Chapter 129 First Meeting
A woman, not her eldest sister-in-law or fifth sister-in-law, Lu Jiaxin couldn't guess who it was.
Auntie Pang asked: "From the sound of her voice, she should be in her thirties or forties, but her voice is very nice. Jiaxin, could it be your stepmother?"
Lu Jiaxin laughed: "Auntie Pang, you think too much, she doesn't dare to call me."
Ding Jing is the kind of person who is good at borrowing a knife to kill someone, even if she wants to harm herself, she can't do it herself. And Zhao Siyi, she dared not appear in front of her since she was beaten by her.
After arriving at the store, the phone rang again not long after. Lu Jiaxin picked up the phone and heard a pleasant voice like a lark from the other side. She asked curiously: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Su Hongying."
Lu Jiaxin has always only heard of Su Hongying but never seen her in person. Until now, she doesn't even know what she looks like: "Auntie Su, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Ya said: "Do you have time now? I have something to tell you. If you have time, I will ask someone to pick you up."
She even specially asked the driver to pick her up, which shows that this matter should not be known to others. Lu Jiaxin said she had time: "How long will it take? I'll wait by the roadside."
Su Ya said: "No, he brought some things. Jiaxin, I'm not in good health and can't stand the cold wind, otherwise I would go directly to you."
"It's okay, I'll go the same way."
More than 40 minutes later, the driver came with two large bags of fruit, one of which was Lu Jiaxin's favorite cherries.
After Lu Jiaxin thanked the driver, she left with him.
It was Qian Xiaoxiao's first time riding in a car. As soon as she got in, she looked around and was very curious. Lu Jiaxin was very calm and sat by the window to look at the scenery outside.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and the trees on the roadside were shaking. There were few pedestrians on the road, and there were only a few people riding bicycles, and they were all fully armed. In such a cold day, people usually choose to take the bus to travel.
About half an hour later, the car arrived in front of a gate. The driver stopped the car and walked out: "I'll go register. You wait here for a while."
Lu Jiaxin rolled down the window and looked out. There were two soldiers holding long wooden boxes at the gate. Looking at the wooden boxes, her heartbeat quickened a little. Well, I still haven't cultivated to the point of home!
Qian Xiaoxiao was terrified. She grabbed Lu Jiaxin's arm and whispered: "Sister Xin, what is this place? Why are there soldiers standing guard with wooden boxes?"
Lu Jiaxin patted her hand gently and whispered: "This is where the old comrades live. Although it is stricter, we are all good citizens who abide by the law and don't have to be afraid."
Qian Xiaoxiao's heart lifted up when she heard this.
Soon the driver came back and drove in. He stopped outside a small western-style building. After opening the car, the driver said: "Comrade Lu, we're here. You guys get off!"
Qian Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look around when she got off the car, so she followed Lu Jiaxin. The two of them walked through the iron gate into the yard and found that there were many pine trees planted inside, none of which were more than one meter high. However, the outside was white, and the yard was green, the contrast was quite big.
"Is it Miss Lu? Come in quickly, the lady is waiting for you inside."
Entering the house, a wave of heat hit her face. There is heating in this house, but unfortunately there is no collective heating in Guangming Road, and she returned to Sijiucheng too late to start work. This led to her spending all her time on the kang these days except for tutoring and physical exercise.
It doesn't matter if she stays on the kang for a long time because of her weak body, but Qian Xiaoxiao and Xue Mao can't. Both of them have a strong temper, and they get angry even when they lie on the kang to sleep at night.
Su Hongying saw that she looked good, and smiled and said: "Jia Xin, I heard He Yuan say that you recovered very well before the New Year. Now I see that he didn't lie to me."
It's good to be young. She has recovered so well in just over three months of conditioning. Unlike her, she has been taking medicine to regulate her body but there is no improvement.
When Lu Jiaxin saw Su Hongying, she knew why Xie Kaixiao had gone through all the difficulties to marry her. Su Hongying was not a beautiful woman with all kinds of charm and radiance, but a woman as gentle as water, who made people want to protect her.
Lu Jiaxin said: "Aunt Su, I have taken medicine every day since I returned to Sijiu City. In addition, I also eat soups such as pig liver and red dates to nourish the body."
Master Qian sent a lot of things back, including precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antlers, as well as furs such as deerskin and gray fur. However, these things were not touched. She told the doctor that she only needed food to nourish herself now and did not need medicine to nourish herself. As for the fur being useless, she could not get over it.
Su Hongying nodded and said: "You are still young, it would be best if you can nourish yourself with food. Jiaxin, I heard from He Yuan that you are an outstanding painter. It happened that I painted a painting yesterday, and you can comment on it."
Lu Jiaxin understood that commenting on the painting was fake, and avoiding the aunt in the kitchen was real. She followed up with the words: "I like plum blossoms the most, Aunt Su, where did you paint it?"
"Then come with me."
After Lu Jiaxin winked at Qian Xiaoxiao, she followed Su Hongying upstairs. It must be said that a beauty is a beauty, her walking posture is very elegant, and every move is full of charm.
Entering a room full of books, Su Hongying greeted Lu Jiaxin and said: "Sit down, it's inconvenient to talk with so many people downstairs."
Lu Jiaxin nodded to show her understanding, and then thanked her for the previous gangster incident: "Aunt Su, thank you and Uncle Xie, if it wasn't for my eldest brother telling me, I wouldn't know about it."
Su Hongying smiled and said: "When you came back, your uncle Qin was worried that someone would target you, so he asked the leader in charge of that area to help look after you. But why did people outside know that you received a deposit of 200,000 yuan from Su Heyuan?"
Lu Jiaxin took a deep breath and briefly told the stupid things Lu Jiajie did: "My fifth brother is good in everything except his mouth. This time my eldest brother has severely punished him, I hope he can change in the future!"
Su Hongying didn't expect that Lu Jiajie would tell others, he was too careless. However, this was the Lu family's business, so she couldn't say more: "Jiaxin, did your mother tell you about your grandmother's matter?"
Lu Jiaxin was confused by the question, how could it be related to her grandmother. But soon a thought flashed through her mind, and she asked: "Aunt Su, could it be that my grandmother's brothers and sisters went overseas and are now back to look for their relatives?"
Su Hongying was shocked, this is too smart: "Why do you think so?"
Lu Jiaxin explained: "My grandmother only gave birth to my mother. She was later abused and tortured by her stepmother. My grandfather knew but didn't care. My mother cut off contact with them after she started working. My grandmother has five brothers and sisters, and later they were separated because of family changes. Now many people from Hongcheng Bay Island have returned to China to look for their relatives. You suddenly asked about my grandmother, so I also had this guess."
Su Hongying suddenly understood why her nephew wanted to take this girl in for himself. Knowing that it was not feasible, he immediately changed his strategy and wanted to take her to Hongcheng. This girl has a keen sense of smell and clear logic. She is indeed a rare talent.
