Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 876 - Laughable Love
Lu Jinrong reached out and patted her head. For an instant, he really did feel like his sister had returned.
En, Sister’s back.
After filling out the form, Xia Ruoxin went to take the photo. Before long, her new identification card was out. She would have a new identity: Lu Xiaohua. However, she knew she was Xia Ruoxin. Even if her face and identification card were different, she would always be Xia Ruoxin because Lu Xiaohua did not have a daughter. Xia Ruoxin did.
After completing all the administrative procedures, the people queuing were still outside when they left. Xia Ruoxin could not help but marvel at how the rich people were different. They enjoyed special treatment even for things like obtaining an identification card.
After a few days, her IC arrived. When Xia Ruoxin placed the card in her hand, she felt like she had become another person. She was not Xia Ruoxin; she had become Xiaohua.
She not only had a new identity from that trip. Her wallet also fattened up. Lu Jinrong gave her several cards.
“The cards in here are all credit cards,” Xiao Ma explained, “Each one is under our boss’ tab. You can use them however you like. Young Master Rong had said that Missy’s card has no limit. Besides, Missy will get an allowance each month in cash. It’s here.” Xiao Ma took out a packet from his pocket. It was rather dense.

Xia Ruoxin took it from him and weighed it. Even though she was not sure how much was in there exactly, she knew there was at least fifty thousand. Given the generosity of the allowance, she seemed to be the one who stood to gain in being Lu Jinrong’s sister.
She did not turn some things down because she really did need them now. She had a different identity now. All her old cards were linked to Chu Lui. If she used them, he would know. Even though that was what she deserved, she really did not want to spend any more of Chu Lui’s money. Even more so, she did not want them to know that she was still in the world.
She was not afraid, but sometimes, the most lethal attack was the element of surprise.
After Xiao Ma left, Xia Ruoxin put everything in the drawer. She did not have a use for them now. She did not have to worry about everything while she was in the Lu family home. Food and accommodation were provided, and she did not need to spend money.
“Dad and Mom are coming back.”
Lu Jinrong said after she called her into the study room one day.
“Did you remember what I told you?”
His gaze was directly on Xia Ruoxin. “Remember, don’t give anything away.”
“En, I know.” Xia Ruoxin looked down. She knew this day would come the instant she decided to continue her life with someone else’s identity.
She was using the identity of another family’s daughter so she had to fulfill her obligations. She knew that even without Lu Jinrong’s reminders. Of course, what was clearer to her was that Lu Jinrong was not reminding… but warning her.
If she messed up or was not careful, Lu Jinrong could make Lu Xiaohua cease to exist since he was the one who gave her that identity.
She only knew now that Lu Jinrong and Chu Lui were the same kind of people. They gave their loved ones their all, but they were extremely heartless to outsiders.
Walking back into the living, Qin Xuejuan placed the latest magazines on the table. There were Lu Jinrong’s favorites. More often than not, Lu Jinrong appeared on these.
She had heard about Young Master Rong from Hao Han.
She picked up a business magazine and flipped through it.
Qin Xuejuan stared at her at the side. This was the fourth month since Xia Ruoxin had removed her bandages and become Lu Xiaohua. Qin Xuejuan had been looking at her weirdly since then.
She wondered if it was an appraisal in progress.
However, Qin Xuejuan was still quite nice to her. She made soup for Xia Ruoxin every day. Sometimes Xia Ruoxin wondered if she healed that fast because of Qin Xuejuan’s soup. Even the doctor said that her stomach had healed by half and asked her to keep it up.
Gao Yi told her before— that treatment through food was better than treatment through medicine.
The best cure in life was three meals a day. A reasonable and balanced meal with appropriate exercise. Her legs have not healed yet, but she would walk with Charlie in the yard after she woke up.
When she was in the hospital, she was less than 60 lbs for a 163-cm-tall woman. She was even lighter than a lot of children. Even though she was only about 80 lbs now, she was no longer the skeleton that she was before.
Piak. The magazine in her hand suddenly fell to the floor.
“What’s wrong, Missy? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?” Qin Xuejuan and Xiao Ma called her Missy now. She was not Lu Xiaohua, the long-lost daughter of the Lu family. The real Lu Xiaohua was already dead, but everyone told Madam Lu that Lu Xiaohua was stolen because they were afraid of how she would take it. At the very least, they gave her some hope.
“I’m fine.” Xia Ruoxin picked up the magazine and placed it on her legs.
Man on the twenty-eighth floor, Chu Lui.
The man in the photo was still as familiar as if he had not changed. However, who would have imagined that the man’s worth was enough to get him into the top 100 of the court, a celebrity in the list of the richest people?
Xia Ruoxin suddenly smiled. However, tears were streaming out of her eyes as she smiled. The heavy tears fell to the ground.
She felt cheated. That man used her to win a battle.
He still spoke of love.
It was really laughable.
Yet, she bought it.
She thought that she had run out of tears. Even now that she was smiling, the corners of her lips upturned as tears streamed down her face.
Qin Xuejuan sighed. Even though she knew that Xia Ruoxin was not actually her Missy, she thought of her as so when she looked at that face. She thought of how terrible she would feel if the missy had not died but instead had been treated like this. She was an outsider, and she felt this terrible, not to mention Madam.
Qin Xuejuan did not interrupt Xia Ruoxin. She left the place, leaving some space to the latter.
Xia Ruoxin wiped her tears. She was smiling the whole time. She tossed the magazine on her lap aside and stood up. Charlie ran to her side and rubbed himself against her leg.
Does he want to go out?
Xia Ruoxin bent down and hugged Charlie’s furry body as she curled herself up.
