CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: THIRTY HOURS ON A STANDING TICKET

"Don’t you want me to go with you?" Song Jiajia looked at Lu Hao, her gaze probing.

Lu Hao raised his voice a bit: "What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just worried that if you leave, there’ll be no one to take care of my grandma and the others."

Song Jiajia said unhappily, "Isn’t Lu Ting still here?"

It’s to avoid that old thing, that’s why she wants to go with Lu Hao even more.

Lu Hao: "I’m mainly worried that if you come with me, I won’t be able to take good care of you."

Song Jiajia said while packing: "It’s okay, I’ll take care of myself."

Seeing Song Jiajia’s unyielding attitude, Lu Hao was frustrated.

"What about the money?" Song Jiajia didn’t know when she had walked up to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao looked panicked, tidying up the quilt: "What money?"

"The money my dad gave you, give it to me, I’ll buy the tickets tomorrow." Song Jiajia worried that Lu Hao would pretend to comply but not buy the tickets for her.

"Why would a woman buy tickets? The station is so crowded and dangerous; I’ll buy them." Lu Hao said.

Hearing his concern for her, Song Jiajia’s expression improved considerably.

She sat down beside Lu Hao: "Alright, then you must buy two tickets. Once we have them, we’ll leave."

Song Jiajia wrapped her arms around Lu Hao’s waist, her voice softened.

Lu Hao looked impatient but still said, "I know."

"Brother Lu, believe me, you will definitely succeed, and by then, we’ll have made it big. Those who look down on us will definitely regret it."

Determination flashed in Song Jiajia’s eyes.

Lu Hao didn’t understand why Song Jiajia was so confident in him.

But as a man, his vanity was indeed satisfied.

His face also looked much better: "Alright."

Song Jiajia’s hand reached into the man’s chest.

Lu Hao’s gaze darkened, and with a swift turn, he pressed her down.

In no time, they were naked and facing each other.

Ten minutes later, the man left the person below him, satisfied.

Song Jiajia gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with unfulfilled desire. It was always like this; just when she felt nothing, it was over.

Seeing a doctor is a must!

...

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really have to go? Haozi, you haven’t left me all these years. Just want to leave, and you’re going?"

Liu Fenglan held Lu Hao’s hand, full of reluctance.

"Grandma, I’ll be back soon, don’t worry." Lu Hao was also out of options.

He didn’t want to leave. Who knows what dangers are out there?

But if he didn’t leave, how could he replace the money he spent?

A third of the money given by Song Zhenhua had been spent on lavish meals with the factory people.

If he had to return it, it would surely be discovered.

"Where are you going?" Liu Fenglan asked.

"Shenzhen."

"Why go so far? If something happens on the way and we’re not there, what do we do?

Can’t you just not go?" Liu Fenglan cried, her face covered in tears.

"Grandma, believe me, I’ll be back soon." Lu Hao could only comfort Liu Fenglan like this.

Once he left, he could pretend the money was stolen or lost.

By the time he returned, Song Zhenhua couldn’t do anything about it.

"Alright, we can go now." Song Jiajia came out from the house with a suitcase.

"You bitch, aren’t you the one making my Haozi go to Shenzhen, doing some business? How did I let Haozi marry such a troublemaker like you?!"

Liu Fenglan couldn’t bear to scold her grandson and had to vent all her anger on Song Jiajia.

Being scolded right after stepping out, Song Jiajia didn’t spare her, "Old woman, what are you saying? Who are you calling a bitch? Don’t think I won’t do anything to you!"

"Look, look, is this how you talk to your elders?" Liu Fenglan’s hand trembled with anger.

Lu Hao also looked at Song Jiajia with displeasure: "What are you saying?"

"Lu Hao! She started it!" Song Jiajia shouted loudly.

Lu Hao: "What’s wrong if Grandma says a few words to you as an elder?"

Liu Fenglan leaned against Lu Hao, a look of smugness in her eyes.

Song Jiajia frowned, not wanting to get too entangled with them: "Let’s go."

Liu Fenglan held onto Lu Hao: "Haozi, can’t you do business somewhere else? Why not in Sea City?"

"What business is there to do in Sea City? If there were business to do, we wouldn’t be in this situation." Song Jiajia said disdainfully.

"What do you mean by that? Believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Liu Fenglan pointed at Song Jiajia.

Song Jiajia didn’t want to argue with the old crone, so she picked up her suitcase and left directly.

"I’ll wait for you outside!"

Lu Hao patiently placated Liu Fenglan: "Grandma, I’ll come back soon, and bring you nice things, okay?"

"But I’m worried about you." Liu Fenglan held onto Lu Hao’s hand.

"It’s okay, Grandma, I’ll take care of myself; time is running out, I have to go."

Lu Hao said quickly and then ran out.

Liu Fenglan watched Lu Hao’s disappearing figure and sat down to cry.

One moment worrying about Lu Hao, the next cursing Song Jiajia.

Lu Jianguo came out from the inside and couldn’t help but say: "Didn’t Haozi say he’ll be back soon? Why are you crying?"

Liu Fenglan snapped at Lu Jianguo: "What do you know!"

Lu Jianguo looked at Liu Fenglan’s ungrateful attitude, sighed, and went back inside.

Liu Fenglan sat in the yard wailing for quite some time.

Then she shouted toward the left house: "Lu Ting, you little brat, why aren’t you coming out to work?"

Lu Ting shuddered at Liu Fenglan’s voice and quickly said: "I’ll be right there, Grandma."

...

"You go buy the tickets, I’ll watch the luggage here," Song Jiajia said.

Lu Hao nodded: "Hmm."

After a while, Lu Hao came back with two tickets: "There are only two standing tickets left for an hour later."

"Standing tickets?! How long do we have to stand?" Song Jiajia’s voice was sharp.

"It says thirty hours."

Song Jiajia was almost infuriated: "I told you to go early, but no, now it’s thirty hours, how long do we have to stand?"

Passersby cast their eyes on the two of them.

Lu Hao felt that those eyes were mocking him.

Suddenly, his tone also turned angry: "Why are you shouting? If your dad hadn’t suddenly told us to leave, we wouldn’t only have standing tickets. Take it or leave it."

After throwing a standing ticket at Song Jiajia, Lu Hao huffed his way toward the station.

Being scolded by Lu Hao left Song Jiajia looking rather displeased.

But she blamed it all on Sang Yu.

If it weren’t for that slut Sang Yu, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

Song Jiajia clenched tightly onto her ticket, grabbed the suitcase, and hurriedly followed Lu Hao.
