Chapter 262: Leaving in an Embarrassment

The two brothers collected Zhao Jianing’s belongings. Zhao Jianing was quite ruthless, aside from the furniture she couldn’t move, she had cleaned out everything in her room.

Not only did she pack up her clothes, shoes, and daily necessities, but she even packed up the bedding from her bed. When the two brothers of the Luo family saw this, they both snorted silently in their hearts.

Luo Siyuan borrowed a tricycle, which was filled to the brim with Zhao Jianing’s belongings. When the residents of the family compound saw this, the brothers did not hide the fact, stating that they were sending Zhao Jianing back to her biological parents.

Luo Siyuan emphasized that they were reluctant to part with her. They even patted the tricycle, saying that the Luo family was righteous. The residents of the compound remarked that the Luo family was very kind-hearted.

Even though they knew Zhao Jianing’s biological parents treated their own daughter poorly, they did not blame their adopted daughter. They feared she might not adapt to rural life, so they brought all her belongings with them.

Luo Siyuan also mentioned, “From now on, Jianing will change to her biological father’s surname, Zhao Jianing. Please don’t mistake it.”

Zhao Jianing’s face was extremely embarrassed. She hurriedly walked away, ignoring people who greeted her, with tears of grievance in her eyes.

Some girls who had disliked Zhao Jianing remarked, “Oh, leaving already? You always looked down on this and that, turns out you’re a fake. Your biological parents are really shameless.

In order to give you a good life, they even swapped out someone else’s daughter. How malicious.”

“Jianing, don’t lose your pride from the city when you return to the countryside. We don’t know when we’ll see you again, and we’ll miss you.”

“Oh, Jianing, you’ve taken all the Luo family’s things. Your parents must really care about you, so many good things.”

“Oh, you even took the bedding. This will make life in the countryside a bit better for you. Deputy Factory Manager Luo and Section Chief Ning are so good to you.”

“Jianing, come back to visit often in the future.”

The voices of people talking behind her were no longer audible to Zhao Jianing, who was now covered in tears. She happened to look up and saw Qiu Shaoyang standing outside the family compound, the boy she had long secretly admired.

A fifteen-year-old girl, Zhao Jianing, had harbored feelings for Qiu Shaoyang for quite some time. The last time she schemed against Ning Lingyu was because Qiu Shaoyang had given Ning Lingyu an ice cream, which made her extremely jealous.

In her frustration, she tried to deal with Ning Lingyu, but didn’t expect to get so badly hurt and lose so much blood.

She thought Qiu Shaoyang was waiting for her, so she wiped her tears with her sleeve and hurried over. “Shaoyang, are you waiting for me?”

Qiu Shaoyang looked at her with some disdain. “You’ve misunderstood. I’m not here waiting for you. I saw what happened that day. Lingyu didn’t push you, you deliberately stepped back and fell.”

Zhao Jianing’s face turned extremely awkward, and her eyes quickly reddened. “You’re lying. That day, only Lingyu and I were upstairs. How could you have seen it?”

Qiu Shaoyang replied, “I happened to be in Dongchen’s room. His window faces the corridor on the second floor of Ning Lingyu’s house, so I could see your actions, but I couldn’t hear what you were saying.

I didn’t expect you, who usually pretends to be so gentle, to actually have such cunning methods. It’s truly eye-opening.”

Just then, someone from afar called out, “Shaoyang, I’m here.”

The person was Yan Dongchen, whom Qiu Shaoyang had mentioned. “Oh, isn’t this our big beauty, Luo Jianing? Oh, no, I heard from people at the mechanical factory that you’re now called Zhao Jianing. Heading back to the countryside, I wish you a smooth journey. Lingyu won’t have to worry about being schemed against by you anymore.”

Zhao Jianing didn’t expect that both of them were supporting that wretched Ning Lingyu. She shouted, “You’re all bastards!”

After yelling, she turned and ran away. Qiu Shaoyang didn’t spare her another glance and turned to Yan Dongchen, saying, “Let’s go. It’s getting late.”

Yan Dongchen, smiling, looked at Qiu Shaoyang. “Zhao Jianing, oh, no, Zhao Jianing has finally left. It was really disgusting having her around, always acting like she was your fiancée.”

Qiu Shaoyang glared at Yan Dongchen. “Don’t say things like that again.”

Yan Dongchen laughed and said, “I understand, understand.”

Once Zhao Jianing had left, she looked back at the direction of the mechanical factory compound and then glanced at the departing Qiu Shaoyang and Yan Dongchen, feeling deeply pained. She was no longer the lofty Luo Jianing.

As she thought about returning to life in the countryside, she felt immense resentment towards her biological parents. Since they had made the decision, why couldn’t they have been more decisive, handled things properly, and dealt with that person sooner?

She didn’t know what kind of life awaited her in the countryside, she only knew that she would no longer be the object of others’ envy.

No, she was not willing to accept this. She vowed to work hard to return and would not forgive those who had wronged her.
