Chapter 153 is a bit of a haunting memory.
"No."
"So where did you go?"
You can't tell the truth, or he'll laugh you to death.
Fu Huaiyi thought for a moment and said, "My uncle asked me to keep an eye on the family across the street."
Ok?
What happened to their family?
“They wanted to leave my sister in the countryside to exchange for her child. I thought everything would be fine once we came back, but I didn’t expect them to still be so persistent and want to exchange again.”
Yi Yunshuo's lips twitched. "That's wishful thinking. Do you think you can just trade eggs? Is exchanging a baby at the hospital that simple?"
"Did the old lady find it easy?"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Keep them here and give them a chance to exchange children."
"Huh?" Yi Yunshuo looked puzzled. "Whose idea was it? Your uncle's."
"No, it's my idea. I haven't told them yet."
"Are you crazy? You'd better shut up, or your uncle will beat you up."
Fu Huaiyi glanced at him indifferently, "What do you know? Exposing them isn't difficult, what's difficult is making my sister completely sever ties with the Pan family. Let them go, let her see the true colors of this family with her own eyes, let her see the true colors of that grandson Pan Hong."
"This..." Yi Yunshuo's lips twitched. "Aren't you going to overdo it like this?"
Fu Huaiyi sneered, "If you can mess things up here, you might as well give up."
"That's true." Yi Yunshuo stroked his chin and said, "Sister Leyi was fooled by that pretty boy Pan Hong."
“Hmm.” Fu Huaiyi nodded in agreement.
"How could this woman be so stupid? She has no money, no skills, and is full of bad intentions. That pretty boy doesn't look like a good person at all."
Fu Huaiyi was speechless, rolled his eyes at him and said, "I told you, and you only realized that kid wasn't a good person after all. If it were you, you're not much smarter than my sister, you'd get scammed just the same way."
Yi Yunshuo: "..."
……
Lin Yuyao felt that she was starting to experience what Zhou Jing had described—that she would think of that person whenever she had free time.
Now, she not only looks out the window when he gets off work, but even when she knows he won't be there, she still glances out every now and then.
That day, when she couldn't help but look outside again, she didn't see Fu Huaiyi, but instead saw Lin Ping, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
She paused for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and then realized that the person waving at her through the glass window was indeed Lin Ping.
"sister."
Lin Yuyao put down her book and hurriedly came out. "Lin Ping? It really is you."
"Who else could it be but me?"
Lin Yuyao looked him up and down. "Why are you so dark-skinned? And so thin. Did you go to work in the coal mines?"
Lin Ping: "..."
"Can't you speak properly? I'm in school, where am I supposed to dig coal? I was dragged away for training and just got back. I'm exhausted, you have no idea how much I've suffered."
My nose gets sore just thinking about it.
"Lu Jiangting is really tight-lipped. He didn't say that going to this school is so miserable. I'd rather go dig coal with my older brother."
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be in even worse shape than his older brother who works in the coal mines.
Lin Yuyao suppressed a laugh, patted his shoulder and comforted him, saying, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, and starves their body. It's good that you're suffering; it means the school has high hopes for you, and you'll have a bright future."
"What do you mean 'look after'? It's not just me; everyone's suffering like this."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"That's terrible! It's not just you who's suffering. Everyone's suffering, so why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry. I just made a few complaints."
Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I won't talk about you anymore. Last time I called home, my parents asked about you. Go to the phone booth across the street and give them a call."
"Row."
"It's so cold now, do you have enough clothes? Do you want to buy a cotton-padded coat? I have money now, let's buy a good one."
"No need, the coats provided by the company are very warm."
"Okay, what about the blanket? Is it thick enough? I saw in the weather forecast that it's going to get colder tonight, down to below zero."
"The blankets are fine, everyone's the same. You don't need to worry about that, I'm not cold or hungry, I'm doing well. All you ever do is ask me, how about you? How are you doing?"
"It's great, I work here."
"I know, I mean your love life."
what?
Lin Yuyao's ears turned red.
"Lu Jiangting hasn't bothered you anymore, has he?"
Whether he comes or not is irrelevant to Lin Yuyao; she can now face him with a calm mind.
Lin Yuyao said, "They're getting married."
"Huh? With whom?" Lin Ping asked in surprise.
"With Fang Qing." She had heard Fu Huaiyi say that Old Wang had successfully acted as matchmaker.
But she found it strange. Since Lu Jiangting had already agreed to marry Fang Qing, why did he come back to her to get back together?
Thinking about him, he's just too greedy, wanting both things at once. I'm afraid he wants to enjoy the blessings of having two wives.
Anyway, Lu Jiangting can't have the blessing of having multiple wives just by wishing for it, so there's no need to worry about him.
Lin Ping sighed for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Lu Jiangting will definitely regret it. I've seen that widow. She's not as good as you in any way. How could Lu Jiangting be so blind as to fall for her?"
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and remained silent, thinking to herself that Fang Qing was indeed no match for her now.
But if she really married Lu Jiangting and was worn down by life for decades, the difference would be reversed.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. You finally managed to get out of here." She checked the time and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'm about to get off work. I'll take you out for a nice meal."
"it is good."
Lin Yuyao didn't know which restaurants were good. So far, the best one she had ever eaten at was the one Fu Huaiyi had taken her to.
Lin Ping ate there once before when he came over, so I took him there again this time.
When the waiter saw that it was just the two of them, he asked, "Miss, didn't Young Master Fu come with you?"
what?
This question left Lin Yuyao feeling quite embarrassed.
Lin Ping asked, "Sis, do you and Senior Fu still come here often?"
"No."
This……
The waiter also felt quite embarrassed.
"Sorry, I was just asking casually. What would you like to eat?"
Lin Yuyao let Lin Ping order for himself.
Before he came, he said he was going to treat her to a good meal, but when the time came, his thrifty nature kicked in again, and he was thinking about how to eat more cost-effectively.
I see the dishes I like, but then I see the price and I can't bring myself to buy them.
He hesitated for a long time before finally getting it right.
Lin Yuyao took the menu and quickly ordered a few items.
"These three dishes, plus a soup."
"it is good."
After Lin Ping and the other waiters left, he whispered, "Sister, those two dishes are very expensive."
"I know, it's their signature dish."
"Then why are you ordering? There are no outsiders here. Let's just eat whatever we can, as long as we're full."
"Okay," Lin Yuyao said with a smile. "Next time, I'll buy you a few big steamed buns, enough to fill you up."
