Chapter 10 Conflict



"Comrade Lu Fangfang, wait a moment."

As Lu Fangfang walked out of the courtyard carrying the cut-off braid, she heard someone calling her from behind.

Looking back, I saw Xiao Aiguo chasing after me.

"Political Commissar Xiao, is there something you need?"

Xiao Aiguo nodded.

He briefly recounted Zhu Haiming's story.

"ah……"

After hearing this, Lu Fangfang was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide.

"Using other people's photos for blind dates, and then luring people from Shanghai, this...this..."

She didn't even know how to evaluate that person named Li Dajun.

He's a complete liar and a complete scoundrel.

Thinking about it, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt sorry for the aloof Zhu Haiming; she had really met the wrong person.

"Political Commissar Xiao, so you're saying Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng really doesn't recognize Zhu Haiming?"

“Yes, in this matter, Xiao Zhuang and Comrade Zhu are both victims, so I’ve thought about it and decided to tell you the truth.”

Xiao Aiguo nodded, also afraid of causing a bad misunderstanding.

...

While the two were talking, Zhuang Mingcheng arrived at the guesthouse for the second time.

When he first came, no one was home. He went out to look for her but couldn't find Lu Fangfang, so he had to come back to check again.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Comrade Lu Fangfang? Are you there?"

Zhuang Mingcheng knocked on the door skillfully, waited for a while, but heard no movement from inside.

He shook his head, put his hand down, and was about to go out to look again when the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Comrade Fangfang, you go..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I stay here? If your Comrade Fangfang can live in this house, of course I can too."

Inside the room, Zhu Haiming stared blankly at Zhuang Mingcheng, feeling a pang of unease.

She was truly betrayed by her handsome fiancé, who turned out to be a fake.

Across from him, Zhuang Mingcheng frowned, then turned to leave.

"It was the staff at the guesthouse who arranged for me to stay in this room."

As she spoke, Zhu Haiming quickened her pace and stopped Zhuang Mingcheng from leaving.

Extending her right hand, she said with a smile, "Comrade Zhuang, let's get to know each other again."

"Zhuang Mingcheng."

Zhuang Mingcheng frowned and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Zhu Haiming took his hand and tickled his palm, then smiled playfully.

"Comrade Mingcheng, hello. My name is Zhu Haiming, your former 'fiancée'."

"Comrade Zhu Haiming, the matter has been thoroughly investigated, so it's best not to make such statements lightly."

"Just kidding, Comrade Mingcheng, why are you so serious?"

A chill ran down Zhuang Mingcheng's spine. He forcefully pulled his hand out and wiped it on his pants in disgust.

Just kidding? Is this something you can joke about so easily?

Zhu Haiming didn't care. She glanced down and said with some regret, "Mingcheng, you don't have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

"have."

"who?"

Zhu Haiming asked instinctively.

"Lu Fangfang, you know each other."

After saying that, Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and tried to leave.

He didn't want to continue the conversation with Zhu Haiming, who had ulterior motives.

"who?"

Zhu Haiming was taken aback, then burst into exaggerated laughter, "Lu Fangfang? Haha, her? Mingcheng, you're not serious, are you?"

"Oh my, that's hilarious."

Zhu Haiming was overjoyed.

Fueled by the anger of rejection, she deliberately said in a humiliating tone, "Comrade Mingcheng, no offense, but Lu Fangfang is nothing but a country bumpkin, a stinking beggar..."

Zhuang Mingcheng stopped and listened expressionlessly.

"She has no money, no figure, and might even be a homeless person who can't even read. How could you possibly choose her? You really have no taste."

"Have you finished yelling?"

Zhuang Mingcheng had initially felt some sympathy for Zhu Haiming, but now he felt only disgust.

"Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, you're mistaken. I didn't curse you. I'm just telling the truth!"

Zhu Haiming sneered and continued to belittle her:

"That Lu Fangfang, isn't she from some backwater town? She's filthy, her clothes are covered in patches, and she wipes her snot directly on her sleeves. Country bumpkin, disgusting!"

"She has no figure, no education, what else does Lu Fangfang have besides being a woman?"

"With her skinny frame, it's not easy for her to even have children. Even if she does, they'll just be little country bumpkins."

Zhu Haiming became more and more excited as she spoke, venting all the pent-up frustration in her heart.

Seeing Zhuang Mingcheng's unmoved expression, she even scolded the man, "You still chose her as your partner? What do you see in her?"

"Is it because she doesn't bathe? Is it because she's uneducated? Is it because she has many patches on her clothes? Or is it because she's dark-skinned? Bah, you're really from a small town, your standards are so low, you're only good enough for a country woman."

"Pfft."

A laugh suddenly rang out in the corridor.

"Who? Who's there? Show yourself!"

Zhu Haiming was startled.

At the corner of the corridor, Lu Fangfang walked out with a smile, carrying her long braid.

After she finished talking with Xiao Aiguo, she came back and overheard Zhu Haiming talking about her, so she simply listened for a while.

I never expected that Zhu Haiming would harbor such a deep resentment towards her.

Judging from this, her resentment is probably even greater than towards Li Dajun. That's really enough.

"Hey, Comrade Zhu Haiming, I do take showers, and I'm not dark-skinned. As for my cultural literacy, I personally think it's better than yours."

As she spoke, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but laugh again.

Zhu Haiming belittled herself like this, but she wasn't particularly angry.

However, Zhu Haiming genuinely disapproved of the attitude towards the countryside.

After clearing her throat, Lu Fangfang said seriously, "Comrade Zhu Haiming, your tone is full of belittling people from the countryside. I need to correct you. People from the countryside just have poor living conditions, but they are not unclean."

I hope you can apologize.

"Who are you? I'm talking about that blonde girl, Lu Fangfang. What's it to you?"

Zhu Haiming looked at the strange woman who had suddenly appeared with surprise and doubt.

With fair skin, ridiculously short hair, and a smart green military uniform, she thought for a while and couldn't believe she knew this woman.

"Of course it concerns her, because she is Lu Fangfang."

Zhuang Mingcheng looked on in surprise, but he immediately recognized the person as Lu Fangfang.

"What? She's Lu Fangfang?"

Zhu Haiming couldn't believe it. She stared intently at the woman in military uniform's face, and gradually felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

"You...how did you become like this?"

Zhu Haiming was so frightened that she took two steps back, feeling as if she had seen a ghost.

One moment this man was a stinking beggar, the next he was clean and handsome. How could she possibly recognize him?

"Damn it, this is really a ghost, damn it!"

Lu Fangfang shook her head and walked up to Zhu Haiming. "Comrade Zhu Haiming, please apologize for what you just said!"
