Chapter 293 I think you're jealous
Since Lu Congyue didn't help her up, Jin Lili stopped kneeling and got up to follow him inside.
"Sister Zhuang, Sister Zhuang."
When Zhuang Qingxiang came out after hearing the noise, Lu Congyue was just entering the house, followed by Jin Lili, who was stumbling along.
"What's going on?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked, completely bewildered.
Lu Congyue said coldly, "Get them out of here!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jin Lili rushed to Zhuang Qingxiang's side, sobbing, "Sister Zhuang, I have nowhere else to go, please let me stay."
Zhuang Qingxiang, like Lu Congyue, frowned deeply, held him firmly, and asked, "What happened? Weren't you staying at Sister Jin's house perfectly fine?"
"No... I lied to my aunt. I said I was going back to my hometown, but I can't go back. My parents want to marry me off to an old widower. I ran away, but I didn't dare tell her. I was afraid she would still send me back to my hometown."
Jin Lili sobbed, her eyes constantly glancing at Lu Congyue as she cried.
"Sister Zhuang, I don't want money, I just need a place to stay and some food. Please, just consider it an act of kindness and let me stay and help you take care of your child and do chores, okay?"
"I can do anything. My aunt brought me here because she saw how fast I could work, really."
If Zhuang Qingxiang hadn't already known Jin Lili's background from Lu Congyue, she might have actually been fooled by her pitiful appearance.
Knowing full well that she works at the Second Department Store, yet pretending not to know, is truly infuriating.
Zhuang Qingxiang knew that Lu Congyue couldn't interfere at this time, lest Zhuang Qingxiang become attached to him.
So I can only rely on myself!
Without hesitation, Zhuang Qingxiang grabbed Jin Lili's wrist and half-pulled her along, leading her out of the courtyard.
As they walked, she gently comforted her, "Lili, don't worry, I'll talk to Sister Jin and ask her not to send you back to your hometown."
Jin Lili didn't want to leave, but Zhuang Qingxiang held her tightly and walked steadily, so she couldn't break free at all. She hurriedly turned around to look for Lu Congyue.
"Director Lu, you're the director, can't you help me? I swear, if you just let me stay, I promise I won't let you down. I'll do anything you ask!"
These words made Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue's faces darken.
Zhuang Qingxiang despised women who lacked self-respect. She shoved Jin Lili out the door and coldly rebuked her, "Jin Lili, you're not welcome in my home. Don't come here again, or I'll tell your aunt..."
She lowered her voice, and as Jin Lili's expression grew increasingly terrified, she said, almost enunciating each word clearly, "Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Deputy Director Li!"
Jin Lili was terrified.
Only her family knows the true nature of her relationship with Li Weixing.
But they won't tell anyone because they can profit from it.
In the past two years, Li Weixing has helped my father and eldest brother find jobs.
Jin Guilan is stupid. She didn't even notice that she and Li Weixing were having a secret rendezvous right under her nose. How did Zhuang Qingxiang, an outsider, know about it?
"Get out!" Zhuang Qingxiang slammed the door shut.
Jin Lili turned pale with fright. If people found out about her affair with Li Weixing, how would she ever get married? How would she find a job?
Jin Lili ran away in fright. Zhuang Qingxiang returned to the house with a dark face and was greeted by Lu Congyue's silly grin.
She glared at him: "You can still laugh?!"
"This is the first time I've seen you so angry." Lu Congyue leaned closer and put his arm around her waist. "Are you angry because someone else is after me?"
"I'm not angry," Zhuang Qingxiang denied. "I just hate people like her who don't respect themselves."
Lu Congyue chuckled: "I don't think so, I think you're just jealous."
Zhuang Qingxiang was dumbfounded: "Jealous? Why would I be jealous? Jin Lili? I know what kind of person she is. You have absolutely no relationship with her, so why would I be jealous?"
Lu Congyue's smile faded slightly, unwilling to give up: "I said you're jealous, and that means you care about me."
She's always been mild-mannered, and unless it's a matter of life and death, she's usually calm and doesn't have much of a temper. The fact that she's showing her emotions now is definitely because of him, definitely because she's jealous, and there can't be any other reason!
Lu Congyue was adamant about his decision and wouldn't allow Zhuang Qingxiang to argue back. If she did, he would drag her into the west room, close the door, and kiss her until she admitted to being jealous.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing inside with the door closed?"
Xiao Luyue knocked on the door from the outside, asking anxiously.
Inside the door, Zhuang Qingxiang, her face flushed, was panting in Lu Congyue's arms. Hearing her daughter's cry, she angrily slapped him twice.
How can she go out and meet people like this? My daughter is at the age where she is curious about everything and wants to ask about everything. Seeing her like this, she will keep asking questions.
Lu Congyue once again felt that the decision not to have children was the right one.
Seeing his wife nestled gently in his arms, Lu Congyue couldn't resist giving her a couple of squeezes before quickly leaving before she could get angry.
"I'll go and comfort her, you don't need to worry about it."
After saying that, he opened the door, grabbed the little girl who was about to rush into the room, closed the door behind him, picked up the little girl, and walked out.
"Your mother was upset by that person who just barged in. I calmed her down a bit, so please don't disturb her," he said softly. "Come on, let's make dinner for your mother, okay?"
"You bad person!" Xiao Luyue angrily clenched her fist. "Make Mom something delicious, and she won't be angry anymore if she eats something delicious."
"Yes, our Yueyue is so smart!" Lu Congyue patted her little head approvingly.
However, the little girl was not needed to cook dinner. Lu Congyue showed her around the kitchen and then told her to go back and take care of her two younger brothers.
A little while later, Zhuang Qingxiang also arrived.
Lu Congyue glanced at her and saw that her face wasn't so red anymore, but her lips were still red and a little swollen. However, he didn't plan to tell her, otherwise she would get angry again.
"You don't need to be jealous. Jin Lili insisted on coming to our house as a nanny, it definitely wasn't for me," he said.
If Zhuang Qingxiang weren't afraid he would kiss her again, she would have rolled her eyes at him.
She wasn't jealous at all, right?
"If it's not for you, then why? Her eyes are glued to you." Zhuang Qingxiang said irritably.
Lu Congyue couldn't help but laugh: "You still say you're not jealous... Don't forget what kind of relationship Jin Lili and Li Weixing have. With that relationship, how could Li Weixing possibly push her onto me? He invited me to dinner and persuaded me to keep Jin Lili at home as a nanny. He must have some ulterior motive."
"What kind of wicked scheme could they possibly have? To have Jin Lili seduce you and make you commit a moral transgression?"
Zhuang Qingxiang hesitated, then thought for a moment and shook her head, "It doesn't seem like it. Jin Lili isn't even as good-looking as me, how could she have gotten involved with you and committed a moral offense?"
Lu Congyue couldn't resist any longer. He hugged her from behind, his hands roaming freely, pinching and touching her all over. He whispered in her ear, "That's right, only you can make me make a mistake... If we hadn't gotten our marriage certificate, we'd be paraded through the streets if we were caught like this... But as long as it's you, I'd be willing to be paraded through the streets... No one else will do..."
