Lu Wanqing felt an indescribable contempt for Wei Shufen.
How stupid must she be to believe Yao Na and actually give her 20,000 yuan?
Now that something has happened, I don't dare tell them, I can only come to her.
Anyway, I'm not afraid of upsetting her!
Ten thousand yuan is not something she can't afford, but she would be extremely unwilling to give it to Wei Shufen.
Unfortunately, Wei Shufen was already in dire straits, and even if it meant losing his former dignity, he still wanted to borrow 100,000 yuan from her.
"What's the deadline?" she asked impatiently.
Wei Shufen was overjoyed and quickly got up, wiping away her tears, to tell her, "This time he still set a time of ten days, so there are six days left."
“Okay, I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing.” Lu Wanqing relented.
If things escalate, it will definitely be bad for the Han family, and she doesn't want Han Dongsheng and Zhao Xiaolan, who are preparing for their wedding, to be negatively affected.
When Wei Shufen heard that she could help, she readily agreed, "Don't just mention one thing, I'll listen to you about anything from now on."
Lu Wanqing smiled, crossed her arms, and said:
"From now on, don't interfere in Han Lei and Xiao Cui's affairs. Let them develop on their own. If Han Lei brings up marriage again, you can't refuse."
After thinking about it, Wei Shufen realized that Lin Xiaocui was capable of making money and wasn't entirely useless, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Just as he was about to ask when he could receive the 100,000 yuan, Lu Wanqing continued:
"I need some time to prepare the money. Please send me the two letters you received first, as I need to verify them."
Wei Shufen thought Lu Wanqing suspected her of cheating her out of money, so she quickly took out the letter she had been carrying in her pocket to prove that what she said was true.
Lu Wanqing received the letter, seemed lost in thought, and ignored Wei Shufen.
After the gathering ended, Lu Wanqing asked Lin Ye to take everyone home, while she went to find Han Tao to find out what had happened.
"How did these photos end up in your hands?" Han Tao asked, looking puzzled.
Lu Wanqing pretended to be relaxed: "Naturally, it was given to me by your mother. She wanted me to see if Yao Na was a good match for you as her daughter-in-law!"
Han Tao's face visibly darkened.
"You didn't come to me to persuade you to marry her, did you? This photo is a complete distortion of the facts."
Judging from his attitude, Lu Wanqing guessed what had happened; he must have been tricked.
Surprisingly, even in this era, there were cases of blackmail using such photos, comparable to the paparazzi of later generations.
Lu Wanqing stopped joking with him and made him tell her the whole story.
Wei Shufen was so confused; she kept thinking that her son had really done something to Yao Na, which was why she was so panicked.
After listening to Han Tao recount what had happened, Lu Wanqing finally understood that Yao Na had approached Wei Shufen in the first place just to fish for her!
This extortion of 100,000 yuan is probably also related to her.
To avoid alerting Han Tao, she didn't tell him the whole truth, but instead asked him to investigate Yao Na's background using his own methods, as this woman was no ordinary person.
Han Tao agreed; he also wanted to know what kind of black heart lay beneath Yao Na's hypocritical facade.
As the two parted, Han Tao suddenly handed two tickets to Lu Wanqing and said with a smile:
"This is an exhibition inside the research institute. I think Ququ will like it. Let's take him there."
"Thanks." Lu Wanqing took the tickets and said goodbye to him.
It's very late, the sky is full of stars, and a gentle breeze is blowing. At this time, Ququ is probably holding a telescope and looking at the starry sky.
Unexpectedly, his eldest son was somewhat like Han Tao, also enjoying studying these ethereal and elusive things.
Hopefully, Ququ won't be like him in matters of the heart; he's almost forty and has never had a partner.
His parents were worried about him and were even scammed.
When she got home, the three children were already asleep. Lin Ye lay on the bed, waiting for her to come back.
Seeing that she looked exhausted, he busied himself preparing a bath for her.
After the municipal government renovated the courtyard house, making water and electricity more convenient, Lin Ye renovated all the water and electricity systems in the house.
Previously, using multiple appliances would cause the circuit breaker to trip, but now it's fine to run the washing machine, refrigerator, and other appliances all at the same time.
In addition to the shower, he also specially bought a wooden bathtub for Lu Wanqing to use for bathing.
Hot water is supplied by a gas water heater, so we can have as much hot water as we need.
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but sigh that it was great to have a husband who studied science; he could figure out how to operate all the appliances in the house.
Her family's circumstances were no different from those of later generations.
When Lu Wanqing came out of the bath, Lin Ye was still awake and asked her what Wei Shufen wanted to see her about.
The couple had nothing to hide, so they told her about Wei Shufen's request.
"Do you have enough money on hand? If not, I'll ask for an advance on my salary."
However, thinking about how he only earns a little over a hundred yuan a month, he scratched his head and laughed, "It's a pity my salary isn't high."
Lu Wanqing threw back the covers, snuggled up to him, and wrapped her arms around his strong waist.
"Don't worry about the money. I can just borrow some from somewhere. The key is that this matter affects Mom and Dad. We need to find the person threatening them."
Lin Ye said angrily, "How could these people be so wicked! They must have known you were rich to get Wei Shufen to do this."
Lu Wanqing was well aware that the person behind this might be targeting her!
Going through such a long and winding road, don't you get tired?
She had already promised Wei Shufen that if things didn't go smoothly, wouldn't she be put in a very difficult position?
In the following days, she would put on heavy makeup in her spare time to get closer to Yao Na.
Yao Na had never met Lu Wanqing, and since her makeup had changed her appearance, she assumed she was just a loyal viewer.
That day, after the performance, Lu Wanqing generously gave her a large bouquet of flowers.
“My grandfather really likes you. He gets so excited whenever he sees you on TV. It’s a pity he can’t come to see your performance in person. This bracelet is his favorite family heirloom, and he asked me to give it to you.” Lu Wanqing made up a story.
It's always nice to be liked, especially when you receive gifts.
She accepted the bright green jade, feigning composure on the surface, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
She knew nothing about jade and couldn't tell the difference between this grade A jade and a genuine, very valuable piece. She immediately developed a liking for Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing took the opportunity to invite her to dinner.
However, Yao Na usually presents several faces to the public, and even when she was drunk, it was difficult to get much truthful information out of her.
However, one thing is certain: the grandfather she now calls her is just the person who adopted her. Their relationship is not simple; to outsiders they are grandfather and granddaughter, but to their families they are husband and wife.
Just as Lu Wanqing was investigating Yao Na, Wei Shufen caused another problem.
It turned out that she went to Master Li Xian again, hoping to find a way to resolve the issue.
Before she could finish speaking, Master Li Xian knew everything about her situation and told her to pay up quickly or she would be plagued by bad luck.
