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

Chapter 223 has finally arrived!

When she said these words, Zhuang Qingxiang didn't hide from anyone or lower her voice; instead, she put on an arrogant and haughty demeanor.

When the people living in the compound heard this, they all gave her disdainful looks.

Everyone knows that Director Lu's wife is a slut who's all show and no substance. The organization even talked to Director Lu about it once, but he seemed to be bewitched and wouldn't listen to anyone. He only thought his wife was good, which was simply speechless.

Perhaps it was because Zhuang Qingxiang and Ma Ting's affected manner finally convinced people, but after the two finished shopping at the department store, just as they were about to eat at the state-run restaurant, a man came over and asked if they could share a table.

Just as Zhuang Qingxiang was about to politely say no, Ma Ting raised an eyebrow and started scolding her.

"Get lost! Where did this shameless man come from, trying to take advantage of us? Look at this table full of delicious food, can you afford it? You think you can share a table with us just because you ordered a plate of peanuts? You must be too poor to afford it."

The man hadn't expected to encounter such a shrew. A flash of anger crossed his face, and seeing Ma Ting about to slam her hand on the table, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you still want to get rich?"

Zhuang Qingxiang's brow twitched, and she immediately grabbed Ma Ting's hand, raising an eyebrow as she sized up the man: "Who are you?"

"It's just sharing a table, you two ladies don't need to look down on me like that." The man smiled obsequiously, acting all humble.

People around him felt sorry for him and pointed at Zhuang Qingxiang and Ma Ting.

Zhuang Qingxiang gently pulled Ma Ting aside and said, "Alright, don't be angry. We can switch tables. There are still empty tables. This person came to share a table with us. Who knows what he's up to? We're women. If we can't afford to offend him, can't we at least avoid him?"

After saying that, he asked the waiter to help him change tables.

The man's face instantly turned incredibly sour.

Those two damned women, knowing exactly who he is, still dared to throw dirty water on his head. They're such despicable sluts.

However, if these two women weren't so big-breasted and brainless, they wouldn't have found an opportunity to break through them.

Ever since Ma Ting appeared beside Zhuang Qingxiang, they had secretly investigated her. She was someone who would do anything for money. Zhuang Qingxiang also picked up a lot of bad habits after being with her, and she was particularly vain. The two women also liked to secretly compete with each other, seeing who bought the most expensive clothes and who had more money in their pockets.

A lot has happened recently. All the informants they had planted and developed in the county have disappeared. Only Ma Ting is left to be developed. They have already decided when to contact her.

As for Zhuang Qingxiang, we've already spent a lot of money on her, so we need to put her to good use as soon as possible.

I originally planned to share a table and finish what I was saying without anyone noticing, so that no one would pay any attention to me.

I never expected those two bastards to look down on people like that...

The man swallowed his anger, ignoring the strange looks from others, quickly finished his meal, and went to a corner outside to wait.

He waited until the two women had finished eating and drinking before they came out, and he immediately followed them.

During the meal, Ma Ting had already given Zhuang Qingxiang instructions, so after they came out, Zhuang Qingxiang didn't look around and just followed Ma Ting to the park.

It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many people in the park. In a secluded spot, the man finally jumped out.

"stop."

Zhuang Qingxiang immediately cried out, "Help! Grab me..."

"Shut up!" The man was furious. He pulled an envelope from his pocket and waved it around. "Do you recognize this?"

Zhuang Qingxiang immediately shut up and asked in surprise, "It was you? You had someone give me the money?"

The man nodded.

Zhuang Qingxiang immediately reached out her hand: "Then give it to me. How much are you giving me today? Are you still giving me a hundred? Can't you give me more at once?"

The man was furious. He stuffed the envelope back into his pocket and said in a low voice, "Zhuang Qingxiang, don't forget who you are! You can have money, but you have to complete the task I gave you first."

"What task? Can I do it? Will I get a hundred if I complete it? Or two hundred?" Ma Ting asked immediately, her eyes lighting up.

As she spoke, she complained about Zhuang Qingxiang, blaming her for not asking her out when she had money to be made.

"But I didn't forget you either," Zhuang Qingxiang said with a smile.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Tell your friend to get away from me. I have something to say to you," the man said in a deep voice.

Ma Ting immediately started making a scene, insisting that she also needed to make money. The man, annoyed by her antics, told her to get lost and that he would naturally come to her later if he needed anything.

Ma Ting then reluctantly walked to the side.

Zhuang Qingxiang felt a little nervous and asked, "What mission? Tell me quickly, I have to go back to see my child."

The man scoffed, "Lu Congyue has even hired a nanny, what need do you have to look after the kids? What you should be doing is going to his workplace every day to keep in touch."

Zhuang Qingxiang frowned: "This is the task you were talking about? Our marital affairs are none of your business."

"Why should I care about your petty business? I need you to go to his office to find the materials, you idiot," the man said angrily.

"What kind of materials are you looking for?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked. "I grew up in the countryside, never went to school, and don't know many words. I don't understand these things, so I might not be able to find them."

The men choked, realizing they had completely forgotten about it.

Zhuang Qingxiang then asked, "Didn't you say my father was coming? When will he arrive? When will he take me abroad?"

"Soon." The man replied casually. "How about this, you go to his office often and bring him some soup or something. Let me take a look at all the ingredients."

Zhuang Qingxiang frowned and hesitated, saying, "This... I can't guarantee it either. He's very cautious, and I might not be able to succeed. Please don't worry."

"Zhuang Qingxiang, don't try to stall for time. You've taken so much money and tickets from us; if you don't complete the mission, you'll have to pay them all back!"

"Return it? Why should I return it? You gave it to me willingly, not because I asked for it!" Zhuang Qingxiang said disdainfully, her nostrils flaring. "What, you want to threaten me? I was afraid of your threats before because I had no backing, but now I'm Lu Congyue's legitimate wife. With him around, what am I afraid of? Talk to me nicely, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll help you out. But if you threaten me? Then I won't care anymore. Go ahead and sue me if you dare."

The man never expected Zhuang Qingxiang to turn from an honest and simple woman into such a shameless rogue. He almost suspected that what he had said in the letter was just nonsense from his informants, who claimed she was an easy-to-manage rural widow, but it turned out she was a shameless woman.

"Zhuang Qingxiang, are you trying to renege on your debt?!"

"What debt are you trying to renege on? I don't know anything about any debts." Zhuang Qingxiang sneered.

The man was furious, his mind buzzing. He knew that women shouldn't be involved in matters so crucial to the restoration of the nation; they would only ruin things.

Remembering his superior's words, he took a deep breath, calmed himself for a few seconds, and took out an envelope from his pocket and waved it.
