Chapter 890 - Chu Xiang’s Ideas (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin left without waiting for Chu Lui’s answer. She changed into her heels at the door and left, minimizing her contact with anyone at the Chu family household.

Returning to the Lu family, Lu Ke’en and his wife had just returned from overseas.

“Dad, Mom, you’re back.”

She walked over and hugged Jian Qingying and Lu Ke’en, just like she would with her real parents. She had won them over with her sincerity.

“Welcome back.”

“I’ve missed my Xiaohua.” Jian Qingying pulled Xia Ruoxin aside and sized her up. “Wearing office wear, you really do look like an OL[1].”

What look? She already was an OL.

Lu Jinrong walked over with a smile. “Okay, come here Xiaohua, I need to talk to you about something. Dad and Mom just got back; let them get some proper rest.”

“I don’t want to rest; I want to talk to my daughter. I haven’t seen her for half a month. My daughter still looks the best. After looking at your dad’s face for so long, I’m tired of it.”

Lu Ke’en’s expression immediately turned gloomy. What did he do to deserve this?

“Let’s go, Xiaohua. Mommy brought a lot of things back for you. You’re sure to like it.” As she spoke, she pulled her daughter away, without regard for her husband or son. In their household, women reigned supreme. Men were at the bottom of the hierarchy. That was the case of Lu Ke’en, not to mention Lu Jinrong.

Lu Jinrong touched his nose, and the father and son stared at each other.

“It’s all your fault. You brought a sister back, and I’m without a wife now.”

Lu Jinrong dared not say anything. He just stood there and let his father put him down. He knew that his dad did not mean anything he said. His dad was actually really happy. He had not spoken so much in a really long time. The house had been gloom and doom since they lost his sister. Now, it was finally beginning to feel alive again.

In the room, Jian Qingying opened the big box. It was filled with women’s products—clothes, jewelry, makeup, and some trinkets. They filled the box to the brim. There were more than ten sets of pajamas alone.

Xia Ruoxin was wondering when she would be able to wear all the clothes. She lifted the luggage into her room and took its contents out. The clothes, jewels, jewelry, and bags had filled out a few shelves already.

No one had ever bought her so many things. It was nice to have a mother.

It was nice to have a daughter.

…

“Is it here?” Lu Jinrong asked Xia Ruoxin, who was seated next to him. They came out this late just to be at this place.

“En, it’s right here. Brother, wait for me a little bit.”

“Okay.” Lu Jinrong agreed and parked the car on the side of the road.

Xia Ruoxin got out of the car and then tightened her clothes. She walked to the door of the apartment where she used to live. She pulled the mat aside and took out a bunch of keys from underneath it. She then opened the door and entered the apartment.

There was a stale and musty smell when she entered the place. This place had been vacant for a really long time, without anyone to clean it. The apartment was fully paid for so it was under her name. However, she probably would never live in it. Even if the place was left vacant like that, she would never sell it.
