“What about the second one?” Xia Ru immediately asked.

“The second option is naturally about you and me. We’ll settle this between ourselves. I’ll give you a sum of money. You’ll sign a guarantee for me that you won’t trouble the old master with this matter.”

Hearing that there was money, Xia Ru immediately nodded. “Alright, the second option.”

She couldn’t even afford to buy a train ticket home. Mrs. Lu was willing to pay for it, which solved her problem. As for meeting Old Master Lu and marrying Lu Lin, she could talk about these things later.

What about the guarantee? So what if she broke the contract later? What could Mrs. Lu do to her?

The two of them had their own thoughts. Xia Ru signed the guarantee, and Madam Lu gave her 1,000 yuan. This matter was thus considered resolved.

Mrs. Lu had booked the train ticket for Xia Ru to go home. She had even asked two bodyguards to follow Xia Ru all the way home.

Along the way, Xia Ru was watched by two bodyguards. Even when she went to the toilet, one of them followed her.

Xia Ru finally lost her patience. She lowered her voice and roared, “Can you guys stop following me? Since I’ve already promised your wife that I won’t look for Old Master Lu, I won’t look for him again. Besides, if I go to look for Old Master Lu, you’ll discover me.

“I don’t have the chance to complain to Old Master Lu anymore. You can go back and report your work. I’ll go home obediently and stay right there.”

The security guard’s face was cold, and his expression did not change at all. “I’m sorry, Miss Xia. Our orders are to escort you home safely. If we don’t see you enter the house, we won’t be able to complete our mission.”

Xia Ru was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she could not beat either of them.

When Xia Ru returned home, the door was locked. She frowned and knocked on the door, but there was no movement at home.

“How can there be no one at home? Even if Dad and Mom have gone to work, there’s still Grandma.” Xia Ru muttered and continued to knock on the door. However, there was still no movement from inside.

The two bodyguards were about to leave, but seeing that something was wrong with the Xia family, they chose to stay and observe the situation. After they were done, they reported to Mrs. Lu.

At this moment, the neighbor’s door opened. When she saw Xia Ru, her eyes were still filled with shock.

“Xia Ru, where did you go? Why are you only back now? Who are these two people? They look so fierce.” The neighbor was pointing at the bodyguard beside Xia Ru.

Xia Ru couldn’t be bothered to explain the identity of the bodyguard to her neighbor. She asked directly, “Where is my family? Where did they go? I’m in a hurry to find them.”

The neighbor was surprised. “Where have you been? Haven’t you heard about the big news? Your parents and grandma are in jail, but they’ll be out soon. It’ll be another six days.”

“What? Prison? What did they do? Why did they have to go to jail?” Xia Ru’s voice tore apart the neighbors. She didn’t look like she was pretending, so they all told Xia Ru what Li Jin had done.

Xia Ru clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were fierce. “Xia Wan, it’s you again. You’re so cruel. These are your family. How shameless are you to send them to prison!?”

The neighbor looked at the two bodyguards and then looked at Xia Ru. She asked curiously, “Xia Ru, where have you been? Why are there two bodyguards with you? Did you find a rich man?”

Xia Ru liked to dress up. Previously, she had even gotten into such an argument with Liu Shi. It was obvious that she was usually restless. Now that she had two bodyguards with her, she must have hooked up with some man, from her neighbors’ point of view.

Seeing the malicious intent in the neighbor’s eyes, Xia Ru glared at her. “Auntie, just mind your own family’s business. You don’t have to worry about our family’s business.”

The neighbor scoffed. “Tsk, who cares about your family’s business? Do you think your family’s reputation is very good? If it weren’t for the fact that we didn’t have any extra houses, our family would have moved away long ago. Who would want to be your neighbor? Every day, your family quarrels like a chicken cook. You’re so annoying.”

The neighbor did not deliberately lower her voice. Instead, she deliberately raised her voice by a lot, making sure that her words clearly entered Xia Ru’s ears.

Xia Ru felt angry and wronged. She blamed everything on Xia Wan..
