When he heard the rumor again, he scolded the person who spread it.

But what should he do if he doesn't care? Fang Qing was getting so anxious that she called Lu Jiangting again, but he didn't answer her call.

She couldn't get in even if she wanted to. As long as Lu Jiangting didn't go out, she couldn't see him.

This made her unable to sleep or eat, and she was distracted at work. She made several mistakes in a row and was scolded by her leader.

If she hadn't been a relative arranged by her superiors, she would have been fired long ago.

But Fang Qing said nothing.

What bothered her most now was not only the fact that she couldn't call Lu Jiangting, but also the uneasiness caused by Lao Wang not caring about her, and not even the fact that she was scolded by her leader for doing something wrong.

But it's the gossip downstairs.

If a few aunts gather together, there will be one today, two tomorrow, and after a few more days, there will be seven, eight, or nine.

Not only was she criticized, but her son was also criticized.

She had an emergency before and was able to ask her neighbor across the street to help take care of her child.

I heard that their family is a martyr's family, and the neighboring family also likes her son very much.

Now, when she knocks on the door, the neighbors won’t open it, and they won’t let their children play with Chenchen.

Chenchen couldn't find any other kids to play with, so he cried several times.

But this was all her own fault, she can't blame anyone else.

Fang Qing finally realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

Her reputation even reached the ears of Lin Yuyao, who never gossiped with the ladies in the stairwell.

She was on leave that day, and when she was going home after buying groceries, she heard a few middle-aged women sitting together at the staircase talking about Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing.

When she went out, she hadn't realized they were talking about the two of them. When she came back from buying groceries, the aunts were still talking about them, and they mentioned the families of martyrs, saying that it was not easy for a woman to raise a son, and that she was deceived by a man. Then Lin Yuyao realized that they were talking about Fang Qing and Lu Jiangting.

She hid on the second floor stairs and eavesdropped for a long time, and finally understood what was going on.

I don't know what the original version was like, but the current version is that Fang Qing was slept with by Lu Jiangting for nothing, and he deceived her, not only about her body but also about her way of doing things.

Because they think that the young and handsome Lu Jiangting can be with Fang Qing because of her connections.

After all, she was a martyr's family member and had some influence with the higher-ups. Through her connections, Lu Jiangting was able to find a decent job.

Now that she has a stable job, he kicked her out.

Lin Yuyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. They were even better at making up stories than she was.

When Fu Huaiyi came to help her fix the windows in the evening, she asked casually.

"Didn't your leader say he wanted to bring Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing together? Why is there no movement again?"

Fu Huaiyi: "..." Why does she care about Lu Jiangting again?

"Is it inconvenient to talk about it? Then forget it."

"No, I don't know about this either. A few days ago, Lao Wang called Lu Jiangting away, and when Lu Jiangting came back, his eyes were red. We all thought that Lao Wang had scolded him, but that wasn't the case. I don't know what he said to Lao Wang, but after he came out, several people who spread rumors were scolded."

ah?

"What rumors are spreading?"

He said it briefly, and Lin Yuyao wanted to laugh.

So the source of the rumors is actually Fu Huaiyi?

"Did you really see that?"

"Well, can I lie? I saw with my own eyes that Lu Jiangting came out of Fang Qing's house in a panic, around six in the morning. I also went to Fang Qing's house and there was indeed only one room in the house. I didn't spread it nonsense, and I warned Yi Yunshuo not to guess. He was not panicking because he had done something, but because he misremembered the working hours."

Lin Yuyao: “…” She just realized that Fu Huaiyi was quite eccentric.

If his words were to get out, who knows how they would be interpreted after being passed on to a few more people.

No wonder Lao Wang came to me and said those words.

"Your leader, Mr. Wang, is here to see me."

"Hmm? What do I want to see you for?"

"Ask me if there is still a chance for Lu Jiangting and I."

Fu Huaiyi immediately became nervous.

"What did you say?"

Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and said, "Why are you so nervous? Of course it's impossible. I also said that if they can get married, I am willing to give a gift money."

Fu Huaiyi heaved a sigh of relief, and then said, "Why should we give them membership fees? It's a bargain for them."

Lin Yuyao: "I'll take it back after I get married."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

Lin Yuyao: “…”

The words that came out of her mouth stunned both of them.

Then there was an awkward atmosphere.

Lin Yuyao went over with a broom, while Fu Huaiyi took a hammer and hammered the nails that had already been driven in tighter.

After a long while, when the awkwardness was almost over, Fu Huaiyi whispered again, "Didn't you say that you don't consider getting married for the time being?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Yes, for now. I think I'll consider it in the future. Otherwise, who will inherit my copyright?"

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"Just for this?"

“Ah? Yes… ah?”

"Ahem, that's good. I also want to have a child, but I want someone to inherit my collection."

The two chatted as if joking.

But it seemed like he was introducing himself seriously and going on a blind date seriously.

If you really want to be together, it would be good to briefly introduce each other's personality, hobbies, and other aspects.

If you have any bad habits that the other party cannot accept, it is better to speak out as soon as possible to stop the damage.

"What do you have in your collection?" Lin Yuyao asked.

"As for me, I love collecting stamps."

Lin Yuyao nodded, thinking that this was a good habit, as stamps were quite expensive at that time.

“I also like to collect all kinds of coins.”

Um?

"Which one do you mean?"

"There have always been some since ancient times."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Fu Huaiyi was a little nervous, worried that she would think he was picking up junk and was a plaything-dead spendthrift. He carefully explained, "It didn't cost much. I will definitely do what I can."

Lin Yuyao asked curiously, "Why do you like these at such a young age?"

This……

"It seems that very few young people like these things," Lin Yuyao added.

"I was influenced by my grandfather. You don't think this is my grandfather's habit, right?"

Well……

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Nothing, it's fine, I like everything regardless of age."

Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I hope you don't mind."

Ah? What am I...what am I complaining about?

"What are your hobbies?" Fu Huaiyi asked again.

Lin Yuyao thought about it carefully, what hobbies could she have?

It seems like I have no hobbies in my two lives.

She thought seriously for a while and said, "My family is not well off. It's hard for me to have good food and clothes. I don't have any hobbies."

What hobbies can a poor person have?

She really doesn't have any particular hobbies at the moment.

Lin Yuyao realized that she was feeling sorry for herself again, so she smiled and explained, "Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I won't have it in the future. Maybe when I'm financially well-off, I'll develop a hobby."

The first payment for the royalties from Lin Yuyao's second book is coming soon. I heard from the editor that it's selling very well and she will be rich soon.
