"Okay, I understand. Dad, you're just too easygoing, that's why Fang Qing can manipulate you. Watch me, I'll make Fang Qing obediently take Chenchen back to apologize to you."
Although Lu Jiangrong made a boastful promise, they didn't take it to heart.
Whether we can get the person back to admit their mistake is a minor matter; let's first make sure they're alright.
After agreeing on a time for their next phone call, Lu Cong hung up.
Lu Jiangting then said to Lu Cong, "Dad, if we snatch Chenchen, we can't touch the child support money the organization gives him."
Lu Cong nodded and said, "I know. Save it for him and give it to him when he grows up. I said that just now to persuade your sister. Your sister is not a bad person; she's just worried that you'll suffer."
"I know."
It was lively outside today, and since his son had a rare day off, Lu Cong asked him to help him walk around.
While strolling around outside, they unexpectedly ran into Fang Qing's boss.
The other person called him to a stop.
"You're the one from Fang Qing's family, aren't you?"
Lu Jiangting: "May I ask who you are?"
“My surname is Liu, and I’m Fang Qing’s supervisor. Here’s the thing, Fang Qing took leave to go back to her hometown, and we haven’t given her her year-end bonus yet. Wait here for me a moment; my house is upstairs, and I’ll bring it down for you.”
"Hey……"
Lu Jiangting wanted to say that he wouldn't take Fang Qing's things, but before he knew it, Director Liu had already jogged away and disappeared around the corner.
He could only help Lu Cong wait here.
Director Liu returned quickly, carrying a bag of rice, a bucket of oil, and two handfuls of noodles tucked under his arm.
"These are all New Year's benefits, take them."
Lu Jiangting thought he would keep it for now and return it to Fang Qing when she returned.
They're getting a divorce and living separately; he doesn't want her things.
However, after receiving the gifts, Lu Jiangting suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Director Liu, do you usually distribute gifts as well?"
"usually?"
"Yes, when do you usually send out the items?"
"We give out zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival, mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and these are the only things we give out during the Spring Festival. We don't give out anything at other times."
Lu Jiangting's heart skipped a beat. "Not giving them out? Haven't you ever given out cigarettes before?"
"Give out cigarettes?" Director Liu laughed. "What kind of unit are we? We're lucky if we get some rice and oil. How could we possibly give out cigarettes? We've never given out cigarettes before."
You never offered a cigarette?
Lu Jiangting's mind was filled with the fact that he had never offered a cigarette.
Of course, Lu Cong, who was shrewd enough, took it to heart.
The two returned without saying a word and sat there silently.
After a long silence, Lu Cong finally said, "Fang Qing bought those cigarettes on purpose. They weren't for your brother-in-law; her goal was to entice me to smoke them."
Wang Cuilan, who was standing next to her, wiped away her tears and said, "What a vicious woman! She thinks your father is a burden and wishes he would die soon."
Lu Jiangting clenched his fists, his eyes red as if he were possessed.
……
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they called both sets of parents.
This year, without Fu Huaiyi and Fu Yatong, the old man felt that much of the fun was missing, and said that he would come to visit them when he had time.
Ye Lian continued to chatter about her family, and later she also mentioned her sister-in-law's family.
According to tradition, married daughters should return to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. However, they had a feud with their sister-in-law's family. Ye Lian said that they were not allowed to go back tomorrow, and that she would take her whole family back to the Ye family to visit her grandmother.
After chatting for a while, Lin Yuyao hung up the phone when she heard a knock on the door.
The door opened, and there was Yi Yunshuo.
He was spending the New Year alone here again, and Yi Yunshuo was closest to Fu Huaiyi, so naturally he would come to visit him during the New Year.
"Brother Yi, Xiao Lin, I'm bothering you again."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's no bother. I'm actually happy you came."
"Really? Comrade Xiao Lin is much better. I don't think Brother Yi looks that happy."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"So much nonsense."
There was another knock at the door, and Lin Yuyao said, "It should be Sister Song and the others."
Song Qin had a falling out with her family. She wasn't going home for the New Year or visiting relatives, so she arranged to spend the holiday with Lin Yuyao and her family today.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Song Qin and Ye Xiaotong.
Why is Chen Bingzhi following behind them?
"Yuyao, Happy New Year."
"Happy celebration, everyone come back quickly. You're already here, why did you bring anything?"
Song Qin smiled and said, "It's just a small gift, it's a token of my appreciation."
After they came in, Chen Bingzhi followed them in and greeted Fu Huaiyi naturally.
They knew each other since childhood, but after growing up, they went their separate ways and pursued their own futures, gradually drifting apart.
We have many overlapping friends, so we can still chat quite a bit.
The three of them chatted in the living room while Song Qin and Ye Xiaotong followed Lin Yuyao up to the roof to get the groceries.
There's a special vegetable basin on the roof to keep the vegetables fresh, and Lin Yuyao even grows some herself.
"Why is Chen Bingzhi still here today, it's the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Song Qin: "I don't know, I came very early this morning."
do not know?
Lin Yuyao noticed her evasive gaze and felt something was off.
Song Qin added, "He said he told his family he was going out to meet a friend. If he had said he was coming to see your Fu Huaiyi, his family would definitely have agreed."
Oh, Chen Bingzhi and Fu Huaiyi are quite close?
At this moment, Ye Xiaotong gently tugged at Lin Yuyao, "Yuyao, why is that guy named Yi staring at me?"
Lin Yuyao: "..." What should she say?
Remembering what Fu Huaiyi had told her about Yi Yunshuo following up on the story, she had a sudden inspiration and said, "Yi Yunshuo is a loyal reader of our magazine; he buys every issue. His favorite part is the section you wrote, especially the first issue. He said he wants to see what happens next."
Ye Xiaotong suddenly realized, "What follow-up is there? I've escaped, that's all. The follow-up is that I'm here now, and I probably don't even know what the future holds."
"That's what I was thinking too. I guess he might ask you about it in a bit."
"Huh?" Ye Xiaotong said nervously, "Then how should I reply? There's no follow-up."
Lin Yuyao comforted her, saying, "Don't be nervous. He's your reader; he's the one who should be nervous."
Thinking about it, that makes sense, but... she was still very nervous.
Lin Yuyao and the other two came downstairs. They vaguely heard them talking about Ming Mei. As soon as they saw them, the three on the sofa shut up.
Lin Yuyao frowned slightly and called Fu Huaiyi to the kitchen.
"What are you talking about?"
"They didn't say anything."
"I heard you talking about Ming Mei or something, but you stopped talking as soon as you saw me come down."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Oh dear, it was Chen Bingzhi who said it. After she came to see you last time, I called Grandpa. He told me to deal with the mess he made. I don't know what Grandpa did, but I heard that Mingmei was sent abroad by her family again. So, he came to Chen Bingzhi, hoping that Chen Bingzhi could put in a good word for her and let her come back."
