Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 76, Living Together With a Pampered Ex-Girlfriend When Jiang Xun got up early the next day, Huang Feng'e and Jiang Hai He still hadn't left yet. Since the two had discussed all night last night, they didn't sleep well and yawned again and again. The moment he saw Jiang Xun, Jiang Hai He smiled, "Xiao Xun woke up so early ah." Jiang Xun ignored them and went straight into the bathroom to wash up. Huang Feng'e stared at her in anger, "See what kind of attitude she has?" Jiang Hai He whispered, "Hold it in, remember what we said last night?" Huang Feng'e could only grit her teeth and said nothing. Thinking of this house, her temper really disappeared. "Go make something to eat." Jiang Hai He continued. "Make what? Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lei are still sleeping, aren’t we heading out later?" Huang Feng'e retorted. "For Xiao Xun and Xiao Jing." Jiang Hai He pointed out. "What? I'm not going. If someone has to do it, you’re going." "Did you forget what I told you again?" Jiang Hai He furrowed his brows. Huang Feng'e’s face sank as she grumpily went to the kitchen. After Jiang Xun came out after washing up, Jiang Hai He stepped forward and smiled in kindness, "Xiao Xun, your aunt’s making breakfast for you guys, it’ll be ready soon. You can wake Xiao Jing up to eat." Jiang Xun glanced at Huang Feng'e, who was unwillingly busying herself in the kitchen and would make a loud noise every now and then. Raising her eyebrows, she replied, "No need, the food Aunt makes doesn’t taste good. Xiao Jing and I can’t get used to it." This was the truth. Huang Feng’e’s cooking skills were truly not that great. Every time she cooks, the dishes are always either too salty or too flavorless. Moreover, every time she was perfunctory. She never buys onion, ginger, garlic and such. She didn’t know if it was because she was reluctant to put them in or she just didn’t have that habit. In short, the original owner and Jiang Jing both didn’t like to eat what she made. Before, they couldn’t do anything. If they didn’t eat it, there was nothing else to eat nor could they say it didn’t taste good, so they just kept holding it in. When sometimes Jiang Xiao would say how the food didn’t taste good, Huang Feng'e would roll her eyes. Then she would slam down her chopsticks and begin to curse. Afterwards, the next meal would be even more unpalatable. This caused not only the original owner and Jiang Jing to dare not say anything, even none of their own family members dare to say that Huang Feng'e's dishes didn’t taste good. Therefore as soon as Jiang Xun said what she said, Huang Feng'e went crazy. She didn’t even turn off the fire on the stove before she rushed out of the kitchen after tossing away the spatula, “If it's not good, just don’t eat it. You even dare to complain, I'm not making it anymore. " Jiang Xun smiled, "Okay." Huang Feng'e was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, while her eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire. "Xiao Xun, you this… … you’re going to be hungry if you don’t eat." Jiang Hai He wasn’t happy either, but he still pretended to be caring. "I won’t get hungry, Xiao Jing and I will go to the restaurant downstairs to eat." After Jiang Xun finished speaking, she knocked on Jiang Jing's door to wake him up. Huang Feng'e and Jiang Hai He looked at each other, their faces were very ugly. However, thinking of the plan they discussed last night, they could only endure it. When Jiang Xun woke Jiang Jing up, she went downstairs to have breakfast with him. By the time they came back, Huang Feng'e and Jiang Hai He had already gone out. Jiang Xun spent the morning reading and then made something to eat at noon, not caring about Jiang Xiao and Jiang Lei. After receiving Gu Qiao's call, she headed out to the law firm. When she returned yesterday, she sent a text message to Gu Qiao to express her gratitude. And just like that, Gu Qiao had her phone number. Arriving at the entrance of the firm, the front desk recognized her and proactively said, "Hello, Lawyer Gu said that you can directly go in and look for him. He’s in the office." Jiang Xun nodded and entered the office. Seeing that female assistant from yesterday, she seemed to be rather busy. Jiang Xun smiled at her. The female assistant was very happy and winked at her. Knocking on the office door, Gu Qiao's voice came from inside. "Come in." Jiang Xun pushed open the door to walk in. Gu Qiao was currently on the phone. When he saw her, he nodded and motioned for her to take a seat first. Within two minutes of Jiang Xun's sitting down, Gu Qiao finished the call. Walking towards her with a stack of documents, his face wasn’t very pretty. "I’ve already checked. The specific amount of your parents' previous bank deposits is unknown, but I had a friend to inquire about it. They said that your parents bought the wealth management fund, so the minimum amount should be at least four hundred thousand yuans whereas the car accident compensation along with the insurance compensation is also four hundred thousand yuans. This money, excluding your medical and your parents’ funeral expenses, should still have seven hundred thousand yuans remaining." This was more than Jiang Xun expected. Gu Qiao said, "Your uncle and aunt probably have already transferred all the money to a card under their own name. I also did some research, your uncle and aunt's previous financial situation wasn’t that good. It can even be said to be extremely tight. But this year not only did they change cars, but their consumption level seems to have increased significantly. It seems they’re using the money your parents left behind." "But they said that my parents only left several thousands and have all been used up." Jiang Xun's face turned pale as she exclaimed in shock. Gu Qiao couldn’t bear to see her like this. He stated in a deep tone, "That’s them lying to you. Don't worry, Uncle will help you." Jiang Xun lowered her head. "As long as you want, you can file a lawsuit with the court any time now. When the court investigates everything, you’ll soon be able to have your uncle and aunt's family move out as well as return the money to you." Gu Qiao said. "Can we wait for two days? The day after tomorrow is when students report to school. I have to head back to go through the resumption procedures and to take the exam. If I file a lawsuit now, I’m afraid it’ll be troublesome." Gu Qiao thought for a while, "Then I will file a lawsuit right after you finish reporting." "Eh, thank you Uncle Gu. But, what if they refuse to move?" Jiang Xun worried. "You can rest assured that the court will have them move out within a time limit, and even if they don't, the court will force them." "But, how long is the deadline?" Jiang Xun asked. "One to two weeks," Gu Qiao answered. Who knew what Jiang Xun thought of that caused her brows to furrow and her expression ugly? "What's the matter?" Gu Qiao asked, "Are you afraid of them making trouble?" "En, my aunt is more fierce. I'm afraid she will be too agitated when she learns of this and will lash out. My brother and I have been scolded many times before." Jiang Xun sighed, "Then I’ll bring my brother out to live once the lawsuit is filed. We’ll stay at the hotel for the time being and go home when they leave." Gu Qiao objected, "How can this work? You and your brother are both in school. Plus, it’s not safe to live in a hotel either. If they are forced into a corner, they might follow you guys to school. It will be troublesome if anything happens." Jiang Xun’s face turned bitter, a little at a loss. Gu Qiao looked at her and thought: No matter how sensible she looks, she’s still a child and she will inevitably not know what to do when such things happen. He thought about it, "How about this, you guys stay at my house. Your brother and you can move over. When things are over, you guys can go back. In my family besides me, there is only my son. He’s in college and usually only comes back on weekends. Besides, my home is very close to your school. My son used to bike around ten minutes to school." The more Gu Qiao talked, the more he felt that this approach was feasible. "This... … this won’t be proper. We caused you too much trouble and you've already helped a lot. If Mom knows, she’ll blame us for bringing you trouble." Jiang Xun quickly said. "What's the trouble? I have plenty of rooms in my house. It'll be no problem to fit the two of you and it’ll definitely be safer and more convenient than you guys living at a hotel." Gu Qiao reasoned. "But… …" Jiang Xun still hesitated. "There’s no buts, it’s settled. Go back to discuss with your brother, then the day after you report, I’ll come to pick you guys up. I’ll also take the time to inform your uncle and aunt about some legal knowledge, so that they’ll be psychologically prepared." Gu Qiao insisted. "Eh, I understand, thank you Uncle Gu." Jiang Xun nodded, her eyes were red as if she was about to cry. Gu Qiao felt that Jiang Xun must have suffered a lot of grievances this year. When he thought of Jiang Xun’s mother, he was very emotional and became even more determined to handle this matter to the end to prevent this child from being wronged again. This could also be considered him repaying what he owed to her mother. "Let's go, I'll drop you off." "Okay." Jiang Xun lowered her head and rubbed her eyes. When Jiang Xun came home, it was time for dinner. She opened the door and walked in. Seeing her, Jiang Hai He said with a smile, "Xiao Xun is back, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. Your aunt and I ordered some takeouts from a restaurant, these dishes are all your favorites. Xiao Jing is reading a book now. I called him to eat, but he wanted to wait for you to come back before eating. Why don’t you go get him?" Jiang Xun glanced at the table. It was indeed full of dishes and looked pretty good. There were ribs, chicken and fish, which were all decent dishes. By this time Jiang Jing should be hungry. She knocked on Jiang Jing's bedroom door and said softly, "Xiao Jing, it's me." Jiang Jing quickly opened the door, "Sister, you’re back." "Eh, come out for dinner. After eating, Sister has something to tell you." "Okay, they called me for a long time, but I said I would wait for you to come back." Jiang Jing said. "Eh, go wash your hands." At the dinner table, Jiang Hai He and Huang Feng'e appeared hesitant to speak. Him looking at her and her looking at him, both wanting the other to speak first. Jiang Xun just pretended she hadn't seen it. "Xiao Xun, didn't you say you want to return to high school?" Jiang Hai He said. Jiang Xun remained silent. Jiang Hai He felt a little awkward, but continued to say, "Your aunt and I decided to support you and not force you to go to that nursing school." "Oh." Jiang Xun's reaction was beyond their expectations. Shouldn't she be extremely surprised and happy? On the contrary, it was Jiang Xiao who wasn’t happy. "Dad Mom, that’s not what you said before! Why did you guys change so suddenly?" Huang Feng'e gave her a glare, "Don't interrupt us." Jiang Xiao snorted and glowered at Jiang Xun, "So annoying, once she goes back, nothing good will happen." "It's already been a year since that incident happened, who will remember that?" Huang Feng'e's face was also not pretty. "Humph!" Jiang Xiao's expression was unhappy. "Cough… …" Jiang Hai He coughed twice, hinting them to stop talking. "Xiao Xun ah, look, your brother and you are both in a No. 1 Experimental School. The tuition isn’t cheap and so is Xiao Xiao. We also have to pay ten thousand-ish a year for Xiao Lei’s school. Your aunt ah, also don’t have a job while I only have so much salary. We really can’t afford it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have disagreed with you before about going back to school. You have to be considerate of us. Jiang Xun buried her head in the meal without raising her head, turning the table’s atmosphere awkward. Since Jiang Xun didn't respond even when Jiang Hai He spoke a bunch, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How did this Jiang Xun become like this? She’s not even responding the slightest to him. Watching this happen, Huang Feng'e looked impatient. She directly cut straight to the point, "We just sold our old house a few days ago to buy a shop and invested all our money into it. What your uncle and I mean is that we can’t afford supporting four. If you insist on going back, we can only think of other ways… …" Jiang Xun finally had a reaction. She set down her chopsticks, "What other ways?" "We want to use this house as a mortgage for a loan. The loan won’t be much, just a hundred thousand yuan and will be paid off in two years. It's just that the house is your name. If we want to make a loan, we have to borrow it under my name so it will be me in the future to repay… …" Jiang Hai He said while he tentatively peered at Jiang Xun. "Don't worry, as long as we get the loan, we will be able to pay your tuition. Now loans can be borrowed quickly, but we have to do it early. Aren’t you starting school soon? I am afraid it might be too late then." Huang Feng'e said with a smile, narrowing her eyes. Since Jiang Xun didn't speak, they couldn't figure out her intent. However, they were sure that she definitely wanted to go to high school.
