Chapter 225 Take a closer look
As soon as Lu Xingye finished speaking, it was Song Lubai's turn to choke on her own saliva.
Getting married without even dating?
Or did these two secretly start dating without her knowledge?
Song Lubai paused, her hand holding the door still; she wanted to continue asking questions.
Lu Xingye looked up and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Song Lubai had no choice but to leave.
Lately, the cafeteria has been serving multigrain pancakes, and the only vegetable dish is stewed potatoes.
If you want to order something else, you can only order a single-pot stir-fry.
Song Lubai hadn't had much of an appetite lately and wasn't interested in food. After finishing her meal hastily, she returned to her dormitory and saw Sun Hong washing Lu Xingye's clothes. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked, "What's your relationship with Section Chief Lu?"
Sun Hong was a little embarrassed, her face flushed and she stammered, unable to speak.
This was the first time Song Lubai had ever seen her like this.
She would definitely say, "You two are dating!"
Sun Hong blushed and shook her head, "Not yet, we haven't mentioned it."
Song Lubai found out.
The two of them haven't yet broken through that barrier.
Judging from her behavior, she must have some feelings for Lu Xingye.
"If you do his laundry now, will he still pay you?"
Sun Hong nodded and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "They're giving more than before."
Winter clothes are hard to wash. Back then, it cost 10 cents per piece. For the past two months, she's been paid 1 yuan at a time, so she can earn 5 yuan a month. In reality, she hasn't washed many clothes.
She didn't want so much, but he forced it on her with a dark expression.
Gradually, she came to understand how he felt about her.
Sun Hong asked in a low voice, "What do you think of him?"
Song Lubai said, "I think he is a man of principle."
She and Lu Xingye didn't have much of a relationship, but he had already helped her twice. He seemed difficult to get along with, but he was actually a warm-hearted person despite his cold exterior.
Sun Hong stammered, "That...that..."
She couldn't say anything, so Song Lubai said, "You want to ask if he can be your boyfriend?"
After hanging up the clothes, Sun Hong went inside and sat on the bed, saying, "I've always wanted a home, a home of my own. He's very good to me, but I'm always afraid when I see his eyes."
Song Lubai opened the box and gave one of the remaining two chocolates to Sun Hong.
She tore open the candy wrapper and said, "You'll get used to it after a few more glances."
Sun Hong: "..."
She burst out laughing.
Song Lubai also smiled.
"If, and I mean if, you two get married in the future, will you still charge him for washing his clothes?"
Sun Hong tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll take it. Why shouldn't I? I was just saying it hypothetically. If we get married, he should give me the same amount he paid me for doing laundry before we got married, and even more after we get married. It's only fair if he pays me money if I do all the housework."
Song Lubai nodded, "That's absolutely right."
Sun Hong continued, "Before we got married, I had to charge him for washing his clothes, but after we got married, I didn't have to pay him anymore. Wasn't I losing out? After we got married, I became a free nanny."
That's the money earned through labor, why should it disappear after marriage? Even if she's not very smart, she can figure this out.
Song Lubai was thinking that Wei Yang was going to give her all his savings before they were even married. According to Sun Hong's logic, shouldn't she take care of all the housework after they got married?
Song Lubai and Sun Hong have been living together for some time now. Although they talk regularly, they have never discussed marriage in a group. But today, they started talking non-stop.
It was late at night, and they were both asleep.
The next day, when Lou Yuchun arrived at the office, he called Song Lubai over and specifically asked if the documents from the previous day had been delivered.
Song Lubai naturally replied that it had been delivered.
"Director Li is not here?"
Song Lubai nodded, "It wasn't there when I went there."
Lou Yuchun nodded. "Alright, you can go now."
There was no work atmosphere in the building, so Song Lubai took leave and went to the vicinity of Feng Li's house, which was registered in the information.
Coincidentally, just as she arrived near Feng Li's house, she saw Ma Song sitting at the door smoking.
Ma Song was taken aback when he saw her, then stood up and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Comrade Song, aren't you at work today? What brings you here?"
The other person was all smiles, and Song Lubai laughed too: "Comrade Ma, weren't you arrested? How come you're alright?"
Ma Song's smile froze. He had a gut feeling that she was here for no good reason, and he thought that Song Lubai might have come for him.
"That day was a misunderstanding. I was wrongly arrested. I am innocent, so naturally I will be fine."
Song Lubai said with a forced smile, "Then why aren't you going to work? I haven't seen you around your secretary lately."
Ma Song's smile couldn't be maintained any longer.
He asked with a long face, "Song Lubai, what exactly did you come here for today?"
Song Lubai said, "Feng Li is your cousin, and he lives with you, right?"
Ma Song's expression was extremely unnatural.
Song Lubai immediately realized that yesterday's events were related to Ma Song.
"He's my cousin. What do you want with him?"
Song Lubai shook her head, "It's nothing. I just came to see my friend. I have a friend who lives here too. I didn't expect to run into you like this."
After Song Lubai left, Ma Song began to feel uneasy.
He quickly caught up with her and stopped her, asking, "What do you mean? Explain yourself before you go."
Song Lubai crossed her arms. "What could I possibly mean? I just saw you and came to say hello. What do you think I could possibly mean?"
Ma Song heard from Feng Li last night that he hadn't gotten any leverage over Song Lubai, so he had to release her for now.
Feeling uneasy, he said, "Is there some misunderstanding between you and me?"
In Song Lubai's view, Ma Song confessed without being asked.
Song Lubai feigned ignorance and asked, "What misunderstanding?"
Ma Song fell silent.
Song Lubai left again, and this time Ma Song didn't stop her.
She sneered inwardly, certain that Ma Song was behind it all; she wouldn't be surprised if she reported him.
He has the ability to escape, so let those who help him also perish.
Song Lubai turned and headed towards the machine gun station.
She didn't want to do this, but it was impossible not to retaliate after being bullied.
Along the way, a group of teenagers were loitering around. She watched helplessly as a young woman was pushed and bullied, and then ran away looking disheveled.
Seeing this, she could only suppress her plans and leave before the group noticed her.
There have been a lot of people taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble lately, so you have to be extra careful when you go out on the street.
Over there, Feng Li returned home after a day of showing off. When he heard Ma Song say that Song Lubai had come looking for him today, he asked in surprise, "Are you sure she came for you?"
Ma Song frowned and said, "I have a feeling it's aimed at me."
Feng Li said dismissively, "What can she do to us?"
Ma Song said worriedly, "In the past, she couldn't do anything to us, but in this situation, if she wants to mess with me, there's no way she can't."
At this moment, Ma Song felt a little regretful. He should have known better than to have encouraged Feng Li yesterday and brought Song Lubai along.
Although I don't know what she can do, I always feel uneasy.
Feng Li smoked his cigarette and thought for a while, then said with a wicked grin, "If you're scared, we can bring someone to take her in tonight. She's pretty, so someone will definitely like her. Even if she suffers, she won't dare to make a fuss."
