Chapter 175 -164 Zhao Siyi Gets Fired (1)

Lu Jiajie looked dejected as he spoke to Lu Jiaguang, “Third Uncle has been in the hospital for more than half a day and no one from his work has come to visit. Big brother, Third Uncle says he’s fine, but is he really okay?”

Last year, when Third Uncle had gastroenteritis, the hospital was filled with a constant stream of visitors for the three days he was there. And now? Not a single person has shown up.

Lu Jiaguang assured him that since everyone had left, it must mean that there was nothing wrong, “Third Uncle is getting on in years, and they wanted him to retire last year, but he managed to hold his position because of his own maneuvering. Now that Ding Jing’s bribery has been confirmed, Third Uncle definitely has to retire.”

There’s a saying: out of sight, out of mind. People from his work understand that he has to step down, and they aren’t sure if Ding Jing’s case will implicate him, so naturally, they dare not visit.

Lu Jiajie cursed under his breath, “They’re all a bunch of opportunists.”

However, Lu Jiaguang felt that it was human nature. In an unclear situation, it’s best to wait and see to avoid implicating oneself. It’s not like they’re loners without families, people naturally need to be cautious with their actions. Once it’s confirmed he’s not in trouble, someone from work will surely come to visit.

When they returned to the ward, Lu Jiaguang asked his wife to leave, “You go out, I need to talk to Third Uncle.”

Lu Hongjun had a stroke caused by extreme anger. He was brought to the hospital just in time for a chance at rescue. However, the doctor advised that he must rest in bed, and he couldn’t even get up to go to the toilet or eat; he had to wait for the hematoma in his brain to dissipate before he could move.

Wang Xiaojie stood up and softly reminded him that Lu Hongjun could no longer be agitated, or else his condition would worsen. If it did, he could be at risk of another stroke.

Lu Jiaguang nodded, indicating he understood, and waited for her to leave and close the door before speaking softly, “Third Uncle, the evidence against that woman is conclusive, she can’t escape; you should divorce her.”

He never called Ding Jing ‘Third aunt’; he always referred to her as ‘that woman’.

Lu Hongjun knew that if he said he didn’t want a divorce, both of his nephews would have objections. He said, “If I divorce her now, she will definitely cling to me and make accusations. Even if we divorce, we have to wait a few years until things settle down.”

At these words, Lu Jiaguang felt relieved, worrying that he couldn’t let go of that wicked woman, Ding Jing! If Third Uncle didn’t divorce her, there was no chance of reconciliation between father and daughter.

Lu Hongjun asked, “Just now, Jiajie was saying, Siyi, she… she got involved with someone at school and ended up pregnant? She even had an abortion, is this true?”

He knew Lu Jiajie very well, with such a serious matter, he wouldn’t tell Third Uncle fearing disbelief, but he would definitely tell his elder nephew.

Lu Jiaguang nodded, “It’s true, the child was Fan Yinuo’s.”

Lu Hongjun’s eyes flashed with anger, “Weren’t they broken up?”

“That was just to appease you and that woman. In reality, the two of them were often secretly meeting. But only you were kept in the dark about the abortion; that woman knew about it afterward and even helped her take time off to stay home and recover from the miscarriage.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Hongjun remembered that Zhao Siyi had come home for a half-month in March before going back to class. She had told him it was a twisted ankle, which was heavily wrapped, and having seen Zhao Siyi’s pale face, he didn’t think much of it, assuming the wound was too painful. After all, no one pretends to have a broken leg!

“Yes, it happened in March,” Lu Jiaguang confirmed.

Lu Hongjun smiled bitterly, “I had no idea, she was always guarding against me.”

The woman had her motives when she married him, how could she possibly confide in him! Not telling him must have been because she was worried that if he thought Zhao Siyi was not self-respecting, he would stop caring for her.

Lu Jiaguang looked at him and said, “Lu Jiaxin found out that woman collected evidence of Kang Tongtong’s father abusing his power, accepting bribes, and bullying his subordinates. She coerced Kang Tongtong into tricking her back to their hometown alone, saying that you’d be anxious and upset when you discovered she was missing, and by the time she returned, you would treat her better.”

“What did you say, it was Kang Tongtong?”

Lu Hongjun nodded, “I had people check on Yang Jun, but I overlooked Kang Tongtong. However, her father was reported in April and has been arrested, sentenced to eighteen years.”

“Is it Jiaxin?”

Lu Jiaguang nodded and said, “Jiaxin made the anonymous report. That was right when I was vying for that position. Jiaxin was worried that reporting that woman would affect my promotion, so she endured in silence.”

Now, he didn’t have much of an advantage in that position; it took a great effort from Lu Hongjun for him to be promoted. If Jiaxin had reported at that time, it wouldn’t have involved him at all.

Lu Jiaguang said, “Third Uncle, stop blaming Jiaxin. She almost lost her life in Ancient Capital and suffered so much; there’s no way she would let Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi off the hook. Not to mention Jiaxin, I wouldn’t let them off either.”

“But she also had someone investigate me.”

Lu Jiaguang was stunned, but he quickly said that was impossible.

Seeing his disbelief, Lu Hongjun said angrily, “She said it herself.”

Lu Jiaguang still shook his head: “Third Uncle, those were words spoken in anger. This girl is sentimental, not only caring about me but also promoting Lu Jiajie and Lu Jiazong. Even if she’s somewhat dissatisfied with you, she would never personally send you to jail.”

Seeing that Lu Hongjun didn’t relent, Lu Jiaguang said, “Third Uncle, if someone were secretly investigating you for over six months, would you not notice it? Jiaxin is so smart; how could she not know that?”

This convinced Lu Hongjun. If someone had been investigating him, he would have gotten wind of it, and he wouldn’t be so passive now. After such an incident, even if it turned out he was innocent, it was impossible for him to return to his position, as the higher-ups would definitely want him to step down.

Lu Jiaguang said, “Third Uncle, after things settle down, you should divorce that woman! She’s not pure of heart. If you don’t divorce her, we won’t dare to interfere in the future.”

Now that his own daughter was already ignoring him, if even his nephews became estranged, he would truly have no one to rely on in his old age.

Lu Hongjun said, “Once this blows over, I’ll find a suitable opportunity to divorce her.”

Zhao Siyi hated Lu Jiaxin to the core, but after her last experience being beaten up for picking a fight, she didn’t dare to confront her rashly this time. The people in the family housing complex were pointing fingers at her, which she didn’t want to face again, and Ding Jing was not allowing her any visits.

With nowhere to turn, Zhao Siyi finally went back to school.

Three days later, Zhao Siyi suddenly ran to Radiance Road, madly pounding on the door: “Lu Jiaxin, you bitch, come out here… ”

Qian Xiaoxiao pinned her to the ground with a single move.

The onlookers were all startled and their perspective of her changed, not expecting this girl to be a martial artist. Because of this, none of the onlookers spoke out.

Even though she was pinned to the ground, Zhao Siyi’s mouth didn’t stop: “You bitch, how can you be so vicious? You harmed my mother, and now you’re slandering me.”

“Slap, slap, slap…”

Qian Xiaoxiao’s slaps flew left and right, and Zhao Siyi’s face instantly swelled up significantly.

Lu Jiaxin asked with interest, “I’m slandering you, then tell me, are you not unwed and pregnant, or did you not have an abortion?”

The news of the unwed pregnancy was so explosive that the onlookers all regarded Zhao Siyi with disdain, seeing her as a girl from a good family who lacked self-respect.

Zhao Siyi would never admit it, and she accused Lu Jiaxin of fabricating lies to defame her: “Lu Jiaxin, you’ve ruined me like this, you won’t die a good death.”

Lu Jiaxin was not the least bit scared: “Rest assured, I will definitely live a long life, a hundred years with blessings of wealth, happiness, longevity, and prosperity. On the other hand, you and your mother will live like rats in a sewer.”
