Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Uninvited

 Sister-in-law Lu heard that Lu Jiaxin wanted to hire an English tutor, and she was a little worried that Lu Jiaxin's health would not be able to bear it. As a nurse, she knew very well that people in situations like Lu Jiaxin's had to take a good rest and not get hurt.

Lu Jiaxin explained with a smile: “My body can't bear the intense study in the third year of high school, but I won't be tired just by learning English. Besides, I'm bored at home with nothing to do every day. Learning English with others can improve my English level without being boring. It's the best of both worlds.”

Lu Jiaguang asked doubtfully: "I remember that you are very good at English. You scored more than 80 points in the last mock test."

Only people who really care about you will even remember the single subject scores of the mock exams. Lu Jiaxin explained: "Every time I take an English test, my score is over 70. The last mock test was better, with a score of 81. The areas where I lose the most points are listening and writing. If I learn these two weak areas well, From now on, it will be no problem if your English is 85 and above."

Lu Jiaguang is very happy. With his sister's attitude towards learning, she may be able to repeat her studies at a top university next year after her health recovers.

As he was talking, Liao Xiangmei walked in with a bag of things.

Lu Hongjun thought of Fan Yinuo when he saw her, and said with a face: "Where's Fan Yinuo? It's been almost a week since Jia Xin came back, why hasn't he come over to apologize to Jia Xin?"

Liao Xiangmei paused, but Lu Jiaxin spoke before her: "Dad, today is my housewarming party. I hope everyone comes happily and returns happily."

 At first, she was prepared to cut off contact with Liao Xiangmei, but after contacting her, she found that she really loved her. After weighing the situation, she decided to continue the relationship 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 she likes to eat. In addition, she also gave an emerald crested crest as a housewarming gift.

This jade hairpin has a shiny green body, and the phoenix's beak also holds a string of green jade beads. These beads are round and translucent.

There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry. When Ma Lili saw it, she couldn't help but admired it: "It's so beautiful, Aunt Liao, where did you buy it?"

Liao Xiangmei's eyes were full of longing: "This step was given to me by Aunt Qi when I got married. I know that Jia Xin likes jade as much as her mother, so this is the most suitable thing to give to her."

Originally, she planned to wait until Lu Jiaxin got married to her son before giving it to her, but now there is no hope of it happening. Seeing this step again made her feel uncomfortable, so it was just right to send it back to Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaxin fell in love with the hairpin as soon as she saw it. She thought it was expensive at first, but when she heard that it was from Lu's mother, she didn't hesitate: “Thank you, Aunt Liao.”

Liao Xiangmei looked at Lu Hongjun and said, "Lao Lu, Xiaoxia told me that along with this hairpin is a necklace with one hundred and eight beads. I wonder where the jade necklace is now?"

Lu Hongjun said he didn't know.

Liao Xiangmei didn't believe what she said and asked: "As my pillow partner, how could you not even know where Xiaoxia's jewelry went? Lu Hongjun, you shouldn't have given everything to Ding Jing, right? That's Xiaoxia Xia's relics must be left to Jiaxin.”

Lu Hongjun said with a complicated face: "She also hid the purchase of this house from me. If Jiaxin hadn't said it herself, I would still be in the dark."

As a pillow person, he knew very well how much Mother Lu loved jade and jade, and knew that she secretly collected a lot of jade ornaments. However, he didn't understand or be interested in these things, so he didn't interfere even though the cost was small. It's normal for people to have some preferences. He likes to collect stamps.

Liao Xiangmei didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "Xiaoxia was worried that if you marry again, it would be bad for Xinxin, so she prepared this house for Xinxin. Facts have proved that her worry was right."

Lu Hongjun didn't like Fan Yinuo, and even thought about canceling the marriage when his daughter was admitted to college, but something went wrong halfway. Facts have proved that he didn't like it. Fan Yinuo just couldn't support the wall: "Xiaoxia, I trust you, but what did you do? Fan Yinuo and Zhao Siyi were secretly having a relationship, and Jia Xin went back to her hometown alone because of this. We We were almost crazy and looking for someone everywhere, but you hid this matter from us."

"Also, you are Xiaoxia's most trusted person. Now I have reason to suspect that Xiaoxia entrusted the things to you for safekeeping, and you got greedy and deliberately slandered me so that you could seize this batch of jewelry." He is not giving it to you. Liao Xiangmei is throwing dirty water, but she really feels about those jade ornaments. After all, her daughter was engaged to Fan Yinuo, and when they got married, Liao Xiangmei would give those jade ornaments to her daughter and pass them on to the children and grandchildren of the Fan family.

Liao Xiangmei said: "Lu Hongjun, don't talk nonsense. Although these things are beautiful, they are not valuable. If I want to buy them, I can go to a friendship store or antique market."

 Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Jiaxin lowered her head. She felt that Mother Lu was not worried about 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 cannot be put in one basket, it is impossible to give jewelry to Liao Xiangmei.

Lu Jiaguang saw the two of them arguing and said, "The third aunt entrusted the house to Mrs. Xie to take care of. Will the jewelry also be given to Mrs. Xie for safekeeping?"

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense.

Lu Jiaxin felt that Lu's mother would not do this. In Mother Lu's heart, the top priority is for her daughter to grow up safely, and she will never bother the Xie family for such a trivial matter. But, where are these jewelry?

At this moment, Lu Jiajie's voice came from the kitchen: "Someone come and light the fire, I can't do it alone."

Sister-in-law Lu and Ma Lili hurried into the kitchen to help. Lu Jiaguang talked with Lu Hongjun, and at the same time gave Lu Jiaxin a wink to comfort Liao Xiangmei.

Lu Jiaxin received the message and immediately took Liao Xiangmei to eat watermelon. No matter how dissatisfied she is, today is her housewarming party, so she can't make a fuss.

Liao Xiangmei was in a bad mood after being splashed with dirty water by Lu Hongjun. She forced a smile and said a few words to Lu Jiaxin before going back.

Not long after she left, a man opened the door and walked in from the outside.

When Lu Jiaxin saw the visitor, she asked Lu Hongjun with a gloomy face: "Did you ask her to come?"

Lu Hongjun didn't ask Ding Jing to come, but Lu Jiaxin questioned him in front of so many people, which made him very embarrassed.

Ding Jing looked around the house, jealousy flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting. She walked up to Lu Hongjun and said with a smile: "Jiaxin, I'm here to congratulate you. You have established your own business at a young age and still live in such a big house. I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire Sijiu City."

The last time Lu Jiaxin returned to Sijiu City, she was unsure of Lu Hongjun's attitude, so she acted with 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 hit her with a stick instead of splashing water on her.

Water ran down Ding Jing's hair and cheeks; the little floral dress she wore was also wet and dripping on the ground.

"ah…"

Smelling the fishy smell on her body, Ding Jing screamed.

Lu Hongjun saw that Ding Jing's slender figure was highlighted because of her wetness, so he quickly took off his shirt and put it on her. But the shirt was too short, so he quickly asked Ma Lili, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, to take off her apron and put it on Ding Jing.
