Chapter 69 is actually a pretty good match.
Lin Wei was indeed very panicked at this moment. Although she had returned to her parents' side, she was still too scared to go out.
That useless Liang Xinzheng can't even handle a woman, and he got arrested. He might implicate me.
"Vivi."
When Lu Li returned home, she found Lin Wei still hiding in her room. Her face darkened, and she called Lin Wei out, scolding her, "Are you afraid others won't know what you've done? What are you doing hiding at home all the time? Do you know what people call you? It's called having a guilty conscience!"
Lin Wei came out of the house with red eyes and timidly called out, "Mom..."
Seeing her like this, Luli immediately softened.
She only has one daughter, and she only wants the best for her; she couldn't bear to actually scold her.
"Alright, didn't I tell you everything's resolved? Why are you still hiding? Do you think Lu Congyue can chase you all the way here? Even if he did, without evidence, he can't do anything to you! Just go about your business in peace, and go to work in a few days, understand?"
Having said that, still harboring resentment, she glared at Lin Wei: "The things I left for you were for Lu Congyue, and you... have you lost your mind? How could you do something like this?!"
If it's used on Lu Congyue, at most it'll be a done deal, and everyone's happy. But if it's used on that nanny, letting another man sleep with her is illegal!
Lu Li became increasingly angry and frustrated. Luckily, Lin Wei had told her about it beforehand, otherwise she would have been arrested and taken to the police station by now.
"Mom, you're one to talk! That medicine doesn't work at all. It didn't work on Lu Congyue last time, and it didn't work on Zhuang Qingxiang either! Is your medicine expired?" Lin Wei complained.
Lu Li was also confused about what was going on, so she said, "Why bother with these useless things now? Think about the future. I think you can forget about Lu Congyue. Mom will find you someone else better."
Lin Wei thought there couldn't be anyone better than Lu Congyue. He was tall and strong, good-looking, educated, a factory director, and his father was a high-ranking official in Beijing...
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. She cried and collapsed into Lu Li's arms, "Mom, I'm not reconciled. I've been with him for so long, how could he fall for a widow from the countryside? I'm not reconciled..."
Luli was unwilling to give up, but what could she do now? She could only advise her daughter to think more positively.
Lin Wei hid at home for almost a week and found that nothing had happened. In addition, the news brought back by her parents showed that Liang Xinzheng had no intention of implicating her. She finally felt relieved and dared to go out and play openly.
But after playing for a few days, he got bored and kept thinking about Lu Congyue.
She is not reconciled!
If she can't have him, Zhuang Qingxiang shouldn't have him either!
A rural widow trying to compete with her for a man? Ridiculous!
……
Zhuang Qingxiang hasn't been having a good time these past few days.
She was hiding from Lu Congyue.
Ever since Lu Congyue overheard Sun Yongxian joking with her that day, Zhuang Qingxiang has been too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
She always felt that although Lu Congyue seemed as rigid and serious towards her as before, something was different about him.
For example, Lu Congyue would secretly watch her.
For example, when doing things, Lu Congyue would take the initiative to help, and sometimes there would be some contact that could or could not be avoided.
It's not appropriate to ask others about this kind of thing. After all, it's Director Lu Congyue. Even she herself felt that she was just being presumptuous.
So she could only hide.
But there are only two rooms in the house, and the yard is so small that sometimes there is no way to avoid it.
Just like now, the sky was overcast, and she was rushing to collect clothes and diapers in the yard when she inevitably ran into Lu Congyue.
She was wearing a short-sleeved top, while Lu Congyue was only wearing a vest. When their arms brushed against each other, Zhuang Qingxiang's heart skipped a beat.
Even with just a simple brush or touch, she could clearly feel the difference in body temperature between men and women.
She was slightly cool, while his skin was hot and burning.
Zhuang Qingxiang felt a burning sensation behind her ears and hurriedly looked away, clutching the clothes she had packed away, saying, "Director Lu, it's about to rain, you'd better go home quickly."
"Let me check the roof first." Lu Congyue looked at the sky, frowned, set up the ladder he had brought, and climbed onto the roof to check.
If this warehouse had been sturdy, it wouldn't have been abandoned in the first place.
Because Zhuang Qingxiang was going to move in, Lu Congyue had people make repairs, but he was still worried about the roof.
Zhuang Qingxiang put the clothes inside and quickly came out to help hold the ladder, looking up and asking, "Is there a problem? It should be fine, right? Wasn't it just repaired? I think it's okay, Director Lu, please come down quickly."
His urgent voice was tinged with a soft, sweet tone. Standing on the rooftop, Lu Congyue couldn't help but laugh, knowing no one could see him.
He didn't say anything, and she said so much in one breath.
His smile faded, and Lu Congyue looked down: "It's alright, you go inside and check on the children."
He glanced at it, said one sentence, and then looked away.
It's mainly because his eyesight is so good; the view from this angle is just too beautiful...
Lu Congyue was slightly lost in thought.
He drank a few too many drinks that day and got drunk, but he still remembered leaning on her.
He didn't do it on purpose; he sobered up when he leaned closer, but he couldn't just "sober up" in that situation, so he could only pretend to be drunk and lean on her for a while longer.
Later, he tossed and turned, thinking about this matter.
He didn't seem to mind physical contact with her at all, in fact...
Lu Congyue had to admit that he was acting strangely. He would want to slap other women away whenever they approached, but he would want to attack Zhuang Qingxiang as soon as she stood there doing nothing.
Even if he only caught a glimpse of her chubby arm out of the corner of his eye, his hands would itch.
Lu Congyue even had a thought.
He was thirty-two, she was thirty; they were actually quite a good match.
But the thought startled him as soon as it popped into his head. He happened to be away on a business trip for a few days, and he thought that a few days would be enough for him to calm down.
But this thought pops up countless times every day.
When Lu Congyue returned, he was thinking that he should mention this matter to Zhuang Qingxiang. She was gentle and sensible and could take good care of the family and children. He was also capable of taking good care of her and the children.
Unexpectedly, when I returned, I overheard her chatting with Sun Yongxian.
Lu Congyue suddenly remembered that Zhuang Qingxiang had said she missed her deceased husband and did not want to remarry.
Lu Congyue went home and tossed and turned all night, thinking that there was still a chance.
No matter how good her deceased husband was to her, that was in the past. He was dead. If he treated her even better, she would still remember him.
Also, she needs to get used to his presence as soon as possible.
Since returning from his business trip, Lu Congyue has tried his best to get Zhuang Qingxiang used to his presence, but it seems that the situation has not improved, and may even be worse.
She had been avoiding herself.
Lu Congyue wasn't stupid; he could sense it.
Lu Congyue thought that this couldn't go on, and he needed to find an opportunity to talk things out.
He is never one to drag things out; he is used to cutting through problems quickly.
Should I talk to her about this myself, or should I have someone else talk to her?
