Chapter 10 : Conflict

“Comrade Lu Fangfang, wait a moment.”

Lu Fangfang was holding her cut braids and had just walked out of the yard when she heard someone calling her from behind.

Looking back, she saw Aiguo chasing after her.

“Commissar , what’s up?”

Aiguo nodded.

He briefly talked about Zhu Haimei’s story.

“Ah…”

After hearing this, Lu Fangfang opened her mouth in surprise.

“Using someone else’s photo for a blind date, and then tricking that person into coming from Shanghai, this… this…”

She didn’t know how to evaluate the man named Li Dajun.

What a big liar and jerk.

Thinking about it, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt that the arrogant Zhu Haimei was a bit pitiful. She was really unlucky in marriage.

“Political Commissar, does that mean Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng really doesn’t know Zhu Haimei?”

“Yes, in this matter, Xiaozhuang is a victim just like Comrade Zhu, so after thinking about it, I have to tell you the truth.”

Aiguo nodded, he was also afraid of a bad misunderstanding.

—

While the two were talking, Zhuang Mingcheng had already arrived at the guesthouse for the second time.

When he came for the first time, there was no one in the room. He went out and looked around, but didn’t see Lu Fangfang, so he had to come over again to check.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

“Comrade Lu Fangfang? Are you there?”

After knocking on the door skillfully, Zhuang Mingcheng waited for a while but heard no movement in the room.

Shaking his head, he put his hand down, and was about to go out to look for it again when the door was suddenly pushed open.

“Comrade Fangfang, you go…”

Zhuang Mingcheng suddenly stopped talking halfway and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Why can’t I be here? If your comrade Fangfang can live in this house, then of course I can live here too.”

Inside the room, Zhu Haimei stared at Zhuang Mingcheng in a daze, feeling uncomfortable.

Such a handsome fiancé turned out to be a fake. She was really cheated.

On the opposite side, Zhuang Mingcheng frowned, turned around, and wanted to leave.

“It was the staff of the guesthouse who arranged for me to live in this house.”

As she spoke, Zhu Haimei took a few quick steps and stopped Zhuang Mingcheng, who was about to leave.

Extending her right hand, she said with a smile, “Comrade Zhuang, let’s get to know each other again.”

Zhuang Mingcheng frowned and did not move.

Seeing this, Zhu Haimei took the initiative to hold his hand, tickled his palm, and then smiled playfully.

“Comrade Mingcheng, hello, my name is Zhu Haimei, your former ‘fiancée.'”

“Comrade Zhu Haimei, the matter has been investigated clearly, so it is better not to say such things casually.”

“It’s just a joke, Comrade Mingcheng, why are you so serious?”

Zhuang Mingcheng felt a chill in his heart. He pulled his hand out forcefully and wiped it on his trousers in disgust.

Are you kidding? Is this something you can just joke about?

Zhu Haimei didn’t care. She looked down and said with some regret, “Mingcheng, you don’t have a partner yet, right?”

“Have.”

“Who?”

Zhu Haimei asked subconsciously.

“Lu Fangfang, you know each other.”

After saying that, Zhuang Mingcheng turned around and wanted to leave.

This Zhu Haimei has bad intentions, and he doesn’t want to continue the conversation.

“Who?”

Zhu Haimei was stunned for a moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter, “Lu Fangfang? Haha, her? Mingcheng, you are not serious, are you?”

“Oh, I am dying of laughter.”

Zhu Haimei was overjoyed.

With anger at being rejected, she deliberately said humiliatingly “Comrade Mingcheng, I’m not saying anything bad about you, but Lu Fangfang is just a country bumpkin, a stinking beggar…”

Zhuang Mingcheng stopped and listened expressionlessly.

“She has no money, no figure, and maybe even a migrant worker who can’t even read. How could you be attracted to her? You really have no taste.”

“Have you scolded enough?”

Originally, Zhuang Mingcheng felt some sympathy for Zhu Haimei, but now he only felt disgust.

“Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, you are wrong. I didn’t curse you. I was telling the truth!”

Zhu Haimei sneered and continued to belittle him

“That Lu Fangfang, isn’t she from the countryside? She’s so dirty, her clothes are all patched up, and she wipes her runny nose directly on her sleeves. What a country bumpkin, disgusting!”

“She has no figure and no culture. What else is she, Lu Fangfang, except being a woman?”

“For someone like her, it’s hard for her to even have a child. Even if she does, it’ll be a country bumpkin.”

Zhu Haimei became more and more excited as she spoke, and she vented all the anger in her heart.

Seeing Zhuang Mingcheng’s indifferent expression, she even scolded the man, “Why did you choose her as your partner? What do you want from her?”

“Because she doesn’t take a shower? Because she’s uneducated? Because she has a lot of patches on her body? Or because she’s dark-skinned? Pah, you’re really from a small place, your vision is very low, you’re only worthy of a country girl.”

“Puff.”

A laugh suddenly rang out in the corridor.

“Who? Who’s there? Come out!”

Zhu Haimei was startled.

At the corner of the corridor, Lu Fangfang walked out with a smile on her face, holding up her long braid.

After she finished talking with Aiguo, she came back and heard Zhu Haimei talking about herself, so she just listened for a while.

She really didn’t expect that Zhu Haimei would have such a strong grudge against her.

Judging from the look of things, her resentment is probably even greater than her resentment towards Li Dajun. It’s really enough.

“Well, Comrade Zhu Haimei, I don’t fail to take a bath, and I’m not dark-skinned. As for cultural literacy, I personally think I’m better than you.”

As she said this, Lu Fangfang couldn’t help but laugh again.

She wasn’t really angry when Zhu Haimei belittled her.

However, she really couldn’t stand Zhu Haimei’s attitude towards the countryside.

After coughing, Lu Fangfang said seriously, “Comrade Zhu Haimei, your tone is full of disparagement of country folks. I want to correct you. Country folks just have poor conditions, but they are not untidy.”

“I hope you’ll apologize.”

“Who are you? I’m talking about that yellow-haired girl Lu Fangfang. What does it have to do with you?”

Zhu Haimei looked at the strange woman who suddenly appeared in surprise and suspicion.

Fair skin, ridiculously short hair, and a dashing green military uniform. She thought for a while and didn’t think she knew this woman.

“Of course it’s her business, because she is Lu Fangfang.”

Zhuang Mingcheng looked at her with surprise, but he recognized the person as Lu Fangfang at a glance.

“What? She is Lu Fangfang?”

Zhu Haimei couldn’t believe it. She stared at the face of the woman in military uniform and gradually felt that she looked familiar.

“You… how did you become like this?”

Zhu Haimei took two steps back in fright, feeling as if she had seen a ghost.

This woman was a stinky beggar just a moment ago, but suddenly she became clean and beautiful. How could she dare to recognize her?

“What the hell, what the hell, damn it!”

Lu Fangfang shook her head and walked to Zhu Haimei. “Comrade Zhu Haimei, please apologize for what you just said!”
