At this point, Jin Xuejiao sniffed and rarely showed her vulnerable side: "The doctor said that it would be best to have surgery to remove the tumor. However, this also means that the child may not be saved."

"During that time, my father and mother discussed it many times, and finally they decided to try their luck. My mother felt that since she had done good deeds all her life, God would definitely bless the child." Jin Xuejiao's tone was filled with a hint of sadness and confusion, "But why didn't God bless her!"

Jin Xuejiao's tears flowed down her face. She ordered two more bottles of beer, took a big sip, and continued:

"Until that day, my mother was sent to the hospital because of sudden severe abdominal pain. When my father and I rushed to the hospital, she had already entered the operating room. I stood outside the operating room, praying for the safety of mother and child." When Jin Xuejiao said this, a tear flashed in her eyes.

"The operation lasted for a long time, and the doctor came out to tell us that my mother did not survive. In order to save the child, she chose not to remove the tumor. As a result, the tumor ruptured and caused heavy bleeding..." Jin Xuejiao's voice began to tremble, and she lowered her head, as if she could not face this cruel fact.

"I... I didn't get to see my mother for the last time, she left me just like that." Jin Xuejiao's eyes began to redden, but she held back her tears.

"And that child did not survive due to premature birth and lack of oxygen." Jin Xuejiao's voice became lower and lower, as if every word carried endless pain and sorrow.

Lu Mingjun refilled Jin Xuejiao's beer and said, "Xiaoxue, let the past be the past. Auntie loves her children so much, she must want you to live happily!"

Jin Xuejiao had tears in her eyes, but her smile was still as uninhibited as before: "Xiao Junjun, you are so nice! I have many friends, but you are my favorite!"

Lu Mingjun also laughed: "I don't have many friends. You are my first friend."

Jin Xuejiao waved her hands: "Xiao Junjun, I've figured it out. The old man's money also belongs to me, so why shouldn't I spend it? If I don't spend it, wouldn't it just benefit that idiot Jin Yufang?"

"So," Jin Xuejiao sat up straight and stuck her head out to say, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to see a luxury house? I went back this week and asked the old man for 10 million. Now, I can be your neighbor!"

After hearing this, Lu Mingjun couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the heaviness in his heart was also alleviated a little by this sudden good news.

She joked, "Xiaoxue, you are using me as a shield, using the mansion to shut me up and stop me from talking about your sad things."

Jin Xuejiao blinked and said slyly, "Why, you don't like it? Then I'll find someone else to be my neighbor."

Lu Mingjun waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, I'd love to have that. But, I've booked a house in Blue Bay Villa this week. If you want to be my neighbor, you can only go there..."

Jin Xuejiao smiled confidently and said, "Then I'll go over there and buy the house next to yours. You can take me there to reserve a house tomorrow!"

Lu Mingjun was amused by Jin Xuejiao's boldness and straightforwardness. He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll take you to see the Blue Bay Villa tomorrow. The villa next to mine should not have been sold yet."

Jin Xuejiao nodded and said sincerely: "But, Xiaojunjun, you have a really good vision! The houses in Blue Bay Villa are high-end and have a good reputation! Most importantly, there are only single-family villas over there, and the neighborhood relationship will be very good!"

Lu Mingjun waved her hands embarrassedly. This was not her credit at all, it was all thanks to the system!

Jin Xuejiao changed the subject, looked at Lu Mingjun with ill intentions, and asked directly: "I have said so much, it is your turn to confess!"

Lu Mingjun was stunned, then put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at the boiling hot pot, as if she was looking at herself who was in dire straits in her previous life.

Lu Mingjun smiled and said, "There's nothing I can't tell you. My father died when I was very young, and my mother remarried..."

Jin Xuejiao took over the conversation: "Not good for you?"

Lu Mingjun shook his head: "She must be in love. She wants to sacrifice everything for my stepfather, and she also wants me to sacrifice with her..."

At this point, Lu Mingjun looked directly at Jin Xuejiao: "I rejected my mother's request. I even planned to go back during the National Day holiday to deal with my father's inheritance. Do you think I am heartless? After all, she and my stepfather also raised me up..."

Jin Xuejiao quickly shook her head: "Your choice is right. Everyone has their own life. You just need to give her alimony when she gets old. Don't worry about what she thinks!"

Lu Mingjun thought about it and nodded: "You are right, I should indeed give her alimony!"

Lu Mingjun said this sincerely because she had indeed forgotten about it.

After saying this, Lu Mingjun asked in confusion: "Actually, I still don't understand. I am her biological daughter. My stepsister has no blood relationship with her. Why does she treat my stepsister better than me?"

Jin Xuejiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe, what she needs is a family that belongs entirely to her, a pure home that has nothing to do with your father and is free of the shadow of the past."

Lu Mingjun agreed and said, "Maybe that's the case. Maybe she doesn't love my dad, so she naturally won't love me. She loves my stepfather, so she will love his daughter as well."

Hearing this, Jin Xuejiao reached out and gently patted the back of Lu Mingjun's hand, then shook her head and said, "Xiao Junjun, isn't it enough for you to have me?"

Lu Mingjun: ...

Jin Xuejiao continued to act funny: "Why, you have to be an old woman to like you? I, a young and beautiful woman, am not worthy of liking you!"

Lu Mingjun looked at Jin Xuejiao gratefully, and the haze in her heart seemed to be dispelled by a ray of sunshine. She smiled and said, "Forget it!"

After that, the two laughed again. Jin Xuejiao raised her glass and said, "Come on, dear Xiaojunjun, cheers for our future!"

The two clinked their glasses, and the crisp sound of the collision echoed in the silent night.

The next day, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the two sad stories of yesterday.

Lu Mingjun drove to Jin Xuejiao's residence first, picked up Jin Xuejiao, and went to Blue Bay Villa together.

Along the way, Jin Xuejiao said excitedly: "Wow, a BMW 5 Series, Xiaojunjun, you can do it!"

Lu Mingjun smiled and replied: "As a lawyer, I have to give my clients the impression that I am very successful!"

The two soon arrived at the Blue Bay Villa, and Jin Xuejiao couldn't wait to pull Lu Mingjun into the sales office.

The salesperson almost took a step back when she saw Jin Xuejiao's shining eyes, but her professional ethics allowed her to still maintain a decent smile and greet her.

When Jin Xuejiao saw the salesperson, she immediately said, "I want the villa next door to her!"
