in bed. Director Fang's mother happened to come to borrow something, and you deliberately washed my underwear in front of her. Afterwards, the family compound spread the rumor that I was so lazy that I even let my stepmother wash my underwear. What did you tell my dad at the time? You said Director Fang's mother misunderstood."
Director Fang's mother is a well-known gossiper in the staff housing complex, and her gossip level is second only to Aunt Xue.
"And last year, your good niece ran into my room and rummaged around. Not only did she break my music box, she also stole more than 30 yuan and a Hetian jade peace locket from my drawer. I came back and asked her to return the money and things. Not only did she not return the money and things, my dad scolded me, and then people in the family compound said I was overbearing and rude."
"Ding Jing, before you came in, everyone praised me for being sensible and filial. But after you came in, all kinds of misunderstandings started. Then you and Zhao Siyi became diligent and kind stepmothers and stepsisters, while I became a hot-tempered, lazy, arrogant and unreasonable young lady."
Before Ding Jing came in, she was criticized for being spoiled. But for a girl in her teens, with a rich family and an only child, it was normal for her to be a little spoiled.
Aunt Xue was very excited and shouted, "I told you long ago that she was pretending. There is no good stepmother like her. But you didn't believe me. Now you know I was right."
Lu Jiaxin felt that this statement was too absolute. There were good stepmothers in the world, but the ratio was relatively low.
Most of the people present agreed with Aunt Xue's words, but they didn't know Lu Hongjun's attitude so they didn't respond.
Ding Jing knew that the more she explained, the less clear it became. She choked up and said, "Jia Xin, I know you've suffered a lot outside for more than a month, but you can't slander me and Si Yi like this."
Lu Jiaxin couldn't argue with her. If she did, she would be at a disadvantage. "You've been pretending for four years. Aren't you tired? I think it's an eyesore."
