Lu Xixin was awakened by the noise downstairs. She had been sleeping lightly and would be awakened by the slightest sound.
Opening her eyes and looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, she realized that she was not in the small house she bought outside the school, but in the Lu family.
Lu family?
Thinking of this word, Lu Xixin's heart beat faster for a moment, and a warm and soft light flashed in her eyes. This is her home, she is no longer an orphan, she is also a person with a father and a mother.
Thinking of this, she got dressed, opened the door and went downstairs.
The spiral staircase was covered with soft carpets. Lu Xixin's footsteps were light and she made no sound when she stepped on them.
She slowly went downstairs, getting closer and closer, and the sounds from downstairs became clearer and clearer.
Lu Xixin saw that in the large living room, a pair of well-maintained middle-aged men and women, as well as a tall young man, were coaxing around the crying girl in the middle.
"Qingqing, don't cry. It's such a big deal. Don't make your eyes swollen from crying. If they become swollen, they won't look good."
"It's not a big deal, we're all a family. She won't do anything to you, and you didn't mean it."
"That's right, sister, don't cry, isn't Lu Xixin okay? He's not dead!"
After hearing this, Lu Xixin finally understood what was going on.
The soft and delicate expectation in her eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a coldness.
Before returning to the Lu family, she once encountered an accident.
Because she is busy with scientific research work, Lu Xixin often works overtime and stays up late. It is already midnight when she comes home from the laboratory, and she has no time to cook. Therefore, she often orders takeout.
She was used to eating rice noodles from a nearby mom-and-pop shop. Eating a steaming bowl of rice noodles late at night was the warmest thing for her.
That day, she ordered a bowl of rice noodles as usual and went to open the door as usual.
But this time, the person who came to deliver rice noodles was not the familiar boss and his wife, but a strange man.
Lu Xixin frowned, and just as she was about to take the rice noodles, she was pushed into the room by a strange man, who followed immediately.
The man locked the door, threw the rice noodles aside, took off his clothes and rushed towards Lu Xixin.
He actually wanted to rape her!
Fortunately, Lu Xixin was agile and had practiced kung fu. He turned around and dodged. Then he picked up the baseball bat at the door and hit the man on the back of the neck.
She knocked the man unconscious and tied him up, then lit a stick of incense to relax people's vigilance and interrogated him.
The result she got surprised her. It was Lu Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, who sent him here. Not only did he want to rape her, but he also wanted to take photos of her naked body.
At that time, Lu Xixin didn't know this Lu Wanqing at all, and she didn't know how she had offended her, but then Grandpa Lu found her.
It turns out that she is the daughter of the Lu family who has been missing for 18 years. She is the real eldest daughter of the Lu family, and Lu Wanqing is just an adopted daughter.
Back at Lu's house, Lu Xixin threw the man's fingerprinted confession on Lu Wanqing's face.
At that time, Father and Mother Lu were not at home, so Grandpa Lu said that he would put the matter aside for now and wait until Father and Mother Lu came back to solve it.
Now that they are back, this is the solution!
When Lu Xixin was immersed in her own thoughts, a glass of cold water poured over her head and face.
Although he was distracted, Lu Xixin's instinctive reaction was still there, and he subconsciously stepped aside and hid to the side.
The water didn't splash on her face, it just wet her shoulders.
Seeing that the splash was missed, Lu Chengyuan became angry and raised the glass and threw it straight at her.
This time there was no effort to save at all, and it was thrown directly towards her eyes, completely intending to blind her!
At such a close distance, it was another hateful blow from a grown man. If he was hit, Lu Xixin's eyes would be gone. Any broken eyeballs would be minor.
Seeing that she was about to be hit, Lu Xixin hurriedly stepped back and narrowly escaped, but behind her was the stairs. The steps hit her ankle, causing her to tremble in pain and subconsciously bend down.
Seeing this, Lu Chengyuan was finally satisfied. Although he didn't hit her, it was good to give her a little knock.
Lu Chengyuan crossed his arms and looked at Lu Xixin condescendingly, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.
"Are you Lu Xixin?"
Lu Xixin raised her eyes and looked at the tall and strong young man in front of her. She knew this man. She had seen photos of everyone in the Lu family. This was the Lu family's youngest son, Lu Chengyuan.
He is also her biological brother!
Lu Xixin's eyes were sore. She quickly blinked her eyes to suppress the moisture in her eyes. At the same time, she also extinguished all her inner expectations for her relatives and the Lu family.
"Why don't you speak? You're mute!" Lu Chengyuan was very dissatisfied with Lu Xixin's silence. He took a step forward and raised his hand to grab her hair and force her to look up.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, before it touched anyone, he was stopped by a stern voice from upstairs: "Stop!"
It's grandpa!
Lu Chengyuan panicked, stopped quickly, took a few steps back, and let his hands hang on his sides, like a good baby.
"How could you do something to your sister!" Mr. Lu was so angry that he poked his cane.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Father Lu and Mother Lu quickly spoke to excuse Lu Chengyuan.
"Dad, Chengyuan is still young. He didn't mean it." This is Father Lu.
Later, Mother Lu nervously walked to Lu Chengyuan and explained: "Chengyuan just feels sorry for Ya Qing. He has a bit of a temper, but he doesn't mean anything bad."
Just now, Lu Chengyuan beat Lu Xixin, and Lu's father and mother looked on coldly, silently, and acquiesced in their connivance.
At this moment, Grandpa Lu just said something to Lu Chengyuan, and Father Lu and Mother Lu became nervous to protect him.
Lu Xixin, who was sitting on the stairs at the moment, looked at the loving mother and son in front of her, and she didn't know whether it was because her legs hurt more or because her heart ached more.
Mr. Lu took a deep look at Mother Lu and did not pursue the matter of Lu Chengyuan's beating. Instead, he changed the subject and brought up Lu Yaqing.
"Do you know about Lu Yaqing's rape of Xi Xin?"
"Dad." Father Lu was afraid that Mr. Lu would scare Lu Yaqing, so he spoke first, "Isn't it impossible? Xixin is fine too. Since everything is fine and we are all a family, let's get over it."
"Yes." Mother Lu also said, "Ya Qing was so scared that she cried. She actually didn't want to hurt Lu Xixin, she just found someone to scare her. It was the evil man who made his own decisions."
"Scare!" Mr. Lu sneered. His tone was stern and not merciful at all. "Even if it is an attempted murder, you will be sentenced."
What this means is that Lu Yaqing must be punished.
Hearing this, Mother Lu felt heartbroken. She did not dare to argue with Mr. Lu, so she had to turn her attention to Lu Xixin.
This was the first thing she said to Lu Xixin: "Xixin, you're fine anyway, so why bother being so unforgiving? Yaqing was even frightened."
Lu Xixin raised her eyes, took a serious look at her, and then lowered her head.
She thought, it turns out, this is what it feels like to have a mother.
However, this feeling is not comfortable at all.
Father Lu also said: "Xixin, you will be a member of the Lu family from now on. You must not want to make everyone unhappy. If you are sensible, you will forgive Yaqing."
What does this mean? Is it threatening her?
If she doesn't forgive Lu Yaqing, is she being unreasonable and ignorant?
Lu Xixin raised her head, stood up suddenly, and walked to Lu Yaqing's side.
"Sister." Lu Yaqing glanced at her, blinking her big watery eyes, pitiful and cute, "I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Forgive me!
Lu Xixin twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a faint smile, then suddenly raised her hand, concentrated all her strength, and slapped Lu Yaqing hard.
