Chapter 132 Lu Jiangting No Longer Answers Fang Qing's Calls

Upon hearing the rumors again, he reprimanded the person who spread them.

But what can be done if he doesn't care? Fang Qing was extremely anxious. She called Lu Jiangting again, but he wouldn't answer her calls at all.

She couldn't get in even if she wanted to; as long as Lu Jiangting didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to see him.

This made her unable to eat or sleep, and she was distracted at work, making several mistakes and getting scolded by her boss.

If she hadn't been a person placed there through connections by someone higher up, she probably would have been fired long ago.

But Fang Qing didn't care.

What troubles her most now is not just the anxiety caused by not being able to call Lu Jiangting or by Lao Wang ignoring her, but also the scolding from her boss for making a mistake.

It was the gossip downstairs that bothered me.

If a few middle-aged women get together, today it's one story, tomorrow it's two, and after a few more days, it's seven, eight, or nine.

Not only was she being pointed at and gossiped about, but her son was also being pointed at and gossiped about.

Previously, when she had an emergency, she could ask her neighbor across the street to help take care of her child.

I heard that their family are relatives of martyrs, and the neighbors also like her son very much.

Now things are really bad; when she knocks on the door, the neighbors won't open it, and they won't let their child play with Chenchen anymore.

Chenchen has been crying and fussing several times because she can't find any other children to play with.

Unfortunately, this was all her own doing, so she has no one to blame but herself.

Fang Qing finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

Her reputation even reached the ears of Lin Yuyao, who never gossiped with the stairwell ladies.

That day, she was on vacation. When she bought groceries and returned home, she heard several middle-aged women sitting together at the bottom of the stairs talking about Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing.

She didn't realize they were talking about the two of them when she left the house. When she came back from buying groceries, the older women were still talking about it, mentioning the families of martyrs, saying things like how it's not easy for a woman to raise a son alone, and then being cheated by a man, etc. Only then did Lin Yuyao realize that they were talking about Fang Qing and Lu Jiangting.

She hid on the second-floor staircase and eavesdropped for a long time, eventually figuring out what was going on.

I don't know what the original version was like, but the current version is that Fang Qing was slept with by Lu Jiangting for nothing. He deceived her, not only by taking her body but also by taking her information.

They believed that the young and handsome Lu Jiangting was able to get together with Fang Qing because he had connections with her.

After all, she was a family member of a martyr, and her connections were influential. It was through her connections that Lu Jiangting was able to find a decent job.

Now that she has a stable job, he just dumped her.

Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated; they were even better at making up stories than she was.

When Fu Huaiyi came over to fix the window that evening, she casually asked him about it.

"Didn't your boss say he wanted to matchmake Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing? Why is there no news about it now?"

Fu Huaiyi: "..." Why is she concerned about Lu Jiangting again?

"Is it inconvenient to talk about it? Then let's forget about it."

"No, I don't know about this either. A few days ago, Lao Wang called Lu Jiangting over. When Lu Jiangting came back, his eyes were red. We all thought he had been scolded by Lao Wang, but that's not the case. I don't know what he said to Lao Wang, but after he came out, a few people who were spreading rumors were called over and scolded."

what?

"What rumors are you spreading?"

He gave a brief explanation, which made Lin Yuyao want to laugh.

So the source of the rumors was actually Fu Huaiyi?

"Did you really see it?"

"Well, would I lie? I saw Lu Jiangting rush out of Fang Qing's house in a panic around 6 a.m. I also checked Fang Qing's house, and there was indeed only one room inside. I didn't spread rumors, and I even warned Yi Yunshuo not to make wild guesses. He was in a panic not because he did anything wrong, but because he got his work hours wrong."

Lin Yuyao: "..." She only then realized that Fu Huaiyi was quite good at being sarcastic.

Once his story gets out, who knows how it will become after being told by several people?

No wonder Old Wang came to me and said those things.

“Your leader surnamed Wang is here to see me.”

"Hmm? What do you want?"

"She asked me if there was still a possibility between me and Lu Jiangting."

Fu Huaiyi immediately tensed up.

"What did you say?"

Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and said, "Why are you so nervous? Of course not. I even said that if they get married, I'd be willing to give them a wedding gift."

Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Why should we give them money as a gift? It's too good for them."

Lin Yuyao: "I'll take it back when I get married."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Her words stunned both of them.

Then an awkward atmosphere ensued.

Lin Yuyao took a broom and swept the floor, while Fu Huaiyi took a hammer and hammered the nails that had already been driven in even tighter.

After a while, just as the awkwardness was about to pass, Fu Huaiyi said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you weren't considering marriage for the time being?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Yes, for now. I'll probably consider it later, otherwise who will inherit my copyright?"

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"Just for this?"

"Huh? It's... huh?"

"Ahem, that's good. I also want to have a child, mainly because I'm thinking about having someone to inherit my collection."

The two chatted as if they were telling jokes.

Yet it seemed as if they were seriously introducing themselves, seriously going on a blind date.

If we're really going to be together, it would be good to briefly introduce each other's personalities, hobbies, and so on.

If you have any bad habits that the other person can't accept, it's best to tell them early to minimize the damage.

"What do you collect?" Lin Yuyao asked.

"Me? I love stamp collecting."

Lin Yuyao nodded, thinking that this was a good habit, as stamps were quite expensive at a certain time.

"He also likes to collect all kinds of coins."

Ok?

Which one are you referring to?

"There have been some throughout history."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Fu Huaiyi was a little nervous, worried that she would think he was a spendthrift who wasted his life collecting junk. He carefully explained, "It didn't cost much. I will definitely do what I can afford."

Lin Yuyao asked curiously, "Why do you like these things at such a young age?"

This……

“I feel that very few young people like these things,” Lin Yuyao added.

"I was influenced by my grandfather. You don't think this is some kind of old man's obsession, do you?"

Uh……

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's fine. You can like whatever you want, regardless of age."

Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "I'm glad you don't mind."

Huh? What... what am I complaining about?

"What are your hobbies?" Fu Huaiyi asked again.

Lin Yuyao thought carefully about what hobbies she could have.

It seems like I haven't had any hobbies in either of my lives.

She thought about it seriously for a while and said, "My family is not well-off. It's already difficult enough for us to eat and dress well. I don't have any hobbies."

What hobbies can a poor person have?

She doesn't really have any particular hobbies right now.

Lin Yuyao realized that she was wallowing in self-pity again, so she smiled and explained, "Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I won't have it in the future. Maybe I'll develop some hobbies when I'm financially better off."

Lin Yuyao's first royalties for her second book are coming in soon. The editor says it's selling very well, and she'll have money soon.
