Steel plant.
Bo Jingran tidied up the messy design papers on the table, leaned back in his chair, took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed it gently. Then he sighed heavily. Ever since his wife went to the capital with Director Li, time seemed to have dragged on forever.
After rubbing for a while, he finally got up, took his lunchbox, and went to the cafeteria to get his food.
Fang Li had been waiting to the side. When she saw Bo Jingran come out, she went up to him with her lunchbox and said, "What a coincidence, Bo Gong! I didn't expect we would meet so often. Let's go to the cafeteria together."
As she spoke, she held up her lunchbox, her face beaming with a smile.
Bo Jingran ignored her and walked towards the cafeteria on his own. Behind him, Fang Li's smile froze, and she suddenly clenched her hand holding the lunchbox. Then she smiled again and continued to follow him, chattering away, regardless of whether Bo Jingran paid any attention to her.
The workers on the road, seeing this scene, all sighed at Bo Jingran's good interpersonal relationships. This woman had only been there for a few days, and she had already started following Bo Jingran around. It was said that this woman was Fang Xiaomei's niece. No one knew how she got in, but she started pestering Bo Jingran as soon as she came in. This woman's skin was really too thick.
Bo Jingran had a cold face. He was extremely annoyed by Fang Li's constant pestering. After getting his food, he wanted to find a place to sit down and eat, but seeing Fang Li following him like a shadow, he gave up and returned to his post with his lunchbox.
A hint of grievance flashed in Fang Li's eyes. She had finally managed to get in here, hoping to take advantage of Xu Qingqing's absence to build a good relationship with Bo Jingran. But now, several days had passed, and Bo Jingran hadn't given her a single kind look.
"Wow, some people are really shameless. Even though Bo Gong is married, they still shamelessly pester him. Pah! They're so shameless!"
Yu Limei spat on the ground, her still somewhat childish face flushed with anger. She stood with her hands on her hips, feeling angry for Xu Qingqing. These past few days, the whole factory had been buzzing about Fang Li's harassment of Bo Jingran, trying to steal Xu Qingqing's boyfriend.
She doesn't care whose Yu Limei she wants to steal, but she can't let it be Xu Qingqing's. Xu Qingqing has helped her and has been kind to her family, so now she has to keep an eye on Xu Qingqing.
Fang Li trembled with anger, her face turning purple: "What's it to you!"
Yu Limei puffed up her cheeks, her face as red as a popcorn popper: "How is this none of my business? You want to steal Sister Xu's man, and I'm going to stop you!"
"Hmph! There are so many single men here, why don't you choose them? Why are you eyeing Sister Xu's man? You bad woman, with me here, you can forget about getting close to Bo Gong again. From now on, I will keep an eye on you every day until Sister Xu comes back."
Fang Li gave a fake smile and mocked, "Heh, you say you're helping Xu Qingqing, but actually you're also after Bo Gong, aren't you? Stop pretending to be high and mighty in front of me."
Everyone knows that Bo Jingran has a bright future. Under the guise of helping Xu Qingqing, he wants to steal her man. Who is better than whom?
Besides, Xu Qingqing was going to separate from Bo Jingran anyway, she was just bringing it forward. Rather than letting the two of them fight each other and waste time, it was better to separate and give Bo Jingran to him, so that the woman from her previous life wouldn't take advantage of the situation.
The title of Bo Jingran's wife will definitely belong to Fang Li; Fang Li is determined to have Bo Jingran.
"Pah! You think I'm as shameless as you, targeting married men? I'm not like you. I have a fiancé. Only someone with a filthy brain like you would slander me. Trash, idiot, lunatic..."
Yu Limei kept berating Fang Li. If she weren't afraid of being blamed by her family, she really wanted to be like Sister Xu and teach Fang Li a lesson without wasting words.
Xu Qingqing: "..."
No! I didn't! Don't wrong me.
Fang Li noticed other people walking this way, and immediately changed her expression. She shrank her neck and pretended to be scared, twisting her hands hard against her thighs, and tears fell down her face. Just then, the passing workers saw this and stopped one by one to watch the show.
More and more people gathered around, and Yu Limei immediately stopped talking and started playing with the ball. If her uncle found out and told her mother, she would definitely get a beating. Recalling the scenes of her mother disciplining her in the past, she suddenly shuddered.
Fang Li knew that people would sympathize with the weak, so she sobbed, and with her pretty face, she really looked like a beauty shedding tears. She said, "Comrade You has misunderstood me. I just wanted to thank Bo Gong for helping me last time. I didn't expect my actions to be misunderstood by everyone, and I didn't expect Comrade You to scold me like this."
Seeing Fang Li crying so heartbrokenly, it didn't seem like she was faking it, and the workers were immediately confused. Could it be that they had really misunderstood Comrade Fang? Thinking about it, they felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't even figured out the situation yet, and they had misunderstood Comrade Fang. It was really their fault.
"Comrade Fang, why didn't you explain this earlier? Otherwise, we wouldn't have all misunderstood you. But what about Bo Gong helping you?"
"Yes, tell us the truth and let us hear how Bo Gong helped you."
Yu Limei opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing that everyone else was focused on Bo Jingran helping Fang Li, she closed her mouth. She also wanted to know the cause of this matter.
Fang Li slowly recounted that she was now living with her aunt and uncle, Fang Xiaomei and Li Jianjun. When Li's mother saw that Fang Jianjun had lost his job because of Fang Xiaomei, he not only did not reflect on his actions but also blamed others, Li's mother was both angry and heartbroken. She felt that her son had been completely ruined by Fang Xiaomei.
So, Li's mother, unable to contain her anger, confronted Fang Xiaomei, which became the trigger for the argument. The mother and son had a huge fight, and Li Jianjun immediately told them to get out, saying that the house belonged to her and her husband, and had nothing to do with him.
Afterwards, Li Jianjun moved out with Fang Xiaomei and her niece, rented a house, and went out to find work. Fang Xiaomei was unable to move her wrist due to injury, so she could only be taken care of by Fang Li.
When Fang Li went out to buy groceries again, she was harassed by local thugs. These thugs usually targeted girls who were alone, but they didn't dare to do anything, only to make a few verbal harassments. That's how Fang Li was harassed. It wasn't until Bo Jingran passed by and glanced at the scene that the thugs, being cowardly, immediately ran away.
That's why she went to great lengths to get into the steel factory, to thank Bo Jingran for his help.
After hearing this explanation, the workers thought about it and, finding nothing amiss, exclaimed, "Comrade Fang is truly a good comrade! He actually came all the way to the ironworks to express his gratitude for Bo Gong's help. His perseverance is truly admirable!"
"I see. Don't worry, Comrade Fang, we will never misunderstand you again."
The others nodded in agreement. Yes, they had really misunderstood Comrade Fang.
Fang Li lowered her head and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, a smug look flashing across her face.
Yuri: "..."
