“It’s real. I only told someone to place the set-up nicely. As long as the other party was not someone who wanted to see your body dead or alive and wanted to test your DNA even if your corpse was rotting, they won’t be able to tell anything. So you don’t have to worry. Now, you’re already dead.”
Suddenly, Lu Jinrong smiled, and the teeth exposed looked just like a vampire’s. Actually, Xia Ruoxin felt that he really should not smile. He was just like Chu Lui; once they smiled, someone was bound to be in trouble.
Now, she could not be in any more trouble.
She brought the newspapers to her face. It turned out that she looked just like that back then. It was pretty ugly and kind of weird. As for the current her, did she still look like a ghost?
However, to the outsiders, it was still the same. Should she not let anyone else see her face for the rest of her life?
Gently, she caressed her face, and even with the gauze, she could still feel that her face was uneven. Actually, even if he did not do any of this, no one could recognize who she was anymore.
Lu Jinrong threw the newspapers away and looked at her nonchalantly with his arms crossed.
Xia Ruoxin lifted her face and met with his eyes. They were clear and simple, and she could see the bottom in one look. Other than gratitude towards him, there were no calculations at all.
One could not deny that people like Lu Jinrong and Chu Lui had crawled out from the fox den and had seen too many complications and calculations so they preferred simpler things.
“What’s your name?” Lu Jinrong pulled a chair over and sat with his legs folded. Other than the stink of money all over the body of this type of man who rolled around in piles of money, there was also his self-sustained extravagance.
Xia Ruoxin pointed at her throat. Her throat had been burned so she could not talk.
“Ah…” She opened her mouth, and it was still hoarse. It was not too unpleasant, but when people heard it, they would be very uncomfortable.
“Don’t talk anymore.” Lu Jinrong extended his hand to caress her cut hair.
“Your face will get better, and so will your voice. Trust me, I’ll find the best doctor to heal you.”
“Thank you.” She mouthed.
“You’re welcome.” Lu Jinrong stood up. These few days, he had been interacting with her in that way so he kind of knew what she was saying.
“Rest well. We’ll be going overseas in a few days.”
Xia Ruoxin gently moved her lips and buried her face into the pillow. She could not say anything and did not want to. Not long later, Qin Xuejuan came over. She made another big pot of soup for Xia Ruoxin.
For this whole pot of soup—as long as Xia Ruoxin could drink a small bowl of it, it would not be a waste already. Up till now, her throat and her stomach still could not be too agitated; and she could not eat too much food.
Qin Xuejuan took a small bowl and scooped some soup for Xia Ruoxin, but she asked Lu Jinrong a question.
“Rong’er, what’s her name?” She could not continue going on without a name. A human should have a name—even if it was a nickname; at least they would know what type of person they were.
“This…” Lu Jinrong also did not know. When he brought her over, no one knew who she was. Even after she woke up, she could not talk; and it seemed like she was not very willing to say her previous name.
“You have a name?” He walked over and put his face close to Xia Ruoxin’s. However, he could only see her eyes and not her face.
Xia Ruoxin nodded. She had a name. One would have a name since birth. Just that she was not willing to mention her name again.
“You’re not willing to say it?” Lu Jinrong asked again.
Xia Ruoxin lightly nodded her head.
“Oh, so it’s like that.”
Lu Jinrong thought for a while. “Since you don’t want to say it, then we’ll just take it as you’ve forgotten it. I’ll give you a name, and you can take my last name. Is that okay?”
Xia Ruoxin looked up and nodded again. Yes, she would just take it as the old her was dead. Besides, in some people’s hearts, she was already dead, was she not?
“Um…” Lu Jinrong thought for half a day. “Why don’t we do this? You can follow my last name ‘Lu’, and your name will be Xiaohua. Lu Xiaohua… this name was not bad.”
Xia Ruoxin did not feel much towards this peculiar name. Actually, even if she was called ‘dog over’ or ‘dog egg’, it would not matter. After Lu Jinrong opened his golden mouth, her name—Lu Xiaohua—had been set.
Qin Xuejuan was stunned for a while before she smiled gently and placed the bowl in front of Xia Ruoxin.
“I can’t believe our Young Master Rong still remembers the name Xiaohua. He had not mentioned this in a long time.”
Xia Ruoxin took the spoon and drank the soup herself while Qin Xuejuan continued to talk. Perhaps there were some unspeakable emotions. When the memories that had been sealed for some time were brought up again, one would discover that it had actually happened a long time ago.
“Actually, Rong’er was not Mr. and Mrs. Lu’s only son. Actually, when he was about seven, Madam had given birth to a girl who was quite pretty. However, that girl had a bitter life since birth, and Rong’er always called her Xiaohua. He hoped that she could really become like a flower and blossom every year. Just that, before Xiaohua could bloom, she fell sick and left.
“Sir and Madam were always upset, especially Madam. Up till now, she still missed Xiaohua. If Xiaohua was still around, she would be more than twenty years old and as old as you.
“Now, Rong’er is pretty generous to give you this name.” However, this was good, and Qin Xuejuan felt comforted. Perhaps towards the child’s untimely death, not only Mr. and Mrs. Lu… but even Qin Xuejuan could not get past it.
The only princess in the family was obedient and mature since young. Everyone treated her like the apple of their eyes; if anyone were to hurt her, it was impossible they would be happy and unhurt.
Xia Ruoxin drank a mouthful of the soup. It was light and warm; when she swallowed it into her throat, it did not burn it. This time was much better as she did not vomit. However, she could only drink this much as even if she drank another bowl, she still would have vomited it out.
Her body was recovering, but it was not easy for this severely-injured body to fully go back to normal. Her pair of legs needed half a year, and the surgeries she needed to undergo were not just one or two. Every single time, it would be painful to no end. Every single time, it would be a fresh start.
“We’re leaving.” Lu Jinrong bent down and wrapped a scarf around Xia Ruoxin’s neck. The doctor had said that it was best if the injuries on her face did not come into contact with the sun.
