Chapter 29
Lu Zhengzheng was pushing the suitcase forward, when she heard a hesitant "Mom" from behind.

She paused in her steps, and looked back nervously.

Jiang Lingxi was looking down to answer the phone, and did not see Lu Zhengzheng's emotional change at this moment.

After she hesitated to call out the word 'Mom', the person on the other side of the phone tentatively said, "Xixi, are you busy recently?"

"It's okay." Jiang Lingxi paused after replying, "How is your side?"

"This, this side is also good, it's all good, you don't have to worry, just work hard."

"Ah."

A few seconds of silence followed.

A more cautious voice came from there again, "Xixi, tomorrow is the monthly visiting day of the juvenile prison, do you want to come with us to visit your brother?"

Jiang Lingxi could even hear that the woman over there held her breath after asking this sentence, as if afraid of missing her next reply.

"it is good."

The voice from the microphone suddenly became excited, "Then, come here tomorrow morning, let's go together!"

"it is good."

The voice became cautious again, "Then you have a good rest, don't always think about losing weight and skip dinner, it's not good for your stomach..."

Before she could finish her instructions, Jiang Lingxi heard another hoarse man's voice coming from the microphone: "Are you calling Xixi?"

Jiang Wenhui nodded to her husband, couldn't restrain her joy and said, "Just now Xixi said that she will go to see Xiaoxu with us tomorrow."

"I'm not going to see that stinky boy. He keeps a straight face with me every time. You two go tomorrow, and I won't go."

Seeing that her husband was about to walk towards the door, Jiang Wenhui quickly stopped him, "It's time for dinner, why are you going?"

"Go out and talk to Lao Liu about the latest market situation."

"Jiang Runcheng, stop playing sloppy with me, and you're going to drink again, aren't you?"

"You don't have to take care of the men's wine table, go, go to bed early at night and don't have to wait for me to come back."

Accompanied by the sound of closing the door with anger, Jiang Wenhui muttered to herself, "I said that the business is unreliable, why don't you believe it. Drinking and drinking, why don't you drink..." The following words came to an abrupt end , followed by the sound of walking back and forth.

Jiang Lingxi guessed that she might have forgotten that the call with her daughter was still on, so she hung up the phone silently.

Looking up, he met Lu Zhengzheng's nervous and worried eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Zhengzheng let go of the suitcase in her hand, and ran to Jiang Lingxi, "Sister Xixi, you...do you still have dinner?"

To be precise, are you still in the mood for dinner?

Jiang Lingxi was inexplicably asked and nodded, "Of course I want to eat."

Only then did Lu Zhengzheng heave a sigh of relief, "That's good." She didn't need to order takeaway, or go out to eat alone.

The two entered the elevator together.

"Why did you suddenly ask me if I have dinner?"

Lu Zhengzheng lowered her head and whispered back: "Sister Xixi, you used to be in a bad mood every time you received a call from home, and sometimes it lasted for several days. I just heard you call Say mom, just, a little worried."

Jiang Lingxi raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, "It won't happen in the future, don't worry."

"Uh-huh."

After arriving home, Zhengzheng packed her luggage and went to work in the kitchen. After Jiang Lingxi asked her if she didn't need help, she poured herself a glass of water and went to sit on the recliner on the balcony. After drinking the water, she frowned and meditated.

The original body did not leave her with many memories about the family, only a little more than that of Shen Yunqing, she could feel that the original body was deliberately avoiding and ignoring the family.

Of course there is a reason for this.

Three years ago, the original father, Jiang Runcheng, went bankrupt in business and owed a lot of debts. The family also moved from a spacious villa to an old and small residential area.

This is not over yet, because the debts were not paid, the debt collectors chased after the house, some were too much to get the money, and even smashed wantonly in order to vent.

The original brother was only a 15-year-old boy at that time. He was young and energetic, and he was arrogant and domineering. He impulsively stabbed the leader.

The person who was stabbed immediately called the police. Although Jiang Lingxu didn't have to go to jail because he was underage, he was also sent to a juvenile detention center to receive education. It has been almost three years now.

Afterwards, Yuanbang's father wanted to make a comeback, but there were too few examples of him being able to withstand the earth-shaking life gap and successfully making a comeback, and he was not one of them.

Over time, because he was always depressed, he became addicted to alcoholism and went home after getting drunk all day long.

The original mother, Jiang Wenhui, used to be a pampered full-time wife. Now that her husband is drinking and her son is imprisoned, she has no choice but to go out to find a job at an old age to maintain the family's livelihood.

Besides, Yuanshen, three years ago, Yuanshen had just been admitted to university, and she had to give up her studies due to the upheaval in her family. By chance, she joined the entertainment industry, and after earning money with her good looks to relieve the family's burden, she took advantage of the situation to stay down.

But in Yuan Bo's heart, he felt resentment towards his family members.

It can only be said that accidents never give people a chance to prepare.

The originally happy family of four is in disarray, and the warmth of the past is no longer there.

Quietly reviewing Yuanshen's short life of more than 20 years, Jiang Lingxi felt that she understood why Yuanshen developed such a dog-like temper that everyone hated.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and it's a place with little privacy. Originally, with such a terrible family, I feel a little inferior in my heart.

But the entertainment industry is a place that does not allow people to feel inferior, and it is even more difficult to conceal inferiority complex.

Coupled with the forced suspension of studies three years ago.

For a little girl who grew up carefree in this era, these hurdles are really not easy to pass.

Only she can know how many setbacks and difficulties she has experienced.

"Sister Xixi, the meal is ready, come and eat."

Lu Zhengzheng's cheerful shout came from behind him, and Jiang Lingxi recovered from her contemplation, and looked up at the neon lights flashing outside the glass window.

Think of a sentence someone often said: everything will be fine.

*
Jiang Lingxi stood outside the old residential area.

Today is a working day, and it will be the rush hour for work and school again. The crowds in the residential area almost knocked off the sunglasses she was wearing.

When fewer people came out, she walked over the puddles left on the potholes due to the rain last night and walked into the residential area.

"Three Zero Three, here it is."

Looking at the anti-theft door with mottled and peeling paint in front of him, where traces of red paint splashed on it could still be seen faintly, Jiang Lingxi took out the key in his pocket before going out in the morning, and opened the door with some unfamiliarity.

Before I entered, an indescribable smell rushed towards my face, which couldn't be blocked by wearing a mask.

This made her step that was going to lift her foot in couldn't help but pause.

Jiang Wenhui was busy mopping the floor in the small living room, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly looked up towards the door, and when she saw that it was her daughter, a smile appeared on her face, but it soon turned into embarrassment and carelessness, "Xixi came here so early, you stand at the door first, the room smells a little bad, wait until I spray some air freshener before you come in."

Jiang Lingxi took off her sunglasses and mask and entered the house, entered the living room and turned her head to look at the half-hidden bedroom door, and heard snoring coming from inside, "Dad is still asleep?"

Jiang Wenhui didn't see the disgust on her daughter's face, and just now her heart became hot, and she couldn't help turning black when she heard this, and complained in a low voice: "I came back in the middle of the night last night, and I was so drunk that I vomited all over the floor. I closed the bedroom door before going to bed. He was so drunk this time that he didn’t even know how to open the door. It just so happened that I forgot to close the door when I packed your brother’s things last night, so I went to sleep in your brother’s room. I couldn’t do it in the morning. Wake up. Forget it, we don’t need to worry about him, we’re just going to go there today, anyway, every time the two of them meet, they get very stiff, so it’s fine if we don’t go.”

Jiang Lingxi was silent for a while, "Have you eaten yet?"
