Chapter 296 Fu Huaiyi details their shortcomings
"Yes, according to custom, I should go back to your hometown with you to pay respects to our ancestors, right?"
He looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought, and then gave a soft "hmm".
Lin Yuyao shook his hand and asked, "How many days of leave do you have left?"
"About ten more days."
"Ten days?" His home isn't very far from here, only a few hundred miles away.
Of course, there were no good highways to drive on at that time, and it would take quite a long time to travel even a few hundred miles.
"That's enough. Let's drive back, have fun all the way back, and then have fun all the way back, how about that?"
Fu Huaiyi: "Is that okay?"
"Of course!" Lin Yuyao said with a smile. "It's like going on a honeymoon together."
Honeymoon?
Hmm, that's a good word.
……
The two-story space now contained only the two of them, and an ambiguous feeling quietly crept into their loneliness.
They bought food and drinks and stayed in the house for two days without going downstairs.
On the third day, I finally packed my things and left the house.
Fu Huaiyi put all the luggage in the car, then leaned over to the car door and said to her, "Wait here for me for a while, I'll go buy some more things for us to eat on the way."
"it is good."
She cleaned the car interior, then put on the car seat covers that she had spent half a day sewing, and carefully smoothed them out.
The car interior has been completely renovated and still smells faintly of laundry soap.
The weather is getting warmer, so we need to stock up on water.
Fu Huaiyi returned shortly afterward, carrying two cases of water into the trunk.
“Buying so much?”
"You want this much? Wait a little longer, I'll go buy some more."
"I'll go as well."
He pressed her back down, his gaze sweeping over her meaningfully. "Don't go. Sit down and rest. I'll be back soon."
Sitting in the car, Lin Yuyao was bored. She leaned out of the car and saw herself in the rearview mirror, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Those dark circles under your eyes seem quite noticeable.
She quickly took out a fragrant face cream and applied it to her face.
My mother-in-law gave it to me; it's a high-end skincare product from a certain brand, saying it's perfect for a young girl like her.
Her parents always treated her very well. Although she was born in a rural area with modest conditions, she didn't suffer much hardship in her parents' home.
They had food and drink, and didn't have to do much work.
Her parents raised her to be rosy-cheeked and fair-skinned, with thick, black hair.
I got married a few days ago, and a professional makeup artist shaped my eyebrows. They were already black and beautiful without me even having to draw them on.
Aside from her dark circles, she was still beautiful.
Lin Yuyao was admiring herself in the rearview mirror when she suddenly saw a familiar figure rush into the mirror.
She paused for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw Lu Jiangting and Wang Chenchen standing in the distance.
There were only the two of them; she didn't see Fang Qing.
Lu Jiangting was holding Wang Chenchen's hand and watching her from a distance.
Lin Yuyao felt unlucky, frowned, pulled her head back, and rolled up the car window.
Lu Jiangting ran over in a few steps, patted the car window, and said something.
The sound wasn't loud, and she couldn't hear it clearly through the car window.
Just as she was getting impatient, someone rushed up from the side and punched Lu Jiangting in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Then Wang Chenchen ran to Lu Jiangting, crying as she forcefully pulled him up.
Seeing this, Lin Yuyao couldn't sit still any longer. She quickly opened the car door, got out, and hugged Fu Huaiyi tightly around the waist.
"Don't do it."
Fu Huaiyi's furious heart gradually calmed down under her comforting words.
Across from him, Lu Jiangting wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged at him like an angry lion.
Lin Yuyao quickly stepped in front of Fu Huaiyi again.
Lu Jiangting immediately stopped, stopping three feet away from them.
A mere three feet apart, yet it separated him from them into two opposing camps.
Lin Yuyao stared at him, her anger no less than Fu Huaiyi's.
"Lu Jiangting, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to make everyone's life uneasy?"
Lu Jiangting had a thousand words in his heart, but he also knew that his words were useless to her.
Saying it out loud will only make people dislike you.
But who can we blame for things turning out like this?
Lu Jiangting could only watch as she looked so distressed she wanted to cry.
Wang Chenchen clung tightly to Lu Jiangting's leg.
"Uncle Lu, I'm scared."
Lin Yuyao looked down at Wang Chenchen and said, "You've scared the children. Since you chose them, you should treat them better. You should leave now. I've already made things clear to you. There's nothing more to talk about."
"They treated you badly, Fang Qing treated you badly, she...she might...no, she deliberately did those things to make us argue, to force you to leave me, and you still want me to treat them like that? Don't you hate them?"
Oh, that's ridiculous.
I knew it! He's not stupid; how could he not know?
So he knew everything all along? Then why did he still choose to compromise himself and let Fang Qing's hair salon succeed?
Of course she hated him.
But she also knew about Lu Jiangting.
Only when he decides to live a good life with Fang Qing and treat her as one of his own will Fang Qing be able to understand his cruelty towards his own people.
"How can you live a good life if your heart is filled with hatred? Let bygones be bygones, I don't hate anyone. Go away, and don't come looking for me again."
Oh, she doesn't even hate anymore?
How generous she is!
He truly hoped she would hate them and take revenge on them.
This at least proves that she still has feelings for him.
……
The car quickly drove out of the southern part of the city and onto the national highway.
The weather is so nice; it really lifts my spirits.
Especially when you go to the wilderness, the surroundings are all lush and green.
Lin Yuyao stretched her hand out of the window, feeling the wind blowing through her fingers.
It felt like I had grasped something, yet also like I hadn't grasped anything at all.
When I was in a good mood, I suddenly thought about their fight earlier.
"What did he say that made you hit him?"
Didn't you hear me?
"I closed the car window, and he didn't speak loudly, so I didn't hear him clearly."
Fu Huaiyi chuckled, "Never mind if you didn't hear clearly. This bastard wasn't talking about you; he's slandering me."
"Oh? What are you slandering?"
“We’re already married, and he still said that I only got close to you to compete with him. He said that we were together to disgust him and that I should watch out for him. It made me so angry.”
God knows that it was precisely because of this relationship that he didn't take direct action.
I was worried about being gossiped about, and it took me several days of internal struggle before I made the decision.
Otherwise, they could have gotten married sooner.
Lin Yuyao: "He said that because you used to compete with him in something, right?"
Fu Huaiyi raised an eyebrow. "You guessed right."
Is there even a need to guess? That's exactly what it meant.
"Lu Jiangting is quite capable. He's quick-witted and does a great job on his research projects. He's the kind of person who's very talented and doesn't need to put in much effort to reach the level that others achieve with great effort. But nobody's perfect. He's intelligent enough, but he's not good at interpersonal relationships. I'm the same way; I'm not a perfect person either."
My weakness is that I'm not very good at interpersonal relationships, but I'm better than him. I've always been competitive since I was little, and I often competed with him in school, especially in research projects. Of course, I competed with him for technical advancement; I was never jealous of him. Before that, I always considered him a very good friend.
