Chapter 425: Bai Weiwei's Scam
Wang Shufen took Lu Lao's words to heart.
The old man is right. Lu Ya should experience some hardship outside and feel the misery of being away from her family's protection and wandering alone.
Only then can she truly understand who in this world cares about her the most.
Let her know that she is nothing without her family.
Moreover, the old man is meticulous in his work. Although he appears stern and unapproachable on the surface, he actually cares deeply about his grandchildren.
When it really comes down to it, the old man still protects his own.
She's more reliable than her, the mother.
All she does is cry, worry, and torment her body.
But the old man is different. He has the ability and the courage to get news of Lu Ya with a single order.
Wang Shufen took a deep breath and decided to listen to the old man.
Lu Ya wandered aimlessly down the street. At that moment, it seemed as if the heavens were deliberately working against her, as snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
She touched her cold face, and whether it was snow water or tears, it flowed down her cheeks.
She sniffled sadly, gazing at the bus stop where the bus that would take her home was waiting.
But I just couldn't bring myself to take the bus.
So, she could only wander around the streets alone.
Fortunately, she had some money in her pocket today, so she planned to find a place to stay first.
As she walked, her stomach started growling uncontrollably.
She still ate noodles in the morning and has kept it up until now.
I was starving.
His steps also began to falter.
She looked up and saw a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes on the street ahead.
She walked quickly forward, intending to buy a roasted sweet potato to fill her stomach and warm her hands.
Lu Ya walked up to the roasted sweet potato stall and said, "I'd like a roasted sweet potato, the kind that's just cooked."
After she finished speaking, the woman at the stall responded enthusiastically, "Okay!"
The woman deftly packed a sweet potato into a container and said, "Sanmao."
Lu Ya took out a five-yuan bill and handed it over, asking her to give her change.
When the woman took the money, I inadvertently saw her face clearly, and my action of taking the money suddenly froze.
She looked at her mysteriously and said, "Miss."
"What's wrong?" Lu Ya asked in a lukewarm tone as she waited for her to give her change.
The woman asked with a confident smile, "Miss, is your surname Lu?"
"Who are you?" Upon hearing her words and seeing her darting eyes, Lu Ya took a step back warily.
The woman spoke warmly, "Miss Lu, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
This person was Bai Weiwei.
She squinted at Lu Ya and said, "Miss Lu, to be honest, I know a little about physiognomy."
Lu Ya, “???”
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have a boyfriend from the countryside, right?"
Bai Weiwei looked at her confidently and continued to ask, "Is the other person's surname Li?"
Lu Ya, "!!!"
Upon hearing her words, she asked in surprise, "How did you know? Do you know Li Wei?"
Lu Ya's first reaction was that this woman had witnessed the farce at Nancheng Normal College today.
A look of shame and indignation flashed across her face.
However, Bai Weiwei denied knowing her, saying, "Of course I don't know her. I told you, I can read faces."
She looked at Lu Ya with a savior-like demeanor and said, "Miss Lu, you're saved now that you've met me."
She turned to Lu Ya and said, "Are you interested in making a deal with me?"
"If you're willing to pay me, I can tell you a secret."
She was completely confident in her words and believed she could control Lu Ya.
She dropped a bombshell: "This secret concerns the rest of your life."
Lu Ya stood there, listened to the sweet potato stall woman's words, and understood her meaning. She smiled and said, "Want money?"
Bai Weiwei would naturally not admit her truest inner needs.
She said, "It's about equivalent exchange. Miss Lu should understand the principle that divination is not done in vain."
Lu Ya wasn't buying it. She scoffed, "First, figure out why you're roasting sweet potatoes here."
Bai Weiwei said, "Miss Lu, if you don't listen to me, you will face imprisonment in the future."
She continued confidently, "Your boyfriend is having an affair. If I'm not mistaken, they should already be together behind your back by now."
"But you are naive and easily fooled, and will always be kept in the dark."
"If you're willing to make a deal with me, I can tell you that woman's name and address."
Lu Ya remained silent, simply standing there, observing the woman.
After she finished speaking, Lu Ya looked up at her and suddenly said, "You look kind of familiar, you liar."
She pressed further, "Have we met before?"
Bai Weiwei, "..."
Lu Ya squinted at Bai Weiwei, sizing her up, and asked, "I recognize you. Aren't you and my cousin-in-law related? We've met at Jishengtang, haven't we?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Weiwei's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly denied it, saying, "I don't know you."
Lu Ya sneered, "How could I not know you? If I didn't know you, how would I know my surname is Lu? You're still playing tricks on me. Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"
Lu Ya was already in a bad mood, and when she saw Bai Weiwei acting strangely and mentioning Li Wei, she became even angrier. "I don't want your sweet potato anymore."
Lu Ya threw a sweet potato at Bai Weiwei's face, then turned and left angrily.
Bai Weiwei, wearing a woolen hat and a thick cotton-padded coat, had sweet potato smeared all over her face.
She gritted her teeth and cursed.
He wiped his face.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ya wasn't as foolish as she seemed.
She remembered her past life; this woman was a hopeless romantic, deceived for years by a man from the countryside. That man held absolute power in the Lu family's company, making a fortune while keeping a mistress and having a child with her.
Lu Ya is a total sucker.
Therefore, Bai Weiwei thought that if she wanted to gain a foothold in Nancheng, she could use her memories from her past life to provide them with opportunities to change their fate in exchange for information fees.
Zhao Kai found a job repairing bicycles temporarily, and she set up her stall here mainly because it was close to Xie Zheng's company...
Unexpectedly, Xie Zheng was seen again, but instead, he ran into Lu Ya.
She thought this woman would be the easiest to fool, but to her surprise, she recognized her and, quite by her tone, seemed to be quite close to Bai Zhi.
In her past life, Lu Ya wasn't so polite to her cousin-in-law...
Bai Weiwei gritted her teeth, watching Lu Ya's departing figure, her face full of resentment and anger.
...
Bai Zhi recently got off work an hour later than usual.
Their team's research project is currently in its final stages.
She herself suggested working overtime to try and finish by the end of this month.
That way, she'll be free next month.
I plan to visit Lu Ye at the military base before the Lunar New Year and spend the holiday with him.
When she got home from get off work, there was a figure standing at the door.
