Chapter 354 You Are Really a Jinx
night.
Liu Cuiyun finished her shower, came out of the bathroom, sat in front of the dressing table, and applied skin care products on her face.
She patted her face and said with a smile: "You know what, our Xiaoqi is really good at dealing with Chunjuan. Although I also know that Chunjuan sometimes just wants to take advantage of her, but thinking that we are all family, let it go."
"You are too easy to talk to, that's why she always bullies you. Our Xiaoqi is right, no one's money comes from the wind. You don't have to be polite to her in the future. Second brother is a reasonable person and will not have any grudges against us."
Liu Cuiyun nodded, "Yes, I understand."
After she finished speaking, she looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly screamed, "Ah!"
This startled Xu Dafu, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Oh my! Lao Xu, I just realized that one of my earrings is missing. It's the gold earring that Xiaoqi gave me on our wedding anniversary. It was so expensive."
"Did it fall in the bathroom?"
"No way? I'll go look for it."
After saying that, she got up and ran into the bathroom.
After searching for a long time, she came out with a worried look on her face and said, "Oh, no! Lao Xu, can you help me look for it too?"
So, the two of them searched every corner of the room in the middle of the night, but found nothing.
Xu Dafu frowned, "I guess it didn't fall in the room, maybe it fell in the store."
"Oh, it would be fine if it was still at home, but if it fell outside, it would be hard to find it."
"You seldom go out, how could you fall outside?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. This sentence immediately made Liu Cuiyun think of something.
A flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she said to herself, "Oh, could it be that it fell in that store?"
Xu Dafu was a little tired, so he lay back on the bed. "Okay, if you can't find it, don't look for it anymore. Sometimes it's like this when you look for something. The more you look, the harder it is to find. Don't look for it anymore. Maybe it will come out on its own one day."
"Oh, I can't sleep if I can't find it."
"What's the matter with you not being able to sleep? Go to sleep. You have to get up early to open the store tomorrow. Go to sleep quickly."
Having said that, Xu Dafu pushed Liu Cuiyun back onto the bed.
Liu Cuiyun thought about it and finally decided to go to sleep first.
……
That day, Lu Xinyao returned home exhausted both physically and mentally.
During this period, she had been humbly trying to establish relationships with those socialites in upper society, hoping to re-enter their circle and find a way out for herself.
However, no matter how humble she was, people said they would not play with her and just treated her like a maid, ordering her around.
This kind of life is really driving her crazy.
She walked into the kitchen, took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, drank it all in one gulp, and suppressed the anger in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly heard cursing voices coming from Lu Mingfei's room.
Driven by curiosity, she walked over gently and pushed open the half-open door, only to find that Lu Mingfei was playing an online gambling game.
Ever since he became lame and poor, Lu Mingfei fell in love with this opportunistic gambling game and became addicted to it.
Lu Xinyao was so angry that her head hurt, and she asked loudly: "Brother, what are you doing!"
Lu Mingfei had just lost a large sum of money and was filled with rage. He had no place to vent his anger, and Lu Xinyao walked into the trap.
He turned his head away from the computer screen abruptly, his sunken eye sockets filled with resentment. He glared at Lu Xinyao viciously and shouted, "What are you shouting about? You've shouted away all my fortune. Also, next time you come in, can you knock on the door first? Do you know how to respect other people's privacy?"
Lu Xinyao was scolded so harshly that she was completely stunned, but her fighting spirit remained unchanged.
She replied in a cold voice: "Brother, don't think I don't know that you are gambling online. Nine out of ten people will lose when gambling. What is the situation of our family now? Don't you think we are miserable enough?"
"Losing, losing, losing. What are you losing for? I was clearly winning in the last round, but as soon as you came back, I lost everything. You are such a jinx."
"What the hell? You can blame me for this. Are you crazy? Also, where do you get so much money to gamble online?"
Lu Xinyao took a look and saw that the money involved in this bet was not low.
Lu Mingfei waved his hands impatiently and blurted out, "This is the pocket money my mother gave me. What does it have to do with you?"
As soon as he said it, he regretted it completely.
He glanced at Lu Xinyao cautiously, and sure enough, he saw a look of collapse and breakdown on her face.
Lu Xinyao's eyes were red as she yelled, "Pocket money? Where does pocket money come from? How come I don't have any pocket money? Do you know that none of the money you spend now is earned by selling my bags and jewelry? I have nothing left, and you are still gambling here."
Lu Mingfei knew he was in the wrong, so he spoke in a lower voice, "Hey, Yaoyao, don't be so excited..."
At this moment, Zhao Jinhui came back.
She heard the quarrel and walked into the room, saying impatiently, "Hey, what are you quarreling about? The room is so small. When you talk, everyone in the room can hear you. It's giving me a headache."
As she spoke, she touched her newly done hair again.
Lu Xinyao was even more surprised to see her radiant and energetic appearance, and felt very upset, "Mom, you! What do you mean by this?"
Zhao Jinhui also felt a little guilty, "What, what do you mean?"
"We are all women, please don't treat me like a fool, okay? You obviously just got a beauty treatment and a hair treatment. This smell is from the most expensive one!"
Before, when the Lu family was still prosperous, the mother and daughter were regular customers of that beauty salon.
But after the family fell into poverty, Zhao Jinhui told her to be frugal with money, but she herself did not neglect any beauty treatments.
Zhao Jinhui pursed her lips, "Oh! Why are you reacting so strongly? I'm old, and I can't compare to a young girl like you. If I don't take good care of my old face, it will be unsightly. Besides, I don't go there often, but I just went there once today and you caught me red-handed. What's the matter? Do you still want to teach me a lesson?"
Her arrogant and hurtful look really hurt Lu Xinyao's heart.
Her eyes were red with tears welling up in them. She looked at the mother and son in disbelief and said coldly, "Why? You sold my things and you just enjoy yourself here! I am the only one who is hurt in this family, right? Do you really regard me as a family member in your eyes? You are really going too far!"
After Lu Xinyao finished venting, she glared at them coldly, then slammed the door and left.
The sound of the door closing with a bang scared Lu Mingfei and Zhao Jinhui.
The two of them moved in sync and both shivered.
Lu Mingfei was still frightened and whispered, "Mom, what should we do? Yaoyao seems really angry. How about you give her some pocket money to calm her down?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Jinhui snorted coldly, "Don't worry about her. We have raised her for so many years in vain. What's wrong with her sacrificing a little? Besides, where else can that girl go? In the end, she will have to come back here, right? Well, don't make such a fuss. I'm going to go get some sleep."
