Chapter 238 There's nothing of yours here
As usual, Qin's mother wanted to blame Qin Jiaojiao, but Qin's father glared at her and she swallowed her words unwillingly.
Lu Shiman held Qin Jiaojiao's hand tightly and comforted her softly: "It's okay, you have me."
Qin Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and blinked quickly to force back the tears: "Let's go, take our treasure and go."
The two of them walked up the stairs to the second floor and stood at the door of Qin Jiaojiao's room.
She forced herself to suppress the sourness in her throat. She had not returned for many years. When she learned that the man Qin Fangfei did not want to marry was marrying her, she ran away.
The Qin family has never given her any money over the years, and she relies entirely on the trust fund given by the family when she was born.
Before Qin Fangfei came to their home, she was also loved, and her memory still retained the warmth of her father's hands holding her while she picked flowers.
But later...
Qin Jiaojiao pushed open the door of her room and froze when she looked inside. She didn't even notice the dull sound her lower back made when it hit the door frame.
The room has been completely changed and has lost its original appearance. It has been converted into a studio.
Several industrial sewing machines cast shadows by the windows, and her favorite lace curtains have been transformed into gray blackout fabric with UV protection.
Inside are all Qin Fangfei's things.
Lu Shiman followed her gaze, and the knuckles of his fingers, which were holding onto the door frame, turned white.
The sofa where I cried with Qin Jiaojiao in my memory is gone. Now there is a three-meter-high stainless steel clothes rack in its place.
The carpet they bought when they traveled together is gone, and the bed they slept on countless times while chatting about gossip, the future, and their pains is gone too.
All the memories related to the original owner and Qin Jiaojiao were gone.
Even the wallpaper that she accidentally scratched was replaced, and the newly pasted beige wall covering was as smooth as a hotel room that had never been lived in.
Qin Jiaojiao's tears quickly gathered in her eyes. She hurried in and searched for the box that was extremely important to her.
I searched the entire room, but didn't see anything that belonged to her.
"Jiaojiao." Lu Shiman reached out to pull her, but only caught her flying hair, and a wave of heartache spread.
"It must be placed somewhere, for sure. I'll look for it somewhere else." Qin Jiaojiao held back her tears, her voice choked as she ran out of the room and searched the utility room and the attic.
Lu Shiman followed her not too far away.
She searched everywhere she could, but found nothing.
Qin Jiaojiao clenched her fists, and the diamond wedding ring dug into the tender flesh of her palm, causing severe pain. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
Rushing downstairs, she looked at the three of them and yelled, "Where are my things? Where are the things in my room?"
Mother Qin glanced at her, her delicately painted eyebrows breaking in the wrinkles on her forehead. She said lightly, "Throw it away."
"Why are you throwing things at me? Why are you touching my room?" Qin Jiaojiao grabbed the umbrella stand at the entrance and slammed it back into its original place. She was about to collapse.
She knew her parents favored her cousin, but she always believed that they still had her in their hearts. After all, she was their daughter. Even if they didn't like her now, they would in the future...
But what she saw today broke her heart.
They have no room for themselves, not even a room.
"You're not coming back to live here, so it's a waste for you to stay there. Fangfei needs a studio, so what's wrong with using your room?" Mother Qin didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Where are my things? Where are my things?" Qin Jiaojiao yelled again. The veins on her temples throbbed with her heartbeat. She could no longer control her tears, which flowed down her cheeks and gathered at her chin into transparent drops that fell to the ground.
"Jiaojiao, you didn't say you wanted those things. The workers just threw them away as trash during the renovation."
"Calm down. You won't be able to get it back no matter how much you yell. Don't get hurt over some scraps."
Qin's father's tone was gentle, as if he was comforting Qin Jiaojiao, but every word he said was angering Qin Jiaojiao.
Qin Jiaojiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking and tears were falling. She was so emotional that she couldn't say a word.
Qin Fangfei clutched her stomach and glared at the two of them with resentment: "It's all burned. You can't find it even if you want to."
"There's nothing of yours here."
Her words made Qin Jiaojiao lose her mind. She screamed and started smashing things in the villa frantically.
"My things are gone, so don't even think about keeping yours."
She pushed the antique display cabinet over with force, and the porcelain ornaments on it fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Lu Shiman didn't say anything and accompanied her to smash everything they could see.
Father Qin looked at his collection being smashed, veins bulged on his forehead, and he was on the verge of anger.
"That's enough. Look at what you look like now. You're like a shrew. You don't look like a daughter of a wealthy family at all."
Mother Qin looked at Qin Jiaojiao with disgust: "We are both from the Qin family. Look at yourself and then look at your cousin."
"I taught them both, why are they so different? They're definitely not blood..."
"Cough!" Qin's father coughed and interrupted Qin's mother.
Mother Qin's expression changed slightly and she immediately shut up, looking at Qin Jiaojiao: "After so many years, you've raised an ungrateful person."
Qin Jiaojiao lost her mind, but Lu Shiman did not. She keenly caught what Qin's mother said.
I had some vague guesses in my mind.
After Qin Jiaojiao finished smashing the things, she felt much better. She looked at her parents with red eyes and said, "From now on, I, Qin Jiaojiao, will completely sever all ties with you."
Her heart ached, and she closed her eyes: "In this life, we will never see each other again, whether dead or alive!"
After saying that, without waiting for their reaction, he pulled Lu Shiman and rushed out of the home where he had lived for more than ten years.
Lu Shiman was worried about her driving, so he asked her to sit in the passenger seat and he sat in the driver's seat.
The sports car drove away from the Qin family villa. Qin Jiaojiao kept her eyes on the car window without saying a word.
The car passed an artificial lake, and the sunlight cast broken golden scales on the lake surface.
Qin Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Manman, stop the car."
Lu Shiman pulled the car over and accompanied Qin Jiaojiao out of the car.
Qin Jiaojiao suppressed her emotions, walked to the lake, looked back at Lu Shiman, and forced a smile.
"Do you remember? In third grade, you were beaten to tears by Lin Yanxin, and I was scolded by them. We stood here and swore that we would make them pay the price and not let them have a good ending."
Lu Shiman felt a sore nose and tears blurred his vision.
"Manman, they won't have a good ending, but why does my heart hurt so much?" Qin Jiaojiao sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
But the more she wiped, the more tears flowed.
"Manman, it hurts here, why?" Qin Jiaojiao covered her chest, her eyes full of confusion and pain.
Hearing her words, Lu Shiman could no longer hold back, tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed and hugged Qin Jiaojiao: "Don't cry, you cry and it hurts me so much."
Behind the two of them, the reeds were blown into tiny silver waves by the lake breeze.
The bodyguards sent by Huo Beiyan and Ji Linshen to protect them secretly dialed the two people's phone numbers in silence.
