CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: BLEAK AND MISERABLE

"Mom, what did Dad ask me to come back for?" Song Jiajia sat on the back seat of the bicycle, asking.

Chen Jinlan said unhappily, "How would I know what kind of nonsense your dad is up to."

Song Jiajia: "Mom, what’s wrong with you? Who upset you?"

Chen Jinlan: "Shut up."

Song Jiajia: ...

Song Jiajia didn’t say anything all the way until they got home.

Just as they entered the door, before Dad could say a word, a slap landed.

With a loud sound, Song Jiajia was almost knocked to the ground by the slap.

Chen Jinlan was shocked, and after realizing it, she quickly closed the door.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Jinlan went forward to take a look, and Song Jiajia’s face was already swollen.

Song Jiajia looked at Song Zhenhua, her eyes full of shock: "Dad, why did you hit me?"

"You tell me why, isn’t it to go into business? Didn’t you say you’d make big money? Where’s the money?"

Song Jiajia: "But we haven’t even gone yet."

Song Zhenhua said coldly: "So you’re just idling around causing trouble, aren’t you? Are you trying to ruin me?

I’m telling you today, if you ruin me, I definitely won’t let you off!"

Song Jiajia had no idea what she did wrong.

"I haven’t done anything, how did I ruin you?"

"Whether you did or not, you know in your heart. I’m telling you, tomorrow you and that Lu Hao pack up and leave. If after tomorrow I see you again, forget about going into business, you’ll both be packed off to the countryside!"

Although there’s no such thing as going to the countryside nowadays, getting two people to end up there is something Song Zhenhua can do.

Song Jiajia thought about going to find Sang Yu.

"Is it that Sang Yu, that bitch?" Song Jiajia asked.

"I don’t care who it is, either way, get out tomorrow, or give me my money back."

If it weren’t for Song Jiajia saying Lu Hao could make money and give him the factory director’s position.

He definitely wouldn’t waste time talking with them here.

"Also, you’d better hope what you said is true; otherwise, I won’t let you off." Song Zhenhua’s gaze was filled with malice.

Song Jiajia was utterly frightened.

Thinking about how after Jiang Jingming died, he stopped caring about her, she suddenly felt a chill.

After being scolded harshly, Song Jiajia was chased away.

She couldn’t even hitch a ride back and had to walk.

By the time she returned to the Lu Family, it was already past eight at night.

Song Jiajia knocked on the door for a long time, but nobody answered.

Clearly, it was intentional, so she stood at the door, cursing.

Finally, someone opened the door.

"Why are you going crazy?" The person who opened the door was Lu Hao.

Lu Hao really couldn’t stand Song Jiajia’s sharp and bitter voice anymore and came to open the door.

"Why going crazy, are you all deaf? I’ve been knocking for so long and no one came to open it!"

"Unreasonable!" After saying that, Lu Hao ignored Song Jiajia and went straight back inside.

Seeing his cold demeanor, Song Jiajia couldn’t hold back and started crying.

"In the middle of the night, what’s with the crying? Such bad luck!" Liu Fenglan cursed irritably,

and since coming back from the police station, Liu Fenglan didn’t bother pretending anymore, looking at Song Jiajia with disdain.

"No one’s dead at home, why are you crying, aren’t you adding to the misfortune?"

Song Jiajia simply let loose, "Why I’m crying, isn’t it all your fault."

"Hey, you little brat, you’re really getting cocky, aren’t you? Lu Ting!"

Lu Ting hid in the room listening for a while; hearing Liu Fenglan’s voice, she immediately came out.

"Grandma."

"Bring me the broom, shut the door tight."

Lu Ting looked gleeful, "Alright."

Handed the broom to Liu Fenglan and went to stand at the door.

Liu Fenglan swung the broom towards Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia screamed and dodged, but couldn’t escape; the broom hit her painfully.

Finally, Lu Hao couldn’t take it anymore and came out to stop it.

Song Jiajia shouted: "You’re too much, I’m going to tell my parents."

Liu Fenglan pointed at Song Jiajia: "Then go ahead, who doesn’t discipline their daughter-in-law, go say it, let’s see if you have the face!"

Song Jiajia was stumped by Liu Fenglan, unable to speak.

"Alright, everyone stop arguing, it’s late, aren’t you letting people sleep?" Lu Hao said impatiently.

Immediately, Liu Fenglan’s attitude completely changes: "Sorry, Hao Zi, Grandma won’t scold anymore, go back to sleep."

Only then did Lu Hao turn and go back to his room, and Song Jiajia followed him.

"You just let that old witch hit me?" Song Jiajia looked displeased at Lu Hao.

First, Song Zhenhua hit her, and coming back, she got beaten again.

Song Jiajia’s heart was filled with grievance.

"How are you talking, what do you mean old witch, that’s my grandma." Lu Hao said, frowning.

Song Jiajia: "So now, you just watch her hit me? I’m your wife!"

Lu Hao responded matter-of-factly: "Grandma was just teaching you a lesson, it was wrong for you to act like that at the door tonight."

"What’s wrong, isn’t it all because of you?" Song Jiajia retorted angrily.

Lu Hao: "What’s it got to do with me?"

"How does it have nothing to do with you, I’ve been telling you to get into business a long time ago, you keep dragging it out, if it weren’t for you, how would I get hit by my dad." Song Jiajia pinned all the blame on Lu Hao.

Lu Hao was somewhat surprised, to find out Song Jiajia got hit, no wonder her face was swollen like a pig’s head, looking downright disgusting.

"Didn’t I say, doing business isn’t that simple, don’t I need to investigate thoroughly?" Lu Hao avoided looking at Song Jiajia’s face.

"My dad said, we have to leave by tomorrow!" Song Jiajia said.

Lu Hao was startled: "What’s the rush? I haven’t figured it out yet."

Actually, he wouldn’t know how to do business, it was just to get hold of that money.

Song Jiajia said: "My dad said if we don’t leave by tomorrow, he’ll ask for the money back!"

Lu Hao panicked, he’d already spent quite a bit of that money.

"That’s no good."

"Anyway, wherever you go, it’s to investigate, might as well just go first." Song Jiajia was also eager.

Sooner or later, she wanted to laugh at Sang Yu ruthlessly.

Now she herself seemed like a clown, last life she was overshadowed by Sang Yu, this life she must reclaim everything that was hers.

Lu Hao now felt overwhelmed, but he certainly couldn’t return the money.

But if they really went, he didn’t know how to do business.

Looks like he’ll have to pretend to go first, once they’re out, they can say the money’s gone or they failed.

"Got it, tomorrow we’ll go buy tickets." Lu Hao said annoyed.

"Then I will start packing our things." Song Jiajia opened the wardrobe and started packing.

"Wait, you said our things?" Lu Hao suddenly noticed her words,

"Is there a problem?" Song Jiajia asked back.

"You’re coming too?" Lu Hao asked.

Song Jiajia: "Yes, I’m going with you."

Lu Hao said: "What are you going for?"
