Chapter 533: Truly Grew a Dog's Nose

Duan Ruirui, hearing there was something delicious, was the most eager to respond; as soon as Liu Chuxue opened the bottle cap, she blurted out, "It smells so good."

Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Did they add meat? No, is it beef?"

Ji Kunlan laughed and scolded directly, "You really have a dog's nose."

Liu Chuxue took the clean spoon from Ning Xiaoyu's hand, scooped two spoonfuls for each person into the lunch box, and said, "Taste it."

Ji Kunlan also distributed a salted duck egg from the table to each person, saying, "Here, these are salted duck eggs pickled by my second sister-in-law's mother; the taste is truly impeccable, I guarantee you'll like them."

The four of them chatted about factory matters while eating.

Suddenly, Ning Xiaoyu said, "Look, that woman is Wang Dabiao's stepdaughter, Zhao Lulu."

Liu Chuxue didn't understand what she meant: "What's wrong with her?"

Ning Xiaoyu swallowed the food in her mouth: "Don't you know about her situation?"

Liu Chuxue shook her head: "I'm hearing about it for the first time; what's wrong with her?"

Ning Xiaoyu glanced over there and said, "She is Director Wang of the Second Machining Workshop's stepdaughter. Before we entered the factory, Director Wang spent a huge sum to get her a job at the factory clinic, but a few days ago, a girl came to the door claiming she is the daughter of Director Wang's current wife."

Director Wang's first wife died giving birth, and he later married Zhao Lulu's mother; life was going quite well, but who would have expected a girl to come knocking, saying she was maliciously swapped eighteen years ago."

Ji Kunlan chimed in at that moment: "It seems the people in your finance department are too busy to have time for gossip."

Liu Chuxue looked at her: "You know about this too?"

Ji Kunlan smiled: "I heard about this matter from several older sisters in our department this morning."

Before Liu Chuxue could speak, Duan Ruirui on the side spoke up first: "Tell us quickly, what exactly happened?"

Ning Xiaoyu took over the conversation first: "I heard Director Wang's wife's ex-husband was a soldier. At the time of the blind date, Zhao Lulu's mother went with her cousin. The match was made, but the cousin also fell for the blind date target and caused no end of trouble with their dates, but in the end, the soldier still chose Zhao Lulu's mother."

They had been married for nearly two years with no pregnancy, yet the soldier treated his wife just as well as before, which made the cousin, who had come to stay at their home on some pretext, envious, jealous, and hateful."

And by sheer coincidence, a few months later, both families announced they were pregnant; after ten months of pregnancy and one delivery, they happened to give birth at the same hospital."

I've said this much; I believe you can guess what happened next."

Duan Ruirui, who was eating with gusto, interjected at this point: "Is it that the cousin, unwilling to accept it, deliberately swapped the two children?"

Ning Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Exactly. The cousin thought her cousin's husband was capable and conceived evil intentions; upon learning both had given birth to girls, she became even more restless."

And by sheer coincidence, the hospital's power lines failed that night, cutting the electricity for over half an hour, and the cousin actually used that time to swap the two children."

Duan Ruirui's eyes widened: "Did I really guess correctly?"

Seeing her say that, Liu Chuxue truly felt she couldn't bear to look; it was an obvious matter, yet you really guessed correctly."

The other three, excluding Duan Ruirui, seeing her say that, all burst out laughing."

Duan Ruirui only then belatedly understood what they were laughing at: "You're not allowed to laugh."

Ning Xiaoyu raised her hand: "Okay, okay, we won't laugh."

Duan Ruirui rolled her eyes at her: "Hurry up and tell us, stop making us guess."

Ning Xiaoyu glanced over there before continuing: "Later, Zhao Lulu's mother followed her husband to the capital city with the army, but unexpectedly, a few years later, her husband sacrificed his life on a mission. At that time, she had to either marry locally or return to her hometown."

Fortunately, someone facilitated a match in between, and Zhao Lulu's mother married Director Wang."
