Chapter 467 gave her an opportunity.
When Lu Jiangting returned that evening, Lu Cong asked him the real reason why he hit Yang Guangzong.
Lu Jiangting stammered.
Lu Cong's heart sank when he saw his expression.
Don't you know your own son?
Fang Qing is probably telling the truth.
"You did this for Lin Yuyao?"
Lu Jiangting jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "That son of a bitch, I'm going to find him."
"stop."
Lu Cong felt the pressure rising within him. His son was usually very civilized, so why was he so angry that he was swearing?
"Are you really doing this for Lin Yuyao?"
"I..." He stammered, essentially admitting his mistake.
Lu Cong took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.
He suddenly realized that with all these daily events, he might not even live for two more years.
The doctor said that if he takes good care of himself, he could live for another ten or eight years, but he doesn't even dare to think about it now.
"How could you be so foolish, Jiang Ting? You weren't like this before."
Yes, he wasn't like this before. He was provoked by Fu Huaiyi that day, and that's when he did it.
Thinking back over the years, he really hadn't done anything for Yuyao. He said he was good to her, but it was all just talk; he never actually did anything about it.
He had to stand up for himself; he had to do this for her.
He told Lu Cong his thoughts, and finally sighed, "Father, in the end, I am the one who has wronged Yu Yao. Doing this for her makes me feel much better."
Lu Cong slammed his fist on the table in frustration, “That brat Yang Guangzong really deserves to be beaten. I have no objection to you beating him for Yuyao’s sake, but you… but how could you be so stupid? Couldn’t you have found a way to beat him up secretly?”
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I heard that just two days before you hit him, he was beaten by someone else, and he didn't even know who it was. Look at what others did, and look at what you did. Jiang Ting, how could you be so stupid?"
Lu Jiangting was speechless after being told off by his father.
This time, not only Lu Cong criticized him, but even Wang Cuilan, who usually couldn't bear to say a word to him, said, "If you were doing it secretly, you wouldn't have left any evidence for him to use against us. Ten yuan, that's ten yuan! We have to pay ten yuan every month."
Lu Jiangting clenched his fist and said, "I'll go find him right now. We can't afford to pay these ten yuan."
"Hey, hey, you're kidding me." Lu Cong stopped him and said, "Don't bother with this. Compared to your reputation and your job, ten yuan is nothing. You need to learn your lesson and not be so reckless in the future. Let's pay his rent for a month first and then figure out a solution later."
This is the only way for now; he can't think of a better solution.
Lu Jiangting still listened to his father and had no choice but to agree.
After the two elderly people had fallen asleep, Lu Jiangting planned to go back to his dormitory to sleep, and Fang Qing hurriedly followed him.
Today is a great opportunity; if we miss it, who knows how many more days we'll have to wait.
She could wait, but her belly couldn't; it had to be as soon as possible.
Lu Jiangting: "Go back to sleep, you still have several hours before work."
"Jiang Ting, I have something to say to you."
"Well, tell me."
The streets were quiet, and there was no sound from the surroundings. A few houses had their lights on for some reason.
"I booked a room at the hotel up ahead."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
“We’ve been married for so long, and Lin Yuyao has been married for so long too, I didn’t expect you to still put her first.”
“I don’t put her first. I just feel that I wronged her because of what happened between you and me back then, and I should do something for her. Don’t overthink it.”
Fang Qing nodded. "I know, but outsiders don't. Do you know how upset I was when Yang Guangzong mocked me for not being able to control my man and said that you were having an affair with Lin Yuyao?"
Lu Jiangting clenched his fists, cursing Yang Guangzong inwardly.
"Tell me, if Yang Guangzong goes around spreading rumors that you and Lin Yuyao have an ambiguous relationship and that you beat him up because of Lin Yuyao, what will the neighbors say?"
Lu Jiangting's expression changed drastically; he now had to admit that his father was right when he said he was stupid.
He didn't think so much at the time, but now that he thinks about it, if he had actually gone and made a fuss about how he hit Yuyao, given the storytelling skills of those old ladies around him, he doesn't know how awful they would have made it up.
His intention was to help Yuyao, not to cause her trouble.
"It was my fault," Lu Jiangting said, softening his tone.
Fang Qing then said, "Do you know what the older folks say about us?"
Lu Jiangting was usually not at home, so he was unaware of the neighbors' gossip.
"How to say?"
“They said we don’t seem like a couple because I left as soon as you came back. They suspect I have a lover, Yang Guangzong. Now Yang Guangzong has gone to clarify that he’s a relative of ours. When Lin Yuyao and your affair is exposed, people will definitely suspect you have a lover.”
Lu Jiangting's expression changed. "Shut up. Don't say things like that."
"You can control my mouth, but can you control the mouths of the elderly?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Jiang Ting, if we have a child, all the problems will be solved."
Lu Jiangting looked at Fang Qing in surprise.
Fang Qing wiped away her tears and said, "Didn't we agree that we wouldn't talk about the past and would look forward? You have no idea how much I regret aborting that child."
I dream of him every night, telling me he wants to come back. Jiang Ting, don't you want to see him? He wants to come back. You are his father. Don't you want to give him a chance to come back into this world?
Whether out of pity for the unknown child or to dispel rumors and protect Lin Yuyao, he agreed.
……
Today, Lin Yuyao went to the city center to run some errands and passed by the large market.
I figured Pan Xiaohua should be back by now, so I planned to give her the things Fu Leyi had asked me to bring last time, and also talk to Fu Leyi about it when I went to the Fu family home later.
Since she had made up her mind to visit the Fu family today, Lin Yuyao even prepared some food to take with her.
When they arrived at the market, they found that the Pan sisters' shop was closed.
Lin Yuyao asked her neighbor, "Excuse me, do you know why the Pan sisters didn't open the door?"
“You two, the older sister said she went back to her hometown to take care of something, but she hasn’t come back yet. I heard from her younger sister that something seems to have happened to her sister, and she’s going to find someone to help her.”
Lin Yuyao's heart skipped a beat.
The neighbor added, "She was still open yesterday, but she must have gone to find someone to help her today. If you want to find her, come tomorrow."
If Pan Xiaohua gets into trouble, who can Pan Xiaocao turn to for help?
The only person she could find here was Sister Leyi, who had probably gone to the Fu family.
Lin Yuyao quickly drove to the city to run errands. After finishing her own business, she went to the Fu family to find Fu Leyi.
Sure enough, Pan Xiaocao was there.
Fu Leyi wasn't there; it was Zhang Fangfang talking to Pan Xiaocao.
Upon seeing Lin Yuyao, they stopped talking and looked at her.
"Yuyao is here, come and sit down quickly."
