Chapter 69: He Manman seems to be followed by a spy, Lu Chiyu tests
The woman was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. Her appearance could only be described as pretty, or even a little ugly, but her dress was very unusual.
People like Qian Fanghua today didn't think much of it, but Lu Chiyu, who came from the future, could tell that the clothes they were wearing were all famous foreign brands.
Especially her hair, Lu Chiyu always felt that it was a bit like the hair styled by women in their daily lives.
The first time Lu Chiyu saw the other person, he inexplicably felt that he looked like someone who lived an ordinary life.
The most suspicious thing was the large handbag the other person was carrying. The bag looked bulging and it was obvious that it contained a lot of things.
And the style of the handbag doesn’t look like a domestic model!
Lu Chiyu had at least been in the so-called "upper class" in her previous life, so she was quite confident in identifying whether the things on the other person were from big foreign brands.
So she couldn't help but ask Qian Fanghua beside her: "Sister Hai, do you know who the female comrade next to He Manman is?"
Qian Fanghua had just dug up a huge winter bamboo shoot. Upon hearing this, he glanced at He Manman and the other person in the distance and said, "I actually know this person. I heard that he's a parent of a student that He Manman met when she was a teacher at school. He's also an obstetrician and gynecologist at a hospital in the city.
Didn't He Manman say before that she had prenatal depression? It was diagnosed in their hospital. This female doctor has come to our family compound several times recently, saying she was there to accompany He Manman. He Manman needs someone to help with her prenatal depression.
Doctors?! Lu Chiyu's suspicion deepened upon hearing this. In the spy dramas she had watched in her previous life, doctors and nurses were exactly the professions that the enemy spies liked to pick. And this wasn't a fabrication; it was actually true, because these professions allowed them to come into contact with people from all walks of life!
A military wife nearby couldn't help but grumble, "In my opinion, He Manman's prenatal depression is probably fake. She just fabricated it to avoid punishment for abandoning someone else's child.
You don't know that I heard my wife say that He Manman and his wife have been running around saying that He Manman's depression has worsened in recent days. Humph, she abandoned someone else's child, and Xie Hongjun and his wife haven't been depressed yet, so why is her depression worsening? Isn't this like our military region is bullying her?"
The others nodded in agreement.
Lu Chiyu also felt that with the scheming of He Manman and his wife, this prenatal depression was very likely caused by them on purpose, but now she cared more about the identity of that woman.
She was just thinking about how to get closer to the other party to get more information, but she didn't expect that the other party would come to her door first.
The woman smiled and pulled He Manman towards them. He Manman was obviously still a little awkward and didn't want to come over, but was still pulled over by the woman.
"Hello, fellow military wives. I'm He Manying, a doctor at Hai City Third People's Hospital. I'm very happy to meet you." He Manying stepped forward and greeted Lu Chiyu and the others enthusiastically.
Lu Chiyu noticed again that the other party's words "glad to meet them" were a bit too Western, at least a bit strange in this era, and the other party's name made her feel uncomfortable again.
So she deliberately said, "So, comrade, you have the same last name as Comrade He Manman, and is the Ying in your name the same as the Sakura in cherry blossoms?"
He Manying was indeed flustered and shook her head hurriedly, saying, "Comrade Lu Chiyu, you're joking. How could I possibly use the character Ying (Sakura) as my name? That's the flower we grow in our hometown. People in our country definitely can't use that character as their name. My Ying means hero."
Seeing He Manying's guilty reaction, Lu Chiyu became more certain of his suspicions. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Does Manying want to plant their cherry trees all over our country?"
Oh, what a big ambition, but unfortunately our country is only full of heroes and martyrs!
He Manman, on the other hand, thought that Lu Chiyu was deliberately looking for trouble and sneered, "Lu Chiyu, what do you mean? Is the grudge between us worth you coming up to my friend and mocking him?
What cherry blossoms? I think you are just trying to cause trouble for Sister Manying so that you can make fun of me, He Manman!"
Seeing that He Manman was still so brainless and arrogant, Lu Chiyu almost rolled his eyes, but it was true that the other party's words at this time could reduce He Manying's suspicion of her previous test.
So she acted arrogantly: "Comrade He Manman, how could I deliberately pick a fight with your friend? I just said it casually, and I absolutely did not mean to slander her as someone who lives a simple life."
Although I said that, the expression on my face made it clear that I did it on purpose.
Sure enough, Lu Chiyu secretly paid attention to He Manying, and became even more panicked when he saw the other person's expression.
Then the other party hurriedly smiled and changed the subject, "Haha, Comrade Lu Chiyu, you really like to joke around. Actually, I understand that the conflicts between you and Manman are just minor ones. We are all revolutionary comrades, and we must not destroy our unity over such a small matter."
Lu Chiyu continued arrogantly, "Tsk, Comrade He Manying, please stop sugarcoating the situation for us. There is indeed a grudge between us.
Don't blame me for targeting you. You should know that the friend of my enemy is also my enemy. If you continue to be with He Manman, it is normal for me to target you. So why don't you break up with He Manman now? How about being friends with you because you are dressed nicely?
By the way, your bag is really nice. Where did you buy it? Can you buy me one too? The bags here in Hai City are all ugly. I don’t have any hobbies, I just like to carry nice bags.
He Manman didn't expect Lu Chiyu to steal her girlfriend right then and there. She was so angry that she pointed at her and yelled, "Lu Chiyu, are you shameless? If you want to buy a bag, buy it yourself. Why should Sister Manying buy it for you?"
Lu Chiyu continued to play the role of a brainless, vain lover of beauty, and said disdainfully: "It's not like I don't want to pay. The fact that I like Comrade He Manying's bag must mean I have a good taste in it, you know."
He Manying was overwhelmed at this time and had completely lost the ability to analyze the situation.
She saw that Lu Chiyu was indeed carrying a very cute cross-body bag in addition to the basket for picking winter bamboo shoots, which was different from other military wives. The cross-body bag looked quite fashionable, so she immediately believed what he said.
She was worrying about how to establish a good relationship with the lover of Gu Yuan, the King of Soldiers of the South Island Military Region, so she smiled flatteringly when she saw him.
"Comrade Lu Chiyu, we are both revolutionary comrades. I can be good friends with Comrade He Manman, so naturally I won't discriminate against you.
But I bought this bag at a department store in Shanghai, so I can't buy it for you right now. How about you give me the money first, and I'll buy it for you when I go back to my hometown this year?"
Lu Chiyu made a heartbroken expression when he heard this: "Ah, I have to pay for this thing before I even get it. How much is it? It can't be too expensive, otherwise my lover won't pay."
He Manying almost rolled her eyes. Is the soldier king of their South Island Military Region so stingy? But she held it back and continued to smile: "It's not expensive. It seems to only cost ten yuan."
In fact, this bag costs thousands of yuan when bought abroad, but she was afraid that if she asked for too much, the girl would not want it, and then the two of them would have no "bridge" to develop their relationship, so she only dared to say ten yuan.
Who knew that before Lu Chiyu could say anything, Guo Caixia beside him exclaimed, "My dear, this bag is not expensive at ten yuan.
"Xiao Lu, I can make whatever kind of bag you want. You just need to give me the cloth. I guarantee that my bag will look better than hers."
Lu Chiyu: ...My dear sister-in-law, you are just telling the truth.
Although he thought so in his heart, his face was full of curiosity as he wanted to touch He Manying's bag: "Then let me take a good look and see if we can make this bag."
Sure enough, when he saw her reaching out, He Manying quickly dodged to the side!
