Chapter 491 Lu Jiangting Discovers Fang Qing's Secret
Where did he get the money? He's never worked before, so where could he possibly get money from?
Besides getting it from Fang Qing, where else can we get it?
But why did Fang Qing keep giving him money?
For the past few months, has Fang Qing been paying his rent?
Yang Guangzong is already divorced, so why hasn't he gone back to his hometown?
Lu Jiangting was usually busy with work and didn't think about it too deeply.
Upon reflection, it's not just wrong, it's downright wrong.
Looking at the time, Lu Jiangting realized he still had time to get to work, so he went directly to Fang Qing's workplace to find her.
Sister Zhao was kind to Fang Qing. Seeing that Fang Qing was pregnant and had a hard time, she always volunteered to do the heavy work, letting Fang Qing just sweep the floor slowly. Sister Zhao did all the work of carrying the garbage.
Upon seeing Lu Jiangting from afar, Sister Zhao nudged her, "Fang Qing, your man is here."
Fang Qing was somewhat surprised, but after saying a few words to Sister Zhao, she put down the broom and walked towards him.
"Jiang Ting, what brings you here?"
Lu Jiangting handed her the breakfast he was holding.
Fang Qing was touched and said, "Why did you buy this for me? It's a waste of money. I'll be off work soon, and I'll cook dinner when I get home."
That's what she said, but Fang Qing still sat down on the steps by the roadside and started eating breakfast, even praising it a few times, saying it was delicious.
Lu Jiangting looked at her quietly for a moment, then asked, "Does Yang Guangzong have some kind of leverage over you?"
Fang Qing was taken aback; the steamed bun in her hand suddenly didn't smell so good anymore.
"Jiang Ting, why do you ask that?"
"I heard that Yang Guangzong has been spending lavishly lately, and someone even saw you contacting him privately. If I'm not mistaken, the money Yang Guangzong is getting is from you, isn't it?"
*Smack!* The steamed bun fell to the ground.
Lu Jiangting turned his head to look at her.
Fang Qing panicked for a moment and hurriedly bent down to pick up the buns.
It was a little dirty, but that didn't matter. She brushed off the dust and continued eating.
However, this eating was not a joyful one; it was swallowing with tears in my eyes.
Lu Jiangting frowned slightly.
"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."
After saying that, he got up to leave.
Fang Qing panicked and grabbed his sleeve.
"I said, I said."
"Okay, you say."
Fang Qing wiped away her tears and whispered, "About the time you hit him, he said he was going to sue you and get rid of your job. The only way he won't stop is if I find him a job or give him a wife. Otherwise, he'll keep harassing me. I had no choice but to lend him money in order to stop him from suing you."
After hearing this, Lu Jiangting rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Sue him, let that bastard sue him. He thinks he can get rid of me over something like this? Does he think the military region is his private property?"
Fang Qing blinked. "Is...it alright?"
Lu Jiangting was too lazy to explain to her and asked directly, "You were threatened by him because of this?"
"I...yes."
"You're so stupid," Lu Jiangting said angrily. "You're forced to lend him money and pay his rent for such a trivial matter? Are you out of your mind?"
Fang Qing was speechless for a moment.
Lu Jiangting added, "Don't give him any more money. If he dares to ask for it again, just report him to the police for extortion and send him to jail for free."
Fang Qing dared not, but she dared not refuse Lu Jiangting either, otherwise Lu Jiangting would definitely guess that there was other leverage over her.
She could only nod slightly, trying to get through this for now.
Lu Jiangting checked the time; it was too late to cause trouble for Yang Guangzong.
Let's talk about it tomorrow; he has to go to work first.
After getting off work, Fang Qing went to find Yang Guangzong and angrily shouted, "Hey Yang, let me tell you, if you keep living like this, you'll starve to death when you run out of money."
Yang Guangzong said with a faint smile, "Isn't there you here?"
"I won't give you any more money; you've already drained me dry."
"Haha, no money? If you don't have money, I'll just ask Lu Jiangting for it." He stared at Fang Qing's belly and laughed, "Such a big secret, let me see how much it's worth to Lu Jiangting."
"How dare I mention Lu Jiangting? Let me tell you, Lu Jiangting has already begun to suspect that you have some kind of leverage over me."
Yang Guangzong laughed gleefully, "Oh, you must be so anxious."
"Stop gloating here. If my affairs are exposed, I won't have an easy time either, and I won't let you have an easy time either. I'll fight you to the death."
"Hey, don't be afraid. Don't worry, as long as you obediently give me the money, I'll keep it a secret."
Fang Qing gritted her teeth angrily, "Lu Jiangting might come looking for you, so you better keep your mouth shut. If this gets out, you'll be sorry."
Yang Guangzong didn't take Fang Qing's threat seriously at all, but he certainly wouldn't reveal Fang Qing's affair.
He still wants to use this secret to blackmail Fang Qing.
The secret has been exposed, Fang Qing is finished, and no one will give him money anymore.
Fang Qing guessed correctly; that very day, Lu Jiangting went to see Yang Guangzong after get off work.
Lu Jiangting pushed him into the house and then closed the door with his heel.
"How much money did you get from Fang Qing?"
Yang Guangzong: "What do you mean, ask Fang Qing for money? I didn't take any."
Lu Jiangting punched him, and before he could react, he grabbed him by the collar, raised his other hand, and pulled out a knife, which he held to Yang Guangzong's neck.
Lu Jiangting threatened, "You won't talk? Believe me or not, I'll bleed you today."
Yang Guangzong felt like he had the worst luck in the world. He used to be the one beating others up, but now that he was here, he was getting beaten up every few days.
That's why he felt it was only right for him to take Fang Qing's money; it was all compensation she owed him.
"Hey, you can't just use a knife like that, you're breaking the law."
Lu Jiangting sneered, "You know it's illegal? Extorting the family members of public officials, don't you know that's illegal?"
"I... this isn't my fault. I was doing fine back home. Fang Qing said she'd bring me here to find a wife. I didn't have money for the trip, and she even helped me sneak in without a ticket. She brought me here, so she has to take responsibility."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Fang Qing said that Yang Guangzong begged her to help him find the way, didn't she?
Forget it, he couldn't be bothered to find out which of the two was telling the truth and which was lying.
He simply said, "Now that we've found it, why aren't you going back to your hometown?"
Yang Guangzong said, "Although I found a wife, she's divorced me now. I can't bring her back. How can I face going back to my hometown?"
"So you mean you're not going back now?"
Yang Guangzong said with distress, "I can't go back now. I brought all the money my family has to come here and promised my parents that I would bring Ye Xiaotong back. Now I can't take her back, and I've accomplished nothing. I'll have to slink back to my hometown. Where am I supposed to put my face?"
