Lu Zhen frowned and asked, "Then... what should I do from now on?"
Lu Wan said, "From the very beginning, you should have known that this path would be quite difficult. To be honest, I was tempted when I heard about so much money, but it requires betting your whole life. If you win, great; but what if you lose? I can't even imagine."
Lu Zhen's heart started racing for no apparent reason.
Because she's been living in a dream of becoming a rich woman lately, if you suddenly tell her that she can't be a rich woman and that she might have to raise a child and live a miserable life, it would be a huge mistake.
Just thinking about it makes my heart turn cold.
Lu Wan said, "Don't overthink it, let's see what happens before making a decision."
Lu Zhen pressed her temples and said, "I've been feeling uneasy. Could you help me think of a solution?"
Lu Wan's eyes flashed slightly as she asked, "What can I do? This person is elusive; perhaps something is holding him back."
Lu Zhen said, "I'll take another look today. If they don't show up in the next couple of days, then something really bad has happened."
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Have you heard anything unusual lately?"
Lu Wan shook her head and said, "No."
Things have been going so smoothly lately that she's a little uneasy.
But she couldn't say it out loud.
Ruan Huaizhu: "Second sister, have you noticed that Lu Wan's expression has changed?"
After asking that question, she realized she might have gone too far.
Second Sister probably doesn't know Lu Wan very well.
Ruan Qingling said, "She has indeed changed; she has become cold-blooded and ruthless."
Ruan Huaizhu nodded and said, "That's true, that's how it is for me too."
Nguyen Thanh Ling briefly told Nguyen Hoai Chu about some recent events at the school.
Ruan Huaizhu's eyes flashed with astonishment: "You mean Lu Hongqi is having an affair?"
Ruan Qingling nodded and said, "That's roughly the idea."
Ruan Huaizhu found it unbelievable: "He's a person of status now, surely he knows the consequences of doing this?"
Ruan Qingling, however, was much calmer: "I think everyone knows the result, but whether or not one can resist temptation is another matter. It's just that I find it a bit strange."
Ruan Huaizhu asked, "What's strange?"
Her curiosity had been piqued.
Ruan Qingling said, "What I find strange is that girl. She's already a college student. If she works a little harder, her future will be limitless after graduation. But now, it's not a case of the man pursuing the woman; I feel like it's the woman pursuing the man."
Ruan Huaizhu nearly popped her eyes out. In her mind, she thought that girls should be the ones being pursued.
Although she is easygoing, she still holds traditional views.
Ruan Qingling said, "Actually, none of these things are important. The most important thing is that I have a feeling of becoming more and more confused."
Ruan Huaizhu asked, "What do you mean?"
"Their relationship..." Ruan Qingling said.
She simply stated what made her doubts.
It was only when Lu Wan returned to school that she realized that Lu Wan and Shang Yan knew each other before, and perhaps they were in the same circle in Jingcheng.
The friendship between Shang Yan and Lu Wan seems to be quite deep, but Shang Yan is just a spineless coward.
Ruan Huaizhu expressed her agreement, saying that she personally witnessed her husband eating with a female student in the dormitory, but she didn't dare to approach him.
On a larger scale, once the matter comes to light, both of their reputations will be affected.
Shang Yan's family wasn't very influential, and after marrying Lu Hongqi, she lived a life that people envied. But no one expected that once something that people envied wasn't theirs, once it was blocked, the pampered canary would lose the ability to support herself.
Looking at Ruan Qingling, Ruan Huaizhu now understood why her second sister had worked so hard.
Ruan Qingling said, "No matter how good a man is, marriage is about mutual benefit. If two people can grow together, they will go further."
Ruan Huaizhu nodded.
By this time, Lu Zhen and Lu Wan had finished eating.
They went outside. Lu Zhen was already walking a little clumsily. Ruan Huaizhu glanced outside and said quietly, "I never expected that Lu Zhen, no matter what, is a modern woman, to raise a child for someone like Song Hongyu for money."
"Just like my older sister said, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats' offspring know how to dig holes. Song Hongyu is wicked to the core. His parents are bad people, and he is a bad person too. Does that mean their children will be good people in the future? Why does she continue this vile behavior?"
Ruan Qingling laughed: "There is a greedy thing in human nature. Let's not admire their performance art here. What we need to figure out now is whether Lu Wan really followed Song Shirong's old path, and whether she is doing something for Song Shirong and his group?"
"If that's the case, what kind of interests lie behind Lu Wan? What's enticing her?"
Ruan Huaizhu pursed her lips and said, "I really want to just grab him and beat him up, then interrogate him."
Ruan Qingling: "Let's not alert them yet. Let's see what they're doing and who they're looking for at the bathhouse."
Ruan Huaizhu nodded and said, "Second sister, you go back first, I'll go take a look."
Ruan Qingling nodded.
When she got home, Ya Ya was still waiting for her.
Upon seeing her mother, Ya Ya immediately asked, "Mom, why aren't you home for dinner?"
Ruan Qingling patted Ya Ya's head and said with a smile, "Mom isn't not coming home for dinner, Mom had something to take care of and just went to deal with it."
"Mom, have you eaten?"
Ya Ya tilted her little head and asked with concern.
Her cute little face was full of innocent childishness.
They've learned to care about others.
Ruan Qingling gently touched Ya Ya's little face and said with a smile, "Mommy, you've eaten before you came back. Did you eat dinner tonight? Did you eat well by yourself?"
Ya Ya nodded seriously and gestured with her hands, showing that she was using a soup spoon to put food into her mouth.
Ruan Qingling smiled and picked her up.
Song Ji was worried about her daughter, as she had been coming home for meals less and less lately, and was also busy on weekends.
She said, "Yesterday your mother-in-law said that she wanted you to take Yaya to stay there for two days over the weekend, but I didn't dare to agree."
Ruan Qingling carried Ya Ya towards the house, asking as they walked, "Mom, didn't you tell him that besides going to school, I'm also learning how to do business?"
Song Ji: "I told her, but your mother-in-law didn't say anything, she just frowned. She should go back to stay for a couple of days, otherwise everyone will scold me."
Ruan Qingling could only say, "I'll find some time to think about it. Staying there for two days is probably impossible. I think my second uncle's business has great commercial potential, and I can learn a lot there."
More importantly, Ruan Qingling intends to do this well and do it with excellence, and to take over the business and the production factory behind it.
She needs to familiarize herself with these people, build these connections, and increase her confidence and wealth.
Holding her daughter, she sat down and her eyes fell on the old almanac on the wall.
She frowned slightly.
