"Your family of five can finally reunite inside!"
"No...that's not it, it's not like that..."
Lu Sisi struggled, unwilling to be taken away like this.
Even though she managed to get a few neighbors to open their doors, they didn't dare to say anything when they saw the person holding Lu Sisi.
In addition, the Zhao family is not well-liked here.
Especially in the month or so since Lu Sisi awakened her memories of her past life and started making steamed buns with spiritual spring water, the Zhao family felt they had found a cash cow, and they looked down on the others in the compound even more.
From top to bottom, from old to young, all they exuded was arrogance and rudeness.
Therefore, when such people get into trouble, no one will speak up for them.
No matter how unwilling Lu Sisi was, she had been captured and there was nothing she could do!
In the interrogation room of the Revolutionary Committee, Lu Sisi saw the Zhao family of four, all of them together, not one missing.
Those guys seemed to have confessed. The moment they saw Lu Sisi come in, they all turned their attention to her and accused her of making the steamed buns, claiming they were just helping to sell them.
"Comrades, the person you're looking for is her. She's completely corrupt; she's trying to undermine socialism!"
Qin Yanping spoke first.
When faced with danger, his own aunt was the first one to push him out of danger?
Lu Sisi glared at Qin Yanping with bloodshot eyes, wishing she could rush up and tear her old face off! When they were using her to make money, no one said she was rotten, but now that she's been arrested, they're throwing all the blame on her?
How could they be so optimistic?
Qin Yanping wasn't the only one having such wishful thinking; other members of the Zhao family did too.
After Qin Yanping spoke, Zhao Quan, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Fangfang, the father and son/daughter, started talking non-stop like machine guns.
All the words were accusations against Lu Sisi, claiming that Lu Sisi had instigated them to do it and that Lu Sisi had threatened them to do wrong.
"Comrades, you must investigate this thoroughly! Lu Sisi is just our adopted daughter. Her parents are powerful and influential. We dare not refuse to do the work she asks us to do!"
Zhao Quan spoke.
Zhao Fangfang chimed in, "Lu Sisi is the worst. She was supposed to be sent to the countryside, but she went to her father to change her name. She impersonated Lu Huaijiao and signed up to go to the countryside, successfully getting Lu Huaijiao to go instead. She stayed in the city."
"I've always been curious about why she stayed in the city, but now I realize she's staying to undermine socialism!"
The Zhao family truly lives up to their reputation as steamed bun sellers.
These people are all incredibly eloquent.
Lu Sisi was furious with their back-and-forth banter.
Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists. Good, very good, excellent! If the Zhao family is heartless, then they shouldn't blame her for being unjust. In the end, who will die? We'll see!
The Revolutionary Committee members were dumbfounded, never expecting that Lu Sisi, a young girl, would have such great abilities.
Who exactly is her biological father?
"Oh, you guys don't know? This is the illegitimate daughter of Lu Zhengde, the deputy director of the power supply station. Lu Zhengde was recently arrested and investigated for having an extramarital affair and having a child with the nanny behind his wife's back. This Lu Sisi is their daughter."
Someone in the Revolutionary Committee recognized Lu Sisi.
Knowing the secret behind it, he began to explain it to his other colleagues.
Upon hearing this, the others exclaimed, "Wow, Lu Sisi's biological father is really a capable man!"
After all, in Shanghai, there should be no one who hasn't heard of the once incredibly wealthy Su family, and how the only daughter of the Su family's matriarch, Old Madam Qiao, married a poor young man.
That poor young man was Lu Zhengde...
A poor country boy who was struggling to make ends meet suddenly became the son-in-law of one of the richest families in Shanghai. This kind of life is something that countless people envy and can't even dream of.
Who would have thought that he would be having an affair with the nanny behind his wife's back...
This level of skill is something most people couldn't achieve.
After learning Lu Sisi's true identity, everyone looked at her with even more disdain.
"As expected of the daughter of an immoral person, she's rotten to the core."
"Of course, she must have learned that from her parents!"
"How embarrassing!"
Everyone chimed in with their own words, saying things that Lu Sisi really didn't want to hear, which only added fuel to the fire in her heart.
Her hands clenched tightly at her sides, and she was on the verge of exploding with emotion.
However, since she is the heroine chosen by Heaven, she shouldn't be unable to resolve such a small problem.
So long after those people said those nasty things, Lu Sisi, who had been hanging her head, finally looked up, her eyes red and brimming with tears, on the verge of sobbing.
She bit her lip slightly, and before she could even open her mouth, tears fell down with a thud.
"Uncles, elder brothers, do you really believe what they say? How could a weak woman like me, living under someone else's roof, possibly threaten their entire family?"
"Furthermore, given my less-than-honorable birth, I usually... don't even dare to speak loudly. How could I possibly, how could I possibly dare to do something like speculation and profiteering?"
As mentioned before, Lu Sisi's appearance is absolutely no match for Lu Huaijiao's.
However, thanks to her frequent use of the spiritual spring water to wash her face, her skin became fair and tender, and her otherwise ordinary features became pitiful because of her excellent acting skills.
