After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 131 Taking a desperate gamble, risking ruining one's reputation.

If you really ask him for money, he doesn't have any.

Yes, that's how we'll do it from now on.

Lu Jiangting had already made up his mind.

But how could Fang Qing let him have his way?

Even if we take a step back and say that Lin Yuyao is no longer going to be with him, it's impossible for her to stay with him.

He's just indulging in his daydreams.

After Lu Jiangting hurriedly turned and left, Fang Qing took a deep breath and made a decision.

She unbuttoned her thin clothes and then buttoned them up haphazardly, giving the impression that she had done so in a panic.

Then she messed up her hair and hurriedly chased after him.

In the distance, Lu Jiangting's back was visible, without him turning his head.

At the stairwell entrance stood Fang Qing, a complete mess, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.

The elderly women at the stairwell stared in disbelief at this scene.

"Chenchen's mom, what's wrong with you? What happened to you?"

Fang Qing reluctantly withdrew her gaze, and almost burst into tears as she opened her mouth.

She quickly covered her mouth, shook her head, and hurriedly climbed the stairs to go home.

Nothing was said, yet it seemed like everything was said.

The aunties at the stairwell have immense influence; as soon as she left, chaos erupted.

"Oh dear, I seem to remember that Chenchen's mother was a widow."

"Is she a widow? I remember that man often came to see them."

"Yes, yes, she is a widow, and the man does come to see them often."

"So... this is just messing around?"

"What nonsense! Who says widows can't remarry? I always thought that guy was pursuing Chenchen's mom."

"Huh? Are they still pursuing each other? I thought they were dating."

"What? You thought they were dating? I thought they were married."

Everyone: "..."

"Why are you all staring at me like that? I've seen that guy leaving their house early in the morning more than once. If they're not married, what is this all about?"

what?

Coming out of that house so early in the morning, they must have spent the night there.

They remembered that the house had a single room layout.

and so……

Did they have a fight?

"do not know."

"Definitely. That guy had a dark face when he left, like someone owed him two hundred yuan. Chenchen's mom chased after him and cried, did you see that?"

"And another thing, all the buttons on your clothes are on wrong. I don't know what happened just now?"

"Is that even a question? They must have rolled around together."

"No wonder she entrusted Chenchen to my daughter-in-law to play with; it turns out she was sending the child away so she could get things done."

"Oh my god, in broad daylight, how embarrassing!"

After some deliberation, the older women concluded that the two were in a romantic relationship, but whether they were married or not was currently unknown.

Anyway, the two of them did it just now, and they even deliberately sent the child away.

But for some reason, the man ran away with a dark expression. The woman was extremely upset and chased after him without even putting her clothes on properly. The man didn't even turn back.

They didn't know why they were arguing.

……

After starting work, Lao Wang went to find Lu Jiangting, hoping to set him up with Fang Qing.

After all, he had already tested the waters with the Lin family girl, and there really wasn't much of a chance. They even generously offered to send her a gift of money.

When Lao Wang called him over again, Lu Jiangting already had a better idea of ​​what was going on and wasn't as clueless as before.

He was very nervous and quietly waited to be scolded.

Old Wang told him to stand aside and wait until he finished his work before quietly speaking.

"Jiang Ting, please have a seat."

Ok?

Weren't we supposed to scold him?

Why did you let him sit?

Could he have guessed wrong?

Lu Jiangting didn't dare to think too much about it. After thanking them, he sat down uneasily on the stool.

He thought Old Wang was going to scold him, but Old Wang didn't. He just asked him, "What do you think of Fang Qing?"

Lu Jiangting's heart skipped a beat, realizing he hadn't been wrong; it had finally arrived.

He thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then slowly began to speak, “It’s all good. My sister-in-law and Jianjun had a very good relationship. After Jianjun passed away, she has been taking care of their son with great care.”

Lao Wang: "..."

He curled his lip, slammed his hand on the table, and said, "Even now, you're still pretending with me. Let me tell you, I know everything about you and Fang Qing."

Lu Jiangting suddenly looked up at him and explained, "You've misunderstood. Fang Qing and I have nothing going on."

"You didn't stay overnight at someone else's house? I saw it; they only have one room."

“Chenchen is sick, and she was worried that she would have a seizure at night. She was alone in the hospital and couldn’t find her way, so I stayed. Although there is only one room, there is a curtain between them.”

Lao Wang: "..."

"I don't know how others spread the rumors, but it must be a misunderstanding. Fang Qing is my respected sister-in-law, and there's nothing between us. What you heard is all just rumors spread by others."

what?

Old Wang was completely bewildered.

Then Lu Jiangting kept explaining his respect for Fang Qing, why he stayed overnight at Fang Qing's house, how difficult it was for him and Wang Jianjun to come from a small town, and how their friendship was so profound. That's why he took such good care of Fang Qing and her son, preferring to suffer himself rather than let Chenchen suffer.

He also said that others did not understand his gratitude and kept gossiping behind his back, which made him very distressed.

His words left Old Wang completely bewildered.

He understood the distortion that gossip could bring. Originally, it wasn't like that, but as more people spread it, it became distorted.

So... could it be that Lu Jiangting was really wronged?

"Are you telling the truth?"

Lu Jiangting nodded hurriedly, "It's true, absolutely true."

"But I heard that the girl surnamed Lin broke off her engagement with you because of your affair with Fang Qing?"

Lu Jiangting: "..." Which big mouth just let it out?

How did Lao Wang even know about his relationship with Yu Yao?

"Yes." Lu Jiangting could only admit it with a forced smile. "Yu Yao doesn't understand me either. She always feels that I'm too good to Fang Qing and her son, and that I'm neglecting her. But she doesn't think about it. At that time, Jianjun and I had to go to that explosion. If he didn't go, I would have to go. If it had been me who went back then..."

He choked up at this point.

“My mental fortitude is not as good as his; my hands were shaking at the time, which is why he insisted on going himself. If I had gone, I would have been the one who died.”

Seeing him like this, Old Wang didn't know what to say to him.

How do you say this?

Someone has to go, someone has to sacrifice.

If it wasn't the two of them, it would have been someone else.

There's no way around it; the peaceful and prosperous world we enjoy today was bought with countless lives.

Of course, he also knew that it would be difficult for the living to recover.

He noticed that Lu Jiangting's condition was not right, and he felt that he should arrange for him to see a psychologist.

Otherwise, what if you can't get out of this situation?

Life must go on.

In the last couple of days, he arranged for a psychologist to provide post-war psychological counseling for Lu Jiangting.

Then, he never mentioned Fang Qing again.

After all, Lu Jiangting had explained to him that it was a misunderstanding.
