Lian Qizhen couldn't help but feel discouraged. "Are you stupid? How come your face doesn't show any reaction whether you're happy or angry? You're as boring as when we were little."

Zhu Weidong didn't say anything, but Lian Qizhen was used to it. "Zhu Weidong, I'm talking to you."

Zhu Weidong said calmly, "I have always been like this."

Lian Qizhen said, "We are different from others. We grew up together. When I went to your house as a child, we lived together."

Finally, she leaned over with a smile and said, "If I had come back from abroad earlier, I would have married you."

Zhu Weidong frowned, "I have a wife, and I like women."

Lian Qizhen was so angry that she jumped up and down, "How am I not like a woman? Is it because I don't have breasts or a butt?"

While she was jumping on the spot, Zhu Weidong had already left her five steps behind, and Lian Qizhen chased after him angrily.

In the accounting office, Gu Baoshan had been absent-minded since morning, and from time to time he stood up and looked out at the door.

Chi Fangping smiled and joked, "Don't worry, Zhu Weidong and Lian Qizhen are just friends, and they grew up together. They lived together when they were young, and Zhu Weidong didn't regard Lian Qizhen as a woman. Ji Ling is not a stingy woman, she won't be angry."

"Besides, if the two of them really have something going on, they wouldn't live together so blatantly."

Gu Baoshan walked back and sat down. "Sister Chi, you can't say Ji Ling is stingy for this. In my opinion, any wife would feel uncomfortable if they heard that their husband lives with a woman."

Chi Fangping apologized, "Okay, okay, I was too talkative."

Gu Baoshan said anxiously, embarrassed, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to express my thoughts."

"I understand." Chi Fangping smiled and said nothing more.

After getting up for the Nth time, Gu Baoshan suddenly pushed the door open and walked out. A stream of cold water blew in and splashed on Chi Fangping's face.

She stopped writing, looked at Gu Baoshan's back as he left, and then smiled and said to other colleagues, "It seems that Engineer Zhu is back."

Others laughed too.

Most accountants are men, and there are not many women. The chief accountant here is Chi Fangping, and everyone is under her supervision.

Men also like to gossip, but they won’t tell Chi Fangping about it. After all, they have to maintain their image in front of women.

Although I was anxious about what would happen next, I didn't dare show it on my face.

Gu Baoshan rushed to Zhu Weidong and said, "Engineer Zhu, Ji Ling is here. She arrived last night."

Gu Baoshan was blocking the way in front of Zhu Weidong. Zhu Weidong had to stop. He stared at Gu Baoshan and did not speak for a long time.

Gu Baoshan thought that he was stunned because he was shocked by the news just now, and he didn't know that Zhu Weidong was guessing who was talking to him.

Before Zhu Weidong could react, Lian Qizhen caught up with him. "Ji Ling? Zhu Weidong's lover?"

Gu Baoshan nodded, and spoke to Lian Qizhen with hostility, "Yes, Xiaoling also knows that Engineer Lian and Engineer Zhu live together."

Lian Qizhen smiled nonchalantly, "So what? Zhu Weidong and I are close friends."

As she spoke, she put one arm around Zhu Weidong's neck and tried to hug him, but she was short, and as soon as she put her arm around him and before she could use any strength, Zhu Weidong pushed her down.

When Zhu Weidong heard that his wife was coming, he no longer wanted to confirm who the person in front of him was.

He asked, "Is anyone in my room?"

He had already walked around Gu Baoshan and was moving forward.

Gu Baoshan ignored Lian Qizhen and followed him. "He lives in the empty house at the back. He goes to bed at dawn and should not be up yet."

Zhu Weidong paused for a moment and continued walking forward.

With the word "junior schoolmate", Zhu Weidong knew who the person next to him was.

He said, "Accountant Gu, thank you for your help."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go back first." Gu Baoshan followed halfway and saw that Zhu Weidong knew what was going on, so he stopped and watched him walk away.

Lian Qizhen followed from behind and stopped beside Gu Baoshan. "Isn't Zhu Weidong's wife pretty?"

Gu Baoshan retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at her, and smiled, "A beautiful girl from a small family."

Lian Qizhen: Are you scolding her for being too manly? "Engineer Lian, I'll get busy now." Gu Baoshan nodded and strode away.

Lian Qizhen pouted and slowly returned to her residence.

Zhu Weidong had already gone straight to the rest house at the back. Zhu Yaowu was talking to someone, but when he saw Zhu Weidong, he ended the conversation and stood there waiting for Zhu Weidong.

Zhu Weidong came up to his brother and asked, "Is your sister-in-law still not up?"

There were no outsiders around, so Zhu Weidong asked with amusement, "Brother, how did you recognize me?"

"You've had this coat for five years."

Zhu Weidong said, "My sister-in-law hasn't gotten up yet. Wang Sanmei came with us. They live together."

Zhu Weidong took back the step he was about to take.

Zhu Yaowu looked at his elder brother, who looked exhausted, and advised, "Brother, go wash up and change your clothes first."

After saying that, he seemed to have just remembered, "Lian Qizhen lives with you, is it convenient for you to change clothes?"

Zhu Weidong looked over and said, "We are both men, so what's the inconvenience?"

Zhu Yaowu: "Brother, didn't Lian Qizhen tell you that she is a woman?"

"It's no use for him to lie." Zhu Weidong said.

Zhu Yaowu wanted to hit his elder brother's head and open it to see what was inside.

He took a deep breath, "Brother, I am telling you solemnly now, listen carefully, Lian Qizhen is a woman, and has always been one since she was a child."

Zhu Weidong looked at his brother and didn't speak immediately.

"Brother, you are not going to use this as an excuse to trick my sister-in-law and ask her to explain, are you? It won't work, you should try another one." Zhu Yaowu was going crazy, "I'm telling you the truth, my sister-in-law is very angry now."

Zhu Weidong looked calm and composed from the beginning to the end. "I'll go change my clothes first and come back later."

He turned and went to the front.

Zhu Yaowu was thrown where he was, shaking his head helplessly.

His elder brother is pretending to be confused this time, but why?

Aren’t you afraid of hurting your sister-in-law’s feelings?

Zhu Weidong can't lie and has an upright character. When he lies, he is like a robot with a stiff voice. If he is exposed, he will turn around and leave, as if he thinks that this way he can pretend nothing happened.

Ji Ling had actually just woken up, and then she saw Zhu Weidong and Zhu Yaowu talking in front of the window. She listened expressionlessly. Compared with the complicated expression of Wang Sanmei beside her, Ji Ling seemed more like an outsider, not affected at all, with a bland expression that could be described as indifferent.
