The Lu family.
Lu Zhengde lived in a quiet little courtyard.
The courtyard was very ordinary, hidden among residential houses. This was the accommodation that Liu Aiguo had arranged for him; it was very ordinary, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
Here, he can do many things he wants to do.
"Teacher Lu..."
A young woman's voice came from outside the house.
Lu Zhengde and Qin Yanhua were about to have dinner when they heard the sound. He looked up at the door.
Qin Yanhua also looked towards the doorway.
"It's the Lunar New Year, and that girl from the Zhao family isn't home. What does she want from you?" Perhaps because she rose from the position of mistress, Qin Yanhua was particularly sensitive to matters between men and women.
She stared at Lu Zhengde with exceptional sternness.
She was afraid that if she lost her focus even slightly, her man would be seduced by some vixen outside.
Before, they still had Huaiyu, their child, so she wasn't too worried that Lu Zhengde would change his mind. Now Huaiyu is gone, and even Sisi is gone...
In this world, only she and Lu Zhengde remained.
If Qin Yanhua wants to keep an eye on Lu Zhengde, she has to keep a closer eye on him.
Lu Zhengde was an extremely intelligent man. He sensed something was amiss from Qin Yanhua's words.
He put down his chopsticks and glanced at Qin Yanhua.
For the past six months or so, he has been teaching at a primary school, taking good care of his health and recovering from the exhaustion he experienced on the farm.
Lu Zhengde now has fair skin and a tall stature. Although his features show signs of age, his refined and scholarly demeanor is undeniable even with glasses on.
In addition, he was a proper college student, and before going to the farm, he had been a leader in the power supply station in Shanghai for several years... Putting aside his character, his appearance and knowledge must have been outstanding.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted so many women who were so fond of him.
He glanced at Qin Yanhua indifferently, his eyes containing something frightening—coldness and a lack of affection.
Qin Yanhua's heart skipped a beat.
I instinctively took a step back.
"master……"
Many years have passed, and she has two children, both of whom have died, but Qin Yanhua has still not been able to change how she addresses Lu Zhengde.
When Lu Zhengde showed his displeasure, Qin Yanhua's face also clearly showed a trace of fear.
After his gaze made Qin Yanhua back down, Lu Zhengde stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to walk out.
Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and glanced back at Qin Yanhua sitting at the table: "If you don't want me to send you back to your parents' home, shut your mouth. You need to know what you should and shouldn't say. If you want to eat for a few more years, you need to learn to keep quiet."
These words are a blatant threat.
Qin Yanhua froze, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave. A chilling sensation spread from her head to her toes, permeating her entire body, and every drop of her blood was filled with coldness.
The man she had loved for most of her life, whom she had painstakingly stolen away, not only failed to be loving and devoted to her until old age, but is now even threatening her?
Don't think she didn't realize that Lu Zhengde's words just now contained murderous intent.
If she dares to do anything reckless, he will kill her...
Thinking of this, Qin Yanhua felt frozen, and her heart shattered into pieces.
Outside the Lu family courtyard.
Wearing a red woolen coat and carrying a thermal lunchbox, Zhao Rui, with her long black hair tied into two braids, was looking down at the snow at the entrance of the courtyard, preparing what she was going to say.
She knew it was Chinese New Year, and on such a special day, it wasn't appropriate for an unmarried girl like her to suddenly come to Teacher Lu's house.
But she couldn't help it; she couldn't control her longing for Teacher Lu.
During the time of family reunions, she desperately missed Lu Zhengde and wanted to be with him.
Even if they did nothing, she could spend the whole day with him. This was a feeling she had never had before when she liked Gu Changzheng.
Okay, on a side note, it's also because Gu Changzheng never gave Zhao Rui any improper thoughts; he didn't even pay any attention to her.
Even under these circumstances, Zhao Rui was still infatuated with Gu Changzheng for quite some time. She even threatened to kill herself to get her mother to beg Gu Changzheng to be with her, which caused quite a bit of a joke.
Hu Meiyu was lectured by Zhao Guofu for a long time because of this.
As for Zhao Rui, after realizing that even if she threatened her life, Gu Changzheng would not treat her differently, she gave up her suicidal thoughts.
I stayed at home for a long time, and then stayed at my grandmother's house for two months before I could finally put the past behind me and return to the city.
After returning to the city, Zhao Rui, through Xu Xiuyun's introduction, got a job as a substitute teacher at the elementary school where Lu Zhengde worked. Originally, Zhao Rui looked down on this kind of substitute teacher job. She went to the school with great impatience, only to run into Lu Zhengde, who was talking to a parent.
Zhao Rui was instantly captivated by Lu Zhengde.
Such a gentle and refined man, with an extraordinary demeanor, was exactly the man she had always dreamed of.
Moreover, he has a particularly good temper and personality. No matter how much someone dislikes him, he can still smile and talk to them politely, unlike those hotheads who easily lose their temper and throw tantrums.
Zhao Rui was completely captivated by Lu Zhengde.
At school, she didn't shy away from asking Lu Zhengde about his studies, and used this as an excuse to get closer to him.
Even knowing that Lu Zhengde had a nanny with him and that their relationship might be somewhat ambiguous, Zhao Rui couldn't control her feelings.
She became infatuated with this man who was twelve years her senior.
However, if Zhao Rui could control her heart, she wouldn't have come here alone at this time.
Hearing the sound of footsteps falling on the snow in the courtyard, Zhao Rui's cheeks flushed red the moment she looked up.
She cupped her face in her hands and couldn't help but start daydreaming.
Teacher Lu is indeed a representative of refinement and elegance. Even his walk is so graceful. Every footstep reveals his cultivation and extraordinary demeanor.
What makes her so special that she could fall for someone as outstanding as Teacher Lu?
Zhao Rui was trying to win him over, her eyes filled with infatuation.
With a creak, the wooden door was pulled open from the inside by Lu Zhengde, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue Zhongshan suit stood behind the door, holding a black umbrella in his hand.
He looked up at Zhao Rui.
"Teacher Zhao? What brings you here?"
Lu Zhengde is so polite.
See? Even when speaking to Zhao Rui, who's old enough to be his daughter, he still uses the formal "you" (formal)? This kind of trick is hard for ordinary people to see through, let alone someone as love-struck as Zhao Rui.
That means they absolutely cannot see through Lu Zhengde's true colors.
