Chapter 530 Their family manipulates each other
Fang Qing walked back dejectedly. Passing by a newsstand, she bought a copy of the newspaper; Lu Cong had asked her to buy it.
The old man was paralyzed, but he read the newspaper every day to keep up with 'national affairs'.
With a casual flip, I unexpectedly saw Lin Yuyao again.
Lin Yuyao's drama has finished airing, delivering a perfect result, with the ratings announced and the newspapers praising her extensively.
She's been given a bunch of random titles, like "the youngest female screenwriter" and "the most talented entrepreneur."
Who is Lin Yuyao? She knows her well. She's just a country girl.
She couldn't understand the data, nor did she understand ratings; she just thought it was all nonsense.
It must have been Lin Yuyao who bribed them to give her a bunch of empty praise.
After reading those flattering words, she was so angry that she wanted to throw the newspaper away.
But then I thought about how I'd spent money on it, and I held back.
At worst, it can still be used as toilet paper, right?
Faced with Lin Yuyao's success, Fang Qing neither understood nor was willing to accept it.
Lin Yuyao was clearly a simple and foolish country girl, easy to coax and deceive, and no match for him when it came to playing mind games.
She was completely manipulated, forced to watch helplessly as she suffered...
I'm so much better than her, how come she's better than me in everything now?
Fang Qing did not acknowledge Lin Yuyao's excellence, and after much thought, she concluded that the problem lay with Fu Huaiyi.
That's right, it's Fu Huaiyi.
Ever since the two of them got together, Lin Yuyao has been different, and everything has gone wrong for her.
Therefore, Lin Yuyao's success today is definitely due to the guidance of a master behind her, namely Fu Huaiyi and the Fu family behind him.
After returning home, Lu Jiangting still gave her the cold shoulder, acting as if she owed him a fortune.
Fang Qing was also annoyed. She put the vegetables she was carrying on the ground, shoved the newspaper into Lu Jiangting's hand, and said coldly, "Look at Lin Yuyao, how well she's doing now."
Lu Jiangting's gaze fell on the newspaper, on the not-so-clear photo of Lin Yuyao.
His gaze softened instantly.
Fang Qing felt a pang of heartache and said angrily, "She's successful today because she married a good man. The Fu family is powerful and wealthy, and they were able to help her achieve her career goals. Look at you, you can't even find me a decent job. You made me work as a cleaner, working myself to the bone for less than a fraction of what Lin Yuyao earns. And you still look down on me? How dare you look down on me?"
Before Lu Jiangting could say anything, Lu Cong on the bed couldn't take it anymore.
"Oh, so you're saying Jiang Ting can't support you, is that it? Then why are you shamelessly clinging to our Jiang Ting like that?"
Fang Qing: "..."
"Let me tell you, if you don't want to live together anymore and want a divorce, you can get one anytime."
"How can I casually talk about divorce? No parent wants their son and daughter-in-law to get divorced every day."
"Others are others, and I am me. I just hope you get a divorce soon. What's the difference between a woman who can't have children and a hen that can't lay eggs? Humph, you think you're so great? Comparing yourself to Yuyao, I don't know where you get the courage."
It must be said that the old man's fighting power is as strong as ever.
Even though he can only lie in bed now, growing weaker day by day.
But whenever he confronts Fang Qing, he immediately becomes energetic.
Fang Qing was speechless, because her weakness had been exploited.
It's not that Lu Jiangting doesn't want a divorce, it's that Fang Qing doesn't want a divorce.
Despite her complaints that Lu Jiangting couldn't support her like Fu Huaiyi supported Lin Yuyao, she knew in her heart that her mediation was beneath her station to be with Lu Jiangting.
She served their family, spent money to have the old lady's cataracts removed, and endured so much humiliation for so long.
She has sacrificed so much; if they get divorced, wouldn't all her years of enduring humiliation be for nothing?
How could she accept this? She couldn't accept it.
Even though she knew that even if the two old men died, she and Lu Jiangting could never go back to the past, she was still willing to gamble on that extremely small probability.
“Yes, I can’t compare to Lin Yuyao, but Jiang Ting still chose me, didn’t he?” Fang Qing glanced at Lu Jiangting, who was silent, and said in a low voice, “Every time I have a conflict with Lin Yuyao, Jiang Ting always chooses to help me, doesn’t he? It’s clear that no matter how bad I am, in Jiang Ting’s eyes I am better than Lin Yuyao.”
They finally turned the tables and made the whole family furious.
Lu Cong lay on the bed muttering to himself for a long time, almost unable to catch his breath.
Wang Cuilan, who was not usually involved in the battlefield, quickly went to comfort Lu Cong, trying to soothe him and saying in a gentle, soothing tone, "Oh dear, what's the big deal? It's been so long, why bring it up again? Fang Qing, your father is so old and in poor health, what's wrong with giving in to him? Look at him, he's so upset, what if something bad happens to him?"
Fang Qing was no longer willing to give in to them. "Mother, you didn't say a word when Father was criticizing me, but now that I'm criticizing you, you're jumping out to accuse me."
Wang Cuilan said, "I'm doing this for your own good. Your father got so upset that he ended up in the hospital, which costs money. Whose money is it? It's yours. You have a long life ahead of you. Shouldn't you save the money for your future? After your father and I are gone, you'll have plenty of time to live a good life."
Wang Cuilan was also adept at manipulating people's hearts, and Fang Qing found this to be reasonable.
That old geezer really angered them, but they couldn't just watch him get hurt, so they had to take him to the hospital.
How can we afford to go to the hospital? Last time, a lot of money was spent, and this is all their money. It hurts her to spend it.
Fang Qing said nothing more and sat down to pick vegetables.
Lu Jiangting had been watching her coldly. When he saw her sit down and pick vegetables as if nothing had happened, he kicked her vegetable basket away.
"Help you? Why do you think I'm helping you? You don't actually think you're so charming that I'm only helping you because of you, do you? If it weren't for Jianjun's sake, or if it weren't for Chenchen's sake, would I even bother with you? Fang Qing, you're even comparing yourself to Yuyao? Where do you get the nerve?"
Fang Qing laughed angrily, "Fine, so you all think I'm inferior to Lin Yuyao, right? If you're so capable, why don't you go find Lin Yuyao and see if she'll even acknowledge you?"
Lu Jiangting clenched his fist and said coldly, "That's none of your business. Stay in this house if you can, get out if you can't."
Fang Qing had been kicked out countless times, and she was already quite calm about it.
But this time, Wang Chenchen, who was carrying the ball back, heard it.
He's on vacation now, and he goes out to play with his friends whenever he has free time.
After playing enough, he went home. Just as he arrived at his doorstep, he heard his favorite Uncle Lu telling him to send his mother away.
He stood at the door, holding the ball, looking at Lu Jiangting with a bewildered expression.
"Uncle Lu."
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Jiangting turned his head sharply.
