Chapter 124 Grapefruit leaves and red rope

Author: Xuan Shiyi

Two taxis, one behind the other, stopped at the gate of the juvenile detention center almost at the same time.

Jiang Lingxi looked over and saw Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng getting out of the taxi in front, and raised her feet to greet them.

Shen Yunqing followed her, and when she got there, she waited for Jiang Lingxi to finish calling her parents, and then also called her uncle and aunt.

Jiang Wenhui responded with a smile, her face full of joy.

Seeing that her son would be coming home soon, and that her daughter and son-in-law were loving and harmonious, she was so happy that she almost wanted to cry.

Jiang Runcheng tried his best to maintain the dignity of the head of the family, and his face, which was a little red due to his recent drinking, also softened, "Yun Qing, you are so busy and you came here specially."

"It should."

"Let's go in." Jiang Lingxi greeted, but halfway through turning around, the corner of her eye happened to catch a figure getting out of another taxi, and her figure froze.

Shen Yunqing was the first to notice and immediately followed her gaze.

When he saw the thin figure wearing a white school uniform, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Somewhat familiar.

The next second, Jiang Lingxi shouted: "An'an."

Shen Yunqing took a breath.

Xu Lingan was even more panicked after being called.

When she got off the car, she didn't notice that there were some people she knew around not far away, until she was called by a familiar voice. She subconsciously looked over and met her sister's gaze.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she jogged forward and said, "Sister."

After being surprised just now, Shen Yunqing has regained her usual composure. She only looked at the little girl who looked like Princess Jin'an in front of her with a little unnoticeable scrutiny. However, Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng began to be surprised. .

"Xiao Xi, when did you get a younger sister?"

Even their parents don’t know!

"I recognized it myself." Jiang Lingxi simply explained. Now she was more curious about why the girl in front of her appeared here, "Today is Tuesday, you are not in school, why are you here?"

"I, I'm here to pick you up." Xu Ling'an said and carefully looked at Jiang Lingxi's expression. Seeing that she didn't show anything strange, he continued to explain, "I have a brother next door who accidentally injured himself while trying to save me. Today is the day he will be released from the juvenile detention center."

Jiang Lingxi wanted to ask her what kind of danger had happened. It was serious enough to be sent to a juvenile detention center. It was definitely not a trivial matter, but this meeting was obviously not the time to talk about this. "It's just right, let's go in together."

Xu Lingan looked at the three people who were sizing her up and hesitated, "Is sister here to pick someone up too?"

"Well, I came to pick up my brother. He is also out of the juvenile detention center today. By the way, these are my parents, and this is..." When Shen Yunqing was introduced, Jiang Lingxi paused.

If Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng were not here, she could still call them friends, but now that they are both here, she had no choice but to honestly admit someone's identity, "Shen Yunqing, I am the target!"

Shen Yunqing tried hard to maintain the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but turn up.

Xu Ling'an's little mouth was open enough to fit an egg into it.

It wasn't until she was patted on the shoulder by Jiang Lingxi that she suddenly came back to her senses. She bowed politely to Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng first, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Xu Ling'an."

Then she looked at her sister's partner and said, "Sister, how are you, brother-in-law?"

After Shen Yunqing heard the name, he became more and more aware. Although he still didn't know how the two knew each other, it didn't stop him from feeling that the brother-in-law's call was particularly beautiful, "Hello."

After you submit your identity certificate at the gate, a staff member will go in and notify you.

After a while, the five people waiting at the gate saw two figures walking side by side.

Jiang Wenhui couldn't wait for her son to approach and shouted: "Xiao Xu!"

Jiang Lingxu's pace towards the gate suddenly quickened, and Xu Lei beside him followed closely, "Look, my sister is here too, the one in school uniform is her."

Jiang Lingxu had no choice but to look away and met a pair of crooked eyes. He was stunned for a moment and then his eyes fell behind Jiang Lingxi.

When he entered the juvenile detention center, his sister was not married yet and did not even have a boyfriend.

Until half a year ago, his mother came to visit him, and the first thing she said was that her sister had received the certificate, and she didn't even have a wedding, she just got married in a low-key manner.

Speaking of which, they consider each other's brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and this is the first time they have officially met.

But with a brother-in-law like him, someone as wealthy as my brother-in-law should feel embarrassed!

Jiang Lingxu paused when he thought of this, but soon Xu Lei grabbed his arm and started running all the way, "Why are you still lingering? Don't say you are still nostalgic for this rotten place!"

"I didn't!"

It’s just that I’m shy about being close to home!

After patiently listening to the staff's last instructions on the theme of 'Be sure to abide by the law when you go out', Jiang Wenhui looked at her son and called her "Mom" while standing in front of her, instead of being unable to touch him through the thick glass.

, one of them burst into tears if he couldn't hold it back.

"My Xiaoxu!"

Jiang Lingxu was a little embarrassed and stiff at first when his mother cried and hugged him in front of his father, sister, brother-in-law, but when he noticed the dampness and heat on his shoulders, he realized that his vision was also blurred.

"Mom, I am ignorant and I have made you worry."

Jiang Runcheng patted his youngest son's shoulder heavily and said, "Just come out."

Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Lingxu were not the only ones crying. Xu Lingan also started to sniffle when he saw the scar on Xu Lei's head that was almost as long as a finger, "Brother Xiao Lei, grandma was also coming, but she was here a few days ago.

My headache came back, and the doctor refused to discharge me."

"Why did grandma come to pick me up at such an old age? If you didn't insist on coming, I wouldn't want you to come. Is grandma feeling better now?"

"Much better. Where are you, Brother Xiaolei?"

"I'm fine. It doesn't matter who I am. Who can bully me?" Xu Lei said with a confident face. He looked at Xu Ling'an crying and then smiled, and then pointed at Jiang Lingxu who was still crying in Jiang Wenhui's arms.

, "No, I also met a buddy in there, and we happened to come out together this time."

After Jiang Wenhui vented her anger, she finally remembered the business. She took out a grapefruit leaf branch from her bag and patted her youngest son. She muttered: "All bad luck will be gone, all bad luck will be gone..." and she patted Jiang Lingxu all over.

Just give up.

When he was about to put it back in the bag, he saw the two brothers and sisters on the side, "Girl An An didn't bring this, did you need this from me? Grapefruit leaves will remove bad luck."

Xu Lei was about to shake his head and refuse, because he didn't want to be stupid and get slapped all over his body by this thing.

But she didn't allow him to refuse. Xu Ling'an had already walked over and shouted "Thank you, Auntie" and took the grapefruit leaf branch.

He had no choice but to open his arms and let Xu Ling'an pat him back and forth, shouting "all bad luck is gone".

"You are still in high school, do you believe this?"

Xu Ling'an just pretended not to hear and patted him all over.

Jiang Lingxu only felt that his whole body was now filled with the fragrance of grapefruit leaves, "Is there no other ceremony?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a delicately woven red rope appeared in front of him, "Wear the red rope to get rid of bad luck and bring good luck, and you will be safe and happy in the future."

Jiang Lingxu's eyes followed the slender fingers holding the red string and slowly moved to his brother-in-law standing next to his sister. He always felt that this scene was more like an illusion.

"Brother-in-law?"

Is this the rich brother-in-law that his mother mentioned? Nothing wrong, right?

"Well, hold out your hand."

Jiang Lingxu stretched out his hand mechanically, watched helplessly as the red rope was fixed on his wrist, and moved his mouth, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

"You're welcome."

As soon as Jiang Lingxi looked away from the red rope, she met Jiang Wenhui's gaze: What did you two prepare?

Jiang Lingxi: Can she say that she doesn’t know when this person prepared it?
