lu yinxi really wanted to cry.

it had been so many years. she had only cried once on the afternoon of her grandmother's death. after that, at second uncle's house, no matter how much she suffered, she endured it and clenched her teeth.

but this time, she couldn't help it.

those who had never lived in such a family would not understand lu yinxi's feelings at the moment. it was the loneliness of someone abandoned by the world.

hearing lu yinxi's condemnation, yan juan's face stiffened.

!!

she thought about it carefully and felt that her request was too shameless. yan juan's face was as red as a tomato. she quickly rubbed her cheeks and said to lu yinxi, " i didn't think it through properly. yinxi, don't take it to heart. i'll think of another way. "

yan juan ran out of the room.

after she left, lu yinxi sat alone on a small stool. she bit her lip and was sad for a long time.

in the next few days, yan juan rarely returned home. lu yinxi heard from lu jingjing that her aunt was hospitalized and was preparing for surgery. she said that she needed a heart transplant. two days later, lu jingjing said that her aunt's surgery would be pushed back.

lu yinxi had been paying attention to this matter. she asked lu jingjing, " why? "

lu jingjing stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth and said as she ate, " you don't have money, right? her son is good-for-nothing and owes a bunch of bad debts. where would you find the money for the surgery? " my uncle-in-law has been borrowing money everywhere, and he's still short of twenty to thirty thousand yuan."

the next morning, lu yinxi woke up and saw yan juan coming back from outside. her eyes were red. lu yinxi noticed that yan juan had been secretly wiping her tears while she was making breakfast.

lu yinxi's heart was not made of stone. she turned around to look for her bank card. she held it in her hand and hesitated for a long time before gritting her teeth and taking it to the kitchen.

"auntie, take this. i've sent the password to your phone. there's exactly 30000 yuan inside, you can use it first." lu yinxi saw that yan juan was staring at the bank card in her hand. her eyes were filled with shock and surprise.

yan juan still refused.

" your life is the most important, " lu yinxi said. " you can use it first. " " i'm going to high school next year, " lu yinxi said. " my expenses will definitely be higher. this is all i have, and it's not even enough for me to finish high school. i still have to work. auntie, you must return it to me. "

lu yinxi didn't care about her pride. she said to yan juan frankly, " you have to return the money to me. i have to wait for this money to go to school. "

in the end, yan juan still accepted the money with a red face.

yan juan had lent her sister the money, and after solving the urgent problem, she had to start paying back the money. yan juan started to look for a job everywhere. in the end, she found a job where she bought clothes in a shopping mall. the work was not tiring and she could earn more than 4000 yuan a month.

if she wanted to return lu yinxi's money, she had to work.

lu ziqing knew that yan juan had borrowed money from lu yinxi and had even lent it to her sister. the two of them locked themselves up in their room and had a fierce quarrel. after that quarrel, yan juan was so angry that she locked herself in her room and cried, while lu zhongyi left home for nearly half a month.

lu yinxi knew that lu zhongyi had taken the money he had left and ran out to find his lover. he still knew his lover, yan juan. she was the woman of one of their friends. that friend had divorced his wife, and lu zengyang had hooked up with that woman since.

lu self-esteem, lu self-esteem, he had lived without any self-esteem.

on christmas eve, lin di, the boy who had just returned from overseas and was sitting behind lu yinxi, was going to hold a christmas eve party at his house. he had invited a group of his good friends in school to attend.

lu yinxi was sitting in front of him. because she was pretty, lin di had invited her. lu jingjing liked lin di, so she tried her best to become friends with him. naturally, lu jingjing was also invited to this party.

lu yinxi had heard from lu jingjing that lin di's family was very rich, so everyone would be wearing beautiful dresses to the party. lu jingjing rummaged through the house, looking for a beautiful dress so that she could have face tomorrow night.

in the end, she chose a pink dress that was given to her by one of lu jingjing's distant cousins. lu yinxi had wanted to go. it was christmas eve, after all. no child would dislike it. lu yinxi didn't plan on going when she heard that she was going to wear a pretty dress.

she didn't have a beautiful dress.

after school ended on the 24th, lu jingjing returned home. she couldn't wait to dress up. before she left, she borrowed the hair clip from lu yinxi. in the end, lu yinxi still lent it to her.

she was only borrowing it. it wasn't like she wasn't going to return it, so lu yinxi comforted herself.

the moment lu jingjing left, the room instantly became quiet.

lu zhongyang had left after his fight with yan juan last time and had not returned for the past few days. lu yinxi thought that he was not planning to come back any time soon. people got off work a little late at the mall on christmas eve, so yan juan would probably be here very late tonight.

the weather was really cold, and it was even snowing outside. lu yinxi didn't want to take a shower either. she washed her face, filled a foot basin with water, and sat on the sofa in the living room to soak her feet. the door was suddenly pulled open from the outside. lu yinxi thought that yan juan had gotten off work. she thought that her aunt had gotten off work quite early tonight.

the door opened, and a man in a short cotton-padded jacket walked in.

the man was holding a bottle of white wine ...

"ah, yinxi, you're soaking your feet!"

lu zhongyang turned on the light at the entrance and saw lu yinxi soaking her feet on the sofa. he frowned. he took a sip of his wine and scratched his back. " where's your sister? " he asked lu yinxi.

lu yinxi rolled her eyes. she was about to lie when she heard lu zhongyi say, " your sister went to a party, right? "

lu yinxi was stunned. " you know? "

" your aunt is still at work, right? " lu ziqing asked.

when lu yinxi heard this, she suddenly felt a sense of danger.

she quietly took her feet out of the basin and put them in her slippers. then, she heard lu zhongyang say, " i know. i came back because i knew you were alone at home. "

seeing the strange smile on lu zizun's face, lu yinxi felt very uneasy and was ready to run back to her room at any time.

lu ziqing placed the bottle on the cabinet.

he chuckled at lu yinxi and said, " yinxi, i've raised you for so many years. i haven't done it with your aunt for a long time. yinxi, please take pity on your uncle ... "

lu yinxi wanted to vomit when she heard the dirty words coming out of lu ziyang's mouth.

lu yinxi didn't say anything. she picked up the basin of foot-washing water and poured it directly at lu zizun. lu zizun wiped the water off his face and spat. " you noticed the thing on your pants a long time ago, right? " he asked lu yinxi.

"abnormal!"

" bastard! " lu yinxi shouted at him.

lu yinxi wanted to escape, but it was useless to run back to the room. he had a spare key. escape from the main entrance ...

lu zhongyi was standing right there.
