when fangfang died at the massage parlor, she was lying next to lu zhongyi, and she only died after lu zhongyi did those things to her.

the lady owner of the massage shop, who had no intention of causing trouble for lu zhongyi, now insisted that the reason for fang fang’s death was that lu zhongyi had used some aphrodisiacs when he was having sex, and that had hurt her.

lu zeyang couldn’t explain himself.

during the first trial, lu jingjing and yan juan did not attend the court. the judge ruled that fangfang’s death was a sudden death from sexual intercourse. in addition, the boss of the massage shop and the other women in the shop said that fangfang had begged for mercy before she died. they all heard the movement, but lu zhongyi did not stop.

under the public’s criticism, lu zizun’s words became clumsy. he just repeatedly denied that he had done something extreme to fangfang. in the end, the court ruled that lu zeyang had caused someone’s death by mistake and sentenced him to six years in prison. he also had to compensate fangfang’s mother with 50000 yuan.

lu zizun had gone to jail, but his wife and daughter had to bear a heavy debt of fifty thousand yuan. yan juanyuan was so angry that she almost vomited blood. when lu zizun went to prison and yan juan went to see him, she pointed at him and scolded him, saying that he was worse than a beast and had no conscience.

that day, yan juan had poured out all the insults she had accumulated for half of her life on her husband.

lu jingjing had also grown up in a short period of time. she had become more frugal and was not as ostentatious in school. it was impossible to hide lu ziqing’s matter. gradually, people in the school knew that lu jingjing’s father had been arrested and sent to jail for causing the miss’s death by prostitution.

lu jingjing’s face was listless. she couldn’t even lift her head as she walked. in the two years of middle school, lu jingjing’s results, which weren’t considered outstanding to begin with, had plummeted. naturally, lu yinxi had heard about lu zhongyi. she went back to her aunt’s house and told her about it.

lu zi ‘ai only responded with a soft ” hmm ” after hearing this.

lu ziai didn’t seem to be affected by the fact that his brother was in prison. lu yinxi couldn’t understand her aunt. she felt that her aunt was a little heartless. she heard that her aunt was also this cold when her parents died. when her grandmother passed away, her aunt refused to see her for the last time.

what was it that caused her aunt to completely break off relations with the lu family?

the winter vacation was coming, and the students who didn’t like to study began to cram. they reduced their time to play and became more interested in studying.

early in the morning, lu yinxi took the subway through the underground of binjiang city and arrived at setting sun junior high school in nancheng. she walked into the classroom and realized that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little different today.

lu yinxi noticed that the girls in front of her who loved their students were not reading. instead, they were gathered together and discussing something.

lu yinxi walked to her seat and put down her school bag. she heard the girl in the yellow down jacket say, ” he’s so handsome. even though he’s on crutches, he’s still so handsome! ”

which celebrity are they discussing?

the morning reading class was english. lu yinxi took out her english listening test paper and english textbook. she heard another girl say, ” he looks very good when he plays the violin. sigh, he’s so handsome. ” i heard that his family is very rich, handsome, and rich. he even knows how to play the violin. he’s the male lead of a novel.”

a fangirl voice interrupted, ” if he’s the male lead of a novel, then i’m willing to be the female lead. ”

” get lost. you’re just a passerby. you don’t even have a part in the second or third female lead. ”

with that, the three girls started pushing and shoving each other, all wanting to be the female lead.

lu yinxi listened for a while and could guess who they were talking about.

they were talking about fang zikai, the senior who was in grade three at xiangjiang international college in northern city. she heard that this senior was extremely dazzling, handsome, came from a rich family, had talent, and had good grades.

they had lost to him in their mother’s womb.

lu yinxi gathered her thoughts and started her morning reading.

on the morning of the end-of-term exams of the second year of junior high, lu yinxi handed in her papers and carried her bag, planning to go to the subway station to take a bus home. she had just reached the school gate when she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind, yingluo.

“lu yinxi,”

lu yinxi tightened the strap of her bag. she turned around and saw lu jingjing.

she noticed that lu jingjing was wearing a blue down jacket from last year.

this dress had cost more than 600 yuan. to lu zhongyi’s family, yan juan really doted on lu jingjing by spending money to buy her a down jacket that cost more than 600 yuan.

at that time, lu jingjing really liked this piece of clothing. after wearing it for a while, her feelings for it faded. before lu ziqing’s accident, lu yinxi had already noticed that lu jingjing had almost never worn this dress. at that time, she had even said that she wanted to buy a new one.

lu zizun was in jail, and he had given the mother and daughter 50000 yuan in compensation. in addition to the money he had borrowed from others to return to lu yinxi, lu jingjing and her daughter still owed 80000 yuan.

in the next few years, lu jingjing would not be able to afford a down jacket that cost a few hundred yuan.

so, she put on the clothes that were out of fashion last year.

lu yinxi’s expression didn’t change. she called out ” sister jingjing ” and fell silent again. lu yinxi wasn’t a talkative person, so she didn’t know what to say to lu jingjing when she took the initiative to look for her.

lu jingjing forced a smile before asking her, ” are you staying at auntie’s place now? ”

“yes.”

lu jingjing asked again, ” does auntie treat you well? ” lu jingjing had heard that their aunt had a very cold personality.

lu yinxi thought of lu ziai, and her eyes became warm.

“aunt is doing well.” her aunt was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. lu yinxi cherished her aunt’s kindness.

lu jingjing carefully observed lu yinxi’s expression when she spoke. after confirming that lu yinxi wasn’t lying and was merely stating a fact, lu jingjing was truly relieved. “that’s good.”

the two of them didn’t seem to have much to say to each other. lu yinxi couldn’t stand the awkwardness and asked lu jingjing, ” sister jingjing, is there something you need from me? ”

lu jingjing didn’t rush to answer. instead, she took down her bag from her shoulder and reached inside. finally, she took out something. lu jingjing stretched out her hand in front of lu yinxi. she opened her palm and said, ” i’m giving it back to you. you left last time and never came back. i just remembered a few days ago that you still left your things with me. ”

lu yinxi stared at the peach blossom hair clip in lu jingjing’s palm.

she had always remembered that she had a hair clip with lu jingjing, but lu jingjing had never mentioned it, so lu yinxi was too embarrassed to ask for it. the peach blossom hair clip was well-preserved and very beautiful. under the warm winter sun, it emitted a brilliant and dazzling radiance.

lu yinxi took the hair clip.

lu jingjing suddenly said, ” that night, i went to lin di’s house. lin di praised me for being pretty, and he also said that the hair clip on my head was pretty. ” she was clearly talking about a happy matter, but her expression seemed like she was about to cry.
