Lu Huaijiao had put it that way; a normal person would have been too embarrassed to deny it. But Li Xiaoya was not only incredibly shameless, but her sense of shame was also far beyond what a normal person could possess.
She remained deathly pale as she demanded that Lu Huaijiao produce evidence.
"Hehe, Li Xiaoya, you really are shameless." Huang Tingxiu, who had been watching the commotion without saying a word, stepped forward and looked at Li Xiaoya with a contemptuous smile in her eyes.
Li Xiaoya sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Huang Tingxiu spoke up the next second: "I happened to hear you borrowing money from Lu Zhiqing. Just last time, when you said your father fell off the machine tool."
"You're lying, Huang Tingxiu, you're lying! You can't stand me, so you're plotting to frame me with Lu Huaijiao!" Li Xiaoya pointed at Huang Tingxiu, resolutely denying it.
Huang Tingxiu scoffed.
"I'm lying? You, Li Xiaoya, are the one lying, aren't you? We're all from the same place. Your dad is a gatekeeper at a textile factory, and your mom works in the canteen. I'd like to ask, how did they fall off the machine tool and get their hands crushed by the machine?"
Huang Tingxiu's words completely exposed Li Xiaoya's lies.
By this point, no matter how much she tried to deny it, no one would believe her. And coincidentally, at that moment, another educated youth who knew Li Xiaoya stepped forward and said, "Li Xiaoya, how could you curse your parents like that? When I went back for the Spring Festival this year, I saw them living a good life. Why are you telling such lies?"
This male educated youth lived on the same street as Li Xiaoya, and their families saw each other frequently. Therefore, he knew Li Xiaoya's family situation very well.
Li Xiaoya's secrets were all exposed. She was both ashamed and angry. She shouted that they were bullying her, covered her face, and ran away.
Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue and shouted loudly at Li Xiaoya's back, "Li Xiaoya, don't forget to pay back the money!"
The matter was temporarily put to rest with Li Xiaoya running away. Gu Jianhua put away the bills and told everyone to go about their business. Lu Huaijiao was about to leave when she turned around and saw Huang Tingxiu, who was about to get busy. She frowned.
Searching her memory of her past life, Huang Tingxiu discovered that after the autumn harvest this year, she was defiled in a rice paddy by the village's scoundrel, and when she woke up, she jumped into the river...
At the time, Li Xiaoya even laughed and told her that it was Huang Tingxiu's own fault for being too promiscuous and wanting too many men, even going after men with bald heads...
As for her reaction at the time, Lu Huaijiao can't recall it now.
However, she is a grateful person, and considering that Huang Tingxiu had just spoken up for her, she could remind Huang Tingxiu to avoid this fatal calamity.
"Huang Zhiqing"
Huang Tingxiu, who was about to leave, was stopped by Lu Huaijiao.
She turned her head and looked at Lu Huaijiao. She and Lu Huaijiao were not on the same path; they were worlds apart. So even though everyone else was trying to curry favor with Lu Huaijiao, Huang Tingxiu did not.
She disdained such behavior.
She wasn't particularly happy when Lu Huaijiao called her back.
"I'm just stating what I saw; you don't need to thank me."
Lu Huaijiao blinked. What was with that cold, prophetic tone?
"I didn't mean to thank you!"
Huang Tingxiu, who had been maintaining a cold demeanor, couldn't hold back any longer.
"you……"
Lu Huaijiao chuckled sweetly, "Do you prefer Friendship brand face cream or Pechoin?"
What do you mean by that?
Huang Tingxiu subconsciously pulled her cracked hand back, staring at Lu Huaijiao warily. Because of her poor family background, Huang Tingxiu couldn't speak her mind like Lu Huaijiao.
She considers everything she does and says very carefully.
Therefore, it is normal for him to react this way to Lu Huaijiao's question.
Lu Huaijiao hummed in agreement: "You've helped me out, so let me buy you a gift. How about face cream? What brand do you like?"
"No need, no need for you to send me a gift. I didn't do anything." Huang Tingxiu didn't want to have any more dealings with Lu Huaijiao, and practically fled after saying this.
Lu Huaijiao watched Huang Tingxiu's hurried departure, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Am I scary?
This question was directed at Gu Changzheng.
But even if Gu Changzheng had ten times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to tell the truth.
"Let's go, didn't we say we were hungry and wanted to go to the state-run restaurant in the county town for braised pork?" Changing the subject is always the best way to deal with topics that are inconvenient to answer.
As expected, Lu Huaijiao's attention was quickly diverted, and she nodded.
"Oh, you brought all the meat coupons, right? I'm going to pack two pounds to bring back for my parents later."
Gu Changzheng's lips twitched slightly.
Nowadays, people eat meat by the ounce, and only once every few months. Only this little troublemaker is so generous, eating meat by the pound, and not just a pound.
"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to afford to raise your children if you spend money so lavishly?"
"How is that possible?"
Lu Huaijiao glanced at the man beside her with utter disdain: "Putting aside the fact that you are their father, even if I were to raise them myself, the money my grandmother left me would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."
In both her past and present lives, she only knew that she was rich, but she didn't know how much money she had.
Having been reborn, she naturally knew this. Because a few years later, when she returned to the city, the inheritance left by her grandmother was completely handed over to her.
It was then that she realized that even if she did nothing but earn interest and collect rent, she could still travel around without a care in the world every day.
Seeing that she so readily revealed all her secrets, Gu Changzheng felt a bit of a headache.
"Jiaojiao".
"what?"
Walking along the road, Lu Huaijiao picked wildflowers and leaves, having a great time.
Gu Changzheng looked at the girl who resembled a child and sighed softly: "Have you ever heard the saying 'Don't flaunt your wealth'?"
But you're not an outsider!
Lu Huaijiao looked up at Gu Changzheng in surprise, seemingly not understanding why he would say such a thing: "You are my man, would you covet my property?"
If it were anyone else, Lu Huaijiao might have had doubts. But since it was Gu Changzheng, Lu Huaijiao had no doubts at all.
In his past life, Gu Changzheng had an accident outside, but with his last breath, he called her and told her the password to his bankbook and the channels through which he transferred money...
How could someone like that possibly covet their own money?
Thinking of the basket of money stained with Gu Changzheng's blood that she received in her past life, Lu Huaijiao hugged his arm, feeling somewhat downcast: "Gu Changzheng, it's okay if you can't earn money, I can support you. But don't take any more risks, okay?"
She was actually sad for a very long time after he died, but she could never tell him again.
Gu Changzheng lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Huaijiao, whose mood had suddenly dropped and who seemed to be very sad and about to cry. He was a little confused.
Did she find out about my previous speculative activities?
"Jiaojiao, listen to me..."
