Chapter 131

"What?!!"

It’s no wonder that Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing were surprised. After all, the reason Xu He threw the orchid to them was that she had to work overtime.

So she didn't come to work at all?

"Do you have anything important to discuss with her?"

Xia Qing was already pregnant, and her belly was now bigger. Tang Wan was a little worried about her.

So she didn't bother Xia Qing and shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal.

You go ahead and do your work. Lu Huaijing and I will go to her house and ask her later."

They both thought Xu He was at work and never thought she would be at home.

"Okay then."

Xia Qing was very busy and had no time to talk to her, so he turned around and went back into the hospital.

"Should we go to her house?"

Tang Wan looked at Lu Huaijing with confusion. She felt very anxious until she figured out Xu He's purpose.

"OK."

Lu Huaijing also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he planned to take Tang Wan to find Xu He.

But before we went over, he said, "This place is not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. Let's go buy some daily necessities for Mom."

Hearing him say this, Tang Wan was shocked. Since her mother came.

She has never been to the supply and marketing cooperative.

But there are still toothbrushes and cups at home, so I can’t be so careless in the future.

Hearing this, Tang Wan naturally would not refuse. Lu Huaijing rode a bicycle and took Tang Wan to the town.

As a result, just after parking the car, Lu Huaijing was dumbfounded when he saw the people sitting in the state-owned hotel opposite.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Wan followed his gaze and saw a pretty female comrade sitting at the outermost table in the state-owned hotel.

She was wearing a military green top and a pair of Dacron pants, looking quite elegant.

"Do you know her?"

Tang Wan didn't know why she felt so sour in her heart.

She had to listen to Lu Huaijing's explanation before getting angry, but she got an unexpected answer.

"She is Xu He."

Lu Huaijing's complicated gaze fell on the gay man opposite Xu He.

The man was elegantly dressed, with a pen pinned to his shirt, so he must be from a well-off family.

But Tang Wan inexplicably felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

Seeing Xu He chatting and laughing with that male comrade, while Lanhua looked pitiful, Tang Wan felt unhappy.

"It looks like she's dating a gay man."

It would be strange for Tang Wan to have a good impression of her if she left her daughter alone to go on a date.

"Wife, are you hungry? Let's go in and have something to eat."

Lu Huaijing glanced at Xu He with a serious look in his eyes. His eyes swept over Xu He, causing Xu He to turn her head involuntarily.

Facing Lu Huaijing's meaningful look, Xu He almost knocked over the cup of water in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Chunlin, the gay man sitting opposite her, had a puzzled look on his face, so Xu He quickly looked away.

"I'm fine."

She secretly prayed that Lu Huaijing would not come, but her prayers were in vain.

Lu Huaijing took Tang Wan into the state-owned hotel, but there was no other room inside.

However, the seat beside Xu He was still empty.

"Comrade, can we share a table with you?"

Tang Wan stood in front of Xu He with a smile on her face, and her polite questioning made Xu He subconsciously want to refuse.

However, Zhang Chunlin, who was sitting opposite her, had already said to Lu Huaijing very enthusiastically:

"Sure, sure. There's no one next to us."

"Thank you."

Tang Wan sat next to Xu He, and Lu Huaijing smiled at Tang Wan: "Wife, I'll go order the food first."

"good."

Tang Wan nodded slightly. At this time, Xu He and Zhang Chunlin's meals were ready, and Zhang Chunlin hurriedly got up to serve the dishes.

Xu He immediately took Tang Wan's hand and said, "Sister, I know you are the wife of Vice Colonel Lu.

Please, please don't tell anyone about Lanhua, and ...

She pursed her lips nervously. Ever since her man passed away, no one knew what kind of life she had been leading.

She is really going crazy!

She finally met a good man like Zhang Chunlin, and she really didn't want to miss him.

But the blind date partners she met in the past never allowed her to bring orchids. She didn't know how many times she missed out because of orchids.

So this time she didn't even mention orchids.

Before Tang Wan could reply, Zhang Chunlin came back with the food.

Xu He quickly smiled and said, "These are all my favorite dishes. Thank you, Comrade Zhang."

"You're welcome, as long as you like it."

Zhang Chunlin smiled and shook his head, looking simple and honest, and he seemed to be a decent man indeed.

No wonder Xu He doesn’t even want his own daughter anymore.

Tang Wan also noticed the logo of the brown sugar factory on the ceramic cup he took out.

A job with a stable job is a bonus.

"Today we serve coriander and pork dumplings."

Lu Huaijing brought a large portion of dumplings. It was faster to take orders instead of ordering them. He placed the aluminum lunch box in front of Tang Wan.

He also handed Tang Wan a bottle of soda.

Listening to Xu He and Zhang Chunlin chatting, Xu He's hands were shaking nervously as she held the chopsticks.

This is because she was afraid that Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing would expose her.

Tang Wan took a bite of the dumpling with amusement and said slowly, "It's delicious.

Let’s pack some for later, the kids at home are very hungry.”

"I'll do whatever you say."

Lu Huaijing responded in a muffled voice without looking up at Xu He. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his anger.

Soon, the four of them finished their meal. Zhang Chunlin offered to send Xu He off, but Xu He quickly waved his hand.

"Comrade Zhang, you should go back to work first. I can go back by myself. It will be quick."

"Okay, I'll take you there next time."

It seemed that Zhang Chunlin was indeed in a hurry to get to work, and he quickly left with his enamel bowl.

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing also finished eating, and she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xu He stood up first and said, "Let's go out and talk."

Her attitude towards Lu Huaijing was particularly cold, which made Tang Wan feel uncomfortable for some reason.

The two looked at each other and walked out. Xu He spoke first.

"Deputy Captain Lu, my man saved your life, and I don't want to pursue other matters.

But I finally met someone I like, and I hope you won’t interfere.”

She knew Lu Huaijing's ability, and since she couldn't hide it, she had to confess.

"You want to get married but no one is stopping you."

Lu Huaijing frowned. No one had ever asked her to stay with her man for the rest of her life.

He thought of the orchids at home, "Why did you lie to me that you were busy with work and leave the orchids at our house?"

"I am indeed busy with work. I just took some time to come here. I have to go to work later."

Xu He's eyes flashed, and Tang Wan directly and rudely exposed her.

"We just went to the hospital, and they said you're off today."

Xu He was stunned. She stared at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing angrily, "What do you mean? You're investigating me."

"We don't care what you want, but Lanhua is your child."

Tang Wan never thought of stopping Xu He from remarrying, but the child was so young, it would be so pitiful to leave her behind.

"Lu Huaijing, have you forgotten what you promised Lanhua's father?"

Xu He screamed, "You were the one who said you would help him take care of us.

I don't need your care, just help me take care of the orchids."
