Chapter 313 Trusted the Wrong Person
The little girl hadn't been this uneasy in a long time, so Zhuang Qingxiang could only suppress her own unease, calm her down first, and then go out to the post office to make a phone call.
I made a phone call, waited ten minutes, and called again. This time, Sun Yongxian answered the phone.
"Sister Zhuang, don't we have a telepathic connection? I was just about to look for you!" Sun Yongxian was overjoyed.
Zhuang Qingxiang could only suppress her own plans and asked, "Looking for me? What's wrong?"
Sun Yongxian said excitedly, "Peiran and I have almost finished the formalities. We'll go to the provincial capital to find you next week, and we'll live there from now on."
"Oh? You've already arranged all the work?" Zhuang Qingxiang exclaimed happily. "That's wonderful!"
Sun Yongxian chuckled: "Sister Zhuang, phone calls are expensive. What do you need me for? Just tell me quickly, and we can talk about the rest when I get to the provincial capital."
Zhuang Qingxiang's good mood immediately vanished, and she whispered, "Yongxian, I'd like to trouble you to go to Dongya Village and find Village Chief Qian to ask him a question."
"What did you say?" Sun Yongxian asked curiously.
Zhuang Qingxiang gritted her teeth: "Ask him what exactly my relationship with Lu Congyue is!"
"Huh?" Sun Yongxian was completely confused. "You have to ask Village Chief Qian about your relationship with Director Lu?"
"Don't worry about it, just go and ask. I'll call you around this time tomorrow, so don't forget. Also, don't tell Lu Congyue about this," Zhuang Qingxiang instructed.
I can't talk about this anymore; the phone bill is just too expensive.
After giving her instructions, Zhuang Qingxiang hung up the phone, paid the bill, and quickly went home.
Xiao Luyue was relieved when she saw her return, and clung to her, unwilling to leave her side.
Soon, Lu Congyue also returned.
Seeing Zhuang Qingxiang sitting there in a daze, his heart tightened, and he sat down next to her and said, "I've told the police about Li Weixing's matter. Sister Jin and his two sons have also gone over. It seems that the situation is not good."
Zhuang Qingxiang tried to sound cheerful: "Is Sister Jin not doing well?"
"No, it's her two sons." Lu Congyue paused. "It seems that Sister Jin is determined to get a divorce, and her two sons can't stop her."
Zhuang Qingxiang pursed her lips: "It's better that we're divorced."
"But the guarantee is gone, so if we divorce, she won't get any money from Li Weixing."
The house was allocated to Li Weixing by his work unit. After the divorce, Jin Guilan could no longer live there. Even after things have turned out this way, Li Weixing will not give her a single penny. Jin Guilan is leaving with nothing.
If her two sons no longer support or help her, she will have to rely on herself in the future.
It seems quite difficult.
"It's not difficult. She's a full-time employee now, with a salary, although it's a bit low, it's enough to support herself." Zhuang Qingxiang thought for a moment and said, "It's good that we're divorced, it's clean."
For some reason, Lu Congyue felt uneasy after hearing her words.
He thought that now that he was back, Zhuang Qingxiang would definitely ask him some questions, but to his surprise, Zhuang Qingxiang didn't ask anything even though he didn't say anything.
She only forbade him to come near her when she was sleeping at night.
To avoid him, she even slept between the three children.
Lu Congyue felt a bitter taste in his mouth and said in a low voice, "Qingxiang, what Li Weixing said..."
"Go to sleep," Zhuang Qingxiang interrupted him. "You've had a long day."
A state of complete unwillingness to communicate.
Lu Congyue had no choice but to shut up.
The next day, Lu Congyue wanted to take half a day off to have a good talk with Zhuang Qingxiang, but a colleague called him to go to the office immediately, saying that the higher-ups had heard about Li Weixing's matter and wanted to question him.
Lu Congyue had no choice but to deal with his superiors first, as he also had to host them for lunch.
Zhuang Qingxiang stayed quiet at home all day. When it was almost time in the afternoon, she took her two children out and headed straight for the post office.
When the call reached Sun Yongxian, Zhuang Qingxiang immediately asked as soon as the call connected, "Yongxian, did you ask for me?"
"Sister Zhuang, please don't mention it." Sun Yongxian had a lot to say. "I just found out that Village Chief Qian quit a long time ago and was kicked out by his family. Now he's living a very difficult life on his own."
She paused, then lowered her voice, "I heard that Village Chief Qian's current state seems to be related to Director Lu..."
Zhuang Qingxiang's heart tightened. She wanted to ask why, but for some reason, she couldn't make a sound.
Sun Yongxian continued, "I also heard that two people came to inquire about information around the Lunar New Year, and a while ago someone stayed in the village for two days. They were all related to Village Chief Qian, but I don't know what information they were inquiring about."
Zhuang Qingxiang gripped the phone receiver tightly, her breathing becoming increasingly difficult.
"Yongxian..." she managed to say, her voice strained, "Did you ask the question I told you to ask?"
"I did ask," Sun Yongxian said hurriedly, her voice very low. "But your question was so strange that even the old village chief was speechless for a long time before he asked me in return, 'Isn't Director Lu Cheng Lin's father now?'"
"Sister Zhuang, what are you talking about? I feel like I understand it, but I don't really understand it," Sun Yongxian said, puzzled.
Zhuang Qingxiang closed her eyes briefly and said with difficulty, "It's alright, that's fine. Remember to let me know when you're coming to the provincial capital."
"Okay!" Sun Yongxian replied.
After making the phone call, Zhuang Qingxiang pushed her two children home.
As soon as I entered, I almost bumped into Lu Congyue.
He looked anxious, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhuang Qingxiang and the two children.
"Haruka, you took the children out?" He gave a dry laugh. "I... I was just about to go out and look for you."
Zhuang Qingxiang didn't even have the strength to force a smile. She avoided him and pushed the two children into the house.
She carried the two babbling, protesting little ones from the car to the kang (a heated brick bed), and watched them stand up, leaning against the wall and laughing. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Cheng Lin's face.
They look alike no matter how you look at them.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like she can't deceive herself.
With difficulty, she looked away and saw Lu Congyue standing beside her. Although his face was expressionless, she couldn't help but see unease in his eyes.
Zhuang Qingxiang closed her eyes briefly and then said, "Cheng Lin..."
"Mine! It's mine!" Lu Congyue exclaimed eagerly.
God knows that he had been waiting for her to ask him the first thing all day and night. He was willing to tell her anything as long as she was willing to talk to him.
Zhuang Qingxiang clenched her fists, feeling inexplicably like she wanted to vomit.
She looked at Lu Congyue, thinking about how she had trusted him and how good he had been to her...
The more I think about it, the more I feel like throwing up.
It turns out she really was a fool; she not only trusted that beast Qian Quan, but also Lu Congyue.
Lu Congyue felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze. Suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly cried out, "Qingxiang, you can't think of me like that! None of this has anything to do with me! I knew nothing about it!"
Zhuang Qingxiang lowered her eyes.
She didn't want to hear a single word he said, nor did she want to pay any attention to him.
Lu Congyue was so anxious he wanted to spin around in circles. He suddenly grabbed Zhuang Qingxiang's shoulders and looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Haruka, you can't sentence me to death like this! I was unaware of the truth, just like you!"
