Chapter 15: A Noble Home

The sudden caustic voice made Gao Jie's whole body tremble instantly, she shook, and almost didn't fall again, but fortunately, Lu Xiao who quickly stepped out to support her.

Frowning, Lu Xiao has always been prestigious.

I saw a middle-aged woman with a narrow forehead, dressed rustic but still wearing heavy makeup, carrying a plastic bag of leeks, rushing towards Gao Jie from the door of the community.

On the face of it, she belongs to the kind of person who is mean.

Feng Limei, as always, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at this time, and she still fantasized in her heart that the dead girl who she didn't like from the beginning could marry into a wealthy family, so that she could have a lot of money to spend.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she came back from shopping for vegetables, she saw her stepdaughter Gao Jie standing with a bearded man in tatters, and he was obviously not the rich second-generation Zhao Feng that she introduced to Gao Jie.

All of a sudden, her dream of being the mother-in-law of the golden beetle was shattered.

That's why she yelled like a shrew just now, and when she rushed over, she even saw that Lu Xiao holding Gao Jie with both hands, as if she was hugging Gao Jie from behind, which made her even more angry.

Walking up, Chen Limei didn't pay attention to Lu Xiao, who was dressed sloppily, and pointed at Gao Jie's nose and scolded, "You little slut, didn't I let you accompany Zhao Gongzi?" Whoever brought you back brought a disgusting poor ghost. As she spoke, she habitually wanted to twist Gao Jie's arm.

But the hand she just stretched out was easily knocked off by Lu Xiao.

Feng Limei was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at the poor boy in her mind who was sloppily dressed.

But just after glancing at Lu Xiao, Feng Limei shivered fiercely. Because the eyes of Lu Xiao she saw were full of cold aura.

After the cold, Chen Limei was so ashamed and angry that she was frightened by a look from a hairy boy, "Who are you?" Do you know that my family is going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, and it is not something that a poor boy like you can climb up at all, hurry up! ”

This time, Lu Xiao didn't even look at her, just thought she was a fly. Turning his head to look at Gao Jie, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Whew!"

After taking a deep breath, Gao Jie came back to her senses from the weakness she had been accustomed to seeing her stepmother for many years, and said lightly: "What is the matter of calling me back this time?" ”

Hearing Gao Jie's words, Chen Limei, who was still immersed in the cold, also came back to her senses, and roared with the posture of an elder: "What's the matter? What do you say? Your dead ghost dad owes gambling debts again, hurry up and give me 100,000 Chinese dollars. Chen Limei said arrogantly, "Also, who is he and why are you with him?" What about Zhao Gongzi? ”

With Chen Limei's few words, Lu Xiao could feel Gao Jie's body trembling more and more, and from Chen Limei's words, it was not difficult for Lu Xiao to hear that Gao Jie had a not very happy family.

Gao Jie's body trembled, his pink fists clenched, and his big eyes were full of tears. A row of teeth bit their lips tightly, and at this time, there was already blood spilling.

"It turns out that this time, you called me back, still for money?" Gao Jie's heart is like a knife, once upon a time, after the death of her mother, she can no longer feel the warmth of home.

Since it was a matter of asking for money again, there was no need for her to stay here.

She glanced at Chen Limei, stared deeply at her childhood 'home', and turned around slowly silently.

Seeing that Gao Jie was leaving, Chen Limei didn't do it, Gao Jie didn't give money, and went out on a date with Zhao Gongzi, and there was such a poor and sour unknown man, and she hadn't answered these questions yet. Chen Limei is absolutely intolerable, someone destroys her golden beetle son-in-law's good dream!

"Little slut, did I let you go?" Chen Limei wanted to grab Gao Jie's arm.

Lu Xiao casually raised his hand to block it, and easily bounced Chen Limei's arm away, and glanced at her coldly.

"Get out!"

Lu Xiao was a skillful move, although it was just a casual gesture, but he still shook Chen Limei back a few steps.

This made her angry, when she bullied Gao Jie that time, Gao Jie didn't endure it silently, and the poor ghost she brought today dared to do something to her! "Little slut, the old lady has raised you for more than ten years, and you dare to let the little white face next to you do it to the old lady. I tell you, if you dare to go with him today, you will never go back to this home! ”

Gao Jie's body shook and slowly turned around. Under the sun, tears are crystal clear and swirl in the eye circles.

"This home...... I don't want to go back for a long time. The voice was soft and weak, but full of firmness.

As Gao Jie turned around, Lu Xiao saw the clear tears on her face at this time, and the stubborn eyes in her weak and stubborn eyes.

The moment he saw Gao Jie's big watery eyes, Lu Xiao's heart was shocked, and his heart ached faintly. Memories that have been sealed in the dust for a long time are beating like flames. The god-like eyes gradually coincided, "You ...... What a look! Purple. ”

"No...... Not coming back? At this time, Chen Limei was extremely surprised in her heart, is she still the weak and noble who let herself slaughter? If she doesn't come back, who gives the two of them money, if she doesn't come back, how can she still be the mother-in-law of the golden beetle. No, I would never let that happen!

"Stop! Hold it! She shouted hysterically and rushed over like crazy, "You can't go, you want to marry Zhao Gongzi, he will give a lot of dowry!" Your damn dad said yes. ”

Listening to Chen Limei's words, Gao Jie no longer had any nostalgia for this family, turned around stubbornly, and no longer looked behind her. And she didn't know why, looking at the way Lu Xiao looked at her just now, she suddenly felt an inexplicable trust. Therefore, she handed over her back to him without hesitation. He walked out with a firm and slow pace.

Chen Limei's roaring voice also interrupted Lu Xiao's memories, he smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at Chen Limei who rushed over, and his eyes flashed with deep disdain.

He followed Gao Jie and walked out, but there was no trace of seven star steps under his feet.

Chen Limei, who was rushing over quickly and wanted to hold Gao Jie, didn't know why, suddenly her knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.

That scene was just like the porcelain she knelt on when she met the emperor in ancient times.

"Oops! It's not the New Year yet, how can you make such a big gift, how much red envelope should this give you? Lu Xiao frowned and looked up in thought, and suddenly he slapped his forehead, "Oh! That's right! I didn't bring any money when I went out today, so next time! Next time you knock again, I'll give you a big red envelope! ”

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and chased after Gao Jie, leaving Chen Limei, who had not yet gotten up on the ground, who had already turned purple with anger, gritted her teeth there......

"Little Sister Gao! Don't keep a straight face, come, give Ye Le one! ”

Lu Xiao caught up with Gao Jie, who was silently crying as she walked, and at this time, her face was pale and gloomy.

"If you're not happy, then the master will give you a happy one, hehehe!"

Gao Jie knew that Lu Xiao was kind enough to amuse her, but at this time, she was already filled with grief in her heart, and she really didn't have a trace of laughter.

Seeing that the previous old-fashioned method did not make the beauty smile, Lu Xiao was not discouraged, his eyes rolled, and he became close to Gao Jie again, "Sister Xiaogao, why don't I tell you a story!" ”

Without waiting for Gao Jie to nod, Lu Xiao talked to himself.

"Once upon a time, there was a scholar who knew and fell in love with a scholar. One day, they met on a trip, and when it rained heavily, they took shelter in an empty house in the wilderness and stayed overnight. There is only one bed in this house, and although the two are in love, they are not in chaos. The * took pity on the son, so he shamefully invited the son to sleep in the same bed, but in the middle of the pillow, wrote a note, saying, "Those who cross the line, birds and beasts" are also ......"

Gao Jie glanced at Lu Xiao a little helplessly, hoping that he could be quiet, and before he finished speaking, he said lightly: "Who hasn't heard of this old-fashioned joke!" 'Thou art no worse than a beast.'" ”

"Eh! So Jie'er, you think so! People are very ashamed! Lu Xiao covered his face and said in a fuss.

Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had landed on Lu Xiao's way, and habitually raised his hand to fight, but saw him covering his face and making a shy appearance.

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Gao Jie understood that Lu Xiao still successfully diverted his thoughts, so that he did not continue to feel sorry for himself. ……

At this time, the two of them are like a pair of bosom friends, chatting while walking, and from time to time they bring out a string of hearty and crisp laughter.

However, wonderful times are always short-lived. In a short time, the sun was already setting. Lu Xiao acted as a messenger to protect the flowers and sent Gao Jie back to the staff dormitory arranged by the company.

The staff dormitory arranged by the Lin Group for the management personnel is about 15 minutes' drive from the Lin Group Building.

These are two relatively independent six-story buildings, each with about 10 households. Each room is not very large, only about 20 square meters. But it is better to be quiet, and it is free to give staff accommodation.

"Mr. Lu, although I have said it many times, today, thank you very much!" Standing downstairs in the dormitory, Gao Jie, who wanted to go back to rest, thanked Lu Xiao again. But this time, it's a little less rusty.

It's just that Lu Xiao didn't answer the question and said, "This is the legendary female staff dormitory, eh!" Then I'm going to have a good visit today! ”

As he spoke, he stepped inside.

"Mr. Lu, you ......"

"Oh! I'm in a hurry to urinate and want to borrow the bathroom in your house, I think it should be fine, right, Sister Gao! Lu Xiao said with his eyes on Gao Jie.

It's just that what was returned to him was Gao Jie's big white eyes.

Although in her consistent cognition, Lu Xiao is a spineless and obscene embryo who eats soft rice, but she is not worried about what Lu Xiao will do to herself in this staff dormitory where many people live. And, he did help himself many times today.

Therefore, even if Lu Xiao used such a lame excuse to enter the female staff dormitory, Gao Jie had no choice but to acquiesce in this behavior.

It's just that the moment Gao Jie pushed the door open, she regretted her decision.

When Gao Jie opened the door, he was greeted by the fragrance of tulips and flowers. And when Lu Xiaomai stepped in and saw the things placed on the bed, the nosebleed flowed out unconsciously.
