Chapter 527

Lu Qiaoge wasn't just making up an excuse.

She did indeed need to go to the Manshan Commune.

President Zhu's phone call seemed full of confidence as well.

So Lu Qiaoge also needed to see if the collected crafts had any potential for export.

And after Kong Fanrong left, Old Hu was full of confusion, so he said to Huang Juan, who had just returned: "You've dealt with Kong Fanrong before, what do you think of this person?"

Fearing Huang Juan wouldn't understand, he told her about what had just happened.

Old Hu complained: "If you say that Wei Sixin coming to the neighborhood office to cause trouble for Qiao Ge was understandable, after all, it was Lu Qiaoge who helped the Lin family find Lin Junan back—I won't even mention the relationship between those two brothers—let's just talk about Wei Sixin. Perhaps she harbored some resentment, feeling that Lu Qiaoge was meddling, and because the brother was found, there was one more person to split the family assets, which is why she came to cause trouble for Lu Qiaoge.

But I don't understand this: Kong Fanrong, out of the blue, comes to Lu Qiaoge to swap houses. What do you think she was thinking? If she were a fool, how could she reach that position, and she couldn't have married Deputy Factory Manager Kang. If she were a smart person, why would she do such a thing? I really don't understand."

He then added: "You are all female comrades, analyze it for me."

Old Hu really didn't understand why Kong Fanrong pulled this stunt.

Huang Juan understood it quite well.

"What's so strange about that? Different people have different natures. She doesn't look down on Lu Qiaoge, and there's no conflict of interest between them, but she feels Lu Qiaoge is young. Don't mention her; actually, many people have been deceived by Lu Qiaoge's age.

That Kong Fanrong is the same.

She thought our Qiao Ge was one of those young girls who would be too embarrassed to refuse her. As long as Lu Qiaoge didn't refuse, the house swap would basically be a done deal.

Actually, as long as both families agree, no one can really stop it. If they want to swap, let them swap. When the time comes, they can just go to the Housing Management Office and change the names."

Anyway, these houses belong to the public, not to individuals.

"Kong Fanrong doesn't have a humble personality. To put it in our terms, she's quite pretentious. Plus, she married well, her living conditions are good, I heard her previous job was good, and her current job is also good. Everywhere she goes, people respect and flatter her, so hasn't that just fostered her arrogant and foul temper?"

"She was thinking that if it works, it works; if not, forget it. She didn't expect Qiao Ge to find her over a hundred suitable ones. Hahaha, that's exactly how she should be treated!"

At this point, Huang Juan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Old Hu couldn't help but laugh as well.

It must be said, when someone like Kong Fanrong meets someone like Lu Qiaoge, no amount of schemes or calculations will work.

Shao Le, on the other side, also put back all the materials he had taken out.

Although Lu Qiaoge hadn't detailed the ins and outs, he had understood.

He also felt it was inconceivable.

That was someone else's new house for their wedding; what right did she have to swap it?

…………

Although no one was gossiping, someone did tell Deputy Factory Manager Kang about this.

Deputy Factory Manager Kang said to Kong Fanrong in a fit of rage.

"What were you thinking? I thought you were usually quite smart, how could you do such a stupid thing? Of all people to swap houses with, you chose Lu Qiaoge."

Kong Fanrong was also full of fire: "Living like this now, you aren't embarrassed, but I am. When the child finds out the truth, what should the child do?

I am also considering her. The child isn't small anymore, she's already in school and knows the difference between a real father and a non-real father. Tell me, when the time comes, will she call you Dad, or continue to call you Uncle?

Aren't you putting the child in a difficult position? I did this for the good of both families.

Lu Qiaoge is truly too arrogant. Just because she achieved a little success, her tail is already in the sky."

"What does that have to do with you? That's her business, the factory leaders will worry about it. What are you pointing fingers at here?"

"I was just saying it casually. At the time, I even specifically pulled Lu Qiaoge outside the office. I was truly sincere in begging her to consider whether we could swap houses. If she agreed to swap, I would have tidied up the house according to her family's style. But instead, she turned around and spread this matter out. Is that how things are done?

I don't even know how she does her job as a mediator. Does she take the masses' affairs and turn them into entertainment the moment she finishes mediating? I even doubt how she achieved the results she has now."

Kang Yuxing irritably grabbed a handful of his hair: "Regardless of how she does her work, it has nothing to do with you. I'm just asking you, why did you want to swap houses with her?"

"Because her house is more suitable, that's why. Besides, if it works, it works; if not, forget it. Is it worth it? Making a mountain out of a molehill, it's endless, isn't it?"

Deputy Factory Manager Kang was simply speechless.

"You are not a child, you are an adult. You can't just say whatever you want and do whatever you want. Can you please use your brain before you speak and act?"

Kong Fanrong was so angry her eyes turned red.

"You're even feeling aggrieved now? I'm telling you, Kong Fanrong, this matter ends here. From now on, you are not allowed to mention it again."

Kong Fanrong was furious, but she had to forcibly suppress it.

She turned and entered the room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Deputy Factory Manager Kang felt as if his heart was blocked by something, so uncomfortable he couldn't catch his breath.

He put on his clothes and walked aimlessly, then arrived at the post office and dialed his home number.

The one who answered the phone was his mother.

His voice choked as he said: "Mom, I saw Wen Guishuang at the military factory."

Mother Kang was stunned for a moment, then asked: "How could you see her? Why, did she transfer to work where you are? Or did she find you because she knew you were there?"

"Neither. She has already remarried, and she now lives right across from my house."

Mother Kang let out a sigh of relief, but her tightly furrowed brows did not relax.

She was dissatisfied with both women her son had married.

And they still had no children to this day.

"That is truly awkward. Can't you swap houses with someone else? Living across from each other is indeed inconvenient."

Kang Yuxing muttered to himself: "Wen Guishuang has a daughter, she's eight years old this year."

Mother Kang was even more confused: "What's wrong with you? Your mood is off today. What do you mean by these things you're saying? Why didn't I understand? Wen Guishuang has a child. That's for sure, can someone who's married not have children?"

"Mom, you haven't seen Chenxi. She looks too much like me. Mom, that is my daughter. Mom, I have a daughter, but I didn't know for so many years. Mom, you don't know how painful I am. Mom, my daughter actually calls me Uncle, I am really too miserable..."

Mother Kang on the other end almost dropped the receiver, raising her voice in disbelief: "What? Say that to me again. Wen Guishuang gave birth to a girl, and she's yours, which means she's my granddaughter? This... this... is this true?"

"Mom, it's true, but it can't be said now. No one can be told, and the child can't be told either. Chenxi thinks Yuan Gong is her real father. Yuan Gong is very good to her, and the two of them have a very special bond. Mom, you haven't seen that little girl, she's adorable, she sings beautifully, and she skips when she walks. Such a small person, when she smiles, I feel my heart melting."

In the private phone booth at the post office, Kang Yuxing finally couldn't help but sob out loud.
