A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 122 I'll Just Do the Superficial Work

Kong Yazhen knew that Lu Guoqiang and Lu Congyue didn't get along. Ever since she found out that she had a half-brother, she had hated Lu Congyue, feeling that he had ruined their perfect family.

Therefore, Lu Guoqiang will definitely handle this matter properly.

Kong Yazhen was worried that Lu Guoqiang would use this incident against Lu Congyue, so she specifically instructed him: "This matter is not really Lu Congyue's fault. It's that widow who is powerful. What we need to do is to prevent Lu Congyue from continuing down the wrong path and bring him back to the right path."

"Sister Yazhen, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Chen Guoqiang said nice things, but he had already planned it all out in his heart.

Lu Congyue dared to abuse his power for personal gain, so he was bound to make a big scene and let everyone see what kind of person that country bumpkin really was.

He not only wants to get that woman named Lin Wei out of trouble, but he also wants her to testify against Lu Congyue, so that Lu Congyue will suffer the consequences!

Lu Guoqiang became more and more excited as he thought about it. He went through Lu Sheng's contact list and started making calls to get people to help him.

As for the person named Niu Jianzhong who called Lu Congyue...

I'm sorry, he doesn't know, he's not clear!

After talking to Lu Guoqiang, Kong Yazhen was completely relieved. When she left with Lu Li, she assured her that with the Lu family involved, her daughter would definitely be fine.

"But since you know the Lu family, why don't you just go directly to them?" Kong Yazhen asked curiously.

"It's such a small matter, I'm sorry to trouble them..." Lu Li said modestly. "If you hadn't been willing to help this time, I wouldn't have bothered you. I originally thought it was a small matter, and I would have just swallowed my pride and asked Zhuang Qingxiang for help."

The more humble she acted, the more satisfied Kong Yazhen became, and she also enjoyed this feeling of being high and mighty.

"Don't bother begging her, who does she think she is!" Kong Yazhen pouted. "Aunt Lu, just go back and wait for good news. Lu Guoqiang said that she'll be released in two days at most."

"Okay! I'll do as you say." Lu Li happily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes again. "You've gone to so much trouble, I don't know how to thank you enough... By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you're Factory Director Lu's fiancée, right? Did you come all the way from Beijing?"

Kong Yazhen nodded generously: "Yes, both my family and Lu Congyue's family think we are a good match."

Lu Li looked at her and sighed inwardly. Although her own daughter was young, she couldn't compare to her in terms of presence.

The idea was to let my daughter try before the Lu family sent anyone to marry Lu Congyue. If it worked out, she would be related to the Lu family in the capital by marriage and would benefit greatly.

Now it seems that with Kong Yazhen as an option, the Lu family might not even approve of their own daughter...

If she had known the Lu family had such arrangements, she would have made her daughter give up long ago, and things wouldn't have turned out like this.

However, her daughter is younger and prettier than Kong Yazhen. If her daughter can't have the man, how can Kong Yazhen?

Lu Li chuckled inwardly, but said with great concern, "You're from Beijing and you've just arrived. You don't know Zhuang Qingxiang's background. With her around, Director Lu might not even bother with you."

Kong Yazhen's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately pulled her aside, warmly inviting her back for tea, so they could chat about Zhuang Qingxiang's background.

At this time, Lu Congyue was already standing on the land of the capital.

He refused Guan Jing's suggestion to go home with her, and instead went to a guesthouse with his bag, booked a room, put down his luggage, and went to the hospital to visit Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was so angry that he fell ill; he looked sickly.

Seeing Lu Congyue approach, he became even more unfriendly: "What? Did you come to see if I'm dead or not?"

"Guan Jing forced me to come back to visit," Lu Congyue said coldly. "It seems you're alright. I'll go back tomorrow then."

"Stop right there!" Lu Sheng roared angrily. "You almost made me die of anger, you know that? How dare you say I'm not seriously injured? What good would it do you if I died?"

Lu Congyue glanced at the IV drip he was receiving and replied expressionlessly, "There's no benefit to it. I guess I'll just have to go down and apologize to my mother, or get a beating from her."

"You..." Lu Sheng was so angry he almost fainted again.

When Guan Jing arrived, she saw Lu Sheng rolling his eyes in anger. She was so frightened that she screamed for a doctor to come and save her life.

Then she grabbed Lu Congyue and cried, "Congyue, I know you have a problem with me, but if you have a problem, you can take it out on me instead of your father. He's old and can't take it."

Lu Sheng immediately slapped the bed and shouted, "Lu Congyue, she is your stepmother, your elder, and she has never done anything wrong. You are not allowed to be rude to her!"

"Old Lu..." Guan Jing called out, choking back tears, "Don't say anything more, just let the child do whatever he wants."

She cried pitifully, and Lu Sheng felt extremely sorry for her.

What did she do wrong? She did nothing wrong!

He fell in love with her first and asked the organization to send someone to introduce them, which led to their marriage.

She was a very good-tempered woman, gentle and virtuous, and took good care of him and the family after marriage.

If Lu Congyue hadn't suddenly appeared, the three of them would have been so happy and content.

Lu Sheng grabbed Guan Jing's hand and patted it reassuringly, then turned to Lu Congyue and raised his eyebrows: "I've told you many times, I have no feelings for your mother. If you have any complaints about me, don't involve her!"

Ever since Lu Sheng and Guan Jing exchanged a "deep" gaze, Lu Congyue has lowered his eyes and clenched his hands tightly at his sides.

Nausea!

That's absolutely disgusting!

A man who abandoned his wife and children, a vain woman, two elderly people acting out a love story—it's disgusting!

Hearing Lu Sheng's reprimands, Lu Congyue could only laugh.

"I'm not interested in your affairs. Don't put on a show of unwavering love in front of me; it's disgusting."

"You're sick, so I've come to visit you. I've done my job of putting on a good show. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. You can continue your performance."

After Lu Congyue finished speaking, he turned and left to avoid suffocating in the ward.

Lu Sheng roared again: "Stop right there!"

Lu Congyue kept walking.

Guan Jing chased after him and stopped him: "Cong Yue, you can't leave now. Your father still has a lot to say to you. You should at least listen to him."

Lu Congyue frowned, not wanting to get into a physical altercation or argument with her in public, and said impatiently, "I have nothing to say to him!"

"Congyue, you're over thirty years old now, you can't act like a child anymore," Guan Jing advised earnestly. "You should at least discuss your relationship with Kong Yazhen with your father."

Just as Lu Congyue was about to say that there was nothing between him and Kong Yazhen, two people came over and greeted him warmly.

"Guan Jing, when did you get back?"

"Oh? This must be Cong Yue? It's been so many years. You've matured and become more composed."
