Chapter 94: 93. A Strange Cousin (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

Liu Hui also didn't know what to do; she never expected that this job, which looked so excellent and had been promised so well during the interview, would actually turn out to be a trap.

They had come to the big city of Shanghai full of anticipation, thinking they had found a good job, but who would have thought they would now be swindled out of every penny, and not only that, but each of them also owed twenty thousand yuan.

"Liu Hui, didn't you say you had a cousin in Shanghai? Why don't we go rely on her first? At the very least, we need to eat a full meal; I haven't eaten anything for a whole day." After crying for a while, the girl on the right no longer had the strength to cry and thought of the most realistic problem.

Listening to her classmate, Liu Hui couldn't help but rub her stomach; she hadn't eaten for a day either.

"Alright, I'll make the call right now." Under the premise of not wanting to tell her family about this, contacting her cousin Liu Lu was the best method for now.

The call was connected quickly, "Cousin, it's Xiao Hui."

"Yes, I've come to Shanghai."

"I'm at..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Hui went into a daze again; she really had no strength left and didn't even want to move.

Actually, Liu Hui had originally planned to wait until her own job was stable before contacting Liu Lu; she also knew that Liu Lu wasn't very wealthy, and the whole family had their own jobs and things to keep busy with.

Therefore, Liu Hui didn't want to add trouble to her cousin.

Speaking of this cousin, Liu Hui didn't know what to say.

Before she went to university, she always felt that her cousin Liu Lu was the idol in her heart.

In order to marry her beloved boyfriend, she didn't hesitate to have a huge row with her family, even nearly severing ties.

This was simply the scene of a young girl's dreams.

Until now, although Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng would go back before the New Year every year, they would only stay for one day, and her parents didn't give them any good looks either.

At that time, she didn't understand the thoughts of her second uncle and second aunt; Liu Hui had always believed, wasn't marrying for love the best outcome?

But when she started her internship in her senior year, Liu Hui experienced the hardships of life and gradually began to understand the feelings of her second uncle and second aunt.

Although Liu Hui wasn't very clear about how Liu Lu had been living these years, she knew that life was definitely not very good, just from the fact that they hadn't been able to buy a car after working in Shanghai for so many years.

In fact, Liu Hui felt a bit of heartache for her cousin; her personality was so good, and she was pretty, yet because of love, she was still living so miserably to this day.

Her relationship with her cousin Liu Lu had actually always been quite good, but ever since Liu Lu got married, their contact had become less frequent.

Liu Hui and Wu Xin just sat there in a daze; neither of them wanted to talk at this moment, not because they had nothing to say, but because they were too hungry to have any strength.

Half an hour later, a MINI stopped in front of them. Liu Hui and Wu Xin looked over subconsciously and discovered a beautiful woman they didn't recognize getting out of the passenger seat, and Liu Hui subsequently lowered her head.

But very quickly, she discovered two figures standing in front of her, and at the same time, she heard a familiar voice, "Xiao Hui."

Liu Hui looked up and saw a woman who was very familiar, yet somewhat strange.

She was familiar because this face was that of her cousin Liu Lu, and she was strange because Liu Lu looked very different from the impression she had of her.

In the past, when she went home for the holidays, she had seen Liu Lu; at that time, Liu Lu always wore outdated clothes, the price of which wouldn't exceed two hundred yuan, and her whole outfit combined would be five or six hundred at most, and that was only when she was visiting relatives.

But what about Liu Lu now?

Although she couldn't tell what brand her clothes were for the moment, she could tell at a glance that they were very expensive; her hair and makeup were both very exquisite, and at first glance, Liu Hui hadn't recognized her.

"Cousin?" Liu Hui called out subconsciously.

"What? You don't recognize me anymore?" Liu Lu said happily.

Liu Lu liked this younger cousin who had followed behind her since she was small, but because they had each grown up and she had her own family and children, their contact had gradually decreased.

"Cousin, is it really you?" Liu Hui rubbed her eyes again.

"If it's not me, who else could it be? By the way, why are you sitting here?" Liu Lu asked.

Liu Hui just wanted to speak when her and Wu Xin's stomachs growled at the same time, and immediately, both of them had somewhat embarrassed looks on their faces.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? Come, Cousin will take you to eat. Who is this?" Liu Lu asked while leading the way.

"This is my classmate and roommate, Wu Xin," Liu Hui introduced.

"Hello, Cousin," Wu Xin also hurriedly greeted her, while simultaneously observing Liu Lu and Ning Qing quietly.

Very quickly, Wu Xin became somewhat surprised; not to mention Ning Qing, even the clothes and shoes on Liu Lu were worth a fortune.

Didn't Liu Hui say that her cousin wasn't doing very well?

Is this considered not doing well?

After the four of them got into the car, Liu Lu didn't know where to drive for a moment; she rarely went out shopping and wasn't very familiar with this area.

Ning Qing saw this and said with a smile, "Sister Lu, I'll give you directions; I know a restaurant that's quite good."

When Liu Lu began to drive according to the route Ning Qing pointed out, Ning Qing looked at the two people in the back seat and smiled, "Hello, my name is Ning Qing, I'm a friend of Sister Lu; you can just call me Ning Qing."

Liu Hui and the other girl weren't so ignorant as to call someone by their name directly, "Sister Qing."

"Sister Qing, how much is this car? It's so beautiful," Liu Lu said full of envy; for young girls like them who had just graduated, this kind of car was a dream car.

Ning Qing pointed at Liu Lu and said, "This is her car, you should ask her."

"Huh?" Liu Hui was subconsciously stunned; she might not have much of a feeling for clothes, but cars were different.

"Cousin, this is your car?" Liu Hui couldn't quite believe it.

When she went back last year, Liu Lu and Zhang Sicheng were still looking poor and shabby; how did they buy such a good car this year?

"Yeah, I just bought it yesterday." Liu Lu wasn't someone who liked to show off, but for some reason, facing this younger cousin, a feeling of wanting to show off suddenly welled up in her heart when she said these words.

In fact, Liu Lu had always known that she was the negative example for their whole extended family; many of her aunts, uncles, and elders would use her to educate their children.

Liu Hui was a bit distracted, but quickly asked, "Did Brother-in-law buy this for you?"

She was now suspecting that her cousin wouldn't have...?

Liu Lu said, "No, it was bought for us by your brother-in-law's father; both your brother-in-law and I have one."

"Huh?" Liu Hui was confused again; she seemed to remember that her brother-in-law Zhang Sicheng's parents had passed away long ago, right? How did a father suddenly pop up?

"It's quite a complicated matter, and I can't explain it clearly in a moment. When there's time, I'll tell you about it in detail. You just need to know that he is your brother-in-law's biological father. We're here, let's go eat first." Saying this, Liu Lu parked the car and then followed Ning Qing toward the restaurant.
