Because they had informed Uncle Lu in advance, they were able to wait until the day after they received their salaries before leaving Shenzhen and setting off for the capital.
This time, it was still under the guise of an official business trip, lasting for half a month. Due to the urgency of the situation, they were using Lu Qingfeng's company car.
The two of them took turns driving, and they completed the journey, which should have taken four days, in just two and a half days.
Because my uncle and his family had been notified in advance that they were coming, my uncle waited for them on the way. They only returned to their home in the compound after they had unloaded the goods they were delivering.
After traveling for so many days, even though there was space and well water to replenish our fluids, we were still quite tired.
As soon as she got home, He Caiwei prepared to take a shower and then go to sleep.
Seeing that he was like this, Lu Qingfeng didn't disturb him and told her to go and rest first. After he finished washing up, he went out for a while and returned about two and a half hours later. By this time, He Caiwei had already taken a nap and was getting ready to cook.
He heard the door open outside and thought it was his uncle and aunt coming home from get off work.
After waiting for a while, he heard his brother talking to someone outside.
Hearing others talking, she quickly went upstairs, changed her clothes, and came down.
She had assumed her brother was back, which was why she hadn't thought to change out of her pajamas. Now that she heard outsiders' voices, it meant there were guests at home, and it was no longer appropriate for her to wear those clothes.
When he finished changing his clothes and came out of the room, he noticed two people he didn't recognize sitting in the living room. It seemed that one of them had gone to the kitchen to get water. Only after hearing his brother's voice did she feel relieved and come downstairs.
"Weiwei, you're up. Mom and Dad won't be home for dinner tonight. These two are my classmates, Cao Wenxi and Yang Ruihong, who just came out of the lab. This is my wife, He Caiwei." Lu Qingfeng briefly introduced his two classmates before introducing his wife to them.
The two classmates were completely stunned when they saw Caiwei.
"No, Lao Lu, isn't this your sister? How did she become your wife? What about Qiu Yue? Wasn't Qiu Yue your girlfriend? You even sent her a lot of love letters back then?" The one who spoke was Cao Wenxi, whom Lu Qingfeng had just introduced. The man's eyes were full of jealousy, and he looked like someone with impure intentions. Especially when he talked about Qiu Yue, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Based on what he just said, He Caiwei was certain that Cao Wenxi had designs on that woman named Qiuyue, otherwise he wouldn't have said such things at home, especially in front of his wife.
Upon hearing the word "love letter," He Caiwei's eyebrows shot up. Her brother could actually write love letters? How come she didn't know? So her brother still had a crush on someone. She just didn't know what those two were thinking, and why they would come to her house to say such things.
"Cao Wenxi, shut up. Your liking for He Qiuyue is your business and has nothing to do with me. You know better than I do what those love letters are all about. I only helped you out today because you're my classmate, and instead of being grateful, you're trying to sow discord. Please get out of here right now." After his initial confusion, Lu Qingfeng finally realized what this person was up to.
He really was blind. The two people had just crawled out of the laboratory when they were chased all over the street by that group of crazy little red soldiers. He happened to pass by and lent them a hand. He never expected that he would help such an ungrateful wretch.
The man named Cao Wenxi wanted to argue a bit more, but the person next to him grabbed him and pulled him away. Perhaps the other person also had some other emotions, otherwise a highly educated person wouldn't have left so rudely and indecently.
After the two men left, Lu Qingfeng specifically called the guards outside to have them removed, so they wouldn't wander around inside and disturb the other people in the compound.
“Weiwei, don’t listen to Cao Wenxi’s nonsense… those love letters he mentioned were all written by him, but he didn’t dare to send them to He Qiuyue. He Qiuyue and I are classmates and friends, so he asked me to deliver those letters to him.” After getting rid of the man, Lu Qingfeng quickly came over to explain to his wife. He couldn’t let his wife misunderstand him; he had only ever liked this girl since he was a child.
"He Qiuyue's family also wanted to curry favor with her father, which is why they tacitly approved of those comments. Or rather, those comments were all orchestrated by them. I didn't want to bother with these people, thinking that once we left school, nothing could be blamed on us. Who knew that after I kindly saved this person once, he would still come back to disgust me."
When Lu Qingfeng was in college, there were quite a few rumors circulating on campus. However, he was a rather easygoing person, and with this girl in his heart, he simply went back and forth between school and home every day. At the time, he thought that since he wasn't staying in the capital, he could just leave the school and everything would be fine.
He felt that no one could blame him for things he hadn't done, but now that I think about it, he was really a bit too confident.
Who knew this person was so petty and narrow-minded? He liked her but didn't dare to say it, and now he actually dares to say such things in front of his wife. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have brought her home.
He thought that things were too chaotic outside, so he could take advantage of whatever he could. But it seems he was too naive. Some people's character doesn't improve over time.
I thought that after graduating from university and entering the lab, I could finally get to know the true character of these people. But who would have thought that after several years, they would still be like this?
"Alright, alright, brother, don't be angry. You stay here for a bit, I'll go cook. Mom and Dad aren't coming home for dinner tonight, so what are we going to eat? By the way, where did you go just now? How's the situation outside?" He Caiwei, of course, trusted her brother. They had grown up together since childhood, and she knew what kind of person he was.
Besides, they've been engaged for six or seven years. They probably spend more time together each year than her uncle and aunt. How could they not see what kind of person he is after all these years?
“We have to leave after one day. It’s too chaotic here. Those people are smashing things everywhere like madmen. Don’t worry about Dad. You told me to ask a leader to write a calligraphy piece for ‘Serving the People,’ and he has already done it. It’s hanging up right now. Don’t worry, it’s fine. Dad has been quite low-key these past few years.” Lu Qingfeng told his wife what he had just seen and heard outside. He felt that they couldn’t stay here for too long, afraid that he would lose control.
He knew he couldn't stop it; he had just been blinded by greed, thinking they were classmates and he should help if he could. Although he regretted helping those two people now, looking at their crazy energy, he was genuinely a little scared.
