Lu Huaijiao: ...
Honestly, she was just laughing at Zhao Rui for being a fool. Anyone can afford a shirt, right?
If Zhao Rui can't even afford a shirt, then she's really stupid and poor, even more pitiful than a dog!
"Lu Huaijiao!"
After Zhao Rui shouted, she didn't hear Lu Huaijiao answer her, so she became angry and shouted even louder.
Lu Huaijiao frowned.
"What are you yelling about?" She looked very displeased, glanced at Zhao Rui who looked like she wanted to eat someone alive, and called over the sales clerk.
"Is this garment no longer in the warehouse?"
The sales clerk didn't know Lu Huaijiao, but she was very dedicated. When she heard Lu Huaijiao's question, she thought carefully before answering.
"This is the last one."
The salesperson answered honestly.
After listening, Lu Huaijiao nodded: "Then wrap it up, we'll take it."
Although her words weren't harsh, and she was even quite gentle, her tone inexplicably gave people a feeling of wanting to believe her.
Just as the saleswoman was about to do as Lu Huaijiao said, Zhao Rui stopped her: "Lu Huaijiao, didn't you hear what I just said? I want this dress. Are you deaf or doing this on purpose? Are you trying to take it from me?"
Zhao Rui exuded a powerful aura.
Behind her, Qin Yanhua's eyelids twitched rapidly, sensing that something was amiss. She looked up, about to speak, when Lu Huaijiao had already opened her mouth with a smile.
"Teacher Zhao, it's not that I want to take it from you, but the dress you want to buy is too big and doesn't fit my dad."
"What do you mean it's not suitable? I'll tell you..." Zhao Rui shouted halfway before realizing something was wrong. She looked at Lu Huaijiao suspiciously.
Zhao Rui's heart raced when she looked at Lu Huaijiao's smiling face.
"What did you just say? Who are you calling 'Dad'?"
"Huh? You haven't heard of him? Your teacher Lu, Lu Zhengde, he's my biological father. Although I've severed ties with him, it's undeniable that he was indeed my biological father before."
Lu Huaijiao looked at Zhao Rui with a smile, her teasing expression completely undisguised.
It's obvious to anyone that she did it on purpose.
That's right, Lu Huaijiao did it on purpose.
She was deliberately trying to provoke Zhao Rui.
Anyway, she and Zhao Rui didn't get along well, so there was no need for her to go against her own wishes just to consider Zhao Rui's feelings.
And what she said was true.
She wasn't making things up.
After Lu Huaijiao finished speaking, she crossed her arms and waited for Zhao Rui's reaction. Zhao Rui was already furious. She had never imagined that the person she loved had a daughter who was almost the same age as her.
She had always believed that he had never had a girlfriend.
"Xiao Rui..."
Seeing Zhao Rui's rapid breathing and pale face due to anger, Qin Yanhua, who had been keeping a close eye on her, was afraid that Zhao Rui would faint.
He quickly stepped forward to support Zhao Rui's hand: "Xiao Rui, don't worry, there's been a misunderstanding. Don't panic, take care of yourself, and don't forget you're pregnant."
Qin Yanhua was even more anxious than Zhao Rui.
This certainly doesn't mean that she likes Zhao Rui that much.
However, if Zhao Rui's health deteriorates, then the baby in her womb will be in danger.
Lu Zhengde repeatedly emphasized that this child was extremely important to the Lu family. Even if something happened to the adults, nothing could be done to the child.
If something happens to the child, the Lu family line will truly end, and even if the two of them die in the future, they will not be able to face the ancestors of the Lu family in the afterlife.
Qin Yanhua, who still holds the position of Lu Zhengde's wife, shares the same sense of honor and shame as Lu Zhengde. As someone who considers herself a daughter-in-law of the Lu family (and still is, since the two have a marriage certificate), she naturally has a responsibility to protect the Lu family's descendants.
Moreover, Lu Zhengde had told her that she was always the one he loved most, and that once Zhao Rui gave birth to the child, he would take her in, give her some money, and then send her away.
Of course, this was definitely Lu Zhengde's excuse to Qin Yanhua. Just think, what man in this world would be willing to give up a young woman and choose Qin Yanhua, a middle-aged woman?
Very few people would make that choice.
However, Qin Yanhua was determined to believe it!
It was precisely because Qin Yanhua trusted Lu Zhengde so implicitly that this situation arose. She conspired with Lu Zhengde to deceive Zhao Rui, causing Zhao Rui to bear Lu Zhengde's child…
Everything had been going well before, progressing very smoothly.
But today, after meeting Lu Huaijiao, it might be difficult to continue the relationship.
Qin Yanhua didn't want to linger here any longer, so she grabbed Zhao Rui's arm and urged her to leave quickly.
"Xiao Rui, let's go back first. The master should be back from the meeting at the school. He must really want to see you. Let's go back first."
Knowing that Zhao Rui was madly infatuated with Lu Zhengde, Qin Yanhua pulled Zhao Rui aside and used Lu Zhengde as an excuse to tell her to leave quickly.
She dared not let Zhao Rui linger here any longer. If something happened to the child in Zhao Rui's womb, it would be one reason, but there was another: Lu Zhengde might not let her off easily...
The more Qin Yanhua wanted to take Zhao Rui away, the less Zhao Rui wanted to leave.
She stood there, feeling deceived, looking at Lu Huaijiao with tears in her eyes.
Lu Huaijiao completely ignored Zhao Rui. When she heard Qin Yanhua's words, she smiled and glanced at Qin Yanhua.
"Hey, Qin Yanhua? You're still alive? I thought you were dead, which is why my dad married our Teacher Zhao. I didn't expect you to be alive."
"So you've divorced Lu Zhengde now? Lu Zhengde is really vicious. He actually divorced his wife who had been with him for decades and had given birth to two children for him. Tsk tsk tsk, what a cruel heart he has."
These words shattered Zhao Rui's last illusion.
She turned to look at Qin Yanhua in disbelief: "Aunt Qin, is what Lu Huaijiao said true? You are actually Teacher Lu's wife?"
"How could that be, Xiaorui? How could someone as pure and gentle as Teacher Lu marry someone like me? Don't listen to Lu Huaijiao's nonsense. She has a grudge against Teacher Lu, which is why she talks nonsense. Her purpose is to deliberately anger you and make you sick so she will be happy."
Qin Yanhua quickly explained.
He explained while glancing at Lu Huaijiao.
It's really tough on Qin Yanhua. At her age, not only is she disliked by her own man, but she also has to conspire with him to deceive other women.
Oh……
Lu Huaijiao curled her lips into a smile.
"Qin Yanhua, you think too highly of yourself and Lu Zhengde, don't you? What kind of trash are you two old geezers? And what kind of dog is this Zhao Rui? Would I lie on purpose just to spite you?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror and see if you're even worthy?"
She was utterly rude to people like Qin Yanhua.
