Chapter 330
There was a knock on the door and Chen Guifeng went to open it.
After Cai Chunxing introduced herself and explained her purpose, Chen Guifeng vaguely remembered that the girl in front of her was the Cai Chunxing who had asked a matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage to Chen Kang last year.
Thinking that Chen Kang was still at home, Chen Guifeng was a little hesitant for a moment. She wondered if it would be awkward if Chen Kang and Cai Chunxing met, or if rumors bad for them would spread.
Seeing Chen Guifeng's stunned expression and no response for a long while, Cai Chunxing said softly, "Aunt? Isn't Fuyue at home?"
Chen Guifeng reacted and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's hard for you to make a special trip to see her."
"It's not hard. Fu Yue and I have a good relationship, so it's my duty to come and see her." Cai Chunxing said.
"I'll take you to her house."
"good."
When Chen Guifeng took Cai Chunxing to Ye Fuyue's room, they happened to meet Chen Kang.
Chen Guifeng secretly observed the expressions of the two people and said to Shen Kang, "Comrade Cai is here to see Fu Yue."
Cai Chunxing looked indifferent and just nodded towards Chen Kang as a greeting.
Chen Kang was a little surprised when he saw Cai Chunxing at home, but after hearing what Chen Guifeng said, he understood and just nodded lightly as a greeting.
Seeing that neither of them reacted, Chen Guifeng breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a little ashamed.
Or was she, as a mother, overthinking things? Fortunately, she hadn't acted on her own and prevented Cai Chunxing from coming in.
Chen Guifeng pushed the door of Ye Fuyue's room open a crack to make it easier for the two of them to enter.
"Fu Yue, Comrade Cai is here to see you." After Chen Guifeng brought Cai Chunxing into the house, she left.
"Fuyue," Cai Chunxing said with a smile as he sat down on the chair in front of Ye Fuyue's bed. "You look good."
"Yes. I just need to rest and take care of the confinement. I don't have to take care of anything at home. Qiqi is taken care of more by my mother-in-law and my husband, so she recovered faster." Ye Fuyue said with a smile.
The little girl's nickname was chosen: Qiqi, which is a homophone of the "qi" in "haoran zhengqi". This name was also chosen by Chen Yao.
"I really envy you for having such a good in-law family." Cai Chunxing said.
"What's wrong? Are things not going well between you and your partner?" Ye Fuyue asked.
When this was mentioned, Cai Chunxing suddenly became angry: "By the way, do you know who spread those rumors about me in Xiangyang Furniture Factory?"
"who?"
"Huang Xiu!" Cai Chunxing was furious: "I also overheard it by accident."
The incident started when the sun was shining brightly one day and Cai Chunxing found an open space outside to bask in the sun after lunch.
Suddenly, she heard Huang Xiu's voice.
Cai Chunxing felt sick to her stomach when she heard that voice. Just as she was about to leave, she heard another male colleague ask Huang Xiu, "Did you spread those rumors about Cai Chunxing in the factory?"
Cai Chunxing was immediately unable to move. She looked around and found Huang Xiu and a man sitting behind a tree. Because of the tree, neither Huang Xiu nor the man noticed her.
Cai Chunxing sat back down, turning her back to Huang Xiu to avoid being discovered. However, she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between Huang Xiu and the man.
Huang Xiu didn't say anything about the gay man's question.
The man continued, "The first time I knew Cai Chunxing was so unreserved was when you told me she had been pursuing a gay man from Factory 1 and often went there to wait for him. It wasn't long before everyone in the factory was talking about Cai Chunxing."
Huang Xiu said, "I thought you were the one who spread it."
The man said, "After you told me about this, I did tell a few people about it, but I don't know the details. You know better."
Huang Xiu didn't say anything.
After a pause, the man asked Huang Xiu, "Don't you have feelings for Cai Chunxing? You're ruining her reputation like this. If she finds out, you and her won't be together."
"Don't talk nonsense. I wasn't the one who spread those things about her." Huang Xiu denied it.
Seeing that Huang Xiu denied it, the man stopped talking about this topic and started talking about other things.
Cai Chunxing's mind became active.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the rumors about her were most likely spread by Huang Xiu outside.
Otherwise, if the gay man asked him that, his first reaction would have been to deny it.
Moreover, ever since those rumors started in the factory, Huang Xiuzeng would often come to see her and show concern for her, saying that no matter what the outside world said about her, he knew exactly what kind of girl I was.
Cai Chunxing was so annoyed with him at the time and thought he was a lunatic, so he didn't take his words to heart.
Now that I think about it carefully, if those rumors were really spread by Huang Xiu, then Huang Xiu just wanted to ruin her reputation, and then he could take advantage of the situation by pretending to be a caring person!
If she was crushed by these rumors and her boyfriend broke up with her because of them, maybe she would be moved by his care and affection and be with him!
After figuring this out, Cai Chunxing was extremely angry. He had never expected Huang Xiu to be such a dirty-minded person.
She immediately went around the tree, ran up to Huang Xiu, and questioned him, "Okay, Huang Xiu, so you were the one who spread all those rumors about me!"
Huang Xiu was obviously panicked when he saw Cai Chunxing.
Although he guessed that it must be Cai Chunxing who overheard their conversation, he still pretended to be puzzled and said, "Comrade Cai, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Stop pretending in front of me! I heard everything you said just now! Huang Xiu, you are truly despicable and shameless! I will never look down on people like you in my life!"
Huang Xiu was panicked and a little embarrassed: "Comrade Cai, you misunderstood, I..."
"I'm not crazy, I have the ability to distinguish. You are simply a despicable villain!" Cai Chunxing cursed.
…
After listening to Cai Chunxing's story, Ye Fuyue said, "Although it's very likely that Huang Xiu spread those rumors, it's difficult to find evidence to prove it. After all, there are so many people at Xiangyang Furniture Factory, it's difficult to find the source of the rumors. As long as Huang Xiu refuses to admit it, there's nothing you can do to him."
"That's true," Cai Chunxing said, "but I also have my own tricks."
Cai Chunxing raised his chin proudly and continued, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine. I pretended to be distressed and told a few of my gossipy colleagues that Huang Xiu was probably the one spreading the rumors about me. I said Huang Xiu had had a crush on me for a long time, but I'd never liked him. Huang Xiu saw that I always ignored him, which hurt his pride, so he fabricated rumors about me and spread them everywhere, pretending to be a good person and caring about me. He thought he could ruin my reputation so he could take advantage of the situation."
"Plus, Huang Xiu came to see me several times, and I yelled at him to stay away. Several colleagues witnessed this. Combined with the rumors I spread, everyone in the factory now believes that Huang Xiu spread these rumors, and that he has ulterior motives and despicable tactics."
