Chapter 176 -165: Zhao Siyi Gets Fired (2)
Qian Xiaoxiao took Zhao Siyi to the police station, accusing her of unlawfully entering a residence and provoking trouble. Of course, it wouldn’t lead to any severe consequences, but it could scare Zhao Siyi. After all, at this time, many people were still afraid of the Public Security Bureau.
After returning, Qian Xiaoxiao said to Lu Jiaxin, “Sister Xin, was Zhao Siyi expelled from school?”
That was somewhat unexpected for Lu Jiaxin. However, thinking about it, with Ding Jing in prison and herself being expelled, it wasn’t surprising she’d go crazy.
Qian Xiaoxiao said excitedly, “Yes, they said she was having inappropriate relations with men, even got pregnant and had an abortion, ethically corrupt; the school couldn’t keep such a person.”
After finishing, she gave a thumbs up and said, “Sister Xin, that was smooth, a perfect way to kill without drawing any blood.”
Lu Jiaxin glanced at her and said, “I wasn’t the one who reported her pregnancy and miscarriage.”
“Ah…”
Qian Xiaoxiao was surprised, “Sister Xin, if it wasn’t you who reported it, then why do you take the credit? And if it wasn’t you, how did you know what she was talking about earlier?”
The report against Zhao Siyi was arranged by Lu Jiaguang. Zhao Siyi was attending a normal university, and after graduation, would be assigned to work as a teacher. Lu Jiaguang said that someone morally depraved and vicious in thought don’t deserve to be a teacher, otherwise they might corrupt other people’s children.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t mention Lu Jiaguang, she simply said, “Even if I deny it, she won’t believe me, so why bother explaining. Let’s not talk about her anymore, it’s bad luck.”
Qian Xiaoxiao decided she would follow Lu Jiaxin closely, to protect her from Zhao Siyi, who might go mad and harm her. Hmm, giving her just four slaps earlier was too lenient, she should have been beaten up properly.
The fact that Zhao Siyi was expelled was something Lu Jiajie wanted to keep secret, but Zhao Siyi ran to Lu Hongjun crying, so it was impossible to hide.
Zhao Siyi was in tears, “Dad, mom is now in custody, and I’ve been expelled from school. What am I going to do?”
Lu Jiajie responded mockingly, “This is retribution. When you took away Fan Yinuo and caused Jiaxin to nearly miss her exam and almost lose her life, you should have seen this coming.”
Lu Hongjun was still bedridden and couldn’t get up. Seeing her so heartbroken, he said, “Stay at home for now, don’t go anywhere. I’ll make arrangements once I’m better.”
Zhao Siyi, crying like a fountain of tears, said, “Dad, please find someone to let me go back to school. Dad, I’m begging you.”
Lu Jiajie said, “After such a disgraceful incident, you still expect Third Uncle to clean up your mess. How shameless can you be?”
Lu Hongjun didn’t speak; he wouldn’t possibly ask anyone for help. Firstly, he couldn’t afford to lose face, and secondly, asking anyone would be futile since she was expelled for her lifestyle issues.
Zhao Siyi’s weeping was useless as well, weary, she returned to the family courtyard. Facing everyone’s strange looks, she quickly ran into her house and locked the door.
Lu Hongjun wasn’t found to have any problems. However, since he was hospitalized and couldn’t take charge of his work, headquarters had sent someone to temporarily take over his position. It was called a temporary arrangement, but everyone knew he wasn’t coming back. The house was allocated to him, and the unit wouldn’t take it back as long as he hadn’t violated any fundamental principles.
After looking after Lu Hongjun for three days in a row, Lu Jiajie’s health began to falter, so he called Lu Jiazong to replace him for a day.
After discussing with her parents, Xiao Qiu agreed to help manage the clothing store. If she could keep the business going, she would get thirty percent of the shares, and the remaining seventy percent would naturally belong to Lu Jiaxin. If it did not work out, then they would shut it down, and Xiao Qiu would follow her to run a snack stall.
Whether it was the clothing store or the snack stall, both were created by Lu Jiaxin. Second Sister-in-law Lu was extremely grateful to her, and now she naturally wouldn’t stop her husband from looking after Lu Hongjun for a few days.
Lu Jiajie took a night off then went to find Lu Jiaxin. He sincerely apologized when he saw her, “Xinxin, I’m sorry, I was too angry that day and didn’t think before I spoke.”
Lu Jiaxin’s expression did not soften, she sneered and said, “Didn’t you want to sever all ties with me? What are you doing here then?”
Lu Jiajie was someone who could bend or stand tall as needed, and he said, “Xinxin, it’s all my fault, you can hit or scold me all you want, just don’t say we should sever all ties, I, I can’t bear to hear that.”
As he said the last sentence, his voice dropped. Before, everyone thought that Lu Jiaxin’s talk about breaking off her relationship with Lu Hongjun was said in anger, including him. But now, they all knew Lu Jiaxin wasn’t speaking out of anger; she truly didn’t want Lu Hongjun as her father anymore.
Lu Jiaxin was not softened, she scoffed coldly, “Weren’t you the one who said I was cold-blooded? Shouldn’t you be happy to sever ties with such a cold-blooded creature like me, instead of feeling upset?”
Lu Jiajie felt each of those words piercing his heart, “Xinxin, I was too afraid at that time, afraid that Third Uncle would be arrested and sent to prison, so I lost my sense of reason. Xinxin, I know I was wrong, hit me! If once isn’t enough, then twice, if twice isn’t enough, three times or even ten times will do.”

Lu Jiaxin asked, “If he really ended up in prison, would you still come to apologize to me?”
Lu Jiajie nodded firmly, and said, “Yes. If Third Uncle really ends up in prison, it’s his own crime, it has nothing to do with you. I was just not thinking straight at that time, and after big brother found out, he nearly scolded me to death. These last few days, I’ve been full of regret, constantly wanting to apologize to you but couldn’t get away.”
Knowing his nature, Lu Jiaxin knew he wouldn’t leave until she forgave him. She said, “I accept your apology, you can go back now.”
She had repaid the favor of Lu Jiajie’s past protection for her original self; from now on, they would each go their own way. Of course, they would not break ties entirely; getting along on the surface would be enough.
But Lu Jiajie was not ready to go back, finally seeing his sister soften he couldn’t let his efforts be wasted, “Jiaxin, Zhao Siyi got expelled. Did you know about that?”
Lu Jiaxin hummed in response, “I know, she even came here to cause a scene, and I had her sent to the Public Security Bureau.”
Lu Jiajie said with disdain, “She even ran to the hospital to beg Third Uncle to pull strings for her to continue her studies at the school. That venomous woman caused Third Uncle to lose his general manager position; how could he possibly help her?”
A smile flickered across Lu Jiaxin’s face, “Demoted?”
Lu Jiajie said somewhat uncomfortably, “No, he retired due to illness. The chairman of the department store’s trade union came to visit Third Uncle and put it quite grandly, saying things like how at his age, his health is the most important thing. They have more issues than Third Uncle, yet why don’t they step down to take care of their health?”
Lu Jiaxin asked, “When will he divorce Ding Jing?”
Lu Jiajie paused, hesitating, but still relayed Lu Hongjun’s concerns, “The divorce will definitely happen, just not now. If that woman goes crazy and spouts nonsense, Third Uncle might also end up in trouble.”
The original self had two wishes, one was to get into university, and the other was for Lu Hongjun to divorce Ding Jing, so she and Ding Jing’s mother and daughter would have no relationship anymore. These two wishes, she would help this child fulfill. But now that Ding Jing had been detained, it would be a long time before she got out, so there was no rush for this matter.
