Tong Jiangxin rested at Lu's house for a week because of an injury on her back. She called her home, and unexpectedly, it was Han Xue who answered the phone.
Tong Jiangxin told Han Xue that she had something to do and could not go home these days. There was silence on the phone for a long time. Tong Jiangxin felt sad because she knew what Han Xue was thinking at this moment.
But in the end, Han Xue didn't say anything and just hung up the phone.
It had not been long since the last time Lu Chengxi asked her if she would continue trading, and the result was as it should be, of course.
She had no ability to challenge Lu Chengxi. Even the entire Tong family was just a plaything in Lu Chengxi's hands, let alone her who was defenseless.
During this week, Tong Jiangxin could only lie on the bed every day. She was under too much pressure recently and couldn't sleep well. This made it even harder.
Even if Lu Chengxi came back every night and opened the door gently, she would wake up in the first second.
Tong Jiangxin felt Lu Chengxi sitting by the bed, and then reached out to brush away the broken hair from her face. Sometimes he would also kiss her on the cheek.
Tong Jiangxin closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but after Lu Chengxi left, she would open her eyes in the dark and cry silently.
Sometimes people's lives are really unpredictable. Plans never change as fast as they do. No one knows what will happen in the next second, let alone the final ending of the story.
It goes without saying that the people in the Lu family were very polite to Tong Jiangxin and took good care of her. But Tong Jiangxin could feel that there was alienation in their politeness, and contempt in their respect.
Tong Jiangxin felt that if she were one of those servants, they might look down on her, so she pretended not to see it. Now she just has trouble getting out of bed, out of sight and out of mind.
After recovering peacefully for a while, the wound on Tong Jiangxin's back gradually scabbed over, and she was able to move her body a little. One day, she went to the ground by herself and wanted to lower her head to pick up something that fell on the ground, but she accidentally touched the wound.
As a result, she screamed in pain.
Lu Chengxi unexpectedly came back early that day. Seeing Tong Jiangxin like this, he frowned and stepped forward to support her, then scolded the servant on duty that day.
Tong Jiangxin said, "It's none of their business, it's just my own carelessness."
Lu Chengxi said, "Should I ask them to come back to take care of me? They can't even take care of a patient!"
Looking at his gloomy face, Tong Jiangxin didn't know what he was feeling, and she didn't want to explore more.
Lu Chengxi helped Tong Jiangxin sit on the edge of the bed. She took her arm away from his hand without leaving a trace and sat on the side with her eyes downcast.
Lu Chengxi didn't react at all. He looked a little tired today and lazily reached out to unbutton his shirt.
"When you recover from your injury, go to work at Lu's."
Lu Chengxi's voice was soft, but Tong Jiangxin suddenly stiffened.
Lu Chengxi turned his head and looked at Tong Jiangxin, "Huh?"
He signaled her intention aloud.
Tong Jiangxin looked down at her knees. After a while, she nodded gently.
Seeing this, Lu Chengxi turned away and said, "Don't worry, no one will say anything to you outside."
Tong Jiangxin was silent, as if he didn't hear anything.
Three days later, Tong Jiangxin's injury was almost healed. She said she wanted to go home, and Lu Chengxi did not stop her. He just said, "The day after tomorrow is Monday. After you come to Lu's, go directly to the director of the personnel department, and she will give you
new job".
Tong Jiangxin nodded and drove away from Lu's house.
However, I haven't been back to Tong's house for more than ten days. When I came back here, I felt like I was in another world. I opened the door and walked in. There was no one in the hall.
Tong Jiangxin looked around and found Uncle Cheng preparing lunch in the kitchen. Tong Jiangxin called out, "Uncle Cheng."
Uncle Cheng turned around and saw Tong Jiangxin. He immediately came over and said with a smile, "Miss, you are back!"
Tong Jiangxin nodded, and then said, "Where are Aunt Xue and Jiang Hao?"
Uncle Cheng's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "It's in the room upstairs."
Tong Jiangxin also felt that something was wrong. She turned around and went upstairs to the door of Han Xue's room.
After knocking on the door twice, before Tong Jiangxin could make a sound, she heard Han Xue's voice coming from inside, "I don't want to eat, you tell Jiang Hao to eat!"
Tong Jiangxin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Aunt Xue, it's me."
The room was quiet for a while, and then the door was opened. Tong Jiangxin saw that although Han Xue was wearing home clothes, her hair was tied up and her face was painted with delicate makeup. She had obviously just returned from going out.
"Aunt Snow".
"You're back".
Han Xue glanced at Tong Jiangxin, and then said calmly.
Tong Jiangxin knew that it was too much to stay away from home for many days as soon as she went out. She whispered, "Aunt Xue, I have something to tell you."
Han Xue turned sideways and made way for Tong Jiangxin.
The two of them entered Han Xue's bedroom one after another. Tong Jiangxin could not see any trace of her father in this room. Because Han Xue said that she misses people when she sees things, and she didn't want to miss the man who abandoned the whole family, so she put Tong Haixin in the room.
Everything was taken away.
"sit".
Han Xue sat on the sofa and said to Tong Jiangxin.
Tong Jiangxin sat opposite Han Xue. She was inexplicably embarrassed to look at Han Xue. Although she had never regarded Han Xue as a parent in her heart, her mother was gone and her father was gone. No matter what, Han Xue was now
She is the highest-ranking elder in the family. She is like a child who has done something wrong and only feels embarrassed.
Han Xue reached for the cigarette on the table and asked, "Can I have a cigarette?"
When Tong Jiangxin looked up, she saw a lot of cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray on the table. She was distracted for a moment and nodded.
Han Xue lit a cigarette and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Tong Jiangxin said, "Aunt Xue, I went to see Lu Chengxi and told him about exchanging the company for real estate, but he didn't agree..."
Han Xue took a deep drag on the cigarette and then said, "So?"
So? Tong Jiangxin looked away. She frowned slightly and her palms were sweating. She said, "I have promised him to work at Lu's, so he will not take back the house."
The smoke surrounding Han Xue made her face with makeup look foggy.
She didn't know how long it took before she said, "I have no ability. When your father was alive, I relied on him to support me. Now that he is gone, I have to let his daughter support me again..."
