If you really ask him for money, he has none.

Yes, that’s what we’ll do from now on.

Lu Jiangting has made up his mind.

But how could Fang Qing let him do as he wished?

Even if we take a step back, it is impossible for Lin Yuyao to follow him again.

It's his daydream.

After Lu Jiangting hurriedly turned around and left, Fang Qing took a deep breath and made a decision.

She unbuttoned her thin dress and buttoned it incorrectly, giving the illusion that she had buttoned it incorrectly in a panic.

Then she ruffled her hair and chased after him in panic.

In the distance is Lu Jiangting's back without even turning back.

At the staircase entrance, Fang Qing was in a mess, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

The aunts at the staircase were staring at the scene in amazement.

"Mother Chenchen, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Qing reluctantly withdrew her gaze and almost cried as she opened her mouth.

She quickly covered her mouth, shook her head, and hurriedly climbed the stairs to go home.

He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

The power of the aunts at the stairwell was immense, and as soon as she left, the pot exploded.

"Oh, why do I remember that Chenchen's mother is a widow."

"Is she the widow? I remember that man often came to see them."

"Yes, it's the widow, and the man does come to see them often."

"So... this is just a mess?"

"What a mess! Who said that widows can't remarry? I always thought that man was pursuing Chenchen's mother."

"Huh? Are you still pursuing her? I thought they were dating."

"What? You thought they were dating? I thought they were married."

Everyone: “…”

"Why are you looking at me like that? I've seen that guy coming out of his house early in the morning more than once. If he's not married, what's this?"

ah?

Coming out of that room so early in the morning means he must have spent the night there.

They remembered that the house was a single room.

so……

"Did they have a quarrel?"

"have no idea."

"It must be. When the man left, he had a dark face, as if someone owed him two hundred yuan. Chenchen's mother ran out and cried. Did you see it?"

"Also, the buttons on my clothes were all buttoned wrong. I don't know what happened just now?"

"Is there any need to ask? They are definitely together."

"No wonder she asked my daughter-in-law to take Chenchen out to play. It turns out she wanted to get the child out of the way so she could do something else."

"Hey, this is broad daylight, I am so embarrassed."

After some deliberation, the mothers concluded that the two of them were a couple, but they didn't know whether they were married or not.

Anyway, two people just did it, and they deliberately sent the child away.

But I don’t know what happened, the man ran away with a gloomy face. The woman was so aggrieved that she chased him out without even putting on her clothes, but the man didn’t even look back.

As for why they quarreled, they didn't know.

…

After work, Lao Wang went to find Lu Jiangting with the purpose of bringing him up with Fang Qing.

After all, he had already tried to test the Lin family's girl, but there was really no chance. She even generously said she would give a gift.

When being called by Lao Wang again, Lu Jiangting already had an idea in mind and was not so confused anymore.

He was very nervous and waited quietly to be scolded.

Lao Wang asked him to stand aside and waited until he finished the work at hand before he spoke quietly.

"Jiang Ting, please sit down."

Um?

Aren't you going to reprimand him?

Why let him sit?

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

Lu Jiangting didn't dare to think too much. After thanking him, he sat down on the stool uneasily.

He thought Lao Wang was going to scold him, but Lao Wang didn't scold him. He just asked him, "What do you think of Fang Qing?"

Lu Jiangting's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was right, he had finally arrived.

He thought about it for a while, organized his words, and then slowly spoke, "It's fine. My sister-in-law and Brother Jianjun have a good relationship. After Brother Jianjun passed away, she has been working hard to take care of their son."

Lao Wang: “…”

He curled his lips, knocked his hands heavily on the table, and said, "It's already this late, and you're still pretending to be me. Let me tell you, I know everything about you and Fang Qing."

Lu Jiangting looked up at him and explained, "You misunderstood. There's nothing wrong between Fang Qing and me."

"Why are you staying overnight at someone's house? I saw that they only have one room."

"Chenchen was sick, and she was worried that she would have an attack at night. She couldn't find her way around the hospital alone, so I stayed. Although there is only one room, there is a curtain between us."

Lao Wang: “…”

"I don't know how others spread the rumor, but it must be a misunderstanding. Fang Qing is my respected sister-in-law, and there is nothing wrong between us. What you heard is all nonsense spread by others."

ah?

Lao Wang looked confused.

Then Lu Jiangting kept explaining his respect for Fang Qing, why he wanted to stay overnight at Fang Qing's house, how difficult it was for him and Wang Jianjun to come from a small place, and how their friendship was so profound that he took good care of Fang Qing and her son, and would rather suffer himself than let Chenchen suffer.

He also said that others did not understand his gratitude and kept gossiping about him behind his back, which made him very distressed.

His words confused Lao Wang.

He understood the distortion of gossip. It was not originally the case, but when more people spread it, it became distorted.

So... could it be that Lu Jiangting was really wronged?

"Are you serious?"

Lu Jiangting nodded hurriedly, "Really, it's absolutely true."

"But I heard that Miss Lin broke off the engagement with you because of what happened between you and Fang Qing?"

Lu Jiangting: “…” Who on earth said that?

How come Lao Wang even knew about him and Yu Yao?

"Yes." Lu Jiangting could only bite the bullet and admit, "Yuyao doesn't understand me either. She always thinks that I treat Fang Qing and her son too well and ignore her. But she doesn't think about it. At that time, one of Jianjun and I had to go to the explosion. If he didn't go, I had to go. If I had gone at that time..."

At this point, he choked up.

"My mental state is not as good as his. My hands were shaking at the time, so he grabbed me and went. If it was me who went, I would be the one who died."

Seeing him like this, Lao Wang didn't know what to say to him.

How do you explain this?

Someone has to go, someone has to sacrifice.

If it wasn't them, it would have been someone else.

There is no way. Today's peaceful and prosperous times were paid for with countless blood.

Of course, he also knew that it was difficult for the living to come out of it.

Seeing that Lu Jiangting was in a bad state, he thought he should see a psychiatrist.

Otherwise, what should I do if I can’t get out?

Life must go on.

In just these two days, he asked someone to arrange a psychologist for Lu Jiangting to provide post-war psychological counseling.

Then, he never mentioned anything about him and Fang Qing again.

After all, Lu Jiangting explained to him that it was a misunderstanding.
