After washing the bloodstains on his body by the mountain stream, Xiao Luo and Ji Siying went back. Before going back, Ji Siying used the privilege of NSA and asked the county police to rush to Luo Mountain overnight and secretly dispose of Luo Mountain's body.
The family didn't notice because Xiao Luo and Ji Siying entered the room together, then turned the TV to the maximum and left through the window.
It was the same when they came back. Whether it was his grandparents or Xiao Zhiyuan and Hua Heying, they all thought that Xiao Luo and Ji Siying were making out in the room. Especially when the two came out of the room, there were obvious signs of vigorous exercise. Xiao Zhiyuan and Hua Heying looked at each other and smiled. The latter also quietly gave Xiao Luo a thumbs up.
Xiao Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The misunderstanding had deepened.
The New Year was very lively. The master's altar was beating gongs and drums for three days in a row. Every household posted new couplets and hung red lanterns. The children wore new clothes. Everywhere was full of laughter and a festive atmosphere.
"You should have some regrets that you didn't spend the New Year in your own hometown."
Standing on the roof of the third floor and watching the people of Luo Village setting off fireworks, Xiao Luo smiled and asked Ji Siying next to him.
Her soft straight hair hung in front of her chest, slightly covering her charming face that was flushed with drunkenness. Her delicate and clear facial features were lively and seductive. Ji Siying's figure belonged to the typical pretty girl of a small family in Jiangnan. It was not exaggerated, nor was it thin. Her shoulders and cheeks were just right, and her breasts and buttocks were full and restrained. She was like a hibiscus that emerged from clear water, naturally carved, and exuded a pure and elegant aura.
She shook her head, and suddenly there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes. "I don't have a hometown." When Xiao Luo turned his head and cast a puzzled look, she added, "I grew up in a welfare home."
Xiao Luo stared at her for a while and said, "I'm sorry!"
"It's alright …"
Although she said it was fine, Ji Siying's expression became very gloomy. The smile on her face became very forced and her eyes became misty. This was her most vulnerable side. Everyone had parents, but she didn't even know what her parents looked like. Looking at her Xiao Luo family celebrating the New Year together and even watching the Spring Festival Gala together, she didn't know how envious she was.
She wished so much that she had grandparents who loved her and gentle parents. Even if she had to exchange ten years of her life, she would agree without hesitation. She had wondered more than once if her biological parents had abandoned her because she was a girl.
"Mr. Xiao Luo!"
"Hmm?"
"Can I lean on your shoulder?"
Usually, Ji Siying wouldn't have dared to be so bold, but at this moment, during the New Year, when her family was reunited, her sadness was magnified to the extreme.
"Sure." Xiao Luo nodded.
Ji Siying leaned on him gently and could no longer hold back the fragility of her heart. She sobbed softly.
Xiao Luo didn't speak, nor did he reach out to pat her on the back to comfort her. He just stood quietly and looked ahead calmly. Many fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed in the night sky. They were colorful and beautiful.
… …
… …
On the evening of the fourth day of the New Year, Ding Zhenyun, the eldest aunt's son, suddenly sent a message: "Cousin, lend me two thousand yuan. It's urgent. Please!"
Xiao Luo frowned. Although the relationship between the two cousins had always been good, Ding Zhenyun had never borrowed money from him. Moreover, he was a young man in his early twenties. Even if he was in urgent need of money, his eldest aunt would help him. Suddenly, he borrowed money from him. Things were indeed a bit abnormal.
Perhaps he was really anxious. Ding Zhenyun called directly: "Cousin, are you rich? Lend me two thousand yuan first. I need it urgently."
After confirming that it was Ding Zhenyun's voice, Xiao Luo immediately agreed. After hanging up the phone, he directly transferred two thousand yuan through WeChat.
But a few days later, Ding Zhenyun called again and asked, "Cousin, can you lend me some more money?"
This time, Xiao Luo was a little puzzled: "What are you doing? How much do you want to borrow this time?"
"Ten thousand."
"Ten thousand?"
"No ten thousand, five thousand is fine. Cousin, please help me." Ding Zhenyun pleaded in a good voice.
Xiao Luo felt that something was wrong: "What are you going to do?"
"Oh … Cousin, to tell you the truth, I have a project in mind. As long as I invest thirty thousand yuan, I can get it back in half a year. After half a year, I will start to make money. I have already collected twenty thousand yuan, and I still need ten thousand yuan. If you are rich, please help me." Ding Zhenyun said.
Pyramid scheme?!
These two words immediately appeared in Xiao Luo's mind and he asked, "What project?"
"It's to develop a program for the billing system for high-speed rail and buses. It's too complicated to explain in a short time, but I'm sure it's very profitable. My friend has already driven a Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and he often goes to the clubhouse to buy young models."
Ding Zhenyun seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and he was quite excited. "Cousin, do you want to invest a little? The more you invest, the more you will get back. If you can invest one hundred thousand yuan, you can turn it to three hundred thousand or even four hundred thousand yuan next year. You are my cousin, so I will tell you that this can make a lot of money."
Xiao Luo was sure that this kid was brainwashed. Any investment was risky. There was no such thing as a 100% profitable project: "Zhenyun, where are you now?"
"I'm in Xiahai." Ding Zhenyun said.
"You didn't go home for the New Year?" Xiao Luo was surprised.
"I go home every year. This year, I experienced it outside. I have to work hard to earn money to honor my parents. I just didn't go home for a year. After I buy a car, I will go back every year."
Xiao Luo shook his head and sighed, "If you don't go home, your aunt must be very worried about you."
"I'm already in my twenties. I'm no longer a child. What's there to worry about? Cousin, let's not talk about this. You can lend me five thousand yuan first. When I make money, I'll pay you back immediately." Ding Zhenyun seemed a little impatient.
"I can lend it to you, but you have to come back first. There is a direct train from Xiahai to our city. It will take you eight hours to go home." Xiao Luo made a request.
Ding Zhenyun said, "Cousin, I'm busy here. I don't have time to go back for the time being."
"When you come back, I'll help you look at the project proposal. If your proposal can impress me, I'll invest one hundred thousand yuan here." Xiao Luo threw out a big temptation.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Ding Zhenyun promised, "Okay, I'll be back tomorrow."
After ending the call, Xiao Luo immediately called his aunt Xiao Jianying and told her about Ding Zhenyun.
